Over at the pond, a calm breeze stirred the reeds and the grass. Grey clouds hung in the sky, moving idly past as a foggy chill tickled the tom’s hairs.

He’d escaped the camp for a breather, deciding to take this time to himself to try and process everything that Bumblestar had announced at the meeting. ShadowClan cats. Invading their borders. Glimmermask let out a soft, seething hiss through his teeth at the thought. That damned Clan had skinned their cats, killed their warriors, and now it seemed they would be on the brink of war with ThunderClan in no time. Glimmermask was tense and anxious upon hearing this, seeing as he considered himself a rather peaceful cat. Everything he did, every way he acted, was in a sort of go-with-the-flow fashion, taking things as they were tossed his way and resisting the urge to bite back. But this was almost too much to bear. He was a young tom: he had never been in a battle before... And he hoped he wouldn’t have to be for a very long time to come.

As he padded quietly through the forest now, he came upon the Cattail Pond and stopped at its edge, peering down to look into the dark waters. The soothing whistles of birds could be heard faintly in his ears. Letting his shoulders relax, the tabby-point tom took a seat amongst the reeds, his mind going blank. Perhaps he should hunt. Or maybe he should just take this time to himself, to sit in quiet and peace and think.

No cat could disturb him. No cat would.

Orangeblossom
| He/him | TC warrior | Moons: 17 | No purrks |

Orangeblossom had been on another one of his solo walks to take a break from everything that has been happening lately. Between patrols, Shadowclan, having an apprentice, Springlight, and his siblings the warrior really hasn’t had much time to himself lately and it was starting to wear on him just a bit. Finally, he was able to find the time to escape and let his paws carry him randomly through the territory. Staring blankly without really seeing the world around him too much as he just let his mind drift from having to stay focused so much lately. It was alright, he took a deep breath, everything was alright. After blinking a few times he recognized that he had found himself going to Cattail pond. It was a calmer part of the territory. The warrior hasn’t been here for a while.

Looking through the trees, he saw that there was another cat at the pond already. He took a deep breath, pulling up the happy go lucky he always has to be easily, before stepping out towards the warrior. Orangeblossom wasn’t sure if they had already noticed him so leaving wasn’t an option, sadly. It was a thunderclan cat which from the lack of any odd smells, the warrior knew already but it was nice to confirm, “Hey! What’re you up to out here?” Orangeblossom asked cheerfully, a smile on his muzzle and a slight hop to his step as he approached the other feline at the water’s edge.
