[/color][/center] The large warrior entrance of their makeshift shelter and stared out at the rain falling in sheets. Without turning to look at her he meowed, "Try ruffling your fur backwards, it should help keep the cold out." [/b] He kept staring out into the rain as lightning shot across the sky and thunder crashed loudly. He could hear Fallingstar moving around behind him but didn't turn to look. He kept his yellow eyes fixed on the sky, like he was waiting for something.[/size][/color][/blockquote]

Fallingstar nodded, doing as she was told. You mouse-brain, now he thinks that you don't know how to keep yourself warm. Why did you have to pick that thing to comment on? she asked herself bitterly. Maybe you should just keep your jaws shut from now on. Let him strike the conversation so it doesn't go so badly as all the other ones. Fallingstar crouched into a tighter ball, her green eyes unsure of where to rest, and forced her mind to focus on the pattering of the rain in hopes that Cougarblaze would speak.

[/color][/center] The large warrior looked at the leader, his yellow gold eyes burning, she was curled up into a little ball, like a kit would. Seeing her like that he couldn't help but feel a pang, she looked so helpless here, not at all like the cat she showed herself to be at gatherings. He couldn't stand seeing her look so defenseless, he padded over to her and meowed softly in his deep voice, "Sit up, you're stronger than this. You look like you're ready to give up and die over some water. You are not a weak cat Fallingstar," [/b] When he said her name his mouth tingled. It was like, well he didn't know what it was like.[/size][/color][/blockquote]

Fallingstar felt her ears burn, and she straightened up, wishing she could tell him that she wasn't afraid of cold water, and that she swam in it all the time when the river wasn't flooded. Looks like even with your mouth shut you're still a master at making a fool of yourself. The cream-colored she-cat snarled at herself. Realizing she should respond to Cougarblaze, Fallingstar nodded numbly, unsure of what to say. It didn't cross her mind to rebuke him, even though she was no longer used to obeying orders. The she-cat glanced up at the LeafClan warrior, noticing with several quickened jumps of her heart that he had moved much closer. Another pawstep and their noses would touch. Fallingstar felt a few muscles tense involuntarily at that thought, inwardly clawing herself to shreds for letting her mind think that way. Yet at the same time she hoped that he wouldn't move farther from her side. Was that on purpose? What am I supposed to do now? she wondered helplessly.

[/color][/center] Cougarblaze was all too aware of how close he had come to the leader. He was so close that he could see her whiskers quivering in the dark. He wanted to move away from her but also wanted to stay close. He felt like if he walked away he would loose her. What is that supposed to mean? [/i] The voice in his head sneered, but he had no answer. He just knew that he wanted to be close to her, he knew it was wrong to feel that way, but he couldn't change how he felt.[/size][/color][/blockquote]

Fallingstar took a quiet breath, trying to calm herself, but only ended up inhaling more of Cougarblaze's scent, beneath the smell of freshly fallen rain and the old log. The silence was returning to the intolerable point, and the she-cat worked up the nerve to say, "How old is Shypaw now? Last time I heard of her, she still was a kit." I can't go too wrong with that, can I? Fallingstar hoped feverishly.

[/color][/center] The warrior faintly registered her question he answered it quietly still not moving away from her. "She and her sisters are seven moons old, still new apprentices." [/b] There was nothing else he could say on that topic so he stopped talking and kept staring into her green eyes. She really was a beautiful cat. He knew that was a very wrong thought, something he should never think, but he didn't care, it was the truth. He had isolated himself since Silverlake had died, avoided everyone, especially she~cats, but he couldn't deny that Fallingstar was beautiful.[/size][/color][/blockquote]

Fallingstar nodded, only half-listening to Cougarblaze's answer. She noticed the way his muscles rippled under his smooth, rain-slicked pelt, and gave up on beating herself up for thinking that way. Trying to continue the conversation, she asked, "Is she your first apprentice?" This is pitiful. she thought to herself soon afterward, wishing she could find something to talk about that didn't arouse such awkwardness. Yet this was a normal topic - so why did the air crackle with tension?

[/color][/center] "Yes," He answered, and then there was nothing else to say, what could you say? The silence grew until it was almost defeaning, the only sound was the rain falling and the river rushing. His heart was poudning to loudly he was amazed she couldn't hear it. He flicked his tail back and forth, trying to think of a way to break the silence. He was more a cat of action than words. He usually prefered silence but now, he felt like he was going to drown in it. [/color][/blockquote]
