Hello and welcome to Purrgatory! We are an 18+ Warrior Cat Roleplay set in an AU where the clans were unable to leave the forest territories and perished! It has been 100 or more years since then, the clans of the forest are but distant memories to any cats still alive, stories passed down to kits of strangely named wild warriors and leaders with nine lives but the time of the clans is upon us once more and the stars shine yet again.

She hadn't spoken to her friends in a long time. Perhaps they understood, since the journey day by day, the stress was all she felt. The quiet, the little confidence she held gone. She had tried, nervous paws working into the dirt, the worries pushed back- but maybe they held it against her. Maybe in her abyss of thoughts drowning her, she didn't hear them. It had been a long time-

Yet walking beside Quailstep was a reminder of what she failed to keep in the moons. But, today was a bit different. She didn't see the stares when she pulled back through camp that morning, with her fur bright and clean, her eyes distant, but still- it was emanating that something had changed. The deputy took different strides, feeling the weight of her shoulders lighter, as if she let go of a load.

It's been a long time, friend.

"Hey, stay close," she said, voice softer than it had been. "We don't know if the twolegs dragged their mutts with, but we don't wanna find out." It was always good to be careful on this side of the territory. And with all the recent attacks, she didn't want the risk. Her leg throbbed at the thought, but she pushed that away from her mind, inhaling and letting out a soft breath. Small talk was hard, she realized- the social interactions far from her grasp.

"You doing alright lately, Quailstep?" She asked him, green eyes flickering to the other with a soft smile on her lips.

flowercloud - 36 moons - skyclan deputy - mentoring none
 

Something about walking with Flowercloud brought back memories. She and the young deputy had been kits, apprentices, young warriors together - and now Hawkstar and StarClan had called her friend onto a path she could not follow (and truthfully, one she did not envy). It was a sort of polite distance they'd kept lately, since the reinstatement of Flowercloud as deputy, though not by any design of their own. Duty and the code kept them from spending time together in the way they once did - frolicking about the gorge and its lands.

Now, they were in a new, unfamiliar land, one they fought hard to make a place in, and life was different. It made Quailstep's head spin at times, the number of new threats their beloved Clan had to be on alert for.

Luckily, despite everything, Flowercloud was still watching out for her.

She shook her head at the mention of the Twolegs and their dogs, nodding solemnly at Flowercloud's remark.

"Yeah," she breathed. "Seems Twolegs are the same everywhere, huh?" She pads a little closer to her companion, only momentarily taken aback at the next question.

"Oh... Yeah, I suppose I'm alright," she answered, huffing a little laugh along with the response. What else do you want me to say? That even I have doubts about our new home? "It's been a lot to adjust to. But I'm sure there's been a lot more on your mind, huh?"
