Badgerstripe gazed at her under the sun. "you look lovely today," He remarked, awestruck by ehr looks.

Streamstone blushed, shifting her weight from paw to paw in embarrassment. She was startled truly, considering the fact that she hadn't sensed much more than friendship between them. But her senses had never been truly acute.
"T-thanks. You're... um... pretty good looking yourself." She meowed awkwardly.

"Yeah. Right. I'm black and White. How unique." But in a way, his pelt was unique. He had a black mask, but running down his back were two black stripes leading to his tail, like a badgers. So he was named for his pelt and the badger sets.

Streamstone frowned a little.
"Uniqueness is not what is important, Badgerstripe. It's not what defines beauty. Take the sky for instance. Every day it's almost the same, but a few little random clouds can make it so new, little blotches of color that brighten its lights make it warmer and more desirable. Those are what make it so wonderful and unique every new day. She meowed, smiling.

Badgerstripe nodded He could never say anything so beautiful and poetic. He had sensed a stumbling awkwardness with Streamstone when he called her pretty. Maybe he was just fooling himself. "Streamstone, have you ever fallen for someone who didn't love you back?" He asked, the question burning in his eyes.

Streamstone looked at him for a few moments and then frowned and looked down at the ground for a moment, trying to hide the sting of his question.
"Something like that, yeah. It never went far. I'm not the best cat to get along with and he was too good for me." She said with a sigh.

"Your a great cat to get along with. Your easy to talk with." Sometimes, He thought to himself privately. He sighed and looked up. He wished he could say more, but he couldn't.

She knew he didn't fully mean that. She smiled bitterly.
"No need to sugarcoat things. Life's been hard for the both of us. But oh well. You get over it, right?" She asked, smiling.

Badgerstripe shook his head.
"Well, sometimes. It depends. You might not get over something like her whole Clan dying. But that would be very...rare." He smiled. Why did he have to say such weird things?

Streamstone looked at him closely.
"Perhaps. But in my opinion even the darkest of circumstances can be righted." She murmured gently.

Badgerstripe nodded. "That's very optimistic." He felt a lot better about the recent moons by just having a simple talk with the cat he sort of liked, Streamstone. We wondered if anything,or anyone, was on her mind?

Streamstone looked away for a moment and then smiled slightly.
"Yes well optimism isn't as much of a waste of time as pessimism." She mewed, letting out a soft mrrow of laughter.

Badgerstripe nodded, eyes giving away to playfulness. He pounced on Streamstone's tail, like a kit. "Tag. Your it! Bet you cant catch me!" Even though Badgerstripe wasn't as fast at the others, he would definitely beat, say, a ThunderClan cat in a race.

Streamstone's eyes stretched wide and she stared at him blankly. She'd seen kits doing something along these lines but she'd never played such a game before.
"W-what are you doing?" She asked, frowning. She had never been permitted to play much, and as a Warrior she had considered it silly. She cocked her head slightly and stared at Badgerstripe, confused.

Badgerstripe stopped, equally confused. "Wha?" Streamstone didn't...play? He knew it was a kit thing to do, but some warriors have to take a load off Sometimes.. He started to get the feeling maybe Streamstone wasn't like him at....all.

Streamstone blinked.
"I don't understand this game. What is it called? What must one do?" She asked, confused. She did not really want to reject Badgerstripe. She wanted to have fun, deep inside, but she just didn't know what to do.

He smiled. "It's called tag. I tag you in some way, but I have to touch you to tag. Then you chase me, to tag me. And it goes on. It's a running game. Excersize." He flexed his legs, preparing to run.

Streamstone looked at him for a moment, and then nodded.
"O-ok..." She said, frowning with concentration. She leaped forward and tried to take a gentle swipe at him.

Badgerstripe leaped back, but her paw hit his shoulder slightly. He purred. "Hey, your good! I'm it!" He launched after her, attempting to swipe her somehow.

Streamstone wasn't as quick on her paws as she might have been, but she managed to dodge and she leaped out of reach, lashing her tail and smiling.
"You're still it!" She purred. She liked the feeling of exhilliration that filled her heart.
