The Commander approached the nursery. He'd been here often recently with Fishkit here and Nightshiver taking care of her and a few kits he'd met. He was starting to feel like they had some happy little family, but his bond with Nightshiver was... unspoken. Something always drew him back to her. She was the one cat that'd been around with him the longest. He could still recall their first meeting and how much the she-cat stood out to him. Who was he kidding, she still stood out in the crowd to him.

"Nightshiver?" Hawkbite would poke his head into the dimly lit den and call softly for the forever queen. "Nightshiver, if you can escape for a moment, I want to take you out on a stroll. Give you a moment away from the kittens," Hawkbite offered, a small smile crossing his lips as the words left him. That was another thing. Nightshiver never got addressed without a smile, Hawkbite subconsciously made sure of it.

While many voices would startle the forever queen upon calling her name, Hawkbite was not one of them. Instead, her eyes squinted with an unspoken affection, a smile drawing on her face like second nature as she turned to face the commander;
"Hawkbite,"
She greeted, briefly whispering her goodbyes to a little one as joined his side with a dip of her head.

He always was quick to the point, and she did not mind it. His words were a pleasant offer, and though she held much anxiety in leaving the nursery unattended for too long, there was such a temptation in his offer that she couldn't deny. The little ones were calm at this moment, too, perhaps she could afford to leave just for a little while... Stars know, she wouldn't mind stretching her legs a little bit, perhaps, so after a few moments of contemplation she responded.
"That would... be.. lo..lovely."

Hawkbite smiled as Nightshiver accepted his offer. The Commander waited for her to join him before turning towards the camp entrance and taking her out into the territory. "I think we can both use a break," Hawkbite would eventually break the silence with an amused tone. "How've you been holding up?" Hawkbite inquired, glancing over at his companion.

The Commander would lead her steadily towards a trail he knew about. It wasn't one the warrior typically took for hunting or patrolling so it was a perfect getaway from the clan mania. As they entered the trail, the scenery quieted down and the scents were fresher. Flowers and untouched brush lined either side of the trail and the trees were filled with birds. The chirping was calming to listen to and the soft breeze that brought the sweet scents to him was a nice touch to everything. His gaze would settle warmly on Nightshiver, his fur brushing against her softly as they walked. "It's so pretty out here..." he'd speak, his gaze not wavering from her. Was there a double meaning to that? Perhaps...
