The deputy seemed so excited, it was almost hard to say no - but Stonegazer had always been good at saying “no.” It was his favorite word or something, or at least appeared to be. A small smile tugged at the corners of his maw when Powdernose tripped, but he got up and padded over to see if his clanmate was alright. ”You should be more careful,” He scolded at first, but his expression softened slightly as he nosed at the other tom, trying to push him upwards. You are okay, aren’t you? The remark was close to concerned, or at least as close to it as Stonegazer would ever be… he wasn’t concerned often, the cats he hung out with could take care of themselves and the other warriors weren’t cats that he cared about more than clanmates. He supposed Powdernose wasn’t either, but… still… the younger warrior was the closest thing to a friend the tom had made in a while.

powdernose let out an embarrassed huff, ears flattening. his tail lashed and he lifted himself to his paws, shaking his fur out. "i'm fine," the deputy grumbled, eyes cast downwards. he sat down and groomed debris from his pelt, lips curling at the taste of dirt. "whatever. either way, playing a game may help you to stop being a stu-" powdernose cut himself off with a cough. "it'll allow you to be more relaxed. maybe i may even get a smile out of you," he purred with a smirk, head tilted to the side.

his gaze brightened into that of a pleading look. "please? for me?" the words were said half-jokingly, though powdernose was being serious. he enjoyed time spent with stonegazer, even if he humiliated himself in front of the tom.
