Charmpelt shook his head softly, laughing to himself as he did so. Of course he wasn't stupid; Shiverlight probably didn't care about him, but then, why was she coming back? Out of guilt wasn't even an option. No one came back out of guilt. They left out of guilt. And anyways, what would she be feeling guilty about? Everything pointed to the fact that she did, actually, enjoy these meetings. And yet still he felt sort of bad. The tip of his tail twitching, he grinned at her before his expression changed. There were two cats heading down the border. On her side. "Um-m... Shiverlight, you might want to take a look over there..." Rarely did the tom ever use her actual name. Unless he was being 100%, completely, without a doubt serious. And all of those boxes were checked right now as he stared worriedly at the approaching couple. Such a cute couple, he thought with a chuckle, glancing back at Shiverlight as he did so. Too bad they weren't on the same side of the border. Then he could bother her 24/7. By now, he wasn't quite sure why he was coming back. Interest seemed to be fading, and yet he was returning every time. Maybe just once, he wanted to hear her say something nice about him. Perhaps she had before, but if she had, he wasn't sure if it was a dream or reality. More of his brain believed it was a dream. Because after all, this was Shiverlight he was talking about!

　

Redflight's sharp hues narrowed, and she glared at the two cats. Disgraceful. At least they didn't look too happy, otherwise she would have all-too-gladly accused them of breaking the Code. Perhaps the ShadowClan cat was running the RiverClan one off. "Come on. We'd better go back sure they're not doing anything stupid." Glancing up, and quickly away when he looked at her with his softer eyes, she darted down the border, keeping her own hard gaze on the two cats. No, she wasn't avoiding him! I'm not. I'm not going to avoid him. She thought. Why was this so awkward all of a sudden? Was this the way crushes were supposed to work? Oh sure, she remembered them from her apprentice days. Those heart-stopping moments when her crush would look up and smile at her, but Redflight hadn't felt any of that in quite some time now. Thank goodness for that. Her expression annoyed as she got closer, she stopped to make sure that Scorpionsting was following her. In a sense, she wanted to... protect? Yes, that was the word, protect him. Make sure that he didn't get hurt. Unless it was from her yelling at him as she often did. It was a rare occasion when Redflight actually liked someone, but when she did, the feline became even more unpredictable. She could be yelling one second, smiling as though nothing were wrong the next. All part of her confusing nature.

"I'm not going to fall for that mouse crap-" snapped shiverlight in the heat of the moment before she heard the crack of a branch and her head jerked behind her so quick. Her nose twitched and when she saw the pair padding quickly towards them fear went down her chest. "No..." by now they had picked up her scent and had identified her. If she ran she would easily have been noticed back at camp. Just take it, that was her only option. She turned to face them with a poker face. Blinking a few times before stiffening up and trying to keep her fear and regret on a low. She swallowed hard and tunred a hostile glare at char,oelt threatening him to say something stupid. He's going to give me away. That mousebrain! as she watched the cats approached she curled her tail around her paws and when she noticed the feline as redflight her hope of escape withered like a flower in leaf bare. The she cat was belidgerant. Always at war with herself or someone else. Shiverlight had met the she cat or at least witnessed her violent outbreaks... Especially on the small Tom next to her. She didn't know him but she did see him get the brunt end of it. The she cat puffed out her chest regardless of her dropped mood. It shall be a battle of the ages if she could say so herself. Both felines had lungs full of the wind from all four corners of the world.

Scorpionsting growled slightly as he trampled a stick and nearly fell over himself. Than he picked up the speed. "Uh. Well. Both of them are already doing something stupid" he responded
