She could almost feel the embarrassed heat radiating from the gray and white tom, but she wasn't about to mention it. She would tease him later when there was less tension swirling around. She was concerned about what Whitestar was thinking, aligning himself with BreezeClan like he had, but she wasn't going to go against her leaders decision. Not unless she had a really good reason to do so. She would sit back and watch as she always did to see what happened. That was how she collected all her gossip and so far a lot of it hadn't been completely false. If only she had really listened to the conversations going on whenever Dawnstar had come to camp. She should have known something was up. She was glad to see the shy apprentice perk up a bit at the prospect of them getting to see each other more. It made her pelt heat up a bit and her tail twitched slightly. She really liked Albatrosspaw, despite Amberpaw telling her that spending time with him was a straight line to some kind of disaster. She could just consider him a friend right? He was a medicine cat so even if she did want something to come about between them it wasn't going to happen. Not unless she wanted to get him in huge trouble, which was the last thing she wanted. No, for now she'd just accept being a friend as much as she thought she might want something more. [color=7ea7d8][b]"Well if Spiderstar and Coyotestar can shake the bugs out of their brains then we could all be strong together."[/b][/color] She wasn't sure how Whitestar or Dawnstar was going to convince the other two, but what BreezeClan's leader had said made sense. Sure the clans had always been separate, but what if that was the wrong way to be? With everyone sharing territory, prey, herbs, and knowledge they wouldn't have to worry so much about going hungry or losing clanmates to preventable illness. She was just an apprentice though so what did she know. Her ears swiveled backwards slightly as she heard Finchwhisker's voice calling for her. She stood from where she was crouched behind the rock and shook out her pelt. The waterfalls were nice, but they did send mists into the air that settled on her fur. [color=7ea7d8][b]"I should go before I get yelled at,"[/b][/color] her tail twitched, [color=7ea7d8][b]"Again."[/b][/color] She couldn't help herself as she took a step towards Albatrosspaw and licked his cheek before turning and bounding off to join up with the rest of her clan, [color=7ea7d8][b]"I'll talk to you later!"[/b][/color] She called over her shoulder before she caught up with Finchwhisker. Amberpaw gave her a narrow-eyed look as Duskpaw dropped into step with the sandy she-cat, [b]"What were you doing?"[/b] She had told the other apprentice about her friendship with Albatrosspaw, but she was still suspicious that there was something more going on between the two of them. She rolled her eyes as she flicked the other she-cat with her tail. [color=7ea7d8][b]"I was just talking to Albatrosspaw. He seemed afraid after all the hostility, so I wanted to make sure he was alright."[/b][/color] She could feel the blue eyes burning into her pelt as she was scrutinized, but Amberpaw finally just shrugged. She let out a mental sigh of relief as she sped up to keep step with her clanmates back to the cliffs.
