Jekyll )) King's chest tightened as he heard Vinata tell her story. She seemed so happy to be back - he didn't want to take her away from that. "That's... wonderful, Vina- I mean, Newsand." The name felt foreign on his tongue. "I'm glad you found your brother. I bet he was happy to see you." Regret began filling him from his paws to his ears. "I don't want to keep you. I should be heading out now." Newsand's eyes widened and she shot a paw out to stop him, her eyes pleading. "Please don't go, it's great to see you again King. I've missed you more than I could've realized and I want to catch up again. I won't be a loner with you once more, but we can still be close like we once were if you want us to. You could even meet my brother! I bet you two would get along really well." Her heart was beating in her chest as she looked at the tom she had loved for so long, the tom she had thought would father her kits and stay with her forever. That was until her "mother" told her the truth and she had left to find her true home. But now King was back and she could be by his side once more!

Jekyll)) King glanced back, unsure of what to say. He wanted to stay with her, of course he did. He loved her more than she could even imagine. He had spent the entire time they were apart looking for her. "I... I don't want to join your Clan, Vinata. I'm not that kind of cat. I would love to meet anyone you want me to meet. I just don't think I'll belong."

You're the only good thing that came from me being stolen and I don't want to loose you. Please King... stay here. With me." Her eyes shone with a single, pure emotion that spoke even louder than words ever could, love.

Honeyshine blinked, almost surprised that Hawkflight didn't argue back with her and she was instead met his sympathy and even an apology. She looks at him in almost disbelief, her body relaxing and her expression softening, a certain kind of fluttering in her chest as he validated her. "I forgive you, and I'm sorry I scared away your prey." She spoke gently, pressing her pelt against his side in forgiveness. "If I'm being honest then, I think I could use a few pointers if you wouldn't mind helping me." Honeyshine admitted, feeling a little bashful.

Jekyll)) King stared into her eyes, his own filling with emotion. "Of course I'll stay," he whispered. "I'd do anything for you." He gave her a lick on the cheek, his tail stroking her flank. He wanted to say those three little words, but was unsure about how she would react.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight nodded, guiding her with his tail towards the water. He sat down, getting into the position he was before with his paw raised. "Wait until you see the flash of dark underneath the water, and then, when it gets close enough, bring your paw down into the water toes first, with your claws extended. It will minimize the amount of splashing as well as help your paw move quicker through the water. The fish won't even know what's happening." Hawkflight's eyes gleamed. As annoyed as he previously was, he loved teaching others how to hunt and fight. He wished his brother, Sparrowstar, would give him an apprentice, but with the small amount of kits, he doubted he would be a mentor any time soon. So instead he helped teach the current apprentices, like Dustpaw, when their mentors weren't around to fix their hunting stances or keep them in line. He shook himself out of his thoughts and glanced at Honeyshine. He could still feel her pelt against his, even though he had moved away. The lingering touch sent a small shiver down his spine. "You try now," he encouraged.

The she-cat gave a happy squeak and curled into the tom, her prey forgotten as happiness filled her entire being and a purr rose up from her form. "Thank you so much King. I've missed you so much."

Honeyshine followed the tom back to the edge of the water, nodding slowly as he explains fishing to her. Of course she knew all of this information but she did appreciate the tips that Hawkflight had to offer, thinking about all of it when he suggested her to try once again to catch fish. She takes in a deep breath and focuses on the fish, knowing she'd have to be extra observant now, her paw raised and ready to strike. Honeyshine saw another big fish swimming towards them that was close enough, she waited longer than she might've and before it looked like she might let it get away, the ginger and white she-cat quickly dipped her paw in the water, toes first like Hawkflight advised. The young molly jumped back as she scooped the fish onto the grass, watching it jump around before she went in to strike it with her paw again, killing it this time. Her eyes widen and Honeyshine breaks out into a loud purr. "I did it! I got one! Thank you for you help, Hawkflight!" The she-cat purred, pressing her head against his shoulder and gently nuzzling him.

Jekyll)) King pressed against her, relishing in her comforting scent. He breathed in deep, giving her a small nuzzle. She was just as he remembered her. A happy purr rumbled in his throat. "I missed you too, Vinata."

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight stiffened slightly as Honeyshine nuzzled into him, but he soon relaxed into her. "Nicely done. That one is so big, it makes up for the one you lost earlier, and the one of mine you scared away!!" Hawkflight let out a purr. "The Clan will eat well tonight." Just like I wanted, he added in his head. He didn't want to make the she-cat feel bad about losing the earlier fish, especially since she made up for it with this bigger one.

Honeyshine felt him stiffen at her touch and she felt herself tense as well, quickly moving back and offering a small smile. She hadn't meant to get so touchy, but she had just gotten so excited. The she-cat clears her throat and looks at her fish once more. "Should we head back with our prey now, or continue to hunt?" She asked, her tone softer now as she eventually lifts her gaze back to Hawkflight.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight glanced around at his patrol. It seemed to him that they had caught a sizable amount of prey. "Let's head back," he decided, giving a sharp nod to each member of the patrol. "If we keep hunting we won't be able to carry it all." He grabbed the two fish he had already caught in his jaws. The taste of fish was still foreign to him, but he was getting used to it. It tasted like when he was an apprentice and had fallen into the river, swallowing water as he tried to stay afloat. Clearing his head of the painful memory, he began to trot back to camp, setting a brisk pace for his patrol to keep up with.

Honeyshine nodded and retrieved her squirrel from where it was buried before picking up her fish, it was almost too much for her to carry but she managed just fine. She followed along just beside Hawkflight, his quick pace being a bit of a challenge for Honeyshine but she was doing her best to keep up. Just when she was afraid she was going to drop one of the prey in her mouth, relief washed over her when the camp came into view. As they got closer she allowed her pace to slow just a bit, allowing Hawkflight to move more in front of her so that he could fit into the tunnel of the camp entrance.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight entered the camp and immediately placed his prey on the fresh-kill pile, looking around the camp for something new to do. He couldn't see Alfalfaweevil, so instead he picked a small vole off the pile and began to walk away, but before he left, he turned back to Honeyshine. "Would you like to eat with me?" he mumbled around the vole.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight's ears twitched happily as she accepted his offer. He wanted to show her he could be a gentleman, hoping she didn't think he was always rude and crabby. He knew he had a tendency to be that way towards others, but for some reason he didn't want Honeyshine to think of him that way. He padded towards a soft, sandy spot near the lagoon and settled down, nudging the vole over to her so she could take the first bite.

Honeyshine happily followed the other, settling down by the lagoon and tucking her paws into her chest as she made herself comfortable. She stared at the vole for a moment, not realizing right away that he was letting her take the first bite, but when it finally dawned on her she looked at him, purring and giving a short nod before leaning down and taking a small bite. Water vole's were one of Honeyshine's favorite prey, so a vole wasn't far off from being her favorite. Her tail happily lashes from side-to-side, accidentally brushing up along Hawkflight as she swallowed and nosed the vole back to him so he could take a bite. "It's a great pick, Hawkflight!" She told him enthusiastically.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight liked the feeling of Honeyshine's fur brushing up against his, so he scooted in closer to reach the vole. His side touched hers and he felt her purr, a small purr being pulled from him as well. He took a bite of the vole and relished the meaty flavor on his tongue. "Thanks," he murmured. "It looked so good, I couldn't help myself!"

Honeyshine noticed Hawkflight scooting closer to her and she felt her pelt begin to heat up, she looked up at him and let herself study his features. She noted his distinct amber eyes and just how handsome the tom really was. Honeyshine suddenly felt a little awkward being so close, and chalked it up to him just wanting to be closer to the prey, she'd have to scoot it over further next time. Hearing him purr did help her relax a little and she chuckles at his response as she ducks her head for another bite. "I'm sure" She commented then found herself not really knowing what else to say. A moment of silence fell between them before Honeyshine broke it. "What was Treeclan like? Do you miss how things were before the merge?" Honeyshine asked cautiously, hoping she didn't push too many buttons. She'd hate for the harmony between them to be shattered.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 )) Hawkflight stared up at the trees as Honeyshine asked him about his former Clan. "I miss it," he meowed simply. "Our camp wasn't on the ground or near the water. It was hidden within the trees. Every cat would learn how to climb from the moment they were born - they had to, lest they fall out of the trees. Sometimes, at night, I climb the Moonwillow just so I can get a good night's sleep. A nest of moss and feathers isn't really comfortable to me. I like the feeling of rough bark against my fur and the swaying of leaves in the wind, knowing I am safe up where I am." Realizing he had been talking for a while, Hawkflight clamped his jaws shut, taking another bite of the vole to stop himself from saying anything else that could possibly be embarrassing.

Honeyshine patiently sat and listened as Hawkflight dove into explaining what Treeclan was like. She could barely wrap her head around climbing trees, let alone living in one. The sand was her happy medium and Honeyshine already felt the butterflies in her stomach anytime she even thought about learning how to climb a tree, though she's sure she might feel a little more comfortable if she asked for Hawkflight's help. The ginger and white molly couldn't help but giggle softly when he confessed that he would sneak out at night to sleep in the trees, the image being somewhat silly to her. "I don't know if I could ever feel safe or comfortable in the trees, but I'm happy you find solace from them." She said with a shake of her head, not having noticed how abruptly he stopped talking. "I don't think I've ever tried to climb a tree before." Honeyshine confessed before taking a smaller bite from the vole, noticing that it was quickly vanishing. She scoots the prey closer to Hawkflight, letting him have the last bite.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight turned in surprise as Honeyshine mentioned that she had never climbed a tree before. "I can teach you," he offered. "It's actually quite easy." Hawkflight noticed she had moved the vole over to him so he could have the last bite, and he gulped it down graciously.

𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Hawkflight swiped his tail over her flank. "You want to be a good warrior, right? Then you shouldn't let your disability hinder you. If you can hunt and fight with one eye being blind, you can certainly climb a tree like that too." Hawkflight unsheathed and sheathed his claws, kneading into the soil. "Besides, I'll be right next to you. I won't let you fall."
