PrideClan - A Clan of Brave and Strong cats

(you can always add one later. no worries)

(I'm dying, Scoob. Also, Dapplestorm is Dense™.)

Dapplestorm blinked at Pidgeonwing, a bit perplexed by his apparent distress. Something clearly wasn't right here. He'd been told before that he was intimidating, that other cats felt uncomfortable and on edge around him, and he supposed that was probably it. It made sense; the medicine cats must have ordered Pidgeonwing to take him, and Pidgeonwing clearly would prefer to be around a kinder cat. He could imagine Leafsplash now. Take my brother! He needs to stop spending so much time alone.

"I didn't realized we were short on water," Dapplestorm replied, concern deepening. He tried to remember the last time that it had rained, but he'd never paid much attention to the weather unless it was inconveniencing him in the moment - he could still hunt in a warm spring rain, as long as it wasn't too heavy for any prey to be about - and he'd certainly never thought to keep track of how long it'd been since any precipitation had arrived. "Alright. We should get going, then."

(if anything i'll rp my new cat with you pat)

{{that'd be chill Ginz ! & i haven't made a post besides the joining form because I had to play in band so yknow my cat could be doing literally anything lol. it might be better to wait until tomorrow to start RPing tho, i have to sleep semi-soon bc Big Test tomorrow}}

(yeah thats fair)

(1.) My problematic Pidgeon son.

2.) Honestly? Just drag him around by the scruff. Just go for it. Drag him metaphorically and literally.)

Dapplestorm blinked for a moment, overwhelmed by Pidgeonwing's enthusiasm, before setting after him in a brisk trot. Within moments, he was caught up enough to walk beside him, and he forced himself to slow his movements down so he didn't accidentally overtake him. It was, after all, Pidgeonwing's mission, not his.

After a moment of walking beside his clanmate in silence, Dapplestorm remembered that it was considered rude to spend time with other cats in complete silence. If this had been a hunting patrol, he would have brushed the thought aside and continued to move in silence, careful not to spook his prey, but this was a different kind of excursion, and Dapplestorm didn't want to make Pidgeonwing any more uncomfortable than he already was. He coughed a bit awkwardly and said, "I suppose we should bring water to the elders and the queens first. Uh. Because it would be hardest for them to make it to the stream."

So much for an engaging conversation.

(I'm laughing so hard omg)

Pidgeonwing nodded slightly. He was walking shoulder to shoulder with the biggest crush he'd ever had on any cat in this entire Clan so really his thoughts were a million miles away. In fact, he'd almost completely forgotten that he had said they were going to get water. Trying to be smooth and sound like he knew what he was talking about, he replied, "Yes. They always get water first. Since they really can't leave camp!"

He reflected inwardly on that statement. That sounded really, really dumb, didn't it? He wished he knew more about how Clan life actually worked. Duskstar had said he was a little too old to be an apprentice and so he had gotten a pretty basic crash course on the warrior life and was still technically training to be a full warrior. But that sounded right in his mind.

"And we carry it back in moss, right? Should we find some on the way?"

(liking the same gender you are in a romantic way)

to be romantically attracted to the same gender !

Interesting thank you)

Leafsplash knew a thing or two about dwelling in the past. It wasn't a problem that she knew how to solve, either; whether she liked it or not, her past had shaped her, molding her into the she-cat she was today. She wanted to believe that it had made her kinder, more determined than ever to save lives on the darkest days of her job, but she knew what the other side of that looked like, too: sleepless nights, an ever-pounding heart, the inability to step alone into the woods that surrounded the place she called home.

She turned her attention instead to his mention of his brother, a much safer topic. "I'm glad your brother was there for you," she meowed. "I don't know what I would do without mine. We might bicker sometimes, but he's always had my back."

At the commotion near the medicine cat den, she turned, whiskers twitching in amusement at her clanmate's antics. "Go easy on her, Fishspot," she called, grinning ear-to-ear. "You never know when one of those caterpillars is going to get you!"

Jaypaw wandered out of the apprentices' den, feeling a little anxious since she overslept. She hoped her mentor wouldn't be mad at her.

(...who's her mentor anyway)

(oh well lmao)

Here!)
