There is truly nothing periwinklepaw enjoys more than spending time with his clanmates. Despite his shyness, he's always been a rather tactile creature - seeking out affection wherever he could find it. Even in his apprenticeship, when the tom had graced the camp on his sleepless nights he often curled up next to or coiled around whichever clanmate would allow it - sharing warmth and basking in the sense of companionship. Even in the medicine den, it was not uncommon to find the boy inching closer to vulturemask and getting as close as the other would allow, seeking out that familiar comfort.

Today is no different - with the sun out and no longer hiding behind the clouds, the taste of new-leaf on the air and son to come, periwinklepaw finds himself sprawled out upon outlook rock once more sharing casual touch with a clanmate. The difference this time? The fact he's getting to do so with a friend - or at least, what he thinks is a friend. For so long now it's only been him and dustpaw, for as much as he loves aspenpaw can a sibling really be a friend? and dandelionwish and vulturemask were... different. They were not children his age, they were adults the both of them, or close-to. They'd always been more authority figures than simple companions as much as he adored them both.

But azaleapaw? An apprentice who tolerates him? Who had never mocked him or belittled him or looked down upon him? That's a friend in his mind. With a bright smile on his maw and blue eyes closed against the glare of the light, he's content to simply enjoy their brief respite between patrols, eager to resupply his energy stores while their mentors are off enjoying their own breaks - perhaps eating lunch or maybe taking a nap. He doesn't much care either way after all. One eye slowly opens, glancing at the smaller she-cat beside him. "h-h-how was t-t-training?" he asks, voice soft and light and carefree. As he waits for an answer, he does his best to press his flank against hers crossing the barrier of 'personal space' if she'll allow it.

[Azaleafrost]

Outlook Rock was a special place to her, now. After sending Reedstrike plummeting down to his death, she felt pride whenever she came by here. It was the first step.... The first step on the path she had chosen. The path of power and vengeance.

She sat up here because she felt no guilt whatsoever over what she did. She felt it was like disrespecting her mentor, which was great! The weather was comfortable, and the stone beneath her was pleasantly warm. She was a little dirty from training, and she planned to groom soon, but she just wanted to rest a bit.

To her great surprise, she felt Periwinklepaw snuggle up close to her. She felt.... Something. She felt a flutter in her chest. He was so nice.... She didn't usually like such close contact, but with him, it felt nice.

Because Periwinklepaw was nice. He was never mean to her. She liked him, one of the nicer cats in this starforsaken clan.

"It was... Good." She said. "I did good as usual." She added. "How about you...?"

This was such a new feeling to her, she didn't know how to deal with it. Affection of any kind.....Was foreign to her.

[SNAILSTRIDE]

Despite everything, the new weather was a silver lining. Longer days meant more time bathing in the sun and less time wrestling with a lackadaisical sleep schedule. Dozing off was beginning to feel good again, knowing that they would wake up with the warmth of the sun on their ashen belly. The tabby may have been in the process of falling into slumber again, up until they were broken out of their trance by a conversation happening above them. It was hard to hear what was said from the bottom of the highrock, but murmurs were clearly being exchanged and curiosity got the better of Snailpaw. They rolled onto their stomach and stretched into a standing position, taking a big leap around the side of the meeting place. They scrambled halfway up the jutting stone until they recognised Periwinkle and Azalea's markings from behind. Oh, they weren't interrupting another budding romance, were they? Pupils shifted left and right, a silence overtaking the bubbly apprentice. When they didn't sense 'the vibe', something that had been incredibly, incredibly obvious with other apprentices they hopped forwards once more. A wide smile on their maw, not quite reaching the exhausted eyes of an emotionally fatigued being, but existing all the same.

"Room for one more?" They beamed, flopping down at an awkward angle close to the others but not directly touching them. They acted as a barrier between the exit to the high rock hangout and the two apprentices as if trying to shield them from the horrors that lurked below. It was something Snailpaw would never be able to do with claws or spiteful words, both felt foreign to the should-be warrior, even if the latter had risen in thoughts more and more as of late. "I dunno what you're talking about but I can get involved! It's nicer up here anyways, it beats-" They interrupted themselves with a stretch and a prolonged yawn, their teeth jagged and mature. It wouldn't be long before they became an uncool warrior, it was a day they were dragging their paws to reach, while simultaneously wanting it to happen in hopes of earning themselves some newfound freedoms. "It beats having to hear Fire's snoring! Hehehehe, with how loud that is, no wonder why StarClan keeps on coming down here - it keeps waking them up!" He mewed mischievously.

[DAZZLEPAW]

Dazzlepaw had just left one of the tunnels not that far away from outlock rock itself. He would shake his fur to get rid of the dirt and dust before sitting down to lick one of his new fresh wounds he had got on his chest. While doing this heared noises coming up from the rock itself. Ears perked straight up like a rabbits and Dazzlepaw would stop with his wound cleaning to glance up and narrowed his eyes thanks to the sun to get a better look. He could see figures up there, clanmates of his. With new sparked curiosity the tunneler got up on his paws to make his way up the tall rock until he arrived to the top where he could see Periwinklepaw snuggled up next to Azaleapaw. Next was Snailpaw who not stood that far away asking if they could join into the cuddle party. That turned his resting face into a wide grin.

" Heeeellloooo my partners in crime! ~~ he greeted them all loud and clear, all of them involved in at least one crime with him so thought it was fitting. Approaching over to where Snailpaw stood he would repeat his clanmates words. " How about me?, may i join your cuddle party too? " he asked as he lifted a paw to point it at his own chest while patiently waiting for their answer, under the meantime Snailpaw entertained them by saying something funny!. " Not only starclan, we tunnelers can hear her too!. The whole ground shakes down there whenever she snores!" he added in with a snicker.

A dopey grin lights up his features even more, a quiet laugh slipping past his lips. "W-w-well, I d-didn't g-g-g-get beat up th-this time!" he jokes. He rarely shows up to sparring sessions anyways, last time had simply been a misfortunate coincidence. Pale eyes turn onto snailpaw with a friendly flick of his tail in greeting, listening attentively to the older boys ramblings. "Of course," A yawn breaks out upon his own face - why are they always so contagious? - and he nods sleepily.

A conflicted look enters his gaze before hardening at the newly proclaimed warriors name. He's still unsettled - by her, by himself, by his actions. "T-true, thats wh-why I sleep in the m-medi-cine den m-mostly," he says, half-joking. Its mostly because he's simply spent more time within it's walls healing from one illness or another and somewhere along the way it'd become his too, but it's true that the quiet certainly helps a little.

When dazzlepaw arrives, Periwinkle can eel his face heat up in uncertainty - poor azaleapaw can probably feel it to as his body flushes red beneath his pelt and he becomes a living furnace. As much as he likes his fellow apprentice, the unexpected flattery often leaves him squirming and embarrassingly unsettled. Theres nothing special about him after all - he's just... him. "o-o-of course!" he's quick to repeat. He's steadfastly determined to ignore whatever this feeling is, instead giving another soft laugh at the joke. "I b-b-bet her snoring w-w-would even sc-are away badgers,"
