Sisterly Bonding Time [Fal]

[Twineheart]

The silver tabby form of Streampaw could be found laying off to the side of Stormclan's camp. It was a hot greenleaf day, and after spending the morning hunting with Brightpaw she was exhausted. Her long fur weighed her down and made the heat nearly unbearable. So now she just lay in camp trying to stay out of the way, and out of view of her mentor. She really didn't want to be dragged off on some training session not in this heat. No way!

Blinking her green eyes which were perfect copies of her mother Nightbriar's she yawns. Glancing around the camp, her mind wonders to the dream she'd had recently. The dream where she had visited with starclan. It had been quite the shock for the young cat, even bigger due to the fact the cat who'd appeared to her had been Silverfish. He was the tom who'd drown after saving her life, and he was Starlingblaze's former mentor. Streampaw blamed herself for his death, and was finding it hard to forgive herself. but the burden of her guilt had been slightly relieved during her visit. Cause unlike herself, Silverfish didn't blame her at all for his death. He'd told her to stop blaming herself to move on. but deep in her heart she was still clining to that guilt, still feeling the need to blame herself.

Crowpaw padded into camp her fur still dripping from her fur, today was hot very hot, which meant it was the best time ever for a good old fashioned swim she shook the water from her coat with a happy sigh and looked around, what else could she do today?

Streampaw who was laying with her head on her paws, lifts it when Crowpaw enters camp. Her green gaze noticing that her sister was soaking wet, she hesitates. Part of her wanting to say hello, and the other not wanting to leave the cool comfort of the shade. but with a flicker of her tail she makes up her mind, slowly sitting up and waving her fluffy tail. " Hey Crowpaw." She calls out hoping her sister would hear her. The pair hadn't really spoken much, of course they'd played as kits. but when they'd become apprentices both of them had gone there separate ways. To be honest Streampaw knew little about Crowpaw. And as much as she loved her best friend Brightpaw, she could really use the company of someone closer, someone related to her by blood.

[Falcon]

Crowpaw walks over to her sister "oh hey" she said with a smile, to be honest she couldn't quite remember which one if her siblings this one was, it wasn't that she didn't love her family, she did, but they had spent so little time together lately that she didn't really know that much about them anymore

[Twineheart]

Streampaw was pleased when Crowpaw heard her and came over to where she sat. She gives the she-cat a small smile her green eyes looking dark in the shade. " How have you been?" She asks after a brief silence, she shifts her paws some unsure what to say. Licking at the white patch on her chest she awaits her sister's reply. Wondering what Crowpaw had been up to, and her other siblings for that matter.

[Falcon]

"I've been alright how about you" Crowpaw responded with a smile, her sister looked unhappy, but she wasn't sure what would be wrong on such a nice day "you in the mood for a swim?" so much like her mother she enjoyed swimming like she were a big furry fish

[Twineheart]

Streampaw hesitates at Crowpaw's question. She didn't want to get into her difficulties of the past few moons. So instead she just shrugged her shoulders. " I've been alright I suppose." She says, brushing the question off. She blinks her green eyes rapidly when Crowpaw asks if she wants to swim, her body tensing up at the very idea. She hadn't gone near the river since Silverfish had died. Let alone swam, she wasn't even sure she could. " I um..." She starts wanting to refuse but feeling guilty and silly. She was a Stormclan cat for starclan's sake! Most were practically part fish! Like her mother and even Silverfish! Forcing herself to calm down she nods. " Okay... lets go." She says regretting the words the second they leave her maw. How was she going to swim? What if she nearly drowned again?

[Falcon]

Crowpaw gets up and smiles "yay!" she says happily "I know the perfect place to swim, it's nice and shallow, you can almost touch the ground there, so it's the perfect place for a relaxing swim" she leads the way out of the camp her tail waving happily as she walked

[Twineheart]

Streampaw gives a weak smile at Crowpaw's exclamation. Trying to appear happier than she was. but she did however feel slightly better at Crowpaw's next words. " Oh great... sounds like...fun." She says back, her voice hiding her panic. At least she wouldn't be drowning in this shallow area, but the fact still remained she had to enter the water. Something she was none too happy about. Following quickly after her sister. Streampaw hides a sigh. She was the one who'd wanted to spend time with Crowpaw so it wasn't fair for her to back out now. Attempting to find whatever courage she had, she trots alongside Crowpaw noticing how happy she was. Was this how she would of been if Silverfish hadn't of died? Would she be this happy? She couldn't help but wonder.

[Falcon]

Crowpaw looked at her sister and grinned "did you hear, we're going to have some little siblings soon, Mom told me, are you excited? I am I can't wait to see them I bet their going to be so adorable" she chuckled "I wonder how many there's going to be this time"

[Twineheart]

Streampaw glances sideways at Crowpaw when she grins at her. Blinking some she attempts to grin back, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. Then at Crowpaw's words, Streampaw blinks rapidly. " Kits!?" She says surprised. She'd been avoiding her parents since her near drowning incident. Mostly Starlingblaze but she hadn't spoken with Nightbriar either recently. " That's...." She starts then pauses as Crowpaw continues on excitedly. How did she feel about this? She asked herself. Then she forces a purr. " That is great news." She agrees flickering her fluffy tail. Her green gaze difficult to read amongst the shade of the pine trees.

[Falcon]

Crowpaw nodded happily "I just hope it goes easy for Mom, she's been so sick lately it's a bit worrisome, but Mom is tough she can do it" Crowpaw added trying to be brave for herself and her family, she was worried but she knew as long as she believed, her mother would be fine

[Twineheart]

" Sick?" Streampaw repeats, her green eyes suddenly worried. She really hadn't been paying attention, she thought feeling a guilty pang. Ears and tail drooping some, she blinks her eyes some. " What seems to be wrong with her?" She asks her sister, sort of ignoring her assurances. She couldn't imagine her mother being sick, Nightbriar was such a strong willed she-cat. but then again she probably wouldn't admit to being sick in the first place.

[Falcon]

[Falcon]

Crowpaw shrugs slightly "I'm not quite sure myself, but she does have a rather nasty cough, it might just be a little cold, cause it isn't green cough season, so I doubt it's green cough but I'm not a medicine cat" she jokes with a chuckle trying to lighten the mood

[Twineheart]

[Falcon]

Streampaw listens quietly to her sister. The answer to her question not what she had hoped. She needed answers, but she knew she wasn't going to get them at the moment. Sighing softly she takes a breath and attempts to calm herself down. " Yeah.... hopefully it's nothing." She says, unable to bring herself to laugh. Instead she eyes the water coming into view before them. " So um... where is this spot your were speaking of?" She asks eager to change the subject though her mind was still fogged with worry.
