the clouds rolling overhead were a soft silver, shrouding the sunlight from the dark, lush marsh. they could hardly be seen, though, through the cover of the foliage, creating a canaopy over the wet terrain. for some reason, she liked this kind of weather. the atmosphere around her seemed thick and cozy even though the cloudcover seemed to threaten rain. she didn't mind, it was just kind of nice to be in the swamp like this, relishing the darkness in the middle of the day, and contemplating her thoughts. biting her lip, she briefly wondered how she'd react if someone came upon her out here, but she did her best to brush the thought away. most cats, at sunhigh, would either be on a border patrol or napping in camp.
she fell into a smooth crouch and made her way to the edge of a shallow, grassy pond- not uncommon in a territory as sodden as shadowclan's. at the edge, she found a dry patch and flopped down, stretching out a forepaw to dangle in the opaque water. the she-cat blinked big honey-colored eyes as she watched the ripples dance away and lap up against the tendrils of watery plantlike until the whole area around her seemed to be swaying with the gentle rhythem of the pond. she loved shadowclan, and didn't care what the other clans had to say about it. dark? wet? all the better, it was the life for her. the tabby female sat up and craned her neck, peering about her surroundings as though she hadn't been in that very spot a million times before.
with a shriek, several crows erupted from a nearby tree, and amberjaw winced with the fluster of it. it meant she had company.
//short woops, intros are tough haha.

he spotted her dangling a paw in a nearby cove, and he planned to sneak to her quietly to avoid any sort of disturbance. of course, he stepped on a branch, sending crows flying from the tops of the trees. bah! he winced and shook his head before elegantly leaping towards his sister. no point in staying too silent now. "is this the place that you're always sneaking off to, amberjaw?" [/color] he asked with a tiny smirk on his muzzle, tilting his head to the side.

she was pleasantly surprised to find the sneaking intruder turn out to be none other than her brother- his deep orange coat a shock of color in the muted tones of the dark woodland from where he emerged. she watched his face turn into a mask of vague frustration and grinned- he did look pretty out of place there for having lived here all his life. she quickly remembered to play upset with him for interrupting her peaceful afternoon alone. her broad features crinkled into a frown, her maw pouting, but her topaz gaze danced playfully when he made his way over to her, and amberjaw lashed her tail for effect. "yeah, maybe it is!" she snapped, but stood and shook out her thick tabby pelt before leaning forward to butt him happily on the shoulder. "and were you just out here to pick on little ol' me?" she asked looking into his eyes pitifully.
"and besides, there's no harm in me being out here right now! I swear!" the smaller she-cat insisted, not quite panicky, "I've even gone hunting today, and I don't have a patrol til later! hm!" she added, nodding sharply. she glanced upward, through the thick tree-cover, at the darkening sky. "I think it's gonna rain or storm," she observed, then focused her attention back on him. "now, what are you doing out here, furball?"

he grinned at her and chuckled a little, watching her puff up in defense. "that's what i always do, isn't it?" [/color] he loved their banter, it calmed him down. it was a good, somewhat productive way to let off steam. "i never said there wasn't! you're so defensive, little sister~ did you do something wrong~?"[/color] he taunted, his tail lashing behind him as he teased her. he rose his brow comically to add to the effect before rolling his eyes. "we're warriors now... you don't need to defend and try so hard to keep your title. you're doing just fine."[/color] with a firm nod, he then sat down next to her, curling his tail around his paws. "mm, yeah, it looks like it... good thing we're not prisses when it comes to rain like windclan or something, though."[/color] he grinned at her again before flicking his ear, his look turning somber. "i wanted to get some time away and think... i've been feeling a little lost lately. have you had that feeling before, amberjaw?"[/color] [/div] russetstorm of shadowclan credit to moo for the code & jeo for the image [/style][/center] |
