Instead he simply smiled with something close to a coy expression, dipping his head in a parallel greeting. He took a seat opposite Clovepool, doing his best to sort of puff himself up a bit. Stretching his spine, trying to make his posture a bit more regal. He couldn't match her, of course, but he could damn well try his best. Clovepool seemed shockingly receptive to his advances, so he was fairly certain that Shadepaw's father was no longer in the picture. Delightful! Indeed I am! he purred, in response to her comment about him still being standing. Or sitting now, whatever. It didn't really matter. So I'm led to believe that you don't mind. Can't say that I'm disappointed. Quite the opposite, in fact. He was THRILLED! Now how to proceed. More flirting. That he could do! So tell me, Clovepool, how does one become so fantastically radiant? Though I suppose you must not be sharing, seeing as I've not seen any other cats looking this amazing. Ah, he was really outdoing himself. A sort of subtle compliment with a hint of wit, oh yes, he was killing it.

As Shrewstep contorted his body to appear larger in stature and spoke with a sly tongue, Clovepool merely watched with wide and observant eyes. A small, sweet smile plastered on her face. Behind that, pure amusement in the form of pity. He certainly lived up to his name, didn't he? Bouncing around so eagerly, the image in her mind made Clovepool mentally scoff. He seemed gullible and impressionable enough. She began to wonder just how loyal he would be, however. And would he be of any use at all in the grand scheme of things? Clovepool's ears twitched at the question as she began to belly laugh, throwing her head back and shaking her head, "
Ahaha... my dear Shrewstep, one doesn't become radiant. You either are... or aren't." She purred, the rich tone of her voice shifting downwards in pitch towards the end of her response. Her eyes narrowed into sultry slits as she began to circle Shrewstep, her dappled flank brushing gingerly against his affectionately,
"Now... you tell me... exactly when you think my daughter's training will be finished." Clovepool questioned with a fabricated sweetness to her voice.
