I Will Finish This Topic

So, it was just another night. Thrushpaw was bored. He hadn't been able to get out for training. Ever since his father had... well, gone, he had no one to train him. In some ways, he felt that he was missing a part of him, but at the same time, he wasn't really familiar with his father, so he couldn't get himself to feel worked up. The vigil was sad, and he felt terrible, but nothing like his mother who was completely devastated. He had never seen her out if sorts like that. It was even worse that she wouldn't come out of the warrior's den. He hadn't seen anything of her for nights...

With a heavy sigh, he sulked through the camp. What could he do? He went and picked up a frog and began batting at it with his paws, but he couldn't bring himself to eat it. After staring at it for a few minutes, he finally pushed it away and set his head on his paws. He didn't even look up to hear who was coming towards him when he began hearing paws on the ground near him.

Hailpaw, who's been watching the Tom for some time now, he decided it was time to go say hello to him. He wasn't too sure it was a good idea, but hey, worth a shot right?

Hailpaw got up and yawned, flickering his half-folded ears. He lightly stepped to the Tom, making sure he wouldn't make him jump. "Hey, you seem upset..." He said, sitting down next to Thrushpaw. "What's the matter?" He lowered his upper-half of his body to look at him.

As soon as he heard the voice, Thrushpaw finally turned around to see Hailpaw walking towards him. With a casual shrug, the tom went right back to staring at his frog. He didn't really know what was going on. He was upset, but at the same time he was just kind of feeling normal. It bothered him... "Nothing really. I'm just tired of sitting around here without training. It's been a long time and I haven't even been out of camp!" He grumbled while everything rushed around in his head at once.

Hailpaw looked up to the stars. "Ah, I understand." He flickered his tail. "And why can't you just go for a walk with a random cat now...?" He asked.

Thrushpaw once gain looked back at Hailpaw before his gaze turned to the ground. Was it bad that he just wanted to follow the rules? "Well... apprentices aren't supposed to go out of camp without a warrior present," He said with slight embarrassment. He wanted to follow the rules. He didn't want to get in trouble. Who knew what Sagestar would say? Or even his mother? But what did Hailpaw think about all of this? Did he even care about the rules?
