Dawn sighed to herself, and lay on her side. She didn't expect this cat to go away anytime soon.

OOC: Sorry, I was inactive for a bit x.x
IC: I'll call you Dawn, then, he said. To be honest, he doubted he would see this cat again after one of them caved in and left. She seemed to be quite shy, and he doubted she would go out of her way to talk to him at a Gathering. He wasn't even sure whether or not he would himself, for that matter. There was a long, awkward silence which Shadowstorm did not feel compelled to break. He simply watched the sky in boredom.

Dawn sighed. "You aren't leaving, are you?"

Not until you do, he replied.

Dawn quietly sat. She wasn't used to talking to cats of any clan.

Shadowstorm was beginning to get bored. He surveyed the she-cat yet again, taking in every tiny detail of the she-cat's appearance. He wondered why she was so shy. He understood that she wouldn't talk much to an enemy warrior who was hovering on the border between their territories just to annoy her, but still. There was something about her demeanor that suggested she wasn't much used to talking to cats in general. She was a warrior, and yet Shadowstorm had never seen her before at Gatherings. I've never seen her talk before, he corrected himself, remembering that he may have seen a pelt like hers before. He narrowed his eyes as he watched her, lost in thought.

OOC: You know what I realized? Her name is supposed to be Dawnfrost! Lol, but I'm changing it to Dawnstorm anyway.
Dawnstorm liked this cat, because he wasn't insisting that they talk. As she was stuck there, that was for the better. Usually when cats talked to her, she said something stupid and raced away. That wasn't happening, though. Why? She didn't have an answer, so she let the question sit. She tried to remember whether she had seen this cat at gatherings. She had a habit of hiding at watching only at these much to social events, so he probably wouldn't recognise her. A strange feeling was coming over her as she sat, eyes not leaving him to make sure he did not cross his border. She didn't know what, but it was intirely new.

A breeze ruffled Shadowstorm's fur. It was cold, but didn't have the bite that most leafbare cold winds did. He glanced at Dawn, and his fur suddenly grew very hot. He looked quickly down again, wondering if he was getting sick. He surely had no business feeling hot in the dead of leafbare. He began to absentmindedly scratch a groove in the frozen ground. He pricked his ears, listening to prey, but there was none. And even if there were some, he was too close to RiverClan territory to do anything about it. He looked back up at the quiet she-cat, siezed with a sudden curiousity. Have you always belonged to RiverClan? he asked, ears pricked with interest, the tip of his tail twitching from side to side on the frozen ground.

"Yes." she meowed. She was shocked at the normalness of her tone, her lack of fright, and the sudden want to stay. She usually wished to put as many foxlengths between her and any cat with a wish to make conversation, but she seemed to hope for some strange thing to erase the scent-marked boundry between them, letting them forget their differance of Clans. But what was she thinking? She was bad enough around her own Clan even without her loyalty being questioned.

OOC: Sorry this took so long ^^
IC: Hm.. Shadowstorm said. Suddenly his fur grew hot and he felt like he needed to say something else. Do you like it there? He realized how rude this might sound to her. I mean, he said hastily I'm not much of a swimming person and I was just wondering-- I didn't want to be rude or anything... I just-- He broke off and looked down, embarassed. And confused. Since when had he had any trouble with talking to cats?

"That's okay," Dawn purred. Since when did she have more confidance than the cat she was talking to? And yet, it only made her like Shadowstrom more, as she knew what it felt like to be scared. Just, why was he nervous talking to her? It was all very weird. "I guess I like it in RiverClan, but I don't –can't– really talk to any of my Clanmates."

It struck Shadowstorm as odd that she didn't talk to her Clanmates and yet she was talking to him. He didn't mention it though. However, he was curious. Why can't you talk to your Clanmates? he asked, wrapping his tail around his body, as if to ward off the bitter cold. She seemed easy enough to talk to. But that might explain why he had hardly known she existed before that day.

Dawn looked at her paws. "I dunno. I just get nervous. And then my mind goes blank, and then I'm so scared that the only thing I can do is run away. I come across looked pretty stupid."

I don't think you're stupid, Shadowstorm. Her explanation raised questions within him. If she had that reaction talking to her Clanmates, why was she able to talk to him? But he still didn't mention it. I don't think you're stupid at all. In fact, you kind of remind me of a cat I know. And she's a great cat. He was thinking of Leopardpaw. She and dawn were very different, but after Firestorm's death, Leopardpaw had really become withdrawn. Observing her in the Clan, Shadowstorm had seen that although she talked to other cats, she didn't really interact anymore. She was almost always on her own or with Lunarpelt. Her grief was so real he could feel it... and it brought him back to the question that had been haunting him ever since he had taken her on as an apprentice. There was no doubt that she had the skills to be a warrior, but somehow he felt that she could never fulfill her potential if Firestorm's death was still haunting her. He licked his paw and brought it about his ear distractedly.
