"W-What's going on?" He asked shyly, his paws slightly trembling at the thought of him being the reason why she was sad.

*EmeraldNight leaned against HerringPaw slightly, her body shaking. She was making high pitched noises in the back of her throat, her eyes stricken* It's... its just... I... I have been lonely for so long... and you decided to be nice to me... but... I keep having dreams of our Clan falling one day, and... if it does, I'll lose myself and... everyone else, includng you... I already lost my dearest love long ago... *she closed her eyes briefly, and tears escaped from their corners. She was taking sharp intakes of breath, on the verge of a breakdown*

I'll have to pay her a personal visit sometime and get to know her more. Maybe she'll have some time as an apprentice as well to where maybe the three of us could go out?" He suggested. A family hunt among the three of them seemed very pleasant, maybe even wonderful. He knew, and felt bad that he had not been spending as much time with them as he most likely should have, but too had his warrior duties to complete.
"I bet you miss them. I can't say I blame you though. If I were to be stuck in a den and nest for six to seven moons, I'm sure that I would have died of boredom by now. Kudos to you for surviving like this, something I don't think I would be very good at." He chuckled light heartedly. The blue gray tom stole a glance at his mate as she stared off across the clearing, watching their daughter. He knew at he should get his head out of the clouds and be a better father to the young she kit, she probably really wanted it and he had been to busy to see it. He had to fix that before it was too late. It was easy to keep up with the cat he had been in love with for a long time, but it had been ages since he had dealt with kits, did he have what it took to be a good father? Surely. Cobaltshade seemed to trust him with it, so he would.
He watched her as she gazed across the clearing, looking over her stunning features, he stared into her beautiful eyes and emitted a soft pur. Sure he hadn't just fallen for her because she was pretty, but because of her personality. The looks were an added bonus, he could say. He saw her snatch a glance down at his carp and felt a dreaded feeling that he had not offered to share. Of course, he had only taken a few bites from it, so it was mostly there anyways. He used his rather large paws to push the prey towards his companion. "Here, if you would like it you can have the rest, I wasn't that hungry anyways." He said in a polite manner.

{I think Flashkit is a boy xD}
That was the thing about relationships that intrigued Cobaltshade to no end, how it was symbiotic and seemed to effect you in ways that no one could imagine, just from talking to one certain cat, how that one cat could make or break your day, how them being happy could in turn make you happy, just like Chaseripple did to her, and just like she did for him. No cat ever took her as the type who got into a relationship, what with her cold and calculating nature, but what this tom did was show the world a whole new side to this she-cat, show that she could be a mother, that she could be warm and caring, that she too, could be like everyone else. Smiling as she spoke with her mate, the Russian Blue didn't take her eyes off of him, taking a moment to take in the features of his face as if to paint a masterpiece of him in her mind. Ears perking up at his suggestion of the three going out together once Flashkit had been apprenticed, the queen nodded with eagerness, the tip of her tail curling in delight at the image it conjured in her mind. "That sounds absolutely wonderful! A little family outing, yes, yes indeed I would love for that to happen." She purred out with about as much excitement as any cat has seen in her, those blue-green eyes of hers practically sparkling with that look of excitement and joy.
"Don't get me wrong, the other queens make good company, but I certainly felt like a fish out of water in there. And the kits are good entertainment and all, but truthfully, I'd much rather be out swimming and hunting. But again, luckily enough, two more months and I can be back to it." Breathing out slowly, Cobaltshade allowed her gaze to wander again, something she found herself doing more and more as more time passed she was stuck in the nursery, as if she were.. Bored with it. A terrible thing for a mother to say or even think, but that's the type of cat she was, she couldn't help it and truthfully she was trying her best to raise this kit. She heard the soft purr of her mate and looked over to find him looking at him, causing her to chuckle and start purring herself, gently running her nose along his cheek for a moment before looking at the carp as he offered it to her, a sheepish smile crossing her muzzle.
"I don't want to eat all of your meal, I've already eaten this morning but I am dreadfully hungry.." Flicking her ear, she looked down at the fish and felt the familiar twinge of hunger. "Alright alright, I'll have a few bites, but don't let me eat too much!" With a small smile, she would dip her head down to take a bite of the fish.

Echodusk sat near the warrior's den, silently making conversation with himself. I should do something productive. Actually, hold that thought. He put his paw over his ear and scratched off a small beetle. Ah, better. Now, I should do something productive, right, but I don't want to. Good enough reason, I'd say. He sighed, and slumped down. Good reason, right. He knew he should talk to someone or go hunting or patroling, but his tendon (ehhh if cats don't know about tendons whoopsies) in his hind leg kept snapping and was rather uncomfortable. Go to the medicene den! Whatever. The strong tangy aroma of herbs always made his nose hurt, and his leg wasn't actually preventing him from doing anything, it was just annoying. He groaned and sat straighter. Maybe one of the other warriors would do something with him, despite his snapping leg.

(Just noting that you mention people by clicking on the icon on the bar along the top here that looks like a satellite dish but is probably actually a megaphone and then inputting the username between the two bracketed chunks that appear =^^= )

Dawncry had been laying in a somewhat snowless patch of ground, motionless in the exception of her multi-coloured tail which swept the surrounding area lightly as she watched a few of her fellow clan mates through half-closed eyes, enjoying the peace of the current moment.
She had not been fully paying attention to who else was nearby where she lay beside the warrior's den, and it wasn't until a few moments later that she noticed the tom who sat near her.
"Hello Echodusk." She mused, dipping her head by way of greeting and sweeping her tail along the ground as she changed position to that of sitting to look him in the eyes.

(Haha, oops. Thanks for telling me lol)The sudden greeting almost startled him-almost. He quickly regained his internal lost composure and awkwardly replied with a cracked voice, "Hello, Dawncry. How's the... weather?" His grope for a topic immediately was repaid with a boring subject and one that would waste time, but he didn't want to change it so soon to seem indesicive. "I don't like snow, to be honest, but I like cold weather. Do you?" @Brooklyn Trees (did I do the mention correctly?)

(Yup =^^= you did the mention perfectly =^^= )

Dawncry used her paw to lightly brush a bit of the accumulated snow from her muzzle and head before returning it to the ground, green eyes turned towards the tom's face.
"I find cold weather quite pleasurable at the best of times." She mewed, voice turned lighter than one would generally find it to be in such casual of conversations as she was currently in a rather good mood and was therefor devoid of her general melancholy air; which -- despite her attempts to keep it hidden -- would often become visible to those around her without her acceptance or any welcome to the prospect of such an air being shown.

(Sorry, I've been reading Frankenstein so now I have started writing like this temporarily because my language style got switched around in order to comprehend the book XD )

(XD) Echodusk's black pelt was being barraged with the snow pellets eemingly set out on destroying his well-groomed pelt, but he strained to listen and pay attention as he began to lick his pelt clean once more. "I agree-well, mostly anyway. I think if my pelt was white," he added, licking his front paw down once more, "I'd like snow much more." Sighing, he gingerly put his paw onto the snow that seemed to grip onto every strand of fur there was. His voice changed to a note lower, and added, "You seem pretty happy. What happened?" (ahh my head hurts from staring at a screen without my glasses so prePARE FOR SPELLING ERRORSSSS but seriously though my head maybe I should've gone to bed two hours ago like I was supposed to) @Brooklyn Trees

(Sorry, my phone died and the charger is slow as a snail so I left it over night.)

Dawncry flicked an ear nonchalantly and gave the tom a half smile.
"Nothing really happened," she mewed, repositioning her paws and sliding downwards onto her belly, paws overlapped as she looked up at her fellow warrior. "Just a good day."
Her words were not entirely of truth, but neither therefor entirely of lies. It wasn't something that happened, but rather something that had not. Today she had not felt lonely or in want of a close friend or other companion, and she was rather pleased about this fact, being none to quick to go back to the same melancholy as yesterday.

She was very open about her opinion and didn't want to seem judge mental against other cats opinions either. She wasn't one to turn things down just because, but she tried to keep her mind open and allowing. She wanted to be able to consider the different possibilities and count them all into effect. "I can understand that." She mewed quietly as she nodded her head slowly.

Sunbreeze felt comfortable with this cat, in a way she hadn't experienced since her time with Littlefang. The Molly couldn't remember her ever telling the black tom before her about her time with the brown tabby of Shadowclan. But maybe that was something she needed to talk about. Or should she ask about him first? She made a quick decision and asked; "Colby, if you don't mind my asking, what did you do before you joined the clans? I mean obviously you didn't always live here, no offense to your name, but still. " she added hesitatingly, the last thing she needed was to scare him off with personal questions. "I'm sorry, that was me being curious. You don't have to answer it you don't want to, I was just being curious and nosy." She meowed hastily, blood rushing to her ears and cheeks, making her feel warm and embarrassed.

The taller cat's face began to turn red, and his pelt felt warm as the molly brushed up again his flank. He suddenly felt uncomfortable having her so near him, almost like his stomach was tightening... and he felt like he had butterflies in his belly. The feeling was strange and newer to him. Sure he had liked Spottedsong, and even had a small crush on Featherwing, but he knew that Sunbreeze was different from them. And he felt so much... more towards her than he had with his past crushes. He hadn't felt so nervous around Fetaherwing or even Spottedsong, thought he had blushed around the latter, it was very different from what he was feeling towards his current company.

But he doubted that it was a romantic thing for the molly, but rather something more out of friendship. The tom wasn't sure if they were anything more than just really good friends, and he wasn't sure if he was happy with that ot not. Of course he loved being Sunbreeze's friend, she was the closest person to him that he knew and he cared for her deeply. But he wasn't sure if he wanted to settle for just friends. Colby wasn't sure if he wanted to be more than just friends. They were close, yes, but were they close enough? He wasn't sure how he should ask Sunbreeze if she wished to be closer, if she ever saw the possibly of them becoming more than friends, more than close friends.

But it wasn't like him to think so romantic thoughts. And he had surprised his himself by doing so.

He looked down as she softly said that she understood. He relaxed a bit when he realized that she seemed comfortable with him. He was sure that he looked awkward, his stance had stiffened when she brushed against him and his ears had reddened as well. He was a bit awkward when it came to these kinds of things. He was use to running around his whole life, Riverclan was really the first place that he had settled down. He also rarely formed crushed before meeting Spottedsong, so he wasn't use to the feeling of caring someone like he cared for Sunbreeze. He closed his eyes, and gave a soft smile ash he felt her heat through his short fur. But his sapphire orbs shot open once she asked him about his past, questioning what he had done before joining the clans.

Colby's orbs flicked towards the molly, but he then looked forward, not making eye contact with her. "Well... I did a lot of things," he began awkwardly. "I traveled a lot, going from one place to another, not staying in one single place for long - but then I fond Riverclan. Spottedsong brought me to the clan, and I was accepted in. I've been here for some moons, which is different for me, but so is the clan life. It's fun living with a clan, and also nice since it's actually pretty secure," he added, and gave a small chuckle. Colby use to get into trouble a lot with loners and rogues when he was a loner himself, so it was nice that they didn't threaten him any more since his joining the clans. "But what about you?" His gaze turned towards her. He didn't realize that he actually hadn't told her much, but had been rather vague. He didn't think about his past much, so he hadn't been thinking what to really tell her.
