Greenleaf blues (open)

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw sighed and flopped down on the golden grass. It was just too hot to do anything. She was not her cheeky energetic self lately. Her thick coat was a nightmare on hot days like this. She longed for the cool crisp air of leafbare, or maybe just something to do. A small beetle crawled onto her paw. It tickled. Despite her mood, she giggled, forgetting the heat for one precious moment. But then it came back, like a wave of boiling water. At that moment, Silverpaw cracked. Yowling with frustration, she jumped to her feet and yelled to the sky, " You mouse-brained weather! If I have to go through one more day of this, I'll kill myself!"Realizing that she sounded stupid, she stopped, embarrassed. Maybe I should go hunting to take my mind of things... She thought, but decided against it, no prey would be out on a day like this. So, she sat back down on the grass, hoping that sooner or later, something would happen.

OOC- Who will take Silverpaw out of her misery? Or maybe worsen it?

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

Sunstorm's ears pricked up as he heard the sound of yowling- the heat was gettign to everyone. He got up reluctantly, not wanting to get up from his cool spot in the shade. But...the poor apprentice needed someone to cheer her up or take her mind off the heat. He padded swiftly towards her, her scent clear and easily followed. Stepping quickly he reached her in a matter of seconds, and his golden form emerged from the tall golden rushes. "Silverpaw? What's the matter? oh,.... the heat's getting to you isnt it?" he meowed knowingly. "Why not go for a swim?" He meowed in a friendly manner. "C'mon, I can join you if you don't wanna go by yourself!"

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw jumped to her feet. Finally, someone to talk to! Not only that, but he had offered to play with her. "Swim? That would be great!" Energy rushing back into her at the prospect of cooling down, Silverpaw let out a giggle and, wanting to get there as fast as possible, said, " Race you there!" And started to run.

OOC- Yay, my first rp!

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

(Really? ^^ well I hope you have fun =D)

Sunstorm laughed at Silverpaw's eagerness. He waited a bit longer, before stretching out his long legs, and setting into a straight out sprint. His lean body and legs gave him power to streak past the silver apprentice, and he gave her a roguish grin before darting past her, down to the silvery side of a small lake. He splashed noisily into it's cool clear waters, the ripples fanning out across the surface, disturbing it's still waters. With a grin, the golden tabby turned, looking for Silverpaw, still immersed in water up to his chest...

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw was amazed at the warrior's speed, but refused to show it. Leaping into the lake after him, she said with a mrrow of laughter, "I let you win that!"Then, she dipped her silver fur completely under the water, and emerged right by Sunstorm, drenching the parts of his pelt that wasn't already wet. The previously still water was now alive with ripples. "Look at all the little minnows" Silverpaw stood still, and as the water settled, they started to swim around her paws. She giggled with pleasure. They're so tiny!"This was the most fun she'd had in a while!

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

Sunstorm laughed, his blue eyes crinkled with mirth. "Oh, so you LET me win, ah, gotcha! That was very noble and kind of you!" He purred teasingly, batting a paw at the water to splash Silverpaw. "Yes, so many minnows! And there's a really big one, right in front of me!" He meowed, adopting a surprised expression. He grinned. With her wet silver fur, Silverpaw reminded him of a minnow with it's sides flashing in the sunlight. "Maybe they should have called you Minnowpaw!" He joked, his teeth bared in a smile..

[Sealvah™]

"Yep, I let you win alright." Silverpaw purred, with a cheeky grin on her face. She let out a yowl of fake anger as Sunstorm splashed her, and splashed him back. "Yes, the minnow next to you is big. I think she likes you. You two would make a great couple!" She put on an innocent face, smiled, and her gaze returned to the minnows swimming in the water. She laughed as Sunstorm gave her a new name. "Yes, I'd be Minnowpaw, and-" Her sentence was cut off as she noticed a fish swimming nearby. "I bet I can catch that!" Slowly and carefully, she took several steps to get closer to the fish. Her bright green eyes intent on her prey. When she was near enough, her front paw lashed out. She felt her long claws sink into flesh. "I caught it" She exclaimed. But to her disappointment, as she brought it to shore and lay it down on the pebbles, she realized that it was actually quite small. Refusing to let this upset her, she shot a triumphant look at her companion, and splashed back into the lake.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

Sunstorm laughed. "Me and a minnow? Why, how positively adorable!" He grinned, joining her on the joke. "Well caught Silverpaw, I see you're a natural at fishing!" He gave her a smile. "We can work on your technique a bit if you;d like- you can't catch the bigger fish like that- you were off balance a little bit, but that means a greater chance of the fish pulling you under." he explained. "You have to keep all your weight on your hind legs, so you can pull against the weight of the fish. Here, let me show you." he meowed, taking his fishing stance.. He stared into the clear water, it's ripples distorting the view of the ground underneath it, and waited until a good sized fish swam close...He lashed out a paw, claws unsheathed, and sunk his claws into the fish. He grabbed onto it with his other paw and pulled- sending the fish flying onto the river bank. Quick as a flash, Sunstorm leapt out and dispatched the fish before it could flop back into the river. "See? Now you try! Wait until you see the perfect fish, and then strike. Remember to stay completely still until you do." he meowed, his blue eyes warm and friendly

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw watched the golden warrior intently as he hunted, and her emerald eyes widened with awe as a huge sparkling fish soared through the air and landed with a plop by her considerably smaller one."Alright Mr. Expert! I'll have a go." Silverpaw stood perfectly still, her long tail straight out behind her. She tried to put all her weight on her hind paws, as Sunstorm had told her to do. She kept her eyes on the cool lake water, and waited. Slowly, the remaining ripples around her cleared, and a fish came into view. It was large, with shimmering silver scales and round, emotionless eyes. It took no notice of her. So far so good! She thought. Slowly her claws became unsheathed, and before you could say "fresh kill," they had sunken into the fish. As fast as she could, Silverpaw hurled her prey unceremoniously onto the shore, but it didn't go a far as Sunstorms, so so had to scramble up to the pebbly beach before it flopped back into the lake. She killed it with a quick bite to the neck, or what seemed to be where it's neck was. She then carried it over to where the other catch was. It was bigger than her first fish, but still not as big as Sunstorms.

Suddenly there was an ear-splitting noise coming from the middle of the lake. Silverpaw spun around and yowled with surprise. A big, shiny twoleg monster seemed to be very angry, and was in the water! The stench of it filled her nostrils, and she wrinkled her nose with disgust. "Monsters can swim?" She yelled over the noise, Wishing the sound would stop. "What are those twolegs thinking?" She inquired, praying that it wouldn't come any closer. Who knew what it would do to them. Waves started to splash onto the shore because of the gigantic ripples the monster made. Silverpaw had never seen anything like it.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

Sunstorm had opened his mouth to praise Silverpaw on a job excellently done when a floating two leg monster roared into view. He grimaced with distaste. "Two legs..." His golden fur stood up on end and he glared at the floating roaring object. The waves frothed and splashed wildly, and Sunstorm knew they wouldn't catch any more fish, not for a while. "Yes they can." he meowed grimly, yowling over the noise to make himself heard. "C'mon, we'd best scramble out of here. They do come up on shore at times." His blue eyes shone angrily. "If only they weren't so noisy and obnoxious!" He growled, picking up his fish and Silverpaw's small one. She'd want to carry her catch back, and display her skills as a hunter. He'd wanted to when he'd been a young apprentice. "C'mon Silverpaw, grab your fish." He meowed through silver scales...

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw nodded, still staring anxiously at the roaring monster. She picked up her catch and padded to the edge of the pebbles, where their mottled gray coolness led into crisp, dry grass, and various small trees. She sighed. "It's just like those twoleg monsters to spoil our fun, and they've found out a way to do it even when we're in the water. They're annoying enough on land." She said this through a mouthful of fish, and small scales fell to the ground, as she walked away. "Oh well, at least we caught some fish, and maybe even food for some mice! Do you think they like fish scales? It would be a nice change from all that grass!" It was getting to be evening, so everything had cooled down, and being out of the water was becoming much more bearable. "Well, thank Starclan that it's cooled down" She meowed gratefully as they approached the camp. Talking always cheered her up.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

"Tell me about it." Sunstorm muttered, his ears pinned back to his skull. "Two legs cause more trouble than they're worth. Yes, you're right, at least we caught some fish. Haha, I'm not sure if the mice eat fish scales. But do you really want to wait around and see? Aren't you huuungry?" He meowed, amusement coloring his tone. He was suddenly glad of Silverpaw's company. Her excited chatter was helping him keep his mind off other things, and he'd really needed company today. "Oh, I totally agree." He added, closing his eyes in pleasure as a small breeze rippled his fur. "Ahh....the morning or the late evening is always my favorite time. It's cooler and there's so much more to do when it's cooler." He padded through the small tunnel to the camp, and then out into the clearing, where comforting Lightningclan smells reached his nose. "C'mon, take something to eat, from the freshkill pile after you give that to the elders. They'll welcome some fresh fish." He meowed with a smile. "Want to sit with me while we eat?" he asked. "I'm going to take my fish to the queens, so if you want, we can meet by that tree over there. The twisted gnarled looking one." he said, padding off without waiting for a reply. If she wanted to talk with him more, he'd meet her there. The large fish still danglin from his jaws (he'd dropped the smaller fish on the freshkill pile, it'd be plenty for an apprentice) he padded towards the den and into the small entranceway to the nursery. Meowing friendly, he greeted the queens and left the fish for them to eat, his paws taking him on the path back to the tree...

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw nodded as Sunstorm talked, and hoped that the elders wouldn't be in need of any new moss. She hated dragging the dirty, and sometimes slimy stuff out of the camp. her stomach rumbled as she passed the fresh kill pile. She was hungry! Silverpaw padded over to the elders den and presented her fish to them, exiting quickly so they wouldn't have a chance to ask her to clean out their bedding. Deciding that she would eat with Sunstorm, she picked out a fat vole from the fresh kill pile, and trotted over to the tree that he had pointed out. Her mouth watered as the aroma of juicy flesh filled her nostrils. This scent was much better then that of twoleg monsters. She gave a sigh of contentment as she flopped down in the shade of the gnarled tree, and waited for Sunstorm to join her.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

Sunstorm could see Silverpaw lay down and begin to eat her piece of prey as he emerged from the nursery. Leaving behind warm scents of milk and young kits, he padded quickly towards the tree. He wasn't that hungry, so he passed the pile by and continued on to where Silverpaw awaited. "That was quick." he meowed, flicking her ears with his tail. "Wanted to avoid cleaning the elders' dens?" He grinned. "Well, if that's the case, I wouldn't blame you. I never found that exciting either. Too smelly." He turned and laid down where he was, not far from Silverpaw. "so what have you been up to lately, Silverpaw, other than frolicking about in the lake waters? You're a new apprentice right? But you don't have a mentor, am I correct? Well...hopefully you'll get one soon...but...I can always help until you are given one." He smiled. "but that aside, i'll let you eat in peace, haha, you look like you're starving. when did you eat last? last night?"

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw smiled as Sunstorm approached and lay down beside her. "Yes, I hate cleaning out their beds, and when I do it I hardly ever get thanked! You would think that they would remember the times when they had to do apprentice duties. I am sure that when I'm an elder I'll clean out my own bedding!" Silverpaw mused, and continued on her vole, relishing the taste. She knew that soon it would be leaffall, then leafbare, and prey like this would be scarce. "Hmm... what have I done besides frolicking in lakes... nothing much, really. I don't hunt, patrol, or battle train either. And I never ever would dream of doing apprentice duties! Nope, I just play around, all day, every day." She joked, a cheeky glimmer in her green eyes."And I can't wait for a mentor, because then I can train, and become the best warrior that I can be!" She stood up, puffed out her chest, and strutted around the shade of the tree. I'm a big important warrior! I can do whatever I want! I can order the apprentices around: Get me some fresh kill! I get to stand in front of you on patrol! No you can't eat yet! Do more battle training!" She then sat back down, and finished up her vole. "Best vole I've ever had! Ohh, look at the sunset!" Silverpaw nodded towards the brilliant display of pinks, oranges, and reds that lit up the evening sky. She loved to watch the sun sink below the trees, but always wondered where it went then. She sighed a sigh of contentment as the sun turned from a bright orange to a flaming red.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

Sunstorm grinned. "You'd think they would, but hey, they're cranky old cats, what do you expect? Haha, I can just imagine you as an old elder, yelling at the apprentices!" He teased, his blue eyes sparkling. "Bossy much?" He laughed. "Hmmm.. so, your warrior name...would it be.." he paused, trying not to laugh, "Silverbossywhiskers?" He coughed to a hide a laugh and managed to look seriously at Silverpaw, even when she looked towards the sunset...

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw turned her head to give a thoughtful look at Sunstorm. "Silverbossywhiskers.... sounds good! All apprentices would fear the horrid chores I gave them! " She meowed, also trying to suppress a laugh. The moon was coming up now- it was almost full. "There will be a gathering soon! I love gatherings! Well, actually I've never been to one, but maybe I will soon." She said, hopefully. "Did you ever think you could see a cat in the moon, Sunstorm? The ears could of been cut off, and those dots could be eyes..." Her voice trailed off as she imagined the cat in the moon. She let out a yawn. It had been a long day.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

"Yes, it is almost time for a gathering. I think you'd love it- its always so nice to meet the cats from other clans. You know, to see what lies outside our clan. You can make friends, as long as they don't lead you to compromise the warrior code, but I've never met a cat who did yet." He shrugged. "I hope you can come to this gathering. You should be able to..." He mused, thinking. "What? Oh a cat in the moon?" He turned his head to the sky, where the glowing luminescent orb hung, surrounded by a multitude of glimmering stars...He tried to imagine a cat's face in the moon, and squinted at the silvery surface. "Hmmm, I guess if I look carefully I can imagine that! That's pretty neat Silverpaw! Haha, you stare up at the sky thinking of these things? Because that's pretty cool." He meowed, his eyes still on the moon. "It sure is pretty up there...I wonder...Do Starclan get to visit the moon? Is it lke a forest here? only silver? Or what woud it be like? That's what I wonder about." He said with a smile as he turned his eyes to Silverpaw...

[Sealvah™]

Silverpaw smiled. "I do like to look up at the sky. There's always something new to see up there. A funny shaped cloud, the moon, and thunderstorms, especially! They are really fun to watch. She chattered away, happily. "Of course Starclan cats can visit the moon! I bet they shape all the clouds, too. I wonder what they feel like?" The camp was quiet now, and lots of fireflies lazily buzzed around in the clearing. The crickets chirped in the grass, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Silverpaw began to groom her pelt, flattening her thick silver tabby fur down with her tongue.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

"Probably soft and wispy, or at least thats what I'd think." He meowed, rolling over onto his back so he could stare up at the sky in comfort. Over head, the stars twinkled merrily, and the moon shone warmly upon them, turning thier pelts to silver. There was a comfortable silence for a moment, and then Sunstorm turned to Silverpaw. "So, do you have any siblings?" he asked, "I've never seen you with any cats really...I don't know much about you at all, despite that you're my clanmate. And I aim to fix that. " He meowed..
