"WE’VE COME TO A DANGEROUS PLACE"
After a peaceful rest in the medicine den, the smell of herbs was far too strong for Dusk. His peridot gaze looked around the camp, searching for a familiar face. Taking notice of the looks from those in camp, he kept his head down. Maneuvering through the crowd of felines, ensuring none of them would be harmed with his presence. That was until his eyes found a familiar face. That of the cat that seemingly had helped his situation. “Crimsonbite.” He felt odd saying the name aloud again, his paws seemed to lead him towards the ginger feline. His lanky legs moved
forward as if on their own, his tail waved behind him like a feather blowing in the wind. The feline’s ears were perked, a sign of his friendliness towards the other tom.
“Uh. I wanted to say thanks. You know. For keeping me out of trouble with Blaze.” Dusk gave a rare smile, one of gratitude. “You seem…different from the others.” It was an innocent remark, one that could be misconstrued. After all, it was true. He had been the only one not demand his story. In fact, he had only asked what had attacked him so that they could heal him. It gave him a reason to speak truth. Unlike the rest, he didn’t care much for the past. He just cared. “You care. You put up walls, but you care.”
