Orangeblossom, practically radiating a good mood, had made a beeline for Hailstone as soon as she'd entered camp. When she couldn't find him out in the open, she peeks into the warriors' den, and there she finds him adjusting his nest. Every time she sees him there, like he belonged, the deputy feels a small squeeze of relief - he'd been staying longer and longer in SkyClan - but at the same time, vanishing for longer when he did stay with his twolegs. It's a terrifying dichotomy, one that might reach a tipping point soon, but that's not what she's come to talk about. The deputy brightens a little and pads over, murmuring into his ear as if sharing a secret:
"I want to show you something. Come with me." Brown eyes sparkle with a rare excitement as she pulls back and jerks her head towards camp's entrance. An invitation, a request. Of course she'd show him first.
Orangeblossom's paws thud against refrozen slush, claws gripping patches of ice for barely-there traction as she sets a quick pace through the trails of SkyClan territory. She has to slow to a walk every so often, not used to running in the wake of her injury, but it's definitely faster when she knows when she's going. It doesn't take them long to arrive, the deputy slowing to a halt next to her discovery; a small patch of little blue flowers nestled under the dappled shade of a pine tree. Most of them are still buds, unopened, but a couple have unfurled to show blue petals to the sky. As if saying hello, I'm here, newleaf is coming. It will be okay.
"They're the first ones I've seen." I thought you might like to see them too. The second part of her thought goes unsaid, but Orangeblossom turns her eyes shyly towards Hailstone, waiting for his reaction.
