Connections (Brokenpaw and Firemist)

[blueskysummer]

Brokenpaw dropped his catch on the fresh-kill pile with a sigh. just like he had done yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that....

continuing to go back in his mind, he padded to a quiet spot in the camp. his stomach rumbled, but he couldn't eat. the thought of food made him gag.

he plopped down, placing his head on his paws and closing his emrald eyes. those dumb emrald eyes that reminded him of what he had lost every time he saw his reflection. that and his black tail, reminding him of Night...

Oh, sister, he thought, holding back tears. where are you now?

((huzza for irony XD))

The sun shone on her pelt, causing it to glow like fire. Hence the name, Firemist. Firemist padded confidently into the camp. Yes, Foxcloud hated her. However, her bravery had won the respect of most of the clan. Firemist looked around the camp, her gray eyes moving in a sweeping motion around the clearing. Her gaze rested on the green-eyed apprentice, Brokenpaw. She'd never really held a conversation with the apprentice.

Firemist padded toward the apprentice with purpose. "Good morning, Brokenpaw," she said in a warm, cheery tone. "Is Flamingspout planning on taking you out training today? Or is it your day off?" She twitched her gray tail. Firemist was not annoyed, she was lounging about the camp. Foxcloud tried to avoid giving her assignments to keep her in the camp. Firemist spent her time assisting the medicine cat and having intelligent conversations with the elders. She only got out with Shadowfire to hunt every other evening.

Muse;; It's actually pretty good!
Notes;; Can we get Pik to join with Shadowfire? Shadowfire and Firemist are supposed to become mates....

Brokenpaw opened his eyes, then almost closed them again at the brightness of the cat before him. Her pelt was the color of fire, and just as bright.

Firemist... He thought absently. He'd heard a bit about her, though had never met her before now. "Morning," he said with a nod. "And yeah, I guess it's my day off. We went out yesterday, and I did a bit of hunting this morning." He chatted idly. "I might go out again, depending on what the clan needs."



((sure! Shadowfire can join ^^))

The busy Fireclan tom traveled from the fresh-kill pile to what he had hoped was someone he knew. After a brief moment, his misty green eyes focused on a light form. "Firemist...I think I'm finally free..." The tom's voice was playful, yet had the thickness of exhaustion to rival lead. Shadowfire was clearly overworked within the clan. Almost any cat who was interested in new topics of gossip or interest had noticed this about him. Why was he always the target for Foxcloud? His pads felt raw from the patrolling and hunting. It felt like moons sense his belly-fur touched a soft moss bed for longer then a nap fit only for a flee.

The reasoning was almost always before the brown-red tabby if he could focus enough to put it all together. Foxcloud didn't like him getting close to Firemist, so she was making him work while keeping Firemist herself nothing to do.

Taking note of Brokenpaw, Shadowfire gave a small nod to the apprentice before giving a long stretch that was well needed. The muscles beneath those black tabby stripes loosened small amount, but not without some understandable protest. Taking the chance to finally get off those pads, the Fireclanner flopped to the thinnest patch of snow near him. Giving a small mrrrow at its soothing cold. "You must be bored. When was the last time you got to see the ice in the trees?" His misty orbs perked to Firemist's grey ones without movement from the relaxing head. To be honest, Shadowfire was bored as well. Though possibly a different bored then the she-cat was.

Firemist nodded at the apprentice. "That's good. The clan needs warriors and apprentices who are able to assign themselves tasks that need to be done," she meowed with approval. It was mighty loyal of Brokenpaw to hunt when it was his day to rest. Firemist only wished that she had something to do. Foxcloud practically confided her to the camp... She spent her days assisting Darksky, the medicine cat, and holding idle chat with the elder's...

Firemist looked up at the approaching cat. At first, she thought it was Foxcloud, come to yell at her for distracting an apprentice. But it wasn't. It was her best friend, Shadowfire. "That's good. Listen, I'll have a word with Burningstar about giving you a day off. You are far too overworked," she meowed, her tone serious. She was angry that Foxcloud would overwork Shadowfire, yet never give Firemist anything to do.

Firemist pondered Shadowfire's question. "If you mean just see in general, um, right now, but if you mean while actually being in the forest, I'm not exactly sure..." the ginger she-cat sighed. She hated being cooped up. But, there was nothing she could do about it, so she might as well have fun while she can. Firemist grinned and flicked her gray-tipped tail into the snow. The powdery white substances scattered all over the two toms. Firemist let out a quiet chuckle. The two looked mighty silly covered in snow.

Muse;; It's all right...

Brokenpaw gave a polite nod to the approaching cat. He had never seen this cat around, but then again, he probably hadn't met a lot of cats in the camp.

"It's nothing much, I just went out because the pile looked a bit on the small side." He said, ducking his head slightly. It hadn't been much of a decision, he'd just sort of... done it.

"Hey!" He meowed, his black tail flicking in surprise as the snow flew at him. Then he laughed, shaking his head to rid it of snow. it didn't work very much, as the powder stuck to his fur and whiskers. He flicked a bit of the snow back at Firemist playfully, actually laughing for once.
