Minnowbird sat in the entrance of the medicine cat den, watching the camp activity with observant, emerald eyes. She watched as her kits went around, doing their apprentice duties. Minnowbird never felt so proud of them. Honeypaw came up to Minnowbird. "Minnowbird, can I ask you something?" She asked, a bit hesitant as she watched the great warrior carefully. She had heard of the stories of how she had once gone crazy. But before that, she was a kind warrior and now a mother. Now her kits are ready to become warriors. Honeypaw has never met a more humble apprenitce. Minnnowbird shifted her gold-tinted eyes toward Honeypaw. "How may I help you?" She asked kindly. Honeypaw, feeling more courageous went out straight. "Who does Lionpaw like?" She asked, eeling small once more. She has met Aspenbreeze, and had seen how Minnowbird and him got along so well. Minnowbird purred in amusement. "Honeypaw, I honestly don't know." She mewed. "Don't know what?" Asked Minnowbird's kit, Ashkit. Honeypaw and Minnowbird both glanced at him. "What?" He asked. they were so asorbed in their conversation that they didn't notice Lionpaw come up behind them.

Across the clearing a gray and white tom had just stepped through the reed entrance with a fairly large marsh rat dangling from his jaws. He slipped over to the fresh kill pile and dropped his kill. His eyes were downcast as he made his way over to a shady spot and settled down on the warm earth. His ears pricked curiosly as he saw his denmates discussing who liked who, and he blushed and looked away before he could even be adressed. Sootpaw was a very shy young tom, and usually stammered when talking to cats he didn't know very well. [/color]

Minnowbird's eyes were sharp, and saw Sootpaw sit down, all alone. "Why don't you come to join us, Sootpaw?" She asked in a calm, powerful voice. Honeypaw turned around, casting a startled glance in his direction. Ashpaw looked at his mother, then turned to look at Sootpaw. His gaze was sliently telling him to come or otherwise he would face his mother's "wrath".

Lionpaw walked up with his fur sticking out a little as if he had just finished training. "I believe I heard my name." He said standing alittle ways off from where everyone else stood. "Could I ask why?" 'I think I heard something about who did I like.' He thought to himself. 'That's a good question. I've never really put much thought into it. I've been so focused in training to be the best, I've blocked out everyone including my family.'

Sootpaw's averted gaze turned back to the cats, who had noticed him. He, the invisible, had been noticed. His eyes brightened a bit and he got to his paws, standing uncertainly. "Uh...uh...okay." He padded slowly over to the group but nearly flinched back when Honeypaw looked startled, but was reassured when Ashpaw seemed to becon him over. He stood beside the tom apprentice, looking at Minnowbird. "Thanks..." He meowed quietly to the warrior, managing to look her in the eye for a heartbeat before his stare wandered off.

Minnowbird nodded. "How are you?" She asked. Ashpaw looked at Sootpaw with a hesitant curiosity. "Hello." He meowed, being friendly. Honeypaw glanced at Linopaw, feeling her face flush with embarrassment. "you're right." She decided to stick to the truth. "Why so determined to train?" She asked, truly curious.

"Oh, um..." Lionpaw stuttered, not expecting that to be the question. "I've always wanted to be the best warrior in the whole forest." He said at last, when he gathered himself. "We need all the strong warriors we can get." He finished with his fierce determination returning to his voice.

Honeypaw nodded, then looked up at him in admiration, and something else. "That's great, and so true." She purred. "So....who do you like...?" She asked, hesitant. My, how fine he is. She thought dreamily.

Lionpaw gave a nod then stared at Honeypaw with a partial confused look. "Um...you." He said guessing that's what she wanted to hear, yet as he thought about it, he realized it to be a truthful answer. He had slowly been developing feelings for her, but he had pushed it away so he could focus on training.

Sootpaw watched the two, his eyes flitting back and forth between their faces as they spoke. Honeypaw looked like her head was in the clouds, and Lionpaw looked a bit fidgety. Ah, love. Spring was here, and cats would be falling in love. He almost made a face, but managed to keep his face straight when he realized that he wasn't alone, so it would be weird if he started pulling weird expressions off.
He looked at Minnowbird when she spoke, and he wondered if she had spoken to him. He decided to answer, whether it was directed at him or not. "Okay I guess...not really much to do around camp these days. Rippedstar never did assign me a mentor." Remembering to be polite, he added, "How about you? Medicine cat life working out well?" While he wasn't very social, he was good at picking up details and knowing who was who around Beachclan. [/color][/center]

Honeypaw looked at Lionpaw, a bit startled by his answer, but at the same time, so happy. "Wow." She breathed, purring slightly. Minnowbird purred in quiet amusement at the two apprentices. She turned around to answer Sootpaw's question. "I am sorry. Why don't you go talk to Rippedstar? And life for me, is boring right now. I mean, I enjoy it, but well...no one is getting hurt, although that is good, but...well, no excitement." She meowed.

Lionpaw nodded slightly with a small purr in his throat. "Do you, um, like me?" He asked walking closer to Honeypaw. 'I hope so, if not I've just made a fool of myself.' He thought as his eyes shined, awaiting for her answer.

Honeypaw purred. "Yes, I do like you. And to me, you'll never be a fool to me." She took a step closer to Lionpaw, forgetting that Sootpaw and Minnowbird were there.

Lionpaw's eyes widened at Honeypaw's answer. 'Can she read my thoughts?' He wondered as he gave her a lick between the ears. His eyes strayed over to Minnowbird and Sootpaw, his fur bristling in embarrasement.

OOC: Oops, I did not know I was reading a thought.
Minnowbird purred in amusement. "I think we should leave now." She whispered to Sootpaw. Honeypaw purred, licking Lionpaw's shoulder.
