Now...Where do I go? -open-

[Foxfire]

I leaned forward and put my forehead lightly on his. "Please cheer up, it will be green-leaf soon. New ktis, freash prey, its going to get better Thistle..." My voice was gentle and I tried to make it as soothing as possible. I took my head back and tried to meet his eyes again. What can I say? I care.

[Thistleflame]

He pulled away from her, and resisted the urge to snap back at her words about green-leaf. He stared at the ground for a moment, and was for some reason reminded of Fernleaf. Of how many times that she and Sharpclaw had told each other how much they loved each other. And of how they had broken it off. Thistleflame slightly lifted his head, ignoring the comment from Gracklefrost, and saw Foxfire in Fernleaf's position, done and over with Sharpclaw. But that would involve hurting her as well. What if ...

[Sharpfang]

Sharpclaw smiled at Gracklefrost, still not knowing what to say to them. It seemed so awkward talking to his friends and... Thistleflame. He rolled his eyes a little as Foxfire chatted with Thistleflame. He couldn't believe they were friends. He couldn't believe that Thistleflame was mates with Shadefall. She seemed so kind and nice and he's... eh.

[Blasphemy]

Gracklefrost turned over and stood up, extending one paw towards sharpclaw in a stretch, her back looking like she was frightened. she gave a quick yawn and looked over to thistleflame who was deep in thought and back to sharpclaw. Something was going on, but who what.

" Is everything alright with you guys? "

she asked Sharpclaw only in a whisper.

[Thistleflame]

Eh? He was eh? Wait, what. Sharpclaw was gossiping now? There really was no way that he could've learned that Thistleflame was mates with Shadefall without gossip, or at least rumors. Seriously.

[Foxfire]

I tilted my head at Thistle, wondering what he was thinking. But I flicked Sharp's nose with my tail to show I hadnt forgotten about him. "Moon partrol should be back soon, we could eat, cal our nerves.." My voice was limp and I had drawn to my full higth, staring out of the entrance. But I raised a kitty eyebrow at Gracklefrost Know whats going on?

[Sharpfang]

How are they telepathic again? Shadefall is his friend by the way and Sharpclaw is a nicer guy than you think. He just rolled his eyes again at Thistleflame and looked at Gracklefrost. We have a complicated relationship. He whispered back to her. He then changed his gaze to Foxfire and nodded his head in reply.

[Thistleflame]

Yeah sure. Nice. He stared in the general direction that Foxfire was, and refrained himself from bursting into a run and leaving the suddenly stuffy-feeling den. He could see slight gestures as some sort of exchange through the three others, but he ignored it and continued staring out, digging his claws into the ground just for a good measure. Though it probably wouldn't do any good.

[Blasphemy]

She drew back from sharpclaw and Foxfire and padded over by Thistleflame with curious eyes.

" If you need anything, you can talk to me. "

she murmured softly her dull blue green eyes flickering across everyone.

[Foxfire]

I flinched back from Thistle's gaze and stared at my paws. My pelt was prickling and I felt my heart clench, like someone had clawed at it. "I can leave if you want to be alone,,," I offered weakly, unable to hide the slight hurt in my voice. Whats with him? Why cant he just say whats wrong? I felt my skin crawl at the thought that Thistle wouldnt talk because of me. But I tried to put the thought out of my head.

[Sharpfang]

Sharpclaw still said nothing. He licked his white paws, making sure his pelt was sleek as always. He focused on the other listening to their conversation quietly, not interrupting.
