no angst SHE'S SUMMERTIME [ ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. ] GREEN-LEAF JOY

[Starlingheart]

Green-leaf is upon them. Starlingheart can feel it in the air, the warm breeze that trickles its way into her den disturbing the stillness, can see it when she walks outside and looks up to see a sky that is brilliant in it's shade of blue. It looked.. so much lighter. She has to blink a couple of times to get used to it, the sunlight filtering in between the trees, but as the warmth hits her face and heats her dark pelt, a smile actually curls at the corners of her lips. Real, genuine peace. It catches her off guard how good she feels in this moment and she almost wants to take the feeling back as guilt crashes into her and threatens to knock her off her paws. How could she be happy right now? With Magpiepaw gone, her daughter still missing, and her ex mate still out there picking off cats one by one? But she is, and tears start to build up in the corner of her lonely eye and then, before she can stop herself, she is laughing. Laughing even as water stains her cheeks and then she is sobbing and she doesn't know if she is laughing or crying anymore. Was there really a difference?

"Im so-sorry I'm okay-I'm okay I-I swear" she says to whatever concerned clanmate had come to check on her, reaching up with a snow capped paw to wipe the tears away as she returns her attention to the sky, green eye glowing with the joy that threatens to overwhelm her in its ferocity. "It's just-just so nice out today" she says, her voice coming out as little more than a breath as she takes in the jewel-toned sky, drinks in the sweet air. Her belly is full, her pelt warm, and it's the best she has felt in a long time.

[MARBLEPAW]

Feelings are complicated. Marblekit is beginning to understand this, that the heart can be two things at once. Betonyfrost can miss her daughter and curse Marblekit with the same breath; she can miss Siltcloud and fear becoming like her, can miss the touch of her feathery tail and despise the claws who took lives and struck fear into ShadowClan's heart. She watches her aunt Starlingheart with wide, round green eyes, watches laughter crack into sobs, and understands, intrinsically, how it has happened.

"It is nice out today," she offers, her voice quiet. Starlingheart's single leafbud eye brims with unshed silver tears. "Auntie Starl... did you need anything? I can get you some prey, or..." She stumbles, falters. "Or we can just sit here. I don't mind." Perhaps that's the best thing she can do, she decides... is sit with her kin and enjoy the warm sun kissing the pale fur on the top of her head.

[CHILLEDSTAR.]

chilledstar certain wonders if anyone truly means it when they say they're okay. they have to take starlingheart's word for it. poor kid's been constantly losing as much, if not more, than she was gaining. she's been through quite a lot more than any cat gives her credit for and she's still here. they don't wanna say she's stronger for it because it's not as if she was training for this. she did not choose all of the hardship that came with life. it just so happened she pulled the short straw a lot more than she should have. but she was still here. and the fact that she still could laugh was good enough for now.

the leader listens to the way she laughs, sobbing because her joy is so overwhelming. they don't know the last time they felt like that. maybe never. perhaps they never would. but they don't wanna think about that. they stretch their body out and roll on the ground, belly up towards the suns rays, purring loudly as their tail swished back and forth.

"just sitting here sounds nice. stars know we all deserve a break sometimes."

[sneezepaw]

Born in the height of leaf-fall, Sneezepaw had never experienced the wonders of greenleaf. It is hot, sure, but it is beautiful. The sunsets, later than ever before, are stunning, and he finds that the hum of Greenleaf insects is easy to fall asleep to.

The apprentice was basking in some sun-warmed spot when he heard a strange mix of cry and laughter from the medicine cat's den. Sneezepaw had seen firsthand the rot of Starlingheart's den, how far she had let herself go in her grief - it broke his heart. Now, alarm courses through his veins as he rushes over to investigate the cause of the sobbing - laughing? Sobbing? Whatever it was..

But she is okay, much to his relief, and an uneasy smile settles upon his maw. "It is beautiful out," he agrees. It was always nice when the sun was shining, when the breeze carried the scents of summer through the air. Marblekit and Chilledstar are there too, the latter already stretching out across the rays of sun, and Sneezepaw feels inclined to resume his sunbathing right here. "Do you.. mind if I join you? Looks relaxing.." he asks shyly; to Marblekit and Chilledstar of course, but more importantly, to Starlingheart. Would she be receptive to their company?

[Snowlark.]

[ ༻❄༺ ] This would be Snowpaw's first green leaf as well, and truth be told it was breathtaking, almost as stunning as the first fall of snow that dotted the land during leaf-bare, even if it had brought harshness to it, perhaps it had been a good thing to be born during harsher time since it toughened him up enough and prepared him for the cruelty that the marsh brought with it. From what it seems, he wasn't the only one enjoying this weather, Starlingheart had a mix of emotions going though her and perhaps it was a good thing to experience those emotions especially when the medicine cat had gone through so much over the moons, she lost so much and he only hopes the other gained more than what was taken.

Silently he approached the forming group, the sun's ray reflecting off his pale fur as he found himself standing next to Sneezepaw while inhaling the warmth of the air, feeling the nice breeze that rustled the trees-ears twitching while he listened to the birds sing their joyful songs, blissful of the return of green-leaf. "Today is...breathtaking. Just like the first fall of snow... or the first rainfall of new leaf. I hope we get more of these kinds of days" he meowed softly, giving soft greetings to Marblekit and Chilledstar, who both were now relaxing in the rays of the sunlight. "May I join you as well? The more the merrier" he said gently.
