( ☾ ) it's a quieter day in riverclan. the sky is a pale crystal hue, sun golden on the horizon, sending beams of light flickering across the softly rushing river. midday is generally a busy rush for the felines, but today they've initiated a rest period, a few hours of peace before their clanmates begin to bother them again. dark stone glows hot beneath the mixture of dark fur as the two lead warriors bask in the warmth of the day. willowroot can feel her stress melting away with each moment that passes, comfort pulling at her eyelids and drawing a contented sigh from her chest. beside her, not as relaxed, but quiet nonetheless, the snow speckled smokethroat lays, his eyes shut. willow rolls onto her back, stretching long limbs up towards the sky and accidentally whacking her fellow with a clumsy paw. a small huff of laughter escapes her maw and she'll flip back over, muttering an apology. legs restless but body too relaxed to rise, she gives in to the comfort of the scene.
shifting so that she's laying against smokethroat's side, she offers the man a small lick of affection, curling beside him. they lay like this for a while, neither talking, but both enjoying the day quite thoroughly, that is until pawsteps alert the two to another. cats have been bustling bast them all afternoon, steering clear of the exhausted lead warriors and moving on with their patrols down the river. this npc however has clambered up onto the sunningrocks, and now gives a soft mumble of greeting. willowroot reciprocates, though her eyes are still heavy, and she almost closes them but realizes that the npc is still staring at them. she's about to ask if there's something wrong when the npc smiles, tail twitching. "aww, you two are a cute couple." he comments, and the smoke warrior's eyes snap open.
she has no idea what to say. a cute couple? her and smokethroat? they are perhaps the most platonic any cat can ever get. they are cute friends, a good partnership when working professionally, but a couple? stars, she hasn't heard that before. "um," she begins, glancing back at smoke who has awoken. a mischievous grin flickers across her face and she faces the npc again. "oh stars, you think so? he hasn't asked me out yet. i think he's nervous." whiskers twitching, she tries hard to emphasize her sarcasm, but she doesn't know if the npc understands. it's funny either way.
