[RAINWHISKER]

Cats often praised RiverClan land for its beauty. She heard cats chatter about how beautiful their home-island was with the decorated shells and weaved reeds. To a non-seeing cat like Brook, visual beauty meant not a thing. To Brook there were beautiful sounds, beautiful textures, beautiful tastes, but the visual beauty of RiverClan she would never experience. In fact, she'd never understand what it even meant to be visually beautiful.

She has to get away from the talk of decoration and multi-colored shells, for she could not understand it like they could.
No matter, this opened up a window of time to get something the striped she-cat was dreading done. She finds herself at the foot of the leaders den where she knew the River King sat.

"Cicadastar." She says, "May we speak?"

" the man greets, rolling over onto sharp elbows and slowly lifting himself, stretching forepaws out minutely before standing to full height.

may we speak?

it gives him pause, a brief still. the woman had only just returned -- from where, he wasn't sure. the beginnings of dread begins to seep up the lengths of his limbs, nerves prickling at the edges of his mind. to speak with him, alone in his den? the tortoiseshell chimera swallows hard because . . why wouldn't she? the molly did not seem much of an aggressor, so why does panic fizz in his veins? why must he once more stamp down the accumulation of paranoia building a migraine in the back of his skull? one more instance in which his suspicion may or may not be warranted and despite it his head inclines, though she would not see it, " of course. " its even, not quite soft but warm. inherent, the careful wisp of a weary king. he steps to the side, giving her space to settle within the old willow, "please, come in. what can i do for you? "
