apologies of the awkward kind

Dusklion - RiverClan Deputy

It was time. Between getting ready to scout for the new camp, securing their territory, and fighting off the last bout of her sickness that had kept her down, Dusklion had decided today was the day she was going to approach Wisteriawren. Did her heart still ache a bit at the thought of her feelings directed towards someone else? Yeah. But more than that, she just missed her friend. Sure they weren't best friends by any means, but the silver tabby provided a sort of comfort that Dusk didn't find often in Clanmates. Especially with her paranoia acting up since their return and everything that had happened, she wanted to hold onto that.

It had started with the deputy sitting at the abandoned twoleg den, shifting her paws. She would get up, start to walk, then turn right back around and mutter a string of curses under her breath. Why was this so hard? She did it a couple other times before finally sucking in a deep breath and pushing through the invisible veil of anxiety that had(n't) been stopping her.

Each paw step that brought her closer to where Wisteria was made her heart leap further into her throat until eventually she was standing right in front of her. "...Hi."

...Oh, StarClan strike her down now.

Embarrassment burned her ears hot as Dusklion let out an awkward chuckle through a half-grin. "Sorry. That was... Um, do you... do you have a moment?" Every part of her was screaming to run and flee from this uncomfortable and awkward situation. But she stood her ground, kept her gaze from wavering, and waited to see what Wisteriawren's answer would be.
