I'm in exile, permanently, and how can I leave? It's not easy to betray the Syndicate. There'll always be cats, hunting me down to kill me if I do that,” she muttered, shaking her head despairingly. Phantom just didn't see a way that this would ever work, and then she looked up, her eyes widening. The situation felt hopeless... but maybe there was an answer. “Maybe it's where my heart lies, but not the rest of me. I love you... but WindClan isn't my home anymore....” she said, turning her head away to hide her expression. She loved me all this time? How did I not see this? Maybe I was the blind one.... Phantom thought bitterly, looking back. “Shineflower... I'm sorry,” she said quietly. “Can we be friends again? Or... maybe more than that....” the last part she uttered so quietly, even she had to strain to hear it.

Cavemist smiled and teasingly bumped his shoulder against Brambleflash's, then pulled away sharply and looked up at the sky. “I bet everybody thinks that. Or maybe, I'm just really, really slow, and you aren't fast?” he laughed, looking back at his friend with a purr rising in his chest. He bounced along at a brisk pace, a spring in his step and a smile on his face, ready to get back to camp.

ShineFlower stepped forward to comfort the she-cat and they nuzzled eachother. "Of course...we can be whatever you want...you think you're in this alone? No...If they hunt you down...I'll come for them...if they find you...they've found me too...if they try to kill you...I'll jump in the way...If you drop dead..." she paused for a moment. There was a lot of tension. "We drop dead...together" her voice shook at the last part and soon ShineFlower found herself crying too. She buried her muzzle in Phantom's silver calico fur, soaking up her tears. @Bad Wolf
(Honestly this is probably my favourite part...we have just literally made some of my favourite quotes...this is a movie moment right here...I feel myself crying already)
