Cattail Pond

[MEAT ANGELS]

[ @thelabradorr ]

Halfnose felt their grin widen as Honeyblossom trailed after them, on the lovely trek to the pond! Whatever it was called pond was a great romantic location! Halfnose’s interest changed quickly, and this was a perfect example of such. Their original intent was to cut apart the she-cat, but now all attention was focused upon those beautiful eyes... and face. Halfnose would go to any form of manipulation for them. Oh! The thought of it was driving them mad! Halfnose couldn’t look Honeyblossom in the eye, it was too much. They stuck their tongue out of their mouth, and gave a lash of their tail. Here they were! The ... whatever it was called.... pond.
“Ah, my darling honeycomb! We have arrived!”
Any form of manipulation... oh... they wanted her eyes so much! Halfnose stuck their face directly in front of Honeyblossom’s, staring deep into every part of her face. It was perfection. “Did I mention how beautiful you are? Ohhh... I just want you-...” They trailed off. Stick to the plan, get the face! “To know how much I adore you! Heh!”
They passed it off with a sheepish smile, and pulled away. “Anyways, look at this lake! It’s kinda ugly, not gonna lie..” oh, everything seemed ugly, compared to those eyes!

Burrface swiped away the moisture on her whiskers. Brighttalon's voice startled her, though whispery and quiet. Turning to look, she didn't quite recognize the cat who greeted her. Burrface took a deep inhale, and was comforted with the scent of Riverclan camp.

Having verified that her companion is a clanmate, she returned his greeting with a polite smile. Without speaking, she looked at a patch of ground next to her as if inviting Brighttalon to sit.

Honeyblossom - @H3ARTBOUNC_3

Honeyblossom fell slightly behind her newfound acquaintance not only from fear but also so the conversations between them would be limited. However, the pond soon changed her point of view on the situation. It had been quite some time since the she-cat had visited the pond and forgot how lovely it truly was. She blushed as Halfnose's eyes met briefly with hers. How odd, I wonder what their intentions are now?

Honeyblossom giggled softly at the cat's small tongue sticking out as they talked. Nodding to Halfnose, Honeyblossom spoke,"You are quite the tour guide Halfnose." It was strange to Honeyblossom how their conversation began to turn friendly, but she went with it. As the cat continued to call her Honeycomb, Honeyblossom rolled her eyes not caring enough to correct them.

Before Honeyblossom could finish admiring the rest of the pond, Halfnose appeared directly in-front of her face. Spooked by the sudden invasion of personal space, Honeyblossom froze. Is this where they kill me? Luckily, it was not the case and instead the cat began to compliment her. A bit taken aback by the situation, Honeyblossom smiled,"Well thanks I guess?"

"Didn't mean to startle you," Brighttalon said. It was probably the closest thing to an apology he'd ever said. He stared over the pond, the water rippling slightly, a sure sign of fish. But fishing would have to wait, he decided. He gave a half smile back to Burrface and padded over, sitting down. "How are you?" The scents of the pond and its surroundings flooded his nostrils, the familiar smell calming. This was his go-to place, when he had to take out his anger on something that wasn't a cat, or to get away occasionally from the business of Clan life. @dinosaur

"Not at all." Burrface replied with a laugh. "I should've heard you coming." She added with a frown, looking towards the water as he did. She watched as a fish's glimmering scales caught the light in the water. Brighttalon's question made her look away.
"Not too poorly, thank you for asking." Burrface looked the cat up and down. "What are you called?" She inquired, raising a paw to her nose, swiping at an invisible feather that made it itch. @Phoenix Fall

Cottonstrike lead Copperpaw to Cattail Pond. He wished he had done this sooner, but with his newborn kits he wanted to be with them all the time. He finally found time for his apprentice. He missed training them so much no matter what they called themselves he was there for them. "Today I'm going to show you how to swim. Once you get used to it it's the easiest thing.", he meowed. Cottonstriek knew it was cold, but that shouldn't bother any Riverclan cats.

Brighttalon was a bit confused as to why Burrface looked away, but he supposed it wasn't any of his business and that he shouldn't care anyways. Nobody's ever cared about you. The voice started at it again. He fought off the thought of growling, knowing there was no use in scaring the she-cat next to him when the thing he was growling at wouldn't be affected by it. He nodded in reply, a little surprised by her next question. Cats normally knew the names of everyone else in their Clan. But he replied, nonetheless. "Brighttalon." He did know this cat, Burrface, so there was no need to bother her with a question about it. Then again, he had a way of finding out the names of every cat. It was very rare that he didn't know the name of a fellow RiverClanner. But that was just him. And one of the reasons you have no friends. Okay, that one he knew wasn't true. He did have cats that didn't like him, but he wasn't quite that lonely. The voice pushed its luck with that one. @dinosaur

"Ah, aah! That rings a bell." She meowed, waving her paw at him. Burrface looked back at the water, and they shared a moment of silence. Bit of an quiet boy, isn't he? She thought to herself. He seems gloomy.

Burrface pointed to the pond with a claw. "You're here to grab some lunch?" She asked with a friendly smile. "If you don't mind, I could use some help. My paws are sore today, you know." Burrface flicked her tail side to side.

Brighttalon didn't reply after Burrface's next comment, not entirely sure what to say. So he nodded. He sat in the silence after that, the quiet not particularly bothering him. He probably would've sat like that the whole time, if Burrface hadn't asked another question. "Yes, I am," he mewed. "And no, I don't mind," he added, getting up and padding to the edge of the pond, close enough to fish but far enough for his shadow to not fall where the prey could see it. @dinosaur

Burrface was pleased that he accepted her request. At the very least, he has manners. She thought to herself. Her whiskers twitched as she watched him inch towards the pond.

Burrface was getting used to the quiet between them now- she didn't necessarily mind, but she wondered if Brighttalon was in a foul mood. She couldn't ask now, however; the pair was concentrating on nabbing a fish.
