Was this what love felt like? Was this what love was? The Bengal didn't know, but he was happy as he continued to run like he owned the world. Even if they were unofficial mates at this time, Desertpaw had gave him a second chance. A second chance that the tom knew he longed from deserved. And, he refused to waste this moment. Oh no, he would treat her as a delicate feather. Because she deserved the best. Everything of the best! Possibly, this was love---feeling like you could run over and over at the end of the planet without fatigue. Thinking of the thoughts of the future, planning a family. This was love. Knowing that the birds were singing around you of their sweet madrigals. This was love. Tigerbreeze had to stop for a moment as he analyzed his surroundings. Where was he? Of course, love also had its flaws. Such as making a feline stumble in blind happiness. Tigerbreeze sniffed the air. The scent was very fishy...the otter-cats. “When did I arrive at the Riverclan border?” He tilted his head slightly, but took a couple steps forward. He was cautious until a sudden thought appeared in his mind. “Desertpaw! What if she's here?” He knew with the recent flooding that Shadowclan cats would be residing with Riverclan. Was he in that much of a blind moment that his paws led him to where his love laid? Where his heart laid? The tom almost felt that he could smell her sweet scent, but instead it was ruined by something else. His ears twitched and the tom followed the unfamiliar scent. It wasn't a Thunderclan scent for sure. This scent was fishy...like the cats across the border. It weren't Shadowclan either. Tigerbreeze felt he knew that scent by heart. The tom began running again, as he were a fast runner. He whirled around a tree, looking up into the foliage, the sunlight filtering through the branches. What was a smile on his face, formed into a frown. Though a frown of curiosity as he eyed the other feline. Tigerbreeze heaved himself up, clutching tightly to the bark of the sturdy tree. He couldn't see clearly at the other cat, but one thing he knew--they didn't belong here. “Hey--um! You lost or something?” Generally, that was the first question he would ask. Trying to get some information as to why this cat was on Thunderclan’s border.

Wildfire hummed a small tune to herself as she turned onto her back, looking up at the leaves and smiling at how beautiful it looked when sunlight broke through the small cracks of the branches and greenery. She lifted her paw and paws at a leaf ever so slightly, quite content in her surroundings, though her ears perked at the tampering of paws and the young she-cat’s amber-hued eyes flickered to the side, watching with a slight raise of an eyebrow as a cat, almost definitely Thunderclan, pranced through the undergrowth like he was the happiest cat in the whole world. It almost made the warrior utter a snicker of amusement, but she kept quiet, watching this tom from her comfortable perch. Wildfire let back all her sounds as she watched as he seemed both confused for a moment and then excited, running all over the place, even around the tree that she rested in. She wasn’t surprised in the slightest when he stopped and gazed up at her in the leaves and branches of the tree. She tilted her head to the side with a smirk on her maw when his smile turned to a frown. “What’s wrong? You thought I was someone else, love?” Wildfire purred, letting a small chuckle slip as she rolled onto her stomach, resting her chin on her paws as the tom heaved himself up the tree slightly, trying to get a better view on her, probably or something - she had no idea how cats acted sometimes. The male’s question made the warrior give a snort and roll of her eyes. “Me? Get lost?” She remarked, “With that powerful of a stench coming from the Thunderclan border, I don’t think anyone could get lost out here.” The orange-furred female’s whiskers twitched at him, “So, what’s got you in a hurry, hmm? You seemed to be running as fast as a hare being chased by a starved Windclan cat.” Wildfire excluded the information to why she was here, nor did she care.
