Heronstrike) The tabby made her way from the med den towards the warriors den. She didn't care if Blossomfall got cross with her. Her friends needed her. All of them where grieving from Moodiet's death. But she new Heronstrike was taking it harder. She slant into the warrior den and looked around for her friend

Heronstrike remained cooped up in the warriors' den, not wanting to conduct his new duties. Not yet. It was too early for him to take over Moondust's position. Sighing, he slowly clawed the ground, making marks on the floor beneath. Hearing the padding of paws approaching, he hardly looked up, already having a sense of who it was. Sorreltail.
"It's so empty now. Without you around, and now Moondust, I don't know what to do." he admitted in a whisper.

She paused at the entrance and smiled sadly before making her way over to him and settled down beside him. "I know it's not easy Heronstrike. I won't pretend and act like everything is ok. Moondust meant alot to us all." She rested her nose against his head. "I'm sorry. That's all we can ever be is just so sorry." She mumbled. "Your not alone though Heronstrike. You still have me and Icestar. And Moondust isn't truly gone if you keep her in your heart always." She moewed

As much as he knew that Sorreltail was right about everything that she was saying, just speaking about it made things worse for him. He let her die. He was there. He did not do anything. Moving himself closer to the she-cat, he felt safe, knowing that she would always be around, not matter what. Or that was what he hoped. Just her warmth and her smell made him feel more at home, and that was all he needed now.
"I noticed that Blossomfall made you stay at her den. Was she upset? That you went to the battle?" He looked at her side, and then back to the den entrance. "You're healing again, right?" It was his logic to stray away from his initial worries, and now to focus on someone who was actually still living.

She smiled slightly and nuzzled him closer. Gently beginning to groom his head. "It's Blossomfall. As a friend she would understand, as a med cat she would be very upset. But I dot care. We needed the extra cat there since we were outnumbered." She commented.
"I wasnt that injured. A few fresher wounds but most of them were just old ones reopening. Nothing to worry about." She replied. Her blue eyes scanning his own figure for anything serious. "What about you? What did that Twilightclan deputy so to you?" She asked

'We needed the extra cat there since we were outnumbered.' It didn't really make a difference though. Snowclan still ended up surrendering. His clan lost. Mockery.
"Well, I am glad that you're safe now." he murmured, trying to pull away from her gaze. "Phantomshadow? Not much to worry about. Just a few scratches here and there. And if I end up having scars, well, then that's even better." he purred. "Although I would love to seek vengeance with that she-cat."

She hummed nodding in understanding and agreement. "Yes. I can understand. All of us want revenge I would think. But revenge would be Illogical at this time." She muttered sighing before giving him a small smile. "And I'm glad your alright." She murmured resting her head against his briefly.

"Illogical, but well deserved. We need more warriors. Apprentices. Our numbers are low, and I don't know what Icestar thinks about potentially recruiting the loners or not, but it's still a step closer to growing in numbers." he lowered his voice, starting to calm down a bit again. It was nice, speaking to someone about his opinions.
He felt a bit weird, having her so close to him though, but for now he did not care. He actually wanted her around for once. "I'm glad that you're alright too. Maybe once you're better we can go on a patrol if you're up for it."

She nodded. "I don't know about loners...they don't seem trust worth to me." She commented shaking her head with a skeptical look. Then smiled slightly upon the suggestion. "Hmm. I'd like that." She agreed. "By the way. I don't know if I told you this yet..." She smiled teasingly before nudging him. "But congrats on the deputy position. It's an honor... Despite the circumstances on obtaining that position." She moewed.

"Trustworthy, or not, they will still benefit the clan if we promise food and shelter to them, as long as they agree to give their allegiance to us. I mean, they're bound to know how to battle and defend themselves, so it's sort of beneficial in both perspectives, if you were to ask me." He smiled, batting her ear a bit. "Thank you, it is an honor, and I believe that Moondust would be proud to see how far we've come."
The tom tried to find the words that he wanted to express to the she-cat, but as he tried to, he could not. He was not ready to say them yet. Sorreltail, I think that I love you. I would never want to see you in harm's way, and even though we had a rather rough start, I'm willing to change for you. He frowned, and then placed his head back to the ground. Why was it so hard?

She hummed and nodded. "Well, time will tell I suppose." She moewed thoughtfully giving him a playful glare at the ear bat before seeing his down look. She frowned slightly. "Heron...everything ok?" She asked as she crouched so she could be eye level with him. Her blue eyes worried. Was he ill or just still depressed? She was worried now and unaware of his true feelings. All he saw was her friend looking sad an that didn't sit right with her. "Hey," she nuzzled his head. "Cheer up won't you? How bout I go get us something to eat? Goodness know how long it's been since you've ate." She mused. "And I'm frankly starved!" She piped as she rose to her paws.

He ignored her attempts to try to speak to him. He was done, and did not really want to talk anymore. There was a hole growing in his stomach. Dying to tell her, only to not be able to when he would try. He watched as she got up, and shrugged. Sure, he was hungry, but did he want to eat? He did not know.
So he put on a fake grin and nodded. "Yes, a snack sounds great. Hmm? Probably right before the battle? I lost track of my meals."

Her smile faded again before coming back. "Ok ill go get us something then" she moewed and padded out. As much as she wanted to know what he was thinking...she learned not to push him.
A few moments later she returned with a mouse and a squirrel and set them down infront of the deputy to let him choose.

He watched as she left, and sighed. Good, he would be alone for a couple seconds. That was, until Sorreltail returned, and he sat up, clearing his throat. A mouse and a squirrel. He blinked. Sorreltail deserved to eat more than he did, so he picked out the mouse, small, but still plump.
"Thanks." he mumbled, slowly sniffing the prey.

"Your welcome." She smiled slightly. As she settled down to eat her squirrel. She thought for something to talk about that wouldn't end up making him sad but couldn't find anything so she stayed silent as she nibbled on her squirrel.occasionally glancing over at him.

He slowly bit into the mouse, hardly enjoying the taste of the flesh. He just wasn't feeling it. Catching the she-cat's glances, he gave a smug look. "So what's that look? The one you keep giving me?" he asked, trying to see if she felt the same as him. Rejection? He hated that.

She startled at being caught staring so she ducked her head to hide her sheepish emberessed look. "N-nothing I'm just worried about you that's all." She mumbled poking at her food. "Your my clanmate and even if it doesn't seem like it your the closest thing I have to a best friend..." She trailed off. "Your important to me so I'm worried." She sighed looking away. Silence falling on her as she lost in thought. "And I may even love you..." She whispered swallowing. Her voice border lining a whimper. Half hoping be didn't hear her last confession. She was afraid that if he rejected her that their relationship would be stressed. But if he accepted her...that scared her even new because it was new territory to discover. She gave a shaky sigh and shifted uncomfortably as she rose to her paws. "I-um...I-I'll leave you to rest ok? Try to get some sleep." She offered a weak smile and turned to leave. She wasnt planing on sleeping anytime soon, and by the time she would come to sleep he's be in dreamland already. Hopefully

Hmm? He listened, full of intent. Best friend. Important. Love you. His mind was trying to digest all the words that she was saying. She loved him, and he was down right surprised. He choked a bit on the mouse, and was even more confused when she offered to leave.
Watching he nodded, but then stood up a bit. "Sorreltail? Don't leave. Not now." he half commanded, half asked. "We uhh. .. need to talk. About what you just said." He walked over to her side, in attempts to keep her in the den. "Please?"

She halted and flinched. Avoiding eye contact as she shifted on her paws. "T-talk about what?" She mumbled. Was he going to let her down easy or what? But he could have just let her leave if he didn't feel something right? She sighed and turned to face him but refused to look at him and instead focused her gaze on her paws.

He spilled it. "Sorreltail, you mean more to me than anyone else I have ever known. As weird as this may seem, but I love you too."
With that, the tom stepped out of the den, needing some air.

She snapped her head up with wide eyes as she finally stared at him with shock. Still staring even when he had left the den. He...loved her back? Well that was something. She didn't think he felt anything to her in that since all the time they had been together they seemed to get a negative aura. She inhaled and steadily padded outside after a few moments of thinking. "So what does that mean for us?...." She asked hesitantly. "I wouldn't want to get in the way of your deputy duties....."

Oh great, she followed him out. He was not even ready for this! The tom sighed, and shrugged.
"I don't want you to feel like you're ever getting in my way." he mewed. "As deputy, it is my responsibility to reach out to the rest of the clan, and make sure that everything is functioning in an orderly fashion. Though I do still find you as that annoying kit, it's just a quirk."

She flinched at that. "Y-yeah ok." She mumbled. He still thought of her as that annoying kit? So was he just playing with her feelings or what? He couldn't say he loved her and then said be still considered her a kit. That kinda hurt. "Ummm...b-but really you should rest." She offered a weak smile but didn't look at him. "You have to be up for a patrol right?" She sighed and padded past him. "Night." She muttered as she walked with a slight limp towards the med den.
