He sat almost stone-like within camp, Flarewind's ears flicked forward. What he was waiting for, not even he knew about it. Tail tip twitched ever so slightly, as he sat there, golden-green eyes staring into space. He had been named temporary deputy. He was to mentor Terrapinpaw. Ears flicked, and he smiled. Finally, his stone-like state dissolved, and he shook out his coat. He was estatic, happy that life was slowly getting better. It had seemed all worth it now, staying within the Clan after Eveninstorm had left. He had another apprentice, he had Musicdrift, and he was temporary deputy.

Shaking his paws out, he pushed himself up, looking around. Speaking of Terrapinpaw and Musicdrift... where were they? Tail swayed behind his body, ever so slowly, as he stood almost in the middle of camp. And, he hadn't seen Lightningstorm around, either. Did something happen to the older tom? Did he leave SerenityClan, just because Mystique wasn't allowed in?

Feeling someone's eyes upon him, Flarewind turned his head. Of course, there was Musicdrift. A smile crossed his muzzle, and he pushed himself up, heading over to the orange tabby. "My dear. What has gotten you so worried," he asked, sitting himself down beside his mate, running his tongue quickly over her ear. A soft purr rumbled in his chest, as he sat there, glad to be beside her. Tail tip twitched, and he shuffled his paws on the soft camp ground, supressing a yawn that threatened. Now, all he needed to do was to see Terrapinpaw, perhaps go training with her.

[/color] She mewed, pressing her head against her mate's shoulder, breathing evenly again before licking his ear. The orange tabby looked up at her mate, breathing in his scent quietly. "Not busy today? I thought mr. temporary deputy would be busy patroling or hutning for his clan" She mewed, chuckling and pressing her nose his his own before standing up and shaking her pelt out. It was a mess, she had noticed, before starting to grooming her ruffled pelt.

The tom could sense something really was bothering his mate, but he didn't continue on with the subject of it. Instead, he merely smiled at Musicdrift's comment. "I was planning on going hunting later, after I saw if Terrapinpaw wanted to go along. But, I haven't seen her yet." Tail flicked, and whiskers twitched in amusement at how she tried to get her ruffled fur to lie flat. His own was a bit prickly, but he didn't bother to make a move to groom himself. Tilting his head back, golden-green eyes looked up at the sky. "What were you dreaming about to cause you to look so disgruntled?"

"You are forgetting that I am going to worry about you, love," he ran his tongue gently over her ear, and smiled. Tail flicked, as he sat there, still wondering what could've bugged her so. Ears tilted forward," Don't we have apprentices to train?" Head shifted to the side, and golden-green eyes narrowed. Where was that Terrapinpaw? He would like to take her out to do some training. And that was not goign to happen if she wasn't going to show up.

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

[/color] She mewed, tail flicking back and forth. She smiled, laughing quietly. "I'm giving Blisspaw the day off. He's been working so hard. Him and Mousepaw need some time by themselves" She mewed, grinning brightly.

Flareind frowned, but nodded. "If you say so," he mewed, and shuffled his paws on the ground. But he could not get the feeling that something was really going on with Musicdrift. Something that she ought to tell him. He shrugged it off, and stretched his forelegs out. "Ah. Well, I am not giving Terrapinpaw the day off. If she wants to become a warrior for SerenityClan, she can learn how to be one without lazing around." Even if her mentor does that at times, he thought with a smile.

_{[ooc]Lizzeh, Kee won't be able to post with Terrapin cos she ish in Scotland visiting me and Fernie ^^. She posted in the absent board a few days ago ^^.}

[---> LIZZEH]

ooc; Thank you Spice, however, Flarewind was merely wondering where Terrapinpaw was off to. xD

[Spice..xx]

_{[ooc]Lol kayy thats fine, I just wondered if you knew or not ^^.}

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

[/color] The she-cat meowed, nuzzling his throat with her nose before pulling away. A question was on her mind, something she wasn't sure how her mate would react. She stiffened once before relaxing. "If...If I ask you something, do you promise to tell me the truth, Flarewind?" She questioned, her voice quiet, her eyes on her paws as she shuffled them back and forth. Her tail tip twitched, still curled around the temporary deputy's.

[---> LIZZEH]

Give Terrapinpaw a break? "I guess I can give the apprentice a break for right now," he said, and smiled as his mate nuzzled his neck. A purr rumbled his chest, and he let his ears flick slightly. She wanted to ask him something? Head turned, looking at Musicdrift. "What is it," he asked softly, his tail tip flicking slightly. He stiffled a yawn, as he sat there, the sun warming his coat. Oh dear, he was getting sleepy now. He blinked his eyes a bit, and twitched his whiskers, trying to stay awake.

[/color] Musicdrift asked quietly. She let out a breath, standing to shake out her pelt before sitting back down. Her eyes were curious, hoping for a postive answer from her mate. She had watched countless mother have kits, and the kind-hearted she-cat had always wanted her own family. Her best friend had had a litter, why couldn't she. The orange tabby watched her mate's face for a moment before looking away.
[/ul][/size]

[---> LIZZEH]

A family? Musicdrift wanted to start a ... family? Ears flicked, and his forepaws shuffled on the ground. "Uh..." he said, obviously lost for words. Golden-green eyes looked at his paws, and his whiskers twitched. "I... I wouldn't mind, Musicdrift." His voice shook slightly, unsure of what the outcome of this would be. Really, he had not thought that far ahead about kits. He was taking it a day at a time, but ... if she was ready for them, he would be as well. A smile crossed his maw, and he rasped his tongue over her ear. "A family we shall have, dear," he whispered, continuing to run his tongue over her head and ears.

[/color] Musicdrift mewed softly into her mate's cheek, her voice coming out as a soft whisper which turned into a light hum she normally hummed for the kits in the nursery, soothing herself from the fear that might have been rejection about her family. She let out a sigh, grinning up at her mate. Her Flarewind. It still sent butterflies fluttering in her stomach everytime she thought of him.

Ears flicked slightly, and the tom smiled at Musicdrift. At least she was happy now. She had looked so miserable lately, with everything that had been going on. But, the prospect of a family must really be doing wonders on her mind now. Tail tip twitched, as golden-green eyes floated up to the sky, watching it before going back to look at his mate. ""What did you think I was going to say? That I didn't want to start a family? I'm sorry, but I am not like my sister was. I plan on having kits," his whiskers twitched slightly. As he mentioned Eveningstorm, his ears tilted back. He didn't talk much of his kin, and even now, it felt weird. It was as if the she-cat wasn't really his sister, but someone who had just been a close friend, then they grew apart. Which, could be true.

Shaking his head, he purred again, rubbing his head against Musicdrift's. It felt good to be loved, it made his heart swell. And everything else just topped off his good life. Especially having Terrapinpaw as an apprentice. It was sad that Jasminestar had left, leaving the Clan to Clearpool, but leaders were excepted to give things up for their Clan. And maybe this was something that was included in that. Giving up your life within your Clan to do something for StarClan. Tail tip twitched, and he yawned, becoming even more tired.

[kee :]]

[[ Walking around, head in the clouds. Yep it was pretty much a normal day for Terrapinpaw. Her brothers and sister were probably out training, well her sister, Eclipsepaw was probably sleeping in the apprentice's den. Figures. Her brothers could be out battle training? Or hunting with their mentors? Whatever the case was, was that she wasn't going out training today so it seemed. She didn't exactly know were Flarewind was, she would if she was actually looking for him and not staring at the clouds and the birds. Probably since the last time you saw her, she has changed. Surprisingly, Terrapinpaw is still growing, but not belly wise. Actually, she was growing into the size of her stomach and training meant she didn't have as much time to eat as she used to. To tell you the absolute truth, she was growing to be a very marvelous looking cat. Pretty or even beautiful, you might say. Of course, she didn't know this, nor did she care how she looked. The only thing she cared about was becoming a warrior. And that would only work if she could train.

That thought put her in a determined position to look for Flarewind because today, no matter what he said, they would train. Her amber eyes were ripped from the clouds and pretty quickly, they found where Flarewind was sitting. Of course, Terrapinpaw didn't really even see that Musicdrift was sitting with him, or hear how private their conversation was. So knowing Terrapinpaw, you can guess what happened next. "Hi Flarewind! Are we gonna train today?" the tabby she-cat asked, in her high excited voice and she giggled at the sound of it. She was so excited to train that it was making her laugh. How silly of her!

Of course. Terrapinpaw would ruin a good moment. Flicking his tail, he opened his eyes, which he had just closed, and looked at her. "You want to train? Fine, we will train. Where were you earlier? I was wondering where you had gone off to," the tom pushed himself to his paws, shaking out his coat. He looked at Musicdrift and smiled weakly, and licked her cheek. "I will talk to you later, dear. Better train Terrapinpaw." His golden-green eyes went back to the apprentice, and his tail swayed behind his bulky body. Ears flicked, as he walked forward, whiskers twitching. He hadn't minded getting Terrapinpaw as his apprentice, but she needed to realize that some things that he did were private, like talking about a family with Musicdrift. If she heard, he didn't care, but it was best if she hadn't barged into their conversation.

He wasn't irritated, per se. Just a bit fuming at the interruption. That was the closest the two had been in days, and now they probably wouldn't be able to have another moment like that for another few days. "So, what do you want to train in? Hunting or fighting? Or shall we do a patrol?"

[/color] Musicdrift stumbled over words as she looked at her paws, tail still curling and uncurling around her small, dainty paws. She sighed as she placed her head beside her mate's. The silence after lasted only a few moments before the high, squeaky voice of Flarewind's apprentice cut in. She cursed quietly under her breath, turning her gaze towards Terrapinpaw, glaring at the she-cat before nodding at her mate. The orange tabby turned and padded towards the nursery, her emotions brightening again as she thought of telling her best friend about the family that would be going to the nursery in the next moons.

[kee :]]

[[ It was after she spoke and giggled for a second or two that she realized what she had done. It was like she had been smacked after a good joke. The smile from her face was whipped off, leaving it broken. Her good mood was gone after seeing Musicdrift's glare and hearing Flarewind's harsh words. She really tried to let it go because training in a bad mood wasn't going to make it any fun. But seeing as though Flarewind was in a bad mood, it wouldn't be fun either way. Her sad amber eyes stared at the ground and surprisingly, she didn't even answer Flarewind's question to start. "That was rude of me, Flarewind. I'm sorry I interrupted. I really really am," he mewed quietly, her voice cracking slightly. She tried to push her sadness back. "Can you give my apologies to Musicdrift as well?" she asked, trying to brighten up.

For a second, she thought about her answer and then nodded. "I'd like to patrol today." And that was that. The tabby began to pad toward the entrance of camp but then she stopped. A thought suddenly occurred to her and she had a question that just had to be answered. "Flarewind, what's it like to be in love?"

[---> LIZZEH]

[/right][/size][/font]

I think you can apologize when we get back, Terrapinpaw. It is not an apology if I tell her you are sorry.

[/color] The tom flicked his tail, staring down at Terrapinpaw and flicking his ears forward. As Terrapinpaw started to pad away, the tom sighed, and followed after her. Shaking his head, he twitched his whiskers, trying to calm himself down. Musicdrift's question still played in his mind, replaying over and over like a broken record. When Terrapinpaw stopped, Flarewind paused, and heard her question. What was it like?

Well. Its like .. you are walking on clouds and nothing can bring you down. I say its the best feeling in the world. Why do you ask, Terrapinpaw?[/color] Her mentor walked to her side, and looked at her with a quizzical look. Why would she want to know what it felt like? Flicking his ears, he looked at the entrance to camp and let his tail sway. Shouldn't he get some more cats to go on a patrol with him and Terrapinpaw?[/blockquote][/size]

[kee :]]

[[ Yes, of course. That made sense. Terrapinpaw smiled slightly as she began to realize that mentors not only taught you to fight, hunt, and patrol, but manors and how to be polite. Flarewind was also very nice, even when he was annoyed with her. Terrapinpaw could tell very well that he was annoyed with her, but she ignored it. Everyone was always annoyed with her anyway. She would personally go to Musicdrift when she got back and tell her that she was sorry herself. It was the only polite way to do it, right?

Ah yes, the answer to her different but good question. Walking on clouds and nothing could bring you down? That sounds like Terrapinpaw when she isn't in love. If she was in love... Wowsers. But she wasn't. And she doubted she'd ever be, not that she really cared at all that much. "Oh, I'm just curious..." the tabby she-cat murmured and looked away. Aloepaw... He had been really nice to her that one day when Jasminestar announced she was leaving. Terrapinpaw hadn't spoken to him since... She was a bit nervous. "Aloepaw... He was nice to me. He didn't call me chubby or make fun of me like my brothers do," she mewed quietly, and then grew a tad warm. She giggled then, of course. Her signature giggle.

[SHADE. :D]

aloepaw

A coffee-coloured shape slipped from the apprentices' den. Aloepaw blinked, his wide, oddly bright green eyes swinging around the camp. He then stretched his forelegs, shook himself and padded into the camp fully. He noticed Musicdrift and Flarewind talking, but limited himself to nodding respectfully. It looked like they didn't want to be interrupted. He trotted to the fresh kill pile, then found he was not hungry, so simply sat in an unusual splash of sunlight, and began to groom his slightly ruffled coat. He opened his green eyes as he heard Terrapinpaw's voice. He waved his tail in greeting at her, smiling his trademark enigmatic smile. The tom then returned to grooming his chest. After finishing, he got to his paws, giving himself a final shake. Aloepaw then wondered what he should do. He didn't particularly want to hunt or patrol alone. But he couldn't see his mentor anywhere.
