Sitting and bored

[Darketh[the not so kind]]

Badgerstripe lay outside the warrior's den, his tail flicking in boredem. "I am finally made a warrior and I'm starting to wish I was an apprentice again. At least that way I would have something to do." He grumbled to himself noticing that all apprenices were out of camp.

Soulfrost sat with her tail curled around Sablekit and keeping him close, his eyes were already open along with his sister's eyes. She didn't have Blazekit with her, after she left to go with the Wanderers a long time ago, Fearowstar had told Coalclaw to father the young kit and she didn't try to argue and take her kit back. Nonetheless she still got to see Blazekit, and she let her and Sablekit play sometimes. Sablekit looked at some of the other kits playing and wished he could too but Soulfrost refused to allow him. His fur was no longer the dark color it had been when he was born, it was a ligther gray because of all the time he had spent outside in the cold when he hadn't even opened his eyes, when Soulfrost carried hiim a long without feeding him and had to set him in the snow to defend Mustangpaw.

Coalclaw's eyes passed over the scene around him, and they rested on Soulfrost. He started to glare at her, but instead looked down at Blazekit and gave her a quick lick before he nodded, indicating that she could go and play with the other kits. He watched her carefully though, he was deeply protective after 'saving her'. He smiled and glanced back at Soulfrost, but quickly looked away again.

[Squid]

Soulfrost caught his glare quickly and pulled Sablekit closer. She didn't like Coalclaw very much after the way he had acted when she left the clan, lucky her Fearowstar had been nice enough to accept her back. "Fine, I'll allow you to play, but not for long" She uncurled her tail and Sablekit dashed up to Blazekit, asking her if she wanted to wrestle.

[brokenspirit]

Coalclaw squinted his eyes in disapproval of the two kits playing, but didn't do anything except nod to Chastitypaw (his daughter) to watch over the kits. She nodded as he wandered over to Soulfrost and sat a few tail-lenghts away from her. He spoke quietly, just loud enough for her to hear, but he didn't look directly at her. Chastitypaw was teasing the two kits and letting them tackle her, all the while glancing at her father every once in a while, watching for signs from him. "So, I see you've come back in one piece?"

[Squid]

Sablekit crouched down so low that his belly touched the earth beneath him. He started walking/stalking towards Blazekit. Soulfrost looked at Chastitypaw "Yes, almost didn't" Her eyes sparkled when she saw Sablekit playing, she loved to see him having fun, which is why she had allowed him to play with his sister, because the two usually had fun when they palyed together.

[brokenspirit]

Coalclaw sat there for a moment, not exactly sure what to say. He continued watching his kit with his adopted one and a smile broke on his lips. He curled his tail around his paws and sighed deeply..."I don't hate you you know."

[Squid]

Soulfrost looked at him "You sure acted like it after I left and when I came back" She snorted, beginning to wash herself by licking her paw and swiping it across her ears. Sablekit stoped stalking but stayed in his position, glancing at Soulfrost, then Coalclaw. "Hey Blazekit? Ever wonder why My mom and Coalclaw hardly talk, or even go near each other?"He whispered. That was true, usually Soulfrost tried to steer clear of Coalclaw after the way he acted when she left.

[brokenspirit]

Coalclaw nodded, "Yeah, that's true. I was angry, and I have a sensitive spot for kits and the way they're treated. I can see that you treat Sablekit right, and even though I never agreed with your decision to leave with the wanderers, I understand why you did." He continued to stare at the kits, and still didn't look at Soulfrost.

Blazekit nodded shyly, and answered quietly, "I don't know, I try to ignore it. Coalclaw is really nice, and I still get to play with you." She turned away from the two adults and tackled Sablekit again, her demeanor becoming happier once they were off the subject.

[Squid]

Sablekit letout a playful meep and rolled over so that shenwas under him, he set two paws on her chest and then jumped off her. "I just think about it a lot because I have a lot of thinking time, because Soulfrost always keeps me close to her." Soulfrost nodded "Silentword did too, he didn't get angry often, but he always loved to help kits and play withn them" Her eyes clouded with pain in the memory of Silentword and how he had died, murdered by the traitor Dragonwing.

[brokenspirit]

"Yeah, I remember too." Blazekit went quiet again, she didn't like talking about her father. It mader her sad. She gave a small smile to Sablekit and shrugged. "I don't feel like playing anymore." She walked quietly over to Chastitykpaw and whispered something in her ear. She nodded and they both headed over to the apprentice's den, Chastitypaw nodding at Coalclaw.

[Squid]

Soulfrost looked at Sablekit as he watched his sister walk away, then turned, and walked back to Soulfrost, tail high, head high, just like Silentword. When Silentword was sad he never showed t, he just looked proud. Soulfrost stood up and waited for him to get beside her before departng into the nursery.

[brokenspirit]

With Blazekit safely with Chastitypaw, Coalclaw sighed heavily and padded after Soulfrost into the nursery. He peeked his head in the entrance and blinked in the half-darkness. "Soulfrost?"

[Squid]

Soulfrost was already laying in her patch of moss. Sablekit was laying on the ground in front of her rolling a piece of moss from paw to paw out of boredem.

[brokenspirit]

Coalclaw padded further into the nursery, not exactly sure of what to say or do. He shuffled his paws a moment and opened his mouth to say something...nothing came out. He shut his mouth so that he didn't stand there looking like a fool, and looked down at his paws again. "Soulfrost...I..." He couldn't seem to form a coherent sentence, but continued to shuffle his feet.
