"Do you really have to go?" the words are murmured quietly into red and black fur, said in a pause while grooming her friends shoulder blades. The whine in her voice almost makes her sound like an indignant kit, desperate for mothers attention but Bluepool does not care. "It'll be dangerous, and we may need you here..." I may need you here.
Scorchstreak volunteering to leave had made Bluepool sad in a way she didn't really understand. Since when had she grown to care for her fellow lead warrior so much. Since when did she feel so protective over her, like she had to watch over her and keep her safe from harm? Scorchstreak is as capable as the next cat, she knows, but who would be watching her back out there? Surely not her former apprentice, for as much as she would love to pretend otherwise he just wasn't a fighter. Rattleheart perhaps but Bluepool did not know the tom well enough to place her faith into him. The rest are pretty much children only a few pawsteps away from the nursery.
Bluepool hates this, this feeling of helplessness that has settled over her. She must sit here and wait for the days to waste away before her friend leaves, possibly never to return. Only a couple more days... She is just glad to have little moments like this in between and she is glad Scorchstreak had found the time to share tongues with her today. Every moment spent with her is a prescious resource now.
