{Indifference}

[Black Flora]

Ginger frame lurked around the little camp, barely noticeable in her unearthly creeping. No one would notice, no one would care. This dark ginger female knew what she was doing, she was succeeding in it terribly well. It had been a while since she had truly looked at her clan overall, never had she realized how much she had missed in doing that. Her sister had been doing so very well, Barkpelt too. Nothing had changed since the last time she had really opened her eyes and looked around, but at the same time everything had. In her delicate seeming jaws were two thrush and a squirrel. Spring did the world of good for the hunting, taking advantage of this was even better. Resting her burden in its rightful place, Irisbreeze looked upon the camp. Settling her extremely graceful frame on the ground, she yawned. Dawn hadn't even arrived yet, Irisbreeze had been out for a while now. Night hours were her best, though she had never cared enough to question that theory.

[Stella]

Barkpelt came out of the Warriors den, he yawned as he came out, stretching every limb in his body from nose to tail, the male smiled, it looked so nice outside. And as he looked around he saw Irisbreeze, smiling the male walked towards her in a friendly manner. "Hello Irisbreeze, how's you day?", The brown cat sat down, hopping the she-cat would be nice, and stop treating him like a kit. He did notice she was stopping but she still had her way.

[Black Flora]

Irisbreeze's amber eyes flickered over to the warrior who had emerged from the den, he was awfully early awakening from his sleep wasn't he? Her lack of concentration caused her to not realise that this random warrior was in fact Barkpelt, Icestar's adopted kit. Back tracking she glanced back over at the handsome tom, no longer passing him off as someone to be ignored. A small chilly breeze ruffled the female's thin fur, her winter coat had quickly shed away.

"Hey Barkpelt, the sun's not even up yet, no one's day has started."

[Stella]

Barkpelt

Barkpelt looked around, he saw how the sun was not up and there was a slight cool breeze going around. He shivered for a second seeing how weird it was for him to wake up this early, he thought of why he was up before dawn, Well i had a great dream last night, but it was so real...i don't know.. The dark male sighed, his bright yellows eyes cutting threw the camp. He looked at Irisbreeze her feminine figure glowing in the low light.' Im not sure, good sleep, im not tired", he shrugged and awaited for the camp to awake, but as he heard dogs howling in the background he almost jumped on to Irisbreeze.

Love is a privilege you have to learn.

[Black Flora]

The dark ginger tabby shifted uncomfortably as the awkward silence descended upon the two. Amber eyes surveyed the deserted camp, flickering in the twilit morning. A chilly breeze ruffled Irisbreeze's shortened pelt, causing her to fluff it up against the early morning chill. Peace was all that had entered the intricate minded she-cats world, in fact it had become a deep normal, and to be quite honest it had started to be less satisfying.

"I see."

You might say that the little female wasn't bothering with the newly named warrior male, but he hadn't interested her yet. Irisbreeze hadn't experienced anything remotely amusing for a long while, she easily became bored.

[Stella]

Barkpelt

The brown Tom closed his eyes to almost a slit ,Irisbreeze seemed quite, bored even, The Tom got up shaking his thick fur." Would you like to go on a hunt?", he smiled hoping the She-cat would a gree for a good old time hunt, like when they where Apprentices. His eyes where bright hoping for the new excitement they did not have in days.Barkpelt was thinking in how much fun they would have hunting down prey for the clan and even ,maybe, having a competition against one another, his mind was lost again, just like when he was a kit.

Love is a privilege you have to learn.

[Black Flora]

Bored amber eyes quickly lit up as they strayed to the tom's face, just as he had suggested a hunt. Well then, what could the tabby say? She was made for hunting and fighting for her clan, old habits die hard. Bringing herself to her feet, Irisbreeze glanced at the tom once again, it seemed that just a second ago his was the cute kit in Dahliaheart's care because of a cold- and now... well he was a handsome young warrior. Not that the proud tabby would admit that thought out loud, this secret would forever be locked away. It's not as if the she-cat would ever do anything about it.

"I suppose you know how to get me to listen now don't you?"

Irisbreeze's slightly teasing voice answered his question as she flicked her tail under his chin and started off to the edge of the clearing. In becoming a warrior, the tabby had become somewhat of a flirt, not really but when she felt like it; especially with friends. Her movements were fluid, not a flaw in sight, she had trained hard to become like this. It reminded her of when the two were Apprentices, maybe she could do this with Angelpaw sometime, teach her how to hunt.

"Well are you coming or not?"

Irisbreeze called quietly to Barkpelt, so not to wake anyone else up.

[Stella]

The brown warrior smiled, he did get her attention he could tell as she looked at him with interest. He laughed as she got up in excitement, but as soon as her tail touched his chin the male's heart starting beating like crazy, his mouth opened at her sweet scent, the male almost didn't notice the she-cat had already started to lead the way, his mind was dazed. But as soon as Irisbreeze called back to him Barkpelt looked up, he shook his head, and as soon as he realized what ha happened he blushed.''Coming''.

But Barkpelt ignored his felling, just for now and followed the beautiful she-cat, The brown tom rolled his eyes at him self, he could not believe he had just thought of that, he did not know why he couldn't just like some one else, he knew Irisbreeze didn't like him, she probably thought he was annoying, sighing he followed the she-cat.

[Black Flora]

Sensitive ears caught the drumming of the warrior's heart before she headed to the edge of the clearing. It quieted the tabby, as she became lost in her confused thoughts. What was that about? Why'd he always act so weirdly around her, it's not because he looked upt o her for sure, because he was a warrior now. Though the amber eyed she-cat was smart and full of herself, she was oblivious when it came to Barkpelt. The tom's reply snapped her out of her own thought train and she led the way out of camp. The warrior moved in and out of the trees and over fallen branches as if she was part of the forest, fluid, she looked as if she was barely trying to make it seem that way.

"Keep up warrior."

Irisbreeze's joyful and gently teasing voice chastised the young male. Her tail flicked as it barely bruched the forest floor. The tabby was almost silent, and completely aware of everything in her surrounding, her ears were constantly swivelling, eyes watching in front of her, nose scenting out for nearby prey. She wasn't hunting, not yet, she was still waiting for a chance to talk with Barkpelt, but she was also choosing a spot to hunt in.

[Stella]

Barkpelt followed the older more experienced warrior, he smiled at her tease, but new it was all good natured. He followed right at her tail, trying to show respect to the she-cat. But Barkpelt was also on high alert for hunting, he new many critters ran around here, and perfect prey for the clan. And as they came about a sun spot in the middle of the clearing, the sun made Irisbreeze fur look like gold, his eyes danced every where as he looked at her pelt , so pretty.

[Black Flora]

Suddenly, the dark eyed tabby came to a halt when she heard the chattering of multiple squirrel's, if Barkpelt was quick they'd be able to get both of them. Irisbreeze just hoped he was quick, else they'd pretty much lose the whole hunt in this area. Small prey mattered very much, at least it did in the tabby's eyes. Her tail flicked, motioning Barkpelt to come up beside her, instead of acting like an apprentice behind her. Her eyes should show him to the two oblivious squirrel's.

And she was off, one paw laid down first and then another one. Silently stalking her prey, Irisbreeze was almost upon the rodents when she stepped on a branch. The tabby had let down her guard for a second, and she hadn't caught it's presence. The squirrel's darted away, and Irisbreeze tore after one of them, hoping that Barkpelt had the wit to go after the other. The amber eyed tabby was almost on the squirrel when it darted up a tree. Irisbreeze dug in her claw and sprang after it. Finally she bit its neck when it was cornered on a branch, it died quietly. Irisbreeze was out of breath from the chase as she lounged on a branch with her kill. Three legs dangling below her.

[Stella]

Barkpelt stopped staring as she motioned to him of two squirrels, she walked up to her and watched the two rodent. An as soon as the she cat motioned, he started to stalk his prey, right foot first then left, and so on. But Barkpelt saw that Irisbreeze had scared them away by stepping in a branch. So Barkeptl tarted off, His paws moving like crazy and his tail darting from side to side, keeping him balanced, but his prey had no change as soon as it was gonna go up a tree Barkpelt leaped and dug his claws on it neck, breaking it. He smiled, it was a successful hunt especially from the trick Icestar had shown him.

Barkpelt picked up the furry mammal and walked towards Iris, he smiled as he set the squirrel down. ''That was a great hunt!'', the toms eye where shinning, he was proud of that hunt, and was almost sure Iris was too, she was a very proud cat.

[Black Flora]

Irisbreeze had recovered from her fast chase and leaped down from the tree she had caught the squirrel in, it was quite a long drop but she absorbed th impact gracefully as she padded toward Barkpelt, who was a few feet away from her. The dead body hanging limp in her jaws, she laid it on the forest floor before swiping her tongue to remove the blood from around her muzzle. Sitting down, she wrapped her tail around her paws while sitting very straight in her usual way. The tabby cleaned the blood and fur from in between her sharp claws and pads.

"Yes, it was a good hunt."

The dark eyed tabby answered evenly. Gathering up her prey she turned back toward camp, but she wanted to have a bit more fun before she returned to her duties as a warrior. She slammed her shoulder against Barkpelt's side playfully, seeing if her surprise could get him off balance. A small smile entered her features and a glint arrived in her eyes.

[Stella]

Barkpelt watched Iris jump of the tree she was very gracefully. He watch as she sat liking the small amount of blood that was left. He watched as she walked to him not sure why, but she bumped to his shoulder, he bounced back laughing, that's when he jumped back, his back side up his tail moving, ready for a pounce. '' Are you sure you wanna get beat by me?'', his joking voice was sweet. his face was ready to play exactly like when they where apprentices. He smiled and made his jump.

[Black Flora]

The dark tabby she-cat dropped her prey to the floor before standing up properly, not taking the same stance as Barkpelt, knowing that this was her best position. Her legs were slightly crouched, her tail swaying out behind her, amber eyes watching for his first move. The tom's joking taunt made Irisbreeze laugh slightly, but she was concentrating on the warrior.

"Really think you can beat me?"

The tabby's lovely voice answered, just as tauntingly toward her opponent. Yes, she was very arrogant at times, even in small amounts, the fact was, she was a proud cat. Even if it was a game, she was not planning on losing, Irisbreeze just takes life seriously. As Barkpelt leapt at her, she turned her back on him and let out a gentle back kick to his stomach, so not as to really hurt him, but stop his first attack there. The tabby turned back around to face him again.
