"I know, Olivesun. I would like to be friends with Cherryskip, actually. She loves gossip so I'm sure talking with her would be quite nice," Ashenfeather chuckled and began grooming herself.

Pebblestep was a bit surprised at this information. She had never known. "Well," she sighed, "I don't know... I hate to feel like I'm pressuring you or Snakesnap for anything..." She mewed, the guilt creeping into her voice once more. "But, thanks," The she-cat stated sincerely, rubbing her head up against him, "For everything." The chat really had made her feel better.

(It's okay, I'm working on mine too xD)

Falconwing purred and nuzzled the beautiful she-cat. "You're welcome," he said softly. He refused to think that Pebblestep's kits were Snakesnap's as well. Something deep inside him told him that they were his. Maybe it was just wishful thinking? Oh well, he wouldn't know for certain until they were born at least. He feared to think about the fact that there was the possibility of sharing his kits with Snakesnap because nobody could tell who's kits they were. The long-legged tom shook his head free of the thoughts as he focused his attention on Pebblestep again. "So when are you moving into the Nursery? Maybe we can go for a hunt if you're not currently going," he offered.

"Well.. It doesn't seem so. Annoyingly" She mumbled to his first comment, giving herself a quick glance down her body. Formed perfectly, and with always perfect fur. Any other she-cat would be thrilled to have these looks, but Silverheart hated it.
"I'm.. Well, good, except for another unsuccessful attempt to ruffle my fur this morning" She said, with a cat-like grin. "How about yourself? You're quite drenched in water" She said with a light chuckle.

"Well besides the cold in the air and breeze I'm great," he chuckled light-heartedly. "It's easier to catch fish if you dive on in with them," he said with a shrug, shaking off his soaked fur. The tom had intentionally gotten closer to her to splash her with the cold droplets. "Try keeping in one spot while facing the direction the river is flowing. That'll make anycat's fur ruffled at least a little bit." The silver-and-black tom laughed at his suggestion, thinking to himself about how impossible that would be for hairless cats. "Well anyway, would you like to go hunting with me? Maybe you can get your fur rumpled with some mud or river water."

She tottered twards the dark grey tom and sat herself down with a huff "Now that I've got your attention...tell me a story, that's the main reason I came out here, now are you going to take my request?" she and sweetly, she cocked her head to the side and batt her eyelashes, she was interested in a story, but she was more interested in knowing that the toms strengths and weaknesses are, what he liked and disliked, that's just the way she was, curious, intellectual, she had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge about all of her clan,ares, she needed to know everything. she wrapped her tail around her paws and awaited for the warrior to start speaking.

"Alright, alright, settle down now will you? I just had a good fish to eat and I guess I could relax and tell you a story." Yawned Standingsea. He proceeded to do a long and drawn out stretch with a couple more of thrown in yawns from a full belly. But before he could finish such a pleasant stretch, he could feel the anxious stare of the kit boring into him. He could feel the energy of the kit was still radiating and that the kit would absorb every word he said. With a swish of his tail, slightly annoyed by the impatience of the kit, he sat down and said,"I'll tell you a story, but on one condition." Standingsea gazed up and down at the dirt caked coat of the kit and with a little bit of disdain in his voice, "Clean yourself up while you listen okay? You're a mess from all that rough housing before."

He could see the kit deflate at the request. It's obvious she just wanted to pour her full attention into him but he needed to divert that energy so that she wouldn't become restless later into the story. He also needed a bit of time to think of what story to even tell her. So to buy time he decided to tell her just about himself. He adjusted himself as his prepared to tell the waiting kit just about everything.

Pebblestep's uneasiness would most likely never subside until the kits were born, but Falconwing's kind tone sure took the edge off. "I won't be moving in until I absolutely have to," she stressed, "I really do enjoy my independence." She gulped. 'Talk about poor choice of words...' The she-cat thought, considering her love of freedom was what got them here in the first place. Falconwing's offer weakly disguised the faultily executed statement. "I would very much enjoy a nice hunting trip," she mewed in acceptance of the invitation.

I still have to come to terms that myself and even he was ignoring the other. I can just ignore that. Her smile faded slowly into a straight line and she tucked her paws closer to herself.her heart steadied itself and her eyes fixated on his face again. His mint coloured eyes drifted all over her face but not her eyes. Her whiskers twitched in slight amusement. I won't give anything away, we'll see if what I did meant nothing.

her ears angled towards him and she had to slightly tilt her head to see him over the bridge of her nose. He cowares below her like she was higher. Her tail twicthed with anticipation. If I'm going to just stand here and.. Wait.. Oh goodness I just can't stay mad at him. He doesn't even know what he's doing. the guilt knawed at her belly like a rat at carion. Ugly, hairy, and gross. "Oh, good" she meows softly. Swallowing down a painful lump in her throat. Her stomach knotted up and suddnely she felt she couldn't speak. Just as she was about to explode with anticipation he spoke again.

As he finished she didn't know how to respond to any of it. Her claws dug into the dirt below her and suddenly she Couldn't speak. He actually, remembered. She didn't realize how afraid of this talk she was, she never thought he would have actually ever spoke of this again. Her face heated up. She was the one thinking she was safe because he was to scared to ever talk about it. She was afraid of it. She lowered her face to meet his, ringing off her urge to run away like he did before. "Ju- just" she swallowed again shutting her eyes to regain confidence. "Just, talk to me" she meows looking him in the eyes.

She waited. Her fur moving like the wind on the open moors. She looked directly at him. And suddnely he spilled. Her chest heaved with sudden emotion and she wasn't sure if she wanted to cry with him or walk away from it. She didn't want to face the truth and she expected him to go on about how she was moving to fast or how he didn't want to see her again? Was that role reversal. Perhaps. Then she focused her eyes back on his who again drifted around her face never focusing on her eyes. "Wh- what did yo- you do?" she meows standing up and recoiling from him. She was unsure how to deal with it.

From here on out, he'd be cautious when breathing. He rocked back on his haunches, his limbs pulled closely as to appear small. The tip of the rat-tail curled over his forepaws flicked with the same embarrassment that was entirely visible within his mint green eyes. However, he did not look away from Daisyshade, forcing himself to look at her face. He did not look her in the eyes, no, that would be much too challenging. Instead, he focused on anything else such as her whiskers or even the same nose that pressed against his own not too long ago.

``I'm f-fine,`` He croaked, wincing at his obvious stutter. The stutter he adopted whenever he was anxious. Tumblestep found embarrassment in his stutter, although it was something he's always had. He struggled to adjust to it, finding it to be a significant flaw in the mess of his insecurities. It was also why he didn't talk as much as he is capable of, fearful of the jabs and teasing he may receive in return for speaking. ``I-uh, wanted t-to-`` Tumblestep paused, nervously drawing his pink tongue along his dark lips. He huffed anxiously, shuffling his paws against the ground. ``W-we need to-to talk ab-about the last-last time w-we spoke.``

He felt the urge to rise to his paws and dash off, but he fought against it. Not only would it be rude and weird, but surely abruptly leaving wouldn't improve his relationship with Daisyshade. Tumblestep's muscles tensed at his words, mentally frowning at his stutter and crying at his nerves.

His intentions were to reveal to Daisyshade how his cowardice guided him to avoid participating in the liberation battle. But Tumblestep hesitated to do so. What if she turned away from him? Demanded to never speak to him again? He didn't know what he'd do if she did such a thing. But doesn't she deserve to know that while I was hiding, she was nearly losing her life? I could've saved her from that nasty neck wound, Tumblestep realized in horror, his ears folding back slightly at the shocking realization. ``I-I'm sorry, Daisyshade,`` Tumblestep wailed, his widened eyes narrowing into depressed slits. His shoulders shook with his breathless cries, and his slim torso heaved with the heavy inhales. ``I-I am s-so-so s-sorry!``

"Hahaha...you're quite a she-cat." He padded away then return moments later with three fish In his mouth. "For us to share. Dig in!"

And you were and are the bestest friend I could ask for." he finished, pressing comforting licks to the other cats cheek to reassure him. He felt warm again, completed now that he was home. He smiled at the leaders words, and giving a loud, shy purr when he had nuzzled him. He looked towards to ground, seeing as he wasn't to used to compliments still. He smiled though, and looked back up, his eyes shining. "I just want the cats I love to be happy. I want you to be happy." he mewed. Which was true. His family was a no-go, Russet and a few friends being the only real family he has ever had. He wanted to see Russetstar unstressed again, how he was when he was as an apprentice, joyful and happy again. he wanted that for him. He wanted to make him happy.

"I..." Russetstar mumbled for a few seconds, about to start saying something negative again until he looked up to see the joy in his friend's eyes, the hope he had for him and this clan. He couldn't lose faith in himself and all these cats he trusted, could he? "I want you to be happy, too. I want everyone in this clan to be happy, but especially you." He smiled, tail flicking as he sat down, resting his head on his friend's shoulder as he purred with happiness. His eyes were blue as ice, like the afternoon sky- absolutely beautiful, like pools of shining water. He'd never met somebody else with eyes like this, though they did remind him of somebody else, who he didn't like to remember- he reminded him of so many good things, and it made Russetstar wonder why he'd ever taken Whisperblaze's friendship for granted. "You're my best friend, and I don't know how I ever survived here without you. ...Thank you, for being here with me, for comforting me... for everything, really."

He smiled at that. He felt warmed by the leaders words. Warmed that even when he had a whole clan to take care of,he was still on his mind. "That..that really means a lot coming from you,it really does." Like Russet,he didn't have that many cats left in his life either. He made him feel wanted when it seemed that nobody else did. Made him feel at home. He rested his head against the leaders and closed his eyes with a quiet purr,which indicated he was feeling rather happy and content at the moment. "You're my best friend too..it's the least I could do for you." he mewed truthfully. He didn't see himself as important as the other cat as he was leader, he had the stress of his own clan and responsibilities and personal life and he didn't know how he could manage all of it and still keep the sparkle in his amber eyes. He mentally promised that he would be by his side if anything happened to the leader. He would be as much support as he need,and give as much support as he could do as a warrior. "You really do mean a lot to me..I don't know what I would do without you either." his voice was soft,sincere.

Silverheart hissed playfully as Stormsoul shook off the water, noticing how he had stepped closer to her just enough for her to get hit by the water. "Hey!" She said, almost like a kit trying to build up a play. She batted him lightly with one paw, before grinning lightly at his other comment. The thought of mud on fur was something most cats would shiver at, but Silverheart liked the idea. Anything from keeping creepy toms from falling in love at first sight. She was sure her sister was dealing with the same problem at this very moment.
"Oh yes, I'm in.. Could do with stretching out my legs and catching something.. I feel like pouncing on some poor creature and breaking it's neck" She said, grinning lightly. It might have sounded cruel, but it was after all a cat's way of surviving. She didn't exactly like swimming, but she did not dislike it enough to not do it whenever she needed to. And indeed, a swim in the river sounded nice for her at the moment. Even though it might be freezing cold due to the snow, but well, even though her fur was semi-short ish, she was happy to be able to say that she wasn't exactly one of those cats who shivered by a wind blow.
"Let's go! I bet I can catch more than you!" She said challenging, before starting to rush towards the exit of the camp.
