pafp LEMON BOY // apology

[VULTUREMASK]

Leechpaw had thought about it and he didn't wanna make the same mistake he had done with Rosepaw. Not getting a chance to apologize before something bad happend taking his chance away to correct his mistake. He wanted to be better, he wanted to change to not let this anger control him anymore. Echolight believed he could be good, seeing something in him that Leechpaw failed to see himself but he at least wanted to try becoming a better cat than he had been yesterday. Maybe he never would get there, maybe he would fail in the end but at least he had tried. If anything he wanted to be a better friend to Dandelionwish than the one he had been to Rosepaw.

His paws was almost as cold as ice when he returned back to camp that early morning having been out almost all night to attend to his secret business. On his way back though he had stayed out longer to search for something that could be useful to Dandelionwish in this difficult and cold time. In the end he found something he thought was herbs that had been buried underneath the snow. Tired and hungry the apprentice finally made his way back to camp with what he had find in his mouth to carry it over to the medicine cat den. Leechpaw would make his present known by giving a light scratch to the entrance wall with one of his paws before ducking his head so he could step inside. His orange gaze searched after the chocolate sepia and found him storing some of his herbs. He would flatter down his ears as he come closer and placed what he found down at the other tom paws.

" I, uhm, brought herbs to you..." he paused to glance down at the herbs. " I think." He was uncertain about what he actually had found to be honest. He was not all too good at this but he did have helpt Dandelionwish to gather herbs in the past but that had been in the summer. Times are different now. His gaze did not return back up as he instead stood there staring awkwardly down at the herbs, shifting his paws in the process as well as he tried to come up with what to say. How to do this.

In truth he was very bad at this, to apologize but he rememberd that Dandelionwish had encouraged him to do so in the past when it come to Rosepaw. That it was never too late to make things right. If only he had listened back something he not wanted to repeat. " I know you are running low on them so...well, uhm, i .." he mumbled, stumbling over his own words. Ugh. This was really difficult. How hard could it be to apologize?!. Just do it you foxdung!. " I wanna apologize to you!." okay, maybe that was coming out a bit too aggressive, try again!. He growled to himself in frustration.

Leechpaw started to play with his claws, staring at them as he watched the claws go in and out from his paws. He took in a breath trying to sound softer and less rough this time." I said some cruel things to you...i shouldn't have said that." He stopped playing with his claws. Was this good enough?. Or should he say something more?. He ducked his gaze away, looking over in the opposite direction to where Dandelionwish stood or sat. " Just so you know i don't think your smile is all that bad...i like it sometimes." he mumbled and in embarassment his face would heat up. Stars...what was he even saying?. Shit. He was so bad at this. Leechpaw decided to shut his mouth knowing if he said anything more he would dig his own grave even further down. Uuuugh. So he closed his eyes and prepared himself to be laughted at.

[Dandelionwish]

Engulfed in his task of digging himself a new rut in the wall that he could add extra moss, the medicine cat almost didn't notice Leechpaw was there up until the last second the tom spoke; it was startling enough he gave a tiny jump in surprise but not so jarring that he fell over and knocked anything aside.
"OH-ye done gave me a spook!" His voice broke into a nervous laugh, making it clear he was hardly upset or bothered by the company. If anything it would be a welcome relief to deal with someone who wasn't hacking and wheezing into his ears. Most the clan was sick and it was all he could do to keep himself composed and organized when it came down to it. Other than desperately hoping no one got as sick to the degree as Wisteriapaw had gotten, he could only hope to StarClan that the upcoming medicine cat meeting would give him the backup and assistance he desperately needed. Surely they would be understanding, surely they'd help if he asked despite their clans personal feelings regarding one another? A medicine cat helped all cats, StarClan itself told him this through Rosepaw.
Shaking his head he dusted his paws, turned so he could greet the dark tom with a proper smile and noted the herbs between his teeth looking quite haggard from the cold but otherwise still very useful, "Ye brought me more comfrey! Real appreciate it! Ye didn't have to go to the trouble-" His dismissiveness of the gesture was halted by the proceeding apology and it suddenly became very clear to him what had driven the other to his change of heart. They'd had only a minor disagreement, Dandelionwish hadn't thought much of it himself, but to Leechpaw it had been a very risky endeavor that might drive a cat away from him when what he truly needed was more cats at his side. The sepia point gave an amused huff, tail twitching behind him and as he leaned in to reach for the offered plants he tilted his head to give the other a light headbutt in the process.
"Ye ain't gotta apologize, ye thistle. Always knew ye were prickly since we met and sometimes ye get stuck when ye mess around. But am glad to know ye like my smile-think I'm a right daper look'n cat m'self." His mouth broke into a wide and almost too mischievous of a grin.
