. • ° ✿ ° • .
It was always a relief when the announcement of the pick of the warriors going to the gathering were announced, especially when Meadowslip's name was called, causing her attention to shift from the small vole she had been munching on to the leader that sat upon a broken log, tail rested neatly across his paws. With a small twitch of her ear, Meadowslip finished her vole in a final gulp and stood, padding towards Eaglestar. She sat down in front of him, head slightly tilted upward to eye the leader curiously. The other warriors, and the three apprentices that were allowed to come, gathered near as well.
As soon as Eaglestar and Flameheart, the deputy, deemed the clan was ready to depart from the camp, they took lead and escorted the group of warriors, apprentices and cats alike out of their home. They trotted along to the clearing down the terrain that was used every full moon to host a gathering with their 'opposing' clan, CreekClan. Meadowslip's gaze shifted from her sister that she walked near - SorrelSkip - too the clan that had already gathered in the clearing. The trek to the clearing was obviously a relatively short one, at least to the brown and white tabby molly since she tended to keep her attention on the surroundings, not solely focusing on the journey.
After arriving in the clearing, Meadowslip nudged Sorrelskip, letting her know she would be off mingling before the gathering actually started. "If I'm needed, you know how to find me." She chirped happily before breaking off from the rest of the clan to further look around and poke into conversations happening nearby. However, no conversations seemed to peek the young mollies interest. She left it at small greetings, dipping her head and flicking her tail here and there to greet a few CreekClan warriors she recognized from the previous gathering. Though, admittedly, she didn't really remember their names.
Meadowslip let her gaze fall on the leaders that were now gathering by the large tree, completely ignoring the way she walked foreword. That was until she bumped into a broader figure of another feline, one who was reeking of the scent of the clan that wasn't her own. With a small 'oof,' the brown tabby sat back, pawing at her cheek and letting her green gaze shift to look at the cat in front of her- the one she had accidentally run into.
"Oh, mousedung, I apologize, I wasn't watching where I was going. I tend to do that a lot, get into my thoughts and don't pay much attetion to my surroundings," Meadowslip meowed, words just tumbling out of her maw with little to no effort of keeping herself from oversharing. "My Starclan, I don't believe we've talked before! I'm Meadowslip!" She added with a beaming tone, a purr vibrating it's way through her throat as her green eyes met the icy blue ones of the tom she was now talking to. [ Junospower ] -- wowowow this was lowkey a rough starter, i'm still a tiny bit rusty with writing for cats but hopefully this works <3 i made her a little bit of a ditz / scatterbrain too, she overshares and is always in her thoughts, but she loves to talk and like i said shes veery adventurous, hopefully you adore her like i do :3

-` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾If Hollowfrost was to be honest, being called to joined the gathering came as a surprise to the young tom. For whatever reason he had doubts he was to be chosen, after all, he had attended the last few before. The young warrior, however, wouldn’t dare miss out on the opportunity to go. The gather this moon should prove interesting, what with the growing tension between CreekClan and their neighbors SpruceClan. This was a night of peace, however, and as stubborn as Smokestar can be, even he knows not to start up too much trouble with the other clan on a night like this, StarClan forbid. Hollowfrost did his usual mingling, though it was clear that their was still so hesitancy with pleasantries with some cats, fortunately most of them remembered that there will be no enemies today. He was just heading over to his usual spot when he was suddenly slammed into small brown and white shape in front of him. Judging by her scent, she was from SpruceClan. Her rushed apology that tumbled out of her caught him off guard, yet any annoyance bled right out of him. “Quite alright, you didn’t see me there,” he replied back as he rubbed his nose with his paw, a well meaning purr rumbled in his throat. (It’s okay, mine’s rough too. Keep in mind I don’t always write up big posts like this, but I’ll always write a good paragraph )

Given that she had apologized so quickly, Meadowslip felt he face starting to burn with a feeling of embarrassment. She had a tendency to speak before she even had a chance to think about what she was saying- causing her to feel all the more embarrassed about how quick she was to apologize to the tom before her. Instead of backing up and away, the brown and white tabby flicked her ear, licked her paw and ran it along the side of her face, a soft purr still rumbling in her own throat.
"I definitely should've been a bit more careful. I should've scented you," Meadowslip started, green eyes shifting to look the young tom over slowly. "Though, I don't think I'll complain, you seem like you might be an interesting cat t'talk to." The brown and white tabby tilted her head and flicked her tail, before allowing it to rest against her paws, sitting a little closer to the tom now, expecting him to keep the conversation going with interest. Meadowslip was the type of cat to talk somecat's ear off, but she also enjoyed listening to others talk, being dazed from the stories that she recalled listening to as a kit bothering the elders. She loved stories. And she just hoped that this handsome young warrior, albeit from another clan, would be just as willing to chat while their leaders allowed the clans to mingle as she was. [ Junospower ] -- it's really quite alright ! i tend to overwrite and get descriptive sometimes. so long as i have something to reply to i won't mind the length. write as much or as little as you need! my own will probably be a bit shorter in order to get you more replies also, i think i'm gonna head to bed, but i'll be around again tomorrow ! g'nighty !

-` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾A small chuckle rose from his chest as she continued, “Interesting to talk to huh? Now that’s a first. Especially coming from a SpruceClan cat.” For the life of him, he had know idea why the tabby and white she-cat before chose to talk to him of all cats. Sure he’s mingled around the clearing for a greeting or two, but he usually sat alone when listening to the leaders, often near his other clan mates. Perhaps the young she-cat, Meadowslip, had some sort of infectious energy to her that kept Hollowfrost where he was. He found himself settling where he was, his fluffy tail also curling around his paws. ”I’m Hollowfrost. Forgot to introduce myself there. I don’t think I’ve seen you before either,” he said with a few quick licks to his chest. (Ahhhh look at our babies go!!)

Meadowslip remained quiet for a moment, listening to the tom intently as he introduced himself. Her ears twitched and she let a purr rumble through her throat, flicking her tail towards Hollowfrost with interest. "Hollowfrost." She echoed after a moment, sniffing softly before letting out her out bout of laughter. "Hey, I promise not all SpruceClan cats are as stuck up and snarky as they may seem." She teased, green eyes glinting with a playful nature to back up her words. Meadowslip shifted to give Hollowfrost a soft nudge with her shoulder, initiating a playful and friendly interaction, hoping he'd catch on.
"Hopefully this isn't our only interaction then, and I'll see you at gatherings more often?" Meadowslip mewed, though her sentence was more of a question over a statement. It was possible the tabby was hinting that she was already enjoying the small chit-chat being exchanged with the tom from CreekClan.

-` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾(Oh your fine! Love that your listening to silly love songs for the atmosphere haha) Hollowfrost purred another bout of laughter. For a Tree-Climber, she was rather friendly. “Can’t see a reason why not, think you can handle talking with a CreekClan cat long enough?” He teased offering a playful nudge back. Meadowslip was a pleasant enough young cat, could make for good company. A part of him hoped that the two clan leaders would hold of starting the gathering a moment longer so he can continue the conversation. (By the way, after this convo, do we want the leaders to talk or should we do a timeskip to a few days later or something?)

[ ooh, hm, lets do a mini skip? maybe they can run into each other at the little tree area that you sent the other day, while they were both eiither on patrol or on a hunting trip with other clan members, but split up from the group they went out with? just an idea
If you want, feel free to start it off next then :3 ] M e a d o w s l i p | ❀ accompanied by: Hollowfrost
. • ° ✿ ° • .
Meadowslip gave her chest a few licks, feeling a tiny bit flushed from the comment that she had made herself, usually not being so extremely forward herself when it came to talking to cats outside her clan. She looked up at Hollowfrost again and dipped her head a little, green eyes sparkling with playfulness and interest as she nodded quickly in response to the toms question.
"I for sure can handle that," She retorted, voice laced with a playful tone. She was going to add to her response, but the conversations were dying down around the pair as the leaders, Smokestar and Eaglestar, jumped up onto the branches of the tree to address both clans to start the gathering. Meadowslip turned her gaze to eye the two leaders, pupils narrowed with interest as she sat a little closer to the grey tabby tom beside her, hoping he didn't take the fact that she grew quiet in the wrong way. She wanted too continue talking, but refused to be rude while the leaders spoke. Especially when Eaglestar always tended to notice how she'd chat while the leaders were talking. It was unfortunate he paid so close attention to her over her sister. But, she did tend to be the more adventurous and troublesome of the pair.

-` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾 (Ooooh that’s a perfect idea! I like it!) After hearing Smokestar ramble on about the state of their clan, the two clans began to part ways. He had noticed that the brown and white tabby beside him had sat particularly close to him, he didn’t seem to mind. He chirped a farewell to Meadowslip, before heading off to joined his clan for the return journey home. Redclaw, as per usual, greeted him as he approached his clan mates and- as per usual- walked a bit too closely to him for his liking. He glanced one last time over his shoulder at the figure he had sat with before he and CreekClan disappeared into the undergrowth. He didn’t get much sleep that night, thoughts distracted by that same brown and white tabby. —— It was about sunhigh and Hollowfrost was chosen for a small patrol with Redclaw and Thriftfur. It was a simple border patrol and Redclaw was chatting their ears off, but he wasn’t paying to much attention to her. The patrol was heading down by the river that bordered SpruceClan.

[ glad you like the idea too :DDD ] M e a d o w s l i p | ❀ accompanied by: HoneyPurr, SparrowCall, StoatFoot and CreekClan Patrol
. • ° ✿ ° • .
Thanking Starclan that she didn't have to go on the dawn patrol, the brown and white tabby molly was able to enjoy her longer sleep, dreaming of the gray and white tom that she had conversed with the night of the gathering. While they weren't expected, she wouldn't complain. However, Meadowslip was broken all too soon for her liking from her dream as Honeypurr, Sparrowcall and Stoatfoot roused her from her slumber to go out hunting.
Reluctantly, Meadowslip climbed out of her nest, shaking moss from her sleep ridden pelt and giving her shoulders a few licks before following the group out of the camp. She left Icepaw to tend to the elders with Applepaw and Bumblepaw, telling the white tom that he could join as soon as he was finished. After conversing with the young apprentice, who seemed a little sad that he wouldn't be going hunting, Meadowslip trotted quickly to catch up with the group once more.
"I want to hunt by the river, I want to see if I can find any voles." Meadowslip purred, licking her lips as her stomach growled at the idea of catching a fat, juicy vole. It was her favorite. The group agreed and made their way to the river, eventually splitting up to effectively cover more ground to catch more, and prevent the prey from being scared away as they did so.
Meadowslip's paws trailed along the river until she noticed the twisted tree that bordered both clans. She twitched her ears and crouched, spotting a squirrel that was nibbling at an acorn at the base of the stump. She lowered herself and crept foreword, completely focused on catching the squirrel. But, unfortunately, the sound of a molly chattering nearby caused the squirrel to scurry up the tree.
That didn't stop the brown and white tabby though. She launched up the tree quickly after the brown furred prey, grasping it in her claws as soon as it rested on the lowest branch. Delivering a killing blow, Meadowslip jumped down nimbly from the branch and started to dig a small hole to bury the prey, wanting to return after catching more. The sound of the nearing patrol on the opposite side of the border had the brown tabby sitting back now, nose in the air to catch a scent of the cats in the patrol, wondering - or maybe hoping - that Hollowfrost was a part of it.

-` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾The patrol headed down the to the river, all seem good and quiet. Hollowfrost tasted the air, he could tell that SpruceClan had marked their border earlier, even from across the water. With all quiet, the patrol started to head back. However, there was something holding Hollowfrost back, he could detect a familiar scent, SpruceClan, but sweeter. “Why don’t you two head back without me. I’m going to see if I can snag a fish down here,” he called to his fellow clan mates. Redclaw offered to stay with him, but he politely declined. StarClan above, ever since the two were made warriors two seasons ago, the dark ginger she-cat had been nothing but clingy! As soon as the two warriors were long out of his sight, the gray and white tom made his way down closer to the river, but saw no sign of the she-cat he had strangely hoped to see, though he knew she was still there. “It’s alright,” Hollowfrost called out, “They’re gone now.”

. • ° ✿ ° • .
Meadowslip remained close to the tree after kicking earth back over the squirrel for a moment, before she stepped over the tangled roots that jutted out of the earth underpaw. She twitched her ear at the words that the tom spoke, head tilting at his words as she made her way closer to the river that split the two clans, though reeked of both scents from the two clans, seeing that they had just been marked recently.
The brown and white tabby molly purred softly, dipping her head towards the grey and white tom. "Didn't mean to seem like a scaredy cat." Meadowslip mewed, settling down at the edge of the river. She lifted her head once more, closing her eyes, and lifted a paw to effectively groom down the fur behind her ears, seeing as they had been sticking up from lack of grooming before she left camp. "I was hoping I'd get to see you again." She added shortly after, one green eye opening to peer at the ice blue gaze that belonged to the tom before her. "I might've purposely come around here on my hunting patrol in hopes I would see you." She admitted, flicking her tail. It wasn't like her to be so straight forward, but Hollowfrost seemed to bring out a different side of her that she never knew- an honest and excited side, thrilled at the idea of talking to another cat from a different clan, despite it being forbidden and suspicious.

They’re doing something with the power tomorrow :< I’ll probably use cell data tomorrow haha) As he swam across to met her, he listened to her voice speak to him. He knew he should be driving the warrior away from their border and he knew especially that he shouldn’t be speaking to her outside of gatherings, but something inside him drove his paws forward through the water. He crawled onto the shore on the other side, now putting himself in even more risk if he was spotted. Fortunately the river washed and covered any scent he might bring over the border, yet his heart wouldn’t stop pounding in his chest. Whether it was from the thought of getting caught in enemy territory or that he couldn’t stop looking into those beautiful green eyes, he didn’t know. The longer he looked, the less he found himself caring. “I’ll have to admit, this came as quite a surprise on my end,” he breathed, “It… It’s good to see you…”

Meadowslip watched as the tom swam across the river, twitching her whiskers and lowering her paw as she finished grooming behind her ears. A small purr began rumbling in her throat as she tilted her head. Her expression seemed to brighten up all the more at the words that Hollowfrost spoke, licking her chest to hide the flustered feeling she was getting from the words. Hollowfrost saying it was good to see her? She could probably just melt right then and there, but she tried her hardest to keep her composure.
The brown and white tabby looked back up at Hollowfrost as he stepped foot onto SpruceClan's side of the border. While her mind was screaming that she shouldn't be allowing this, she ignored it and flicked her tail against Hollowfrost's nose playfully. "It's good to see you too." She purred in response, standing up slowly and circling around the tom. "I don't think I could ever do what you just did- swimming that is. But you made it look so graceful." Meadowslip mewed softly, sitting down after circling the tom once more.

I have work on Sunday, but fortunately it’s a half-day and I’ll be off a 3 PST :>) Hollowfrost scoffed, but the tone was clearly playful. “You should have seen me when I was just made an apprentice after my first swim. You couldn’t tell the difference between me and a drowned rat with all this fur I have,” he purred, his head following every movement Meadowslip made as she circled around him. “It’s strange. Ever since the gathering, I was hoping to see you on the other side of the border. You picked a good spot to hunt, patrols rarely come down here.” He turn back toward the CreekClan border, while SpruceClan had the luxury of a shore and tree on their side, the slope on his side was far too steep and was a bit of a walk to get to this exact point. For some unknown reason, he made a note of it in his mind.

Meadowslip carefully sat down beside the larger tom, head slightly tilted to her head as she listened curiously to his words. She would be lying if she said it didn't make her heart race when he mentioned that he was also hoping to see her. She couldn't shake the purr that erupted from her throat, giving her chest a few licks as she looked towards the creek, growing a little to shy to keep eye-contact with the tom beside her.
"I'm glad, you know. To know I wasn't the only one hoping to see you again." The brown and white tabby stated softly, lifting her head once more to look towards Hollowfrost. "I got pretty lucky with this spot. It's open, but far enough away from camp that we... won't get caught." Meadowslip mused, twitching her whiskers. "Could the fact that we've both come to the same side of our territories be... a sign? Maybe from Starclan?" The molly asked in a soft tone, eyes glittering as she searched Hollowfrost's gaze with her own.

It felt strange, he knew that indulging in this was wrong, against the code he swore to uphold. And yet, Meadowslip has a point. Some force, possible StarClan themselves, led them to meet each other again, and so soon. “I can’t help thinking that too…” he murmured gently.

Meadowslip felt herself relax, feeling rather safe around Hollowfrost, despite just meeting the night before. She looked from the tom towards the river, flicking her tail as a soft, contented breath let her nostrils. "I'm happy you agree, Hollowfrost." Her voice was soft and sweet like honey. A small breeze ruffled her fur as she got an idea, possibly a dumb one, but one she couldn't help but suggest. "Surely it'd be okay for us to meet here again, though, right? Maybe we can... I don't know, I can maybe teach you how to climb and hunt in a tree, and you can teach me to swim?" Her suggestion tumbled out of her maw without a second thought. Meadowslip felt a tinge of embarrassment but truly all she wanted was to spend more time with Hollowfrost. And if sneaking out of camp to meet him was the way to do it, then she would.
