Time to goof off? Mistlewhisker was growing more and more dizzy with every word that left Hawkbite's mouth. Not to mention he kept wiggling his paws under her flank, tickling her. She grumbled, glancing around and realizing that even the ark kits had disappeared back into the nursery. They truly were alone.

It wasn't that Mistlewhisker was afraid of dropping her mask in front of others. It was just that she didn't HAVE a mask. She was like this in front of everyone. The last cat she had been openly enthusiastic around had been Thornwing. And that had been when she was a newly-made warrior, fresh faced and with both of her eyes.

Sure, she had emotions, and sure, she usually hid them away. But it was just so much easier that way. When cats couldn't tell what you were thinking, it was easy to convince them you were on their side. That you agreed with them, so there was no need for conflict. It was hard to backpedal when your emotions were easy to read. It was a useful skill she had learned.

Could she really unlearn it, just for moments like this?

Well... Mistlewhisker had already achieved her dream of becoming an Enforcer. Deputy felt so far away. She had no goal, now. Maybe... this could be her new goal for now. Learning how to be like Hawkbite. Clearly it worked for him, so she could at least try it.

Oh great, she had started to overthink it again. Huffing, Mistlewhisker scrunched her eye shut and let her body flop, still tense despite her stretched out form. She cracked open her eye and glanced at Hawkbite. "....Am I doing it right?" No, she was most certainly not. But it was a start.
