    @PumpkinTail


    Frail stared intensely at the cattails waving about in the soft wind. He'd thought twice about sloshing out in the swamp's filth to reach the swaying plants and bat them around. The last time he did such a thing he thought he'd drown. He was on the verge of falling into that trap a second time when a cracking of leaves drew his big ears away. Next his face followed and one should imagine how awed it was when he set eye upon the rippling warrior that was padding along there.



  • PumpkinTail padded up behind Frailpaw, carrying a rather large squirrel. He wasnt as rippling as Frailpaw may have seen it, but that didnt mean he certainly did have that ripply effect. "Hey there stunning, whatchu up to." he said as he dropped the squirrel at his paws, "Want some?" he knew that they werent supposed to eat prey before everyone else had eaten, let alone in the forest, but he didnt care in the slightest. What were they gonna do? 'Revoke his warrior status' Oh no!

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    That 'ripply effect' would stay embedded in his memory if he could hold onto it for so long. Stunning? Look who's talking. "I-uh-was-uh watchin'." Watchin'? Was that it? If he had known that was all he could spit out he would have kept his mouth closed. "S-sure." A thankful, sheepish grin was hinted at as he came to the other cat's side. His favorite, an ear, was delicately grabbed and torn off before he backed off a small pace. Oh, Starclan. Didn't cats get punished for this?


    After gulping down the cartilage he turned slowly from side to side to check that no one had seen.



  • "'Watchin'? And what would you just so happen to be watching?" he gave a sly grin as he tucked into the squirrel. He noticed the sudden nervousness of FrailPaw, deciding he wouldnt let the apprentice be punished for his actions. "Whats your name by the way?"

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    "Yo- that." Caught himself there yet he had had sealed his fate. What he had been about to say was already able to be deciphered and the thunderous beating of his heart would remind him. "Frail. No, Rail. No-no, Frailpaw." Trying to keep it cool, he glanced over his shoulder and gently murmured, "You?" As if that would wipe away all that had been led up to.



  • Pumpkin reveled in the nervousness of Frailpaw, this was where he excelled. "Well, rail, I'm PumpkinTail, nice to meetcha. So whats Yothat? Some sort of bird I havent hear about?" acting oblivious was always the best way to get to them, make them say what they think you didnt here. He used this tactic alot, its not like Frailpaw was any different.

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    "Of course! Ni-nice to meet you, t-too." Bird? What? "Yes! No? Yeah, yeah!" Go on. Play along and he'll get over it. By this time, his skinny claws were tracing circles in the dirt and he seemed to avoid looking directly at him every chance he got. Shifting of pebbles beneath his paw pads captured his focus and attentiveness and when that was exhausted clouds were sought after. Fluffy white clouds. Like sheep. He'd seen a lamb or two. They were cute, almost as cute as...



  • Pumpkin frowned confusedly, this didnt usually happen. "So a yothat? where is it? If you were so preoccupied it must be pretty interesting. I imagine it tastes good." he felt as if this had come down to a battle.

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    "I'm sure it could." Like him. Where did that come from? Clouds, clouds, clouds. That one twirled this way and that so it had to be a tree. Bushy tail and a pudgy nose meant a squirrel. Those over there were birds so disregard them. "Oh, I dunno. They're...elusive." He wondered how birds felt up there. Free from ranks and cats who they thought were cute but were the same gender as themselves.



  • "Why dont you see if you can spot one of these 'elusive' yothats. Lead the way." he looked down at frailpaw mischievously, the apprentice had gotten himself into this.

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    "Umm..." He began to chew his cheek and a soft hiss rang out when he sliced a small spot using those painful canines of his. His life would be a whole lot easier if they were gone. After the bleeding had stopped, he let a frown emerge and then peeked at Pumpkintail as he had before. "He's rig-ght there."


  • Pumpkin acted all taken a back by the sudden hiss from frail, "Woah, settle down there. Also where's 'there'. Youre looking at me so it wouldnt just so happen to be behind me would it." he turned away to look at the surrounding trees, tail waving gracefully, "Hmm I dont see anything."


  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    "Would happen t' be you.", he choked out as he went dashing for the safety of a bark covered barrier. One was close at hand and there he sat, tensed up with whiskers awry. How could he be so bold? Why'd he say that to the poor tom? It had to be extremely embarrassing to have an apprentice of all ranks declare it. He had scarcely introduced himself as well. What's a'matter with me?



  • PumpkinTail grinned as the apprentice ran behind the tree, his charm, as always, worked like a charm. "Oh well I guess I'll just have to leave then" he padded just out of sight, which wasnt far in the dense pine, before rounding about, and ending up behind Frailpaw. He leaped from his position pinning the frail apprentice to the ground, and looked into his face, "So, looking at me where ya? I get that alot"

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    Starclan knew he hadn't a lick of a charm anywhere in him. He could definitely use some. Hopefully, Frail stuck his head out from behind the tree and was delighted to be informed that Pumpkin had sauntered off. His lucky day. It'd be a piece of cake to avoid the warrior whom he had messed majorly up in front of. All he had to do was stick by all the other apprentices and plead to the leaders in the sky that he'd be dismissed as a candidate for the slightly older one's ward. He could stay off the radar; yeah.


    There was the voice and a mighty paw to match it. Merely a glimpse up caused a aching in his chest and he went to bend his head back so as to be facing the pastel blue of day. Easy there. "C-can't see why you wouldn't."



  • "Wow, is that your best response? You could at least try, youre making this fairly hard for me." he fell back off the tom, though this was fairly fun, the tom was certainly stale at best.

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    Try? Fun? This had to be a means of entertainment for the guy. "Afraid I'm no good at games." Seeing as how his voice became regained helped steady him in spite of the wondering awe that waned on.



  • He gave Frail a sly look, "Who said this was a game?" he walked over fancily, nose almost touching Frails. You had to feel sorry for the apprentice on some level, one minute he was looking at pond weeds, 10 minutes later he was being seduced by a flighty warrior.

  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.5]
    Startled by the close proximity currently shared between the two, the kid lost balance and tumbled onto his back. His twiggy excuse for a belly rose and fell at a rapid rate. "It-it it isn't?" He was one seduced boi boy.



  • "Wouldnt you like to know?" he turned around with a whisk, letting his tail trail across Frailpaws face.
