DO I LOOK LONEY ♥ lightflower

[SQUIRRELPAW]

Squirrelpaw was still steaming about being scolded by Leafhusk when they went out hunting the next morning. She had only been trying to help Eveningpaw! It was the right thing to do, wasn't it?. Thankfully it was just her and Lightflower today, she wasn't feeling in the mood to be pleasant with her clanmates. None if it made sense to her, really. Of course she knew that there was a warrior code that stated you weren't allowed to be mates with someone from another clan, and she understood how that kind of situation could get tricky. But it didn't say anywhere in the code that you couldn't be friends with someone from another clan, or at the very least be nice when you saw them. In fact, she liked some of the apprentices she'd met in their neighboring clans even more than some certain Thunderclan apprentices she was forced to get along with. It was all so frustrating.

The blue torbie paused as she and her mentor walked along side by side, the forest changing colors all around them. She turned to Lightflower suddenly, her expression unusually tense. "Lightflower," she mused quietly, looking lost in thought. "Why is it bad to have friends in another clan? I don't get it." Squirrelpaw furrowed her brow, a frown tugging at her features but she made herself continue walking once more. Perhaps this was a question she should be asking her mother instead, but she thought that maybe her kind-hearted mentor would understand her impulses a little bit better. It didn't seem like Flamestar ever had the desire to be anything more than civil to the cats they met at the border. "Wouldn't things be so much better if we were all kind to one another? It doesn't make sense that we have to dislike the other clans just because they don't live in the same place as us."

❝ it's gonna hurt for a bit of time ❞​

Squirrelpaw had been uncharacteristically quiet today. Lightflower didn't know really what to do about it. Emotional intelligence wasn't exactly her area of expertise. She figured if her apprentice wanted to talk about it, she would. As they moved along through the territory, she was proven right. Squirrelpaw's question resonated with her. She felt the same way as an apprentice, and to a certain extent, still did. She didn't understand the conflict. The clans were made within recent memory, how could there be such a divide already?

Lightflower sighed. "There's nothing wrong with having friends in other clans. The only problem that might come up is if you see your friend in battle." she explained. As they started walking again, the young warrior felt a weight sit upon her shoulders. "Honestly, I agree with you. I think the fighting and separation does us no good. But StarClan formed after the Great Battle and told us to be five clans." she didn't have an answer for why the Great Battle happened to begin with. Her parents hadn't taught her and Roeflame focused more on recent history with her.
