Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
Ive stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
Ive walked and Ive crawled on six crooked highways,
Ive stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
It was raining far too often for her tastes, and the she-cat found herself twitching her whiskers in distaste. The rain had never been her favorite despite she being of the clan of water, and it made her surlier than usual. Which is why she'd headed out to escape the confines of her clan camp; she might not care overly much anymore, but she still didn't wish to make things too unpleasant for everyone, herself especially. It was a simple matter of 'what comes around, goes around.' If she was snarky to others, most likely they'd be snarky back. Flawless logic, of course, not that she was in a mood to be pleased by it. When was she ever?
She was sitting at the edge of the bridge, staring down at the water below, watching as the dark liquid swirled in a never-ending cycle, the murky depths shifting and shimmering, playing with the meager light, the current moving deceptively fast underneath the playful surface. There were probably cats that would foolishly try and take a dip in the river at this particular spot, but Breezefeather was not one of them. She knew her limits, and like all Riverclan warriors, she had a healthy respect for the river. She'd watched helplessly time and time before as cats and other creatures stepped or fell into the tranquil waters and were carried downriver, more often than not loosing their lives for their troubles.
The she-cat's morbid fascination with deaths seemed to crop up far too often for her tastes, as well, and she shook her head furiously, as if to loosen the thoughts' hold on her mind and clear it up. Droplets of rainwater sprayed out all around her, and the hairs of her sleek black pelt stuck out as a result. "Blasted rain..." she muttered darkly, a reflection upon the color of her fur and the color of her mood. Swiftly, almost out of habit, she brought a paw to her face, rasped her pink tongue over it a few times, and then did a once-over on her cheeks. The end result was better, but she came to the conclusion that it'd take more than a few rub-downs to get her pelt back to a semblance of an ordinary fashion.
First, though, it had to stop raining.
Ive been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
Ive been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And its a hard, and its a hard, its a hard, and its a hard,
And its a hard rains a-gonna fall.
