camp ❆ IT'S BEEN SO GOOD THIS YEAR ☁ Short post thread!

[VIPERPAW]

*+:｡.｡ Viperpaw's shivers literally stirr him awake. Despite curling up close to his sisters, there was simply no amount of protection against the frost that blanketed Windclan's open camp ground. For once, though, the boy didn't mind, as he blinked sleep from his eyes in time to notice a little white thing flutter to rest atop his nose. "Woah..." he whispers, hushed with awe, before tilting his chin up to watch more flakes decent from the sky, dancing lazily on their path down from the heavens, "beautiful"

[SOOTSPOT]

Lemon-green eyes squint at the darkness, feeling cold and uncomfortable things bop against his nose and ears every few seconds. He shivered each time the snow fell upon him, positively isolated within the camp, hearing naught but the whistle of wind and the whisper of his apprentice. A ripple ran down his spine, whether it be from cold or frustration, Sootspot could not discern for himself. "WindClan has been truly blessed this Leafbare." His tail swept away settled snowflakes. "To be able to appreciate something once so vile is... admirable. Let us hope the rest of our moons are like this."

[laurelpaw]

Laurelpaw is disturbed by her brother's violent shivering at her side, lifting her head just enough to squint groggily in the light. She had half a mind to shoulder him in irritation… though, she guesses she can hold back, as reward for his choosing to whisper, rather than announce his glee to all four corners of the moor. Blinking away the vestiges of sleep, the tortoiseshell turns her face skyward to view the flakes drifting their way down from the clouds, only to inadvertently catch one on her nose, the sudden freezing causing her to jerk a paw up to it and fight back a sneeze. "Yeah, blessed," she complains, eyes clamped shut.

[cottonsprig]

Cottonsprig shivers as she returns to camp, her silver pelt dusted with snow. She had been on an aimless stroll, her mind wandering when the snow began to fall - and to her credit, she made her way home as soon as she could. She shakes out her pelt upon arrival, but given the lack of overhead cover, it doesn't take long for her to be coated again.

She walks passed the warriors and apprentices, a gentle grin in her expression. "Wow, Sootspot. I didn't think you could be so nice about something...!" she teases, tail lashing behind her.

[SPARROWBREEZE]

They are lucky, for this. They are lucky for soft-falling flakes to be in their presence, for the threat of another blizzard to be nowhere found in the dark night. It is still cold against Sparrowbreeze's pelt, but it's nothing new these days, the warrior knows. A tired gaze watches as her clanmates do, a small shiver coursing through her as she curls further into her nest for warmth. It's pretty, she agrees with a silent nod.

" It could be worse, " the she-cat murmurs, a yawn following suit. It could always be worse.

[downyfur]

Large ears twitch with the twinkle of falling snow and the awed mutters of clanmates. Near them, Sparrowbreeze echoes their thoughts, stubbornly seeing the worst of it despite even Sootspot conjuring something positive about it. We can only appreciate the snow from the vantage point of our warm nests, they think, eyes shifting to Viperpaw and the rest of Snakehiss' leftovers. You've never been through a harsh Leafbare. Downyfur wouldn't be the one to sour the mood though. "Well, I'm glad you all are so appreciative..." she mrrs instead, pushing her nose deeper into the fluff of her tail.​

 

[JAYKIT]

No matter how pretty snow might be, its chill is enough to squash that wonder in Jaykit. His short fur puffs out against the cold morning air. Which doesn't provide him much insulation, unlike his long-furred clanmates. This frigid season makes him wish he'd been born with a thick coat like Cottonsprig or Downyfur...

"I don't want the rest of our moons to be this cold," Jaykit pipes up, shooting Sootspot a glare for daring to suggest such a thing. It could be worse, Sparrowbreeze says. But this is still terrible weather. He can't wait for Newleaf to arrive, when the days grow warmer and the prey comes out of hiding, according to the older cats of the clan.

[Wasppaw]

I love you, and if you want, I'll call you King

Stifling a laugh at Cottonsprig's comment - really jab- at Sootspot, Wasppaw pressed closer to her siblings. Her eyes remained closed though she was fully awake. She was finding it hard to sleep in the colder moons, preferring the warmth of the sun and sounds of green leaf. Like Jaykit, her short pelt didn't really afford her the energy to bask in the 'wonders of Wind Clan' as Sootspots' did.
"The sun will come...eventually." She sighs, attempting to assure the gray kitten that it would be alright. "Best to try and sleep until it does."

But why do I lie awake each night thinking

[CELANDINEPAW]

Lazy snowfall had been a welcome pivot from the early season's temper, as though it rested heavily upon sluggard shell once it had exhausted itself with its wrath, a finite and ultimately futile fate. The weather was much like a living being, in some respect - it could thrash and bite and gnaw all it wanted, but Celandinepaw knew that the darkest nights eventually splayed out more tender days as it died out. The cold always remained, though the medicine cat apprentice knew it was a given for leaf-bare. "It's better than it was before." The molly breathed out white smoke as she sat near the gathered bodies. She usually did not sleep outside (of which she was more than grateful for), but tonight seemed much gentler than the others that winter granted them. "Besides, it's not every season you get snowflakes." She added.

  CELANDINEPAW & SHE / HER & 17 MOONS
  

  —— Medicine Cat Apprentice of Windclan / Mentored by Cottonsprig
  —— A shorthaired, wheat-yellow spotted tabby with yellowish-green eyes. Somewhat pudgy, though lean and able to hold her ground in the wild. Broad-shouldered and tall compared to her smaller clanmates, she stands out through a Windclan crowd.
  —— Outgoing and terribly saccharine, she is a friendly and affable face in Windclan. Though ditzy and cowardly, she tries her best to help her clan as one of their healers. She is prone to outbursts when spurned or stressed. She also tends to follow her own personal code and will often go for a safe, painless option.
  —— Penned by Tempest. Contact on Discord (naruk4mi) for plots and threads.
