The she-cat pushed through the brush, hindering a snicker once she emerged, pelt slightly riddled with miniscule bits of twigs she would have to pick out of her fur later. The scene of Otterpaw covered in the innards of an egg and feathers from the prey the apprentice had been hunting was a sight indeed.


    However, the warrior did notice something .. odd. The apprentice was covered in egg. However, it was leaf-bare. The solstice, actually. No bird except birds bred to lay were brooding, like domesticated chickens and ducks she had seen on her travels, and there was no way the bird Otterpaw had caught was either. Despite it, the female pushed away such thoughts, instead looking at Otterpaw with a soft green gaze. "Are you alright? And no puns, Magpieflight. That was egg-straordinarily terrible."

    [fancypost bgcolor=Transparent; border: 0px;width: 500px; margin-center: -5px; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: arial;]The white and brown feline looked up at Sootstorm with green eyes surprised. She hadn't expected anyone, much less Sootstorm. "You've seem to found the most coveted treasure of all: me~," the molly said jokingly, feigning a vain attitude with a lavish wave of her tail. She smiled meekly, raising her head and shaking bits of partially melted snow from her frigid fur. To her, Sootstorm was, at the least, a good acquaintance, and what she hoped he would agree as a friend, despite their slightly rocky meeting with him spying on her.


    Her tail twitched slightly in unison with her ear, and she chuckled with an amused glint in her eyes. "You know, I don't believe this bush can hold both of us in a way that doesn't seem intimate or uncomfortable, and I don't think you'd want to cuddle with me, I feel like an ice-cat. And I am not moving, so you can move alomg, Sootstorm," she spoke amusedly in an easy manner, not reserving herself as much as usual. Speaking of how cold she both appeared and was, she eyed Sootstorm's much thicker pelt with minor wnvy and slightly narrowed eyes.

    [fancypost bgcolor=Transparent; border: 0px;width: 500px; margin-center: -5px; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: arial;]Moth didn't want to think of Hawkstride, not anymore. No, she had a future ahead of her without her past lover in it. She instead felt pride at the fact she got Sootstorm to at least slightly smile. There needed to be more smiling faces in leaf-bare, as negativity only left them more susceptible to disease. She welcomed whatever she could get from her clanmates in such frigid weather and bleak circumstances that accumulated now and in the coming moons.


    "Bones are very uncomfortable," she murmured momentarily beneath her cloudy breath, "and, as odd as it seems, I happen to enjoy the cold. Maybe loners are just weird." That was a reason with easy-to-find evidence to prove it true, she thought, amused. Until Sootstorm decided to make himself right at home in her bush, and she ducked her head with narrowed eyes and shifted her body as he made himself comfortable with her nestled right against him.


    She wasn't kidding when she said the both of them in the bush together would be either intimate or uncomfortable, and she could assure anyone that it certainly wasn't uncomfortable. Rather, she felt at home with her back against him and his scent mingling with her own. She didn't know what motives could have possessed Sootstorm to decide to lay in an intimate manner with her, but she couldn't complain, even if she wanted to.


    "It can be a bit overwhelming," she said with a sigh, especially with Thrushstar's kits running around with Mothdust having to often keep them out of trouble, and in camp. They drove her patience wild, but she kept her cool most of the time. "Now I'm curious, what led you to think that it was such a good idea to decide that you would sit around me in a way that if anyone found us, they would presume us quite a bit more than friends?" she asked, pressing herself into his fur under the innocent guise that she was just trying to get warmer, and not simply trying to for her own self-indulgence.

    [fancypost bgcolor=Transparent; border: 0px;width: 500px; margin-center: -5px; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: arial;]i mean,,, she's not totally blind but goddamn she wont get it the first time

    [fancypost bgcolor=Transparent; border: 0px;width: 500px; margin-center: -5px; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: arial;]first off, hAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY WAFTURE
    you're honestly the best and i love you
    and now a gift from me and lyric !! mostly lyric bUT IT WAS MY IDEA
    boop
    oh, and lyric hoped your birthday was lit


    [hr]


    "You've got a good point there," she chuckled, not exactly against such an idea of them being considered "quite a bit more than friends." She relaxed significantly with him around her, despite the circumstances. Mothdust flicked her tail slightly, bringing it near her hind paws as she curled her limbs a bit more to make a bit for space.


    When he began speaking, she listened with a content smile on her maw. His company was more than welcome to her, especially after this endeavor. When he called her pretty, however, her face flushed considerably. Unlike her time with Hawkstride, when Mothdust could easily tell the compliments were empty and fake, she could tell this was real, or real enough to make her flush as much as she did.


    "You're right, it's not a bad thing at all. Whatever this is," she murmured softly, her tire returning to her, but instead at full force because of the warmth around her and her calmed mind. Momentarily she pressed her muzzle to his shoulder and murmured into his fur, "In fact, I like it considerably." A confession she didn't mind sharing with him, especially in the current situation. She pressed her smile against him for a moment longer before turning her head back to it's normal position, satsified with her actions.


    The she-cat kept her smile and gently closed her eyes, but not so that she could sleep. No, she wanted to focus on her other senses more than simply sight. After making sure she wouldn't soon forget it, she began speaking in a quiet manner, "I'm glad I can make you happy. I know life is hard enough as is, but to be the person who can lessen the load, I find, is someone I'm happy to be for you for how ever long you need." With that the she-cat paused, flicking her ear before opening a single eye and looking at Sootstorm, "Any other words you wish to voice?"

    [fancypost bgcolor=Transparent; border: 0px;width: 400px; margin-center: -5px; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; font-family: arial;]you're the blessed one? i am !! im blessed with you almost everyday because you never cease to make anyone smile, and what you have to go through irl is intolerable to such a gem


    [hr]


    She listened with interest, angling her ears to hear better. She could feel herself beginning to melt, her fur mingling just like her scent had as she relaxed completely. A gentle, content sigh whistled gently from her maw. She enjoyed listening to Sootstorm, hearing his rumbling voice, knowing he trusted her with his words and what he had to say. She enjoyed all of it, especially simply laying in the pseudo-den with him speaking to her. Mothdust knew that if given the chance to keep it this way, she would take it almost immediately.


    The feline smiled when he thanked her merely for being his friend, despite the selfish knowledge that she wanted to perhaps be more than simple friends with the tom. "Please, now when people ask how we met we have a story to tell," she said with a playful smile toward him. Why people would ask how they met, she didn't know. She knew some people did, but it would be amusing when someone asked the two of them. It would surely be laughable when they would likely get estranged looks.


    "Whoever said you stopped being irritable?" she joked, clearly not meaning any offense or mal intention with her comment. "And your parents sound like good people, it's a pity I won't be able to meet them. But I honestly can hardly imagine you being an apprentice and still the size of a kit. Which is good, because I much prefer the tom with me now," she said lightly.


    "I've been rather small most of my life. My parents had no idea where I got it from, and it was obvious I was my father's child because I look nearly exactly like him except not nearly as bulky and good-looking," she laughed gently, before looking away at the thought of her parents. Not because something bad happened to them, she knew her father had been well and strong the last time she saw him, and if her mother was dead she would would waltz into a fox den. It was simply their treatment of her, but she wouldn't say much.

    [fancypost bgcolor=Transparent; border: 0px;width: 400px; margin-center: -5px; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; font-family: arial;]"I take after my father with my pelt and eyes, most definitely. He taught me simply how to hunt, and spent most of his time away from the den. My mother, she had been dark and smoky with eyes of an orange-gold. Tall and graceful and, well, everything I'm not. But she was riddled with grief, resulting with her cold towards me as she taught me most everything else. I had five siblings, but I never met them. They were stillborn," the female explained with closed eyes, voice soft.


    She didn't speak of the tendency of her mother's family to give birth to stillborns or have miscarriages. It was a thing of shame that Mothdust's father had encouraged her to hide, because. Such facts became known, he proclaimed it would chase away possible suitors. All of which she hadn't wanted. She could always find a flaw in pitiful façades until her father had finally forced her to be with someone. To be honest, she hadn't taken to many people in that period of time.


    Unlike Sootstorm, Mothdust kept herself cautious with what she said. She couldn't reveal too much, as it would ruin the moment. She wouldn't dare do anything to possibly do such a thing. Instead, she took to listening with poised ears and interested eyes. "And we're just small enough to leave space for a handsome tom to sit under a small bush with us," she chuckled, the action shaking her frame gently as her small voice rolled with laughter.


    "Please, you only flatter me. If you ever saw my mother or some of the she-cats I once knew, your jaw might fall off and you would never be able to bring it back up," she said lightly with a bemused smile. It was true, fore Mothdust had known plenty of people in her days. Many had been vain and cared only for their appearance, how Moth usually only groomed her fur when she really needed to or when her fur had caught something like a teig in it, which happened more with bushes dying and their limbs becoming more brittle.
