Dawn bleeds into the night. The sun had not yet rose from it's blanket but midnight blue had turned into a lilac. Soon the sky would turn orange and yellow to wake the entire forest but for now only the insomniacs and early birds rose.
Figfeather had not been able to sleep. Her eyelids weighed heavy against her eyes and she had spent the night tossing and turning. Moments of sleep had found her here and there but quickly they had fleeted, leaving her to the sound of her den-mate's breathing. At last she could not take it anymore and got onto her paws for the day and prayed to StarClan she would not fall asleep on whichever patrol she was assigned to for today.
The day prior had been rough. Twitchbolt was reinstated as SkyClan's deputy, a choice she had supported Orangestar in once, but the second time left her feeling bitter. Why? Why? Why? Echoed in her mind, a question she could not answer.
A shadow appears at the edge of the medicine cat's den. Piercing yellow eyes peering out to watch as the clan awoke. Figfeather recognizes from the torn ears it is @SLATE . The two never had been on sharing-tongues terms, there had been a time where Figfeather had been merely a 'paw and the large tom-cat a lead warrior, but somehow now she stood his superior. Still, she had deep rooted respect for the stone-faced warrior and cautiously approaches him.
"Shouldn't you be resting?" Figfeather offers a faint smile. Dawnglare and Firefly must have their paws tied getting him of all cats to settle down. She doesn't want to know what the bickering matches that had to occur sounded like.
