Chase your ambitions ♛ Antlercloud had been busy in the few short moons since the Claws had been formed. They had stayed largely unnoticed, though he suspected that at least one of his hunters had been trying to sneak their way back onto ShadowClan territory. He'd let it go unpunished for the time being. Let Condorstar fret over the heathens at his borders. Perhaps the old fool would fall over from a heart attack.
Unfortunately, in his preoccupied state, he'd let his friendships fall slightly to the wayside. They still shared the occasional meal and spoke at council meetings, but the tom felt genuine guilt when he realized how little attention he'd paid to Ratwhisker and Camelliarose recently. Especially the latter.
"Good morning," He purred, as he approached her with a fat rabbit he'd stolen from the Moorelands. The way the leafbare sun was striking her was actually distracting for a moment. How strange. He'd always acknowledged that she was beautiful, internally anyway, but it had never really struck him how attractive he found her. Wait - did he find her attractive? He'd never really felt that sort of draw before.
"I feel as though I owe you an apology, or perhaps a few," He mewed, giving her his approximation of a bashful look. Best to ignore the thoughts and get to the groveling. He didn't think himself to good for such things, at least when it came to his dearest friend and inspiration, "I've not made enough time for you, of late."

Camelliarose of ShadowClan
Camelliarose felt like her life had gotten better since she joined Clouded Claws. She was no longer surrounded by idiots. Well, maybe a few. But not to the magnitude of which she dealt with in ShadowClan. If Antlercloud didn't start a rebellion, surely she would have done so herself. It was so much that she could take before she snapped. She was happy to be with the cats she actually liked: Antlercloud and Ratwhisker. Because of this, it was easier for her to want to do her duties. Not that she'd give up lounging in the sun without a care in the world.
The calico was resting on the rock, allowing the sun to touch her pelt. The weather was getting colder, anyway. Might as well enjoy the sun. Her eyes were starting to open when she heard a familiar voice. Oh, look who it is. She wouldn't lie - she had been salty about how little the tuxedo spent time with her lately. Ever since he became leader, she had been busy with other duties. He was effective -- much better than Condorstar. But she wished that he made more time for her. "Uh, how dare you!" She huffed, pretending to not notice her heartbeat quickening. "Leaving me hanging with Ratwhisker. I thought we were tight!" Her voice was playfully indignant, which was becoming more common. She still had her ways and would snap at her Clouded Claws members occasionally. But they were given better treatment than others in her old clan.
"Oh, for me?" She smiled, glancing at the fat rabbit he brought. The calico guessed it was from WindClan. But she wasn't bothered. It wasn't like that weak clan deserved to be fed. "You're not going to leave me to finish this rabbit alone, would you?" She purred, giving him a hopeful look even though she had a feeling he was lingering this time.

Chase your ambitions ♛ "You know if we weren't that I wouldn't be here apologizing," he teased in reply as he jumped up on the rock next to her. The air was crisp but the sun had kept the stone warm enough. He almost startled himself when he instinctively leaned down to gently lick the top of her head in greeting.
"And I was hoping you might offer to share," He laughed as he settled down across from her, "I hope our hunters have been treating you appropriately. They seem to understand their roles far better than our former clanmates."
He knew that there were some that would look to challenge her place. Ratwhisker was openly intimidating, and Prim and Azarias had the former Claws at their backs. They would quickly learn that his dear friend was the biggest force to be reckoned with among his inner circle. She may lack the experience of the others, but she was a force of nature in and of herself. Plus, she would more easily bend his ear than any of the others. He almost looked forward to her shredding the ears of whichever cat dared to make the first push.
"Have you been satisfied with the Claws so far?" He asked almost hopefully before leaning down to give his chest a few quick licks.

Camelliarose of ShadowClan
Camelliarose playfully growled at the tuxedo, allowing him to lick her head. She wasn't used to him giving her affection. But it was something she looked forward to getting used to. She loved the thought of this handsome, competent tom by her side. Power couple on the way! She mused in her head, flicking her tail in contentment. "I should have eaten the rabbit by myself. More for me." The calico had taken a liking to rabbits. Why couldn't they have been in ShadowClan territory?
"I can tell some are wary of me," she thought about two cats that kept their distance when they could. "Prim and her nephew? Son?" The calico couldn't remember the council member's kin. He wasn't that relevant in her eyes, so she forgot he existed half the time. "They're not hostile. Just... not exactly friendly." She found herself pretending to not catch Prim's side-eyes. Just to keep the peace... It felt so weird doing that. "Nonetheless, they're less stupid and infuriating than our previous clanmates."
Clouded Claws was a rather recent group. So, she didn't see anyone challenging the council members anytime soon. They were working through the cold seasons. Everyone was well-fed and taken care of. The rules were fair... everyone had a goal: messing with the clans. So, she wasn't too worry about being challenged. After all, she had Antlercloud and Ratwhisker on her side -- her closest allies. The only cat she'd watch out for was Downfeather - that attention-seeking rat.
"It's better than being in ShadowClan," she purred. "I'm hopeful for the future. We're going to be a formidable group in no time... And perhaps... maybe we could make our own official clan." She didn't really think through that last statement. It was just an idea. "Force our way into their ranks and make them deal with us."

Chase your ambitions ♛ "Ohhhh don't be like that," He chuckled, "As for Prim and Marq - I think they are just like that. I'd rather their wariness then foolish acceptance. They will learn to trust us as we show them what we can accomplish."
He let his mind drift for a moment to all the cats that he needed to prove himself to now. Azarias seemed to be on his way, and he knew once he won over Prim entirely that Marq would follow close behind. His burgeoning allies among the young cats of the Clans were another matter - Shiverpaw would eat out of his paw, but Chiapaw needed a careful eye.
"Are you suggesting you want to go back to following the warrior code?" He asked playfully. Any other cat and he might claw their ears off for the suggestion. He highly doubted that she would desire such a thing. Freedom from the fool restrictions had been the greatest boon he'd found in his departure from ShadowClan, "I'm all for making them respect us, though. I'd love to see the look on Condorstar's face as I stood next to him at a gathering. Maybe he'd finally drop dead from the shock."
He flicked his tail thoughtfully as he watched her. It was better not to think of Condorstar - or ShadowClan - sometimes. He yawned and rolled onto his back to look up at the overcast sky.
"Have I ever told you how much I appreciate you listening to my rambling?" He asked without looking at her, hoping she would willingly change the topic, "Ratwhisker's company is always appreciated, of course, but none of this would have been possible without you - nor would anything else we will accomplish."

Camelliarose of ShadowClan
Camelliarose could have seen what the handsome tuxedo was saying. It made sense - Prim and Marq were sharing their land and title with strangers. Feral Fangs were in a weak position as well. It benefited both groups to combine. She doubted that Prim put much of her feelings into this. The fluffy molly gave the calico a logical, thinking kind of vibe. "I agree. They would love the power we share. And we have a common goal, so it's easier." She also preferred wariness over foolish openness. The calico hated idiots much like her crush.
At his playful remark, she playfully swatted his cheek. "No, you furball," she replied with a smirk. Why would she leave the clans entirely just to follow the code? It was in place for those losers. "That code is for the clans. Not for us." The calico began to think about the warrior code. It didn't seem like anything would benefit them besides feeding queens, elders, and kits. And she knew Antlercloud wouldn't accept some random cat with nothing to offer. So she doubted there would be any elders for a while. "Good thing, though. How are we supposed to make ShadowClan suffer if we follow the one thing that induces harmony? My friend, we want destruction." She felt the tingle of excitement at the thought of overpowering her ex-clanmates or should she say, idiots.
"If he hasn't dropped dead already," she said. "He's been aging away. We'd have to be prepared for dealing with his annoying deputy. Just saying." The she cat pictured what Antlercloud said with a smile. He painted a funny picture. "You will provide a nicer view," she purred. Honestly, she didn't find the leaders particularly... pretty or handsome. They could've done better with their looks.
When Antlercloud rolled over, she stared at him. He seemed at ease with her rather than intense. It was nice to see that side of him as it also lowered her guard. She genuinely felt safe with the tuxedo, and she appreciated that. Her mother was the only other feline that made her feel that way. The molly rolled on her back as well, looking at the sky with wondrous eyes. She wished she did this more often. "Not enough," she said playfully in response to his rambling question. "I do appreciate it. What you say is actually interesting." The feline got the hint that he wanted to change the topic. It seemed like he didn't want to talk about the clans anymore. Not that she blamed him.
What he said almost melted her heart. "Me?" She asked, trying not to get emotional. It wasn't often that she got recognized for anything. She was usually seen as the antagonist of stuff. The troublemaker. It was true. But it felt nice to have her name attached to something that was honorable. "I only ranted. Organizing and spearheading this was all you... You gave me the courage that I thought I... lacked." She couldn't take down her ex-clan on her own. She'd be picked off easily.
The she cat didn't like getting too emotional. Vulnerability was something she was still getting used to. She had been closed off for moons, so it was a strange feeling. "I like where we're going so far. But I think... we need to grow. There aren't many couples." Their group was new, so it was expected but... there should be one couple, right? "I'd love to contribute in that way as well.." She looked to the tuxedo, hoping he'd get her drift. The calico really liked him and would be honored to have their kits. She hoped he felt the same way.

Chase your ambitions ♛ "I certainly won't say no to watching ShadowClan crumble," He purred darkly, "But as much as I want to crush them, that'd be too quick. Fools like that deserve a slow and painful death. I want to make Myrtlesky and Condorstar watch while we kill each of their disgusting litter. Think I'll start with Poppypaw."
He wasn't much for wanton murder in general. Killing Skunkshade had been a terrible accident. And once, his hatred of Condorstar had been a show. Nothing but an attempt to rile up the others. No longer. There was no suffering enough for his former Clan's leader. He quickly snapped himself free of the trance at her next words however, and rolled back onto his side to face her.
"I didn't think you interested in romance, truthfully," He mewed in surprise. The idea of Camelliarose siring a litter with some other tom made bile rise in his throat. He hoped, he realized, that she meant with him. He wondered vaguely if this was a trap. If he offered and she meant with someone else.... He wasn't fond of the potential outcomes. Particularly the unfortunate reflection on his leadership when he skinned the would be tom alive.
"But it certainly makes courting you easier to know you have interest in such things," he added, deciding that the worst that could happen was she shoot him down. And then he'd just have to make some... adjustments to the roster of hunters.

Camelliarose of ShadowClan
Camelliarose would have scoffed if someone told her moons ago that she'd have a taste for blood. While she wasn't ever nice, she didn't want to see life leave out of one's eyes. She had a weird relationship with death, especially since her mother passed. But now, she hated the leadership duo in ShadowClan more than killing itself. She wanted them to suffer the most. When she heard about their litter, she wrinkled her nose. Such a disaster. "Poppypaw is dumb as a pile of rocks. And a coward at that. That fool can't even hurt a butterfly. I almost pity her -- I'd hate to be dumb and have bad looks." For cats that seemed to take pride in their looks, they surely had terrible looking kits.
The calico could've cared less about Skunkshade's death. It didn't push her away from Antlercloud. That fool should've known better than enter a fight she couldn't win. Camelliarose was more concerned on whether it would cripple Condorstar as he and his mangy deputy was the focus of her wrath.
"I didn't think so either," she admitted with a sigh. The calico looked at her paws, suddenly relating to others that had nervousness before confessing attraction. "But, it's hard to not like someone that changed your life for the better. Someone that gives you more motivation to be the best version of yourself for them..." She looked at the tuxedo with fondness in her eyes. "I may be mean, but... that doesn't mean I can't... have affection." The calico wanted to say 'love', but that word held too much intensity at the moment.
She narrowed one eye at Antlercloud when he mentioned courting. It seemed like he was still playing safe despite her words. Perhaps she should have been more clear? "You better court me," she huffed. "You've been in my sights for a while now."

Chase your ambitions ♛ The smile that spread across Antlercloud's face likely conveyed just how pleased he was with himself. In the eyes of most, likely far too happy, actually. He hadn't initially caught her nervousness, but by the end of her confession, for lack of a better word, he was onto it. And what he discovered was boy did he enjoy how she looked when she was nervous.
Camelliarose was always beautiful. That was just a fact of life. Just like the flower that was selected as her suffix, she was a beauty that could make you bleed if you approached it wrong. Her elegance was unparalleled, in his mind. Despite that, this was the first time he'd ever describe her as 'cute'. He hoped he could take a freezeframe of that expression in his mind since he doubted he would ever successfully elicit the response again.
"I'm honored that you think so highly of me, Camelliarose," He mewed seriously, instead of teasing her as he wished to. Not only did he think she might find him less attractive after shredding his ears, he also dared not to miss this opportunity at hand, "You are the smartest, most beautiful molly I have ever met. I would be a fool if I couldn't see that."
He took a deep breath, to soothe his own jitters if nothing else, "I would be even more honored if you were to accept my affections in return. And more a fool if I didn't ask."
"Camelliarose, would you do me the honor of being my mate?" Antlercloud asked formally, "Or am I going to have to win you over?"
