She hadn't refused his invitation, but the new apprentice had a feeling that the rejection would soon come, whenever the higher powers prompted the she-cat to finally... Do something. Yellow-green eyes trace the features of the warrior in the moonlight, almost like he was sizing her up for a meal. But that was too disturbing a thought, and Crocuspaw was just a strange young cat.
The brown and white tom prepares himself to simply walk off and continue his journey alone when another voice falls over them. He curses softly as Sundust steps out into view, greeting the pair. "Sun," he counters politely, though without any further apparent reaction. The tom genuinely couldn't recall the healer's full name, but that could hardly be blamed on negligence or secrecy. He was a damn rogue, a fish out of water among the Clan cats.
Realizing he was supposed to be meek and afraid, as well as mysteriously wounded, Crocuspaw considers switching up the act and testing how much the healer overheard. Could he pull it off?
But reason wins out- Vineglow would pick up on the act immediately now, and this healer would have more reason to believe the upset molly. He would have to let go of his former demeanor.
"I went on a walk, Vineglow followed me. I've just invited her to come with me, as I do need to go somewhere tonight. Why don't you come as well?" Hopefully the invitation would prolong his stability in the Clan. And indeed, neither cat had reason to find it all that suspicious apart from the timing of it.
