Oh Boy These Two I Adore Them - Tumblr Posts

Like I mentioned before, Mallowcloud takes Hallowpaw in as he relates to her. As an apprentice, he and his littermates decided to have a race to the top of the gathering cliff. Mallowcloud slips and falls into the water below before being rescued by a Coveclan apprentice (Sootear, then Sootpaw), sustaining an injury that leaves him with an unbalanced gait and a fear of water. He also then starts to realize that he can make accurate predictions through cloudwatching.

“What’s the report on prey today, Mal?” “Good day for birds. You get a robin, Robin.” “Oh, funny!”

Even though he’s usually a bit skittish and reserved, he’s got a dry, punny sense of humor (some cats don’t realize he’s joking). It comes out more when around his brother Robinswoop, though he remains stoic around Honeyshine. The race was her idea, after all, and he doesn’t want to get tangled up in her disastrous ideas of “fun”.

“What if they find out?” “Well, I don’t think Turtlestar will mind much anyways. There was always talk that Wavestar probably had kits outside of the clan with how relaxed things were. ‘Sides, your dad’s the leader and he doesn’t seem like the kinda guy to kick you out.”

So... this has been a pairing I’ve been thinking about for a while. After Sootear saves Mallowcloud, the two become friendly at gatherings. A playful nudge from Soot, a rare smile from Mallow... oh no, what are these feelings? Mallowcloud goes out to gather herbs and Sootear just happens to wander on by... Sootear is more calm whereas Mallowcloud tends to get in over his head with worry, so when his beloved black-and-white fluffball expresses concerns, he does his best to ease him.
