Written in the Stars

tigertuft had just eaten something small for the evening, but instead of socializing in the camp clearing or going out for a late stroll, she had decided to give herself a bit of time inside of the den tonight. not that she didn't want to be out in the relaxing evening bustle of camp, but there were a few times that she wasn't in the mood to be around everybody. such as mentors returning with their apprentices, rowdy and boasting about who caught the better prey, or complaining about the everyday tasks of clan-life. she loved them all, but sometimes the silence and warmth of the den was a treat. and thus she lay, lightly relaxing as she groomed out some of the day's kinks from her pelt. though however, despite her retreat to the den to escape the bustle of camp light, tigertuft was not at all disappointed to see spiderstar emerging through the entrance. in fact, it took her by surprise. "spiderstar--of course not!" she states with a shocked yet welcoming smile, ceasing her grooming and sitting up in her nest to face the leader. her tail wraps around her paws and she adjusts herself slightly to allow the older cat some space when she sits down beside her. "what brings you? been moons since i've last seen you in here." she had only been a young warrior when spiderspirit became spiderstar, so her moving to the leader's den had never been something that tigertuft had to truly adapt to. however, seeing her back almost felt as if it had pushed her back in time.
