(𓆩✧𓆪) he hadn't really meant to stay in thunderclan for so long. a few days, perhaps, half a moon at most. but as the season shifts and the moon waxes and wanes, dreampaw finds himself missing the marshes of home. loonstar's settled again, not well, but enough that he feels comfortable leaving her. asterpaw's got his own thing going, although dreampaw will have to check up with his brother on the topic of lavenderpaw next moon. how funny to think of his quiet brother as in love. but then, why not? good for him, the boy reasons.
as she marches along back towards where pines scrape the sky, the feline thinks of heartpaw, her former friend of kithood years, turned new friend within apprenticehood. she'd confessed she didn't know if dreampaw would return, and there's a low fire in the cat's stomach as she remembers her promise - she'll always come back to the oaks of thunderclan, even if just for a day. the sunlit maples and mossy camp are too ingrained in her heart to leave them entirely. at the same time, she longs for the dark shades of shadowclan territory. both of her brothers have made their choices, magpiepaw firmly in the shadows, while asterpaw lingers in the forest. dreampaw alone still travels, still stands with a paw between worlds. she doesn't see anything wrong with it.
paws aching, the apprentice finally crosses into shadowclan territory. his nose twitches as he breathes in the scent of peat moss and dark wood, letting it envelop him. heading towards camp. he makes a detour to snatch up a few kills. after all, there's no use returning if he cannot provide for his clan. dreampaw slips into shadowclan's camp, tail high, padding towards the fresh-kill pile where he deposits a muskrat and two small frogs. flaming magenta eyes glance about for his father or brother, knowing he has a lot to tell them.
it is still unknown to the girl whether or not loonstar's relationship with serpentberry was told to sablestar in all of its details. she's sure her father knows the medicine cat and her mother were close, but, like her parent's relationship, it was complicated. whether sablestar and loonstar are still together is a mystery to the girl - she doesn't like to pry - so she decides she'll keep her mouth shut about the specific romantic nature of serpentberry and her mother. sablestar can ask the forest queen if he wishes. similarly, dreampaw is not sure whether to reveal the death of thunderclan's medicine cat. as she moves off to a corner, grooming out the thunderclan scent on her coat, she realizes, not for the first time, that her two homes are rivals. no matter how much she crosses borders and keeps their family connected, there's certainly cats on both sides who would very much like to use her as a spy. cicadabuzz, for one, would rejoice in serpentberry's death. sablestar may very well too, and though she's not close to wolfpack, the girl is aware of the deputy's intense loyalty to his clan.
as pawsteps sound behind him, dreampaw turns finding his kin approaching. "papa!" he purrs, standing to nudge his father affectionately. "i'm home! loonstar is well, and asterpaw says hello! don't worry, i kept up with my training there. i can hunt birds now!" as his brother approaches too, dreampaw blinks at the medic's apprentice fondly. "hiya, mags, how're things? how's timberfrost and cicadabuzz?"

a longhaired chocolate spotted tabby with low white and orange eyes. silky chocolate fur cascades in waves across his boxy frame, darker dapples giving him his tabby pelt. creamy white splashes his paws, belly, tail tip, and muzzle, freckling across his face. the hue of a crackling fire, struck through with magenta and violet, sparkles from narrow sockets.
