¨get away from me!¨
he wanted a reaction.hed get one.

¨t-thats good! its..nice to see good moods after the stress with t-thunderclan.¨ he attempted at conversation. though that was honestly rather hard when half of his focus was on the den entrance, for any moment that cuckoosnarl would walk in to see him talking to obsidiansky. it wasnt the toms fault, and he probably thought he was acting weird, but larkfall couldnt be too conscious or careful. if..his mate saw him like this..he shivered at the thought. itd most likely end up with him being forcefully dragged intp windclan terrtory and given a ¨punishment¨. cuckoosnarl always said they were out of love, that they were meant to teach him, make him learn, that he was only jelous and had to be careful around other toms because they could take away lark from him so easily, and he didnt want that. it made larkfall feel wanted for a moment, but there was always that space in the back of his mind where he knew that wasnt true. he doesnt love me.

"I agree... I hope that all ends soon," The tom added in a half-thoughtful tone, glancing into the distance for a second before his attention returned to Larkfall. The other tom seemed so nervous and on edge! Obsidiansky could understand that, honestly he could, but still - Larkfall needed to lighten up some! The more nervous he acted, the more it would show, and that wouldn't give him anything but anxiety. After all, no one wanted to show when they were nervous. It could easily result in much... different circumstances. So he ignored the fact that he could see this, and continued on trying to have a conversation with the tom. "Is there anything in particular you'd like to do? We could always get out of the clearing, if-" If it would put your mind at ease. There was a pause while Obsidiansky contemplated what to say, and then a smile was given as he continued. "-if you would prefer." That sounded natural, right? Even the tom was prone to some nervousness every now and again.
