@drought
The day was exceptionally hot. Yes, it was summer, and yes, Rose did have a dark pelt, but the sensation of her fur burning was stronger than usual, which usually meant she was either on fire or it was an exceptionally hot day. And Rose decided - hoped - that she wasn't on fire, so it must've been a hot day causing her misery.
After a quick dip in the cooling river which almost ended up with her drowning, the dripping adolescent paced back and forth, waiting for her pelt to dry. During this pacing, however, she found herself in a place laced with other cat scents. What was this? She looked around, curiosity taking over and making her bound to one of the places where cat-scent was the strongest, and poking her nose in. Inside, was some dry moss and prey bones. Oh. This is another cat's nest. Squeaking, she scurried back, worried that some cat would smell her scent and think she was challenging them. She'd heard of this place, and had been advised to make a nest of her own, but she'd never gotten around to doing it. How was a cat supposed to make a nest? Confused, she whipped around, about to observe some other nests when she smelt fresh cat scent before her. Before she could stop, she crashed into the cat with a squeak. "Sorry!" she squealed, scrambling back. "Sorry! Mistakes! Apologies!"

DROUGHT OF DEATHCLAN In all honesty, Drought didn't make a habit of poking around DeathClan's dens. His cats tended to be the solitary and easily-agitated type. Which was why they didn't go the traditional route of having one big den with many nests for the whole group - DeathClanners built their own dens like loners or rogues, and usually they were spread out across the territory. Tempers were less likely to flare this way.
The leader had been on a walk through the forest that day, and upon realizing that he was getting close to someone's den, he'd been about to turn around and head a different way. But a youngling chose that moment to crash right into him. Drought let out a startled huff, regained his balance, and blinked at Rose.
"Is this your den? I can't exactly blame you for… er… attacking me if that's the case." He wasn't quite sure what Rose had actually been attempting. Inexperienced younglings often had unusual combat techniques, though, so Drought supposed it was just a clumsy take on a tackle.

Through her flurry of stuttered apologies, Rose heard the other cat say something, and stopped. She looked at him, round green eyes opened wider than ever. "Me? No, I don't have a den. No no no, I didn't attack you! I mean, I fell, I mean, I was looking at the den and I thought 'Oh no what if they smell me' and I'm very vulnerable right now so I don't need a fight with anyone and-" she cut herself off, gasping for breath. Her entire speech was stammered, and, under the impression now that her tongue was too big for her mouth, she leaned back on her haunches, scared to death of the larger cat. "I'm sorry! Did I hurt you? I'll help you! Just wait!" with those words, she darted into the undergrowth, only to emerge again with a leaf in her mouth. "See? This leaf will help you! Don't worry!" stumbling over her own words, she thrust the leaf to Drought. In reality, she knew nothing at all about herbs. She'd probably eat a death berry, thinking it's some sort of medicine. "How can I make it up to you? I'll be your personal assistant! Yes!" thinking that was a fair wager, though she'd be a lot more trouble that she would help, she tipped her head, fear still pounding through her. "What would you like me to do first?"

DROUGHT OF DEATHCLAN Under different circumstances, Drought might have warned Rose that being vulnerable and telling others about it was… well, frankly, a terrible idea in DeathClan. There were cats who could and would take advantage of such information. But the youngling was so panicked that he stayed silent and listened quizzically.
Did she think he was going to eat her or something? Sure, the leader had brutally injured a few enemies before, but he was no Darkstar. This thought was interrupted when Rose suddenly leaped into the bushes and returned with some sort of leaf. He blinked at it.
"You can calm down, I'm not going to make you run errands just because of a mistake," Drought informed her at last. "Although… no, never mind." WORDS: 123 || WRITTEN FOR: Rose NOTES - oh man rose is adorable template by Margie @ Adoxography v2
