Pinepaw padded up to Shockhoney, his heart pounding and racing in his chest. What if she said no? What if he let it slip that he had a massive crush on her? And if that happened, what if she didn't like him back? What if she hated him? He took a deep breath. Come on, Pinepaw. You've practiced this. he thought. Voice shaking, he spoke. "H-hey Kestrel- I mean, shockhoney. My bad. Would you like to... uh... hang out with me? I-I think you're pretty cool. M-maybe we could be friends?" he said. Pinepaw, you sounded like an idiot! He hummed anxiously.Hopefully she also wanted to be friends. "O-oh! That's right! Sproutfleck is my dad! H-he was your mentor, r-right?" he stammered.

Shockhoney
She/Her | [ #flocklitterkestrel ]

She didn't quite recognize this apprentice - or, sure, she knew his name and had seen him around a couple times, but Shockhoney didn't know him on a personal level. So when she was approached by Pinepaw, who was asking to be her friend, the beige feline only blinked at him a couple times in surprise at first.

'Do I know you?' She wanted to ask, or 'I think you might have the wrong cat', she wanted to say, but after his mention of Mr. Fleck... he did have the right cat! "Sure!" She grinned at the other cat. If he knew all about her - which of course, he just had to, because everyone had to - then he was probably cool, she guessed. And... Mr. Fleck had a kid? Huh, how come he'd never told her? Anyway, he'd called her cool, and any little bit of praise usually went straight to Shockhoney's head, so... "What do you wanna do, then? Since we can't leave camp?"
