Care For Conversation

[Nightfang]

A large thick muscle tom laid in his nest, his bright amber eyes fixed on the den entrance. The senior warrior was taking a break from his duties and choose to relax a little. Well, Nightfang, being his not so talkativeness around others, rested alone. He wished for another to talk to, but he could not find his sister and his only friend was Cloudwing who he saw more as a friend. Out of those three, he could not find one of them. Nightfang sighed and closed his eyes, his pitch black ears picking up the sounds of the wind outside the den and just random sounds of the earth. He wished he had more friends, but he did not receive the gift of social skills, not like his sister Runningfeet.

[Silverstripe]

Silverstripe came back from hunting. Coming back with very few pieces of prey. She dropped it in the pile, a stretched her muscles. They where tired, she had been doing it all morning. She thought she would take a break before going out again. So she padded into the warriors den. She was about to curl up in her nest, when she saw the senior warrior Nightfang. She had heard about him, but never talked to him. She shrugged, now would be a good time to talk. Besides she didn't have to go back tout for a little while. She went and sat beside him, dipping her head in respect.

"Nightfang correct?" i asked him.

[Nightfang]

Slowly opening his eyes, Nightfang lifted his midnight black furred head and turned it to face the new voice. His bright amber eyes gazed into hers, but his gaze was clouded, like they always where. "Yes, Silverstripe. Correct me if I am wrong." The tom spoke with a natural dark deep voice that he thought scared many away. Nightfang's mind began to wonder once again, about how other saw him. A big large beast that talked to no one and caused trouble were ever he went. Nightfang did have a natural large thick body and very dark black fur with bright amber eyes. His voice was very deep, but he was not curl or mean. He was nice and very loyal to those he cared about.

[Silverstripe]

I hadn't heard anything else about Nightfang, besides his name. I wasn't one to get into gossip. Size didn't seem to matter to me either, he seemed nice enough. Though i would need to talk to really decide that. I didn't judge right away. I lay down, relaxing my muscles, surely showing how tired i really was. I looked around to see if any other cats had approached but none had. I looked at his big black pelt, seeing for the first time that he was bigger than me.

"So how have you been?" I ask him. A question that was often asked, but i didn't know what else to say.

[Nightfang]

The tom had a calm face, no smile, no frown, but inside he was happy. This she-cat seemed to ignore all the words that the world was speaking about him. This she-cat remind him of Cloudwing when they first meet. The white she-cat had disregarded his appearance and accepted him as another cat. Silverstripe was similar to Cloudwing in that matter and it made Nightfang seem more relax and at ease. "I am well. Everyday seems to be the same, but that is how life goes I guess. How about you Silverstripe? Anything interesting happen to you in your warrior life or is it just the basics?"

[Silverstripe]

I thought about it for a second. "Eh...Basics, nothing special really, but i'm glad to hear your doing well" I purr to him. Nothing much had happened in her life lately, just a lot of hunting, and some times she went out to train, but that only if she could find a partner to go out with.

"I wish something would happen, i feel like its been forever since i'v seen any of my friends at all!" I tell him, but than realize that he might not even care, and i should think before i speak. "Sorry if i'm complaining!" i say with a little smile.

[Nightfang]

Nightfang could not help but release a chuckle as he listened to the she-cat talk. Now she sounded like his sister, Runingfeet, but more soft and gentle. Runningfeet was outgoing and wild, sometimes, and Silverstripe was a gentle spirited she-cat that he was begging to feel more open to. "Well, it's better to know you have friends out there then not to have any at all. I am not a very sociable one and many fear my appearance and judge me from that. I am only friends with my sister Runningfeet and was once friends with Cloudwing, but I feel things have broken between us."

[Silverstripe]

I nod as i hear him talk, to show that i was still listening. "I think no one should judge them in till they really met them. I didn't think your appearance really mattered much, besides where warriors its best to look tough!" i purred "You may scare the other cats in battle" i tell him. "I don't think it matters much whats on the outside, as long as you have a kind, loyal heart. Its pretty easy to be my friend!" Even though I was always open to make new friends. I didn't have very many, only Dustspirit, Stormflash, and Bumblepaw, all those i hadn't seen in forever and missed very much. "Tell me more about Cloudwing" I ask him.

[Nightfang]

Nightfang could feel his skin under his cheek fur grow hot with embarrassment as the she-cat asked the question. He was not really prepared to be asked such a question, but still it made since to him that she would ask. "Well, what would you like to know about her? She is a very sweet she-cat who has a very kind heart to many cats. She is fiercely loyal to those who she loves and protects them, but she has had a hard love life since she came to the Clan and I feel bad because I was added to that list. We thought about becoming mates and everything seemed like it would happen and it would turn out well, but something happened, I don't know what, and everything we had crumbled." Nightfang gazed up at the silver she-cat and asked, "Does that cover your question?"

[Silverstripe]

I was surprised when he said everything crumbled. Of course i had curiosity, but he didn't know what happened. "How did you meet her?" I asked him. She seemed nice, and sweet but yet what had happened between them? "and do you still talk to her?" I ask him, i hoped he didn't think i was asking to many questions. I didn't mean to be so pushy, but i wanted to get to know him better. "You don't have to answer any of these you know?" I tell him, more than ask him.

[Nightfang]

"Well I never really spoke about my feelings for Cloudwing since things disappeared. I think it's about time I did, best not to keep these things in forever. Well, I meet Cloudwing through my sister one day. I walked over to her and Cloudwing was upset about her former lover and was very upset. We yelled at each other for the first part, but I felt myself attracted to her. She was very beautiful and had a very strong spirit that I found very nice. I summed up every ounce of courage I had and I spoke to her once more, but just us two. I made a habit out of it and then we found each other falling. We became mates, but time seemed to tear that love down. I fear approaching her now so I keep my distance, out of fear."

[Silverstripe]

I thought for a second about it, than decided on what to day. "Maybe if you talk to her again, than you will know how she really feels, and why it didn't work out. Plus maybe she still does have feelings for you, i think that you should talk to her, and work things out. Maybe you might not become mates, but perhaps you can at least be friends. I'm not sure if you want to take advice, since your a Senior Warrior. If you can or can't believe it i have had some love life"

[Nightfang]

Nightfang turned his head back to the entrance and rested it upon his jet black paws. What she was saying is true. He should talk to her once again, but the fact that it might not work out the way he wanted, scared him. He wanted Cloudwing as his own, not as another tom's lover. Nightfang wanted Cloudwing all to himself and if they stayed friends she had a chance of meeting another chance and falling in love. The idea hurt Nightfang and also made him angry, but he didn't show it. "You know Silverstripe, you might be right. I should talk to her and try to work things out. Maybe this time are relationship might be stronger then it was before, but if I just stay her friend, I don't know if I can control my rage if I see her with another tom."

[Silverstripe]

I nod than thought once more "You got to show her how you really feel, and maybe she will see you can't be with out her. Its better than not even telling her the way you feel, and see her with another tom than telling her and having a chance she might welcome you back into her life" I hoped this was the right advice to give. It seemed right, but what if i just made everything worse? I hoped he wouldn't take it out on me. But i really thought that this is what was right to do.

[Nightfang]

Nightfang lifted his head and turned his bright amber gaze to the she-cat and smiled, "Thanks Silverstripe. I am surprised that you are not yet taken. I am sorry, I jumped that. You are with out a mate right?" Nightfang felt bad for saying such a thing with out even asking. She could already be in a romantic interest or something and he say such a horrible thing.
