You coming?" yowled Fallenleaf, a bit in a hurry. All of a sudden the Riverclan warrior brushed his paws through the grass, feeling the ground for the first time in age's. He began to run in circles, starting to feel as if he was a kit once again.

I forgot what it was like to be out of camp! I never want to go back! Never!
Never in a million moons!

Fallenleaf stopped, sitting down with his paws itching to go farther than he was now. "Hurry up! There's lots to explore!" hollarred the tom in pure excitement.

Willowheart laughed. "I can tell you're pretty excited to be out again!" Seeing how eager he looked to explore the territory, she waved her tail. "Lets go!" She mewed happily.

Fallenleaf let out a small chuckle. "Of course! How could you guess?" meowed Fallenleaf teasingly. The tom looked at Willowheart and followed her. "So where we going to hunt at?" He wondered with his flickering from side to side and up and down as the excitement still lingered inside him.

"The river." Willowheart mewed before stopping and looking at Fallenleaf with a challenging look in her eyes. "I've warmed up now. Race you to the river!" She flicked her bushy tail in excitement before leaping over the ground to boost her off and racing to the river, navigating her way through the territory as fast as she could. When the river came in sight, she skidded to a stop but fell into the river. "Pshh!" She spat water out of her mouth before wading to the shore and climbing up. Her fur stuck to her sides and she shook, water droplets going everywhere. At least I won? She thought.

"Never." She promised him sincerely. Wavesplasg affectionately rubbed her head under his chin, purring. "As long as you promise to never do the same." She meowed. The she cat wanted to give Mistyeyes everything he deserved. A faithful mate, a warm nest, and maybe, if he was up to it
...a family.

"Why would I?" Mistyeyes asked, he couldn't really rely on looks due to his blindness, it was more due to her personality and all that stuff, he wanted to make her, even with his disability, to make her the happiest she-cat in the whole forest, after all she had done to him, he would give her everything she wanted.

Wavesplash just smiled at him. "I love you a lot..." She gazed lovestruck at the handsome tom. Leaning over, she started to groom his head, purring softly. Though this wasn't the first time they had shared tongues, it certainly would never be the last.

As he felt her tongue run across his head, he just his misty eyes and simply enjoyed it and licked her chest lovingly. "I do as well, Wavesplash, I love you a lot..." He whispered and placed one of his paws atop of hers.

((Open RP: anyone wanna go hunting?))

A burly grey-and-white lump lay curled up on the surface of a low, flat rock. He twitched his nose as sunlight slowly washed over his face, causing it to purse in irritation. Frostfoot clamped his front paws over his head and rolled over. Most of his afternoon had been spent snoozing in the sun’s warmth, and he was loathe to break his time of relaxation. But the warmth soon left him as light trailed over his face and off of his body. He opened an eye and watched the evening sun sink behind a tree, irritated by the mediocre coolness of the late day air.

Rising to his paws, Frostfoot gave a big stretch before hopping off of his resting spot and shaking the grogginess out of his limbs. He supposed he’d rewarded himself enough for catching those couple of graylings for the queens this morning. Time to go scrounge up something new. With a couple quick licks to a ruffled patch of bed-fur, he strolled over near the forested area of Riverclan’s territory with a taste for something warm-blooded this time around.

A mix of emotions--and, she only just met the tom. Did he ever stop flirting? Giving her compliments off the bat? It was an old trick. Something Angelcloud continuously stayed away from. Even Tawnyshade hardly flirted with her nowadays. And, now look at them! They became best friends. Nothing out of the ordinary when it came to her. She saw every tom as a brother--or, a play toy. No tom could keep up to her. Eventually, they figured she was too much of a wild feline to tame. That, or they would be annoyed with her uncooperative state to work with them. See, with Angelcloud, she knew all the twists. All the turns. All the knots. Every obstacle. While this was going on in her mind, she played along with the current tom. Nothing wrong with that. She kept a smile on her face, she continued to play with him. And, couldn't she just ignore his flirting advances? Yeah, probably. Or, she could laugh at him. But that would only hurt him...maybe. She wasn't that insensitive.

''Why thank you,'' She suppressed a giggle. That was kinda hard though. She enjoyed laughing at flirting techniques. Everyone's was different, and so far his was the best! ''But I can't imagine how many times I've heard that in my life...or, how many other she cats you seem to flatter.'' She kept her voice peppy at she talked to him. No laced sarcasm or aggression. For Angelcloud, she didn't get sarcasm. At all. It would go over her head, and she definitely couldn't find herself being sarcastic. So, what she said was somewhat true. She figured a tom like Cardinalflash wouldn't hold himself down. How many she cats were there? Hanging on to every sweet word he said? How many had/is calling him C-Flash? Or, did she just receive the special treatment? Even if that were the case, though she doubted it highly, she couldn't see this. Everything was practically a fun-loving game to her. This forest was her arena. Angelcloud just didn't get why she was his target. But everything he said, she figured it was some type of game. So, she played along. She met toms like him before. And, though she had been foolish once, she had observed, and she had learned. Toms like Cardinalflash? They were trouble. Then again, didn't Angelcloud like trouble?

Oh, yes! Angelcloud loved to be risky. Jumping from tree to tree, testing herself to see how far down she could go in the water, holding her breath in a competition, battle training with other warriors--anything and more. Angelcloud was a cat that never turned down a challenge. No matter how dangerous or stupid it was. It was pretty certain that if she were going down, she would bring a whole chain of cats with her. Angelcloud was pretty immature whenever it came to her losing. And, her attention was pretty hard to obtain. At the moment, she had been caught up with Cardinalflash. She was dearly enjoying his company. How long would that last, though?

As she continued to swim around in the water, circling around the tom, her ears flicked at his words. She stopped for a second, giving him a peculiar look. Her head tilted slightly to the side. A frown crossed her face at first, before it lit up in a smirk. Every relationship falls apart eventually... all I have to do is wait, right? It made her think for a second. Was it true? Every relationship falls apart. Angelcloud didn't know how to feel about this, and for a moment she was about to be mad--or, seriously annoyed with the company she felt she was enjoying. Nice way to ruin the moment...saying something like that. For Angelcloud, even though she hardly took things serious--one day, she would grow up. Want something real, and allow it to blossom. Thinking that it would fall apart because every relationship fell apart made her sad for some odd reason. Angelcloud put on a thoughtful expression before it dissolved into one of playfulness once more. She wanted to splash him again, but he looked soaked enough. The sight was pretty funny to her. ''Why would I give you a chance if every relationship fell apart? Is that the only reason you're talking to me?'' Now, her voice was dripping with innocence. She was truly curious if the tom was being serious, or if he just something off the whim, instead thinking it through. ''I think relationships should take time and blossom--not fall apart. I think Nature and I are happy together.'' She says, her eyes looking around at their surroundings. Nature was very pretty, and the only thing that seemed to understand her more than other cats. When she brought her teal orbs back to her semi-friend, as she couldn't pinpoint of what she thought of him, she gave him a bright smile, giggling. ''I'm certain a she cat will find you quite as adorable as I do, C-flash! One day you'll find someone serious.'' She kicked her hind legs up, closing her eyes for a moment as she started swimming around again.

Yes, the tom would find someone serious. And, as she would. Though her last statement, she was pretty clueless on what he meant. Why should I think carefully? Angelcloud felt that she didn't have to think at all when it came to him. Everything would be normal to her, sometimes she wouldn't notice a thing, so she simply shrugged at the thought. Upon his next words, the she cat opened her eyes, and she cast him another quick glance. This time she laughed--pretty hard. How many times have I heard that one? ''Hmmm...I'm pretty sure I'm from Riverclan.'' She blinked her eyes, appearing innocent, but she knew all too well what he was up to. ''Unless my mother was from a different clan, but then again, I don't think she was, but more my sister knows more about our past than I do.'' She giggled. Speaking of her sister...

Where was she? The golden striped cat turned her eyes to the shore, making out the form of two cats. From afar, she could see her sister talking to another cat. This made her confused. Heavencloud hardly allowed herself to socialize with other cats. Sometimes she came off as passive aggressive. Other times she was socially awkward. Angelcloud debated if she should run out the water to tend to her sister, but Heavencloud seemed to be doing fine. Though, her attention was taken back by the flirty tom beside her. He doesn't know when to stop, does he? She wasn't mad. At all. Nor, was she annoyed. In fact, quite the contrary. She was amused. She was entertained. And, she loved it. She completely turned back to him, providing him her undivided attention. Yet, she still didn't understand him. Take it as I see it? She tilted her head for a second, processing everything he said. ''But what if it changes as I get it?'' Her thought chain was cut off short however, as she saw the tom jump at her. As the water splashed her, Angelcloud let out a screech. A playful one that if one actually heard her, they might think she was calling out for her. She aimed to splash him back, and hopping that her hind legs wouldn't betray her as wished to swim away from him. He was very complicated to her. Yet, she loved his playfulness, and that was something she knew she would never get tired of. Looks like I made a new best friend!

So far...so good. Heavencloud had thought she lost her chance. She thought he would get up and walk away from her. Or, that he was sitting next to her only to get intel on her sister. It wasn't a first time that it happened, which brought out her annoyed state. Heavencloud was a pretty easy cat to annoy. She was easy to become passive aggressive--she didn't have a problem with having a conversation then. Only when she was really mad. As she listened to him talk, she offered a small smile. It was no use being aggressive. She could be kind. Yet, she had started the conversation first. So, score! And, he had responded. Double score! When he finished talking, Heavencloud quickly glanced in the river where two felines were playing. She tilted her head. It made her slightly uncomfortable at watching them playing in the water. She could easily detect the brother he was talking about. A reddish-orange tom, much thicker fur than the two of them. The she cat flicked her tail. ''The river is great,'' She said, her voice a little distant as she stared into the rippling water. Then, she looked away, emitting out a small sigh. ''Your brother does look like a handful. My sister is...something else.'' Her ears suddenly laid flat against her head, and she wrapped her tail tighter around herself, looking back at the two frolicking cats. ''She is pretty, isn't she? Quite the little sweetheart, if given the chance. Um, her name is Angelcloud.'' She replied, though she didn't know how to presently feel. Her sister had always been the little sweetheart, certainly the angel out the both of them. ''What tom wouldn't be drawn to her? She's really a fun feline. Aside from pretty looks and all. I'm surprised he was brave enough to get to know her himself--suppose you want to know more about her?'' The small she cat quickly glanced at the slate colored tom before turning away.

Maybe that was the reason. It had always been the reason. Heavencloud wished that more toms were like this Cardinalflash who went up to Angelcloud without coming to her sister's keeper first. The thought pretty much annoyed her, but right now she felt serene. She wanted to remain serene until Angelcloud was ready to leave and ready to travel back to the clearing. That way, Heavencloud would leave the company of her sister and sleep somewhere else nearby. That sounded...heavenly right now.

The first thing she noted was how quiet his voice was. He sounded soothing...kind of. She liked a soft, low voice. It was a lot better than boisterous voices that made her ears jump in distaste. The she quietly scooted herself next to him. Only a tiny bit. She didn't know he felt about personal space. And, she only did this to hear him more clearly. Heavencloud was too lazy to strain her ears to hear every word he said. So, she laid down next to him, curling herself into a tight ball, her tail wrapped around her, and her paws tucked in underneath her. He wants to know my name? Why he wants to know my name? I'm not an interesting cat to know my name! But...he did introduce himself...and his brother...and he does know Angelcloud's name now. What else does he need to know about her? Maybe I should wait before I give him any info on her...after all, I have to see if he would be a potential interest for her--Wait, why do I care about that? Shouldn't I give him what he wants to know about her, so he can get up and steal her attention away from, umm...what's his name? C-flash...? Okay, I'm too much in my thoughts, and he's waiting for me to answer.

''Um...I-I...um... I'm Heavencloud,'' she stopped for a moment, exhaling a breath. That was extremely weird to be introducing herself. He asked for her name! Though she appeared confused, she allowed the expression to wipe away. ''Probably just making a fool of himself to impress the little Angel. Little does he know, it's probably not working.'' She shrugged, then gave a light giggle. Heavencloud knew her sister more than she knew herself sometimes, and judging by the way Angelcloud was acting, Heavencloud pretty sure knew that Angelcloud was mainly using the poor tom as a play mate. May Starclan be with him...

''Haha, those are some cute nicknames.'' Heavencloud admitted. Cardinal...C-flash. They carried a ring to them, made him seem like he was one of the most handsomest toms in the clan. Then, her ears flicked. ''No cute nicknames for you?'' She asked, then shook her head. ''Angelcloud was pretty much given a nickname every time a new tom met her,'' Heavencloud rolled her eyes. ''I'm pretty much known as Heavens or Heavenly, sometimes even...Hea.'' Though that was the name she disliked the most for some odd reason. It sounded too weird for her taste. ''Oh! I'm sure you'll get a cute nickname. Have you always wanted one? They're not really special.'' She looked down, nipping at her tail for a quick second before she looked back at the pretty blueness of the river. As she gave her chest fur a couple licks, the she cat turned to look at...Jaywhisper. ''Unless someone special gives it to you. Then, you would feel like you're one in a million.'' Haven't everyone wanted to be different? Stray away from what was ordinary? To be original? That was what Heavencloud wanted, but then she recoiled at the idea and allowed life to slip her by. And, that...is what I suppose makes it special.

Hmm. Looks like I need to step up my game. Cardinalflash thought as he heard her speak. He wasn't getting anywhere so far, and it was beginning to frustrate him. Why wouldn't she just, well... give into the fact that he was obviously the one for her? Whatever reason it might be, he didn't like it. The tip of the tom's tail began to twitch in an irritated manner, and his hues narrowed angrily as he tried to think of what he could say next. His patience was obviously being tested. Although this facial expression was underhanded, no one could tell that he was actually angry - from the sparks showing in his hues, it appeared that he was excited about something and his tail twitching underwater was near-impossible to see. All in all, unless you could pick up on his mental state just by watching the tensity that seemed to come over him, it would be practically impossible to tell this tom's mood.
　
And that was the way Cardinalflash liked it. He was always happy. He was constantly excited and pleased with the world. That was the part of him that he chose to show, no matter what. And that part of him seemed to be his favorite. "What? Absolutely not!" Cardinalflash gave a somewhat exaggerated gasp of surprise at her suggestion for his reasons for talking to her. That wasn't true!... was it? The handsome tom didn't want to believe it was, anyways. And he wouldn't believe that it was. He didn't like the thought of being known as 'that cat.' Although Cardinalflash was the type of tom to base his self worth off of what others said... as long as it was good. Bad feedback? No problem, he just played good comments about himself back in his head for as long as he needed. It was a skill that was useful to have when things got tense or uncomfortable. And he was good at it.
　
But then again, not everyone had the confidence of Cardinalflash. "Hah, well, Nature can't show you a good time like I can. Aren't we having fun, pretty Angel? Don't you want to hang with me more?" The reddish feline asked, cocking his head slightly to the side and then spluttering as he realized he was still in the water - and it got in his mouth, nose and ear. Shaking his head - in a way a dog might, not to be refusing her something, Cardinalflash managed to get rid of the water in his ear and struggled to do the same with the liquid in his nose and mouth. It was gross and he disliked it very much. The tom shuddered at the thought of the water being in such areas. Sure, he liked to swim - most, if not all RiverClan cats did! What was wrong with the water, anyways? There was nothing wrong with liking to have a good time and getting wet in the process. And yet the other Clans made fun of them for it.
　
Well, except for SkyClan, but as far as the tom knew? They weren't aware of the stereotypes the Clans had been given. Truth be told, it was pretty accurate. Except for RiverClan's 'slow, dumb' stereotype he had heard before. Some were more agile and intelligent... just... not Cardinalflash. Not that he would ever admit that out loud. You would have to catch him at a weak moment in order to hear anything bad about himself escape this feline's maw. "Aww, now you've gone and hurt my feelings, Angelcloud. Don't you think a handsome devil like me and a pretty angel like you should take a chance here? C'mon, take a chance on me, darling." His voice was smooth and sweet. Those words normally won over a she cat - take a chance on me. It was something that he said to everyone. But, every time, it sounded as though he were saying it for the first time.
　
It made him sound a little... dangerous. And, didn't she cats love an unsolved mystery? Cardinalflash loved open, happy, friendly cats like Angelcloud herself. Those were the kind he normally headed towards. Although the shy ones were the easiest to reel in, because once they were hooked... they were hooked for real. "Oh, that's not what I-" His voice was cut off as he realized a tone of frustration was beginning to enter it. Stopping, he watched as she swam away after her playful screech - and he headed after her. His paws carried him swiftly through the water. Cardinalflash always had been a strong swimmer, and now was no exception to that. He moved quickly, and with obvious confidence... but then again, for a cat like him? Confidence was quite literally everything. For him, confidence was the most important thing... and the most attractive, too.
　

"Yeah. A handful would be one way to describe him."

Jaywhisper's voice was calm, quiet, although it held a touch of sarcasm in it as he spoke. The unspoken snort of amusement was almost audible, although he hadn't actually made any effort to utter the sound aloud. He watched the pretty cat swimming in the water, his brother quite obviously chasing after her. Oh, Cardinal... don't make a fool of yourself, please... he thought. But then again, the reddish tom had never been much of one to care what others thought. If he did, he would never flirt again. She cats seemed to be interested in him, though. Maybe it was the personality. The handsome looks. His key pick-up line, one that Jaywhisper found to be quite dumb, but she cats thought he was just adorable when he said it... and his fun loving attitude. Or his party-all-the-time state of mind, that was nice too.
　
Whatever it was, Jaywhisper was not attractive to she cats and his brother was. Although he had never been one to take much of a chance on romance anyways. For him, all the romantic endeavours he could take was watching those of his brother. Sometimes failing, sometimes suceeding, never keeping for very long. And Jaywhisper felt bad for those cats. But he never said anything to them. They were far too good for him, or at least they acted as though they were. Because he was on the smaller side, the slate feline felt as though he needed to make up for his appearance somehow. But speech wouldn't do. He wasn't a speaker. His protective nature might, but that wouldn't kick in until you got to know him... and so she cats normally just passed him by. Which was okay as far as he was concerned, if they were going to do that, then they weren't worth his time.
　
Nor emotions. "Angelcloud, huh?" Glancing towards the feline in the water, Jaywhisper shook his head slightly. "No - no, I'll pass on that, thanks. She seems a little too energetic for me. Too excitable. Not my type." Jaywhisper shrugged, as though it were the most normal thing in the world for him to turn someone down. And, he wasn't really 'turning her down' - she hadn't even mentioned him in the first place. Angelcloud. He did have to admit, she was pretty. "As far as looks go, your sister really got the good end of the genetic pool." It was a way of complimenting the other feline... without really complimenting her. His way of saying that she was pretty. Though, this cat, in her own way, seemed to be rather pretty as well - Jaywhisper was fairly good at picking out a 'pretty' cat. And then Cardinalflash would steal them away. No wonder he was with Angelcloud right now.
　
She was a pretty cat, he was a handsome tom... end of story. And the slate feline already knew this wasn't going to end well. It never would. "Heavencloud? So, it's Heavencloud and Angelcloud. Your parents had some interesting name ideas." He wasn't insulting the two on their names, but he did find it strange. Those didn't sound like 'normal Clan names,' if he were being honest. They sounded more like something a kittypet or loner would name their kits. Though, Jaywhisper did find them interesting at the same time. Unique. A lot like the cats themselves. Her next words brought a smile onto the tom's maw, although in his mind, he felt bad for his brother. Poor Cardinalflash, trying his best to impress the 'Angel...' and if it didn't work, he would be heartbroken for a while. Until the next pretty feline walked by, caught his eye, and he moved on.
　
That's how Jaywhisper had always thought it worked, anyways. "Huh, so your sister gets the nicknames... but hey, at least you get a few. I don't even have one." Jaywhisper gave a short laugh, devoid of humor. There wasn't anything funny about not having a nickname. Or at least, being the only tom without one. He was pretty sure he was the only cat in the world not to have a nickname... although that wasn't true. Still, Jaywhisper couldn't help but wonder if he would ever get one. They're not really special. Well, he differed in opinion with that. Nicknames were special. Especially if... someone special gives it to you. Well, now she had just finished his thought. Such a strange occurance, Jaywhisper almost wondered if she were reading his mind. "Well, I'd say nicknames are special. But they're extra special if someone special gives it to you. You're right, I suppose. Guess you would feel like you're one in a million."

　

I wonder what that would feel like.

Nor emotions. "Angelcloud, huh?" Glancing towards the feline in the water, Jaywhisper shook his head slightly. "No - no, I'll pass on that, thanks. She seems a little too energetic for me. Too excitable. Not my type." Jaywhisper shrugged, as though it were the most normal thing in the world for him to turn someone down. And, he wasn't really 'turning her down' - she hadn't even mentioned him in the first place. Angelcloud. He did have to admit, she was pretty. "As far as looks go, your sister really got the good end of the genetic pool." It was a way of complimenting the other feline... without really complimenting her. His way of saying that she was pretty. Though, this cat, in her own way, seemed to be rather pretty as well - Jaywhisper was fairly good at picking out a 'pretty' cat. And then Cardinalflash would steal them away. No wonder he was with Angelcloud right now.
　
She was a pretty cat, he was a handsome tom... end of story. And the slate feline already knew this wasn't going to end well. It never would. "Heavencloud? So, it's Heavencloud and Angelcloud. Your parents had some interesting name ideas." He wasn't insulting the two on their names, but he did find it strange. Those didn't sound like 'normal Clan names,' if he were being honest. They sounded more like something a kittypet or loner would name their kits. Though, Jaywhisper did find them interesting at the same time. Unique. A lot like the cats themselves. Her next words brought a smile onto the tom's maw, although in his mind, he felt bad for his brother. Poor Cardinalflash, trying his best to impress the 'Angel...' and if it didn't work, he would be heartbroken for a while. Until the next pretty feline walked by, caught his eye, and he moved on.
　
That's how Jaywhisper had always thought it worked, anyways. "Huh, so your sister gets the nicknames... but hey, at least you get a few. I don't even have one." Jaywhisper gave a short laugh, devoid of humor. There wasn't anything funny about not having a nickname. Or at least, being the only tom without one. He was pretty sure he was the only cat in the world not to have a nickname... although that wasn't true. Still, Jaywhisper couldn't help but wonder if he would ever get one. They're not really special. Well, he differed in opinion with that. Nicknames were special. Especially if... someone special gives it to you. Well, now she had just finished his thought. Such a strange occurance, Jaywhisper almost wondered if she were reading his mind. "Well, I'd say nicknames are special. But they're extra special if someone special gives it to you. You're right, I suppose. Guess you would feel like you're one in a million."

　

I wonder what that would feel like.

As far as looks go, your sister really got the good end of the genetic pool.

Heavencloud blinked her eyes a couple times. First looking at her new company before staring again at the water where the two felines were playing. She registered what he said, and she wasn't mad. Oh no, she wasn't mad. Nor, did she feel too happy about it. Just surprised--very surprised. Yes, that's what she was. Then, she was between whether she should feel insecure or offended. Was it okay to be both? Probably not. Though as she sat down, her tail thumped in an obnoxious manner, trying to contain in her emotions. But, being Heavencloud, she tried to remain nice and steady. Mellow and sweet. Yet, there was that sour, prickly side in her that was waiting to burst out. “Oh!” She finally said, letting out somewhat of a forced laugh. What was that? Suppose to be a compliment or something? The nerve of him! “Isn't that the truth? Trust me...I've been hearing that since our apprenticehood.” Yesh! He sure do know how to flatter the ladies... No, that wasn't true. She actually...never heard of anyone outright saying it. The source was always felt, but it was never brought up. So, hearing Jaywhisper say it...in such a way made Heavencloud feel slightly disheveled. She honestly didn't know how to feel about it, so she brushed it off as hard as she could. She rather feel it than hear anyone say it. “Right. Not your type--that's a first.” Her voice was distant, her mind on other things, and for a moment she didn't believe him. And, she still didn't believe him.

Besides that, she wasn't comparing the brothers in any way. Truth be told, she didn't really care for the brothers’ presence. She simply wanted to get away from the river and seek her own actions, but here she was...watching her sister receive all the attention and the fun. Yet, Heavencloud could live with that. Being the shadow. Being overlooked. Being the one who didn't have the good end of the genetic pool. Upon hearing the tom repeat their names, Heavencloud’s mind ventured to nearby shrubs as she was lost in thought. Though she could hear him well--every word he said as her ears stayed swiveled towards him. She just didn't feel like looking at anyone. “Um- yeah! Our parents were creative, you could say.” And, truth be told their parents weren't even Riverclan cats. Born to two street cats, Angel and Heaven were brought to the borders of Riverclan, and raised by a good queen there. Albeit, only Heavencloud knew of this secret, and she had always told Angelcloud that they were born and raised Riverclan. The spotted she cat felt that she was doing the right thing of protecting Angelcloud from the truth. The adventurous stripped cat would had wanted to search for their real parents--and, Heavencloud couldn't have that. She hardly could keep up with Angelcloud’s whereabouts nowadays.

Heavencloud allowed a small smile to grace her face as she turned to look at him quickly before laying her head on her paws, her eyes laid steady on him. “Yep. Any tom could give her whatever nickname they want, but she'll always be my Angie--and that nickname is off limits.” Her voice sounded calm like, but her hues sparkled with devious intentions. It sounded playful, but she was serious when it came to things that only involved herself. “Eh, I guess.” Heavencloud said, her tail swishing lowly behind her. She still didn't get the entire nickname thing or why he felt… Left out because he didn't have one. Heavencloud was mainly called her nicknames given to her by her sister and one of her good friends--Mixedfur. As she stared on, blinking every now and then, she asked him. “What about your brother? I'm pretty sure he could give you a nickname.”

Heavencloud didn't see the big thing about having another name of some sort. Especially if it were a shortened version of your entire name. Then, she turned to look at the reddish colored tom, and gave a small genuine laughter as she saw him swimming after her sister. Now, if they were playing on land, Heavencloud could see herself joining in on that fun especially if she were getting to know the felines. As far as personality went, Heavencloud considered herself to be on the really good end of that genetic pool. She was like a miniature version of Angelcloud--vivacious, playful, a mixture of sweet and sour. When you truly got to know this feline, she was pretty unpredictable, and as far as looks go? Perhaps that wouldn't even matter. What she lacked in physical attributes, she made up in a spunky personality.

“Just wait until someone special comes along. I'm sure they'll give you all the nicknames you desire.” Heavencloud says, her voice holding a bit of teasing in it. Heavencloud was pretty content with her life. Even if her sister got the more attention than she did, she was glad just to call Angelcloud her sister. She was happy with the little friends she had. And, she was especially proud of the little kits that one of her best friends had. She was content waking up everyday, being one of the most impressive hunters in the clan, and a very fast runner. So whether she had a nickname or not? Probably would had went over her head, but not the tom apparently.

Angelcloud found swimming to be rather relaxing, and as she tried to swim as fast to get away from the seemingly pushy tom, the she cat maintained a melodious giggle. She quickly glanced at him as she saw that he caught up rather quickly. Swimming for him didn't seem bad at al. He was actually pretty good at it--why had this surprised her? Angelcloud knew Riverclan cats were exceedingly well swimmers. As far as she knew, she was a born Riverclan cat, but she wasn't that well of a swimmer.

Cardinalflash was obviously trying to push her in a direction she refused to go. Angelcloud considered herself to be committed to nature. The only thing that she would ever find herself committed to. Toms like Cardinalflash made her laugh--and pushed her away. She didn't like strong flirty toms that seemed confident that he could land any she cat he wanted. It made her twitch her ears at him, and she had laughed at him. Laughed pretty hard once he had finished that comment. Perhaps that was Starclan's way telling him to leave her be. But, she found it adorable that it happened to him, yet she felt that if she told him that, then he would had taken that the wrong way. Angelcloud wanted things to happen slowly. Like...very very slowly for her.

“Nature have been showing me an excellent time.” She giggled, more so at the embarrassment he experienced than anything else. “Oh, you're giving me a humorous time, C-Flash! I'll definitely call you up when I need another laugh.” Her eyes shone with mischief as they blinked at him, narrowing slightly. He was persistent, that was what she picked up. No matter how many times she tried to brush him off, he wasn't budging. What did he see in her anyway? Another pretty feline that looked like an easy target? Now, with just the right moves, Angelcloud could find herself hooked on. She had little crushes before that never really lasted for long because her attention was pretty short. She wondered how long he would have it before she found the next interesting thing. Though Angelcloud was pretty easy to fall when the right moves were made, which only her sister analyzed and figured out perfectly but never gave the answers to any tom. It was all simply a game that Heavencloud liked to play. Seeing Angelcloud turn them all down because they were irritating her. Like the tom beside her was doing now.

On the other hand, Angelcloud could see herself hanging out with the tom in the near future. She figured she could handle him to the point of which he would probably move on to the next pretty thing he sees. That wouldn't surprise her. In fact, it would relieve her. Angelcloud always felt bad if she left a ton waiting for her. Holding onto tomorrow thinking she would change her mind about commitment status. Then, it would never come and the tom would be angry at her.

The she cat averted her gaze, looking towards the shore at her sister. Then, her eyes went towards the other tom, lighting up in surprise as she saw him. Who is that!? She already seemed interested in him. But not in that way. More so, seeing that he seemed to be talking to her sister. It was certainly a first when Heavencloud was near a ton. A seldom moment especially if she didn't know them. Upon hearing Cardinalflash’s words, Angelcloud was already swimming towards the shore towards the other felines. “Pretty sure Devils and Angels are opposites of each other and shouldn't be together.” She threw back at him, as she reached the shore. A paw at a time padding onto the dry land. The water made her sleek fur heavy, but she managed shake a bit of droplets off. The she cat proceeded to let out a long stretch, mainly bending her body down to relax the stiff muscles in her back. “And, pretty sure the only chance I'm taking with you is friendship.” She stared at him through the corner of her eyes, standing up to her normal posture before trotting towards her spotted sister.

“Heavenly!” She circled the feline, hitting her with her damp tail, then focused her gaze on the slate colored tom, putting a bright smile on her face as she circled around him. “You're so adorable!” She cooed at him, lashing her tail. This was Angelcloud’s being friendly. She was such a friendly cat that sometimes it could be considered contagious. She adored when her sister found new...friends? Were they friends? This was something Angelcloud simply assumed. After all, she only just met Cardinalflash, and she already considered him to be a great friend of hers. She did enjoy his company more than her other companions. He was someone she could joke around with. Someone she could fool around with without catching any hurt feelings--at least, on her end. She couldn’t speak for the flirty reddish feline. But, right now her sole focus was on the slate tom and her spotted pelted sister. This was a moment that she couldn’t allow to pass by.
