Oh gosh this is late psshshshshsh
Comments work perfectly for me! I'll start it off since I made you wait ;w;
The camp was still and quiet, a peaceful atmosphere of perfect relaxation. Lately the camp hadn't been like that, and of course it was only because Radishpaw was always around, bouncing about oblivious to the cold weather and moods. The apprentice had been sent out on patrol, leaving the camp in complete serenity, the silence only broken by he gentle gurgle of the frozen waterfall. It didn't last for log however. within moments a dark brown blur burst into the camp, dragging in cold on her long fur. She would have probably yowled her appearance had it not been for the medium-sized fish dangling from her maw. Quickly the apprentice tossed her fish on the freshkill pile and shook out her snow-covered fur, before grabbing a different piece of prey and dragging it over to where another apprentice sat. "Mind if I join you?"

nightpaw looked up to meet her gaze to that of radishpaw, giving a soft nod of reply. despite the cold she was in good spirits.
"sure! I could never say no to company!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishpaw smiled happily, raising her tail in joy. Yes! Finally she'd found her company for the day.
"Awesome!!!" Radishpaw purred, flicking her tail with excitement. Quickly she dropped the fish and settled down beside the patched apprentice. "How are you doing today?"

nightpaw grinned in reply as the brown apprentie sat beside her
''oh i'm just fine! cold but doing alright. you?''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(9Sorry for the late reply. I've been super busy and am only just getting to clearing my notifications))
Radishpaw floofed out her fur, thankful for her thick pelt as it left her oblivious to the cold that everyone else was obviously feeling. "I'm doing well" she mewed with a slight purr "I Just wish the good food would come back" She chuckled, tapping her small meal with a paw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
''more food would be great'' nightpaw replied. ''i'm just excited for warm weather mostly. more prey to bring back.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishpaw nodded, flicking her tail. "Speaking of more food..." She poofed out her fur, eager for something to do. "Would you like to go hunting? bring back some prey for the clan?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"i would love to im getting a lot better with my hunting as is!'' nightpaw replied. now she was excited to do a hunt with her clanmate. the older cat would probably be able to teach her a bit more if she watched close enough. ''hunting with someone else is much more fun than alone.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the brown apprentice nodded eagerly, bouncing to her paws, basically rocking with anticipation. "I absolutely agree! Hunting alone gets boring pretty fast. Let's go then, before it gets too cold" She smiled, bouncing towards the clan camp entrance before glancing back at the splotched she-cat. "You coming?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightpaw quickly raced after her denmate trying to not slip on snow. she gave a nod as she slid at her side nodding ''yup, lets go! where are we going to?''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishpaw slowed down slightly to join her clanmate, her ears perked. Honestly... she had no idea and for a moment she was at a standstill. After a moment of thinking she perked up again. "The twin falls!" the apprentice announced, turning in the correct direction once out of camp. "I'm sure we'll find something there"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightpaw nodded as she was pretty excited to go and hunt. she hadn't hunted at the twin falls yet and figured hunting with the older apprentice would help quite a bit.
''im sure with the weather getting warmer there will be lots of prey coming out everywhere''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She gave a long, relaxing sigh as they walked. the smell of fresh foliage was already beginning to return the territory took on a greener color.
"You've got that right!" She purred her agreement, her eyes sparkling at the thought. Everything was going to get better with the warmer weather.
"hey, I'll race ya to the twin falls!" She smirked before taking off towards the sound of the waterfalls.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightpaw gasped in mock her and raced after "no fair you got a head start" she yelled after doing her best to keep up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishpaw giggled, darting ahead till she was near the falls. Easily she heard them first, then they quickly came into sight. Panting,t he tired apprentice slid to a halt, turning to watch her incoming friend catch up. "Here we are!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightpaw stopped to look at the falls. her throat stung a bit but as she caught her breath and stopped the ache began to fade.
''i have never been near here. it looks awesome!''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Oh yes!" The brown apprentice nodded as as she trotted forward. A feeling of pride welled up in the she-cat as she realized that this was Nightpaw's first time. She would get to show her the falls! The fish like the current here. I think it's pretty cool"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
''it is misty,'' she mewed and waved a paw. the waterfalls were sending up mist and it would probably feel very nice during the warm seasons. ''i like it.''
she looked down to the water and radishpaw was right, there were a lot of fish. ''wanna have a race to see who can catch a fish first?''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishpaw sighed, breathing in the chilled fog that erupted from the falls. It was certainly nice. Suddenly her head snapped around. "A race?" A toothy smile spread across her maw. "You're on." Slowly she crawled to the water side. "Ready...Set go!" She quickly darted forward a moment before she'd actually said no.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightpaw laughed as she watched the brown apprentice jump head-first. races seemed to be something they both liked so that was cool. nightpaw ran to the edge of the water and crouched herself down. she still wasn't the best at swimming but her hunting was coming along great. so catching a fish seemed easy enough from her training. she did what she was taught and tried to keep her shadow off the surface of the water as she watched fish rippling near the water. at least there were fish here despite the waterfall. she thought if she were a fish the noise would probably scare her.
nightpaw shrugged and began to look for a fish and noticed a small brown one closest to her. she cupped her paw and was ready to catch once it crept a bit closer.

(Hey, would you actually like to start a new rp? Just since I've been so slow with this one, and the fact that they're both warriors, i'd love to rp em how they are now aaa))

sure miss that sounds like fun! they have both been warriors for a bit now so that would make sense.

Nice! I'll start it!!
Back at home at last! Despite the messiness that came with the camp and all the hard work that would have to go into fixing it, the camp finally felt as ease with their new home. Radishsprout sighed. It felt as if she could breath again. The tightness of her chest was lifted and her body felt freer than it had for many moons. Slowly she rose form her nest, her eyes gleaming in the darkness of night. Glancing around at her clanmates, she felt a thrill of affection. there was Jackdawrose, and Garfield, her brothers.." She sighed, slowly padding towards the entrance of the den and into the moonlit camp. everyone was safe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle was very happy to be back home after all it seemed they spent forever in the fake camp. she enjoyed it at first but now she is just glad to be back home. she espically enjoyed sleeping in her nest again as she had missed the watery smell of their caves. but nightthistle had noticed a cat in the entrance of the den when she could not sleep and she realized who it was. she went over to her trying to not wake anyone and sat. ''what are you looking at radishsprout you look like you are thinking.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The brown she-cat lifted a paw, preparing to leave the den knowing everyone was settled in, however the sound of paw steps and a whisper. In a combination of her shock and in an attempt be quiet, Radishsprout simply poofed up her fur before whipping her head around, her gaze instantly softening as she recognized the black and brown spotted pelt of her new company. "Nightthistle..." She whispered with a sigh, She returned her attention back to the silent camp, curling her tail neatly around her. "I was just going to go for a walk..." She glanced at her paws, lifting one up to inspect it as if mud from the forest was still wedged beneath her toes. "I'm just... Happy that everyones home and settled back in.."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle had to keep a laugh down when she saw radish's fur floof up. she knew her clanmate calmed when she saw her, so she did not feel bad for laughing at her small fright. she too was happy everyone was home and settled it but she already missed the foresty areas she had become so used to.
''a walk? i can not really sleep, would you mind if I joined you?'' nightthistle mewed. She said it quietly so she would not wake anyone up and hoped she was not too quiet that Radishsprout could not hear her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishsprout felt a surge of happiness pas through her as Nightthistle asked to come with. A walk in the cold, dead night by herself honestly didn't sound as fun to the brown warrior, though without Spicewish's presence and the everlasting gloom that seem to fill the cave, she felt rather claustrophobic.
With a small nod, Radishsprout led the she-cat out of the den and through the camp exit, stone slowly turning to grass as they emerged. "It sure is beautiful out now that its cooled down some" She purred calmly, closing her eyes and taking in a deep smell The scent of leaf decay and cold water instantly calmed her. "thank you for joining me." She finally mewed. "I mean... im sorry for waking you.. but thank you"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle nodded quickly as she followed. she was very happy to listen to radishsprout talk as they walked. she liked the colder weather better compared to the warm weather and she really really wanted to play in the snow again.
''no need to thank me or say sorry! i probably would have been up anyway. i am a bit restless lately so it is not your fault. i do not mind spending time with you!'' nightthistle said quickly and grinned at her friend. she felt bad that there was not much that she could do to make her feel better. ''you looked down so i am hoping this walk will help you clear your mind, or at least cheer you up.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The brown warrior glanced at her paws awkwardly. Did she really wear her expressions that openly on her face that her friend could tell exactly how she was feeling? She sighed. She'd have to work on that.
Inhaling a deep breath she lifted her gaze once again, flicking Nightthistle's side affectionately with her tail as they continued. "Well, I still appreciate it whether you'll let me thank you or not!" She snickered, her ears perking as she went on. "You said you've been restless lately? Anything on your mind that's been keeping you up?" It was now her turn to care for her friend.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle was just glad that radishsprout was not mad at her and she was very happy that her clanmate was okay with spending time with her. she was restless a lot because she had spent a lot of time away from harriernose and she missed them, and because of their temporary camp. but now they were home and she knew she could not tell radishsprout about her leafclan friend or she might get mad or sad. and she did not want her friend to think she was not loyal to seaclan even if she really did want to tell her and gush about her mate.
''it is a lot of work fixing up camp and the water washed away my nests. i had a lot of flowers and shells on it to make it pretty but now they are gone. so i have been collecting some more and it is just a lot of work. that and everyone is irritable with all the work so I am trying to not be loud to not annoy cats so i always have a lot of pent up energy.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishsprout stared at her friend for a moment. By the way she'd answered and looked, It was almost as if there was more than what the patched she-cat had said that contributed to how she was feeling. Sighing, the brown she-cat nodded, taking i her friend's answers. Everyone had their secrets, and she'd rather accept that than be nosy.
"You have a lot of flowers and shells in your nest?" She mewed, perked her ears. "that certainly would be such a waste gosh.. if you wanted we could go look for more now?" She flashed her friend a soft smile, happy to find something to get things off her mind. Nothing sounded better than Picking plants in one of the territory's many sweet flower fields.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nightthistle grinned happily and nodded. she was glad radishsprout did not push her and though she thought of her as a friend she needed to be truly sure before she could tell her of harriernose. that and she did not want to make her friend more sad and this time was for them not for others.
''I would love to get more flowers! shells will be easy cause those are everywhere but flowers are hard to get. especially thistles cause not many like them cause they poke. we could decorate your nest too if you would like?''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The way Nightthistle brightened up at the suggestion of renewing her previous nest decor only warmed Radishsprout. She felt a small smile curl on the corners of her mouth. Flicking her tail playfully against her friend's side, the brown she-cat bounded happily ahead. "I'll race ya then!" She purred over her shoulder, already strengthening her stride into a run as she headed straight for the beach of the island that they resided on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
when the other brown warrior ran off it caught nightthistle a bit by surprise but she was happy for a run because she had a lot of pent up energy. Quickly she raced after her friend as fast as she could. she was not sure how fast radishsprout was but she knew her own speed was not very strong. she did not run much but swam mostly like most seaclan cats. it did feel nice to run and the cooler air was a good break from green leafs warm weather. it reminded her a lot of the mist the waterfall by camp felt like and that made her happy.
nightthistle skidded to a stop when she reached the beach and it kicked up a bit of sand but she did not mind as it fell back down pretty quickly. she looked around as she caught her breath looking to see where radishsprout had gone as she had not paid attention when they were running.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The dark brown warrior felt a thrill of satisfaction as she easily pulled ahead. While she wasn't the fastest runner, having surprised Nightthistle she had no problem beating farther and farther ahead while her friend tried to catch up. This was the first time she'd felt so carefree for a long time. The wind in her fur, the stretching of her muscles, the fresh scent of leaf-bare on the breeze. There wa snot a single thing that could ruin it.
Noticing that she'd lost NIghtthisle, Radishsprout purred with amusement, swerving off to the side and hiding behind a large rock. Heavy paws thrummed closer and closer till radishsprout saw Nightthistle run right past her, not noticing her hiding. That is when Radish sprange into action, running as silently as she could behind her friend till she'd noticed nightthistle stopping on a beach. This was it. lowering herself into a crouch The dark warrior slwoly crept up closer.. and closer.. then with a squeal of kit-like delight she sprang forward, feeling her paws lock with the surprised warrior as she'd pounced on Night.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle was surprised at first thinking maybe she was being attacked but then she realize she could scent her clanmate. radishsprout was bigger than her though and she fell to the sand. it did not hurt though thanks to the sand softening her impact. the brown and black warrior turned to gently kick off her friend. enough to push her to the sand but hopefully not enough to hurt her. she swatted at radishsprouts ears pretending she was angry but she wasnt.
''i had really hoped i was in front of you but you got me pretty good! i was not expecting you there!'' she purred. ''i will get you back one day though''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishsprout didn't stay on her friend too long. with a shove she was easily pushed off, tumblinng into the sand beside where Nightthistle had fallen. With an entertained purr, she blocked her face as her large ears were bombarded with soft paws before lifting her head. The brown she-cat's brown pelt was now dappled with a sandy smear, somethat that would take forever to groomed out of her thick pelt. Though she didn't care.
"You've gotta catch me first if you're planning on getting me back!" She mewed playfully, giving Night one more friendly cuff over the ear. With a sigh of relief, Radishsprout finally noticed how relax she'd felt. Her locked, ithgt muscles had been loosened by the run and her friend's good nature distracted her from her grief. Turning her gaze she glanced at the kit sea rippling in the gentle moonlight that glowed from above. "It sure is beautiful out tonight" She purrd sofltly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle followed radishsprouts gaze to the sea. it was very pretty and epically at night. although she preferred daytime because it was warm she did like the night time and had begun to like it more as she was up most nights.
''it is very pretty. it will be really pretty when it gets snowy. i like looking at the snow in the moonlight. it has its own kind of sparkle.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishsprout couldn't help but give a content purr of agreement. Despite the lack of herbs and scarce food as well as the general struggle the clan went with when it came to the colder seasons, it was true. The frost and snow made the world seem entirely different, sparkling with even the littlest bit of light. "My mother told me that the older territory barely ever got any snow if even" She chuckled, giving her tail a small flick. She wished she'd gotten to see their old home, however she'd been born on the great journey. "How weird would that be? having it never snow?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle flicked her ears softly. her and her parents were very close mostly because she was their only kit but they had never really told her anything about the old territories.
''i would be sad not having the snow around. i do not like when cats get sick because of the cold. but i still really like the snow. i could not imagine a world without it. it must have been nice though having less struggle in the colder seasons. i bet more prey was out in the other clans since some did not have to hide from the snow.''
nightthistle stayed laying down where she was but began to dig in the snow pulling out any shells she could find around her. she pulled out a few shells but not a lot because she was not moving around, but she really liked them as she passed some over for radishsprout to look at.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishsprout nodded her agreement. She recalled rushingflame's death after he'd caught greencough and felt a shutter run down her spine. She'd never let anything like that happen to anyone she loved... If she could fight any illness like a foe she most definitely would
Slowly she shuffled to where Nightthistle began digging in the snow, dragging out various shells, sliding them over for her to also get a good look. She perked her ears as she spotted a more brown one. It reminded her greatly of her sister Shellpaw both in coloration and in what it was. her dear littermate had gone missing long ago and while she tried to remain storng, it was hard not to miss her. "I like this one..." She purred, tucking it closer, reminding herself to bring it home. Gradually she began to dig alongside her friend, eyes scanning for various shells.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle worried that she made radishsprout sad with the way she looked at the shell. she did not really understand why, but she did not want to make her feel any worse. she figured it was okay when she kept it and nightthistle did her best to pass over any that looked the same her way so she could have her pick of any of the brown ones. nightthistle went for more of the colorful ones and kept the ones that had more reddish colors, or spots. she really liked the spotty ones.
''you know it is okay to be sad. i may always seem happy but sometimes things make me sad too, and it is okay to let it out.'' nightthistle said. she was not sure what to say to make her friend feel better, but she wanted her to know it was okay if she wanted to be sad. ''you do not have to be strong all the time. and i wont judge you if you ever want to talk about it.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For a moment Radishsprout just huddled all the brown shells Nightthistle passed her way beneath her, keeping her amber eyes glued to the snow underpaw. She had tried so hard not to brush her feelings onto others, yet they'd still been caught up on it. She knew what grief could do. It deprived a cat of what they needed. It managed to control them and keep them from eating and taking care of them-self. She remembered the pathetic state of Jackdawpaw, now Jackdawrose, when she saw what was happening.
"It's hard..." She finally mewed before lifting her gaze to look at her friend. Carefully she moved her tail to comfortingly brush it over Nightthistle'd side, relishing in the warmth. "I miss so many cat that have left.. Spicewish... Shrimpcloud..." Her paw brushed over another brown shell the patched warrior had given her. "My sister Shellpaw. I Just don't want to worry others by forcing my sadness onto them."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nightthistle stopped pulling out shells to listen. she did not want to seem rude or look like she was not paying attention when she was really glad her friend decided to open up to her. she was not really close to any of the cats Radishsprout mentioned. but she knew of Spicewish and Shrimpcloud. The clan had been really sad when Shrimpcloud passed because she was a very well respected warrior. but nightthistle did not have any littermates, so she did not relate to losing a sister.
''i think it is okay to make others worry about you because if they are friends it means they care. And if they ask then you aren't forcing anything on them. I asked you and i do not think you are forcing anything on me. i asked because i care about your well being and i worry about you. i think it will take time to get over the sadness and it might always be there but you are strong. i think over time you will be okay. you have good friends and a big family to take care of you, so you will never be alone. Okay?''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Admittedly Nightthistle's kind words and care overwhelmed the brown warrior, leaving her speechless. Her feeling of being a burden both lifted in a way and pressed down on her. Her friend was right... the more she kept it in and let it boil over inside of her, the worse she was going to feel. There were cats around her suffering because she pushed them away, letting them do nothing but watch. how would she feel if one of her friends or family was suffering and wouldn't let her help her?
Slowly Radishsprout shifted in the snow, ignoring the snow that clumped in her thick fur and dragged at her as she slid towards her friend till their pelts touched. "Thank you.." her voice was barely a whisper, A cloud of hot air that puffed out and disappeared into the cold never to be seen again. the heat that rushed from her friend's fur was welcoming and nice, and for once she finally felt compelled to rely on her friend. She wasn't alone. Her eyes burned as tears formed in the corner of her eyes. "Thank you so much... I understand.."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nightthistle was very happy that radishsprout had taken her words to heart. she knew if she were sad and she went to her parents they would help her and would not like her to be sad. so she knew radishsprout's family would want to see their daughter rely on them as well. she just hoped over time that her friend would feel a bit better.
''there is no need to thank me. I will always be around if you need me. i am just glad that you are feeling better.'' Nightthistle pulled over all the shells she had decided to keep and bring back to her nest. ''i think i like these ones.''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Radishsprout felt a new surge of energy at her friend's comfort. Knowing that she had others had her back helped put a little more pep in her step. When Nightthistle began to gather her shells radishsprout glanced at her own. Despite the amount of colorful, bright ones that she'd been passed, she seemed to only draw out the darker ones or the browner ones that reminded her of her family. gently she drew hem closer, giving each an affectionate poke with her nose. "I like these ones." She purred calmly, rubbing her collection with a paw. Shed cherish them. Despite Nightthistle saying that there was no need for thanks, the brown warrior couldn't help but still mumble another "Thank you"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nightthistle was very happy that Radishsprout seemed happier. she knew it would take a while for her to feel fully better but she just wanted her to feel better even just a little bit. collecting her favorite of the shells because she would not be able to carry them all back she nodded. using her nose she booped Radishsprouts head for comfort before she stood.
''should we bring these back? our nests will look very nice after this.''
