Just as Cassie needed someone to teach him about the world, Nightlypaw needed someone to teach him about the warm feeling of having a strong bond with someone. They were young, and needed a helping hand to ease them on. Although Night wouldn't easily admit it, he could've used a rock to lean on during a lot of experiences that he drove himself into. The two were quite different, but did share qualities that could use some work. Being young was hard.
If a ghost had revealed itself right then and now, he would probably poof up like a cat-sized cotton ball. While Cas would be panicking, Night would kind of be frantically shaking Cas and losing his damn mind. In a positive, I-can't-believe-this-is-happening-are-you-seeing-this way. Thankfully, a ghost didn't appear, because if it had, both of their future relationships would definitely be ruined. There were quite a few times where Nightlypaw thought that he'd seen a ghost, but instead, it was just a whispered breath of wind or a ripple in the still water. He would have given a lot for those small, meaningless occurrences to be ghosts, but perhaps he was just unlucky. That seemed to be the case, as being unlucky practically defined his whole existence. He had always wanted to have brothers and sisters and maybe even a mom that knew him well. That idea was really just a dream, as it was just him and his dad. They weren't really that close, either. But then again, he wasn't that close with anybody.
Nightlypaw would definitely be one of those people that spooked Cassie. Liking spooky things was his thing. He wasn't big on talking about it, but if someone were to ask, he would be sure to slip maybe one or two snippets of info. Besides, all he knew about ghosts and vampires and demons was that (1) they existed, and (2) they kinda were super cool. It was the thought of living near someone who was dead but still here and ready to float on that interested Night.
The boy had zoned out for a split second, but the other cat's display of fear jolted him back to the present. Although the two were distanced and he didn't exactly have the best vision, Nightly could tell that this cat was definitely smaller than him. Their tail was missing, and their warm-hued, black fur was disheveled. Although he had nothing to be afraid of, as this stranger was no threat to him, the fur on Nightlypaw's neck bristled. It wasn't an aggressive reaction, yet the presence of someone who was alive other than himself had unsettled the tom.
He watched the other raise their paw, his ears alert and pricked forward. The child's jaws parted to taste the air, and what he detected wasn't exactly familiar. The earthy, dusty smell of PhantomClan clung to the stranger's short, ruffled coat. It was vague, but still there. Maybe that was because he wasn't exactly super close to them. When Cassie spoke, the corners of Nightly's mouth turned in a frown. The soft stutter that lingered on their words simply confirmed his already-obvious suspicion that they meant no harm. Their voice was round and light, which was a contrast to his almost-southern, rough drawl.
Nightlypaw hesitated before he answered the PhantomClanner's question. They were trying to put on a brave face, and the approach didn't really suit them. His chest rose and fell with small, calm breaths as he thought of an answer. "Er, I dunno," The apprentice began rather quietly. Instead of carrying on his answer, he seated himself and glanced up at the sky. It was kind of hard to see through the trees, but it was there, spilling light through the gaps in the tree-tops. Night decided it was better to not call them out on their mental state. "It's quiet out here." He said, idly nudging a small pebble with his right paw.
This section of PhantomClan territory was... strange, to put it in the least. It was still and from his point of view, seemingly untouched. This was very different from the busy territory of ScarClan, which was laden with marble pillars and old, Greek buildings. Sure, there were indeed quiet places strewn around their huge, towering mountain, but it wasn't exactly what he would call motionless. This place gave him the feel as if many people were watching him, but they weren't really there at all. It put him on edge, but the feline had no desire to turn back. He was here, so why leave?
He continued to stare upwards for a couple seconds, and then lowered his line of sight back towards the forest floor. When the stranger spoke once more, Nightlypaw's ears swiveledy. over to the direction of Cassie's voice. Where was he from? He could have answered that question with a lot of potential areas, but stuck with the honest one. "Uh... Not here, I guess. ScarClan." He answered calmly. ScarClan's name sounded frightening, but when he looked back on it, it really was a bunch of losers that hated the Exiles. Valos-Kas was one of the weirdest members, but he wasn't a terrible person. Nightly directed his attention back towards Cas, and blinked twice. "M' name's Nightlypaw." The bi-colored tom added, slowly.
With a slight huff, he swished his tail twice. He didn't know this guy's name, or what they were (they didn't smell like any boy or girl he'd ever met), but they weren't hostile. That was pointed out very clearly through their actions. He felt their warm, brown eyes watching him closely and slightly raised his brow. He didn't say anything else, and instead looked them over once more. They had large, round eyes and black, but almost very dark brown, fur. They were indeed smaller than him and his lanky legs, and their fur was shorter. In that moment, Nightlypaw decided was glad that this person was a cat and not a leopard or wolf. There was somethin' sort of comforting that came with not having to look up at someone's face. The boy exhaled a short, muted sigh, shuffling his paws as he did so. It was strange, talking to someone you've never met, even if you've done it lots of times before.
