Mellowpaw, having ditched his training session with Silentnight, ran into camp. His pelt was covered in dirt, but he was looking around as assured as if he were the grandest tom of all. The apprentice began to poke around the camp, careful to avoid looking too conspicuous. He hadn't had a decent conversation with Luna since the incident out on the moors. "Luna?" He called, looking for the she-cat.

Luna walked into camp. Her head was down and she was staring at her paws. She had just gotten int a fuss with Whisperstar-her mentor and leader- and now her training might be delayed. The tabby suddenly jumped as she heard her name being called from a voice- RIGHT BESIDE HER! That was just great. This is what happens when one doesn't look where they're going. She looked up to see Mellowpaw.

Mellowpaw perked his ears when his nose caught whiff of Luna. Turning around, he realized he was nearly touching noses with her! "Luna!" The medicine cat in training jumped a little and took a pace backwards. His eyes narrowed, not entirely in anger, as he stared Luna straight in the eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. "Why didn't you tell me what medicine cats and their apprentices?"

Luna jumped back for second realizing how close they were. Her heart seemed torn knowing that Mellowpaw hadn't known about Medicine cats and their loveless destinies. "I...I...I thought you knew." she managed to sqeak out. The tabby seemed to shrink with...fear?...saddness?...anger? Either way, she didn't know why she felt like she wanted to run away from him and never come back. Her eyes closed and she seemed to almost wince with the pain of a hurt heart flooding her.

Mellowpaw regained the ground he'd lost due to surprised and, refusing to be intimidated by Silentnight's stupid rules, he rasped his tongue over one of her ears. He hated seeing her like this, but he wasn't going to forgive her. He was still mad that she would...would...
Okay, so he couldn't grab a name for it, but there was some reason he should be putting the blame on her shoulders. He didn't betray this in his words, however. "That's okay, it's not your fault."

Luna heard Mellowpaw's words and took them for forgiveness. She brushed her muzzle against his realizing how badly she wanted and was willing to break the code for him. For Starclan's sake she told off Whisperstar! The she-cat decided that she would break the warrior code for Mellow, but would he. She purred as their muzzles touched.

Mellowpaw purred happily, but quickly took broke their connection. "But Luna, if you and I break the warrior code, Whisperstar and Silentnight will be angry with you too. It'll stop your from being a warrior if they find out!"
(Excuse shortness!)

Luna tilted her head a little confused by why he stopped purring. Then she just smiled after the words he spoke. "What's the worst they can do? My mother would never allow me to never become a warrior. At the worst they might delay it, but I'm willing to make a sacrifice." Her muzzle rubbed against his cheek and she began to purr again. Her tail edged closer to his hoping to entwine.

Mellowpaw's eyes lit up and his long tail happily intertwined with the gray tabby's. "Hey...Luna...thanks. You're the only nice cat in the entire Clan." Almost shyly, the young tom nuzzled the pretty she-cat and touched his nose affectionately to hers. "In all the Clans," he revised.

Luna smiled as Mellow's nose touched her. This had happened once before. At the moor, but Luna had run off to the moors. Only this time, she wasn't about to leave him. Her head leaned against his chest. It was getting late and the sun was setting. "I'm tired." Luna padded away from Mellowpaw and stopped in front of the apprentice dens. "You coming?" Another smile slid across her face.

Mellowpaw nodded, moving forward, then stopped again, doubt flickering through him. What if Whisperstar or Silentnight found out? What would keep them from kicking him out? Sure, Luna would be alright, but what about him? No matter what he wanted to believe, he would probably not survive on his own.
"Luna..." he started, then stopped. He didn't want to admit his worry. Trotting over to the apprentice's den, holding head and tail high, he motioned forward. "She-cats first."
