{$title} velvet gets splashed and loses her everloving mind
95672600_gCmj8ORMKA83nLE.png

Velvetpaw sat near the edge of camp, keeping herself maybe a tail-length from the mostly-frozen streams. She'd survived this long, both in the new territory and the old shipyard, without having to... swim, or catch fish for that matter. There at least seemed to be more land-favoring prey here that she could catch more easily... She couldn't understand how the other cats around her just swam like it was nothing! Whether it was jealousy or disgust that she felt when she saw her clanmates swimming with ease... She didn't know, and didn't care to figure out.

What makes them different? Are they just born liking the water, or do they have to force themselves to do it? Maybe it was the curls in her fur that weighed her down whenever she was wet - she could barely even handle going out when it was raining. And of course, the muddy days after a rainstorm, and all the extra grooming that came with it... well, they were just as bad if not worse!

She was so lost in her thoughts that for a moment, she didn't notice the moving feline shape, probably around her size, in the water. She also failed to notice a large splash of frigid water that landed right onto her side as whichever one of her clanmates had been in the water suddenly jumped out onto the bank. She jumped up too, although she was frantically shaking herself off to get rid of the water that she could already feel the weight of on her fur. Horrible, horrible, horrible! I hate being wet!

- TORRENTPAW -






Not some average bones, I believe in love!

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Torrentpaw had been trying his luck at catching a fish from the stream, his body soaked from his ears to his tail tip as he focused on darting in and out of the water, causing a bit of a commotion from the splashing. Cursing to himself as all the fish seemed to have completely dispersed from all the noise, he leaped out of the stream, shaking out his pelt as his paws rooted into the pebbly ground.

Torrentpaw's eyes flashed towards sudden movement as he finished drying himself, and he blinked in surprise at the sight, he hadn't realized there was another cat so close to the bank.

"I'm sorry!" Torrentpaw meowed after a moment, taking a step towards the distressed she-cat as he realized he had splashed her. "I didn't realize you were so close." He added, his mew full of sincerity as he looked over her.

He half expected the curly-furred cat to be amused, but he quickly remembered how some of his other clanmates didn't enjoy the water as much as the others. A flash of guilt washed over him, and he quickly parted his jaws. "Are you okay?"

SAY YOU WON'T EVER FADE AWAY
Rosepaw had no real issue with the water. She wished to learn and become a skilled swimmer one day like Wavesong. But it would be a lie to say it wasn't a bit terrifying to think about what may lay underneath the surface, to stare into the deep blue without really knowing what existed underneath. So she had respect for the water. For now it was wiser to keep at the shallow parts until feeling more comfortable with it. Beside, it was rather cold in the water at the moment so it was better to wait until warmer days arrived.

Velvetpaw was one of those who not liked the water very much just like her friend Leech...kit. She had never really seen her this close to water before. It must be difficult to adapt to this new life if water was an issue to overcome. Rosepaw could feel sympathy for that, and even though she didn't know how wished to help in someway to get Velvetpaw to feel more comfortable with the water. On her way over to approach the other she-cat froze when water suddenly got splashed over at Velvetpaw's direction. Oh no... Rosepaw blinked, surprised if anything over who would do such a thing until her eyes found Torrentpaw. That was a bit of a relief to see it was him because if judging what she had seen of him, Torrentpaw was a considerate young tom so she doubted he would splash another clanmate on purpose who not liked it. Seemed like her judge of character was correct as the other apprentice was quick to apologize and by the looks of it had been a accident, as Torrentpaw had just wished to leave the water to dry his fur.

" D-do you want me to h-help you dry?."
That was an odd thing to say without really thinking. What did i just say?!. Rose smiled nervousely, fur underneath cheeks starting to blush. What a stupid thing to say!. Why had she...said something as embarassing like that for?. Maybe...they didn't hear me. She could hope at least.
