-` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾Hollowfrost let out a soft laugh of disbelief, “That’s so strange… I was about to ask you the same thing.”He dared to press himself a bit closer to the small tabby figure besides him, “As long as you’re there to teach me,” he looked quickly over his shoulder and breathed a sign of relief that the rest of his patrol wasn’t returning to check on him. “Perhaps we can meet here again, tonight? After moonhigh?” It was a risk, he knew, to meet again so soon, but he needed to see her again.

The brown and white tabby molly let her shoulder press against the toms, a laugh leaving her maw as she nodded her head in response, eyes glittering like stars in the night sky. "Of course I'll teach you." She purred softly, whiskers twitching to show her amusement. When Hollowfrost suggested meeting after moonhigh, Meadowslip twitched an ear in thought. She couldn't recall being on the dawn patrol the next morning, so she wouldn't have to worry about walking up early. She'd just have to tell Icepaw their training would be pushed back to sunhigh instead of earlier. "Yeah... I'd love to meet again tonight, a little after moonhigh. Theres a gap in the brambles around the camp I can slip under to sneak out." She felt adrenaline coursing through her already, quite excited to meet up with Hollowfrost once again, even if it was so soon.
Meadowslip stood up slowly at scent of an approaching cat- noticing it was Honeypurr's scent. She nudged the tom with her nose and purred. "Better get back to your side then, Hollowfrost. We'll meet here again, tonight. After moonhigh." Meadowslip meowed softly, taking a step back. She didn't want the tom to get caught, but she also wanted to make sure he got across safely. |

-` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾The gray and white tom nodded, “Right, I’ll see you again. Tonight.” He lingered for just a second longer before slipping into the water and crossing the river. After climbing up the slope, he made his way further up the river to where he left his clan mates. There was a spring to his steps that he had never noticed before, a new bit of excitement. Hollowfrost rolled in some leaves to hid Meadowslip’s scent and tracked a mouse, hoping to use it as an excuse. He later met back up with Thriftfur and Redclaw. “Where have you been? You took ages!” the dark ginger she-cat stated. “Weren’t successful in fishing, I see?” Thriftfur teased. ”Unfortunately, manage to snag this mouse though,” he chuckled as the patrol headed back to camp. Hollowfrost gave one last glance towards the direction of the border and followed.

accompanied by: hollowfrost, then honeypurr, sparrowcall and stoatfoot.
sorrelskip & icepaw mentioned [ Junospower ] Meadowslip lingered at the edge of the water, watching Hollowfrost cross with a soft gaze. Once he had emerged from the water on the other side and began trotting off, the brown and white tabby took it upon herself to return to the squirrel she had buried. Before she did so, she rolled herself in the dirt to help mask the scent of the tom she had just been practically snuggled up again. Eventually, she grabbed the prey she had unburied and slipped through the undergrowth to be met muzzle to muzzle with Honeypurr, Sparrowcall and Stoatfoot.
The three looked a little displeased at her lack of prey. "Was all I coulf find!" Meadowslip mumbled around the squirrel. Stoatfoot trotted beside her and nudged her with his shoulder. "You're lucky its a chunky thing, that squirrel. Otherwise Sparrowcall probably would'a said something snarky." The black and white tom murmured as Sparrowcall - the large brown and white tabby who was unfortunately mates with her own sister - flicked his tail in annoyance, obviously overhearing the pair.
Meadowslip couldn't help but roll her eyes as she dragged her paws back to camp, though casting a final glance at the disappearing border behind her. The brown and white tabby molly slipped into camp, dropping the freshkill off before going to find her own apprentice, wanting to let the white tom know of the plan changes for tomorrow. She just wanted the time to go by sooner, killing it by training Icepaw in camp with some hunting techniques and battle stances, though she was heavily distracted.
It didn't seem to go unnoticed though- her sister, Sorrelskip, staring curiously at her from the nursery, but said nothing, wondering if it was a one time thing. But, with Meadowslip's constant flickering gaze from the apprentice she was teaching, to the camp entrance, to the hole she and her sister had made as apprentices, to the sun that was slowly starting to set, it was obvious something was on her mind. But, alas, her sister left it be, for the time being.
[ i'd say feel free to skip to moonhigh if you'd like  ]

(Looks very pretty! And oooooohh some drama brewing with Sorrelskip!) -` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾By the time that moonhigh rolled around, Hollowfrost was too excited to even pretend to fall asleep. As quietly as he could he slipped out of the warriors’ den and through the gap in the reeds by the elders’ den he had made earlier. As quickly as he could muster without being noticed, the young warrior darted for the SpruceClan border, not wanting to waste a precious second. |

[ apologies for such a late response, and probably my only for the night ;-; i got dragged into another voice chat with a friend since he wanted me to hang out until his birthday hit on the hour.
I'll - hopefully - be able to get out more than one reply tomorrow. just didn't wanna hop off my computer without replying, especially since i've so much muse :') ] M e a d o w s l i p | ❀
. • ° ✿ ° • .
accompanied by: Hollowfrost [ Junospower ] The day only seemed to drag after Meadowslip dismissed her apprentice to go hang out with the other apprentices. She watched the white tom with half interest, mind on her meeting that would take place soon. Eventually the clan was beginning to retreat into their dens, cats growing tired as the moon slowly rose in the sky. The brown and white tabby retreated to the warriors den, hoping to throw the other cats off to make it seem like she'd been sleeping.
However, rest never came, too excited for the secret meeting she would be having with Hollowfrost as soon as moonhigh hit. As the last cat settled and started breathing quietly, hinting that they had fallen into a slumber, Meadowslip rose to her paws and tiptoed her way out of the warriors den, flinching at the crack of a leaf under her paw. Thankfully, none of the warriors stirred, only a small ear twitch from Softwing and a low snore from Flameheart were given in response. Despite her raacing heart and roaring blood in her ears, the brown and white tabby slipped out of the den quickly and towards the small hole in the brambles. She didn't notice the green gaze from Sorrelskip at the nursery entrance as she slipped under the thorny undergrowth and out of camp without a second glance back.
Meadowslip was quick on her paws as she slipped quickly and quietly towards the border. The moonhigh patrol would just be getting back to camp when she reached the agreed upon meeting spot. Her green eyes glittered like stars as she peered around for Hollowfrost. It seemed like she was the first to arrive, sitting by the bank of the river as she slowly started to groom her pelt. She had stray pieces of moss from laying down in her nest before she left. Starclan forbid she looked unkempt in front of the tom who had her sneaking around and had her heart racing.
Green eyes were cast on the other side of the border, though, await the toms arrival with excitement.

(Hey no worries! Just glad to see a response (: ) -` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾With a breath of relief that he had made it to the river, Hollowfrost walked the long distance to their meeting point. He looked across the water to see the elegant form of Meadowslip waiting for him. He purred to himself and started to cross the river. The gray and white tom hauled himself on the bank, water streaming off him like a duck, and raced up to meet her. “Sorry if you had to wait long…” he greeted, pressing his nose to her muzzle, taking in her sweet scent. |

. • ° ✿ ° • .
accompanied by: Hollowfrost [ Junospower ] The sight of the tom crossing the river had caused the brown and white tabbies tail to thump happily against the dirt below her, green eyes seeming to glow all the more with the happy and excited feeling the molly was now playing. Meadowslip had to keep herself from jumping up and running into him to nuzzle his face with her own. Instead, a loud purr erupted from her throat as Hollowfrost approached her, dripping wet from the river water.
Meadowslip let out a small breath, one she didn't know she was holding, as she nuzzled the tom who was now standing before her. "I'd wait as long as I need to if it meant I got to see you again." She purred out softly, giving Hollowfrost's shoulder a soft lick. "But, no, not long at all. I got here a few moments ago." Meadowslip explained gently, flicking her tail against the toms nose with an amused look. "I think I'm just... Really excited to actually be here. Seeing you again. Even though it's only been half a day since," She mewed, tilting her head to lick her chest in embarrassment as her own excitement. |

(\o/ woooo!)
“Me too, I never thought in all my life I would do something like this, but when I first saw you, I knew this will all be worth it,” he purred gently. He meant every word. As much as the small voice was screaming at him that he was breaking the warrior code, looking into the beautiful green eyes of Meadowslip strengthen his resolve.

. • ° ✿ ° • .
accompanied by: Hollowfrost [ Junospower ] Meadowslip held Hollowfrost's gaze with the same thoughts gnawing at her own mind. She knew it was wrong, against what she had grown up being taught, but at this point, she didn't care. Ever since she was a young kit, her mother had always told her and her sister, Sorrelskip, to follow whatever made her heart happy. And she'd be lying if she said Hollowfrost didn't make her heart soar and feel happy already. The brown and white tabby nuzzled Hollowfrost once more, purring loud. "I'm really happy, Hollowfrost. That we're here. That you're here." She whispered softly. She eventually pulled her head back, getting to her paws. "What should we do first? Unless you want to just enjoy each others company for now, then great Starclan, am I okay with that too." |

(Got home from work a little bit ago so I’m all ready to relax and this is how I relax haha, you?) -` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾As much as Hollowfrost want to just bask in the budding tenderness they’ve created, they had all night to do that, and he was sure they would be able to do so later. He glanced around, eyes settling on the shallow water near by. Want to give swimming a try? It’s shallow where we are and I’ll right beside you,” it was a long shot to get a tree-climber into the water, but the SpruceClan she-cat next to him had a sense of curiosity he hadn’t see from any of her clan mates. |

. • ° ✿ ° • .
accompanied by: Hollowfrost [ Junospower ] The brown and white tabby let her gaze shift towards the river that lapped against the river bed. Meadowslip twitched her ear in thought, head slightly tilted as she let her gaze turn back towards Hollowfrost. "While I'm not much of a swimmer, I would love to learn if you're teaching me. So, yes!" The molly purred happily, taking a few steps towards the shallow water that Hollowfrost pointed out. Most Spruceclan warriors avoided the water at all costs, preferring trees, bushes and undergrowth and getting dirt on their pelts over getting them wet - even if it was raining. Meadowslip was the definition of adventurous and curious though, so she was all too intrigued on getting in the water, letting her front paws get soaked as she stepped closer to the water. "You'll make sure I won't drown, yeah?" She asked playfully, looking towards the tom with a purr rumbling in her throat. |

(Yeah I’m watching some Jerma stream highlights in between myself lol)
“StarClan forbid!” he purred in laughter, giving her a playful and gentle shove on the shoulder, “I’ll be right beside you the entire time, I promise.”
The big gray and white tom trotted over to the bank and step into the water, walking far enough to where it barely reached his knees. With his long, feathery tail he beckoned the brown and white tabby closer, “The first part is the worst bit I imagine for a SpruceClan cat, and that’s learning to get your paws wet. Once you get used to the cold water, you’ll hardly notice it. This is what we teach the kits back in CreekClan.”

. • ° ✿ ° • .
accompanied by: Hollowfrost [ Junospower ] Never in her moons of living did Meadowslip ever believe she would willingly step paw into the water from the river that separated the two territories. Since she was young, she had always been taught to stay clear from the water, assuming that currents could take a grown cat under without the proper training. She had heard of the water being powerful the further down stream, having taken a few Spruceclan warriors in the past. She let her gaze land on the water as she followed the tom into it. Her ears flattened slightly at the sting of cool water against her fur. She didn't have the thick coat like Hollowfrost, which probably kept him warmer against the cool current.
Eventually, the brown and white tabby was in the water, looking excited still as she glanced at Hollowfrost. "I can only imagine how much harder it'd be to swim farther down the river. Does your coat ever make it hard to swim? Since it seems pretty thick." She questioned curiously, wadding in the water to get directly beside the tom once again. |

“It used to, back when I was an apprentice, but we eat plenty of fish so it helps keep our fur sleek enough to repel the water. Like I told you earlier, I used to look like a drowned rat after my first swimming lessons,” he joked as he step back just a little bit more so that the water reached his belly. “Let me know if you’re uncomfortable at any point and we can stop.”

Honestly it's pretty late, and I was going to stay up a little longer but my eyes are betraying me. So, If i don't reply after this i might've headed to bed. So i'mma say goodnight now  ] M e a d o w s l i p | ❀
. • ° ✿ ° • .
accompanied by: Hollowfrost [ Junospower ] Meadowslip couldn't help the purr of laughter that left her as she wadded deeper into the water until the soft waves of water lapped at her own belly fur. She felt like she looked a wet rat herself now that she was standing in the middle on the water. Her gaze, however, didn't leave the tom as she allowed him to guide her deeper into the water until she actually had to paddled. "I'll probably look similar once we're out," Her tone was laced with amusement but she seemed more content and happy than uncomfortable. Meadowslip was always willing to step outside of her comfort zone, even when it came to something like swimming for the first time. "I think I'm doing it!" She expressed happily, starting to kick and paddle her way through the shallow water. Despite her paws still hitting the rocks below her, she was still technically swimming. However, she wasn't exactly kicking out properly, or in a way that would propel her through the water. Her paddle was pretty mediocre. |

(Well, goodnight just in case haha) -` gumi ´- .✫ 🐾“You’re definitely getting the hang of it! Just even out the stroke on your back legs a little bit. Just like you would if you’re walking, just longer strides,” he instructed, keeping his tail on her back as he guided her to swim in circles around him, giving her both an anchor and comfort. He had to admit, for a tree-climber, she was doing an impressive job! He knew she was much more comfortable in the trees and undergrowth, she had done better than any other SpruceClan cats frankly pitiful attempts to learn. If she kept up the same confidence, she’ll be a swimmer in no time. “Not bad for a tree-climber,” he teased. |
