    _{Foxrunner squashed whatever inkling of guilt she was feeling. Now was not the time for sympathy, her teeth peeked behind her barely closed muzzle in distaste. "Pride, dear sister, has always been my weakness. Unfortunately, even if I wished to change it, I cannot. I will not sacrifice my pride, not when it's all I have left. I will fight beside you in battle, for WindClan and because you are still my sister. However, in the safety of home, know that I will continue to glare. I will not whisper behind your back, but my eyes will be on you, scrutinizing your activities. Know that I will criticize you, not in public, and not in private. Those thoughts will be my own. So you must work hard to prove my thoughts wrong. When I am satisfied, I will extend a dove of peace. Not until then." There, give a dog a bone and it'll love you forever, or however that horrid saying went. A chance for Peachstar to prove her big sister wrong and more importantly to earn the public respect she deserved. Lets see if you can, little sister. Lets see if you can.}

    _{Foxrunner tilted her head in acceptance. "How about if I come to you when I think an alternative should be looked into" Graciousness was a rare and odd trait to be seen in this ginger female. But, for the most part, the warrior trusted her leader's stances on many issues. Peachstar was a responsible cat, despite her lack of confidence issue. Foxrunner hoped that her sister would have grown out of that by now but it appears not. Still a fuzzy willowtuft, pale eyes flicked over the she-cat across from her. "Discreetly of course." She would not lose her pride due to overconfidence. She also would not want to seem as if she was back into rights with Peachstar. Drama was good for the soul, if she learned anything from her mother.}

    _{Hailgaze looked behind him to see his camp. His whiskers twitched he wanted to hunt a bit, at least something so he can easily go back to his den and just sleep. Although he didn't want to go alone and he didn't know if he wanted to disturb one of his Clan members or just try to get some sleep. He didn't want to sleep just yet though he wanted to at least do something productive if he couldn't sleep. He shook his gray tabby pelt and fluffed it a bit in aggravation. He decided to wait patiently and figure what to do instead of just rushing things, and he honestly didn't want to disturb one of his Clanmates slumber, he knew he would get his ear chewed off for sure. He paced for a bit wondering what he could do. He twitched his whiskers again and headed to the warrior den and his ears flatten. He honestly didn't want to go in there just yet so he waited outside.}

    _{Hailgaze looked behind him to see Duskfeather. He went over to the tom and looked at him with happiness he was a young warrior much like him but Hailgaze was still a bit older than him."Hey there, wanna hunt?" he asked he was a bit of a narcissistic pain in the flank, but he was also a little responsible. Just a pinch, but he still looked at the warrior with respect and his whiskers twitched. "Wanna go hunting?" he gave a sly purr even though he was the oldest he still was a mischievous piece of work and loved making things into competition but he never took the prey as some sort of sport. He knew that Starclan would probably haunt his nightmare's with awful visions of his actions. Well not really, he was a bit over dramatic as well. He sat looked at the camp entrance with total enthusiasm.}

    _{Hailgaze gave an over dramatic sigh. "Why would you think there was a catch," he said in the most over dramatic voice. "Please darling, I simply want to go hunting with you and see if I could help you with some of your pent up sadness," he said. He knew very well of the tom's dead sister and it pained him. The gray tabby actually had deep affection for the tom, but didn't want to force himself on the other male without frightening him off. He honestly wanted to spend time with him, he cared about him more than anyone else in Camp. His amber eyes shone with great deep sadness and his ears drooped. He didn't know how to help him nor did he think he even liked him. He was a bit annoying true, and a bit of a pain, but did this tom really like him maybe as a friend?}

    _{Hailgaze flinched and gave an embarrassed chuckle. "Oh yeah," he said and he heard Duskfeather lying about the sadness he was hiding. "Look Duskfeather, it's okay. You don't have to talk about if you don't want, but I do want to be here for you. Please let me." For once the gray tabby didn't use an over dramatic or a narcissistic tone, but a heartfelt genuine tone. He wished he could actually help with the tom's pain and ache's in his heart and he sat by his side he wanted him to be truthful with his feelings. He then saw the camp entrance and looked at the tom. "Come on we can walk slowly out of camp and go where you want to go," he said, usually Hailgaze picked the place but he wanted Duskfeather too this time. After all, he was more in pain than Hailgaze. Hailgaze was pained to hear about his younger sisters death he truly enjoyed Morningpaw's company. But he knew his pain wasn't as sever as Duskfeather's.}

    _{The gray tabby was sad his ears flattened against his head. I wish you would stop lying. His eyes shone with sadness and his whiskers twitched with sympathy. I wish I could tell you I feel. As narcissistic as the tom didn't have confidence when it came to tell his crush how he felt. He didn't know how the tom would react. He didn't know if he would except his feeling or reject him. His heart felt heavy with this burden he wanted to be brave he wanted to tell him. Although, he was scared he didn't know if the tom would be disgusted and forever shatter him. He was afraid to lose another friend but he had to tell him, so he stopped. "Duskfeather, may I tell you something? I need to be truthful I can't keep doing this," he said pain in his voice, "but I'm afraid you'll hate me." The gray tabby gulped and took a deep breathe and then he stopped he didn't know what he was doing he was scared his thoughts racing, his heart thumping in his chest and his breathing heart filled his ear drums as fear kept it's icy hold on him.}

    _{The gray tabby looked at him with shock his heart beating faster. "What? No, I loved her like a sister. I have feelings for you," he stated was he that oblivious? His heart pounding in his chest he was for sure gonna hate him now he could feel it, either that or they would end up heading back to camp the tom was quite shocked, his fur all bristled and ragged his ears flickering. He waited for the tom's reaction waiting for the hatred and anger coming from the other tom before him. "Just say it, please just end the fear," he said sad he began to feel defeated. How could this tom before him have any feelings for him? He was weak and stupid and his narcissism never really helped at times.}

    _{The gray tabby looked at him with shock "Ah, yes?" he said with a questioning glance. "I mean I thought you never really liked me so I just excepted it," he said and he was flustered of the possible thought of the tom cat actually liking him. Or maybe he was gonna be a friend? He honestly didn't know and he was afraid of actually of getting his hopes and have them torn down. Even though Hailgaze just wanted to be confident towards the tom-cat after all he liked him for his compassion, his kindness, his graceful skills, and of course the most important thing his intelligence. He didn't know what the tom saw in him probably a brat? A narcissistic loser who pretends his ego is huge but really his confidence is low. Even though he felt complete and confident when he was around the tom.}
