"Got it hard time there?" Dustlight asked her tone slightly teasing at the other warrior and she let out a short laugh. "I never knew such a strongly built warrior was missing balance", she added her tone neutral since she didn't want her sayings to be taken wrong. It would've been wrong of her as a deputy to make the warrior of her Clan offended. Deciding to keep going, Dustlight continued padding forward at the same time enjoying the chattering of the birds in the distance of the tree tops.

Minnowcreek giggled awkwardly. "Hehe... Well, all warriors have weaknesses and as you were able to see, I don't have a good balance." The ginger tom followed her as they kept going, his head up in the air to try and see the birds. Yeah, it was a pretty good day. He glanced forward, so he would not fall on something and realized it was a good idea, he almost bumped into his deputy's butt. Phew. That was close. He slowed down to get back with Dustlight's pace and kept looking forward. Not doing the same mistake twice.

Dustlight kept on padding forward, her ears prickling time by time at different directions as she enjoyed silently the sounds of the birds and nature around her. "So... Did you have any specific place we would walk in or?" She asked after a while, breaking the silence. Also by her question, she slowed down and turned her head towards Minnowcreek, her other eyebrow lifting slightly as she gave him a questioning look. Did he just do something or why he looks so bothered? She wondered inside her head meanwhile she sat down for a while and let the tom to build up his answer.

Minnowcreek almost fell on his butt when the deputy turned toward him all of a sudden to talk. He wished secretly she didn't realized he almost bumped into her butt. A slight blush formed into his face at that moment but he quickly shook it off, sitting down next to Dustlight to answer.
"Not really. I just wanted to walk around our beautiful territory and hang out a little bit with you.", he told her.
He glanced away slightly and sighed.
"Actually, it has been a while since I wanted to... erm... Hang out with you. But you seemed so much out of reach for just a casual warrior like me that everytime I wanted to ask you, I was giving up.", he confessed. "I didn't had the guts to try and get close to the deputy. I would be interested in knowing you more, Dustlight.", he added, gazing at her and giving her a smile.

Dustlight's ears prickled while she listened Minnowcreek to speak. Staring the pale brown tabby tom, Dustlight tilted her head while Minnowcreek spoke his last words. "Well I am rather busy yes as a deputy but I still got some time to spare." Dustlight mewed after a short silence she hang on them after that Minnowcreek had finished his sentence. Having another pause, Dustlight's expression turned a bit bothered yet her tone didn't give anything else away than hint of sadness: "I'm afraid I am not made for... Ya know", trying to find how to put her words right, suddenly an imagine of Swiftstorm and then later Shellheart flashed through her mind and she turned her gaze away. She knew very well what Minnowcreek was after but she wasn't sure herself was she able to offer the same for him. Returning her gaze on the tom, she could see he was still having some kind of hopeful smile on his face and with a blink Dustlight let out a heavy sigh. "Problem is not in you, it is in me. I hold some bad secrets that barely anyone has came across..." She mewed her heart heavy by every word she spoke. What kind of deputy would have ever met up with MistClan cat and then later found another MistClan cat that switched Clans so they could be together? Duskflower, her mother, had never approved it. But you did it too! You met up with a rogue! Dustlight scolded Duskflower on her mind before she tilted her head on her other shoulder.
But both of the toms were gone now, long dead. She hadn't even given it a thought to get to know better in other toms of her Clan. Sure there was Tigerflight that had seemed somewhat interesting but that spark died too long time ago when he passed away.

( Dustlight isn't going to die riiiight? D: )
Minnowcreek listened to Featherclan's deputy well, the smile didn't faded away from his lips. He slowly got closer to the she-cat, not that close to not invade her personal space but enough to show he was there for her, his smile to confort her.
"I don't know what you've been through, Dustlight and I'm sure it wasn't nice. I understand why you're hesitant, but you don't have to be anymore. I'm there for you.", he mewed, putting his tail tip on the deputy's shoulder. "I wouldn't mind you putting your bad secrets on me, on my shoulders, for you, I wouldn't mind at all. Because I care for you, alot. Right now, I just want to hold you high and still your pain away. If I could, I would do anything. Even if it costs me my life, just to numb your pain...", he added, looking serious with each words he spoke.

(She's gonna be the last cat I am going to kill off but she is gonna get new life in LUtT ;w; But she's still in TsC for a while as I said, she's the last cat I would be killing off as she's the dearest for me)

Slightly shivering by the touch of his tail tip, Dustlight lifted her green gaze on Minnowcreek and held it for a while before she dropped it. "It is honestly no worth of any deputy, I am even surprised of my position", she mewed showing no signs of holding back what she was saying. "I mean no worth... It is just what I have done has not been worth of my position." She added and glanced up in the sky her head tilting slightly in wonder. So much had happened ever since she had been named as warrior and now that she was deputy, it has been a huge step forward from her. She had some dreams of leading FeatherClan one day but she felt slightly hesitating towards the thought. "...If you so badly need to know I have some history with two warriors not from FeatherClan. Or one of them joined later but I don't know do you even remember him being around... I guess that's all you need to know." Dustlight mewed after another short of silence.

(Ooooh I'm glad she's not gonna get killed off soon~)

Minnowcreek smiled at her as she spoke. Personally, he thought she was a great deputy. 
"You're a great deputy, Dustlight.", the tom assured her. He listened to every words she said before sighing, content, the smile still stuck on his face.
He glanced back at her, putting his amber gaze in her green one and let out a small sigh once again. "You know, you are not obligated to leave the details. I am willing to hear the whole story. If it needs to be said then it will be said. I am all ears for you.", he told the she-cat before laying down, his tail tip leaving Dustlight's shoulder. He kept his gaze on her, seriously wanting to know what she had on her heart and wanting to help her so bad.

Dustlight glanced down at the tom, feeling suddenly a bit higher on her position than she should feel. Glancing away, she wondered whether to give it a shot or not. "...Do you promise not to tell anyone if I do tell you?" the she-cat asked after couple heartbeats of silence before she broke it. By her question she turned her gaze towards the direction where MistClan's border located. She had high will to go and dip her paws onto the water, just run and probably get herself drown. But then again, Swiftstorm had taught her how to swim and she didn't know would she really go in for suicide. "It has been so long..."

Minnowcreek nodded but she didn't seemed to see him nod so instead, he instantly placed a paw on her, putting his gaze on hers and smiling.
"I promise I won't tell anyone, your secret is safe with me.", he promised her. He was honest and calm. Putting his paw away, back to where it was supposed to, the ginger tom tucked his paws under his chest to listen to his deputy's story. Finally he could know her better and could know the reason why he felt so much sadness coming from her beautiful green eyes.

Surprised by his touch, Dustlight glanced down at him and with a blink her gaze turned from hint of sadness to confident. "Follow me then", she mewed and waiting the tom to get up, Dustlight began to lead them towards the MistClan's side of their territory. As they came closer, Dustlight could her how the river had broke completely free, the river that marked the border between MistClan and FeatherClan. As they were there, Dustlight padded up to the shore, her gaze hard on the other side of the other territory. "This is... Rather important place for me for some reason", the she-cat started, her eyes moving down from MistClan to the river. Without hesitation she put her other paw into the semi-chilly water and then another. Starting to walk, she was soon in the middle of the river, feeling how the water level was reaching halfway of her sides. Turning to glance at the tom on the shore, she asked: "What are you thinking?"

Minnowcreek stood up and followed Dustlight to Mistclan and Featherclan's border, keeping quiet as they moved. As they reached the river, Minnowcreek sat down, nodding as the deputy told him it was an important place for her. He was very surprised though when she nearly jumped in. He gasped, his eyes widening from the shock, his mouth completely open as well. He thought about following after a few seconds, retuning to reality, but when he just touched the water... A shiver was sent down his spine and he jumped, completely forgetting about this crazy idea of his. "How are you doing this?", he finally asked.

Dustlight blinked, her gaze cool and calm. "A... Special friend of mine taught me this." She replied before she turned her gaze back to the MistClan's side. "As well as he taught me this", cutting her sentence short, Dustlight took a deep breath and leaped side ways underneath the chilly surface of the water. Everything turned silent for a moment, only the gentle flow of the river echoing inside her ears. Keeping her eyes closed, Dustlight suddenly dared to open them. Trying hard to keep her mouth shut so no air would escape, the world seemed so different underneath the surface. It seemed more rough than living on a land but the shining ripples that the water was reflecting underneath the water... They were beautiful.
Suddenly something caught up with Dustlight's throat and she had to force herself to return back to the surface. Breaking free from the underwater, she took a deep breath in, filling in her lungs again with fresh air.

Minnowcreek gasped as Dustlight disappeared underwater. He didn't understand why she did this. "Is she trying to kill herself?!" The tom started to panic. If that was the case? If she had so much on her shoulders she didn't wanted to bear with it anymore? If she found an escape in him to walk in the river and just jump underwater to drown? He glanced around, panic in his eyes, searching in the horizon for a glimpse of a Featherclan cat around. He smelled up though he caught no scent of anything except preys. That wasn't going to help him. Then he glanced on the other side of the river. "A Mistclan cat to save a drowning cat of course." but he wasn't able to see nor to smell any other clan cats from there. The scent of Mistclan was just everywhere. He had only one choice; To jump in. He took a deep breathe and was going to jump when the head of Dustlight popped out of the water, stopping him. He sighed of relief, a worrying look across his face. "Dustlight for Starclan's sake, don't worry me like that again!", he exclaimed, all the worry in his voice showing up.

Dustlight turned around to face Minnowcreek and feeling how a drop was making its way from her forehead to her muzzle, she shook most of the drops away and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It surely felt refreshing! She thought inside her mind as she kinda was half guessing that if she did say that aloud, Minnowcreek would have clawed her ears off in the worst case. Making her way back to the shore, the deputy heaved herself first on her fore paws and then fully on the shore. Feeling her fur heavy by the water, she turned towards Minnowcreek, her eyes glowing by playfullness. "He taught me that and I taught him how to climb trees~" Her tone was unusual happy and cheery, alike Dustlight would have returned back to the nursery again. Sitting down, she stretched her other hind leg forwards and began to dry it with swift licks between her toes and paws pads going then carefully through one by one.

Minnowcreek was still shocked by what just happened, following Dustlight with his gaze as she came back to the shore next to him, he glared at her, not being able to say a word. But his face soon changed when he saw that happy, playful and cheery gaze Dustlight gave him. It was like she was reborn and the ginger tom couldn't but smile at how it warmed his heart to see her like that. He sat down and gave her an amused look. Then, an idea struck into his mind "Teach me.", he told her. "I want a good challenge and it seems like one, teach me how to swim, Dustlight.", he added, instantly standing up from excitement, his tail swashing along happily. His shock from before seemed long gone, his surprised gaze was replaced by the excitement and determination this idea of a new challenge gave him.

Leaving her last toe without the finishing lick, Dustlight lifted her gaze up at the tom, her ears prickling by surprise. "FeatherClan cats don't swim", she mewed trying to sound serious but she knew she had been doing this all along. Placing her hind leg back to the ground, she tilted her head slightly giving it a though. "But you'd like to learn how to swim?" She asked as she rose back on her paws. "I don't know how it is being taught but... He told me it is alike running. So I guess that is all I can tell you", the she-cat mewed, slightly feeling her cheeks warming up by the memory of having her teaching season with Swiftstorm. You never stopped amusing me, I miss you so much ever since you stopped seeing me. And then came Shellheart and he made my world to turn all around, her gaze determined, Dustlight returned back to the river, this time once she had gone wet it was no problem for her to go back to the water without much of hesitating.

Umbreiia-Eryaa In reply to CuteFlare [2015-03-12 09:55:36 +0000 UTC]

Minnowcreek nodded, determinate. "Running? I guess I will try.", he said following her as they approached the water once again. He started to be hesitant when Dustlight entered water but remembering that he could save a life if needed in any case, he slowly entered the water. He gasped, not used to the touch of that amount of water against his body but kept walking until he reached Dustlight's side. His eyes showed that it was cold and not really confortable for him but he didn't complain. "I will start by getting used to the water's touch before trying anything with swimming.", he told the deputy. He bent down to wet his body even more, a big shiver was sent down his spine but he shook it off. He was going to make it. Then, immitating Dustlight, he completely plunged his head underwater but he didn't stayed as long as her. His head almost immediately popped out from the water, his entire self being wet by now. He didn't had the time to hear the sound from down below, his only goal being to wet himself entirely. He reached his goal. The ginger tom gazed at Dustlight and laughed awkwardly. "It sure is not pretty for now.", he laughed.

Dustlight couldn't help but have amused look on her face and turning her gaze towards MistClan keeping her senses open for any nearing patrols, Dustlight returned her gaze back to Minnowcreek and nodded. "If you're completely ready then, lets do it", with that Dustlight began to walk deeper more forwards the deeper areas of the river. With careful steps, Dustlight went deeper until she was forced to use her fore and hind paws to keep her above the surface. "One paw at time", she mewed while she was trying to get used to the feeling again. "Pull with your front paws and then keep kicking with hind paws. It should come by nature!"

Minnowcreek gasped but followed Dustlight. "I never said I was ready but let's do it!..I guess.", he mewed. A few seconds later he was walking into the nothingness, trying to keep his head out of the water. "Woah!", he let out.  Trying to follow Dustlight's instructions, the tom tried to swim but quickly his head disappeared into the water. He made his way to the place where he could stand in the water without having to swim to be safe and tried again. He did the same thing over and over again six times before he was finally able to swim around Dustlight. "Hey-hey! Look at me! It worked! finally!", he cheered, letting out screams of happiness there and there, proud of himself. He grinned and chuckled. "I bet you thought I would fail!", he added but it was obviously a joke.

Dustlight couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and smirk. "Well I never believed I could learn how to swim, sooo..." She mewed and with that she glanced at the shore. "Would you like to return and dry down or would you still like to do some more swimming?" She asked, her toes starting to feel numb by standing on the cool water while the stones underneath the surface were no warmer. Although she didn't show she was starting to feel cold by the water, Dustlight instead decided to dip her muzzle underneath the surface and took it back again as a chilly feeling ran through it and she couldn't help but sneeze. "Oh wow, water surely got some magical effect", she mewed with slight laughter by her sneeze.

Minnowcreek swam a little bit more around her. He was starting to get cold and as he was about to laugh at her sneezing, he sneezed too. "Well I can't laugh, can't I?", he chuckled before making slowly his way back to the shore. "Let's get out and dry down, shall we?", he mewed. His paws reached the ground quickly and he slowly get out from the river. After all that time trying to swim and now finally being able to, it was weird for the ginger tom to have to walk once again but he was glad he was back on dry grounds. He shook the water off from his fur, safely doing it without throwing water drops on Dustlight, and laid down, sighing of happiness as he did so. "That was pretty fun, thank you Dustlight.", he purred, giving the she-cat a beautiful smile.

Dustlight followed Minnowcreek to the shore, feeling hint of relief as the sun of the day was shining down on her fur, warming it up bit by bit. Sitting down, she began to dry herself off again and before she could get started, she heard Minnowcreek's words and by that she turned to glance over to him. "Your welcome." She replied before she returned back to her toes, cleaning each of them one by one. This was starting to get familiar for her. Hanging the silence upon them for until she was done with both of her hind legs, Dustlight decided to break the silence: "Swiftstorm, a warrior of MistClan... He taught me how to swim", she mewed while she lifted up her other front paw and began to wash it on its turn.

Minnowcreek began to groom himself too, starting with his shoulder, then his ears, his paws before he heard Dustlight's voice. "Is he your mate?", he asked before he continued to wash himself. He lifted one of his hind leg to wash it then took the other. He laid down again, the sun against warming his back making purr of happiness. It was sure an awesome feeling when you just got out from the water to feel something warm against your pelt. Enjoying the sunbath he had, he glanced at his deputy to listen to what she would say afterwards.

Dustlight's eyes narrowed slightly by sadness but her voice was steady when she replied: "He is long dead. Sure I wished there would have been something between us but he later found a mate from his own Clan. Good for him." Having a short pause, Dustlight wondered should she say some more or no. But Minnowcreek had promised he would keep her secret, now would he? Maybe it was good time for him to get the reward: "But before that we met couple of times. It was Leaf bare when we met for the first time, few moons after I had been named as warrior. We met by this river. He probably was one of the most slender toms I have ever seen in my life." Giving Minnowcreek some time to take in what she had said, Dustlight turned her gaze towards him before continuing: "Oh that fur, glowing in the moonlight... I guess that is what made me interested in him. He was also funny and very open cat." Dustlight couldn't help but blush by the memory: oh those moonlight races they had, that accidental nose touches when he tried to teach her how to swim...

Minnowcreek listened and was surprised that the deputy had a love interest before. Even more when he remembered he wasfrom Mistclan. Surely after what happened, Dustlight would have no interest in him. His smile turned into a sad one as he stayed quiet for a the time being. His thoughts wondered somewhere as he tried to realize he had no chance with the she-cat. Weither she had no love interest in him because he was just not interesting, or friend-zone, or she wasn't ready because she still haven't moved on from Swiftstorm. Either way, Minnowcreek loose. Sighing slightly, he shook his thoughts off for now and gave his attention back to Dustlight. "How did you fell in love with him even if he was a Mistclan cat?", he asked.

Taking few thoughts for his question, Dustlight tilted her head in wonder. "I don't know for sure", she confessed. "I have always been... What could you say... I am ready to go beyond Warrior code as long as I feel it is right. Sure forbidden love is not but eh..." Dustlight shook her head for a moment and then turned her gaze back to the MistClan's side of the river. "As I said, he got mate and kits and he died few seasons ago. His mate was deputy at that time and later became leader, Dewstar. She now is not the leader anymore though... But still", Dustlight gave another short silence before she could find her words again to continue: "Never the less, when we stopped meeting, I once spotted him though during one day when I was just...Well... Okay I was not passing by, I was there on purpose, in hope to see him again. But then he had a friend with him, Shellheart." The memory switching from white-and-black tom to grayish brown tabby one, Dustlight tilted her head on her other side and let out a short sigh. "He... had something in him too. And instantly he switched Clans, for me... Shellheart tried his best to fit in FeatherClan."

Minnowcreek listened once again, glad she was confessing what she had in her heart to him. He was a good listener and the whole time she was speaking, he had his eyes on her. The way she was talking, the way she was acting... Everything from her was attracting for the ginger tom. He was a bit surprised when she talked about Shellheart. He was't expecting another tom to come in. "How lucky these toms were.", he thought. He remembered a cat having that name that switched clans. Apart from that, he knew nothing from that tom. "Who is that Shellheart?", he asked.

"Former MistClaner, but he was around in FeatherClan for a while. He brownish gray tabby tom with blue eyes. He was funny and relaxed", Dustlight explained to Minnowcreek while she was briefly enjoying the heart-warming memory of her ex-mate who never really cared that he wasn't exactly a number one warrior among FeatherClaners. "He died around the same times as Swiftstorm, I believe", tilting her head, Dustlight nodded after a while to confirm what she said was true. "So around few seasons ago."

Minnowcreek nodded. He sure didn't remembered seeing that tom around since a while. He didn't know he had died though. He was sure someone important for Dustlight, judging it by the look on her face. "I don't stand a chance.", he thought again. His face became darker at that thought for a moment but, once again, he shook these thoughts off. His face brighten up even though he wasn't all that okay inside. He giggled a little, knowing what to reply at that time. "Any other tom for my great deputy?", he joked. "Seriously, do you have someone in sight right now?", he asked, slightly gazing away as he asked.

Glancing at Minnowcreek in surprise, Dustlight held her gaze on him for a while before she turned her own gaze on the river. Keeping up some silence for a while and after a while she let out a sigh: "I don't think I have been made for love..." The deputy couldn't help but feel her voice crack at the end of her sentence but she built herself quickly up again. "Not by the eyes of StarClan. It just seems alike I am being punished whatever I do... Besides seeing my half-brother happy with Fallpetal makes me happy. To know those two are sharing a special bond... But me", turning her gaze back to the tom again, she continued: "I don't think StarClan has made me fit for love-life."

Minnowcreek gulped. He felt bad that he made her feel sad. He quickly tried to think of a way to cheer her up but at that time he had none.
"Err... It must not be easy for you... Sorry about that.", he mewed. The ginger tom was stil thinking. "C'mon Minnowcreek, think! Find a way to clean up your mess!", he thought. Something popped on his mind and he thought it was something he could say. "Well... I think everyone has someone they are meant to share their lives with. Starclan isn't bad enough to leave a single cat alone and leave them feel sad for the rest of your life. I bet you will find someone. Hey, you're a beautiful she-cat. Inside and outside.

Listening him to say what he got to say, Dustlight blinked and then tilted her head slightly on the other side. "I assume so then..." She mewed and dipped her head to the warrior after a while as some kind of silent thank you. "Hmm... Maybe we should return back to camp or do you still have something on mind?" Dustlight asked after a short silence as she lifted up her gaze at the sky. It was soon sunset, not too far away from it but it wasn't the nearest either. "It is not really that late if you still wish to do something", she commented after she had given few scans for the sky above their heads.

Minnowcreek dipped his head as well but to say 'no problem'. He pondered on Dustlight's ideas and thought he wasn't ready to go yet. "Maybe we could hunt a bit?", he proposed. "Are you done telling me what you had to say though?", he added quickly after. The ginger tom stood up and shook his fur from the dust. He glanced at his deputy and waited for a reply, his amber gaze meeting her green one once again.

This time not really escaping from his amber gaze, Dustlight wondered for a while before she opened up her mouth but shut it once again as to consider twice what to say. "I am half-Clan cat. Or not full FeatherClan." She mewed before she rose from her sitting position on her all four paws and began to head towards the forest, away from the river. "Or I don't know am I half-Clan or completely pure... It is a bit hazy line in between." She added as she began to walk forwards, this time her gaze firmly forward. "And related to Shellheart and Swiftstorm, I sure miss them. But life goes on, I suppose..." She also added quickly before letting Minnowcreek to say anything. "They're in better place now."

Minnowcreek listened again, surprised about the fact she was probably an half-clan cat but he didn't opened his mouth to add anything. It wasn't her fault and he wasn't one to judge half-clan cats. Even more his deputy. When she skipped onto the other two toms she spoke about before, the ginger tom partially listened, not completely. It saddened him to think about how they got a chance with her while he don't and never will have one. "Yeah, surely.", is the only thing he mewed after Dustlight was done speaking. "Starclan is a safe place, they don't suffer anymore and they have eternal happiness. You can be sure about it.", he added after a few seconds in between his words.

Dustlight nodded before another familiar face came up on her mind. "...There sure was one FeatherClan warrior, too. But he died seasons ago, I never got to get to know him. He seemed interesting but oh well... Chances are surely missed at some point when you don't use them." Dustlight mewed as the memory came more clear to her. Thinking whether to continue or not, she decided to go for it anyway: "He was alike pale brown tabby, nearly alike you. But he was more quiet I think yet he seemed to have skills of player... Don't know. As I said I never really took chance to get to know him."

Minnowcreek tilted his head on a side, a curious look on his face. "Huh? Alike me? What was his name?", he asked, his curiosity showing up. He didn't know why but, even though it was just because of this tom's appearance, his heart accelerated. Alike you These words were echoing in his mind over and over again. He was sure she meant nothing like that but, hearing this kinda made his heart melt. He was well aware that she meants his appearance but he couldn't but smile stupidly at her.

"Tigerflight, if I remember right", Dustlight mewed and let out a short sigh. "He was rather muscular by the looks of it. I never really had nothing much to do with him apart from one hunting trip and after that he was on his own ways. He died, as I said, a while ago." she explained, her voice remaining calm although she had no reason to flame up. But one thing that was frustrating on Tigerflight was his way to slip away from what he had to do. That was probably the thing Dustlight ever really wanted much to do with him although he had interesting looks.

"Oh I do remember him quite well now that you mentionned him.", Minnowcreek mewed. "He was quite the flirt and one to try and escape his duties.", he added. The ginger tom never really liked him but, at the same time, never really approached him in anyway. But, being the good observer he was, he had concluded it was best to stay away from him. It wasn't the type he liked for a friend. "But I see why you had an interest in him. He had a beautiful pelt.", he admitted. A question struck in his mind and he had no choice but to ask. It wasn't really related in any way to Tigerflight but she did mentionned he looked like him. "Annnd what do you think of me, if I may ask?"

Dustlight was taken off by his next question and with hint of blush by embarrassment, she tried to figure out what to say. "Well...erm... You are rather nice." She mewed as she figured out something nice to cover up. "But yeah... I don't know you well enough to make proper opinion about you. Or I do! But... You know..." being suddenly flattered by the sudden question Dustlight had to sit down for a moment and with couple of licks on her fore paw she drew her paw over her face over and over again just to get over such embarrassing situation.

Minnowcreek was surprised by her reaction because she looked so embarassed by his question. He giggled to her reaction and wondered if she was alright. He stood up and went closer to her, at 10 centimeters from her face, looking a bit worried about her. "Are you alright? Hey you're all red, do you want me to bring you to the medicine cat?", he asked though he knew it was just because she was blushing. He just wanted to tease her a little bit and see how she would react with him being so close to her face.

Nearly automatically, Dustlight tried to duck her face away from his and his golden amber gaze suddenly became quite heating at her. "I believe I need another swim to cool down, thank you", she mewed trying to be as straight as possible or otherwise her response would have been high pitched squeal. With that she rose on her paws again and began to walk forward. "Where would you like to hunt then?" she asked, hoping Minnowcreek to get over what he had just seen quick enough.

Satisfied with what he just saw, Minnowcreek got back on his paws, keeping a fair distance from Dustlight and purred in satisfaction. 
"Enough swimming for today.", the ginger tom chuckled. He followed her and thought for a moment.
"Well I will follow you.", he answered not really able to make a decision alone, no precise place coming to his mind at that moment. 
He didn't wanted to waste time thinking about what to do and where to go, he wanted to enjoy the time he had with Dustlight the more he could since he didn't know when and if he would have that opportunity again. So, instead, of being stupid, he made a great decision in leaving the choice to his deputy.

"Hmm..." briefly disappointed, yet not showing it, to how Minnowcreek couldn't do a decission, Dustlight thought for a moment. I may as well pick a wonderful spot then... She didn't really have any idea either by herself where they would go and hunt at. Trying to figure out where she had lately sent hunting patrols, suddenly a chattering of a bird caught her attention and halting, Dustlight glanced at the branch above their heads. Staring at the bird for a while, it was sparrow. Suddenly an idea and some kind of playful smirk slowly appeared on Dustlight's face and without a warning, she crouched down and on a next moment sprang in the air at the branch where the bird was. Opening up her jaws, she grabbed the sparrow by the neck before it could react what was going on and on a next heartbeat she was on the ground again, the dead prey in between her jaws.

Minnowcreek waited for an answer and, for a moment, doubted that Dustlight at a idea where to go. Just like him then. He heard a bird chattering and his ear twitched. Before he could say or do anything, the deputy was already crouching down and aiming at it. The ginger tom watched carefully as the she-cat sprang in the air and caught the bird, which was a sparrow. When she got back on solid ground, Minnowcreek let out a victory meow. "Woah! That was amazing!", he purred then realized what he said and calmed down a bit. "You were amazing.", he corrected.

"Thank you~" Dustlight couldn't help but feel hint of glow by his praise. She had caught him off the guard, just alike he planned! And he said he wanted to get more known to her? Well he probably will get what he was offering for. "There, first prey of this patrol, if we can call this even as one", the she-cat mewed while she made a hole where to hide her catch. Once she was done, Dustlight dropped the sparrow and with that put some bare ground on top of it so no badger or fox would find it. "FeatherClan cats are known by their strong feet so... Yeah I have practised some." She mewed after she was done burying the bird.

Minnowcreek purred. "No problem~" She sure caught him off guard when she jumped like that, not expecting her to go for it and try to catch the bird but it was sure an awesome sight to see the deputy in action. The tom nodded, he knew that Featherclan cats were good at climbing trees, he was himself able to but the agility she had was incredible. To go and to jump in a tree to catch a prey, that she-cat sure deserved her place as a deputy for her hunting skill were one the best he'd ever seen. "Where are we heading next then?", he asked, a purr rumbling out of his throat as he spoke.

"Wherever. I am honestly not sure where we could go and hunt... My mind is blank for that", Dustlight confessed and with a sigh she tried to think about something although she was for some reason not sad about the fact she didn't have any idea where they would hunt or so. "We probably would try and look around randomly." She suggested as she glanced at the tom, finally daring to take her head off from the batch where she had hid the bird. "As I said, I have no clue for any specific place to go into." Noticing how all hyped Minnowcreek still seemed to be what she had just done, another idea went through her mind but for that... Maybe I should wait... she thought as she kept her gaze on the tom, waiting what he got to say.

"Yeah then let's go this way.", he replied, pointing at a random direction with his tail and starting to lead the way. He seemed quiet but after a few seconds he found out a subject to talk about. "So what do you like in a tom?", he asked, being the first thing that came into his mind. Maybe he could help her in finding someone for her if it can't be him. He wanted her to be happy so he would do whatever he can to make it happen. After all, he told her he wanted to steal her pain away. Better work for it to happen since it won't happen if he was doing nothing.
