When life gets a little boring... (Tagged/open)

Silverbreeze rolled onto her back underneath the shady tree she was under. Her eyes darted up towards the sky as the soft rays of the sun half blinded her. Twitching her ears, Silverbreeze let out an irritated grunt and curled her paws up while still laying down on her back. There was nothing to do. Her fluffy pelt felt a chill as a breeze flew past her. She had already been out on a patrol so what was left to do. Slowly, she closed her eyes smiling at the feel of how perfect this leaf fall day was. All she needed was a companion to make it better. As long as it wasn't a she-cat. Silverbreeze had a hard time communicating with those of the same gender. She always found it easier to talk to toms. If there was any possible way a she-cat could talk to her, Silverbreeze would instantly hide not being able to say anything. Leaves had already started to fall and Silverbreeze was in a playful mood. She crosses her eyes as one started to fall directly on her face. She moved her paws and started batting at the leaf as if it was some toy. Purring in amusement, she let the leaf fall onto her muzzle and looked at it. She couldn't help but think, maybe it was time for her to get some friends of her own. Maybe even a mate for her to settle down with. Not everything had to be about training to become the best all of the time. Silverbreeze sneezed as the leaf tickled her nose. She felt like she was a kit in the nursery again. Playing alone in the clearing with not a single cat paying attention to her. Her fluffy silver and black pelt ruffled against the breeze. It was decided. Silverbreeze needed to find some friends of her own. Someone she could openly talk to about anything that was on her mind. For now, she sat up shaking her pelt to get the dirt out of her pelt. As she watched the warriors and apprentices pass by, she wondered, which one would stop to talk to her. Who would be her friend?

Honeyrain came from the cave mouth that housed the Warrior's Den and let out a large yawn. She had gone hunting earlier and after depositing her kill to the pile, she promptly took herself to the Dead Willow to do some climbing. There she had done so much she ended up falling asleep in a fork of two branches. Keeping your mind occupied took a lot of work and Honeyrain was terrible at it. 
Sweeping the clearing with tired, amber eyes, the darkly colored orange tabby saw Silverbreeze sitting by herself. Not really knowing much about her, Honeyrain shook out her pelt and trotted over to the other she-cat, tail waving high. "Hello!" A small flutter of excitement filled her. Nothing wrong with being friendly! Perhaps over time they could become friends. Not that it was easy for Honeyrain. Friendships took time and care. Who knew how Silverbreeze was at maintaining them. All the same, this Leaf-fall day wasn't looking too promising. Conversation and who knew what else could be welcomed.

Frightened from the approach, Silverbreeze jumped a bit landing on her stomach. "H-Hi Honeyrain. I didn't see you coming," she greeted still slightly in shock. She smiled at the more experienced warrior as she had just recently been made one. "How are you today?" She questioned awkwardly not know what else she should say. Her paw repeativly dug at the ground from not knowing how to socialize properly with other she-cats like Honeyrain.

Feeling slightly guilty for startling the other warrior, Honeyrain dipped her head in apology. She had developed a habit of walking quieter. "I'm doing pretty well, actually. You?" The formality of it all made the older warrior feel awkward. She hadn't been this formal in a long time. Shaking out her pelt to rid of the small chill, Honeyrain licked her whiskers and scolded herself silently. Get a hold of yourself! It's another cat not a badger. She knew Silverbreeze was a newer warrior, probably in the last couple of Clan meetings or so. 
"Are you enjoying being a warrior? I know it's not always what some expect. I sure didn't when I came here!" Her tone was light, welcoming. As she spoke a rhythm was found and she started to feel herself a bit more. It wasn't that hard to speak with another and it sure wasn't a terrible thing to do! Maybe her not feeling like she belonged to TalonClan was from not opening up to more cats. Curling her tail around small, light paws, Honeyrain looked at the fresh kill pile. "Looks a little low, doesn't it? I feel like no matter how hard we try Leaf-fall gets the better of us."

"I am enjoying being a warrior. Except my apprentice can be a bit... feisty at times. As if he's trying to hide something from me," Silverbreeze stated. "It does look a little low. I wonder if we'll have enough this Leaf-bare." Trying to shake off the previous awkward feeling, Silverbreeze smiled along with the other warrior. Perhaps, could this be the start of a great friendship bond? The smile planted on Silverbreeze's face increased at that thought. She loved meeting new cats, but rarely did she ever find a good one.

[Honey]

"Forgive me, but I can't remember who your apprentice is...a kind of feisty you think they'll grow out of?" The TalonClan warrior appreciated spunk but was glad to have Fallenpaw as an apprentice. She was full of life and wanted to learn all she could. With luck they wouldn't butt heads later on. Not that she minded terribly if they would. It helped to build patience and kindness - in both!
Looking back at the pile and hearing Silverbreeze's words, Honeyrain suppressed a shudder. Leaf-bare was never great and thinking of all the new litters of kits....shaking her head and letting out a sigh the golden warrior perked back up. "Well, we could always hunt in a little bit if you'd like to join me. Nothing wrong with trying to gather more before we lose daylight." Leaf-bare was just around the corner! She felt it in her bones when waking in the mornings and trying to sleep at night. The air was stiff and threatened to drop that cold powder, something she wasn't too fond of! That being said she did enjoy playing in it. Old memories swam behind her eyes as she reminisced.

"I don't think he will. I get an evil presence from him," she muttered. Silverbreeze nodded at the older warrior's suggestion. "I'm all for that!" she exclaimed while getting up on her paws. "Where shall we go hunt?" Slowly, she stretched her limbs to get rid of the tense muscles. Hunting was always fun with others to hunt with. "Alright! I'm all ready to leave," she smiled.

A dark gray tabby tom was peacefully sleeping in his warm nest in the warriors den, dreaming of the thrill of the hunt. but before the dream could come to a satisfying end, Ashleqp heard muffled coughing from some resting warriors around him. With a sigh, the senior warrior peeked open his hazel eyes. Standing up with a yawn, Ashleap knew that it was probably futile to try and go back to sleep. He stretched out his slightly stiff limbs before hopping out of the nest made of moss and feathers.

Making sure he wouldn't wake anyone else, he padded quietly to the entrance of the den, peering outside. Bracing himself for the cold weather of leafbare, he stepped out into the cold, snowy clearing. Glancing around, the tom saw a couple of she-cats talking to each other. Stomach grumbling, Ashleap walked over to the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a small mouse. He settled down near his talking denmates and quickly ate his fill. Overhearing that Silverbreeze and Honeyrain wanted to go on a hunt, he turned to them, flicking his ear in greeting. "Mind if I join you two?" Ashleap asked lightly. His paws were itching to get out of camp.

Honeyrain wasn't too sure what to say about the other warrior's apprentice. She hadn't really met him. "Maybe we could train our apprentice's together and see how that goes?" Perhaps this young cat needed to be around another cat his age? Fallenpaw seemed to be as good as they came. Maybe her influence would help him. Nonetheless, an odd feeling crept into her gut. Maybe he was just dark and part of her didn't want Fallenpaw open to that. It was too late now, Honeyrain had already extended the invitation. 

As Silverbreeze was ready to leave, Honeyrain opened her mouth to speak until she saw a dark gray tom come near. If she had been using her nose it would have been easy to tell that it wasn't Ashnight, instead it was Ashleap, but that didn't stop her from going still. For a brief moment her heart stopped. Clearing her throat to ignore the moment and quickly plaster a smile on her face, Honeyrain responded almost too excitedly.

"Oh, of course! The more the merrier." Looking to the other she-cat for confirmation that it was okay the other warrior flicked her ears absently and took a quick sweep of the camp. No one in sight, that was good. Well, no Ashnight. That's what mattered.
"Alright, where should we hunt?" Biting her tongue to keep from talking even more, Honeyrain looked at the other two. Her words didn't have much meaning really. She had gotten uncomfortable and nervous and wanted to fill the silence. Breathing deeply Honeyrain centered herself again and shoved Ashnight to the back of her mind. He didn't need to consume this moment or any moment after! Besides, it was kind of her fault that....

Shaking her whole body to avoid looking like a crazed-feline by just shaking her head, the TalonClan warrior sat and wrapped her tail around her paws. There. That was more normal and seemed casual. Right?
