This was so different from their earlier apprenticeship, he didn't know what to do. So instead of speaking, he simply stood there, his chin on her head, her head on his chest. His purring grew louder and louder, wishing the moment would last forever.

Echofrost let the moment drag on for some time. Their bodies pressed together, hearts beating as one as time seemed to stretch on around them endlessly. The rest of the world seemed so far away in that moment, no thoughts of Ratsting becoming leader or any cat noticing them intruded her mind and peace. All that seemed to exist in the moment was the two of them, and it was a sensation Echofrost wanted to experience again and again, this solitude and peace. Though a brisk wind picked up and swept through the forest, piercing through her thin coat and sending a chill down her spine. It sang promises of leaf-bare and cold, cruel times. She pulled back with a shiver. "It's getting cold Ratsting." She mewed softly, looking up into her eyes with round ones filled with affection. She couldn't seem to wipe the awestruck look of love off her face. "We should head back before it gets too dark and chilly." She suggested, though she didn't want to go back to the clan. There were too many cats in the clan that she didn't enjoy the presence of for her to be happy there. Perhaps once Ratsting was in charge she could get some influence on who got to stay in the clan and what to do with the weaklings that she despised. "You need rest as you've got big plans coming up too."
