He followed her around the edges, keeping his paws firmly on the shore. Bronzeflash leaned his head in, a smooth laugh emitting from him. ''I'm not scared of anything.'' He replied, rather defensively. That had hit a nerve. Bronzeflash liked to believe he wasn't fearless at all. Of anything! It was like this she cat was taunting him! How dare she! - On impulse, the tom jumped into the water, splashing droplets around his surroundings. He was already in enough trouble for bringing her onto Riverclan territory. Not to mention his father didn't want him anywhere near the water currently. Though Bronzeflash paddled forward. Doing the exercise his mother had taught him when he was a young kit. ''Ah, you want me to do everything for you, hm?'' He reached her, his coat completely soggy. He flicked his ears. ''Because you're just so helpless? Don't worry. I can definitely save a damsel in distress.'' He snorted, padding around her in a circle as he got the feel of the water. Turning back to her, he flicked his tail up to splash her. ''But, I think you can do it yourself. Go swim towards the jumping fish,'' He instructed in the distance. The jumping salmon. He licked his jaws. ''Let me see how impressive you are. If you can catch it yourself. I'll give you an award.'' He flashed her a quick grin before paddling once more, allowing his attention to be consumed by the relaxing gaze. Now, the thought of an reward for her...shouldn't be so hard. ''Better yet - you're going to give me a reward. You should be rewarded enough by being in riverclan and in my presence.'' He spoke, darkly. Because he was a reward. And, she could get in trouble for being on this side of the territory. |
The light brown shecat blinked, watching the tom as he laughed. She instinctively calmed down a little as the tom jumped into the water and headed over to her.
Perhaps he was just waiting a moment? Her short fur was already much soggier than the tom's own long fur, but hers would dry faster.
"Do everything for me? I can care for myself, but you do know this territory a little better." She said, snorting slightly,
"I'm not helpless. A molly, sure. Distressed, maybe a bit." Her ears flattened as water splashed onto her fur, causing her to frown for just a second. She really didn't like the water, but decided to pretend she was for the Shadowclan cat's sake. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. She flicked her tail, turning slowly as the tom circled around her in the water. Chestnutsong's eyes seemed to glow slightly, watching the tom. "An award? Like what?" She purred before hearing his next sentence. She stopped purring and grumbled softly, still resembling the noise she had just made.
"Well, you probably shouldn't of let me follow you. And you shouldn't have come on my side of the border either, don't you think?" She mewed, blinking and turning towards the water. The shadowclan tom was right though, but she was too. She leapt at one of the jumping salmon, catching it in her claws and pinning it down. It was a little like catching a bird, but more slippery. She leaned her head down, grabbing the withering fish out of the water. It slowed to a stop, sophicating on air as she padded back to the tom.
