Sparrowpelt played by Geyser Eelborn; Cinderbane played by Nemuru_Rain.

Cinderbane: Oh, you again.

Sparrowpelt: [Nods] It's me. Want to go hunting or something?

Cinderbane: I won't do anything much. Not in the mood.... But sure.

Sparrowpelt: Don't strain yourself. If you don't want to go, don't.

Cinderbane: Nothing better to do, nowadays...

Sparrowpelt: [Rolls his eyes] All right, then, let's go.

Cinderbane: Am I too blunt?

Sparrowpelt: Well, you lack diplomacy...and tact...

Cinderbane: I prefer not to conceal myself. I'm not a stereotypical 'cat'.

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles] Don't you worry about offending people?

Cinderbane: The truth is the truth. The truth is also opinion. So, how would I know if I hurt them or not?

Sparrowpelt: ... [Sighs] I'm not going to win this argument, do I really need to keep trying?

Cinderbane: I'm not arguing. I'm... sorry. I just speak my thoughts.

Sparrowpelt: [Shakes his head] No, no, that's an attractive trait in you. I just hate arguing, I'm bad at it.

Cinderbane: Thank you. I'm sure you can put up a reasonable argument if you can say what you want. *shrugs*

Sparrowpelt: [Nods and smiles] Perhaps I can. Come on, let's go.

Cinderbane: *follows at his side* Where to again?

Sparrowpelt: I was thinking the forest; too hot elsewhere.

Cinderbane: *nods*

Sparrowpelt: [Trots off ahead of her]

Cinderbane: Attempting a race?

Sparrowpelt: Not in the least, Cinderbane. [Drops back to walk with her]

Cinderbane: I can catch up if I'd like... *sighs*

Sparrowpelt: [Twitches his tail] What's wrong?

Cinderbane: No need to treat my so kindly.

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles] What if I like being nice to my clanmates? What then?

Cinderbane: Perhaps I want you to trat me as an equal.

Sparrowpelt: [Frowns] I thought I was treating you like an equal.

Cinderbane: Treat me more like yourself. Just a little more rough.

Sparrowpelt: [Sighs] If I treated you like myself, I'd disgust you with my silliness.

Cinderbane: I prefer to speak more familiarly with others... it's jsut my persona prevents me so.

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles] So I noticed.

Cinderbane: Good then. Now pretend I'm not really this gender. Talk to me more casually.

Sparrowpelt: ...You mean like I talk to a tom? O.o

Cinderbane: Yes. I don't need special treatment.

Sparrowpelt: Who says I'm giving you--okay, fine, I am. [Sighs]

Cinderbane: *sighs* ... It's a bad request, I know...

Sparrowpelt: [Shrugs] No, it's cool.

Cinderbane: Awesome. *smiles a bit*

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles back at her and races off] Last one there is ratbait!

Cinderbane: *darts after him* You really shouldn't have!

Sparrowpelt: Shouldn't've what? Fogstorm and I always race after each other!

Cinderbane: Oh please! I'd take you on anytime, brownie!

Sparrowpelt: Oh? Is that so? Then you're going to beat me, huh?

Cinderbane: ... Wait, where are we even-! Oh, you cheater!! *pounces him*

Sparrowpelt: Ack, hey! [Grins and tries to wriggle out from under her] I said the woods! Now who's cheating?

Cinderbane: You never said where!

Sparrowpelt: Yes, I did! You asked me where we'd hunt, and I said the woods because it's too hot!

Cinderbane: Where in the woods though? *laughs*

Sparrowpelt: I hadn't thought that far...uh...all over as long as we don't cross the border?

Cinderbane: *rolls off him* Hmph.


Sparrowpelt: [Shrugs] My sister's the brains of the family. [Stands up and shakes himself out]

Cinderbane: Oh, whatever, Browniepelt.

Sparrowpelt: [Glances at her] As you say, Cinderears.

Cinderbane: *smiles mreo* That's more like it.

Sparrowpelt: What, you want me to mock you?

Cinderbane: I know you won't be serious with it. *chuckles* I can use a good laughing once in a while...

Sparrowpelt: [Laughs] There's much more to you than meets the eye! Come on, let's go! [Runs ahead]

Cinderbane: Again?! *runs after him*

Sparrowpelt: You want me to treat you like a tom, don't you? Toms compete with each other.

Cinderbane: I would have said just jokes, but I would have asked for more...

Sparrowpelt: So would you like me to stop running off?

Cinderbane: Only if you please so!

Sparrowpelt: [Thinks about if for a moment] All right, I'll stop running.

Cinderbane: Alright, if you say so...~

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles at her, then turns at the sound of a mouse nearby]

Cinderbane: *ears perk up*

Sparrowpelt: [Crouches low, keeping his tail down as he sneaks up on it]

Cinderbane: Hm. *watches him*

Sparrowpelt: [Winces as he makes a small noise and leaps onto the mouse before it runs away, killing it sloppily]

Cinderbane: Bravo.

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles, embarrassed] Thanks...Thank you, StarClan. [Buries the mouse quickly]

Cinderbane: *sighs, ears plopping back to the normal position again*

Sparrowpelt: [Licks his paws] So...

Cinderbane: So?

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles] Your turn to catch something.

Cinderbane: Maybe I already caught something.

Sparrowpelt: Oh? What did you catch?

Cinderbane: Your affection. *chuckles* Kidding.

Sparrowpelt: [Would blush if he could] My friendship, you would mean.


Cinderbane: I guess.

Sparrowpelt; What, you don't want to be my friend?

Cinderbane: As taking yesterday's hint, you were totally hitting on me.

Sparrowpelt: ...Oh yeah...Sorry about that. [Shuffles his paws]

Cinderbane: Oh, jsut thought that you kinda had that certain characteristic of being a total charmer.

Cinderbane: No need to apologize.

Sparrowpelt: But it obviously made you uncomfortable.

Cinderbane: Me? You've got to be kidding.

Sparrowpelt: It irritated you?

Cinderbane: I've always got cheesy comments about how my ears are so soft and velvety looking, and my eyes sparkle. Pfft, what silly thoughts.

Sparrowpelt: [Chuckles] No, they're just observations. You do have soft and velvety-looking ears, and your tail is certainly something as well.

Cinderbane: No flattering. Please. I'm so sick of it, especially when it coems to an overused pick up line. It's usually appearance they go for.

Sparrowpelt: [Sighs] All right, I'll stop. [Stands up and shakes himself out] Let's hunt.

Cinderbane: I'm sorry.

Sparrowpelt: No, no, it's okay. We don't have all day. [Smiles]

Cinderbane: *yawns*

Sparrowpelt: [Flicks her with his tail and looks around, scenting a squirrel]

Cinderbane: *not really bothering, as she never really gets hungry much*

Sparrowpelt: [Crouches, then leaps into the branches and snags the squirrel, dragging it down]

Cinderbane: I like the things about you. *rather blunt way of saying it* I mean, you're rather patient with me.

Sparrowpelt: O.o Thanks. I try to be patient...impatience doesn't get much done.

Cinderbane: No one bothers.

Sparrowpelt: With patience, you mean, or with you?

Cinderbane: I guess it seems like I shoo others off easily. But thanks for taking your time for even just asking me out to hunt. It's generous of you.

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles] Hey, no problem, Cinderbane. Thanks for letting me take you out without chasing me away again.

Cinderbane: It was you who ran away.

Sparrowpelt: [Shrugs] Yeah, I guess so.

Cinderbane: *smiles* I like that.

Sparrowpelt: But I thought you didn't want me to...

Cinderbane: Well, I wasn't feeling the best.

Sparrowpelt: Why not? Feeling sick?

Cinderbane: All just yesterday and before. Not much, it jsut put me under the weather for a bit.

Sparrowpelt: [Nods] That makes sense. [Starts to bury his squirrel] Caught anything?

Cinderbane: Not yet. You've caught three so far.

Sparrowpelt: No, two. One mouse and one squirrel.

Cinderbane: And my interest. Don't forget that.

Sparrowpelt: [Chuckles] You're a lot different up close. [Twitches his tail around himself]

Cinderbane: Only for you.

Sparrowpelt: [Turns and watches her for a minute] Why's that?

Cinderbane: *begins walking off in another direction* You have my interest.

Sparrowpelt: [Follows her] But why?

Cinderbane: No one's ever been this patient with me before. You're the first to hear me out.

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles] I'm glad I did. You're a deeper person than I thought.

Cinderbane: I just appreciate the msot slightest things that make me happy.

Sparrowpelt: [Nods] So what makes you happy, Cinderbane?

Cinderbane: A lot of things.

Sparrowpelt: I guess that's just like the rest of us. But being understood especially?

Cinderbane: Especially. *smiles again*

Sparrowpelt: [Purrs and stretches his claws]

Cinderbane: You're quite thoughtful.

Sparrowpelt: Thank you.

Cinderbane: Most welcome.

Sparrowpelt; [Purrrs softly]

Cinderbane: ?

Sparrowpelt: What?

Cinderbane: Sudden purr.

Sparrowpelt: [Shrugs] I'm just feeling happy, that's all.

Cinderbane: I wonder. *chuckles*

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles and laughs softly]

Cinderbane: *shrugs, also smiling* Why so happy all of the sudden?

Sparrowpelt: I don't know. Day seems brighter, though, doesn't it?

Cinderbane: Perhaps.

Sparrowpelt: [Flicks her lightly with her tail] Then you feel it, too?

Cinderbane: Of course.

Sparrowpelt: [Grins] Good, then I'm not just feeling things.

Cinderbane: So is that your answer?

Sparrowpelt: [Shrugs] Not entirely sure...want to pick up the prey and call it a hunt?

Cinderbane: I'm fine.

Sparrowpelt: I mean, we don't seem to be catching much prey...

Cinderbane: A walk is fine occasionally.

Sparrowpelt: You're right.

Cinderbane: So.

Sparrowpelt: [Smiles] Mind if I dig up my prey, drop it off, and we just...go for a walk?

Cinderbane: Why not?

Sparrowpelt: [Nods] I'll be right back. [Runs back to his squirrel and mouse]

Cinderbane: *exhales, and stis down for the moment*

Sparrowpelt: [Collects his catch and leaps down to the freshkill pile, depositing his prey before running back up to Cinderbane]
