Shallowshiver | they/them | @Rockfall

The warrior met Echosongs teasing smile with one of their own, though it was much, much more forced. Not that they had to force a smile when they were around the silver molly, stars no. She was one of the few cats that were able to make them smile so easily with every encounter they had, and now was no exception. It was just...at some point they got so tired where smiling seemed unnecessary.

Almost without thinking they scooted a bit closer to the other warrior until their sides were touching, a small sigh leaving the huge cat. Shallowshiver wasnt often one for showing physical affection unpromted, they always preferred going about it in other ways. But now, for some reason that they had yet to figure out, the closer they were to Echosong the better. "...You're a good cat, you know" they spoke after a moment of silence, orange eyes peering through the darkness at the cat beside them.

They hummed lightly as she started speaking again, an understanding nod following. They definitely knew what she was feeling, that was for certain. Well, minus the two-leg part of course. Honestly they had almost forgotten about Echosongs kittypet past, but when they did remember it did nothing to change the way they saw the cat before them. She was smart, and strong, and brave, and considerate, and welcoming, and they werent sure they even deserved to call her a friend.

"A lot has been going on" they said simply, "Im tired, but theres always things to do before I can relax. I wont be able to sleep soundly if I pass up an opportunity to help the clan"
