Under the Moon (OPEN)

[wolf]

Copper and milky white eyes looked up at the sky, gazing at each star. Cinderwing could not sleep and so she had left the camp, just walking until she finally found herself at the slopes. A heavy sigh left her lips as she closed her eyes and lowered her head, reopening them and staring down at her paws. Things had been going rough for her, she was losing her hunting abilities, prey was running out from right beneath her paws. It wasn't because of her eyesight or anything like that, she knew for sure. It was just, she turned her head to the side, tail curling over her paws. She was lonely. The female had not talked to anyone in days really, she felt distant. With another sigh she lifted her head back up to the sky, her mismatched eyes looking at the glowing moon.

Fangice walked out of camp worry for his mate consuming him she had just had their kits and up til now he hadn't known that his mate was sick. Two of his kits were weak too and since the kitting had tired his mate out they had yet to name the kits. He let out a sigh and looked around hoping his mate didn't get any sicker and that they would have many moons of happiness ahead of them.

Ooc: this is the day before Hswktalon dies, I feel a little bad for Fangice

[wolf]

(( Poor thing. ))

She could sit there for hours looking up at the moon, in a way, Cinderwing thought they were both alike. The moon was scarred yet beautiful, Cinderwing was scarred on the outside but she was a nice cat. "Stop it." She told herself, shaking her head and looking down at her paws. "Your a warrior, you should be tough." She went on talking to herself, lifting her head once again. The she-cat pushed herself up and gave a shake, she was going to walk around for a bit, try to tire herself out enough to where she could fall asleep once she got back to camp. She made her way down the slope she was on, the wind changing direction and brig a scent towards her. With the scent of grass a cat was mixed in it, a fellow Whisperclan cat. She had only made it a few steps from the slope when she had stopped, dipping her head without knowing who it was. "It appears that I am not the only one who can't rest."

[Sand]

Fangice nearly jumped at the voice but forced himself not to react and turned his head in the direction the voice had come from. "Oh, hello Cinderwimg," Fangice meowed his thoughts still filled with ithoughts of his mate and kits. He fluffed out his white fur to get rid of any nervous tension to anyone ele it would look like he was protecting himself from the cold. "How have you been?" he asked her a note of anguish in his voice which had slipped through before he could stop it.

[wolf]

Cinderwing smiled at the tom's reaction, her good eye focusing on the approaching figure. "Hello Fangice." She responded back. Her head tilted to the side as he fluffed himself, she wondered if it was because it was chilly tonight or just to ask his small moment of fear from her sudden appearance and voice. The warrior didn't really care which, just brushed it off. Her ear perked up when he asked how she has been, turning her head to the side with a step. "I have been... okay" She said softly, noting the tone in his voice, she turned back to him. "Are you okay?" She asked, she had heard about his mate and newly born kits, was something wrong?

[Sand]

"I'm fine, just worried about Hawktalon and the kits," Fangice meowed gazing up at the night sky knowing that Leafbare was the worse time to have kits and be sick.

[wolf]

A small oh came from the warrior when he said he was worried about his mate and kits, taking a seat right there with the tom and also looking up at the night sky. "I'm sure her and the kits will do just fine, with some rest and herbs from Pinefrost, they will be strong." She spoke positively, not fully knowing the situation, she didn't like getting into others business. Her tail lay over her paws and with a deep breath her copper and milky white eye watched the steam in front of her. "Just be strong, I'm sure she doesn't want you to be worrying."

[Sand]

"The kitting tired her out so I'm worried that she's sicker then we thought," Fangice meowed flicking his ears but the other cats words had reassured him.

[wolf]

"Fangice, the best thing you could do for her is bring her food and water, don't let her lift a single paw for anything. If she must get up, try to limit it and when she does go watch the kits for her. It should help." Cinderwing wasn't too good with this, she wasn't really sure what was a good thing to do seeing as she never had kits before are a mate so she didn't truly understand how he might be feeling. Copper and white eyes looked to the tom, her tail resting across his paws. "Help her out, go to Pinefrost and ask if there is anything you can do. If there isn't, then you just have to sit and wait."

[Sand]

"I guess your right," Fangice meowed his white fur seeming bright in the moon light and his icy-blue eyes were narrowed in thought as he thought of ways to help his mate.

[wolf]

Cinderwing gave a small nod of her head before looking up at the moon in silence, she wasn't really sure what to say to the tom. After all, the warrior wasn't a very social cat, just did her thing and left as soon as possible. After a bit she lowered her head, staring down at her paws, pawing the ground beneath her. "Will you be here till sunrise or just until you can sleep?"

[Sand]

Fangice glanced at her when she asked the question and has to think of an answer for the question. "Well, I'm not that tired right now, but I probably want stay out here all night," he meowed flicking his ears. "What about you, are you planning on staying out here all night?" he asked her.

[wolf]

Her ear flicked lightly as he told her he wouldn't be out all night, lifting her head and looking to him when he asked what she would be doing. "I'm not really sure." She said softly, mismatched eyes looking away and back up to the sky, shifting from one star to another. "It's kind of nice being out here at night, listening to the crickets and natural sounds of the territory... I will most likely be here all night. Haven't been able to sleep well lately." She answered, tail lightly moving from side to side behind her.

[Sand]

"I need to be in camp tonight in case something else happens to Hawktalon, or if someone needs me," Fngice meowed flicking his ears. "I'm sorry you haven't been sleeping well," he meowed blinking.

[wolf]

"Yeah." She said softly, looking own at her paws with a sigh, closing her eyes for a moment then reopening them and looking back up at the sky. "Will you be leaving soon then?" She asked him.
