YOU KEEP THE SUNSHINE,
SAVE ME THE RAIN​

He was pretty sure it was safe to say that Junco was pissed at him. His brother hadn't been all that keen on running away to the forest, and Soma supposed this was his siblings way of punishing him. The younger tom had refused to leave camp since they'd arrived, hiding himself away in the apprentices den with all the antisocial animosity they could muster. Normally Soma would try and reign in his siblings attitude, but quite frankly they both needed some time to unpack everything that had happened.

It had been an executive decision on Somas part for them to leave the shelter. They'd been caught up in the system for months being bounced from home to home, and the large black and white tomcat knew that sooner or later they'd be separated. It was easier to place a smaller, younger cat like Junco in a home, where as Soma? He was getting older, practically an adult now, and he couldn't risk being seperated from the other cat. He'd already lost one sibling, he sure as hell wasn't about to lose another.

With the shelter no longer an option for them, Soma had been forced to consider other options. They could always return to the streets of twoleg place, a life that he was familiar with but that was far from ideal. Junco was a difficult cat to keep out of trouble and Soma had a feeling he'd be ending more fights with his claws than his words if he ended up letting his brother run around twoleg place freely, because he sure as hell wouldn't tolerate anyone trying to harm the other.

Thus, Skyclan had been the obvious choice. A place where the cats looked after each other, a place where Junco would be kept safe and looked after if anything ever happened to Soma. It was the ideal situation even if the other hated him for it.

Today though, a break was in order. The tuxedo tomcat had spent his days being schooled in classes on culture and hunting and borders, and quite fucking frankly he needed a break from it. Which was how he'd ended up slipping out of camp into the pine forest beyond. He was hardly familiar with the place, having never stepped foot in a forest before joining up with the clan, but it didn't seem to deter him at all. He did take special care to stay out int he open though, not wanting to find himself in the grasp of another trap.

This was a path he'd known since he was an apprentice. It was a familiar, lightly treaded pack-dirt trail inbetween the pines. It was a place he'd come to ruminate often. It is where the sandy tabby stood now, just looking out into the forest, taking in its great size. It'd made him feel small then and how woefully small he felt now. In just a few days, he had managed to turn his life upside down. Bananasong avoided him like he had greencough but he'd made a breakthrough, he hoped, with his apprentice at least. It felt like so much, and being out here and feeling small helped that feeling dissipate.
Pawsteps caught his attention and his dull gold gaze was hopeful for a moment as he strained to see the source of the noise.

A tuxedo tom had somehow found his way into his neck of the woods and Pigeonsong recognized him as one who had escaped from the shelter. His name was lost on a weary mind but he manages a friendly call.
"Hey, don't panic or anything, I'm a SkyClanner." The words rang true, he was a SkyClanner but that's all he felt like right now. He'd wanted more than that and now he was out here alone again.

"I'm Pigeonsong." He'd mew, beckoning the other to come closer so that he wouldn't have to yell.
