BerryTooth padded over to ReedShade with two mice and a bird in her jaws. She set them down and smiled triumphantly. "I guess it was a good idea for us to come here!"

The squirrel seemed quite plump. She saw Reedshade and Berrytooth and strolled over to them. Although she only had one catch to their multiple, in her mind, its girth was plenty to make up for it. "Shall we head back now?"

Reedshade purred in agreement at Berrytooth's words, hoping to avoid speaking of his little meeting with the loner. "Well done," he meowed, looking at her catches. Nodding to Sparrowheart, he dug up his shrew and offered to carry the bird for Berrytooth. His shrew seemed remarkably small to theirs, but no matter. "The nursery will be purring in delight when they see our catches."

BerryTooth nodded. "Thanks ReedShade. And I'm sure they will be." BerryTooth leaned down and picked up her two mice. She shook her fur out and turned back towards the camp.

Sparrowheart saw this as a perfect opportunity to gossip. "Yeah, especially with Coldfire joining them soon." She purred in her own amusement. Surely the other two cats would find that as tantalizing information.

Pawing the shrew and bird close together, he manoeuvred them in order to pick up both, and padded alongside the two she-cats. Reedshade's ears twitched at Sparrowheart's words, glancing to her. "Really?" he mewed, muffled through the combination of fur and feather in his mouth. "More kits will be good for the Clan," he said. They always needed new budding warriors for the nursery.

(Oop, sorry)
Mothpaw looked taken aback. Did he do something wrong? He only had facial cues to go by, so he wasn't sure. He tilted his head, unaware.

AshPaw saw MothPaw tilt his head and understood that the tom was confused by his reaction. AshPaw looked at the other nervously before taking a deep breath. Since the tom was deaf he told him in the easiest way he could think of. AshPaw lifted one of his paws, took another breath, and pressed his paw onto MothPaw's chest over where his heart would be.

Sadly, that didn't make Mothpaw understand any more clearer. In his medical mind he thought that must mean that something inside was hurting. Would Yellowherb help with that? He pushed the herb closer to Ashpaw's feet.

"Indeed they will," Sparrowheart said and began walking towards camp, "Not sure who the father is, though. She won't say." But also, Sparrowheart didn't want to pry. She was already doing bad by gossiping. For all the she-cat knew, it was a rumor.

AshPaw saw that the tom didn't understand and inwardly screamed. This was already embarrassing enough! AshPaw shook his head and then pressed his paw to MothPaw's chest again before tapping his chest with his paw, mimicking the tom's heartbeat.

Reedshade purred, his sleek golden-brown pelt moving through as they walked towards camp. "Whatever happens, we'll simply be glad for our new warriors. The Clan will remain as its warriors, after all. The more, the better." The idea of having kits himself had passed his mind for some moons, now that he was no longer quite so young and eager to prove himself as a warrior. His time would come. "I wonder who will follow her."
[ ooc: time to sleep, so if you want to write them going into camp, go ahead! ]

Sparrowheart looked down at her paws. She murmured, mostly to herself, "Not me." The tom, if he heard, could take it as he wished; whether she was being defiant or being lonely.
---
Mothpaw only had a small understanding of abstract things such as having feelings for someone else. He, himself, had never had such feelings. The only thing he knew of love or anything like it was his mother's warmth and his mentor's encouragement. So, sadly, all Mothpaw could think was herbs that might help his bellyache. Clearly that's what Ashpaw had, right? He tapped his mouth and then the bundle of herbs, indicating that the other apprentice should eat them.

AshPaw let out a huff of breath before looking the tom in the eyes. His own eyes were filled with amusement and love as he circled his tail around and laid it over MothPaw's whose was by his side. Then he shook his head at MothPaw's gestures before touching his nose to MothPaw's again and pressing his paw against his chest again, trying to get him to understand.

Mothpaw was getting a few ideas. Right now it was a concept that they were similar. Were they brothers or something? Mothpaw didn't remember having siblings. Maybe he was trying to play? He felt bad, and also frustrated, that he couldn't understand.

I kinda think Beepaw would work with either of those two? So maybe we could have a training session or Beepaw attempting to help Twistedtail. )

My loner is also open))
AshPaw thought of another idea to get his point across and thought about if he should or not. He finally made up his mind before taking a deep breath and licked MothPaw's forehead. That was one of the gestures for `I love you` and AshPaw was taking a huge risk, but he didn't care anymore.

(Either or, I'll leave it up to you ^^ )
That gesture resonated with Mothpaw a little. It was a piece of affection that his mother would often do to him when he was younger. Especially when other cats were moving their mouths at her. Did Ashpaw want him to lick him back? Well, it was worth a try. Rough tongue gently repeated the forehead lick with a purr that he could not hear.

AshPaw's eyes widened at the gesture but he still saw confusion on the other tom's face and knew of only one other thing he could do to truly get what he was trying to say across. He smiled at the tom, twined his tail with his, and took a breath before licking MothPaw's chin, one of the most basic gestures of love.

What Mothpaw was getting from all this was affection. A warm fuzzy feeling that Ashpaw cared. He just really wasn't sure why. But it didn't matter why. The medicine apprentice flicked his ear and picked up the herbs. They needed to get them home before they completely dried out, and Ashpaw was apparently feeling better.

AshPaw hung his head sadly. Unable to fully get his point across and now he felt like he had embarrassed himself. He picked up his bundle of coltsfoot and started to pad toward the camp.

Mothpaw was unfazed. Abstract concepts were simply hard for him to understand when he had no verbal or written way to communicate and learn them. He wasn't embarrassed at all by Ashpaw's actions, and was unaware of his sadness or feeling of humiliation. He was just happy to have company and herbs.

As the two toms reached the camp AshPaw padded ahead and entered the camp before making his way to the medicine cat den and placing down his herbs. He sighed sadly before turning back around and padding solemnly to the apprentice's den. Laying down in his nest her folded his ears down and put his paws over his eyes, his head swirling with thoughts and humiliation and embarrassment weighing in him. He also thought that MothPaw did understand and just didn't want to be near him anymore.

For Viperstar Beepaw laid on her back with her paws in the air. Her paws kneaded the air. To her, it looked like she was touching the clouds and making them all fluffy. The amusement lasted a very short amount of time. The clouds did not move as fast and her legs were starting to tire. She flopped over to her side to watch the camp. Camp wasn't much better than the clouds. There were no apprentices to speak to and no Viperstar to ask for training. When she had become an apprentice to the leader, she had been excited. She was going to train under a leader after all. Only great warriors trained under leaders, everyone knew that. What she did not realize was how busy a leader was, especially with the deputy gone. It seemed her mentor was always running around and not paying any attention to her. Beepaw on the other hand remained very still. The bored she-cat huffed and set her head on her paws.
