The thought was harsh, but Blossomkit had to make sure that she was careful about her personal connections to other cats. Copperkit loved her very much and got overprotective of her. Way, way, way too overprotective. And he was so annoying about it too... Blossomkit didn't have a lot of bad thoughts about other cats, because all the other cats seemed to always walk away when she did, so she tried to keep her maw shut. It was the smart thing to do. "I'm okay. Sorry, just... y'know, nerves and stuff." Nerves and stuff? How weak that must have sounded. But at least she wouldn't have to talk now. At least she would shut up and keep her maw carefully closed, forever being cautious of the tom who was so friendly towards her. His intentions were still questionable. But at least now she had someone who either really cared or even if he didn't, at least he was pretending to care. Either way was going to make her just as happy for the moment.[/CENTER]

Ravenkit pinned his ears back nervously when the shriek erupted from the depths of Blossomkit's throat, but when she explained that she'd rather him stay, he kicked the moss aside and set himself down carefully beside Blossomkit. He tucked his forepaws neatly under his belly and stroked his tail lightly along the she-kit's flank comfortingly. He didn't speak; if she needed to, she would, and he would reply as needed, but for now, he guessed that she just needed someone next to her.
When she said that it was just nerves, he gave a nod, barely noticeable. "I understand." he replied quietly. He really did understand, too; Ravenkit had been a lot more timid before he had met Shadepaw. The big Apprentice had brought him out of his shell a little and made him feel more wanted.
