this time i need a SOLDIER.

The question had caught him off guard for sure, and as the fair she-cat asked him, the foreign warrior was at a slight loss for words. It was not that he could not answer, for it was very unlikely for a tom cat of his nature not to respond to a question, however more that the code in which she entwined it upon her sleek tongue pricked his fur delicately. Shifting his brilliant tawny eyes from ahead, he cast them aside pensively. Long obsidian ears pricked forwards, his immensely lengthy legs took him to a swifter, more elegant pace as his extremely exotic stride lead him with the warrior beside him.

"It's quite gallus t' tell m'self that, Win'rsong." Eagledance paused and tipped his lean maw to the sky. "Aye, it's gittin' caul, ginger." Suddenly the golden warrior caught himself in his native tongue and smiled, pardoning himself. "Fit me, ginger. I guess th' tongue of m'old Clan still runs deep wit'n my veins, eh?" he mused.

Flicking his long tail, the immensely tall tom flicked his triangular, tufted ears towards the sky, snowflakes falling and collecting upon his bristly coat, soft with the oils of his African-feline-ancestors. Indeed, to these clanmates, he was an entirely different species of feline. And yet, it was true, for his body structure, movements, accent, and even way of thinking was entirely different.

An alien amongst then.

A crooked smile played across his tawny lips, crystal-like flakes dancing across his coat and leaping across his eyes. Eagledance blinked and stopped, the scents of EarthClan camp becoming heavier as they halted outside the border of the fern-layered camp. He turned to Wintersong sincerely and smiled his crooked smile, his mind wandering on to the thoughts of things he himself was unsure of.

Wintersong smiled back at him, her ears taking in every word of his, especially his accent. "It' fine", she mewed. "I love your accent." She sat down next to him, her fur still brushing his lightly. She loved how he called her "ginger". She loved his stride, and his exoticness. She just loved him in general.

She looked at him, her amber eyes warm. "Would you like to hunting? Or would you rather just stay in camp?" She asked him.

Turning back to her, he let a bright beam play across his lean jaws, whiskers twitching jubilantly. The tawny warrior blinked happily, tall ears catching the flakes of snow that had begun to sprinkle the cooling earth with a light layer of the frosted flakes, and as he lifted up his small paws, and pressed them down again, found that he made quite amusing paw prints. Amused, he chuckled and flicked his long tail in the air.

"'Course, ginger," Eagledance broke his brilliant golden eyes from her deep, entrancing gaze and lifted them to the sky wistfully. "I doubt much but th' pige'ns an' some ti'y mousies."

Wintersong's heart leapt as Eagledance called her ginger yet again.He has a nickname for me!, she thought as her feminine side took over her for a moment, then she shook her head. That doesn't mean anything, she thought. He could just be bad at names? Or maybe he really did like her. Wintersong gave Eagledance a playful nudge and bounded off into the woods, looking back a couple times to see if he was following. She felt so happy, being here with just Eagledance, and she felt so comfortable around him, like he was an old friend.

The tom smiled as she bounded away, watching her silken orange and cream-hued coat wave gracefully into the falling flakes of Leaf-Bare. As she moved, it reminded him almost of that silver apprentice, Silverpaw. Eagledance's whiskers twitched jubilantly, his long legs following after hers into the forest.
