Her eyes drifted closed as the moonpool graced her welcome. Golden pelt glinting, she laid still on the ground, simply drifting off. Mothwing knew nothing would show to her, so she inevitably released her gaze.
Suddenly, it struck her. The gorgeous, brown pelted tabby, daughter of Firestar, was laying, perfectly lit beneath the moon. A warm blush hit Mothwing's cheeks as she took in the beauty of the cat.
Paws moving swiftly and silently, she approached the feline with anxiety and stealth. She could not mess this up.
Prodding the she-cat with a paw, Mothwing nestled down beside Leafpool and pressed herself into the warm presence of her striped pelt.
"Leafpool," her voice was low. Afraid to wake the others, of course. "Leafpool, wake up."
And so she did. Her warm brown eyes flickered open, meeting the gaze of the lovestruck RiverClan admirer. A soft mrr of confusion escaped her throat, before Mothwing flicked her tail over Leafpool's ear. "Follow me," she meowed warmly, padding into the woods.
Leafpool's weary gaze drifted behind the gorgeous cat, before slowly lifting herself up to follow behind the loving she.
"Mothwing?" The golden feline turned, illuminated by the moonlight and the scattered fireflies.
"Leafpool." The one word was like a match hit the box, bursting into a flame as the silken pronunciation struck Leafpool in the heart. Wow. Mothwing trailed her tail beneath Leafpool's chin, guiding her to lay down. She slumped beside her, simply settling herself and gazing into the wilderness. Mothwing's feathery tail draped over Leafpool's back, an unspoken agreement made as the two settled in with each other.
"We can just lay here for a while."
