Even when the she-cat slowly slid from the shadows and began to approach, Hunterpaw couldnt move.

At all.

The light gray she-cat weaved around her Clanmates and a few other Clan cats, mewing apologies if she almost tripped over or onto someone as she neared Hunterpaw and Springwind. When she was only a few mouse-lengths away, she paused, gazing up at Springwind first. "Hello, there..." she mewed softly to the older warrior, before her eyes landed back on Hunterpaw, and her face softened.

Hunterpaw was still tense, gazing at the she-cat. "Wrenpaw," He finally managed to utter the one single name, nothing but disbelief in his tone. After all this time, moons of not seeing the first cat he'd ever truly loved, the real reason he'd given up any chance at finding someone to settle down with forever, the one cat who left him and not the other way around, he runs into her at a gathering. And he realized that it still hurt. Great StarClan, it hurt.

Springwind stayed rooted to his spot. Staring at the two apprentices with a curious gaze. When the light grey feline appeared, the tom gave her a friendly gaze. He never met her before, but at looking at his own apprentice, he could tell the younger tom held some sort of feelings towards this she cat. She was apart of Shadowclan--and, normally Springwind wouldn't approve of Hunterpaw liking another cat. Especially from a different clan, but this was a gathering. A time of peace and to make friends so he allowed it to slide.

''Hello, um...?'' The tri tabby cat realized he didn't know her name. He never remembered seeing her before, but she was a pretty apprentice. Young. Probably around Hunterpaw's age, and she seemed sweet. Very nice, and easy to approach. Though Springwind still wondered what could possibly be wrong with Hunterpaw at this time. The tom quickly glanced at his apprentice, hearing the name of the she cat slip out. Wrenpaw, eh?

''Wrenpaw.'' Springwind cleared his throat upon hearing Hunterpaw say it. He managed to give her a much friendlier smile, thinking that the two were friends. ''I imagine that you want some alone time with Wrenpaw to talk Hunterpaw?'' Springwind flicked his tail, as he gazed at the two apprentices. He didn't want to be in their business. Business that he didn't notice too soon. Believe it or not, this tom was pretty clueless on any situation that was going on. ''I can leave the two of you alone to talk in peace if you'd like?'' He gently touched his snout upon Hunterpaw's shoulders.
