I WILL BE MARRIED TO SILENCE

Swantooth peers up, tailtip twitching. She likes that plan—sending Ratflame up into a precarious spot—only, to be down here when the hive lands...her eyes narrow, thoughtful. Swantooth has never dealt with bees besides swatting them away on the occasional outing. She doesn't know whether they'll disperse, eventually, or stick around to guard their fallen home. What she does know, though, is that there are ridges of comb up there actively swarming with the little suckers, and if Ratflame's already volunteered to be the first cat to give them something to be mad about then...

"Good idea," Swantooth agrees with a tight little nod. "I'll gather from the ground." An assurance which actually means she's going to stand way, wayyy back once Ratflame's up there and just...wait.

Doeflame

Doeflame didn't know why she had decided to go out at night. She just felt restless, she guessed, and that made it hard to sleep. So she was here, padding through the pines, the only sounds her pawsteps on the ground and her breaths. Sometimes the silence was broken by the sound of a small nearby creature or the chirping of crickets. She couldn't sense anything dangerous, but still, as much as she hated to admit it, Doeflame was on edge. She might not have paid much attention to the queens' lectures as a kit, but she still remembered the stories of owls that scooped up kits who strayed from their mothers' sides. Even adults sometimes.

Doeflame was about to turn back (not because she was a scaredy-cat, of course not! She was just tired) when she saw tiny lights in the distance. Curiosity aroused, Doeflame abandoned her plan and padded towards them. And she was glad she had, because they were fireflies.

They were cool. Really cool. They pirouetted around her, their lights illuminating her pelt in many tiny patches. A grin spread across Doeflame's face, and she started to dance with them, twirling around as joy spread through her body. She was definitely getting rid of her restlessness now.

Then a firefly flew too close to her face, and Doeflame snapped her jaws around it. She tried to swallow it, but it wasn't having any of it, and eventually she was forced to spit it out. It flew away from her as fast as it could, and soon it was lost in the swarm of lights. Aww. She had almost eaten a firefly.

Doeflame

Yes, the fireflies were cool, but eventually the novelty of them wore off. And Doeflame was tired. She had well and truly worn off the restlessness, and now she was ready to collapse and sleep the day away.

"Bye, little fireflies. Hope you had fun dancing with me. Oh, and if the one I tried to eat is still here, no hard feelings, alright?" With that, Doeflame started to pad away. Time to go back to camp. She wondered if whoever the guard was would ask her why she had gone out. Well, she had no reason to lie: restlessness was a perfectly acceptable reason. If they didn't think so they must have been doing a lot to not ever have that feeling. Although, most of the Enforcers did do a lot, and it would likely be one of them guarding.

Doeflame hadn't gone far when the sky erupted. Sharp bangs rung through the air, making her jump backwards in shock and fear. What was happening? WHAT WAS HAPPENING? Bursts of colour lit up the night sky, each accompanied by the deafening noise that made her fur stand up on end. But soon, her fear dissolved, replaced by curiosity. These things were weird and very, very loud, but they were cool. Even cooler than the fireflies. If they just didn't hurt her ears so much...

Eventually, the strange phenomenon ended, and Doeflame stared up at the sky for a moment in wonder before heading back to camp, the colours and sounds engraved in her mind. She knew what her dreams would include tonight.
