Confusion engulfed his features, his green eyes searching her face for concrete signs of a single emotion that he would be capable of understanding. And then he felt the warmth of her gaze, and he immediately knew Daisyshade was happy. He smiled softly, glad that she was not upset, but concern still littered his eyes.

Daisyshade loved him. She loved him! Tumblestep stood frozen in shock. Yes, he knew she had feelings for him, but he had never accepted it due to the fact that he had not loved her. But now that the feeling was mutual, it felt so different to be hearing her say it. He liked it. He swiftly recovered from his episode of shock, heat warming his pelt and a shy smile growing across his face. Tumblestep laughed a shy laugh, glancing down at his paws nervously before looking back at Daisyshade. Anxiety was clear in his eyes, but otherwise, he may as well be the most confident cat in all the clans. Yes, he was incredibly nervous, but he wanted this, and it came naturally. ``Cats who love one another... They... They commit to one another for the rest of their lives by... By becoming mates.`` He inched closer to Daisyshade until he could feel her warm breath on his muzzle. ``So... Daisyshade, will you be my mate?``

Daisyshades heart dropped and suddenly her head snapped up at him. She opened her mouth for a moment but shut it quickly. Moments ago he didn't know what love was... He didn't feel love... He didn't understand but now all of a sudden he's... What? Beats of adrenaline surged through her veins and than she just couldn't feel anything. She was caught for words for the first time in a long time. She opened her mouth again and let it hang agap for a moment or two "Tumblestep... Do you know what your doing?" she asked. She was almost sure he could hear her beating heart right through her chest. It almost seemed to blot out everything else she could hear. She looked away from him for a long moment. A blush appearing on her cheeks and she bit her tongue. What else can I say? What on earth could I possibly say? I love him and this is what I've always wanted but I'm not so sure he knows what he's doing... Daisyshade sighed and pressed her nose onto his for a split second and she opened her eyes back at him.

"Tumblestep... It's a thousand times yes.. But are you sure you know what your doing?" she asked. Examining his face closely. She was touched, she loved him so dearly she would sacrifice her life for him any day. Yet. Her hesitance was only for the fear they break down their relationship rushing into it like this. "Oh dear starclan..." she whispers. She rested herself down on her paws in a crouched position. Than shut her eyes for a long moment. She raised herself back up after a moment. She examined his face again and said nothing. Only held the silence in her bright eyes.
