Mintflower plodded out of the warrior's den and into the darkness. Now what? She had the sudden serge to escape from the madness of the Clan life. It was dark and she looked up at the sky. Darkness. For as far as you could see. The clearest night ever. Beautiful. Mintflower thought about the battle that was most likely going to come up. She was scared. She wanted a mate, so bad. Just for the joy of pups and so she didn't have to fight. Her life dream was to be purely a queen. Either helping out other queens or taking care of her own pups. She wanted the joy of having a mate. Someone to love. But, no. She hadn't found one yet. Why was it so hard to be a wolf? Couldn't she just be normal? No. She had to be herself.

Konpaku padded back into camp. It had been a long night for him. Everyone was anxious and that did not exclude him. He had just made sure that nothing was wrong for the night and was about to make his way to the warrior's den when he noticed another wolf. It was dark, but the wolf's scent reached his nose. He slowly walked over to Mintflower and barked, "Hello, Mintflower." No one else was awake, so he felt that he needed to ask. "Is everything alright?"

Mintflower shook her head quickly. No, no. There is nothing wrong! I was just taking a midnight stroll. What are you doing out late? If I may ask. She shot him a warm smile and two owls flew over head. They startled Mintflower a she ducked. Standing back up she said, Whoa! That scared me!

Konpaku watched as Mintflower quickly shook her head. He was about to reply when two owls flew over their heads and into the night sky. He couldn't help it, he let out a small laugh. When he stopped, he told her, "I was just checking the territory for anything unusual."

Oh. Mintflower didn't like the way he laughed at her, but she had a bad experience with owls when she was younger. All by your self? What if there was a bear or other wolves? Then what would you've done? She gave her chest a few embarrassed licks. She didn't mean to burst out like that, even in front of her deputy. I'm sorry.

Konpaku nodded. "It's quite all right. I'm sorry if I offended you by laughing." He let a smile creep across his maw as he thought about what she said. "For a bear I would have come back to camp and warn the others. I wouldn't think about fighting it on my own unless absolutely necessary, especially a mother." He shuddered, mother bears were scary when they had cubs. "For wolves I would have sounded the alarm and fought."

Oh, well. I knew that. She rolled her eyes in a playful way and sat down. What else did you do today? Anything exciting? Mintflower looked at him intently.

Konpaku let out a mixture of a sigh and a growl, then sat down. "Well, unless you call tripping over a rabbit hole exciting, then sure." He sounded sarcastic, but his eyes showed the playful gesture. "What about you? Anything exciting happen to you today?"

Oh, nothing really. I went hunting at the beginning of the day. Only caught a few plump rabbits. Other than that I sat in camp and thought about the upcoming... never mind. Mintflower shook her head. She couldn't possibly tell him she was scared about the upcoming fight. Could she?

Confused, Konpaku's head turned to one side. He could tell that there was something wrong. Then, he understood what might be the problem. "Is it the Fangs?" He asked gently.

Mintflower felt herself look smaller. Well, uh, er, She put her head down. Yes. It is. I am scared to fight.

Konpaku watched Mintflower for a long time, then spoke. His eyes and expression were hard, but warmed as he spoke. "There is no reason to feel ashamed for being afraid. The Fangs are dangerous, I would be more upset if you were not afraid." Konpaku headbutted Mintflower playfully. He himself was afraid about the upcoming battle, not that he would let anyone know though.

Mintflower ignored his playfulness for a second. [bI know you probably aren't scared. [/b]She laughed flatly to herself. Yea... I'm just afraid I won't come back and fulfill my life dream of having kits.[/color]]

"Of course I'm afraid!" Konpaku growled. He was shocked that he said it, but quickly tried to cover by changing the topic. "So your dream is to have pups then?"

Mintflower was shocked also by the way he spoke. Uh. Yes. I wanted to be a queen. Just like my mother. Her eyes sparkled with pride. She had many pups as a loner and I was her 3 litter!
