Camp [♥x] {oh.how.boring}

[>>BLACKiE! ]}]

The slender white medicine cat came out from Maplestar's den, in search for the brown tabby tomcat leader of EarthClan. Although her eyes betrayed no emotions, she was indeed confused and fairly bewildered at the current happenings. Padding up to Maplestar, she gazed at him intently with her bright emerald eyes. "Bear wishes to see you in your den," she meowed softly to Maplestar, flicking her tail in order to gesture towards his den. With that, she turned and amde her way back into the den.

Maplestar nodded. "Never surer," he meowed to his deputy as the tom approached. "There's something about Bear... Something that I can't place, but makes me feel like we should trust him." Maplestar shrugged. "Anyways, it's not like he can do anything to us. He looked like he had been nearly torn apart when he staggered in the camp."

Maplestar turned and looked at Ivorywing. Nodding and following the she-cat, he wondered what Bear wanted to tell him.

"Lilacpaw, it's alright", Hazelpaw mewed gently to her sister, stroking her with her tail. "You don't have to love him right away, if at all." Hazelpaw now felt like a mother talking to her kits. Hazelpaw just sat next to her sister, sympathy for her in her eyes as she looked at the blue-gray apprentice. "Just..sort out your feelings first, maybe take a walk", Hazelpaw mewed to her friend and sister. She only wanted the best for her, and hoped that she and Wildpaw would be together soon.

[>>BLACKiE! ]}]

"Well... I suppose so," Lilacpaw meowed, seeing the truth in her sister's words. She stared down at the ground, trying to regain her normal and hyper composure. Looking up and pulling her whiskers back in a cat's smile, she gave her sister an amused look. "But first, how're you and mister Littlepaw?" she asked, tilting her head to the side as she awaited her sister's response.

[[:; [h] e a r t ::♥]]

"Pretty good. I think I'll tell him I like him," Hazelpaw meowed happily. "Why don't you go on a walk? I bet it's do you good, just to think about things" Hazelpaw mewed, gesturing towards the entrance.

[Why doesn't Lilacpaw go to Wildpaw's secret spot?]

[>>BLACKiE! ]}]

[Good idea. :3]

"All right, Hazelpaw. Thanks!" Lilacpaw meowed in response to her sister's advice, eagerness to get out of Camp in order to clear her mind so that she could think properly passing through her eyes. Indeed, it would be good to breath in the scents of the forest with a touch of frosty leaf-bare weaving in and out through the glades. "I'll go right now," she added with a nod of her head, and with a flick of her blue-gray tail in farewell to her sister, she made her way to the entrance of EarthClan Camp.

Wildpaw sat, restless in the apprentices den. He had to go think, to just get some air. He walked out of the camp, not even feeling the cold pierce his pale ginger fur. Maybe my- Me and Lilacpaw's spot, he thought, as he came closer to the spot.

[Battooth]

Almost as if a radar went off in Battooth's head, the obsidian tom opened his eyes as the snow started falling. His ears flicked as he looked out the entrance of the warrior's den and his eyes danced with delight. "Rainfeather," he meowed to the she-cat, giving her side a gentle prod. "It's snowing!"

Battooth stayed still for a moment before rocketing out of the warrior's den, scattering a few nests as he went. He leaped into the air, his mouth open to catch the falling snow. He squealed with pure joy, throwing away any thoughts of looking somewhat mature. He danced around in circles, squeaking and squealing as he leaped into the air, catching a snowflake, then leaped across the clearing to catch another. This had happened as many times as Battooth had seen snow falling. When Mistheart had been in the Clan, she and Maplestar would sit in the entrance of a den out of the way and watch him dance around the clearing.

[[:; [h] e a r t ::♥]]

Rainfeahter's head went up in shock, then realized it was Battooth. "Oh, yes. Snow!", she called, finally realizing what Bottooth said. She got up and went to catch a couple snowflakes, then sat, watching the energetic tom bounce around. She giggled a bit, watching him jump around, catching snowflakes. She shook as her back became dusted with the delicate white flakes.

[Battooth]

Battooth barreled past Spottedpelt and nearly sent the she-cat toppling over. "Sorry!" he meowed, refusing to stop moving as he did so. He pranced around Spottedpelt as she righted herself, then darted away again when he realized she was okay.

"Be more aware of your Clanmates you mouse-brain!" the spotted she-cat yowled after the energetic cat. The leopard-like cat had had it with immature toms today. She looked around camp, hoping to find someone sane to talk to.

Battooth skittered back to Rainfeather's side and touched her shoulder with his nose. "You're it!" he meowed before darting off again, racing around the fresh-kill pile with his mouth open. He was hoping that maybe if he ran fast enough he could catch the flakes before they hit the ground.

[>>BLACKiE! ]}]

The white medicine cat made her way out of the den. Seeing Battooth occupied, she looked around for Crystalrose, sweeping her bright green gaze around the EarthClan Camp. Padding up to the cream and black colored she-cat once she saw her, Ivorywing didn't bother to press questions to why the she-cat looked a little down and without her normal regal, refined air surrounding her. "Listen, Crystalrose. That new cat that came today is Maplestar's father, Bear. I have no doubt about it, but Maplestar just doesn't believe, I don't think, either that, or he's just angry. Can you talk to him?" Ivorywing meowed, making her point clear as she sent a glance in the direction of the brown tomcat.

Crystalrose's chocolate brown gaze hardened for a moment at the mention of Maplestar's name, but she knew that she would have to obey the word of the medicine cat. "Very well," she meowed in a short tone, turning away. "But I'm only doing this for you," she added as she padded away, leaving Ivorywing mystified. Crystalrose mulled over in her mind what was happening. She tried to sort out her emotions. How could she be mad at Maplestar? Yet, she was. Jealousy, perhaps? No, it couldn't be. Could it?

"Maplestar?" Crystalrose asked cautiously as she made her way to the EarthClan leader.

[Battooth]

Maplestar's head snapped up and he glared. "What?" he snapped. Seeing who it was, Maplestar immediately felt bad. "Sorry Crystalrose," he meowed apologetically. "What did you need?" He hoped that she was feeling better from earlier when he had been talking to Dovefeather. What had happened there anyways? Maplestar shoved that thought away. What Crystalrose had to say now was probably more important.

[>>BLACKiE! ]}]

Crystalrose looked at Maplestar hesitantly, averting having to meet his gaze by turning her chocolate brown gaze elsewhere in the establishment known as Camp to the EarthClan cats. "I..." she began, then faltered for a few moments, not knowing how to do Ivorywing's bidding. How was she supposed to bring the subject up to Maplestar?

"What do you know of the tomcat within Ivorywing's den?" Crystalrose asked, settling for that inquiry. She was rather frightened at the fact that Maplestar could easily lash out at her for asking about such a point in his life. Concern was in her eyes, but she still wasn't exactly sure about something.

[Battooth]

Maplestar's fur bristled dangerously and his eyes glinted like chips of cold stone for a moment before he calmed himself. "I know exactly who he is," he growled. "He's a rouge who is going to stay until he's better. Then he will leave this Clan, or I'll forcibly remove him from the territory myself." He glared in the direction of Ivorywing's den. "Why do you ask?" he continued.

[>>BLACKiE! ]}]

"There's a resemblance between you and him, a strange one," Crystalrose murmured softly to Maplestar, averting having to answer his question as she forced her own chocolate brown gaze to try to meet Maplestar's blue one. A small hint of fear was in her eyes as she attempted to control her feelings like medicine cats did. She shuddered mentally as she saw his eyes contain a cold glint in them before he regained his composure. Awaiting his answer, Crystalrose couldn't do anything else but wait and hope that he wouldn't lash out at her.
