Eagletalon had only been a warrior for a short while, so it remained fresh in his mind how proud he had felt when his father, Hawkstar, announced his name to the clan. Despite the circumstances of his father's possession, he had remained Hawkstar's most loyal supporter. All the very young warrior wanted to do was make his father proud. But with the gap between himself and his clanmates only being pushed further apart, Eagletalon was lonely. As a new warrior he was still coming into his own, he felt out of place among the senior warriors, he felt disconnected from his mother and his siblings, and yet... he felt too awkward among the apprentices. Felt like he was too old to still be acting like one.
Standing on his hindlegs, Eagletalon dug his claws into the bark of one of the towering oaks, clawing at the surface and shaking his head as flakes of bark fell toward him.
Ever since the battle, he'd been even more isolated, simply providing for his clan and keeping himself as far away from trouble as possible.
Polarpaw |The Eccentric of Thunderclan|
Polar’s beautiful crystal blue and indigo purple eyes follow Eagletalon’s every move. The observant molly could sense the anxiety and silent turmoil radiating from the brown rosette tom. “Hmm” she hums out, not minding his passive aggressive tone and behavior. She could tell that he had a lot on his mind, and did not know how to express himself around others. Her silvery cinnamon colored ears perk up as he huffs at her, demanding if she was here to laugh or poke fun of his inner distress. Tilting her cranium in curiosity, usually she was the one being made fun of because of her peculiar personality and for her chunky curvy figure.
“Why would I laugh? You haven’t said anything funny” Polar furrows her brows as she gives him a clueless look, not realizing he did not mean it literally. “Oh” she gasps softly as she rushes slightly after Eagletalon. She could tell he secretly wanted company, she was perfect for the job! Her long flowing tail wisps side to side as she hums with a hop in her step as she follows behind Eagle.
A dreamy grin pulls at her lips as he concedes to her company, not like she was giving him much of a choice. “Oh! I am out here for no reason! The scenery is quite nice and calming…don’t you think?” Polar asks as her different toned eyes flicker around the forest. The ground crunching beneath her weight with each step due to the brittle cold air sweeping past their forms. “The smell in the air indicates a cold winter! Exciting! Snow is such a beautiful thing to witness! Too bad it is cold” Polarpaw sighs as she finally pads long side the young warrior. “Nice to have company for once.”
