Calm Tones (Open)

[Vale]

Vale padded over to a large rock with a plump mouse in his jaws. It was freshly caught, the best kind. The russian blue settled on the rock and ate his meal. His blue gaze wandered the terrain.

[Doing short posts. Anyone may reply, all I ask is do not spam me out.]

[Lyricwhisper]

"Padre!" Lyric's voice carried over through the swamp. The gray and white she-cat pranced over to the bluish tom, smirking at him. "What are you doing out here?"

[Vale]

"Oh." He lifted his gaze from his former meal and glanced at his daughter. "Hello." He greeted rather casually. "Many things. But right now I'm just doing something really boring, eating." He flicked his tail. "Is something bothering you? You don't usually come looking for your old man."

[Lyricwhisper]

"So, I can't come along to just sit down with my father and talk to him? Oh, how the world has changed then." she meowed, exhaling. Lyric bit her lip before speaking. "I should tell you something though."

[Vale]

"Most of my kids don't visit me unless they want something from me." His ears flicked in curiosity, which didn't happen often, when she addressed that she had something to say. Vale didn't show much of when he was intrigued, at least not very easily to things. But he was interested now. "What would you like to share with me, I'm listening." He tried to sound comforting, though he somewhat failed.

[Lyricwhisper]

"That's because most of your kids don't live here." Lyric replied back. "Anyway ... a while back, I met this RockClan cat. He was nice, but I somehow winded up having kits. They live there now."

[Vale]

"...Somehow....." He blinked, and for the first time in a very long time, Vale had utterly nothing to say. Vale's mind filtered through the various women he'd met and tried to remember if any were Clan cats. "Nope I think you beat me there. From what I remember despite somehow producing many Clan-children I don't think I myself have ever had them with a Clan cat. This is a first from my children." He went on.

"Next your going to tell me Kite managed to get some with a Clan-cat. Dear Darkpool my children the taste you have in toms and she-cats.." He sighed. "Why exactly did you leave them there?"

[Lyricwhisper]

"Kite probably has. I haven't talk to him since he joined that group in the loner territory." she meowed. "I left them there because I couldn't handle having them. They were a reminder of a mistake I made in my life."

[Vale]

"How many oopsies do you think I have. Then again they all seemed to of turned to the Clans, even though I never denied them access to DeathClan." He shrugged. "I'd say that sucks because I'd get grandchildren but I might already have some and I'm not sure how I feel about being a grandfather. Because I think that tags along with gray hairs and ageing..-" He blinked. "Oh wait I'm already gray." He shrugged once more.

"..Kite joined that loner thing..? That boy doesn't know what he wants- maybe he does because if he had kits with a she-cat from a Clan.. Nevermind about that." He flicked his tail.

"What did you name them, at least?"

[Lyricwhisper]

"Don't humor me." she meowed. "This is why I never told you." Lyric meowed with an exhausted sigh.

"And, yes, I talked to him once -lolnoididn't- before. I named them. Shrew, Puddle, Frog, and Kite. They probably have that suffix thing now."

[Vale]

"Why would you leave me in the dark? I'm not a savage, I have a heart.. mostly." He yawned. "I suppose you chose the right option. Obviously that part was no mistake." He tried to sound encouraging but then again it was Vale.

"They're gone now, they have a Clan although with the recent DeathClan raid I'd suspect you're a bit worried?" He inquired. "Alright, I'd expect you don't want to drag this topic on any longer. How have you been?"

[Lyricwhisper]

"Perhaps because you aren't around all of the time." she mumbled, flicking her tail.

"I asked about them to the RockClan hostage. He didn't know them." she admitted. Lyric sighed. "I'm fine. I keep getting caught in between younglings that think they are everything."
