Cleaning the elders' den (Soft, Lark)

[Larksong]

Larkpaw nodded, agreeing full heartedly. I'm a romantic...not that I'd brag about it. She thought to herself.

Rainfeather:
The silver tabby pondered for a moment. "A long while ago, before any of you younsters were born, are leader was Spiritstar. I came to treeclan as a kit, having run from my family who were...well, worse than Deathclan. The first friends I had in Treeclan was Solarshine, although his name was Solarpaw then. I didn't know what he had been doing all those nights. I tried to ask him about it, but he always brushed it out...I always had a feeling though, but I was too scared to voice these fears. Solarpaw was breaking the warrrior code." She paused, allowing that part of the story to sink in. Maybe they would infer their own ideas as to what Solarpaw had been doing.

Softy:
Sounding like a kit again Softpaw/spark said "Oh Oh What happens next tell us tell us!" this was a good story so far. How was he breaking the warrior code!! HOW HOW HOW (Lazy srry tired )

[Larksong]

Rainfeather chuckled quietly. "One night, I decided to follow him. It was late, after moon high when I heard him get up. I waited a few moments then quickly followed. It was impossible to find him, his black pelt made him invisible at night. I picked up his scent and padded after him, silent as a shadow....then, I picked up another scent. It didn't belong to the clans, it was a new scent to me. The two smells intermingled, so I knew Solarpaw had met up with someone. I padded along farther, and that's when I saw them. Solarpaw had been sneeking off to see a loner each night. She was a beautiful she cat to be sure. But he was still breaking the warrior code...that's why that kind of love is forbidden. It devides loyalties."

:Softy
Softpaw sat down jaw dropped to the floor. He was sneaking out! What a rat! Breaking the warrior code.. Shame on him. She never wanted love to get to serious. A great example right here. It may lead you to make bad choices

[Larksong]

Rainfeather:

The elder continued. "I of course was heartbroken, for I'd had a crush on Solarpaw for such a long time, but I'd never been able to tell him. We were friends, and once you cross that line, its always hard to bo back to how things were. So I kept quiet and didn't call him out, I went quietly back to my nest, feeling hollower than a nest in winter. Later that moon, Spiritstar found out, and she gave him a choice. The clan, or Breakindawn." Rainfeather licked her chest a few times, trying to smooth down the fur that was sticking up, then continued. "It shouldn't have surprised me what he chose."

[hillclimb]

:Softy
' What did he chose?" she asked so curiously it was like she had turned into a kit. This was such a good story. it was almost to good. She loved story's like this. Story's were amazing

[Larksong]

Rainfeather:
She tucked her white paws under her chest, saddness glittering in her crystal blue eyes. "He chose her. So Spiritstar banished him after giving him his warrior name...Solarshine, as he'd requested..." She paused, and took a deep breath. "Do you know why he wanted his name to be Solarshine?"

[Hiddenflame]

Hiddenpaw knew the answer. He chose the other cat. He thought in his head. Even Hiddenpaw himself would have chosen the cat that he loved, but right now he just had his two friends, and he also didn't ever want to meet a loner or rouge for that matter. He would never had divided loyalties unless he loved somebody from his own clan and they left, then it would be a hard choice.

[hillclimb]

" WHY was that his name?" she asked ( Lazzy gtg)

[Larksong]

Rainfeather: "Becuase of how she shined in his heart." She finished.

Larkpaw's eyes shone. OH my Cloudclan...such a sweet love story. I hope one day I have a tom that loves me that much...but poor Rainfeather! That's horrible...I would never leave my clan though. I'm a treeclan cat through and through!
"Thank you for sharring your story Rainfeather." She pured.

[hillclimb]

:Softy
" thankyou Rainfeather for going thru all that pain for our pleasure" said Softy polity to the elder that had been thru pain.

[Larksong]

Rainfeather shrugged her shoulders. "Enjoy your evening dearies." She mewed, leaning down to eat her bird.

(ok, short due to multytasking w HW)

[Hiddenflame]

Hiddenpaw nodded both his thanks and his asurment that he would have a good evening. He wondered what the three friends would do after they were done here. Would they go get something to eat? Whatever it was it would be fun as long as he was with them.

[Larksong]

Lark nodded her farewell to the two elders, padding out of the den. "Immagine, one day we'll be in there too." She thought allowed, something she rarely did. Generally she kept her thoughts to herself, but on occassion they slipped out. Luckily this particular thought was generally related to the situation at hand.

[Hiddenflame]

Hiddenpaw heard her saying her thoughts aloud. If she's not gone or dead by then. He thought darkly. There was always the odd cat that had misfortune laced in with a regular life, sometimes they left the clan and joined another or became a loner, rougue, or kittypet, and as for death..... some cats got badly injured and just couldn't get better.
