He/Him | WC:285

It was obvious the newcomer and Berrypaw were close. There was a lot of physical affection, and a torrent of emotions surrounding them. The sight made his stomach turn with what he understood to be disgust, but in truth was much much closer to jealousy. He really had no one close to him, only acquaintances and rivals (and he had plenty of the latter). His purpose was to serve Dawnstar, and he had already been failing at that, how could he have time for anything else?

Gentlepaw lived up to her name as always, though something like Fearpaw, or Stutterpaw would've been more exact. Still she spoke, asking everyone about their day. It was a pretty boring question all things considering, any possible interesting answer would be discarded due to the pair of Shadowclanners being strangers, and with weather like this how could anyone's day gone well? His pelt was tangled with mud and sand, which might take him hours to get out, and it would only become dirty again in the morning. Stars, he was ready for Green-leaf.

Their answers were all boring, like he expected, though the brown and white's one did give him a small smile. But maybe that was how it was supposed to be? The clans could never have a conversation that was more than basic small talk due to the constant fear of the truce breaking, how pathetic. But who was he to break the cycle? "I nearly didn't come because of the weather." By now he was wishing he hadn't. He looked Gentlepaw in the eyes as he spoke, holding her accountable for the fear that flooded them, and to partially see if it would make it worse.
