Come Sit Beside Me (Tagged & Open)

[Lionhearted]

The warm sun beat down upon the clearing, and Rosetail was panting as she dragged her paws into the camp, her fur matted with sweat. "Oh, I need a good swim," she muttered, flopping down upon a rock. "Yeow!" Springing up, she hissed in pain as the hot rock burned her belly. "Great StarClan! There's nothing that's cool in here? I'm off to the creek--" 

"Half the warriors are off at the creek!" complained a fellow StormClanner. "You can't go just yet. You'll have to wait until the others get back. We're filling in for them." Rosetail clenched her jaws and obliged, grabbing moss to deliver to the elders. Life was tough too when it was greenleaf. Ugh, I wish it was still newleaf, and not this disgusting hot season. She felt as if she had no energy left, and her head drooped. This is so boring! she thought hazily, her mind half awake. I wish I can lie down, but that just makes everything hotter.

The moss that Lakewhisper clenched in her jaws felt just as hot as the air, and she dropped it with a soft hiss, her mouth burning just a little. Casting a glance around at her long-furred Clanmates, she felt a stab of pity. If she was this hot with her short pelt, she could only imagine how they felt. No wonder most of them were lounging around on the ground, trying to take shelter under the tiny scraps of shade. She sighed as she looked down at the ball of moss laying by her paws, meant for the elder's den. I should soak this in some water first. I don't want it to burn the elders.

The sound of shuffling pawsteps made the silver tabby she-cat looked up, and she spotted Rosetail trudging by her, heading for the elder's den as well. She too was holding a ball of moss, and also looked miserable. Lakewhisper looked down at her ball of moss again before moving to intercept Rosetail.

"Hey, Rosetail, I think the moss might be too hot for the elders," Lakewhisper meowed quietly once she reached the other warrior, a bit hesitant since she wasn't used to socializing with her Clanmates. She tended to keep to the fringe, steering clear of other cats.
