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.

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?"

Well. He'd planned for Shockhoeny to brush him off. He had not planned for her to actually want to be friends. Uhhh... Maybe we could..." he stammered. He had no idea what to do. Or what to say! Oh StarClan, what should I do? he wondered. "Maybe we can like... have a play-fight? Well, not a play-fight. Like a mock battle? Or maybe moss-ball. No, that's a kit game." he said, humming nervously. "Well, actually, Mr. Sprouts isn't my real dad. He adopted me. T-that's probably why you don't know me."

[ @Rose - I also have no idea what they should do I didn't plan for this ]

Shockhoney was too busy grinning ear to ear at Pinepaw's endearing display of nerves. Nervous, to talk to her?? Yeah! 'Cuz she was an important warrior! (That was definitely not it, but she didn't know that). Though... Pinepaw didn't seem that much younger than her. Only a... moon, maybe? Huh. Wait, what were they talking about again?

Mock battles, play fights, mossball games . . . Sproutfleck not really his dad-- "Oh." That made sense. "That's okay if he's not really your dad. It's like Wolfhive and Bumblestar! They're not real family, but Wolfhive still sees her as his Mum." She shrugged. "Anyway, we can do whatever. I don't mind!"

Pinepaw smiled awkwardly. He tapped his tail on the ground, humming nervously. "I g-guess it's kinda like Wolfhive and Bumblestar. They're just a lot more important." said the tom, rubbing his paw on the back of his neck sheepishly. Wait! He had a great idea for something they could do together!

"We could make leaf bracelets! You weave some plants together and then they make a bracelet! I'll show you how to make one!" he said with a grin, turning around quickly to grab some plants they could use. "Here! Take these!" he said, pushing some towards Shockhoney. He took his and waited for her.
