Firesky

---

The small calico she-cat took the lead from here daughter as they came out of the camp. It was meant to be a hunting party, something to do while Firesky awaited for the dusk patrol. She and a few other warriors were going to patrol along the old StoneClan border, perhaps hunt a little in the deserted territory, but while sh waited, Firesky wanted to spend her time doing something.

Mapleheart was behind her, having protested when her mother asked her to join. Firesky wasn't going to allow either of her children to grow lazy and twice she caught Mapleheart flirting without actually doing anything. The mother and deputy of LightingClan, shooed the tom away and ordered her daughter up and out of the camp and here they were. Firesky trying not to snap at her daughter, Mapleheart giving off those 'I rather be flirting' vibes that put Firesky in an awkward situation.

"There should be a rabbit warren somewhere around here, why not hunt for LightingClan" She meowed to her daughter, a strong sense of annoyance with her child's behavior clear in her words.

And life is a road I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is road now and forever

Mapleheart despised being on hunting patrols with her mother. It was worse, still, that her mother had the authority to force her to go. Highly agitated to be distracted from... well, nothing in particular, she stalked after her mother's familiar pelt. Glancing around, she was dismayed to find that no one else was joining them. She rolled her eyes, but felt a soft touch of relief. Perhaps she didn't resent her mother's company as much as she would have her believe...

Though she was definitely irritated at the way her mother had shooed away that tom. Sure, she'd not been getting anywhere, but Mapleheart was just so desperate for the kind of closeness that Firesky had with Russetfall. A companion to share her nest, to love....

Her attention was forced back to the present when her mother spoke. Looking to her mother with a clear, though good-humored, obstinace, she said, voice dripping with sarcasm, "Yes, mother, why don't you?"

Firesky

Mate : Mother : Deputy

Yellow eyes narrowing at the scarcasm uttered from her daughter's maw, the calico she-cat paused mid-stride and stared at her daughter. As the deputy of LightingClan, Firesky expected all the warriors to pull their weight and as a mother of Mapleheart and Wildclaw she expected her kits to go above and beyond their clanmates, a sort of misleading pride that settled in the calico she-cat. Attempting to construct the right words to get her point across, she drew her maw wide and took in a deep breathe before exhaling it into a large sigh, which was followed by another breathe before her words.

"Mapleheart my kit, I understand you and I don't see eye to eye and I have to say that it is partly because of your grandmother being able to watch over you in your early years. I make no attempt to follow in my mother's paw-steps, and I hope you do not do the same. My mother had a very negative outlook on life even after bearing so many healthy kits, I fear that is rubbed off on you." Firesky paused this time, looking down at her paws, shifting her weight slightly before continuing on again.

"Mapleheart, you are so much more to the Clan then a future queen. Your worth is not measured in how many kits you give to the Clan but instead of how loyal you are. I do not pretend to know how you feel but do you think me a bad mother that you have to be at each other's throat for the better part of our days? I do not like this tension and I fear that I am failing. " Firesky finished her words with a drop of her shoulders as the emotions in her heavy words left her maw, she was worried that her daughter didn't have a lot of self worth, but then again perhaps it was just a phase and to StarClan; Firesky prayed that was the only answer to Mapleheart's behaviour.

Turning to face her mother and meeting her stare, Mapleheart shrugged dismissively. "Really, Firesky, you ought to take some responsibility instead of blaming it all on your mother." The irony of her statement didn't reach her. "Anyways, I do just as much for LightningClan as any other warrior." She paused to roll back on to her haunches, her tail twitching in lazy agitation. "StarClan knows you should be satisfied enough with what you do in LightningClan to not need to live vicariously through your kits. I mean, honestly." She sighed, doing her best to look unimpressed.

Why did she care if she became a queen, anyways? She would make a good mother, and LightningClan always needed new warriors! Rising to her paws in a satisfyingly graceful manner, the she-cat began padding away, hoping to end the conversation. Ugh.

It wasn't like the deputy needed to worry, anyways. It's not like any of the tom's were interested. Maybe I should find a mate in another clan. She chuckled inwardly. Her mother would hate that. How perfect.
