Finding the right words had been an arduous task, one meant for someone who had more eloquence or patience.... someone with any ounce of charisma that she simply wasn't born with. It was a skill that could be taught but she was far too old to start back-pedaling against her nature now. Derisive, quick decision were made like a snake striking prey- she had chosen her opinions and stuck by them with brutal honesty. It tended to rub anyone the wrong way to be confronted with their failures, with the things about them that frustrated others... even critique in its gentlest fashion could feel like claws wrapped around the wrong cat's throat.
The blue point hoped maybe that (in vain) this would be something that could go over easily... that maybe it would result in a type of bond that two lead warriors probably needed to work together. Snakeblink was so much more passive than the tabby she was prepared to speak to and Cindershade well....
Maybe she had some biases.
Dragging herself towards the warrior's den early that morning, Lichentail could already hear the voice of Ravenpaw chewing her out for wandering around and getting involved and being a general nuisance to his efforts to help and heal. This was important though and she would be damned if Petalnose went a day thinking she was better than her.
"Petalnose," her greeting was flat, lacking the intimacy of friendship simply because they hardly knew each other (did Petalnose really know anyone anymore?), flicking her tail to draw her out of the gathered warriors still resting as they waited for time to pass and patrols to begin. "I've got something to settle with you."
Ah... too harsh... to threatening maybe? Try another..
Clearing her throat she raised her head slightly despite the way it pulled at sore muscles in her neck, "I mean... Let's talk."
