Brambleclaw looked at her. He was desperate for companionship, especially after what had just happened. "Thank you. I'd be very much obliged to travelling with you." They stared at each other for a little, and then looked away awkwardly. What was that? Was that a spark? Either way, Brambleclaw knew that he couldn't fall in love with her. He knew what happens. He'd just gotten over it and was no way going to do it again.

Stripepelt let loose a sigh of relief. Companions, even for a short while, were very welcome in her mind. The world was much too lonely, she thought. "I'm glad. Thank you," She purred. |

Brambleclaw purred back, and snuggled close to her, watching the stars. Am I doing the right thing Starclan? He laid his head down to rest. "So where exactly are we going? Anywhere in particular?"

OOC: Well, alrighty now. I finally know what happened, and while I am still sorta kinda in shock [though I was somewhat expecting it] I can finally get a good post up!
Stripepelt looked at Brambleclaw thoughtfully. She didn't care where they went, it's not like she had purpose to her paths recently. StarClan had all but abandoned her, though she was constantly looking for a way to redeem herself. Maybe if she were to try and help this wounded warrior she could find the answer to redemption?
Her real question was how in StarClan's sake had he dealt with such a horrible shock?! His own mate, lying to him for so long! Lying to her clan! She could only imagine the horror he must feel, knowing that the past year had been a lie, and in reality he didn't have three strong, worthy kits. He was simply the cover up for three half bloods, three accidents, three kits who broke almost every rule by existing. How could he be coping with that?!
She sensed a great courage from him, and figured he must be fighting on. "I never choose my paths, I just go where my paws lead me. StarClan, or whoever watches over me now, will show me where to go." |

OOC: So you know who died at the end of Sunrise?
Brambleclaw looked at Stripepelt and smiled. What a cat! Free to go wherever, only the stars and herself to guide her. If only he could live that way! Then reality struck. He was living that way now! He could do whatever he wanted! He had no duties to tie him down, no mate to tie him down, no kits to tie him down, no fear of being attacked tying him down. He was, for the first time in his life, free...
They continued walking until they came upon a ridge overlooking a field. It was absolutely beautiful... A large, wide open prairie under a huge, starry sky. It was about then that the "no mate to tie him down" part came back to his head. He looked at Stripepelt. "Stripepelt, I know I may have already asked this before, but... do you have a mate?" A shooting star flew by overhead. An omen?

OOC: Yes O.O
Stripepelt reached the top of the ridge, and sat down, knowing very well the view that was about to grace their appearance. She sensed the shock of Brambleclaw at it's beauty, amazing prairie and field stretching for miles upon miles, looking almost as big as the Sun-Drown Place. She looked out, and up at the stars, wondering if StarClan still watched her, or if they had turned their backs on her. Or, even worse, what if they looked down at her with hatred in their hearts? She shivered with sorrow, wishing she could find a life back within a clan. Preferably ShadowClan, her original home, but any clan that would welcome her would do. Or at least allow her. They didn't even have to accept her, let alone like her.
"Stripepelt, I know I may have already asked this before, but... do you have a mate?" His question took a moment to register with her, and when it did she snorted with surprise. "No you didn't ask yet. And no, I do not. No cat has ever loved me, not after Tigerstar." She shook her head, then looked at the cat with a new thought. If the fates had been different, and Tigerstar had returned the love she had held for him, false as it was, she had believed it to be so, then she could have been this cats mother. That brought shock through her, rocking her straight down and through her core.[/blockquote]

OOC: wow... she's old enough to be his mom. Brambleclaw likes em old! lol which is weird since s-filght was so much younger than he was!
Brambleclaw looked at her. She was gorgeous. The stars were twinkling in the sky. Starclan's approval. He twined his tail with hers, put his head on her shoulder, and said "Well I think any cat would be stupid to not try and be your lover. I... I know I want to." After admitting his love, he scooted away from her a bit, nervous of her reaction. He'd never been rejected before.

OOC: Is she old enough? I just knew she could have been. Cuz wasn't Brambleclaw concieved before the betrayal? If so, then they aren't that far apart ;P
Sensing a change in the mood, Brambleclaw suddenly snuggled up to her. His eyes were glimmering with hope, and something else...
"Well I think any cat would be stupid to not try and be your lover. I... I know I want to." His tail twined with hers, then he backed off, sudden uncertainty in his eyes. "Well..." She trailed off with surprise, eyes wide, and took that moment to break eye contact, gazing at the stars. A shooting star, was it a sign? One that this was the right path, and that they hadn't turned on her? Or that if she followed his request, that they would reaccept her? Either way, it seemed good... "I want to be yours too," She murmured softly, looking back down at him, purring unexpectedly.

OOC: Silly timelines  Brambleclaw perked his head up. "Really?! You do? That's great! I love how free you are, and that freedom gives you great spirit and zestiness, which I love in a she-cat." He walked back over too her, and joined his purr with hers. It'd been a while since he'd had something to purr about, but this was definately worth the wait. He playfully pushed her over and stood over her. "So why are you agreeing? What do you like about me?" |

Stripepelt listened to his purr, and his compliments and comments on her life. "Really?! You do? That's great! I love how free you are, and that freedom gives you great spirit and zestiness, which I love in a she-cat."
Playfully, he purred and turned her over, and she fell over, laughing. She looked up at him, and lifted her head, rubbing her muzzle against his cheek. "So why are you agreeing? What do you like about me?"
"I like your bravery. How you could stand through all that crap of your old mate, and those kits, and still be willing to love. Still be willing to live. And you are very handsome," She smiled teasingly, and purred louder.
