Redbird • Permanent Queen Posts: 11 Likes: 0 Gender: Female Clan: FireClan Played By: may~riin	Post by Redbird on Jul 18, 2018 9:09:46 GMT Well, at least Redbird had been able to snap Foxfeather out of her thoughts. She gave herself a mental pat on the back for that! Although as she kept talking, there were still instances where her leader would fade away again. It reminded Redbird of herself a little bit. She was tempted into la-la-land quite a bit, but usually she could keep herself grounded in conversation (considering she did most of the talking.) What was Foxfeather thinking about? Hopefully she didn't find the queen annoying or something. Maybe she was plotting murder? Or maybe, Foxfeather was just thinking about what was actually being talked about more extensively, because that is waaay more plausible than a pregnant she-cat's murder. "Yeah," Redbird agreed. Had anything she said even gotten through to her? It wasn't like the two were close. Of course, she shouldn't just assume her words had any meaningful impact on Foxfeather's life. It was definitely easy to get Redbird to ramble. Especially about being a lazy mother. "Oh!" the red tabby seem to brighten at the question, genuinely believing that her leader was curious. She gave a bright, cheery smile. And all her worries about the scary Foxfeather were gone in a heartbeat. "It is amazing, Foxfeather! I mean, it's not nearly as exciting as hunting or battling, but there are little moments that are so sweet. I especially love telling the kits stories, and teaching them new things. Their whole worlds seem to light up when they learn new words, or especially when I teach them about the other clans and our traditions." Redbird paused for a moment, contemplating her next words, before she went through with it. "I teach them bits of the warrior code, parts that I myself think are most important. I feel like anything else can be left up to their mentors or the other queens. And with CloudClan, I teach them that as well, though maybe not as well as I should. Since I go back and forth in believing, how I currently stand usually determines how much I teach them. But those are still important for them to know, and it's so cute watching their little faces think about upholding the warrior code, or that their ancestors are possibly watching over them." *"Someday, I really want a whole ton of kittens running around. Too many to count, for sure, but of course I'd* know how many!" Redbird purred with pride next, perhaps quickly trying to gloss over her warrior code and CloudClan comments. She didn't know where Foxfeather stood on those subjects. "I love coming up with names in my spare time, which I have a lot of. And to think that my own demon spawn are running around making history is just-- it just makes me so happy!"** { knock knock hello, did fox order a gallon of rambling? just got it in the mail today! } cue clan sensitive topics

Foxfeather • Leader "family doesn't end in blood" Posts: 23 Likes: 1 Gender: Female Clan: FireClan Played By: kira	Post by Foxfeather on Jul 20, 2018 17:59:50 GMT Foxfeather was so glad that it worked. The prompting instantly caused Redbird to perk up, and then with a smile she started rambling. Foxfeather just forced a polite smile and nodded in all the right places, trying to make a stronger effort to show she was actually listening.... Well, sort of. At least her smile didn't appear forced. Foxfeather found that faking it was.... Pretty essential to keeping up a strong front when you felt anything but strong. Foxfeather listened to Redbird's words, since Foxfeather would probably never have kits.... So hearing it secondhand would probably be the best she could get to knowing what it was like. Raising kits probably was a lot different from training apprentices, though Foxfeather had trained an apprentice to warriorhood exactly once. Just enough to qualify her for the deputy position. That was one thing that hadn't faded, that was a tradition kept up, probably because it had actual real rational reasons behind its existence. Experience in leading, even if it was leading a young impressionable apprentice as opposed to the clan, was still important. Even then.... Honestly.... Foxfeather figured leading was something you couldn't really be ready for. It was just something you learned and dealt with. Foxfeather was interested to hear but not that surprised that Redbird was one of those who at least partially still clung to the warrior code. Foxfeather's parents hadn't believed in it, and never taught her. She knew some scraps that she agreed with, but ultimately she wasn't really looking to adhere to a set of old rules that were made by cats countless seasons ago. To Foxfeather.... The idea of some cats she never met scrutinizing her every action sounded terribly unnerving. Maybe some found it reassuring.... Not Foxfeather. She'd rather keep her paws in the present. Foxfeather chose not to burst Redbird's bubble, in that she'd probably never be able to have that many kits. They didn't have the resources and.... Foxfeather didn't want to be the one to tell Redbird to kill her kits. She could only hope that Redbird had very, very few kits. Though, Foxfeather tilted her head. "Demon spawn?" She inquired.

Redbird • Permanent Queen Posts: 11 Likes: 0 Gender: Female Clan: FireClan Played By: may~riin	Post by Redbird on Jul 21, 2018 23:56:33 GMT At the inquiry of how she called her kits, Redbird ducked her head with a bit of guilt, and her tail flicked lightly in amusement. "Ah, I say that with endearment. Kits can sometimes be a pawful." Redbird couldn't count all the times the little ones did something wrong, whether with purpose or accidental. They tended to get their paws everywhere, and do things that could get messy if someone wasn't paying attention. And, yes, perhaps they could get to the point of tantrums and excessive whining as well. But a queen, and a mother, was built to handle those situations. And joke about them at a much later date. "I'm sure we've all been a kitten in trouble before. It's different when you're not the kit, though. So I don't say the word in a bad way. I think it's sometimes adorable, once the issue has passed. They're only learning, and mistakes are made in that process." Redbird purred, continuing a bit of her rambling. But now she was near the end of it, and felt obligated to return the question. "So what's life as a leader of FireClan? I want all the juicy details, Foxfeather!" the queen purred, even scooching a smidge closer. Because this was a lot like gossip time, and she-cats were made for this kind of thing. To hell with the world around you when there were things to learn. Redbird couldn't even remember why she might want to keep Foxfeather's personal bubble untouched. But the sincere glow in her eyes of a social butterfly should provide enough of an explanation as to why. Foxfeather

Foxfeather • Leader "family doesn't end in blood" Posts: 23 Likes: 1 Gender: Female Clan: FireClan Played By: kira	Post by Foxfeather on Jul 25, 2018 15:43:05 GMT Personally, Foxfeather thought that calling kits demonspawn simply for being a pawful was a little.... Extreme. Though, maybe she didn't really know how these things worked. Foxfeather wasn't a mother, and she refused to look to her own mother as a model. Her mother was a fox-heart without a doubt. She didn't like thinking about her parents too much, so she was pretty much prepared to stop thinking about her family. Foxfeather figured Redbird probably had an easier existence in general, one that included a good family. Probably. Foxfeather shrugged. "I suppose." She said. Recalling back... Even if she didn't really want to, she remembered that her parents basically thought she could do no wrong and.... Her brother was pretty much the demonspawn in their parents' eyes.... Except it was much more serious and less endearing than Redbird seemed to use the term. Okay, okay.... Bad thoughts, bad memories. Get away from there. Foxfeather wondered if she was spacing out too much in this conversation. Argh.... And, oh no. Redbird wanted Foxfeather to actually make an effort to participate in this conversation with topics she didn't really want to. Foxfeather leaned back, and tried to subtly scooch away. She was not appreciating the sudden encroach on her personal bubble. "Ah, it's nothing too interesting." She deflected. "Mm.... Day to day, it's hard but not particularly special." She claimed. Redbird ((Foxfeather: "[internal screaming]"))

Redbird • Permanent Queen Posts: 11 Likes: 0 Gender: Female Clan: FireClan Played By: may~riin	Post by Redbird on Jul 29, 2018 9:18:52 GMT Hmm. Foxfeather didn't seem all that interested in talking about her job as FireClan's leader. Was there really not much to discuss? For Redbird, there was plenty. Every kitten came with a story, every day a new experience and a new struggle. Wasn't a clan leader in the same nest? Dealing with clan drama, conflicts, ecetera. There had to be something, even a story of the past. But Redbird supposed if her leader wasn't going to openly admit to a story herself, there was no way she would with prying. And that was a very bad idea in itself. Thus, the subject was likely not going to be discussed very long. "I see." Redbird mused after the light information was given. *"Hmmm well, if anything exciting does* come up, do let me know. If I don't see it for myself, that is." She scooted back into her own spot, drawing her red tail across her side and breathing in the scent on the wind. It smelled of heather and summer heat, something that made Redbird feel content and at peace. Blinking up towards the sky, the queen took note that a fair amount of time had passed. She wondered if Foxfeather was only being polite in staying for so long. And she was sure FireClan's leader had plenty to do. Throwing the ginger tabby a winning grin, Redbird gave a quick gesture out to the clearing. "Well, I bet I've stolen enough of your time." Although a part of her was sad to bid farewell, she was sure Foxfeather had things to get done. Borders to mark, prey to catch, and the like. "If you stay any longer, I might start rambling about who knows what. And I'm sure a leader is very busy." "Though if you wanna stay, you're welcome to. I might go for a walk or something. Saying it out loud definitely gives me the energy to do that now, hehe."** Redbird's eyes narrowed in amusement, and she gave Foxfeather a friendly wave of her tail. "But I won't keep you. Just, thanks for coming to talk to me. You're pretty cool. A little scary still, but definitely a lot more likable now that I've actually talked to you for more than a few seconds. So, uhm, I'll be sure to say hi whenever we're both free." Would she? Redbird felt like, in that moment, she'd be brave enough to greet Foxfeather herself. She hadn't seemed threatening, and FireClan knows how annoying a rambling she-cat can be. Maybe she wasn't so bad. Oh, hopefully she wasn't so bad...! Pfft, it's all chill. Fox is chill. I'm pretty sure? She hasn't killed me yet. So I think we're chill. Foxfeather 😂 { we can end the thread here if you want?? dont have to, but it's two pages, and it seems to have wrapped up snug! ★~(◡﹏◕✿) }

Foxfeather • Leader "family doesn't end in blood" Posts: 23 Likes: 1 Gender: Female Clan: FireClan Played By: kira	Post by Foxfeather on Aug 12, 2018 2:16:27 GMT Foxfeather was glad that Redbird didn't end up pushing. She wasn't entirely sure if Redbird believed her. Probably not, not with how.... Well.... How hyped up the leadership position was. It was some great honor and leaders were supposed to be great and strong and so many things.... Foxfeather wondered how many times cats forgot that leaders were just cats. Probably a lot because they weren't allowed to be normal. How could you be normal with the lives of so many cats into your paws? There was immense pressure to obey her orders and Foxfeather just.... How could she relax with that kind of responsibility? It just wasn't a possibility. It was an exhausting responsibility. Foxfeather shrugged and gave Redbird a gentle grin. "Ah, don't worry about it." She waved Redbird off, figuring Redbird at least deserved some friendliness in the farewell. She wasn't trying to be Redbird's best friend, but she didn't want to leave Redbird with apathy or hostility. Nah, this was fine. Force a little smile that didn't look forced, and maybe.... Soothe whatever Redbird thought of Foxfeather. No matter what, Foxfeather guessed she could always raise her approval rating just a bit. That was a decent leaderly thing to do, right? Foxfeather suppressed the urge to twitch at Redbird saying that she seemed a little scary. At least she succeeded in chasing away some of that.... Unfavorable perspective. Foxfeather didn't want to be scary. Admittedly, not even to Fireclan's enemies. It just wasn't an idea she liked. Though, appearing intimidating to their neighbors was probably for the best, if it helped scare them away from Fireclan's resources, preventing skirmishes. Foxfeather recognized the need to violently protect their interests, it didn't mean that she had to enjoy the reason that it was necessary. "Sure." She said, watching Redbird and waiting for her to leave. Redbird ((Sorry for taking forever to respond. Just.... Didn't feel up to it.))

Redbird • Permanent Queen Posts: 11 Likes: 0 Gender: Female Clan: FireClan Played By: may~riin	Post by Redbird on Aug 20, 2018 1:20:13 GMT Redbird flicked an ear at the obvious short answers. Had Foxfeather said much at all during this whole conversation? The FireClan could hardly remember. But at the moment, she took it as a clear sign the socializing was leading to an end. She was satisfied. And hopefully Foxfeather was, too. As her leader, Redbird wanted to leave a good impression, sure. And it didn't seem like she had failed in that part. Taking a quick glance towards the clearing, the queen waited for the tabby to leave. And when she didn't right away, her moss-green eyes turned back, and there was an awkward expression displayed. Oh, does she expect me to go on a walk NOW? Redbird thought, with a little bit of panic. Although she had been talking about it, that didn't mean she was up and ready for it right this very moment. She was a lazy she-cat, not a spontaneous go-getter. Here she was, sitting comfortable in the entrance to the nursery, listening to the play of FireClan's kittens behind her. Not in any position to do anything. "Ah..." An awkward meow. Redbird flattened her eyes, wondering what to do. After a few more moments of silence, where nothing was done, the ginger tabby got to her paws. "I might as well, uhm, go for that walk now. I suppose." she said, a slight tremble in her tail. Dipping her head, Redbird bid farewell one last time. "Uhm, bye bye, Foxfeather." Before taking on a quick-footed trot towards the camp entrance. Ahhhhhhh, that was so weird towards the end.... Redbird whined to herself. { sorry it's so late, finally got around to it, baaaahh. End thread here, or after you post for Fox's final thoughts?? }
