private A Breath of Fresh Air - Marbleleaf

[STONESTRIKE]

Finally, a day with a lull. A mere moment without the pressing weight of just about everything that'd been happening lately. The new warrior found he had nothing to do, for once. What better to do with some free time than to fulfill a commitment. This time, not duty related. His recent promotion hadn't stopped his grind to be better, do more. But even he could (sometimes) recognize a need for a break. He stretched his legs ahead of him as he remembered the conversation he and Marbleleaf had a few moons prior. "Even if it's just to go on a walk," he'd stated. And he intended to do exactly that.

Stonestrike padded his way to the medicine den. "Hey, are you free?" he asked, poking his head inside. There she was, doing something he probably didn't understand, and doing it better than he ever could. He admired her for that. Her sheer strength of will. They were more similar than either of them probably realized. Focusing their strengths in different ways. "I think we're overdue for that walk," he added, a lilt of warmth edging into his tone.

[MARBLELEAF]

MARBLELEAF

SHE / THEY ◆ SHADOWCLAN MEDICINE CAT

Marbleleaf had all but forgotten Stonestrike's promise… and when the stolid gray warrior calls to her from the mouth of her den, she is immediately aflutter with worry. She scents the air, a reflex—and she relaxes when she does not instantly taste iron on the breeze. She slips closer, her fur fluffed up against the wind, and mrrows a greeting, her tail held high. "I'm never free! You know better than that," she purrs, shaking her head in mock-despair.

Still, his invitation is inviting… she tosses a glance over one narrow shoulder, at the vacancies in her den, and nods with some reluctance. "Alright. I guess I can spare myself for a few minutes." She slips past him, quirking her tail in an invitation to follow her. "I forgot… you can be my big, bad warrior escort now. Maybe you can catch me some lunch, too. I haven't eaten since last night." She laughs at the expression on his face—whatever it may be—and makes her way into the mire.

It's warm today, and there's a taste of rain on the wind that invites her to think of newleaf. It puts her in immediate good spirits. "So how's life as a warrior treating you? Did you get a decent spot in the den?" She blinks, well-aware that she's never had to struggle for a nest among her peers… but alternatively, she's slept alone for so many moons now that solitude is second nature.

Marbleleaf is the ShadowClan medicine cat. She is thin, with a short fawn tabby pelt; the base color is a dull, almost-gray slate, and the whorling classic stripes are deeper shades of wet sand. She has white facial markings, chest, and paws, an angular face and build, and moss-colored eyes.
