Touslepelt watched the adolescent tom leave, feeling his claws slide in and out in anticipation to get his plan underway. 'be quick about it...' he growled under his breath. honestly! sighed the rex to himself in exahsperation as he tried to remember if he had ever been keen to play in cold mud. simply walking around in it was enough, and it called for a few minutes of a good licking to warm up his numbed pads. Touslepelt shrugged- every cat had their own tolorence levels, and although his own was reasonalbly high compaired to most, there was a limit- he wasnt comfortable when it dried between his toes and pads.... ooc: enough about mud
ic: after Ice had left, the tom fixed his olive gaze on shimmer, and meowed slowly 'so...how are the other two...?'

"Good. And Ice brought in some idiot loner who he loves to play with. I'm debating killing the thing." Her eyes narrowed as she mentioned Yen, and the very idea of Ice loving anything. The second bit of her statement was a good thought; Shimmer could just picture herself sinking claws into Yen, letting the life drain slowly from her... She would have smiled, but retained her perfectly controlled expression.
OOC: xD, Ice smells because he was covering up his scent while in SC. And I'm sorry my post is so aweful...

ooc:i just realized that we're on page 2! ic: touslepelt gave an odd smile. he didnt know what shimmer was talking about, but her tone made him guess that this was some sort of light hearted-darkminded plotting. the rex twitched his ear as he moewed 'isnt that just aweful, when you know you have to put up with something, and you just want to get rid of it...' he trailed off as he recounted this situation far too many times; his desire to get rid of autumnstar, smokepelt wanting to get rid or dewstar, his annoyance with many of his rogues... ooc: blahh...sorry im not really feeling it today; i just got back from a swim meet and my teeth are killing me; i just got braces yesterday T_T

Shimmer nodded once, letting herself show a slight smile in response to his. There were many emotions still jumbled inside her, but her face was like a wall with layers of strength to keep them in where they belonged. "So, you want him to spy for you? Will he be living with you as well, or where?" Her eyes stared into his, almost threateningly intense. Ice was her son, her only son, and there was cold fury ready to come out if he got the boy hurt. She assumed that he would move temporarily to the place - probably ShadowClan - that Touslepelt wanted him to spy in. Somewhere she wondered whose idea it had been. Probably Touslepelt's, but what if it was one of his army? She wondered whether it would be fun to find out and kill the cat. It wasn't that she didn't like the idea of Ice working for his parents' cause, she simply loved any excuse to end a life. But she didn't bother asking; why would he tell her? She let her claws sink very slowly into the earth, stretching them as she did so, but it wasn't in anxiety or impatience -- just a habit.
OOC: Bleh. That post was long but terribly written... oh well, I don't feel like fixing it. And braces absolutely suck for the first two weeks. Then the are almost completely unnoticeable, you just forget they're there. So get through the next little bit, and you're good to go.

Touslepelt could tell by Shimmer's love for her kits- however unapparent, that he would have to chose his words carefully, although, once Ice found out about it, would she be able to deny him the oppertunity to alter the future? 'He will reside with me for a day or so, yes, but when the time comes, he will be going elsewhere...' he paused for a moment before asking "Is that alright with you?"
ooc:ugh I'm sorry i cant write a half a page worth right now. ive had a horrible headache and a temp of 101 all weekend.

OOC: That sounds like no fun. Hope you feel better. I'm not really up to my standard, either, but I have no excuse...
Shimmer nodded, her eyes narrowed. "Of course, he gets a say. But he's my son, and he will realize that this is a smart opportunity to take to learn..." Meaning, of course, that she would make him, but only implicitly in front of his father. "Where will he be spying?" She wished to know the answer not, of course, so that she would be able to visit him - she wasn't like that - but so that she could occasionally check if he was still alive or not.

Thunderclan. the rex responded after a moment of silent deliberation of whether or not he should tell the she-cat or not. 'Ive been tipped that thunderclan has let shadowclan stay with them...i need to know how much time i have before i shoudl expect an attack...'

"I see. Maybe you should ask him to make good friends with a ShadowClanner and then go with them or something..." She knew it wasn't her place to offer her opinion, but that had never stopped her in the past. There was no system of leadership in Shimmer's eyes unless it was beneath her. She viewed everyone as threat or unworthy - mostly the latter. Touslepelt counted as one to be wary of, but she didn't act on that. Her eyes watched him coolly, not a hint of emotion, only calculated observation. There was none sadness, softness or - and she hated to think the word - love, that had shown earlier. She looked completely over that, although her inside feelings didn't match with any perfection.

ooc: i thought of this while i was typing: if you had meant thunderclan in your last comment, tell me and i'll delete this. :/
'That would be a utterly foolish and for lack of a better word stupid idea.' meowed the rex tartly, not minding how harsh his critique was. He perferred to make it well known to others how well he had thought something through. He also found it slightly pleasurable to tear down others' inputs. But, this wasn't just some random loner whom he could abuse as he pleased; he was well aware that Shimmer was one of few who didnt tolerate much of that from any cat, not just him. 'I'm sorry if that sounded a little bit harsh.' Touslepelt meowed, trying to ease his critizism to the queen. But you see, the flaws in that plan are far too numerous. most prominant flaw of all though is that a Shadowclanners scent is recognizable. Thunderclan would assume he is of shadowclan as well, and i just cant have that skeptisim being an issue in my plan..I'm sorry.

"Touslepelt, you really should make sure you get what someone's saying before acting like you know everything. You seem to have misunderstood me. What I meant is that he should be taken into ThunderClan - roaming on their territory or something - and then make friends with a ShadowClanner. This way, when ShadowClan leaves, he will choose to go with them, and you will continue to have information." Shimmer's voice was cold, but a gleam of triumph was in her eye. She let it sit for only a second, showing that she was laughing at him internally, and then her blue pools became unreadable and blank once more. She didn't look challenging; she was sitting back, the picture of casual. But in her tone there had been something of a threat, a decided questioning in his authority. She wondered with interest how he would react.

Touslepelt was quiet as he absorbed Shimmer's input 'touche...though, for the record, Had I known CLEARLY what you were talking about, what i said early would not have been 'acting like I know something.' I take offense that you'd think that about me, I really do.' The Rex's words were sarcastic near the end, his upper lip pulled pack into a cool smile as he added 'I shall consider this idea however, since it seems as though you have just given me permission to keep him for longer than i had intended.' Touslepelt pretended to let his gaze wander absently 'Going off to join Shadowclan for a while eh?' Of course he was only kidding, and he knew That Shimmer would be expecting him to be pulling her tail. He honestly had'nt intended to keep him for more than a few moons, since he couldnt afford to have the kit around when the fight actually occurred. Having a kit in the crossfire could be deadly and he didnt want that.

"Oh, I think you'll make sure he comes back in one piece." Under the obvious sarcasm, a deadly thread gave an edge to Shimmer's words. She didn't trust him - but was sure that he understood what she was getting at. If Ice was killed, Touslepelt would have a serious problem on his hands. A furious Shimmer. Rage had fueled all of her fiercest battles; the night she had killed Fang pure hatred had been in her heart. Perhaps he was a better fighter than she, but having a reason just made the beautiful she-cat all the more dangerous. And was that slight smile on her lips because of the cold joking and battle of insults? Or was she thinking about Fang - or what would happen to Touslepelt if he ended up in the same position?

Ice padded slowly towards the two cats, now clean after washing up. He had smelt that Touslepelt was still here by his strong scent...He had not known that they were still in that spot, discussing--he thought Touslepelt would have left by now. He still had no idea what was going on, but a strange feeling in his belly told him that whatever they were talking about that made his mother angry was about him. He frowned and sat in the shadows, far away from the two cats but close enough so that he could hear them. This way, he could hear and not be heard. Or seen, or smelled, for that matter. His fluffy white tail wrapped around his paws as he twitched his ears attentively, waiting for whatever would come. OOC-bleah, rambling on about nothing. lol.

Touslepelt turned as he sensed the young tom pad back into the den, now clean of mud. "Ice, there you are, I was beginning to wonder if you had gotten lost...or killed by something." The comment was really a jibe at Ice's Mother, who was the one responsible for all of her litter's training prior. Not a very mean comment, but more like the fact that Touslepelt was noticing that she had succeeded in teaching her children how not to die... 'I have a surprise for you' he meowed as he used his tail to beckon the tom out of the shadows "Come out and let me have a look at you."

Ice shuffled his white paws as he realized that Touslepelt had noticed him; then as the tom made a snide comment he extracted his claws the tiniest bit. His pelt reddened, though it was not visible through his thick white coat. The young tom, though, felt extreme heat under his fur, which came out of embarrassment. As Touslepelt mentioned a 'surprise' and beckoned Ice out of the shadows, he sighed reluctantly but got up, his muscles rippling under his pelt--he was rather strong for a cat his age. Yes, Touslepelt? he mewed as he stepped out of the darkest parts of the den into the middle. He bowed his head respectfully, and nodded at his mother, who seemed....agitated.
