Newleaf Brings New Life [Falcon]

[Twineheart]

[ Falcon I thought I'd start a new thread^^]

Newleaf was always something the cats of the clans looked forward to. It brought new life back to their surroundings and the clan itself. Allowing the cats of the clans to finally relax some after a long and difficult leafbare. but there was one cat in particular who was over joyed when newleaf had arrived, Starlingblaze. but his excitement wasn't due to the new abundance of prey or the warming weather. No his was over the fact that the cats who'd caught greencough were starting to heal or in some cases already had healed. One of these cats being his beloved mate Nightbriar.

So now as the morning broke over the clan, Starlingblaze returned from hunting. He'd managed to catch two mice but lost out on a squirrel when he'd stepped on a twig. Un phased by his apprentice like mistake he'd rushed back to camp. Here he glanced about in search of his mate. Desperate to see her come out of the medicine cat den, to be alright. Scooping up a mouse and a vole he rushes to the medicine cat den. " Nightbriar?" He calls in hoping the others weren't sleeping.

[Falcon]

Nightbriar sat up, she was still a little weak but thankfully she was recovering well from the greencough that had infected her "Hush Starlingblaze" she whispered softly "the little ones are still sleeping" she was thin because she often passed up her own prey in exchange for feeding one of the younger cats, both during the leafbare and during their recovery

Starlingblaze is pleased when he hears his mate's soft whisper. Falling quiet the tom slips into the medicine cat den. Blinking his mossy green eyes rapidly he looks about spotting his mate. She didn't look nearly as bad as before but she was still ill looking. Padding to her side Starlingblaze drops down the fresh kill by her paws. Pressing his maw to her neck he purrs. " How are you feeling?" He asks her softly his voice muffled by her fur. " I thought you might be hungry." He adds pulling back and pushing the prey towards her. Turning he lays himself at her side, his large fluffy tail laying over her flank.

[Falcon]

Nightbriar purred softly nuzzling Starlingblaze "I'm feeling better" she confirmed, and it was true, she was feeling better now exactly 100 percent but not as terrible as she had been feeling before she leaned down and devoured the prey he had brought in quick hungry bites "I was starving" she grins

Starlingblaze licks his mate's forehead purring happily. " It's so good to see you better." He murmurs relief washing over him for the first time in moons. Watching her devour the prey hungrily he grins. " I can see that." He remarks. " Easy there it's already dead it won't run away." He jokes since she was eating so quickly. Like it might be her last meal. Grooming her shoulder fur some he flickers his tail against her flank. " I wonder what Fallenstorm thinks of mentoring his grandson?" He remarks after a little while, his whiskers twitching. " He's quite the paw full Silverpaw is." Chuffing he looks to his mate for a reply.

[Falcon]

"It might be just what Daddy needs, he could do with a bit of socializing, him and Mommy haven't spent a lot of time together lately" Nightbriar was worried, ever since her father became depressed he and her mother drifted apart and now they barely saw each other anymore and it saddened her

[Twineheart]

[ Falcon ]

Starlingblaze was slightly surprised. Realizing he'd gotten so caught up in his own life and problems he'd neglected to pay attention to that of Nightbriar's kin. " Oh I didn't realize." he says licking her cheek softly. " Perhaps they just need a reminder of why they fell in love in the first place." he says softly. " I'm sure they can work it out and in the meanwhile Silverpaw will keep Fallenstorm busy." He says kindly, his mossy green eyes soft. He couldn't imagine drifting away from his mate, she wasn't just his mate she was his best friend.

[Falcon]

She nodded a little, worried about her parents despite her mates attempts to cheer her up, she didn't want her parents to become strangers, they had been so in love when she was a kit she didn't know what it would be like for them to not be in love anymore it was just strange

[Twineheart]

[ Falcon ]

Starlingblaze could tell Nightbriar was still worried. Licking her cheek softly he nuzzles his maw into her neck fur. " How about a walk?" He suggests gently. " I think it would be good for you to get out of this den for a bit." Blinking his mossy green eyes at her waits to see if she'd agree. Eager to get her out of he medicine cat den and on her way to full health. He missed her being around to sass him.

[Falcon]

She seems to think it over, then nods getting up slowly on her still recovering limbs she smiles weakly "A walk sounds good" she started toward the entrance of the den flinching a little as the bright sunlight glared into her eyes "where do you want to walk?" she asks her mate
