The tomcat heard Buckbranch’s slip, loud and clear. He smiled, trying to hold his maw closed as to not start laughing. But the way the deputy reacted to his slip-up caused Flintstar to burst out chortling. He had never imagined Buckbranch as... well to be honest he’d never imagined Buckbranch as anything. But especially not as a tomcat that would slip-up about his romantic likings. The leader was finally able to compose himself after a moment, and he shook his head, green eyes full of amused mirth. “I’m sorry Buckbranch, just... the way you reacted to realizing you said that out loud...” He chuckled again, but then regained his composure, looking at the deputy with a fond smile. “So in reality, there’s deeper intentions as to why you want her to help you? Is that what I’m hearing? He smirked, enjoying teasing the tom about something lighthearted like this. It had been a while since Flintstar himself had dealt with crushes, so seeing it in another cat made him feel like a young warrior again, gossiping with his friends about the prettiest she-cats in the clan. “But you are right, you should be getting to know as many of your clanmates as possible. Though it seems to me you want to get to know Foxbound a little better than most.” He smirked again, enjoying the turn this conversation had taken way too much. He then shook his head at Buckbranch’s optimism, laughing darkly. “Oh Buckbranch, when it comes to she-cats, the worst is what will happen.”
