He didn't know if she carried ulterior motives, and he didn't bother to bring it up. She could be innocent. Just naturally sweet, and that would had been okay. Dream could be friendly...when he wanted. Though he wasn't the bold one out the duo of his best friend. That was the other one. Dream was more...reclusive. He liked having company, being able to charm many of them without even trying. But, other than that. Dream found that he could think straightforwardly without others around him to dampen his mood. When he turned to glance at her, her eyes were shining. Dream gave a smile back, though it was more...cautious than anything. As stated before, the tom didn't know her intentions. And, even if Dream could be kind at times - he wasn't. Not all the time at least. ''I can definitely tell why your name is Marigold,'' He roamed his eyes over the she'cat small size, noting the color of her fur. A dark ginger like the flower. His whiskers twitched in amusment, ''Is it alright if I call you Marigold, hm?''

As their topic of conversation switched, Dream simply nodded at her words, becoming a tad distance as the flood recalled back in his mind. It had came unexpectedly, but Dream refused to show that he was scared. He was a pretty skillful warrior with sturdy limbs that was easy to walk on rough terrain. She was right about that though. The families that were lost. Dream could only lift his muzzle into the air to embrace the sky because he had nothing to say to that. ''Well, life is short.'' He muttered. ''You're here one moment, and gone the next.'' Death was not something he wanted to think about. Especially since he was living. Still breathing. To him, that's all that mattered. As they switched over to talking about the different clans, Dream allowed a small smile to grace his muzzle. ''Heh, it's just an idea.'' That's something Dream had plenty of. Many ideas. Artful ideas. Picturesque ideas. ''Personally, I like having other clans around. It adds diverse, you know what I mean? One clan would just be pretty boring.'' His paws started to feel comfortable again. Comfortable enough to start walking, but he did not wish to get lost within the crowd. ''I'm pretty loyal to Shadowclan and all. Just the different clans, and the more cats.'' It didn't pass him if there were other clans in the forest. Dream had his fair share of roaming around and meeting different cats...some of which he regretted. Two of which were here. But, being the tom he was, he forced himself to forget about them and enjoy the time his clan would stay here. He turned to glance at her quickly, huffing his response. ''Yeah, hundreds in Shadowclan. I don't know why you made me so lucky,'' His voice was filled with sarcasm, but the good type of sarcasm, that showed he was amused with her company. ''And, I can be very intimidating if I wanted to be,'' He proclaimed, puffing out his chest to display his pride. ''Don't tempt me though - That's definitely not a side you wish to see.'' It was a fair warning. Dream had a temper like others, but his was something that was hard to get to. And, once it was there, it was deadly. ''But, I'm sure we'll be good friends.'' He smiled at her. Friends was something Dream liked to make.

"Why no problem." She mewed, her eyes shining with amusement. Marigoldstream was a bit cautious with her replies, just in case his friendliness was a bit too...fake. It didn't seem like that, but she needed to be just a little held-back. She knew he had a bit of a temper, or so she'd heard, so it was best to just agree and lightly tease for now. That seemed like a good plan, since they just met. Marigoldstream was naturally sweet, but she knew some others weren't. She'd met some pretty rude cats, but Dream didn't seem very rude, or even snarky. Marigoldstream smiled at him happily, though it was a bit unsure. He wasn't doing anything odd, but she wasn't totally stupid, she needed to make sure he was safe to befriend. She was oblivious in love, not friendship. "Yeah, it is quite obvious." She chuckled, her tail curling slightly. Her fur was dark ginger, almost the exact same color as the flower her prefix was after. After a second of tossing her thoughts, she shrugged. "I don't see why not." She mewed.

Marigoldstream didn't like talking of the flood. It reminded her that lives had been lost in the fray, some kits or elders who couldn't save themselves. She shuddered slightly, again thanking the stars she had made it out alright. Perhaps a bit more anxious than normal, but not scarred or anything. She didn't like to think of death, it wasn't scary to her, well of course it unnerved her but other than that, it was just...disturbing to think about. At least she was still alive and kicking, able to serve her Clan. "It'd be cool to have another Clan, though. Something new." She mewed, wondering if there was one out there, somewhere, away from the main Clans. "And if all the cats were the same" she shivered slightly, "Then RiverClan would have every cat swimming, WindClan would have every cat running, ThunderClan would have others falling from trees, SkyClan would have everyone in a gorge, and ShadowClan would have everyone liking the shadows." She chuckled, putting each of the Clans into one little group they'd become if there was only one Clan. Her paws had regained feeling, which was good. She could have walked around a bit, but she didn't want to be swept away in the crowd of cats. Besides, it was nice to sit with Dream and just talk about..stuff. "Same." She agreed. She was completely loyal to ShadowClan, she left ThunderClan for it, but she liked the other Clans and her friends there. She didn't really have any friends in RiverClan, but that'd probably change. She chuckled at his friendly sarcasm, her own sarcasm having leaked a bit before. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind." She teased. He probably had some sort of temper, though it hadn't shown. Guess i'm doing something right, he hasn't gone insane from my company. She thought, smiling still. "I'd like that." She mewed happily.
