pafp EVOLVE OR REPEAT [✿] branch


✿—— she's padding along, having fallen in with a offshoot of their group consisting partly of cats she doesn't know—and one she wishes she didn't. the pale mass of fur that had been sitting near little wolf as everyone said their goodbyes. one of two cats who blazestar had looked over her head at, fixed bruise-blue eyes on even as she spoke with him. the memory of stumbling away with unshed tears clouding her vision twists her heart and she pushes it down, chiding herself. stop acting like a kit, she thinks with a grit of her teeth, training her eyes on the path ahead—until suddenly the path ahead is gone.

well, not gone, exactly, but a fallen branch blocks it. for a larger warrior, it'd be something easily shoved out of the way and forgotten, but bobbie's quick shove of a shoulder yields little. not for the first time, she curses her smaller frame, pushing at it again. it doesn't budge, and while she could just go around it, she's fearful of straying from the group and becoming lost in the small tract of woods they're travelling through. a glance sideways reveals that leafier trees than she's used to wall off the path, and she'd much rather stick to the group. another glance reveals the only cat who's both close enough and large enough to help move it is .... the pale-furred stranger.

"um, do you think you could...." after a quiet sigh, she nods to the branch, hoping he'll catch her drift about using his hefty frame to supplement her own shoves. inhaling, she adds, "just - i don't want to leave the group to go around it, could you-?"

Hailstorm had kept with most of the Thunderclanners but sometimes found himself wandering a little further than just the Thunderclanners but he's mindful of not bumping into anyone since there was still tensions present, with ears perked up, he had simply been briefly speaking with one of his clanmates before a smaller voice grabs his attention. His warm gaze focusing on Bobbie and slowly registering her words until his eyes shift to the sight of the branch that Bobbie was trying to push but didn't seem to budge. Any other cat probably would've refused and been stubborn enough to go around but Hailstorm's built different in form and demeanor, he offers her a quick smile and nod "I can," His pale fur pressing against the bark of the branch as he comes to the tabbys aid.

And just as she suspected, it was a lot easier to push the branch out of the way with the two of them. Hailstorm using his powerful back legs to shove the fallen tree branch from their original path and he can't help but glance at Bobbie once more, not once has his eyes focused on the collar around her throat but simply seems more interested in her as an indvidiual. Why should a piece of leather alienate someone from the rest of the warriors on the trip? The snowy warrior gave one last hefty shove to the branch and stepped back with a curt nod "There!" He seems content with what they both accomplished and was practically beaming but it makes him realize one thing.

He had no idea what her name was and she likely didn't even know his, completely unaware that the sight of him and Little Wolf Wolf with coats pressed to one another at the gathering had caused a rather tragic farewell for Bobbie and Blazestar. Had he known maybe he could've offered an awkward but confused apology but for now, he'd remained as that mountain of pale fur that had been a little too close to someone's ex mate. "I'm Hailstorm by the way, I don't think I caught your name earlier." His voice sincere and warm as he speaks to her with a grin beginning to tug at the edge of his mouth.

FIGFEATHER

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Figfeather wasn't terribly far behind Bobbie. Her steps were slow but steady, though her maw was open in a pant. They're merely a day into the journey and it already was proving more difficult than she had imagined... Keeping up with the group was proving to be a task, luckily, they seemed to remain mindful about not losing her in their dust.

Hailstorm and Bobbie's efforts to remove the branch aid more than just themselves, Figfeather is grateful she does not have to waste energy moving around it. Naturally she ends up merely behind the two older warriors, she meows a polite "Thank you."

The tunneler has found themself stalking along beside a similarly small she-cat. She’s the same SkyClanner who Scorchstreak had snapped at for dawdling before, the one only recognizable by the collar around her neck. At first the scarred calico had been wary of her, knowing the strength of well-fed house cats all too well, but Bobbie seems friendly enough, if not a bit of an airhead. And so Scorchstreak slows, stops, when they come across a branch across their path. They are severely lacking in power and size, and so when Bobbie turns to ask a large tom for help, blazing eyes also shift to him.

The tree branch is no match, of course, for the pale-furred warrior, and soon enough their path is clear. The tom introduces himself as Hailstorm—an interesting name, though one the tunneler is certain to forget as soon as they go to sleep tonight. Their head is too filled with thoughts of the look on Badgermoon’s face as he named their calico daughter, or the way that Curlewnose had pressed himself against her in comfort whilst she laid in the nursery. Brushing over the thanks that the younger SkyClanner offers, they add, "We should keep you within earshot, hm?" Their tone is light, joking, but they do consider it. Having a big, powerful warrior nearby to do the heavy lifting for them could be useful if this sort of situation comes up again.
