Rosehaze always liked to keep his eyes roaming about when he conversed; it wasn't often he kept direct eye-contact with a cat he spoke to. His gaze soon returned to the earth around him though still held that distant look they often did when since the tom was almost always in his own universe. But one thing he often seemed to notice were things others didn't at first. So when a grey she-cat moved, his eyes were caught by the sudden movement, especially since the grey of her pelt stuck-out against the darker background of foliage.
He looked after her curiously and wondered exactly where the she-cat was wandering off to. He then remembered that she had been talking to Whitetalon before he had walked out of the warrior's den; he felt a little bad that she was wandering off. She seemed to have a nice appearance. So, with light steps, Rosehaze turned away from Whitetalone and trotted along towards the grey she-cat, tail held up in a friendly manner.
"Why is it the pretty she-cat is walking away?" he asked curiously in a rather cute way, too. His voice held pure curiousity, like a kit asking its mother a simple, innocent question. The tortoishell tom never was one to try and flirt with the she-cats--he didn't have the attention span for it. But he didn't like to see others appearing as anything but happy and this she-cat currently did not appear very happy.

Ashtails eyes were almost closed, she was quite tired for some odd reason. A good cat nap could help! She looked straight at a nice bed that she could just slide under, instead of actually sleeping on top. She preferred that, it was like her mothers warm body on her while she was against mother nature, sleeping beside it.
Her large tail was slowly hanging, making sure not to touch the ground. It is always a pain to groom her tail, since it was so big and all. That was the most painful part.. Ashtail didn't mind cleaning her pelt, it was just her tail! Ugh, the tail... Wish it was smaller. At least it helped on some occasions, like tripping a warrior.. But that just hurt her tail also!
Forgetting about her tail, Ashtail turned toward the voice that spoke.. Please StarClan don't let it be that tom... She prayed, really hoping it wasn't. Before taking another step, she turned her head then her green gaze landed on the tom.. Wait, did he just call her pretty? And a tom did! Noo, no.. I need to flee! She thought in panic on what to say.. Why was it so difficult to say words to toms? "Um.. Err.." What was she suppose to say! What for StarClan sake? "I am not pretty!" She said, her face flushing. Wait... When did that come out of her mouth? Ashtail stared at him, with her mouth opened and completely embarrassed. She closed her eyes, then quickly dashed into the Warriors Den, rushing past him. No! Ashtail tripped on her tail for a moment, and bumped into Rosehaze for a second, touching his pelt. Worst thing for a shy cat afraid of toms to do. She blushed even more, and continued running. Quickly, she slide straight under a nest! Her tail was clearly out, not being able to be covered. She stayed under the moss, completely embarrassed on what happened.
And now we wait for Bear. c:

The solid white she-cat, though smiling kindly in appearance, was fuming underneath. How could she have possibly forgotten about her mud covered pelt while talking to a tom!? WhiteTalon flicked her forepaws, desperately trying to dislodge some of the clotted mud, but only managed to fling it in all directions.
Hissing in irritation, WhiteTalon dismissed AshTail as the gray warrior padded off. All she cared about right now was making herself look and feel beautiful again. "Stupid mud! The one thing I hate about hunting is how disgustingly dirty you get. OH! It's so hard to get off", she mewed in anger, her mud speckled tail lashing as she licked her darkened paws.
WhiteTalon was now so consumed in cleaning herself that she paid no heed to either RoseHaze or AshTail, leaving them to wonder in their own worlds as she delved into her's.

Rosehaze looked after Ashtail in a curious manner, not even realizing she had bumped into him. What in StarClan's name was that she-cat doing, hiding under the moss like that? He wondered exactly why she was so scared. Did he say something wrong? He twitched his tail and took a few steps into the den before glancing to the side and frowning to himself: he noticed that the leaf he had spotted from before was out of place again. He pushed it back with his paw before remembering Ashtail had run in here. Right. Maybe he should try talking to her.
He took a few pawsteps inside before hesitating, his mind suddenly wandering off. He wondered for a moment what Whitetalon was doing and if the she-cat perhaps would have cleaned the mud off her fur. Not that Rosehaze minded but the mud had been so...dirty on such a pure pelt. For a moment the tom almost forgot once more why he had come in the warrior's den again, but when his amber eyes settled on a tail sticking out of a buldging pile of moss.
He found himself overcome with a sudden need to pounce, his mind flashing back to his kithood. Smiling mischeviously, he dropped into a crouch, tail low to the ground, eyes focused intently on that tail. Then, without warning, the tortie male sprang and came down with both his paws to hopefully land upon his target of a tail. He kept his claws sheathed, of course, so he wouldn't cause any harm to whomever's tail it was.

Ashtail lay embarrassed under the pile of moss.. No tom called her pretty! Nor talked to her since most cats know how shy she is towards tom! Oh StarClan! She thought in her mind while her face was still flushing rapidly. Oh why was everything so embarrassing? Maybe if she just quietly snuck out to get some fresh air? Yeah, some fresh air in her pelt would be nice!
Ashtail motioned to move, but heard footsteps.. She put her ears close to the earth, wondering if the Warrior was walking out or in.. It seemed like the Warrior as coming. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on the paw-steps.. Wait.. No it was that tom! Why couldn't he leave her alone.. She was already pitiful enough, was he really going to torture her now? Ashtail let a little cry out as she thought about being left with him alone in the Warriors Den.
Ashtail laid there, wondering what he was going to do.. She was scared if he just suddenly swiped the moss away and grabbed her.. Noo that wouldn't happen. Ashtail waited and waited.. Then she felt.. Something.. Someone grabbed her tail! "Nooo!" Ashtail let out a large cry as she quickly ran forward... Plummeting straight into another moss nest.... She let out a few pitiful cries, then turned around under the moss. Her face was in the direction of the tom, but she didn't show her face. Her nose poked out of the moss a little, but she didn't notice.
(Sorry this fails. >w<)

Rosehaze stumbled back in surprise and looked with wide eyes as Ashtail darted from one nest and underneath another. He stood where he was with his tail tip flicking from side to side and frowned, his head tilting just slightly to the side. Why was it this she-cat kept hiding? Were they supposed to be playing hide-and-seek? His eyes turned to the moss nest that Ashtail had just been hiding beneath and he began to push the moss back into a pile since it had been misplaced from Ashtail hiding beneath it.
Once it was nice and neat once more, the tom returned his gaze to the current location of the she-cat and swished his tail back and forth. He took another step towards her but then stopped. Hmm....Perhaps she kept running away...because she didn't want to talk? Or she might just be shy. Perhaps shy.
Rosehaze gave a small smile. "If you do not want to talk...that is fine," he said simply. He twitched his whiskers and turned around, about to leave the den, but then turned back to Ashtail, effectively having turned in a full circle. "If you do...I will be in the camp." He then turned around once more and padded out of the den to leave the she-cat be. There; perhaps she'd have the courage to talk to him if he didn't try talking to her first.

Ashtail moved a some moss, trying to see the tom.. He actually looked quite handsome.. Most toms do as she thinks.. Ashtail is just not confident, she always calls everyone beautiful or handsome beside her self.. She stared at him, her green eyes full of curiosity. Why was he still trying to interact with her? Most cats just give up right when she flees... Ashtail was very curious and confused, No tom ever tried after I ran.. She thought sadly.
Ashtail perked her head up from the moss, finally showing her face towards him. This time, she forgot her little tom problem, and just stared at him. Studied him for a moment.. But then she stuck her head right back under the moss. Ashtail stared at him as he gave her a smile. No.. It wasn't like she wanted to talk, she really does.. It is just.. Hard. She watched him turn in a circle, odd. But kinda funny, a slight smile had curled from her lip, and Ashtail tried her best to hide it. As he left, Ashtail stared at him.. He said he was going to be in the camp right? She questioned herself, fully knowing the answer actually.
Finally actually getting up from all the moss, she quickly shook it all off. Yet a tad laid on her head without her knowing.. Ashtail stared at herself, making sure her pelt was clean at least. Her first talk with a tom, Ashtail wanted to look nice at least! Satisfyed about her pelt, but having no idea some moss lay on her head, she got up. Carefully walking out of the den with her head a tad down. Ashtail walked shyly towards him, trying to avoid eye contact. He made the effort to actually go after her when she fled, the least that Ashtail could do was say 'Hi.' Yeah, easier said than done. Huge problems with talking and toms! Her worse situation. But, it might help her problem of being shy.. Ashtail faced him, but was a little far. Giving him a little glance, then stared straight back at the ground, "H-H-... Hi..." She softly stuttered to him. Her face flushed rapidly.. When did she start stuttering! She never stutters? Why now. Strange. [/font] |

When Rosehaze came back out into the camp, his attention this time was caught by a few brightly-colored flowers blooming on the edge of camp. He was crouched by next to them, sniffing them, inhaling their sweet fragrance. It was calm and reminded him of his kithood in the nursery. What he remembered most from being a kit was always being dragged back to the nursery by either his mother or another warrior of the Clan when he had wandered too far from his mother's careful watch.
He turned an ear to the side as he heard pawsteps coming in his direction but soon enough went back to the flowers. But then he could scent a cat somewhat close to him; not directly at his side but close enough that perhaps they had stopped to see him rather than some other cat that might have been nearby. Before he would lose focus on bothering to see who it was, Rosehaze lifted his head and turned his green eyes to see that it was Ashtail that had come to him. Ah, so she had wanted to talk, huh?
What had his attention now, however, was a small bit of moss sitting upon the she-cat's head. He stared at it as she said something but he didn't even know what she said; all his brain processed was that it was something short, only one word, but whatever that word was he didn't know. He blinked before taking slow pawsteps towards the she-cat so he wouldn't frighten her.
Once he was within arm's reach, he whipped at the moss with his paw and batted it aside. It fell gently onto the ground and Rosehaze gave Ashtail a friendly smile. "You had moss on your head," he told her. His eyes went down to the moss again and he pawed it into the direction of the she-cat, as if to try and get her to play with it with him.

Ashtail watched him star at the flowers for a moment.. A tom looking at flowers? Well, that is a first. Ashtail sometimes see toms take a quick sniff, but then just turn away from them. Weird tom indeed..But not weirder then her. She stared at the flower... What did flowers smell like? Honestly, she never even thought for a second until now to smell them. Eh, maybe another time.
Ashtail watched him slowly walk towards her.. She knew he probably did that because she would run, and Ashtail would probably. She stared at him, this time directly in his eyes. Oh, same color.. Her eyes were green, and so was his. He had a nice color.. She wanted to smile, but felt to scared to. The fear of toms are still an overwhelming emotion in her, that will be hard to get over.
Her green gaze stared at his arm which slowly motioned towards her. Just for a second, Ashtail might'v bitten him if she didn't see something fall. She stared at the thing that fell. A piece of moss? Oh my it must of been on her head and she didn't even notice! Ashtail blushed rapidly again, staring at him. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.. But then snapped it shut, to embarrassed to say a word. Her gaze motioned towards his paw which was pawing the moss.. it was slowly going towards her. Did he expect her to play? Well this is a first.. Probably a first for any she-cat. Ashtail motioned her paw towards it, then pawed at it a tad. It was kinda fun.. Felt like a kit again.. Then she remembered her lonely kit-hood, and quickly withdrew her paw. She stared at the ground, not sure what to do next.

Rosehaze found himself smiling as the she-cat seemed about ready to paw the moss back, but...then she stopped and took back her paw. Now why was that? He looked up at her with curiousity and noticed she just seemed so unsure of herself yet again. But then he couldn't help but notice how pretty the she-cat was. At least, she seemed that way to him. Then he remembered her saying something before about not being pretty. Was she not confident in how she looked?
He turned away from her and back to the flowers, looking down at one that had bright green leaves and the flower itself was a light blue. He bent down and grasped the stem of the flower in his jaw and snapped it easily with his teeth. He turned around towards the longer way to face Ashtail again and set down the flower at her feet with a purr that lasted for only a few heartbeats.
"A pretty flower for a pretty she-cat," Rosehaze mewed with a gentle smile. He wasn't quite sure why he found Ashtail so nice-looking. But perhaps he was also just intrigued by her personality and didn't even realize it.

Ashtail stared at the moss, she started to feel.. Lonely. Maybe it was just because it reminded her of how her kithood was.. Or the fact she rarely talks to people. Probably both reasons. It wasn't a hard fact to figure out Ashtail does not feel confident in herself, nor does she try infact. But, she does try to talk to people at times.
Ashtail watch him go back to the flowers. Maybe he gave up upon talking to her? No cat has went this far with her, she figured he would'v given up now or possibly later. Before getting up to leave, Ashtail watched him pluck a beautiful light blue flower and put it near her paws...What? She questioned herself. Why would he give her a flower? She never gets why toms, more importantly why he did. Maybe he felt pity for her? She stared at him, and simply shook her head, "I.. Am. N-Not pretty.." She softly said, it was hard to get those words out infront of a tom, but it needed to be said. She stared at the flower, and couldn't take her eyes off of it.. A slight smile was curling on her lip again, it was very hard to hide that slight smile that was about to appear. [/font] |

Rosehaze twitched an ear and just looked at her for a long few moments as she once more said she wasn't pretty. Why keep claiming such a thing? Was she trying to be humble? He tilted his head to one side, then to another, his eyes not leaving her face. Well, until he finally turned them down back to the moss again, which he poked back towards Ashtail.
"You should not keep saying something that is not true," he told her quietly with a small, cute smile. It's not that he was trying to be charming, really more along the lines of trying to make the she-cat feel better about herself. He wasn't sure why it was bothering him so much that this she-cat kept looking down on herself and didn't realize her true beauty.

Ashtail stared as he poked the mouse towards her.. She reached a paw out, just for a second, but then quickly withdrew again. She was acting weird.. Weirder then usual. Usually she wouldn't even dare to touch the moss in a situation like this, but why did she? Maybe it was the urge to interact with another living creature? Maybe she started to feel so lonely, it was an instinct to try and actually talk to cats? Someone once told her it was unhealthy to be unsocial.. Perhaps that cat was right?
Ashtail opened her mouth to respond to him, but quickly snapped it shut again.. Why does he think she is so pretty? It is obvious she is not, and all the other she-cats are. Why does he keep persisting about that? Ugh, so many questions and barely any get answered. Ashtail wanted to ask, but her shy personality didn't let her.
"..It is true.." She finally said, this time not stuttering like an mouse-brained cat. Ashtail has a huge habit of letting herself down. She honestly has no idea why, or how she ended up doing that anytime someone gives her a compliment. [/font] |
