@fenic!

A molly slowly made her way towards the leader's den. She and Russetstar hadn't had much time to speak since he became leader. Her friend had become swamped with the duties of a leader when he had gotten his nine lives and therefore didn't seem to have much time for friends. Plus, he had to get a deputy shortly after gaining his leader status, which was another factor that must have taken up a lot of his time. Mistfall herself had been busy. Though her personal life seemed to be calming down - with the exception of her younger siblings - she still felt like she had to use all her energy to help Riverclan after the Evil Era and the painful leaf-bare. Due to her... questionable past concerning some things, she also felt like she had to try her hardest for anything that involved the clan, no matter what it was. Mistfall wanted to prove herself and make up for what she did - mostly to herself than anyone else.

She took a deep breath and let her pale orbs watch the ground for a moment. She wished that it wasn't such a sad event that caused her to finally go over to speak to her close friend. Maybe we'd be able to speak someday as just friends? To just spend time by the river or something, aimlessly talking about how we are doing.... The multicolored molly gave a small smile at the thought of just spending some time with Russetstar that didn't involve anything sad like this. But that doesn't seem like the life for me. A frown took over. Her life never seemed calm. She always had an obstacle. When she was a kit she had her father, when she was an apprentice she had Mistyeyes and then became a rogue, when she was old enough to become a warrior she lost the cat she loved, and when she returned it happened to be during the Evil Era.

The warrior felt like sometimes she never got a break form her own life.

"Russetstar? ... May I come in?" He called into the dark den softly. She did not wish to disturb him if he was pre-occupied. It wasn't terribly urgent. She just wanted to see how her friend was doing with the news of Blackgaze's accident. It was an honest shock that something like that could happen, even if the former deputy was blind she would never have expected something like that to happen. Her respected friend is now paralyzed... how could something like that even happen?
