Normally, Auroraflame would be angered quite easily when it came to rude actions, but strangely enough, the she-cat didn’t consider lack of eye contact rude. Not only that, but there was some sort of strange aura around this tom that made her even less likely to frown. It was as if something was bothering him. Was it her? Was she making him feel uncomfortable? Or was it something else? Auroraflame hated making cats uncomfortable. It always made the atmosphere more awkward and she hated having a conversation, unless she was confronting someone about something. Although she didn’t normally do that. As he replied, the ebony she-cat gave him a warm smile in return for his small one. If it really was her that was making him uncomfortable, then she was going to try to be as friendly as possible. But she wouldn’t try to hard, or she might become too overwhelming to deal with. As he spoke again, Auroraflame’s icy orbs lit up in surprise. She certainly hadn’t been expecting those words to come out of his mouth, but maybe she had been a bit too obvious. She was normally alright when it came to hiding her curiosity, but this time it had just been too hard. “Oh gosh….” Auroraflame trailed, eyes wide with horror. Of all reasons to resign, it had to be that one. “I hope she’s okay,” the deputy murmured quietly, eyes lowering to the ground briefly before she looked up again. The inky she-cat was very doubtful that Blackgaze was alright, but she should at least hope that the former deputy was handling the injury. “Sorry. I didn’t want to ask in case you didn’t wish to share the news,” Auroraflame said with an apologetic look in her icy gaze. Despite the situation, the she-cat couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle at his words. “Don’t worry, I don’t stalk others,” Auroraflame said, eyes lighting up in amusement. Noticing the way that his shoulders hunched and his head lowered, the amusement quickly vanished. “Are you okay? You seem….uncomfortable,” She said hesitantly. Maybe she should’ve just ignored it and pretended that everything was alright, but it wasn’t alright. She was going to find out what was bothering him and if it was her, she would just give up on socialising with the other deputies and find someone else to talk to. |
The black warrior could practically taste the surprise coming from the deputy, he had a feeling she wasn't actually expecting him to tell her, not that they had anything to hide. He wrapped his tail around his paws and turned his blue gaze back to the leaders for a moment before it was focused back upon Auroraflame. "She's fine, she's practically living in the Medicine cat's den now, her and Geckoleaf are the best of buds." he reassured, amusement flashing across his face for a moment. He liked that she was so worried about another clans deputy, it reassured him for a moment, and then he heard one of the leaders speaking with another, and all of that reassurement plummeted. He narrowed his eyes and pined his ears to the back of his head, but only for a second before his attention was given back to the other black deputy as she spoke, deciding that it would be best to make eye contact with the other since his little...episode had passed. Fallenstream let out a snicker "Oh good, cuz for a second there he had thought you were, you seem to be a pro after all." he stated, a smirk evident on her maw. He tried his hardest to speak to her as though she as a normal clan cat, that she wasn't a deputy, that she wasn't a senior, high rank warrior. It ate away at him, the fact that he himself was one as well, the very thing he had come to hate, something his father strove to be. It made his stomach churn, which in turn caused him to dig his claws into the dirt. Upon the molly's question he turned his lapis orbs forward and one again pinned his ears to the sides of his head, he didn't want to answer that, he really didn't want to give himself away about his beliefs on....everything, or what he believed his thoughts about higher ups were. "Auroraflame...what's the first part of your name mean? I don't think I've ever heard it." he asked, trying to doge the question.
