She enjoyed the warmth of the sun on her black fur, purring softly. She snorted at his remark. "I'm not in the market for a mate, you could say." Obsidian replied, semi-vague as she smirked. She knew what he was trying to do, but how devoted to it was he?

( It's fine! )

Horseradish nodded, his eyes glittering with understanding. “Right. And neither am I. I'm out for cats who can have my back. Cats I can trust not to kill me if I do something stupid. Y'know?” the dappled tomcat remarked, although not all of what he was saying was truthful. Fluffing out his thick glossy pelt as a shower of raindrops fell of the leaves overhead and landed on him. It wasn't raining, they were just leftover from last storm, still not dried up by the sun yet. The forest floor was still littered with puddles and the camp smell of wet moss.

"Yes. It's nice to have someone you know won't sink their claws into your throat." She replied, her tone cool like ice and showing the slightest hint of emotion. She chuckled as he was 'rained on', remembering the last storm being large. Obsidian's paws still occasionally got soaked by a puddle and the scent of wet moss was one she knew well.

Horseradish nodded, amusement showing in his bright yellow and green orbs. “Yes, especially when you know that there are a couple cats out there who would like to sink their claws into your throat.” he chuckled, glancing at the sky to make sure he wasn't about to get wet again. Hoping he wasn't, he looked back at the black molly. He studied her for a moment, then looked away, pretending to be rather nervous even though he wasn't at all nervous.

She snorted. "Especially SkyClan cats" she mewed, remembering the battle that happened with SkyClan semi-recently. She grinned as he made sure he wouldn't get wet again. She knew he wasn't nervous, but she flicked her tail. "What'cha nervous about Horseradish?"

Horseradish's head snapped around and he glared at her, anger in his eyes, then it quickly vanished. “I was making sure Phantom wasn't around, plotting my death again.” he replied icily, that being only a half lie. No, that was not what he'd been doing, but that was something that had happened. She'd driven his kits out of the Syndicate, and had first killed his favorite of the litter. And still that wasn't enough for her. If she ever fell for another cat, he would wait until they had kits and kill her mate and kits, just to teach her a lesson.

She nodded, unaffected by the anger in his eyes. Examining her claws, she turned to him with a saddened glow in her eyes. "Such a shame what happened, truly.." she sighed, putting her paw back down and wondering what he was plotting. "She was a bit... mad in the head to kill a kit." She added.

Horseradish glanced at her, then looked away. “No, he really wouldn't have. He almost died before she killed him, and probably never would've made it through training. He was small and weak and bled to much when he got hurt.” Horseradish admitted, and iciness coming through his voice. He flattened his ears and blinked, holding his emotions at bay. “I suppose it was for the best, really.” he said, half growling now.

"I suppose.." she sighed, staring at her paws. It'd gone from flirting to this, how? She didn't know. Unsure if she should break the silence, so allowing it to stay for a bit.

Horseradish shook himself and stood up, stretching a bit as his legs had started getting stiff. Then he flopped back down on his side, contented with the comfort of his position. The large gray and white patched tom shifted, as he'd suddenly become aware of how the silence was dragging on. That was something that the fighter would rather avoid, and he paused, thinking of a way to break the silence. “So, do you have any kin?” he asked, tilting his head. The topic felt forced, but he was just going to go with the flow.

She shook her head. "My parents gave me to the syndicate, but I know my moms name was Lily and she was a loner." She sighed, wishing she could meet her kin again. "My siblings are... no longer living."
