Private Thread Bold Steps, Bolder Asks

I’d rather bear the weight of others than let others carry pain alone.

It was early morning when the idea came to Basilflame, she wanted to ask the certain toms she had been fond of to help her with the decision that has been flickering in her mind since the current kits started getting bigger and older. But even more since Cedarpaw had been missing for long enough for some to give up looking. Boldclaw was the first cat she intended to ask. But she wouldn’t just ask him outright, there was a methodology to it. It would seem awkward to simply ask him for a favor that large, she had been taking Boldclaw out of camp every so often, perhaps every two days over the past few days now. It wouldn’t be out of the blue for her to ask him out of camp.

And so, she slipped from the warriors’ den and made a line to the Elders’ den. The rest of the elders seemed to be asleep, for a moment, she looked to her mother, sound asleep in her nest, she was going to be the oldest elder in the camp soon, and that worried her, because she would eventually be without her, perhaps giving her a bloodline would give Sunbear some peace of mind? She wasn’t sure but she was sure that she wanted kits. Boldclaw was one of her toms of choice.

"Boldclaw?"She called out quietly, flicking her flame colored tail as it caught the early dawn light. "Are you awake? If you’re still sleeping I could come back later." She asked with just as much volume as the whisper she had begun with. "I was just hoping we could go out, hunt a little, share tongues under the tree at the Wind Hill. It wouldn’t be too hot for you at this time would it?" she meowed, she had taken notice of his moods on the hotter days, especially when it was sunhigh, she thought that taking Boldclaw out when it was a little cooler might make him a little more comfortable. For Boldclaw, she would go out of her way to do a lot of things. Including much more than this. For Boldclaw.
