(Frostflash! Oh Frrrrrrrrrostflassssssshhhhhh! you're needed! hehe)
Cinnamonstreak felt like he was walking on air the whole way back to camp. Periodically he'd look over at Sablespirit as if to assure himself she was really there. Part of him kept thinking he was dreaming. Had she really agreed to become his mate? In one sense, it was like it was happening so fast, then on the other hand it was like the walk back to camp was taking an eternity, but it was an eternity Cinnamonstreak wasn't sure he wanted to end. Finally, the camp entrance was ahead.
Here it was. The final test. He had to ask if Sablespirit could join the clan. Part of him wished he'd had a chance to pull Heathersky aside earlier and tell her, but then he hadn't known 5 hours ago that he'd be returning to camp with the love of his life as his mate. Slightly nervous, he calmed his nerves by reminding himself that at least most of the clan knew who Sablespirit, formerly Suketsu, was since he'd had her as "prisoner" for the time they were stuck at Korkea Maa during the flood. Taking a deep breath, he pushed through the leafy overhang and stepped into the camp.
Looking back, he smiled reassuringly at Sablespirit and urged her on with his tail. Looking around camp, he didn't see Blazestar, but he knew Frostflash and Heathersky were around. Or at least they had been when he'd left... Peering around, Cinnamonstreak felt slightly self-conscious and hoped both were still in camp. A few moments later he spotted Heathersky and motioned for her to come over and hoped she knew were Frostflash was.

Sablespirit padded along quietly, her head a buzz with thoughts. The only figure she could see was her mate's, Cinnamonstreak. A memory flashed past in her head. She saw Cinnamonstreak when they first met, and a battle commenced. Then she saw Cinnamon again, but it was at Korkea Maa.
Sablespirit smiled to herself. Those would be memories she would never forget. She shook herself, and focused on the task ahead: getting Emberclan to accept her as a fellow Emberclan warrior. She paused, her heart beating with dread. What if they don't accept her? Would they drive her away? When she stopped, Cinnamon urged her forward with a reassuring tail, and she swept the worries away. As long as Cinnamon was by her side, she was fine.
Sablespirit entered the camp behind CInnamon, and immediatly felt many hostile eyes turned towards her. She shifted her paws around uncomfortably, adn waited for something to happen.

Frostflash had been about to find a nice mouse when Cinnamonstreak walked into the camp. She nodded hello to him politely, then did a double-take. There was a strange cat standing next to him. But the cat wasn't a total stranger, she realized. Wasn't that the prisoner he took care of, at Korkea Maa? Now she was curious. Casting a sorrowful glance back at the fresh-kill pile, the deputy strolled over to the pair. "Hello, Cinnamonstreak. Who's your friend?" Hoping that she hadn't sounded impolite, Frostflash nodded a greeting to Sablespirit. "What brings you to EmberClan?"

Dewpaw had been acting like a kit, chasing her tail. Wow, I could go on like this for hours... The Apprentice thought. Stopping as a newcomer padded in alongside her mentor, curious, Dewpaw raced over. Frostflash was already there too.
"Hi!" She meowed politely to Saplespirit. Did I see this cat at Korkea Maa? Wondered the dappled ginger feline. A more clan like drawl overcame her as more words erupted out of her maw. "I'm Dewpaw! What brings you here?" she added what Frostflash said, it sounded like a lousy repeat. Blushing, the young Apprentice straightened. I didn't embarrass myself, did I

(Cinny and Dewpaw need a training thread. muwhahaha... I mean, ) Cinnamonstreak was so focused on Heathersky that he didn't see Frostflash approach. Smiling a tad nervously, Cinnamonstreak nodded at her greeting and worked on what to say as she greeted Sablespirit. Cinnamonstreak decided to skitter around announcing they were mates right off the bat just in case Frostflash took that the wrong way. He'd tell her after Sablespirit got accepted, assuming that went smoothly.
Dewpaw, his apprentice raced over and eagerly greeted Sablespirit as well and Cinnamonstreak eyed her thoughtfully. Dewpaw was full of energy. Maybe after this he'd yank her aside and put her through her paces. He'd been a little soft on her lately by slacking off on training her. Mentally scolding himself, he told himself he'd push her some and see how she took it. At least Dewpaw was a tough little thing and didn't seem to let things get her down.
Looking over at Frostflash, Cinnamonstreak started the introductions. "Frostflash, I'd like you to meet Sablespirit, formerly known as Suketsu. She was my prisoner while at Korkea Maa and after... some talking... she's decided she'd like to join EmberClan. That's why she's going by Sablespirit now..." Cinnamonstreak added, his nervousness evident as he said that. Clearing his throat selfconsciously, he made himself sit and act casual while waiting to see what Frostflash would say or do.

Frostflash narrowed her eyes, staring at Cinnamonstreak and Sablespirit. "Um..." She honestly did not know what to say. She wants to join EmberClan? Even thought she was our prisoner? It was odd, but the deputy had seen odder things. Her violet eyes flickered over the grey-pelted form of the rogue, noticing her long claws. Hmm... She looks like she'd be a good fighter... And we do need warriors... "So, um, why exactly do you want to join EmberClan?" Frostflash asked, stalling. She was pretty sure that Sablespirit would be a fine member of EmberClan, but it was a little weird that she wanted to join the clan that had imprisoned her. Are you hiding something, Cinnamonstreak?

Sablespirit, forgetting that she was supposed to act as a kind, loyal clan cat, and reverted back to her rogueish ways. “Why do—” Quickly catching herself spitting those words at the apprentice, she covered her mouth with her tail, and said no more. It would be best to let Cinnamon deal with this, She thought, slapping herself in her head for the outburst. I HAVE to be accepted. If I don’t, I… She dropped the thought, not daring to think what would happen if she didn’t. Get accepted, that was.
”So, um, why exactly do you want to join Emberclan?”
Sablespirit stiffened as the question was asked. What do I say? She thought fantically. Cinnamon probably didn’t announce that they were mates right off the bat, in case it… frightened the deputy? She didn’t know what was going on it Cinnamon’s mind, but thought it would be similar to her thoughts. When Cinnamon didn’t say anything, she nudged him gently with her shoulder, urging him to say something, cause frankly, her mind was a big, fat blank.

ooc- *pokes Kiri* A suspicious voice began to mutter in Frostflash's mind as she saw Sablespirit stiffen. The newcomer nudged Cinnamonstreak, and Frostflash turned to stare at him. Cinnamonstreak... Glancing away from the warrior for a second, she flashed a small smile to Sablespirit. "It's not like I'll throw you out if you have a weird answer. I was just curious, that's all."ooc 2- Sorry it's short.

((I'm sorry, I totally missed this, and then I accidentally deleted the post and had to type it all over again. DDDD:))
Heathersky was seated in front of her den, grooming out her fur. She had been on a walk earlier when she had spotted some horsetail, and in her haste to collect it, she had passed right through a sticker bush. In addition to that, she had padded right through some mud, and the brown liquid had settled in the white fur of her toes. Rasping her tongue over her toes to remove the mud, she thought, I'm not so vain, but this will stain if I leave it. Feeling like a mess, she continued to groom herself, without putting away the horsetail.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Cinnamonstreak entering the camp, and it looked like there was someone behind him. Switching her tail in greeting, she picked up the horsetail and padded into the den. Dewpaw and Frostflash were engaging in discussion with the two, but nonetheless, she hastened to put the herbs away. I wonder who was with him, the medicine cat thought, and trotted back out of the den. She approached coolly, catching a little of Frostflash's sentence.
"...why exactly do you want to join EmberClan?" That definitely piqued her curiosity, and it only took her a couple of seconds to realize that the she-cat standing next to Cinnamonstreak was certainly familiar. Dipping her head in greeting to the little assembly, she fixed her gray eyes on Sablespirit, recalling exactly when she had seen the rogue. "Well, glad to see you're still well," Heathersky remarked quietly to her. Looking to Cinnamonstreak, she paused for a few seconds.
"It's not like I'll throw you out if you have a weird answer. I was just curious, that's all."
"Perhaps she's gained some liking for EmberClan over the time that she's spent with us," Heathersky said, fixing a knowing look on Cinnamonstreak. A glint of humor was in her voice, and she nodded a little. "I personally see no problem with her staying. However, the final verdict is up to Frostflash." She twitched her whiskers, smiling a little at the thought of the rogue joining the Clan.

"Hello there." Deathclaw said as he popped out of nowhere behind Sablespirit. 'Oooooh woops I hope I didn't make a bad impression by doing that.' he thought despairingly. 'It's only my sense of humor.' " I'm Deathclaw, and about that just now I'm sorry I just........well...... that was-." Deathclaw started but couldn't finish because he thought he was now hated by yet another cat and on first meet too. 'Darn, me and my humor probably cost me a new friend.' he cursed under his breath.

(ack I'm so sorry. I forgot about this thread as my muse had jumped ship, but I managed to track it down and take it prisoner hehe)
Cinnamonstreak's heartbeat seemed awfully loud in the few seconds of awkward silence as Frostflash looked Sablespirit over. She seemed to find it strange Sablespirit wanted to join and Cinnamonstreak nearly groaned to himself at realizing how odd it looked for a former prisoner to want to join her captors.
"So, um, why exactly do you want to join EmberClan?" Finally, Frostflash broke the silence by asking her why she wanted to join EmberClan. Hoping Sablespirit would come up with something good, Cinny kept quiet and watched Heathersky approach. He felt Sablespirit nudge him and resisted the urge to wipe off his sweaty paws. Instead he kept them rooted on the ground so it wasn't obvious he was nervous. After a few more seconds of silence while Cinnamonstreak watched Heathersky stop next to Frostflash, the deputy spoke again.
"It's not like I'll throw you out if you have a weird answer. I was just curious, that's all."
Cinnamonstreak was relieved Frostflash was clueless as to their true feelings for each other, but one look at Heathersky's eyes and Cinny KNEW she knew what was going on. He really should have known better. Of all the cat's in the clan, no one knew of his feelings about Suketsu, now Sablespirit, except Heathersky. He was extremely glad she didn't blow their cover, but was squirming inwardly nonetheless from her pointed look.
"Perhaps she's gained some liking for EmberClan over the time that she's spent with us, I personally see no problem with her staying. However, the final verdict is up to Frostflash."
Cinnamonstreak plastered a smile on his face to hide his nerves and nodded. "Of course. That's it. She, Sablespirit here, she found she likes clan life and wants to give up her, uh, misguided ways... being a rogue that is." Cinnamonstreak said as Deathclaw came up and said hi. Cinny was too busy focusing on how to reply to Frostflash to do anything more than nod.

Frostflash nodded respectfully to Heathersky as the medicine cat walked over to join them. She tipped her head to one side in curiosity as Heathersky spoke, wondering what she could be talking about.
"Of course. That's it. She, Sablespirit here, she found she likes clan life and wants to give up her, uh, misguided ways... being a rogue that is."
The deputy nodded slowly as Cinnamonstreak explained. Well, there's nothing wrong with that, i guess. Who wouldn't prefer Clan life to being a rogue? Her violet eyes sparkled as she glanced over at Sablespirit. Even though she barely knew her, the deputy couldn't help liking the former rogue. "All right, then," Frostflash meowed, flicking her tail nonchalantly. "Welcome to EmberClan." As she spoke, she couldn't help feeling a prickle of doubt. She glanced over her shoulder quickly, but there was no sign of the cat she was looking for. The doubt began to increase. Shouldn't I have asked Blazestar first? It should be her decision...

"Y-Y-Yaeh welcome t-to Emberclan." Deathclaw said. 'Stupid, stop stuttering and get over it.' he thought. Then he walked off to just go brew over things and think about stuff. "Why must I aleays make a bad impression, I already know she's(?) gonna hate me." he muttered. 'Well sooner or later I'll try to make friends with her again.' he thought.

Sablespirit jumped as a cat jumped out from nowhere. She vaguely thought she remembered the stuttering warrior from somewhere. "He-hello..." She said, a bit surprised. Then she turned back to Cinnamon when he spoke.
Sablespirit scowled. Her "misguided ways," eh? The rogue seriously felt the need for some violence, but the need dissapeared when Frostflash said the magic words:
"All right, then, welcome to EmberClan."
The former rogue was mentally doing the cha-cha dance in her head, and just sat there for a moment. Then remembering her manners, she dipped head to the deputy who allowed admission into the clan where her mate was. "Thank you. I won't dissapoint you."

"Yaay you're an Emberclan cat now!!" Deathclaw said unexpectedly. "But seriously plz tell me I didn't scare you too bad did I ?" He then thought it over and if she said no he'd stop worrying so much. He then just stood there waiting for Sablespirit to answer his question.
