private STAY UNTIL YOU’RE DEAD [✨] Lupinesong

[FIGFEATHER]

Figpaw had wanted to be the best climber there ever was. An ambitious feat to accomplish in a clan known for transversing the trees, but a feat she had been on the right path to achieving. She had been a natural under Tallulahwing, soaring the trees, hopping from branch to branch, even hunting in them well before she was expected to. She took pride in being ahead of most other apprentices, pride in knowing she was being the very best cat she could be, until it happened.

Sometimes the tabby gets nightmares of being underneath the monster again. Sometimes, she thinks about the sound of her bones snapping and the feeling of numbness as the cold took over. By some miracle, Tallulahwing, Daisyflight, and Twitchbolt had found her and brought her home. Dawnglare mended her infection that had set in… and in two moons she was at last allowed to get back to her duties.

The pain she had endured hadn’t been the worst thing, nor the fact she now was burdened with the weight of a near useless leg. No. The worst thing about all of it had been she could no longer climb. Without the strength of two back legs, Figfeather could no longer propel herself up trees. Slowly, she had come to terms with this and instead placed her dreams on her apprentices. She had hoped it for Wolfpaw, and now she hopes it for Daisypaw.

Figfeather recalls how to climb, she could explain it verbally, instruct from the ground, sure. But it’d never be the same as having a mentor up in the trees with you… or as safe. That’s why today she looks to a young warrior, apprenticeless with time on their paws. If they were willing, she could help her shape Daisypaw into the greatest climber in the forest.

”Lupinesong.” Figfeather greets the warrior who she had found sitting in the sun. ”You’re a good climber. I’ve seen you in the trees many times before. If you’re up to it, I could use your help with something.”

[LUPINESONG]

❀‿ Lupinesong was not a natural at climbing—as a kitten she had been clumsy-limbed and meek, too scared to fail to properly dig in her claws and hoist herself up the intimidating trunks of Skyclan's pines. It was Cherrypaw who cheered her on, shouting a bit of confidence into her, for Lupinepaw to drum up the courage to perch herself upon a branch for the first time. Now, after moons of practice, she had become a half-decent climber and tree-hunter, but if asked she would insist that she was far from an example of peak Skyclan-warrior performance.

Lupinesong blinks to attention at the mew of her name, hoping she didn't look like she was too blatantly just loafing around camp when there were probably many productive things she could have been doing instead. Figfeather's words make her a bit sheepish, a compliment coming from the Lead Warrior warming a purr from her chest as she got up to her paws to stretch.

"Oh, Figfeather, I'm flattered you think so. It's high praise coming from the judgment of one of the clan's best hunters," She smiled, happy to return a pleasantry, before dipping her head to preemptively accept whatever favor it was Figfeather needed, "Of course, I'd be happy to help however I can, what is it?"
