sulking in the caves//open

[♫ [.nighty.]]

Dewpaw pressed against the hard, cold walls of Korkea Maa, her eyes pure slits as they shone a eerie green ight on the walls.

I'm too young to have a mate.

She told herself pointedly. Adding to herself, fuming, Dewpaw thrashed her tail.

But I'll be a warrior soon... if only Cinnamonstreak would train with me!

Staring hopelessly from her paw to the bare walls, it seemed to uninviting.

Why did I run all the way here anyway? Thinking about Blueshade... then Flickerheart... then the Warrior Code, Dewpaw thought her heart had been ripped apart.

"Dewpaw!" a voice interrupted. Dewpaw recongized Dawndew--again. Deciding not to answer, she was shocked when she saw Dawndew's starry pelt--pressing against the cold walls on Korkea Maa hersef! Whirling away from the former EmberClan warrior, Dewpaw whipped her tail, hard, on the stone floor.

"I'm sorry.... StarClan... for betraying you and the Warrior Code." Dewpaw's voice was ragged as she spoke.

[Cinder]

Frostflash was wandering aimlessly throught the tunnels of Korkea Maa, wondering if she might find any mice. Or bats. They look sort of like mice... I wonder if they taste the same?
Her ears pricked forwards as she heard a noise from up ahead. Is that a cat? Her suspicions increased as she caught a whiff of EmberClan scent.
The deputy increased her pace slightly, paws pattering like raindrops on the stone tunnels. Her eyes widened as she saw Dewpaw slumped against the wall. Is she okay?
"Dewpaw?" Frostflash meowed hesitantly.

ooc- And if there was one cat Dewpaw didn't want to see, it would be Frostflash. *grins evilly*

[♫ [.nighty.]]

ooc- ^^ <---- boy Dewpaws gonna be mad.

~IC~----> Dewpaw's ears twitched.

GREATSTARCLANGREATSTARCLANGREATSTARCLANGREATSTARCLANGREATSTARCLANGREATSTARCLAN... Frostflash???

Dewpaw snarled faintly at her deputy.

"Frostflash," acknowledged Dewpaw coolly. The apprentice's mind raged.

[Cinder]

Frostflash's eyes narrowed slightly at the apprentice's cool tone. She knew that she probably shouldn't have talked to the apprentice, but still... there was no need for Dewpaw to snarl like that.
"Are you okay?" she asked hesitantly, studying the apprentice. Her violet eyes were worried.

[♫ [.nighty.]]

Dewpaw nodded quickly.
"Fine, thank you." she meowed quietly.

Don't overreact!

Her dapple ginger fur began bristling. Dewpaw blinked, trying to calm down.


OOC: Short. Ack. And sorries for the wait.

[Cinder]

ooc- That's okay.

Frostflash blinked, noticing Dewpaw's bristling fur. How stupid do you think I am? Her eyes narrowed slightly, but she gave no other sign of irritation.
"Are you sure?" she asked softly. 'You've seemed kind of sad lately..." She trailed off awkwardly, unsure what to say. I'm no good at being understanding. Dewpaw needs Heathersky, not me.

[♫ [.nighty.]]

*Whistles innocently into the thread*

_{Dewpaw felt slightly sick.
"I'm fine." blinking blurry eyes, Dewpaw wanted to find herself awake in Heathersky's cave... eating honey swathed herbs...}[/color]

[Cinder]

"I'm fine..."

Frostflash wasn't about to accuse Dewpaw of lying, but the apprentice definitely did not look fine. She looks ill, in fact.
The grey she-cat shuffled her paws on the cave floor, not knowing what to do. I guess she doesn't want to talk to me... But she's acting really weird... Should I talk to Heathersky?
She considered the apprentice again, noting how tired she looked. Oh, great StarClan. What should I do?

[minttail]

A fellow apprentice appeared cautiously, "She's fine Frostflash...I'll talk to her, does that worry you anymore than it would StarClan?!" Sealpaw's joke didn't quite refer to his rebelliousness; but more likely to his dim-wittedness...he padded over to Dewpaw and waited for the she-cat to leave.

[Cinder]

Frostflash narrowed her eyes as Sealpaw stalked over to Dewpaw. What did he mean? She wasn't quite sure, but she did know one thing: she didn't like this apprentice's attitude.
"Are you sure you're okay?" she asked, ignoring Sealpaw for the moment. She rested the tip of her ash-grey tail on the young apprentice's shoulder. "Would you like to talk to Heathersky of Cinnamonstreak at all?" She hoped that the medicine cat and the warrior might have more of an understanding of what was troubling the usually perky apprentice.

[♫ [.nighty.]]

_{Oh, god, anyone but my mentor!
Dewpaw though Cinnamonstreak was such a easily-angered tomcat. Heathersky was fine with Dewpaw, but hello? Cinnamonstreak?
Dewpaw would rather have that Sealpaw whack her-wait- when did Sealpaw get here? Oh, well. Dewpaw would much rather have Sealpaw whack her in the face with a blue squirrel. Grr. Oh, double grr.
"Anyway..." she began, confused all of a sudden. Her mind was spinning. "Err, it's newleaf, so, um. I'm not supposed.... to be sick?" suggested the ginger apprentice, shrugging to herself.
Okay. Swwweet.
Dewpaw studied her ginger paws wearily.}[/color]

[Cinder]

"Err, it's newleaf, so, um. I'm not supposed.... to be sick?"

This was getting stranger and stranger. Frostflash tilted her head to one side, studying the young apprentice intently. Well, she isn't sick, but I still think there's something...
The grey tabby shook her head, sighing almost inaudibly. She was no good at this psychology stuff. What should I do???
Angry at herself for being so indecisive, she scraped her claws against the rough stone of the cave floor. Think, mousebrain! she told herself sternly. You're a Clan deputy. You're not supposed to be acting like a confused kit!
