private MERRY GO ROUND OF LIFE ࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ bubbleburst

[BEEFANG]

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ The black smoke slips out from the medicine den with both of her tattered ears angled forward to take in the sight of all her clanmates sharing tongues, it seems that there's peace right now and it draws a relaxed breath from her jaws but her paws itch to be out of camp. Her amber eye catches the gray pelt of her dear friend, Bubbleburst, its enough to make her pause in her tracks before approaching in the direction of the tabby and offers a rare, toothy smile that not a lot of cats get to see from her "Hey Bubble," The dark lead warrior greets only to bump her shoulder against the other and stops to see the other molly's reaction before continuing to speak, "You wanna get outta here? I feel if I stick around too long, I'll end up falling asleep." A half-joke considering that Beefang preferred to be on the move and making sure that her duties are completed or her clanmates have some food in their bellies, she thinks about Foxtail for a heartbeat and adds quickly "We could try catching Foxtail some fish, I'm sure that he would appreciate it."

Sure, the older tom had thrown her into the cold river when she had lead a patrol to steal prey from Thunderclan but she could put aside her bitter feelings around that to make sure that the severely injured tom could rest easy knowing that his stomach isn't gnawing at itself from the hunger. Besides, the two-toned lead warrior decided that she could hold off a potential grudge considering that he's a decent tomcat and he meant well, he's levelheaded and reasonable where she's hotheaded and reckless, oh, she wishes that he hadn't gotten injured. Perhaps, she would've learned from him or they eventually, would balance one another. Alas, she'd simply focus on this small task of feeding him and can only hope that Bubbleburst would accompany her "An extra eye and paws would be plenty help." Beefang says at last with a small curt nod of her head only to look to the blue molly once more as her feathery tail swept behind her and kicking up some snow.

[bubbleburst]

〔✦〕In times that have been so turbulent and frozen, Bubbleburst finds the most solace in her friendships with clanmates. Oftenmost, the social butterfly is seen chatting it up on patrols or fluttering around camp in idle conversation while she lends a helping paw to an apprentice or fellow warrior. Bubbleburst is in the middle of a conversation with several clanmates when Beefang approaches. She smiles brightly when the lead warrior bumps her shoulder, her expression a reflection of the other.

She smiles and tips her head. "Of course!" Bubbleburst beams. She says a hurried goodbye to the cats she had been sharing tongues with and stands to leave with Beefang. "I have to prove to myself I can ice fish anyway," she adds, half-joking. Her tail brushes over the snow as she idles for a moment, but the silvery molly is quickly on her way out of camp and headed towards the river in no time.

As the two move as a solitary pair, Bubbleburst glances at Beefang. Her curiosity gets the better of her, and she pries as gently as she can: "This is a really nice gesture, you know?" she pauses "I didn't think you and Foxtail liked each other very much at all. But even if you did..." Bubbleburst pauses again, pushing through some of the thick reeds that have been made tougher by the ice that coats them "...I think you have a good heart."

[BEEFANG]

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ Beefang offers a small nod to those that Bubbleburst had been speaking with only to feel a happy skip in her chest when the blue tabby gives them a hurried goodbye only to join her side as the both of them begin to leave camp behind. Her whiskers twitch in amusement at her half-joke only to sigh quietly with a shake of her head and speaks "It's starting to become a little warmer... soon, it'll be newleaf and we won't need to worry about frozen prey or scrambling on the ice." Although, they would be smarter in avoiding the ice due to the weather not being as unforgiving though prey is still scarce but Riverclan has gone through harsh leaf-bares several times over. This isn't any different but she doesn't linger on the thought for long when Bubbleburst begins to talk again and mentions what they're doing is a nice gesture towards the lead warrior.

"I'll admit that I'm slightly bitter towards him but I don't hate him for what he did, I was in the wrong when I went to steal prey from Thunderclan even if I had good intentions. It hadn't been right of me." She pauses to think over her next words and a certain tortoiseshell passes in her mind as well only to add, "I haven't been fair... to everyone." Her feathery tail flicks behind her as she continues to push forward feeling the reeds lightly touch her scarred form and the next words that fall from the jaws of the molly causes Beefang to pause entirely and her usually narrowed gaze seems to widen, there's a sickly sweet feeling in her gut that she chooses to ignore as she stares at the other for a long heartbeat.

"...I think you have a good heart."

"Uh..." She feels as if she's a fish out of water and swallows trying to expel that odd feeling that makes her feel funny, "I feel like a lot of cats would... disagree with you." A faint, wry smile pulling at her lips knowing that quite a few clanmates of theirs thought her a heartless, frigid brute that simply shouldered through everyone's feelings and thoughts in an uncaring manner. Sometimes, she needed to be just so that she didn't end up drowning in her own and drift away in pitiful regrets, guilt, and so much more that weighed heavily on her scarred shoulders. And yet, the feeling of helping or saving others gave her such a wave of self accomplishment and to be willing in sacrifice herself if it meant being able to extend the lifespan of another. She thinks briefly about Claythorn's kit that she saved during the flooding and then to Foxtail, if it hadn't been for her then he wouldn't be recovering in the medicine den right now.

Beefang shakes her head lightly not expecting Bubbleburst's words to weigh on her like they did and she finally speaks after a long moment of silence "... Thank you." The black smoke presses her shoulder briefly to the others letting their fur brush against each other and her lone eye focuses on the face of her dear friend "You must be rubbing off on me," The lead warrior teases in a lighthearted manner only to glance ahead towards the frozen river then back to her companion, "Where to?" The black and white molly would allow the other to lead her or at least, tell her where would be best to hunt... after the frozen river incident and Brindlepaw confronting her, maybe, it would be best to be even more open-minded than what Lichenstar recommended her to be.

[bubbleburst]

〔✦〕Bubbleburst moves dutifully alongside her friend. She nods quietly in regard to her statements about the incoming change of seasons. Bubbleburst has always been a fan of newleaf. The thought of the pretty birds coming out to sing, the blooming flowers, and the river beginning to teem with life brings a warmth to the young molly's heart. Though she can still admit that she enjoys bareleaf too. After all, this had been the very season almost a year ago that she had somehow managed her very first catch in the frigid. An astonishing feat- albeit somewhat late compared to many of her peers. Bubbleburst has never been one to be faltered by her lack of skills though.

Beefang admits to her bitterness towards Foxtail, and Bubbleburst just feels happy that the lead warrior is open with her. Especially when admitting to a fault. It surprises even Bubbleburst, who tends to only see the good in others. "I suppose not everyone can get along and be friends," she remarks with a small smile "Even if I wish they could." She casts a thoughtful glance over the iced-over portions of the river, reflecting on a few of the 'unsavory' cats she had made nice with over her few moons of living. Even the rushing water seems to have been made sluggish by the cold temperatures.

Bubbleburst giggles at Beefang's awkward pause. She knows not everyone- especially not a rough and tumble cat like Beefang- can take a compliment well, and she handles the stiffness with grace. "Me?" she laughs lightly "Oh, I don't know. I just think there's good in everyone. My mama always said so." The silver tabby moves through the brittle, rattling reeds to make her way to the shoreline. "Still, I don't think I would like you as much as I do if you didn't have lots of goodness in you," Bubbleburst grins at the lead warrior over her shoulder, a certain warmth filling her throat and chest.

"Here," she moves on quickly, trotting towards a spot where the river is thinner and the ice only lines where the loam kisses the water. "I think this is a good spot! Not a lot of ice, and just shallow enough that we should be able to see whatever is darting around down there." She turns to Beefang to make sure that she's followed her, and then comments with a laugh: "When I was an apprentice someone once told me all my talking would scare away all the fishes. Maybe there was some truth to that."

[BEEFANG]

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ Its easy to talk with Bubbleburst especially for a cat that doesn't find herself diving into conversation constantly and well, Beefang didn't usually talk to anyone a lot outside of her brothers and Moonbeam so to find someone else like that... it makes her dull heart feel warm in a weird sense. She listens to the blue tabby talk about how not everyone could be friends of which she nods to in agreement "Maybe... in the future, me and Foxtail will see eye to eye. Although, friendship is a steep slope to scramble through." At least, someone like her anyways, the black smoke isn't one to trust so easily even if someone's her clanmate and it didn't help when Iciclefang had been a respected council member for so long until for her pretty little lie to crumble into several shards and leaf-bare makes everyone hungry as well as snappy... and yet, a part of her still wants to do better and not be as distant to her clanmates especially since she truly cared about her clan with every fiber of her body.

Bubbleburst admits that there's good in everyone or that's what her mother had once told her though its the next words that cause a sickly warmth to form in her belly and chest, that the blue tabby wouldn't have liked her as much if Beefang didn't have lots of goodness in her. The feeling is nauseating and makes her feel lightheaded in a sense as she bites down on her tongue trying to think of how to respond to that, it isn't a bad feeling that washes over her... no, on the contrary, it feels nice and blissful as if she's walking on soft, fluffy clouds. Oh, what a weird and intoxicating feeling that she didn't really know how to feel about aside from swallowing and trying to not stumble on her next words "I'm... glad that you see goodness in me." Especially when I can't see it myself... She thinks knowing that she had believed for the longest time that she needed to be more jagged and stronger if anyone were to ever love her yet what she believed is what's pushing away her clanmates from her.

The black smoke trails along after her friend with her tail lifting in the air like a proud banner and her only good ear angled forward to see what spot the other is talking about, she perks up only to nod "This looks like a great spot," The lead warrior compliments falling silent once more and prepared to hunt or at least, she was until she's distracted once more by the chatter of the blue tabby and can't help the laughter that tumbles out from her own scarred jaws "Fish perhaps... but I enjoy hearing you talk." It doesn't dawn on Beefang until a heartbeat later on what she said and the bicolored moggy finds her face heating up at what she said only to add quickly, "A-and I'm sure that everyone does too! You're great company to be around and a warm, friendly face!" A quick motion of her snowy paw only to settle near the shore swallowing down that burning feeling in her throat and focuses her lone eye on the water trying not to cast her shadow as she clears her throat.

She winces at her earlier words trying not to lose her cool or wince at how cringe she might've seemed to Bubbleburst in that moment and simply scoots to the side to make space for the blue tabby to join her. "I'm sorry if that was awkward... I'm not the best at complimenting others or taking them, ha..." A half-amused trill leaves her as she confesses this to the bubbly molly that sits beside her and blinks her honeyed eye at her, Beefang feels as if fish could slip pass her claws with ease especially with how odd and jittery she feels right now.

[bubbleburst]

〔✦〕Bubbleburst, for a cat who could certainly talk your ears right off, is also a good listener. She nods in agreement with Beefang. And it is true: friendship is not always the easiest thing to forge. Still, she thinks of all the ornery cats she has managed to grow close to over the years. Otterbite (who she still is a bit suspicious of since his incident with Edenberry when they had all been apprentices), Velvetpaw, and to some extent even Beefang, too. "I think so," she hums in agreement, eyes watching the shadows that mosey and dart throughout the river "I think you'll see it through." Bubbleburst flashes another bright smile at the lead warrior- certainly not the first or the last- and then comes to a stop at the fishing spot.

Beefang's stilted acceptance of Bubbleburst's compliment makes the silver-coated molly's chest fill with warmth, but she doesn't say anything. Suddenly, it feels like spring has come early in her heart. As if the shimmering light in her body might be enough to melt all the snow and ice around them. Bubbleburst recognizes that she feels endeared to Beefang, and the feeling only grows when she compliments the fishing spot Bubbleburst has picked for them. "You do?" she lights up (if such a thing were possible for her to do even more) "When I was an apprentice lots of the others used to tell me I was scaring away the prey." Bubbleburst giggles, clearly unbothered by the former comments "It's probably why it took me so long to get my first catch."

Bubbleburst watches Beefang fumble with her own shadow and suppresses a lighthearted laugh. A brief press of a white-tipped paw to her muzzle does the trick. "Oh, no, don't apologize!" she rushes to reply, finally trying to look Beefang in the face with a reassuring expression. "You don't have to be good at that sort of thing. It's the thought that counts." The silvery molly nods and brushes her tail against Beefang's "It means a lot that you'll say anything. Don't worry about making it perfect."

She turns back to the river and leans forward, careful not to cast her shadow over the surface. Bubbleburst fears if she messes up an attempt at hunting now, Beefang might lose any warm and fuzzy feeling she has for her. She almost startles when she realizes this is the first time she might actually care what another cat thinks of her. "Look," she murmurs, trying to distract herself "There's actually fish here today...!"

BEEFANG

SHE/HER 𓆩✦𓆪 LEAD WARRIOR

Beefang nods at Bubbleburst's words about how she'll be able to see it through and a part of her honestly wants to believe it, she thinks further on it deciding that she would try to better herself especially if the silver blue molly saw some goodness in her. What if she lost all interest in being her friend if the lead warrior continued to be cold and jagged to more than just those outside of Riverclan, the thought alone causes her chest to tighten in the slightest and she inwardly winces at the feeling. It makes her realize that a part of her wishes for the approval of the bubbly warrior and her companionship even if she'd be keen to shrug it off had it been anyone else, its a nasueating thought but she swallows it down like a bitter herb simply nodding in silent agreement. She'd make an attempt if it made Bubbleburst a little more happier than she usual is.

"I... I do." She admits when the other asks if she meant it about enjoying how the young warrior seems to talk her ears off and bites down on her tongue unable to help but inwardly wince at how quick she was to answer, "I'm not a very talkative cat and I'm a good listener so, you can talk my ears off all you want. I wouldn't mind it at all." Its said earnestly only to listen to Bubbleburst mention her childhood and Beefang takes a moment to imagine a younger Bubblepaw talking the ears off of her peers and startling the fish, it causes a chuckle to slip out from her scarred throat.

The black smoke feels relief when she's reassured that the compliment didn't need to be perfect and she nods in silent agreement even if she makes a mental note of becoming better at them. Her body tenses slightly when she feels the tail of her friend brush against her own and it causes her face to grow incredibly warm, she swallows shakily unable to stop the way that her ears seem to burn from the contact alone, and subconsciously does her tail brush back in return with the tip of it resting atop of Bubbleburst's tail. "I know... I know. You're just so smooth with yours and I feel like I'm a minnow in a large pool of water."

Her attention shifts when Bubbleburst tells her to look and the black smoke notes the small shadows within the river, a silent nod is given before Beefang makes sure that her shadow doesn't loom over the water. Her snowy dipped paw lifting carefully only to hold in her breath fearful that the fish would hear the way her heart seems to race within her chest or feel the warmth that burns her body so much that it'd melt away the snow.

In a swift movement, her paw dips forward only for her claws to hook onto the gills of the fish before retracting her arm completely so that the fish fell onto the frost covered ground. Beefang doesn't hesitate to perform a killing bite on the small trout and allows it to rest near her side, her tongue licking off the blood from her lips and offers a toothy grin in the direction of Bubbleburst.
