pafp BURSTING AT THE SEAMS ⁀➷ gift

[FALLOWBITE]

ˏˋ*⁀➷　"Hey, Antler," Fallowpaw calls, having set a tangle of plants just within the mouth of camp. She spots her sister fairly quickly, waves her over. Golden eyes blink down at the find, and she tries not to feel awkward. This is her sister, after all.

"I, uh." She nudges the plants with a paw. A tangle of leaves, vines, and tiny blossoms, with bright bursts of red fruits. Strawberries; it's her first time seeing them. Her youth was a cold time, and things like this feel like a treasure still. "Found these. Thought you might like 'em." Who better to give them to? Antlerpaw's nightmare weighs heavy upon her heart, and she could use something to cheer them up.

She'd taken a bite of one in her own fascination, but that had been left behind. She raises her eyes back up to meet her sister's gaze, offering a rare and tired smile. "They're sweet. 'N pretty, like you are." I love you, remains unsaid. I hope you're okay and I know you're not, suffer the same fate. Instead, she offers a simple gift of strawberries, and hopes that they will suffice. She's never been much good with words anyway.

[antlerbreeze]

Antlerpaw had been weaving some material into the dens when her name was called. Ears twitched, the apprentice turning to look towards her sister. A smile found her face at the familiar face, padding over to what her sister has collected. "Hey." She called, vision turning towards what Fallowpaw had collected. Orange eyes widened softly, observing the tangle of leaves and blooms.

Red fruit blushed again green leaf, soft in the light of the ravine. Her ears warmed as her sister gifted her something, and a smile spread over her face. "They're really pretty, Fallowpaw." She hummed, and looked up as her sister traded back the statement. The smile spread further, and she stepped in, pressing her shoulder to her sister's own, careful of the bundle of fruit between them. "Thank you. I appreciate it."

Antlerpaw heard the unspoken, eyes soft in return to Fallowpaw's intentions. She shifted, settled over the bundle of fruit. With careful and methodical claws, she cut parts of the vine, draping and weaving it into the fur beneath her ear, across her shoulders, leaves stuck here and there. Eyes lifted towards Fallowpaw with silent hope, wondering if her sister would accept what she did with her gift. And if she did, she took one of the few white blossoms and stepped to her sister, rocking back onto her haunches and settling it into the fur on her face.

[Smokefur]

Smokepaw had been helping Antlerpaw make repairs to the dens. A job for apprentices...a job that he shouldn't be doing anymore. But, here he was, still an apprentice and under Ravenstrike's command for the time being. He just had to be quiet and go along with whatever seemed to please Howlingstar. All he wanted was freedom...he could hunt and fight just as well as any other clanmate, his mentor had made sure of it. But what use were those skills if he couldn't use them? What good does sitting here patching holes do? He should be out there, protecting their boarder from thieves and trespassers. The elders and queens could fix these puny holes, it's not like they could leave the camp.

Fallowpaw's voice brought him from his concentration, and he looked over to see her carrying vines and fruit in her jaw. The affection that the sisters showed towards each other made him...uncomfortable. His ear twitched, and he looked away back to the hole. He couldn't imagine bringing flowers back for his brother. Getting close to anyone just sets you up for hurt. He didn't dare speak his thoughts. They could figure it out when that time came...because someday it would. It always came. Just like it had for his parents. I'll never be hurt again. "Pretty." the tom said blandly, returning to his work. The faster he finished, the faster he could leave.

[sunshinespot]

Sunshinespot, oddly enough, never thought about gifting his siblings trinkets. They were each, in their own way, loveable fools with cotton between their ears if anything at all. Maybe Emberpaw would have enough of a mind to discern proper gifts for each of their siblings... Or Pigeonpaw would simply throw rocks in each of their directions and call it a day. The new warrior wouldn't even think about how their elder siblings managed, if they managed at all.

The tortoiseshell lazily watches as berries are strung through tanned fur, and a white blossom is gifted in return. It's sweet enough to make his teeth hurt, but Sunshinespot doesn't complain. If anything, he mimics Smokepaw's sentiment, "They really are," although without the forlorn sarcasm, if any could be licked from the grey tom's tone. The mottled warrior debates standing and joining the sisters, but he's much less eager to learn of the whereabouts of the strawberries in the forest. If StarClan wills it, he'll find them on his own time.

"You'll have'ta lay out th'flowers in th'sun, so they keep for longer," he purrs, hoping to be of help to the sisters.​

 

[FALCONHEART]

𓍊𓋼 Watching other siblings interact always reminds him of his own sister, and Falconheart feels his stomach flip anytime he thinks of her. Her bravery as she’d left ThunderClan to go on a dangerous mountain journey, and her return had been anything but a relief. First, cats had returned telling of her injuries, her delay—and when she’d finally returned alongside their mother, she couldn’t walk. Stormfeather, forever changed, had drifted away from him over the months… and Falconheart is left looking for her every so often before realizing that she doesn’t stand beside him anymore.

Dual-toned eyes are soft as the tom observes Fallowpaw and Antlerpaw. The former offers a plant to its sister, saying something he can’t hear, and the cream tabby tom pads over to get a closer look. Smokepaw seems disinterested, merely muttering a comment on Antlerpaw’s decorating before returning to whatever he’d been doing before, but Falconheart offers his own opinion readily. "That looks nice," he offers to the cinnamon she-cat, his tone as cheerful as he can muster through the strain of concern.
