When the sunshine tabby molly had lay her gaze upon Floodsight, she felt just a bit awkward. Almost wanting to put her head down and avoid eye contact due to her bright slightly piercing gaze that almost seemed to be looking into Floodsight's soul. Into who she really was. Analyzing... and it felt weird to her.
'But come on, Floodsight. You said you're going to change! Get better at socializing!' That's right, she was. So her head didn't falter, but her soft gaze yearned towards the sky where the clouds rolled pass.
'Way to go...perhaps that wasn't any better.'
She was definitely getting better, to say the least. Socializing had became a easier task than when she was an apprentice. Lately, she'd been talking well with all her clanmates, but still fumble a bit when it came to small talks and such. And like always, she'd tried to avoid arguments and help out everyone as much as she could.
'This was not any different, so talk, Floodsight!' Luckily, the gentle smile of the other molly seemed to have been a little more encouraging. A small smile, neither happy or determined, rather it looked like a tired smile that seemed to carry the weight of a lifetime. Considering the past 2 moons of betrayal, hardship and travel, it seemed almost understandable some of that weighed onto the pained smile. But their situation had been getting better, their leaders had already decided on a camp location. Even though their current camp was one that even the twolegs had abandoned, it was only a stone throw away from their territory. From their land. Their home.
They were close. They were almost home.
"Indeed it does," The silverish molly started quietly acknowledging Honeysucklebloom's words carefully. She tried to put her mind optimistically. But she could only muster a bit. Afterall, between her and her friend, Wasp had always been the optimistic bundle of joy and happenings. One to clear up the conscience and let you think of all the good stuffs in life. But in Floodsight's mind of optimism, she could only offer some of the benefits.
"Where we've lost, we've also gained. New friends, family, experience. Skills that would make us stronger when we've returned."
"That does not cover the tragedy everyone had to face...especially the little ones," her soft voice carried strong, not wavering. It had hurt her to see the little ones looking so lost the first moon of their departure. But they were able to bounce back to optimism faster than most of the older cats. Sitting a little taller, Floodsight fully believed they're able to return as strong as before.
"But we can forgive, move on. But not forget."
Hearing Honeysucklebloom's words of the sea made Floodsight feel much lighter. Her dim blue eyes had lit just up a bit to imagine their land where the sea touched the sky. Where it was quiet and the only sound was the gentle crashing of the waves, slight whistle of the wind and couple of gulls chiming about. She had nodded understandingly to the molly's words and agreed on every front. As quick a rain falls, the sunshine tabby's gaze turn from a curiosity to fear. The imagery had quickly left Floodsight's mind, instead it was replaced by a questioning. But one that Floodsight was confident to answer. With her paws gently placed on Honeysuckle's own, she had softly replied, hoping her words could bring some form of peace and comfort to the anxious looking warrior,
"Hey, look...our leader had already decided on a place to return to. We won't be staying here forever and very soon, we'll return. The new camp will be safe, it'll be alright~ and it'll be a fresh start. For everyone."
The next chapter of RiverClan's story was just on the horizon. Not wanting to dwell on the past for too long, Floodsight had offered the molly,
"How about a walk along Lionsbeach?"
