The chilly outside air buffeted the russet tom's fur slightly, causing him to shiver. His alert leaf green gaze swept around the clearing as he sat below the Thunderwillow, his tail wrapped neatly around his wide paws.

A scent hit him, quite strong actually. Acornpatch sniffed, and finally saw Mistyshade lumbering out of the warriors den, she looked... dead. Well, as dead as a living cat could look. A small pang of sadness hit him, no cat should go through suffering like that, not even those fishy RiverClan cats.

Silently and slowly, he padded to the black-pelted mollie's side, rubbing his pelt against her's. "You okay? You seem.. down." He had tried to find the word he was looking for without upsetting her.

Mistyshade's head snaps up. She sees Acornpatch in front of her. "Oh.. Uh.. I'm fine," she meows quietly. It does ' t really sound real. Would Acornpatch believe her? Maybe she could... Shift the topic? That could bring him to forget how she just looked, how down she was, how she was drowining in herself...

Mistyshade forces herself to ignore the topic. She looks back at Acornpatch. "Maybe... Do you,,, want to go... Hunting with me?," she asks, stammering. She needed to make something up fastly... "I... I know I'm,,, uh,,, stammering, but... That's just a cold."

A shiver creeps up in the black tabby molly's inside. She tries to hold it, but can't. Her feelings are threatening to burst out of her. Maybe she should tell Acornpatch the truth...? But what would that bring? One more cat worrying about her? That wasn't what she needed right now...

He furrowed his brow, and gave her a soothing lick on the ear. "Sure, but You are gonna tell me what's wrong." The very short tom declared, padding beside her as they walked out the camp entrance. JUst because he didn't know her well doesn't mean he was gonna let her be lonely. Every cat needed a friend!
@Starry I changed him up a bit so Acorn is vv short and vv gay and vv quiet, he only speaks to his siblings and honey, and appearently now mistyshade

Mistyshade sighs. "It's complicated...," she starts, thinking about what to say. "Loyalty drives me to this. I'm exhausted, feel like I can't carry on and I'm drowning in myself," she replies curtly.

"Drowning in yourself... That's one way to put it.." He mumbled, looking up at the vv tall mollie. The rather quiet tom just padded along beside her, rubbing up against her. He found her as a friend, and nothing more. Besides, he like toms. He shook his head as a slight blush came over his face, he was really sure about liking just toms? He had caught himself staring at Mistyshade countless times before.. But this time was different. "Do you really want to hunt..? It's way to cold."



would you mind if he becomes, sooner or later, the 'mate' she is looking for?
