She mumbled, her usually lifeless tone dripping with snarky undertones. Truly, Shrikepaw couldn't find a cat that annoyed her more. It was kinda weird, but anyways, it didn't matter. All that mattered was getting back to Windclan and her nest, where a cloud-filled dream duly awaited her. It was a comforting thought. Nonetheless, though, it was not enough to soothe the growing feeling of stress that had started to overtake her ever since they started walking through the territory. It's just because I don't like Cottonspirit. A believable lie, but a lie nevertheless.

He scoffed at her remark, "Oh of course you do! But think, flowers, rabbits!" He mewed in a peppy tone that lightened his own spirits even more then they were. Cottonspirit tilted his head back up to the sky noticing a patch of heather that they could play in some time. He smiled at Shrikepaw, "Now! Flowers or rabbits?" He asked happily as he twitched his white tail back and fourth happily as he awaited her response. But he knew that she hated him, but she didn't care at all. This was a good time for him.
