Cedarpaw didn't know how to feel. He liked Fleetpaw, he really did, but Fleet liked Fallensky and she liked him back. Now Starlingpaw has a crush too and it looked like his crush liked him back. Why couldn't things work out for him? Why does everyone else seem to be in a happy relationship and he can barely manage to talk to his own brother every two days?

He was pacing around in a corner of camp, near the apprentice's den. He just needed those thoughts about how he wasn't good enough to have something like that. They needed to leave. Be gone.

As Cedar continued his pacing, he ran into another cat, knocking himself to the ground. Whoops. He really needed to be more careful.

“Be a voice, not an echo.”

It was difficult for Cardinalpaw to not to yell at this cat. It was their fault. So he wouldn't be entirely wrong to do so. However, Cardinalpaw was feeling nice today. The apprentice looked down at Cedarpaw, his tail flicking. They huffed, rolling their dual-colored eyes and sat. "You alright?" He asked, inspecting the other apprentice.

Oh crap. They didn't look happy. Why hadn't he been paying attention? If he had, maybe they wouldn't be mad at him and he could be better. Oh. Wait. They were asking if he was okay? Didn't he run into them? Shouldn't he be asking?

"I-I'm fine... Are... y-you alright?" he stuttered out, hoping this cat wouldn't hate him for running into them. Honestly, that would be a strange way to make an enemy.

“Be a voice, not an echo.”

Oh, how sad. Cardinalpaw wrapped his tail around his paws, heterochromatic eyes scanning the apprentice for injures or something because he did fall to the ground after all. They hummed, tail flicking as Cedarpaw stammered out words frantically. "I'm alright, doll, thanks." Cardinalpaw said cooly, their eyes flickering with amusement briefly.

Doll. Okay that was new. Cedarpaw could feel his face flushing almost instantly. He needed to act normal. He shouldn't scare the other off so soon. He chanced looking up at Cardinalpaw, his eyes quickly scanning the other's larger figure. His eyes rested on Cardinal's, feeling (kinda maybe) calm.

“Be a voice, not an echo.”

Cardinalpaw watched with amusement as the fellow apprentice fell silent, simply looking up at Cardinalpaw. They tilted their head with a grin, keeping his eyes on Cedarpaw's face. "So, you're Cedarpaw, yes? 'M Cardinalpaw." He said in his smooth accent after a moment of silence. "Sorry for eh..knocking ya to the ground." They chuckled, a hint of awkwardness creeping it's way into their tone before shoving it away.

He was right, the other was Cardinalpaw. Cedarpaw mentally congratulated himself. Cardinalpaw was apologizing? Didn't Cedar run into the other? He hoped his expression wasn't too confused.

"I-I ran into you, it's okay," he said, his voice less shaky than before. Progress! "T-Thanks for a-aplogizing though. You d-didn't have too."

Ooh.. Cardinalpaw smiled at Cedarpaw, flicking his nicked ear. "I'm used to running into cats, dear, it's just, eh, became a habit to apologize. " Cardinalpaw purred, tail whisking. They gave Cedarpaw a curious look as he stammered out words. "And, I don't mind apologizing, doll. You're fine, honestly." The feline assured, their bi-colored eyes gleaming playfully as they gave Cedarpaw a quick once over.

First doll and now dear? Cedarpaw's poor little gay heart could not take this much longer. Did Cardinal even realize what he was doing? He could practically feel the heat radiating off of his face. Maybe Cardinal wouldn't notice?

"Thanks..." he said again, a small smile appearing on his face.

Cardinalpaw returned the smile, though it was brighter and wider. They flicked their ears, trying to think of something to keep the conversation going. Training? Maybe, though Cardinalpaw didn't have much to say himself about the topic, besides a bad history of mentors. Well, he could just listen to Cedar speak instead. Cardinalpaw certainly wouldn't mind. "So..training? How's it going for you, Cedarpaw?" They asked, turning their gaze back to Cedarpaw from where it had wandered. "Having fun?" Cardinalpaw added, heterochromatic eyes meeting Cedar's.
