Causual Chit Chat [Lion]

It was another new leaf day in Whisperclan. It had rained the night before however and now as morning started to creep up on the cats in their nests a low hanging fog clung to the clearing. Clouds covering the sun and making the day look rather gloomy. but considering it was no longer leafbare and the greencough plague was done with. Things were looking up for Whisperclan, well for most it seemed. There was one she-cat who despite the weather change was still rather glum. A petite and rather shy she-cat Tansyleaf had been mourning the loss of her mate Cloudflight for some time. The tom having disappeared just before the birth of their first litter of kits. Now the kits were grown up and nearly warriors. Leaving Tansyleaf with very little to keep her mind off her former mate. Wondering if he'd ever return and why he'd gone missing in the first place. All these thoughts had kept the she-cat up most the night, and the little sleep she had gotten had been restless.

 So now in the chilly fog of the morning she lay in the clearing near the fresh kill pile. A small half eaten vole clutched between her two delicate front paws. Her sky blue eyes staring off into thin air, mind lost in thought.

Thrushstar had woken up early again. He stood alone in the meadowlands, tilting his head back against the cool morning air. Breathing deeply, he closed his eyes, savoring the moments he had to himself. The fog's abating, he noticed, I should get back. Sighing openly, he tromped through the tall grass and headed back to camp.

A small she-cat was crouching int he clearing, her back to him. Tansyleaf. Thrushstar felt a pang of sympathy for his Clanmate, as she'd lost her mate Cloudflight some moons ago. Their kits had never known their father. She seemed distracted, and Thrushstar didn't want to bother her if she didn't wish for company. Perhaps she wanted alone time like him.

but she had been alone for quite some time now. Approaching her quietly, the leader sat next to Tansyleaf, not saying a word.

At first it seemed Tansyleaf was unaware of her new found company. Her sky blue eyes still staring ahead, her maw taking delicate bites of her chosen fresh kill. but then she blinked rapidly realizing that there was indeed a cat sitting beside her and it was no ordinary cat it was her leader. Flushing, she sits up swiftly and bows her head to the tom her tufted ears flickering back shyly. Her feathered tail wraps around her petite body as she looks at the tom shyly. " S-sorry Thrushstar I didn't see you there." She murmurs trying to hold back her stutter. but it was fruitless as she went on her nervous stutter snuck in. " H-how are you s-sir? " She inquires in her soft sweet tone. Wondering how the tom was handling his relatively new position as leader. She couldn't imagine the pressure of having to lead an entire clan. The stress alone would probably kill her.

"No need to address me like that," said Thrushstar warmly, smiling slightly. Some cats always seemed nervous when he came by to just talk. Nothing more than a Clanmate. "You know, you don't need to be afraid of me. Just because I'm leader doesn't mean that I will be watching you like a hawk," he added lightly. "I'm just here to talk. How has your day been?" he asked, his tail reaching forward in an attempt to touch Tansyleaf's shoulder. "I've been trying to get acquainted with my warriors. It'd be nice to know you outside of Clan business."

Tansyleaf flushes embarrassed. " Right s-sorry...s-... Thrushstar." She says quickly nearly having said 'sir' again. Her tufted ears flickering at his words she lets out a nervous giggle. " Oh good I don't much like hawks." She says attempting to joke with her leader. Feeling she had embarrassed herself enough Tansyleaf closes her maw and looks at her delicate paws. but his words cause her to glance up once more her darling blue eyes surprised. " just t-talk?" She mumbles shyly. With me? She thought blinking up at him in her soft sweet manner. " W-well um..." She starts shrugging her petite shoulders. " Alright I g-guess..." She says softly. but it was obvious from her lack of eye contact she lied. Lately she lied a lot about being alright. When deep down she was a miserable mess, fraught with worry. No matter how hard the she-cat tried she couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her former mate Cloudflight. Was he alive? Had he been attacked? Was he safe? All these questions and no answers had the gentle feline a complete mess.
