Honeypaw took a large gasp of air as she finally reached the surface. She didn't know what happened to her, so she was panicking.
Wildmist sighed with relief as Pumpkinstripe pulled her sister to safety.

A shiver passed through Duskfeather from nose to tail-tip, but this time it was not from cold. "I agree." She whispered, hardly daring to breathe as she met his steady blue gaze.

Pumpkinstripe finally made it back to the base of the tree and tried to rouse Honeypaw. "Honeypaw, Honeypaw! Can you climb?" He decided to only wait a few heartbeats before he attempted to get her to safety himself; after all, she was significantly smaller than he.

(Back! Foxpaw can always freak out that Honeypaw almost drowned )
Honeypaw tried to climb the tree. Her legs were stillwobbly and she felt like she couldn't catch her balance. She shook her head as she coughed up more water.
Wolfshadow's eyes sparkled in surprise. "Y-you do?"

Duskfeather felt emotion well up inside her chest. "Yes, I do." She purred, nothing on her mind but the innocent disbelief in his eyes. "What's not to love, Wolfshadow?"
Pumpkinstripe followed her closely up the tree, ready to catch her should she fall.

Wolfshadow purred, not expecting to get this reaction from her. "So... where do we go from here?" he shuffled his paws, embarrassed.
Honeypaw lost her balance and slid down the tree. Wildmist quickly gripped the tree and grabbed her scruff before she could fully fall. She looked down at Pumpkinstripe, thanks in her eyes.

(Awe Wolf is such a sweetie)
Duskfeather felt herself flush and her gaze quickly dropped to her paws. "I suppose we keep doing what we're doing?" She smiled and met his gaze bravely, excited for their future together.
Pumpkinstripe nodded curtly back, not thinking twice about saving his apprentice. His gaze dropped back down to the current, which didn't seem to be slowing.
(Yes go for it! He might be stupidly oblivious about it at first but he'll figure it out eventually)

Wolfshadow purred. "I'd love that," he told her, before grooming her fur again.

She closed her eyes and leaned in to him, suddenly feeling confident about the clan getting over this flood.

( //Rubs hands together.// Ok, yay! cx Maybe she'll be painfully obvious but he'll consider her a good friend for awhile? )
Foxpaw had freaked- a bit embarrassing, really, considering his usually daring self- at the flood warning. He had hurried to a tree, only to be swept in the current before being helped by Crowpaw, who was a better swimmer out of the two. They got up the tree shortly after Honeypaw was announced missing. Foxpaw had considered helping, despite his fear of water, but Crowpaw had held him back the entire time, keeping a grip on his pelt with either his teeth in his scruff or his paw on his tail. Not that he could say anything, being mute, but it was evident he was very afraid of loosing track of Foxpaw.
Foxpaw let out a small gasp of relief as Honeypaw and Pumpkinstripe returned from the water and came up the tree. Being higher up and struggling to balance to Crowpaw on their tree branch, he decided against going down to them- just yet, anyways- especially because of how Crowpaw was acting.

Wildmist lifted her sister Honeypaw from Pumpkinstripe's grasp. She carried her up the rest of the way, to the foxhole where her brother Ravenstep was at along with Crowpaw and Foxpaw. Honeypaw's fur was trembling as she was brought into the foxhole. |

Wolfshadow closed his eyes and pressed against Duskfeather's fur. He was excited for the time where they would be mates.

Duskfeather breathed in his sweet scent, blind to the world around her. A part of her heart wondered if she was being selfish, if she should be down in the water, waiting to see if anyone needed help. But deep down she knew they would just have to hang tight, and she was going to make the most of it. She snuggled down closer into his warm fur, additionally glad they were beginning to dry off.
Pumpkinstripe's stomach growled loudly. "Oh, stop it." He hissed, looking down. "No prey is going to be found any time soon, and even if it is, I won't be eating it."
(Finally watched Moana today! Sooo sweet!)

Foxpaw let them pass, and then scampered after them, away from the branch and deeper into the fox den, with Crowpaw following suit, flashing occasional worried glances towards camp. Where was his mother, Sparrowtail?
Foxpaw was soon alongside Wildmist and Honeypaw, eyes wide. "Honeypaw! Are you ok?" He asked, while Crowpaw shook his fur out.
Shiverpaw had just barely managed to clamber up and tree and slip into the fox den after Crowpaw and Foxpaw. The small she-cat glared bitterly after them, feeling as usual as if she deserved more attention. Putting on her best miserable face she sniffled as she crawled to the farthest corner and curled up.

Honeypaw shook her fur out, her fur sticking up in different places. "I-I'm o-okay," she said with chattering teeth. "I don't think I'm going to go swimming for a long time," she told Foxpaw. Although she was cold, she felt a rush of warmth that Foxpaw was concerned about her.
Wildmist and Ravenstep each groomed Honeypaw's pelt for a bit before wanting to check on others. "We are going to scout cats from the branches, could you please look after her?" Wildmist asked the young apprentice. She knew he wouldn't mind fully, as the apprentices were the same age.
Wolfshadow pricked his ears to listen to what was going on outside. "I think it's slowly settling down," he told her comfortingly. "It's more important that neither of us get sick. I'm sure Moonpaw will have a lot of cats to look after."

( Goodnight Mint! See you tomorrow. c: )
Foxpaw frowned and gave her a sympathetic lick on the forehead, finding himself shaking, too, from the cold. He unconsciously moved closer to her, his fluffy tail curling around his paws, heavy due to how wet it was. "Yeah." He said with a shaky laugh. "S-Swimming... out of the question!"
Foxpaw then nodded to Wildmist, grinning a bit half-heartedly. "Of course!" He said, as usual trying to sound positive. "I'll lookout for e-everyone."

Honeypaw's fur grew hot as Foxpaw moved closer. "Y-You don't have to if you don't want to," she offered, fluffing up her golden pelt to keep warm.

"No, its' fine! Besides-" He paused for a minute, till smiling and shivering as he finished with another small laugh. "I'd be useless anywhere else anyways..." Foxpaw replied, shrugging. "I'm a bad swimmer so heh."
Crowpaw curled up in a ball, looking back for a moment at Honeypaw and Foxpaw. He sighed a bit and looked away, fur ruffled from the cold as he covered his face with his tail.

"Th-Thank you," she stammered. "I suppose I'm not either," she sighed as she slowly laid her shaking legs down. She was still shaking from cold and fright.

"... I hope everyone makes it out ok." Foxpaw commented after a moment, still sitting up and staring towards the tunnel entrance. "Perhaps I should learn to swim better." He added as an afterthought.

Honeypaw sniffled. "I thought I was until..." she trailed off, still traumatized from the event.

Duskfeather woke abruptly from a troubled sleep, relaxing when she felt Wolfshadow still by her side. She wriggled her forepaws experimentally, working out the stiffness.
(Morning all! Did Mud fully save Juniper yet, or do we need the flood to continue?)
