It reminded her of being an apprentice. They reached the top as she panted. "N-Nah, you aren't a mousebrain." She panted, ears pricking as she gave his ear a friendly cuff. Her chest heaved from the long run, but she still felt energized. She hadn't been able to do that in a long time. Her gaze turned to where his was, the view making her inhale. Caracalspirit flopped next to him, gazing at the sky. It was the best moment she'd had in awhile, and a tiny laugh bubbled out. "W-Well now ya don't have to." She chuckled, still slightly out of breath from the run as she spoke. A small purr coming from her. She returned the grin, her ears pricked as she purred louder. She sat up, her fur ruffled and a few strands of grass, which she shook out, clinging to it. She glanced over at him, a goofy smile on her face and her tail flicking. She turned her head to him, laying next to him with a happiness on her face. The air was warm, calm, and she felt at ease. All tensions between the Clans pushed to the back of her mind as she purred and lay next to Hawkfeather, her whiskers twitching. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling something big was going to happen.

Hawkfeather chuckled at her words, looking at the beautiful she-cat laying in the grass beside him and he couldn’t help the smile that slipped onto his maw once more. He closed his eyes for a few seconds as a calming, warm breeze ruffle through his short, tan fur. The young warrior watched the clouds slowly drift by above them, his tail twitching in the grass beside him as this was happening. “Ever since I was born, other cats always called me weak and skinny, not strong enough to be a clan cat. The other apprentices would make fun of me due to that, Owlspark was the eldest apprentice at the time and was the only one that stood up for me, he would scare all those apprentices without trouble, heh.” He remarked, looking up at the sky in another pensive mood, “I wasn’t always the confident tom that everyone really knows me as. I was once a scared, little apprentice. I suppose that it serves me right that I was never chosen to go on that patrol to rescue one of our own from Thunderclan - they want the stronger, tougher warriors of Windclan.” Hawkfeather shook his head, “Everything is my life's seeming to catch up with me. My best friend finally settled down with someone, heh, the lucky mouse-brain had the courage to speak his mind to Firesparks.” He glanced at Caracalspirit out of the corner of his eye for a small moment before looking back towards the sky, “And then there’s me, only loved one she-cat my entire life and still the scared little apprentice that I was so many moon ago.” He blinked at his paws, the warrior going silent with his words.
