LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REST ♡ lightflower

[Palefire]

This was long overdue. Palefire would hesitate to admit it, but she was struggling a bit with seeing Lightflower and Lovelight so happy together. Which was completely insane, because they were both very dear to her and she could not be more thrilled that they had found happiness with one another. It just... reminded her of what she had once thought could also be hers. What she had lost before it had even really belonged to her.

It was difficult not to feel just a little bitter, whenever she saw Badgerstripe playing with her kittens, or Lightflower affectionately embracing her mate. There had been a time, not long ago, when Palefire had wanted that for herself. It seemed so far out of her reach now; perhaps she just needed to accept that her duty was to her clan, and that would have to be enough.

The lynx-point tracked down her closest friend after returning from a hunting patrol, a scrawny starling hanging limply from her jaws. Lightflower was getting ready to head back into the warrior's den when Palefire quickened her pace, greeting the silver tabby with a gentle nudge to the shoulder with her forehead. She gestured silently to an empty corner of camp, where she soon made herself comfortable.

The warrior placed the bird upon the ground and used a paw to push it over to her companion, an unreadable smile playing at the edges of her mouth. "It's been a while since we've had a chance to talk," she purred softly, shifting her weight so that she was resting on her side. "I wanted to officially congratulate you. On becoming mates with Lovelight." She was relieved at the sincerity she heard within her own voice. "It's about time, too. You guys have obviously been pining after one another." Teasing, but also truthful. Anyone with eyes could see that they were in love.

❝ swinging in the rain humming melodies ❞​

Though her ear tips were numb from the cold, she couldn't possibly pass up some overdue chatting with Palefire. She settled in close to her friend, appreciating the fluffiness of her fur. (While Lovelight was wonderful to cuddle with, neither of them were very equipped for winter, in that sense.) She gratefully accepted a bite of the starling. It wasn't necessarily warm anymore, but at least it wasn't half frozen. She listened as she chewed the meat, a warmth rising to her face. "Definitely," she agreed.

"Oh stars," she giggled, pushing the bird back toward Palefire, "we were that awful?" her tone was light. She hadn't taken offense to Palefire's distance for the past few weeks. While they had both been busy, it wasn't hard to deduce the tension that she clearly held. Thankfully it seemed to have mostly dissipated. Lightflower wouldn't bring it up if her friend didn't. But she would be there to talk if she wanted. "Well, thank you," she mewed softly. She looked down to her paws briefly. "It's nice to finally feel like myself again,"
