TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT
siltcloud ♕ 17 moons ♖ female ♘ she/her ♙ shadowclan warrior
She's long stopped questioning it, her answer found in the midst of midnight wanderings, battle scarred tom at her side. She does not know the how or the when, but she certainly knows why. She's always been like this, she thinks, walking that fragile line between friendship and something more. It'd happened with poppypaw - wide eyes and loud voice shoving it's way into her icy heart before she'd even known it. It'd happened with loampelt, witty snark and stuttering confessions etched into her very bones. And now, it's happened again - and she'd only noticed too late, when she's fallen too far and too hard for the charms of playful gossip and righteous morals.
She has no intentions to cat on her newfound infatuation - at least, not at first. Green eyes were content to simply follow the grey-furred feline from a distance, carefully crafted smiles upon her face with every passing conversation. But it'd shattered the moment she'd gotten sick - the fear that had flickered across her face all to easy to read. With den walls between them, it'd been easy enough to hide the heat that burned in her cheeks, the pain that echoed in her chest.
Now that they are face to face, there is no hiding.
She only means to bring fresh-kill, the frog she clutches tightly in her jaws her hard earned efforts of the day. But when she sees @lilacfur laying there, something softens - the painful hurt that had lingered this past moon fading with only a glance. "For you... you need to eat well, stay strong. Until they come back," words come out gentler than ever, and she almost goes to touch her, to brush dust-hued muzzle against nearby ear - a gesture even Siltcloud things she cannot explain away as meaningless.
But she then she remembers, and she stops, pausing only to shy away - gaze averting awkwardly. Uncertain. Lost.
