Apolloeye thought for a moment. I could see the sun when I was a kit...my mother said that it was light. So, I guess I have, He meowed, speaking half to himself. He sighed, then, without thinking, he blurted, What do you look like? He was so stunned that he had asked the question that had been buzzing in his mind like an annoying fly that his jaw dropped. I-I uh...I... He stammered, trying to think of a good excuse for asking such a silly question.

Flare felt taken back for a moment, and she felt herself flush under her ginger pelt. Her whiskers twitched a bit, unsure how to explain. How could she describe herself? Flare had no idea how. Turning to the blind eyed cat, she searched his eyes for any sign of emotion. "Um, well... I guess my pelt is ginger coloured, sort of, but mixed with a little bit of amber here and there, and a bit of black. My mom used to say I looked like fire." Flare got a distant look in her eyes as she remembered her family in the forest of loners. Sakura, her mom, brilliant and cunnning, Niche, her dad, hilarious, smart, twisted like a grape vine, stubborn as well, Flare.

My mother used to say the sun looked like fire, Apolloeye meowed. That's how she described it when I said that was all I could see. She said it was like fire. Apolloeye sighed. She must be beautiful... He thought. He had always enjoyed the bright firey colors of the sun.

Flare nodded, seemingly lost in her own little world of lala land. A heavier wind, a moist one, swept through, bringing the scent of rain, made Flare shiver. Unconcsciencly[sp?], Flare pressed herself closer to Apolloeye, and felt warmer. Of course, this was no help to the situation, because then she felt hyperaware of him, his breathing, and his scent, like the wild places of the forest where others never go.

When Flare pressed closer to Apolloeye, he curled his tail around hers, intwining them. The wind ruffled his fur, making him shiver slightly. He pressed his body closer to Flare, welcoming her heat. For a moment he listened to her breathing, completly relaxed. Then he got an idea. Maybe ArtemisStar would allow you to come exploring with me? I want you to show me a stream... He said, trailing off as another wind blew through the Elder's Den.

Flare nodded, lashing her tail a bit. Not that she didn't enjoy being there, she'd rather use her tail to cover her nose. Flare sneezed a few times, andpressed it closer to her nose. "That'd be neat. I don't know though, you'd need to keep a good eye on me. Who knows what I'll do?" Flare mewed, joking, but her voice had an undertone of a flirt in it. She blinked in suprise. What did this cat mean to her? He was in Energyclan, she was Fireclan. It'd never work, besides, he must despise her, right?

You wouldn't try to run off, Apolloeye said, detecting the flirtiness in her voice. You like me too much. His tail swished nervously back and forth and he almost said, I like you too! but some weird force stopped the words in his throat. If you want I'll ask ArtemisStar. She'd probably let us go...she's my sister...she lets me get out of camp when I want too, Apolloeye meowed, setting his blind gaze on Flare's face. He could feel the she-cat looking at him, and he hoped that she didn't think he was just some stupid EnergyClan tom.

Flare grinned crookedly. "Nu-uh, it's me who likes you, it's you who likes me" Flare mewed, narrowing her eyes flirtatiously. "Besides, if I ran off, you'd follow me." She said matter of factly, pursing her lips. Flare glanced at the depths of his hazy eyes, before turning her head, blushing. He may not see, but his eyes can sear through me like fire She thought to herself. Then that voice reminded her that she was a fireclan cat, 13 moons, and just apprenticed. It was sad how lazy Phoenixstar got when she was off doing other things and ignoring her clan.

But you like me back, Apolloeye teased, touching the tip of her ear with his tail. He was wondering if she would agree to take him to a stream or not. How long have you been a warrior? Apolloeye asked, trying to determine the she-cat's age. She was about the same size as he was, but he knew better than to assume she was the same age. Many cats could be small or large for their age, so he never determined a cat's age by their size.

Flare frowned, turning her head to the side. Sighing, she turned back, but her head was held low. "I'm not. I'm thirteen moons, but I've just been apprenticed." Flare spat, hating how she was still an apprentice. It was so obvious she was too old to be in the nursery, and Flare had to openly point that out for her to become an apprentice. "I train all the time, even when I was still not an apprentice. I sure wasn't a kit, but Phoenixstar was too busy. I know howt o do everything warriors do, and I'm still stuck being an apprentice. I deserve a warrior ceremony!" Flare was angry now, but glad she finally had someone to talk to. She was afraid he'd not like her though. What kind of cat had to wait 11 moons to be an apprentice? Although, she was small for her age...

Apolloeye pushed his nose gently into her flank. Maybe ArtemisStar would give you one? He mewed quietly, a short pang of sympathy stabbing at his heart. He sighed as her sweet scent enveloped all his senses, comforting him. He took a few pawsteps out of the den and turned around. Let's go talk to ArtemisStar...she'll let us go out of the camp, and maybe, if you want, give you a warrior ceremony? Or she could talk to Phoenixstar. They're friends... he meowed, setting his tail on Flare's soft shoulder.

Flare snorted. "Like Phoenixstar has the time. She has like, kits and mates and stuff now. But yeah, we can go outside camp if we're allowed. I want to get some fresh water." Flare mewed. The thought of a warrior ceremony made a small flare of hope burn in her chest, but she knew if she hoped, and it all came down to nothing, it would kill her. Flare turned to Apolloeye and gave his ear a lick. "C'mon let's go" She mumbled, turnign around so Apolloeye wouldn't notice her blush.

Apolloeye nodded and walked into his sister's den. He got permisson to go out and padded back down to Flare. We can go. She just wants us to be careful by the stream, Apolloeye meowed to her, and then he muttered something about being treated like a stupid kit. Of course he knew to be careful by the stream! What did she think he would do, fall in? Let's go, before any of the other cats wake up, Apolloeye mewed, walking towards the camp's entrance.

Flare nodded back, giving her fur a few brisk licks, and she got up slowly. Her stomach seemed to be torn helplessly, but she ignored it. Gritting her teeth, and narrowing her eyes, she walked over to Apolloeye. "If I fall, you can drag my body back. Sound good?" SHe tried to meow jokingly, but her voice was too strained.

Do you want to wait til you get some strength back? Apolloeye meowed, leaning on her shoulder to help support her weight.
