Prompts: hug, comfort

"Twitchtail?" a small voice mews in the middle of the night.

He wakes up abruptly, eyes searching for the tiny kit he knows to be the owner of that voice. "Fuzzykit," he meows with a yawn, the noon-high sun outside beckoning him deeper into a daylight nap. "Go bask with Jellie. I know you miss Mistyblaze, but--"

"I'm dreaming of the moon," Fuzzykit whispers softly, and. Ah. That would explain this.

"Fuzzykit," Twitchtail says gently. "You can tell Jellie about these kinds of things. She won't hate you. She knows what it was like."

"I know," Fuzzykit meows, pushing his muzzle into Twitchtail's pelt. "But it won't be the same."

Twitchtail lifts his head with a grunt and gazes into the tomkit's bright blue eyes. Fuzzykit's getting big--no longer can he nestle in the space between Twitchtail's tail and paws. He's still got some growing to do, but he's nearly apprentice-age--any day now, he thinks, and prays to StarClan like akways that he's one of the mentors. Fisherpaw's basically a warrior at this point; surely he can talk Turtlestar into letting him mentor two apprentices at once.

That is, when he could talk about apprenticing Fuzzykit at all.

Twitchtail can't blame their leader for taking so long to recover. He still gets his own dreams, dreams about the moonfall. He dreams about--

(He is not quite himself and also entirely himself at the same time. His claws are weird. He's not Twitchtail, he's Silvertongue. He's not Silvertongue, he's Twitchtail. He catches his reflection out of the corner of his eye as he paces by the river, and he sees--)

(Ivydust is always looking back at them. He can see her everywhere. She's the rustle of ferns in the wind, the dappled shadows of dawn trotting across the landscape. She's the taste of mice on the wind, the wind itself. Hillsprint says it's a blessing, something to remember her by. All Twitchtail sees are ghosts.)

(Fuzzykit had been so young, and Mistyblaze had abandoned him for the refuge of the houses, and he doesn't even blame her. She'd thought her kit was going to die. She'd thought they were all going to die. She still welcomes visitors, and sometimes he and Flamechaser bring Fuzzykit out to see his mother. Ivydust walks those halls too. Mistyblaze had hated hearing the news.)

(All Twitchtail can think is: if it was stressful for Turtlestar, if it was stressful for Mistyblaze, if it was stressful for Skypaw and Fisherpaw and Flamechaser and void, stressful for Hillspring--well, Fuzzykit had been four moons old, and he'd been smart enough to know that everyone thought he was going to die at the age of four moons old.)

(He remembers making plans for the end of days. Thinking about all the time he'd wasted, all the time he'd lost. He remembers thinking about how young he was.)

(Fuzzykit had only been that--a kit.)

Twitchtail relents. "Alright," he meows, letting Fuzzykit scrabble onto the rock. "Come on up here. We can bask together."

Fuzzykit purrs, and Twitchtail lays a muzzle on Fuzzykit's shoulder, tail curling around the kit's paws. "Thanks," Fuzzykit mews, burying his muzzle in Twitchtail's fur before laying down in the patch of sunlight.

(Ivydust is somewhere in the trees, or maybe she is the trees. Maybe she's the light reaching down through the cleft in the rock, finding the both of them, slowly kneading them with paws made of the sun itself.)

(Maybe she's none of that. Maybe the laughter in the branches is just the wind shaking them. Maybe the light across the river is just that--light on the river. Maybe she is entirely dead, and Twitchtail is making connections where there aren't any to be made.)

(Have a little whimsy, she whispers in the voice of the wind, the trees, the sunlight. Who cares if I'm dead, if you're wrong? I was a warrior. I lived as one, died as one. That's all that matters.)

Fuzzykit begins to drift off beside him, pelt glowing in the sunlight, and the trees' leaves are the same color as Ivydust's eyes.

Twitchtail slips into sleep, the soft warmth of sunlight keeping him safe.

Not a lot of miles but I finally broke my “Bad Friday Streak” of no running at 5 Fridays. I felt like a bit of a wimp for going to long sleeves on the first cool night of the season but I can’t say I ever really got overheated. Temperature was a seasonable 58° but with enough of a breeze that I could feel it through my @armytenmiler tech shirt. After about 3 miles of easy running I decided to start throwing in some short #hillsprints of about 15 seconds. I got about 9 of of those done. Then after I finished I did some form drills since I hadn’t done them in a while. I’ve got some key workouts planned on the weekend so hopefully this was a good primer. #runblr #fitblr #halfmarathontraining #fallrunning #richmondhalfmarathon2018 #mcmillanrunning #mcmillanrunteam (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2k6gaFZne/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qu6h5g5pq1bz

Hill sprint races. ✅アップヒルランニングは、臀筋、大腿四頭筋、腓腹筋/ヒラメ筋、および股関節屈筋群の筋活動とパワー発揮の向上に役立つことが、筋電図によって示されている。 https://twitter.com/StetsonWSoccer/status/829166814726852611/video/1 このような運動単位の活性化は、筋内コーディネーションの効率化と推進力の増大をもたらすとともに、走行中の制動力を減少させることも示されており、これは、脚にかかる鉛直方向の衝撃力をほとんど伴うことなく発生していることも判明しています。 https://note.com/nakajimahiro/n/ndfc58b904e65 #hillsprints #アップヒルランニング #スプリントトレーニング #パワー #筋電図 #トレーニング #柔道整復師 #インディバ #横浜 #桜木町 #野毛 #みなとみらい #nakajima整骨院トレーニング動画 #Nakajima整骨院 @StetsonWSoccer (Nakajima整骨院) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTEKf1yDbDT/?utm_medium=tumblr

10km done this morning love hammering this course near Bromyard literally has everything i need!!! Two separate runs again looking forward to a nice long run this Sunday coming with @spiggy27 both building endurance nicely now 👌 Have you ran today? If so how far? Getting it done is key at what pace doesn't matter we are all different sometimes I can be at a 5-6min mile pace for distance other times my body will only allow me to be in the 10min mile club. Its you against you!! #morningrun #10km #roadrunner #speedwork #hillsprints #cadencedrills https://www.instagram.com/p/CFOinhhH7iwEEm2yH--sbzA6ywQs6gQgp9LFJM0/?igshid=11hf6z0e0vfle

What were some things you know you could've improved upon while your #gym was still open? Was it technique? We're you weak in a certain #exercise. We're you not eating right or to at least for your individual goals? And are you able to use this time to fix those problems? Mine without a doubt was #conditioning or #generalphysicalpreparedness. It'd become increasingly harder to not need to need more than five minutes between sets of nearly ANYTHING I was doing in the gym. So I decided that now's THE best time to do something about it. I started sprinting up these steps a week ago. Came back today and I was even MORE gassed than I was first time around - I didn't even think that was possible! So my goal starting now is to come here twice a week and run up and down these steps as many times as possible until I get to ten. Every small step will be an accomplishment, even if I only make to the top and can't continue from there. That would still be half a rep more than I did two days earlier. Baby steps. Whether you're in the gym or you're forced to #improvise out in nature (do remember to stay safe!), each small accomplishment is only a piece of a much bigger picture. Keep at it, especially now, and you'll hit the gym even #stronger than you were before this lockdown happen. Mental toughness. And workouts like running up steps or especially #hillsprints will definitely make a tough guy (or gal) out of you! Are you doing anything like this if your gym is still closed? Let me know in comments.
