when sleep is preferred (o)

[Tidepaw]

The tom's gaze dampened now, he hadn't actually gotten a chance to ask as much as he would've liked to before the meeting was over. It was quite depressing now that he was thinking about it. Maybe they would meet again, along the border or, even at another gathering. There was one every moon, so there was always a chance they would meet again. Maybe even as warriors. But it was be a long time until the tom would earn his warrior name, many many moons of training until this time. "Sadly, I didn't hear too much about the clan life." He added finally, looking up the tom again, his gaze drown away from the mountain. "Now that I'm thinking about it I would've loved to know."

Redpaw grinned and, though he knew his friend only really wished to know more about the mountain clan's life, he couldn't help but to tease the other tom. "Oh? It sounds like someone might have a crush," he said, his grin developing into a smirk just as the spark in his gaze turned from curiosity to mischief. "And here I thought I was the apple of your eye," he added, the spark in his icy blue gaze growing in intensity. Turning back towards the neighboring clan's territory, he cast another glance at the mountains before turning to face Tidepaw once again. "Anywhere else in particular you want to check out?" he asked innocently, though he couldn't completely smother the mischief still lacing his voice.

[Tidepaw]

Tidepaw stepped back from the ruddy tom, his face smothered in disgust. "Relations? With another clan?" He hissed through clenched teeth. "Never!" Seeing the humor and mischief upon his eyes he calmed down, letting his muscles relax again before the other apprentice added a question about where to next. 'Well I think we should visit each... which one is closest to here?"

Upon seeing Tidepaw's reaction, Redpaw nearly fell to the ground; as it was, he laughed perhaps louder than he should have when they were right next to a rival clan's territory. After he collected himself enough to speak again, he turned his attention back toward Tidepaw. "You know, you didn't deny one of those things," he said with a wink, his gaze brimming with mischief. He considered his friend's question for a moment, then set off toward TreeClan, his tail waving smugly in the air as he resumed his role as tour guide. "Come on!" he called over his shoulder, not bothering to name their destination as he cut a path through the tall prairie grass.

[Tidepaw]

"Why I otta..." He muttered to himself, his ears laid back and eyes drawn onto the Iceclan territory. Who needs she-cats anyways... Following close behind the red apprentice who's name fit him fairly well he found himself itching his nose. It was as if the grass was cutting him up, getting under his pelt. Hopefully this wouldn't happen all the time, probably just had to get used it. Imagine that, a Fireclan cat with an allergy towards grass.

"You know, it's disrespectful to itch your nose when you're being given a tour. You should pay more attention; it is very important that you get a lay of the land," Redpaw called back to the other tom, his voice full of false indignation. "Also, you should pay attention to everything I do; I am also very important," he added, casting a lopsided grin back at his friend. He was in a rather good mood at the moment, even better than usual; the ruddy tom supposed that this was most likely due to the feeling of freedom that came with exploring the territory. He smiled again, this time in genuine satisfaction, and soon they came up to the sprawling forests of TreeClan. "And this, my dear friend, is TreeClan," he announced, his tone laced with self-importance.

[Tidepaw]

The tom sniffed and shot a reluctant glance at the other apprentice, following hard on his paws. Heading now towards a forest, a group of trees that he could only guess was Treeclan. This clan was a clan known for climbing and for how much of squirrels they were. "The squirrels eh?" He sniffed again, looking through the trees and wondering what was about them.

"The squirrels, indeed," Redpaw replied; he wasn't sure if Tidepaw was mocking TreeClanners, or was simply stating that there were, in fact, squirrels among the trees, but either way, the tom was correct. Gazing into the thick groves of oak and beech, Redpaw's imagination ran with the mysterious darkness that the tree branches provided, picturing enemies and a territory he would likely never see up close. "So, what do you think? You like it here more, or at the IceClan border?" he asked, the tone of his voice as serious as it possibly could be, considering it was constantly tainted by mischief.

[Tidepaw]

Tidepaw snorted and shrugged. Sure, the trees were beautiful  and all with their curving branches and ever changing leaf coloring but what was really gorgeous was the mountain. The way it climbed and peaked with white by the snow that sat upon it. Eagles often soaring around it and adding to the mysterious vibe it gave off. One day he would like to climb it, but that would probably never happen. At least not without an Iceclan cat tearing his fur off. Turning back to the tom he mewed, "And the last clan?"

"Ah yes, RockClan," Redpaw said, spinning around and beginning the trek toward the last clan's territory. "This clan is known for..." the tom faltered for a moment, thinking on what he could pick out as a distinguishing feature for the clan among the cliffs. "Well... they have rocks," he said, unable to think up anything better. When they reached the clan's border, he realized what he'd said might have been a good fit; they did, indeed, have rocks. "As you can see, I was not mistaken in my observation," Redpaw declared, turning his icy blue stare on Tidepaw, his voice picking up a hint of mock smugness.

[Tidepaw]

Tidepaw nodded to the other tom's statement, although he had remembered something else about the clan... but he held his tongue until they arrived at the territory. It was very much covered in boulders, there was even a sort of art to it. The way they were scattered... he wondered how they had gotten there in the first place. Not to mention how tough these cat's pads had to be. "I heard that their special ability is digging." Fireclan's special ability being running, which he didn't mind at all. "Anything else all knowing one?" He purred, turning his attention back to his friend.

"I knew that, of course," Redpaw replied, turning his nose upwards. "I was simply testing your knowledge of the other clans," he added, though he quickly broke into a grin afterwards. Turning back toward the prairie, Redpaw began walking, keeping his pace slower than he had when they'd rushed from border to border; he was beginning to feel the strain of the effort they'd put into the trip. Of course, he was always up for more exploration. "Well, as I am the all-knowing one, as you yourself so graciously pointed out, there is of course more I could show you," he called back, grinning as he did so. Turning to face Tidepaw, putting him in a position that called for him to walk backwards, the red furred tom added, "The question is, though, what more would you like to see?"

[Tidepaw]

Tidepaw shrugged and quickened his pace so that he was walking paw in paw with the other tom, Redpaw being slightly bigger than himself. "Nothing I can really think of," He shrugged, turning his gaze towards the other cat. He really didn't know of anything else that existed in the territory or around it. There was always Deathclan but that would be a most dangerous trip he was not yet ready to take. Even in all his bullheaded-ness and confidence he had not gained enough to reach that level. "How bout we just return then eh?" (You can end the thread once you post <3)
