He twitched his ear and started grooming himself.

Barkskip nodded. "Alright, I won't argue." he said, his gaze falling slightly. "So she still wants to meet huh? Probably whats more info on us. Don't give it to her. Be real discreet if you do tell her anything." He said, offering advice for the taking. "Wait, could I come with you? I want to help drive her off. Besides, it'll give me something interesting to do."

"As long as no other cat finds out then yeah, by all means do come. But I trust you." He mewed, a glint of playfulness in his eye. "How are you getting on with that she-cat friend of yours umm...sage-"

"They won't." Barksip mewed certainly. "Besides,if anyone's suspicious, they'll probably just think that we're on a patrol. I'll get my little bro to help cover for us too. He's a good apprentice, he knows what to do." He said with a smile, his green hues glancing over to were Storkpaw was standing with two she cats. "Oh Sagefrost?" he asked, taken aback by the subject change. "Yeah, we're doing great. Taking it slow, really, but I think we're in a good spot." He said smiling still, his gaze returning to Darkwillow.

"Your sure are a nice cat. You can hang with us anytime and if you ever need anything come to me. So lets go for the family walk. Oh and Darkkit your family now." Meowed Flowerpetal.

Now DarkWillow took the opportunity and teased Barkskip. "You think you'll ask to be mates? I mean you two are pretty close...you have been since youth..." Now he was serious. But he didn't mind whatever his friend chose because DarkWillow would support whatever Barkskip chose to do.

DarkKit's eyes shone with absolote excitement. His stomach had butterflies and he suddenly felt so hyper, he could vomit up beams of sunlight. HopeKit...she had brought so much...hope...into his life so far. He was the happiest he could be...and he'd never been happy before. All he felt he needed in life were good friends.

Barkskip glanced away, his eyes flashing in embarrassment. He felt uneasy talking about mates and such around his friend. Although he wasn't comfortable with the question, he nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, I think I might. You have a point. Maybe we just need to tie the knot...." he said, his voice quiet.

Pebbleskip muttered something, she settled near the tree

Timberpaw yawned, his pale pink tongue revealed for a moment before he stretched out, not exhausted any longer and feeling very rested. He looked over at his friend and smiled...a small smile, barely visible. He moved over towards her, glad to have the uncomfortable hot feeling from before gone. It was replaced by a warm sort of inner glow, feeling happy and just comfortable inside. He was so happy that Apurva had joined ThunderClan. He liked her a lot. She was so friendly, and she didn't make him feel stupid or unwanted...he was glad of it. It was a great feeling, feeling wanted and cared about...Timberpaw stretched out once more, being careful not to accidentally brush against her. He wasn't sure whether she had really noticed him yet or not, and as though to get her attention, he brushed up against her. Lightly, just to sort of get her focus on him, and he smiled once more. "Have a good rest?" He asked in a soft purr, his hues fixed on her.
All attention seemed to be fixed on her as he spoke, he barely noticed the other cats in the apprentices' den. It was as though he couldn't look away. The hot feeling began to return and he sighed, feeling his ears growing warm. He was sure they were beginning to turn pink and he didn't like it. He didn't like the fact that he wasn't in control of his own emotions. They should belong to him, and not be controlled by outside forces...and yet some mysterious outside force was causing him to be uncomfortable and warm and feel strange and he hated it more then anything else. This was scary. The fact that he might not be in control here scared him. But if it had to happen to him with someone...he was glad he was with Apurva. She wouldn't judge him. She never had. He had never had a reason to believe that she might abandon him or dislike him in any way.

Apurva was startled slightly as she realized that Timberpaw was awake, and she looked down at him, waiting patiently as he sat up, and for a moment, she wondered if it'd been somehow her fault that he'd woken up, although, deciding that it really didn't matter, the pretty molly drew a paw over her ears, attempting to flatten a tuft of rather spiky looking gur on the top of her head, although it always stuck up like that in the morning. During the day it usually flattened out, although not always. She had nearly forgotten the presence of Timberpaw, but when she felt something brush up against her, and the sound of his voice, she turned her head towards him, wondering how long he'd been awake, or if he'd only just woken up. Surprise sparked in her eyes, but she blinked it away, thinking for a moment before answering his question. “One of the best I've had all leaf-bare. And yours?” the molly replied, yawning to reveal a pink mouth and black lips. She couldn't help but notice the soft purr in his voice as he'd asked that, but she didn't question it. Apurva's fur began to prickle with uncomfortable hot sensation, but she tried to hide her discomfort at the feeling that was spreading beneath her fur. Ducking her head and giving her shoulders a few swift licks to hide her face, the molly thought of what to do. She most certainly didn't want to be stuck in this den all day, not that the den was bad. As it wasn't. It was more comfortable than any of the dens she'd never made during travelling, or any other of the dens she'd stayed in with other loners when she'd just left TwolegPlace. Looking back up, she noticed that he wasn't looking away from her, and it made her a bit more uncomfortable than before. It felt as if she'd layer herself down on an ant hill, and her pelt was itching with discomfort. She flattened her ears slightly, hoping the brown tabby wouldn't notice it and take it to mean the wrong thing, as she didn't want to go artound upsetting him. She enjoyed his company, no matter how uncomfortable it made her, and as to why it made her so uncomfortable, Apurva had no real idea, although she hoped that she would come to understand it soon, then maybe she could figure out how to make it stop, while still being around Timberpaw, but not yet.

First and foremost was the journey to TwolegPlace she would be taking in secret with Maplefur, then her new name and mentor, and then speaking with Timberpaw, but for now, the multicolored calico was fairly content to be here, just talking with her new friend, Daypaw. “Oh, that's pretty cool. Maplefur explained it to me somewhat, and so did Timberpaw, but never as fully or in as much detail as you have. Thanks.” after that, the former loner wondered if she had any more questions, when he said something that seemed a little odd, as if perhaps he thought she didn't know how to fight, or at least, that's what it sounded like he said, and she cocked her head to one side curiously. “I know, but at least Ratnight is gone, eh? He was terrible.” Her voice had dropped down to a low whisper, as she was careful that only Daypaw could hear her. She was just so used to having to speak like that when talking of Ratnight or anything else along those lines, so she'd fallen into the habit of doing so. She shifted, lifting up one paw and drawing it over her ears carefully. She sort of wished she'd said nothing about it at all, but it was too late to take that back, so she shook off her unease over it, knowing there was no sense in simply wishing it, so she stopped. Memories of the battle that's given Maplefur a limp flashed in her mind. She knew taht she would never forget that horrible battle, but there was no sense hiding from what had happened! She'd helped, and taht was all that mattered. They'd one, and she'd finally decided that this was where she belonged. First she'd saved Lionpaw from the fire, then Maplefur during the battle, and she hoped to continue saving others for as long as there was breath in her body. She would serve ThunderClan. She knew that that was where her paw steps led her, and Apurva knew well enough to follow them, no matter where they took her.

She looked up, realizing that she had sort of zoned off and was staring into space, and sdhe flicked her ears, wrapping her teal very neatly over her paws and casting a quick glance around. The smells were still strong and slightly overwhelming, but they had become quite normal, and she knew that in time they would fade altogether due to familiarity. She refocused her bright green gaze on Daypaw. “I wonder who my mentor will be....” And how Blade will react to my joining of ThunderClan. The molly added silently, hoping that the large brown tabby with deep amber eyes wouldn't be angry with her. She knew that the menacing looking and large tabby was actually the opposite of how he appeared, and was a nervous, kind and clumsy cat who would never harm a fly, but still, she wondered.

Daypaw smiled, happy that she understood, he nodded his head vigorously, hearing the words made him a little happy "True, that is a good point, he is gone, and so are all of the other bad leaders." he whispered before lifting his head, he watched as the molly began to daydream, curiosity washed over him, wondering what was running through the former loners mind, but he wouldn't pry, not yet anyways, but if she continued to space out eventually he would ask what was on her mind. Luckily for the molly she snapped out of it, giving the golden warrior a slightly worried look, he wanted to ask, he wanted to help, but the two just met and he wouldn't bombard her with questions just yet "I don't know, there's a lot of really good mentors out there that would love to have you as an apprentice. I hope I get a good mentor, it's been about a moon since I've been trained, well actually that's not true, I go and train with my brother and his mentor every once in a while." he shrugged, turning his brilliant ocean blue orbs upon the leaders den, images of ratnight flashed in his mind, but he quickly got rid of the man with a shake of his head. The young tom narrowed his eyes and scanned the clearing, smiling widely when he spotted a warrior sleeping beside the Nursery "How about them? They are one of the sweetest warriors I know." he purred, pointing his tail in the direction of the napping warrior. As he was looking for potential mentors for Apurva he was also trying to pick one out for himself, it's been about a moon since Darkclaw, his mentor, died in the battle against Skyclan, or should he say, the battle against the evil leaders, he missed him dearly, a yearning for training began to blossom in his heart as he remembered his late mentor. He lashed his tail and flattned his ears, annoyed with the fact that he was thinking of himself instead of trying to help his new companion "Did you find anyone?" he asked, turning his soft gaze back to the molly siting infront of him, wondering if she found anyone she liked.
