tenderpool, deputy of riverclan, sat in the same spot her mother had several seasons ago. She watched the river travel swiftly past her. Her pale blue orbs, identical to her mothers shimmered with emotion. How had she gotten this far? she had never done anything amazing for her clan. only shown her loyalty time after time. she sighed. for being so great she had no luck with the tom cats. she had never had a mate, let alone a crush. a small fish leapt from the water and Tenderpool gave a small smile.

(You didn't accept him yet, but I wanted you to have someone to RP with so I thought it would be alright with you. My appologies if it's not  ) A muscular tabby tom padded into the clearing, hoping to find somewhere that he could sit and just watch the River. Even though his name , Nocturnalriver, and his semi-long pelt and well defined muscles, suggested him to be a tom of little meditating and more so of action, this was not the case. Nocturnalriver was in fact a very pensive tom. He hadn't been a member of RiverClan long and he was still trying to get use to everyone and their scents as well as all the rules! He had been a cat from a very diffrent life-style, though none knew what that was, for he hadn't made a close enough friend to want to reveal his secrets. Many stayed away from him, thinking that he'd be a cat with a temper. But, again, this was only a presumption, a prejudice to be honest. For, unless told to do so in battle, Nocturnalriver hated violence and fighting, he considered it a waste of time. Something that, if you where to sit down and talk, you might be able to reach a better solution. But at the same time, he had to admit that fighting gave him an excellent rush, one he much enjoyed when the time came. Anyhow, as he looked around the meadow for somewhere to sit and think, he spotted a very beautiful, pensive she-cat. He recognized her after a moment as Tenderpool, the quiet yet friendly deputy of RiverClan. He'd never really spoken to her other then to be assigned a duty and he decided to go to her and try to make friends. She seemed the nice kind of cat with whom he could become attached to quickly for she was a little like him in a way, a strong, respected cat who many held a certain opinion of. Though, Nocturnalriver couldn't think of why, for she seemed to always be thinking and quiet, but friendly. But maybe many looked to her for courage and strength, when really, a deputy couldn't necessarily be more certain about something then a normal warrior, not deep down at any rate. Taking a deep breath, he step forward, placing one paw slowly in front of the other. He was, in fact, very nervous. He didn't want her to pre-judge him as everyone else did. He wanted her to accept him as he truely was, not as the someone everyone secretly wished he would be. "Hello Tenderpool" he called of softly in greeting, his green eyes flickering from her face to his paws. He stopped a decent length away from her, not wanting to get too close until she accepted his prescence there. |

tenderpool smiled warmly at him and bowed her head.
hello nocturnalriver
she purred. her voice was quiet yet tickled with warmth and harmony. she had never truely spoken with the tom before and his duration of time in riverclan had not been great. her pale blue orbs watched him a moment before returning to the rushing river.
is something troubling you?
she asked. her musical voice held concern and genuine care. if something was wrong with any member of the clan it became her problem. that was one of the things with being a deputy. you had little time to care for problems of your own. you had so many others to worry about as well. she didnt mind so much though. she enojyed the moments that her memory did not have to linger on her past and her mothers memory. she looked at the handsome tom again waiting for his reply.

Nocturnalriver looked at her for a moment, trying to best decide how to phrase what he was trying to sya, considering that anything said was something important and it is best to contemplate what one is thinking on saying as to not upset another. Finaly he decided he'd found the best possible way of phrasing it and nodded.
"Well," he began, "It's not so much that anything is troubling, at least not one thing more then another. " he paused, he did indeed speak in a funny fashion. " What I mean is, I'm fine . I thought maybe you'd like so company is all, because being on one's own isn't always fun, not after a long peroid of time anyway. If you get what I mean" he explained, his eyes meeting hers while he spoke. "And of course by that I mean, would it be alright if I sat down with you. You don't need to talk to me, I'll understand. Even if you do have something to say, sometimes things are best understood when nothing is said at all" he mewed. He was indeed a very peculiar cat.

tenderpool smiled. musical laughter erupted from deep within her elegant throat and she released it. she looked at him after a moment, a smile still creasing her maw and her eyes dancing.

Nocturnalriver smiled back, delighted. "Well I wouldn't want you to think I meant to say anything I didn't" he purred. "I guess I've just always spoken this way, and to tell you the truth I like it, I mean as far as it making me diffrent from all the pre-jugements made on my part" he mewed with a wink. As she sat next to him, the fluffy tom smile grew larger. "I'm happy that you accept my company so willingly" he teased "Maybe deep down I'm a horrid creature" he laughed, poking her gently in the ribs with his nose in a playful manner.

tenderpool eyes narrowed dangerously and she leapt to her paws, hackles raised.
are you? cause if you are it is my duty as deputy to dispose of you immeadiently!
she leapt at him and bowled him over laughing the whole time. she hadnt felt this happy since...well since her mother had been alive. it was amazing how swiftly she felt herself growing to like this tom. he made her feel....alive....

Tumblingfoot heard a voice and looked up from the river. He raced to where it was and burst through the reeds to see Tenderpool and Nocturnalriver," What's going on here!?" He growled at Nocturnalriver. He stepped forward only to trip on a trailing bramble, he spat curses under his breath as a thorn went into his pad.

~Nocturnalriver~
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep Nocturnalriver laughed along with her. Hissing back playfully "It's up to you to determine the bad from the good is it not?" but he couldn't keep a serious face as she had already bowled him over he lay limp for a moment "You win!" he patend, prentending to be out of breath and scared. "I came to RiverClan to steal " he admitted "But what I was to steal was something that would make them stronger and happier." he whispered mischeviously. "For I came to steal away all your troubles" he murmered, smiling at her, his eyes meeting hers. As Tumblingfoot well, came tumbling down*, Nocturnalriver looked up from where he was, pinned to the ground. He decided it would be best for him to go see if the tom needed help. Slowly, so as not to hurt Tenderpool, Nocturnalriver rolled her off him by pushing his hind paws gently into her stomach so he could move out of the way as far as possible before setting her lightly down. Rolling over onto his feet, the tom padded towards Tumblingfoot slowly so that his massive size wouldn't scare his clan-mate. "Greeting Tumblingfoot, my name is Nocturnalfoot" he introduced himself. "I can take that out for you" he mewed, gesturing towards the thorn in the tom's foot. |

Tumblingfoot looked up at the tom, measuring up his size and he realized the tom wasn't much bigger the himself. He held his gray tabby pay out gingerly. He smiled,' Nice to meet you Nocturnalriver. I'm not as graceful as most Riverclan cats... as you can see." He blushed slightly as he relized that Tenderpool was still here and he secretly had a crush on her...

Nocturnalriver laughed "Grace isn't what matters most" he mewed in his normal good natured way. Getting down to the level of Tumblingfoot's pad he examined the thorn. After a moment he gently clasped the piece of wood and eased it out swiflty but smoothly, causing the other cat little pain. With a triumphant smile he spat the intruder to the ground. "There we go, lick it and then you're good to go!" he purred, padding back to where Tenderpool sat.

Tumblingfoot stood up, placing his paw gingerly on the forest floor. He sighed with relief when it didn't hurt and he strutted over to Tenderpool," Um... Do you want to... Nevermind." He turned and padded back to camp, his gray tabby fur hot with embarassment as he tripped again, catching himself before he hit the forest floor though.

tenderpool ears lay flat and her eyes filled with confusion and empathy. of course she didnt know his true feelings but she sensed his...well sadness it seemed. she looked at nocturnalriver to see if he knew...
