Lost (Patchpaw)

[Cloudeh Mongoose]

"Cool," Hatsuharu stated simply. "Going slow is pretty nice, isn't it? You see more."

[Spottednose]

"True," Patch stated simply. She began to purr again, then started walking again. More slowly this time though.

It wasn't long before she found his den. It was on the edge of the forest, not to off from where they had stopped to talk. "Is this it?" She stated with satisfaction, and she began to purr again.

[Cloudeh Mongoose]

"Mmhm," Hatsuharu replied. "Like it?"

[Spottednose]

"Yes! It looks lovely." Patch replied. It really was a nice looking den. Then she was saddened at the sight of the setting sun. She bowed her head, "I guess I'll be on my way then." She took a couple steps, walking away.

[Cloudeh Mongoose]

"Hey, hey," Hatsuharu said. "Come back. You don't have to leave." His voice was easygoing, calm.

[Spottednose]

Patch's ears perked up, and she turned around. "Are you sure?" She asked. She had wanted to stay. She liked being around this easy going tom. "I don't want to intrude..."

((Sorry, I would have posted earlier, but just as I was about to click Post Reply my computer clicked off. XP I did have more typed, but I couldn't remember all of what I put. XP))

"It's not a problem," Hatsuharu replied with a feather-soft smile. She was a sweet cat. He led her farther into it. It was basically a big hollow tree, big enough for three cats. He'd found it recently, and bedded it with moss. He had nice-smelling herbs in it, too. He didn't know what kinds of medicine they were used for, he just used them to keep the place smelling good. It calmed him down, too, when he started to lose his temper.

[Spottednose]

Patch followed Haru farther into the den. She pured, "It smells great in here. And the moss makes it so comfortable." It was a very nice den. She looked around admirably at the den, then turned to smile at Haru. He was so nice to let her stay there. She hadn't wanted to go and look for a new den to sleep in, like she did every night. She rarely stayed in one place for long. She was always moving around, trying to meet new cats, and make new friends, but this was the first nice cat that she had ever run across. She purred louder at the thought.

Hatsuharu smiled. "That's what I'm aiming for. There are these times when I lose my temper, and I go berserk, but sometimes this helps calm me down," he explained for, breathing in the scents. He curled up in a corner of the den. "Arrange a space for you however you like," he said.

((Your role-playing has improved. =]))

[Spottednose]

((Thankies!!! =DDD))

Patch had sat down while he was talking. When he was finished, she tilted her head and replied, "You seem so nice. I can't imagine you loosing your temper." She padded over to another conner in the den. She circled around once, then lay down, and looked at him. She curled her tail around her. The den was very comfortable. She snuggled down in the moss, pressing herself against the wall. It felt much cooler in the den than outside, which Patch appreciated. Though it had cooled down since she had met Haru, it was just bearable out side. The den felt perfect.

[Cloudeh Mongoose]

The tom purred, eyes half closed lazily. He breathed in, pressing one side of his head lightly against the wall for a moment before laying it on his paws.

"Ahh, I can lose my temper. But it takes a lot to set it off. It was worse when I was a kit." Haru grinned playfully at her, then rolled onto his back, letting his legs curl down against his stomach comfortably.

[Spottednose]

Patch padded over to him, and batted at him playfully. "Oh yeah? Well, you may find this hard to believe, but I used to be more hyper when I was a kit," She meowed playfully. She enjoyed being around Haru. He seemed like a nice cat. She still couldn't imagine him loosing his temper. Then, her soft, playful, happy feechers, faded. She winced... As though she was in pain, but she wasn't. She had remembered something she hadn't remembered in moons. Not since she was a kit...

[Cloudeh Mongoose]

Hatsuharu laughed at the first comment. He cuffed her ear, but not painfully. But his happy looks softened to relaxed concern as he saw her expression. So much pain was held there. How could such a happy she-cat have a look such as that. He sat up and leaned in a little closer.
"Hey... you all right?"

[Spottednose]

Patch slowly came out of her wince, and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine," She meowed softly. She gave a week smile, "So..... What do you want to do now? It's getting late... I kind of want to go to sleep." She said quietly. She felt queasy now. She hated it. She hatted how her father still tortured her, even now that he was out of her life. She looked down sadly at the other tom.

[Cloudeh Mongoose]

Hatsuharu smiled, eyes warm and kind. "Sure, let's sleep. I'm pretty tired myself." He curled up, making himself nice and comfortable. He yawned loudly, and then went back to watching her.

"If you ever need someone to lean on, I'm here, okay? And you can tell me about it if you ever need to."
