Crack! With a wince of pain, the elder stretched and every bone in her body popped. She let out a slight groan of pain and then flicked her ear. Her once pure black body now showing signs of gray in her old age. Though she was still was kicking it wasn't with the same oomph as moons ago. The she-cats lime green eyes opened wide as the sun seeped in the elders den. A brisk breeze brushed her and she shook her fur out before exiting into the world. She hadn't had many cats coming to see her, it seems most thought this elder had passed. Though it did sting no one came to look.
Yes, this was the famous Leopardripple that stood outside the elders den, a skinny bag of fur. The cat who at one point would run the whole camp several times and now can barely make a lap without needing a nap. This is the famous cat who was known for hating rabbits, the one who thought they were going to take over the world. Yes.. This was Leopardripple. Its been a long time sense she stepped foot outside her den, and even longer sense she had seen another cat. She was almost certain all her friends were gone now, or if they were still around they didn't want to be seen with her anymore. Heck, she didn't want to be seen with her self.
"What have I let happen to me?!" she muttered her voice clearly filled with disappointment. She sighed and looked up to see the fresh kill pile, fairly stocked and everything seemed in order. To think, it was moons ago Darkstar finally stepped down from her post and became a elder.. to think, the one cat she never thought would give up finally let old age catch up with her. She hasn't even met the new leader of her clan, Oceanstar was it? There seemed to be a lot of new, young cats running around..
It was time she got out and stopped being so anti-social. So with a deep breathe she closed her eyes, and then she smiled. "Lets show them how a true elder lives" she meowed as she looked for a cat to converse with.

Amberflash was no longer the amongst the youngest of the clan. She was reasonably sure of those bearing the warrior rank, her grandchildren and their generation claimed that title. She still wasn't quite old yet, though. She'd vehemently deny any attempts to convince her that she was old, or anywhere close to retirement. Even as age shadowed over her slowly but surely... She was still well enough to run around a bit and catch enough prey so she might feel of true use to the clan. It was funny... Despite being an adult it was funny how little she felt... Like how she'd imagined as a kit. Even if as a kit she'd been rather er... Arrogant and looked down on pretty much everyone around her.
She wondered if all adults felt as lost as she did sometimes. Then again, she was going through a rough patch, feeling more lost than normal. She didn't have much of anyone to talk to. Everyone seemed to be gone or dead... Her mother Rainlight had recently passed and well... It wasn't a very good feeling at all to lose that one cat who'd she... She remembered many chats with her mother, clamoring for reassurance in her turbulent life.... Now that was gone. Her mother was with Cloudclan... And well... Cloudclan didn't often deign to speak with the living except when it was important, right? Her mother was out of reach until Amberflash climbed into a grave of her own.
She was gently nudged out of her thoughts by the mutterings of a cranky elder she didn't recall ever having met before. Her affairs were frequently associated with the youth of the clan, and as such... She'd never really had any sort of connection to the oldest of Fireclan. She didn't even know the name of the elder before her.
Despite her apparent growth... She was feeling a little cranky right now. "Can I help with you something?" Came the irritable response, aimed at the elder staring at her.

Within no time, Leopardripple was met with a snappy tone of a what looked to be smaller warrior maybe of the senior age. She narrowed her eyes in an attempt to tell if she had met this cat before, her sight was not the kindest to her and though her ears could hear still really well and the tone of this cat was hot with anger. She had made sure not to bump into anyone. She has been around long enough to know that Fireclan was filled with rather.. grumpy cats. Shaking it off she went back to focusing on the cat ahead of her. Who was staring at her with a soulless look. Shudders were sent down her spine. But she wasn't scared. No. Leo never got scared.
Wait.. Those cold eyes, that scent.. "Amberpaw?" the elder whispered out in shock. "Yo-You've grown.. have I really been gone that long?" she was completely ignoring the senior warriors question. That was Leo for you though. The she-cat never did answer questions. Not even to the closest of her friends.

Amberflash decided this elder was possibly senile. She'd never met this elder before in her life. She supposed she could come up with a list of cats she probably met and had never seen again since her apprenticeship... But really, only Ashmist came to mind. She coughed. ".... Er, yeah. I'm Amberflash now." She decided to just roll with it. She wasn't quite as rude as she used to be, and figured calling an elder senile to their face was of bad taste. She cleared her throat. "So... Again... Is there something you need...?" She had a sinking feeling it was going to end up being a long, long chat.... That was probably 90% Amberflash's effort and 10% mysterious elder's weird ramblings.

Once the elders eyes opened a bit better she saw it wasn't the same Amberpaw she remembered.. Frowning she shook her head "Theres clear confusion in your voice, your not the same Amberpaw I remember. Though it is nice to meet you." The elder meowed putting a smile on her face. She was stupid to think it was her former friend. Just like Wolfpaw, she was long gone. Shaking her head she flicked her ears.
"Uh.. No I suppose not, however if your up to making a elders day.. Id love to go and hunt again. Would you mind taking me out?" She asked.

Amberflash cleared her throat. ".... Yeah. I'm someone... New." She'd never known of anyone else with her prefix, aside from her granddaughter Amberpaw. As this elder was rather old.... She imagined it was an older cat with the name who'd possibly died or gone missing. As for the elder's request..... Ugh.
She probably should go along with it, even if it wasn't exactly her idea of a grand ol' time. She wasn't even sure if this elder was still capable of hunting properly. Then again, the white-furred warrior didn't spend too much time around elders, so she had no idea how much of their capability would be lost to old age. "Can I get your name first?"
