As the tom finally apolagised a small smile made its way across Snowdust's face. That was all that she had wanted to hear since he had been ignoring her. And she was glad, because she wanted to be the tom's friend too. But he had seemed a little hesitant in his reply, so maybe he was just saying it to be nice. 'Ok...' She mewed weakly, she was going to continue, but the snapping twig and Crazyflight's reaction had stopped her, then, at Pureheart's arrival she stopped altogether and the smile fell from her face as quickly as it had appeared.
As they spoke of hunting and playing she felt a feeling inside her that she could never remember feeling before. It was strange, almost as though she didn't like Pureheart being here. But she knew that she was a lovely cat and a good friend, but something about her presence unnerved her. She wanted to be with the grey tom alone, and now that the new she-cat had arrived she wasn't, his attention was focused on some other cat. Sighing she realised that she must be jeaolus. She liked the grey tom more than she was letting on and she didn't want him to like another cat more than her.
As Crazyflight began the race up the tree Snowdust didn't know what to do, she didn't want to make him think that she didn't want to be with him, but at the same time she didn't feel right being here with them both, not how things had been between the two of them. She looked from one to the other and forced a smile across her face. 'Well, I'll leave you two to it. I'm not much of a tree climber. So I'll find us something to eat. You know, so you don't wear yourselves out too much.' It was a poor excuse but meant she could do her own thing but still see how the tom was with Pureheart.
