An Encounter With A Pretty She-cat (Twineheart)

(Twineheart)

Cedarpaw stepped out of his den, tired after he finished sorting herbs. He laid down, tucking his legs under him and looked up at the sky. It looked as if it might rain soon, but the sun was poking out between two clouds. He yawned and closed his eyes, not sure what he was supposed to do now.

Tansypaw had been hunting all morning. Her hard work had paid off too, she now carried a squirrel and three mice in her small maw. It was all she could do to carry them, and as she entered Whisperclan camp dragging the squirrel she doesn't see the form of Cedarpaw laying down in the clearing. This causes the petite calico to trip over the tom, with a startled yelp of surprise. " Oh! S-sorry!" She stammers having dropped her prey when she fell. " I'm so s-sorry!" She repeats in her soft sweet tone. Quickly getting up off the tom, she scrambles to her paws her sky blue eyes round with an apologetic look. She realizes she'd fallen over the infamously grumpy Cedarpaw. Her black tipped ears flicker backwards some as she gapes at the tom, her feathery tail coming around to hug her delicate frame.

"Am I really that hard to see?" Cedarpaw snapped at the she-cat, his tail lashing in frustration. "Its not like I'm tiny or anything!" he growled, preferring to his rather large body. He sighed as he realized how surprised the she-cat looked.

"Okay, okay! I promise I'm not going to do anything that bad to you," he mewed with a small hint of annoyance still in his voice.

Tansypaw took several paw steps backwards as Cedarpaw snapped at her. Feeling her head lower some, like a dog being scolded. Her sky blue eyes staring at the large tom nervously, until he finally finished leaving her to say something. " No... n-not hard.... but y-you see I couldn't s-see over my s-squirrel." She stutters, nodding to the squirrel that lay on the ground now with her three mice. Then looking at him again at his last words, unsure if she was suppose to be grateful or something she gulps a little. " I'm really s-sorry Cedarpaw." She repeats, leaning down and picking up the squirrel she'd caught. She nudges it to the tom, " You c-can have this if you want. T-to make u-up for n-nearly squashing you." She adds in her soft shy tone. Her tail still hugging her delicate frame like some sort of shield. It was of course preposterous for her to think she'd nearly squashed him. She was less than half his size, but her mind was too nervous to think properly.

( Tansypaw is so cute!)

Cedarpaw immediately felt a little bit bad for snapping at the she-cat. He quickly calmed himself down and tries to be a little more friendly torward the nervous she-cat.

"It's okay," he finally managed to make himself say. He hated apologizing, and he was too proud to do it.

"You didn't almost squash me," he mewed, a bit amused, but also a bit annoyed. "Other cats need it more than me," he mewed simply, denying her offer.

( @heatherpaw Thank youz^^)

Tansypaw feels some relief spread over her at Cedarpaw's words. He seemed less mad at her now, less likely to do whatever it was he might of done before. Blinking her sky blue eyes at him she nods her head a little. " I s-suppose your right." She says softly, taking the squirrel back as she watches him. " but I'd s-still like to make it u-up to you..." She says shyly hoping it wouldn't anger him. " Maybe h-help you collect h-herbs or something?" She suggests her voice very quiet, sky blue eyes glittering in the sunshine as she spoke. " I mean..." She adds shuffling her paws and looking down. " W-whenever works for you, o-obviously." She finishes, her ears half perked half pressed back.

"You just got back from hunting, and you caught a lot. Don't you think you should take a break?" Cedarpaw mewed gently. "Besides, it's okay. You don't have to make anything up to me," He honestly wasn't upset that she had tripped over him, at least not anymore. Just having someone to talk to made him happy.

"If you can't tell, I'm not really doing anything now..." 

[Twineheart]

" W-well I suppose s-so." She says in her soft sweet voice. " B-but I really w-wouldn't mind helping you s-some time... I m-mean if you want." She adds, slowly resting her haunches on the ground as she watched the tom start to calm down. She feels her own muscles relax some, her tail loosening its grip around her body slightly. Her heart which had been rather fast with nerves slows some, her sky blue eyes still on the medicine cat apprentice. His momentary outburst seemed to of subsided and he almost looked like he could be friendly.

"That would be nice sometimes, but not now. You should just relax for now," Cedarpaw mewed. "I never really have anyone to gather herbs with or anything because nobody really likes me... but I guess it's my fault," he mewed. "I mean, lots of cats, especially younger cats, are scared of me."

(Sorry it took me so long to reply!)
