"Psh, my eyes aren't beautiful," she retorted, then swiped playfully at Jaggedstripe's paw when he poked her ear. Wait; was that a purr? She asked herself, drifting off again. Hearing Jaggedstripe ask her about whys she was actng strange earlier, she tensed up a little bit. She tried not to let him notice, and calmed down a little. She flicked her tail, trying to think of a good answer. "Well, I already told you. I was worried about her kits gone missing," she replied, twitching one ear. Badgerstep Don't judge me by where I come from Judge me by who I am [/style]

Jaggedstripe rolled his eyes and sighed. He didn't have to convince Badgerstep that her eyes were beautiful for him to know they're beautiful. Though when she tensed after he asked her about Featherflight, he knew she was lying when she answered. "C'mon, you can tell me," he insisted, his stubbornness kicking in again. If Jaggedstripe wanted to know the answer, he would try anything to get that answer, after all, he's one tough nut.

"I already told you for starclan's sake!" she said, pouncing on his tail, then battering it lightly. She was really trying to distract him, but she was having fun at the same time. Her black and white fur shone dully in the sun that was filtering in from the trees, and she looked around. The marshy territory looked mysterious to her, and beautiful at the same time. Badgerstep Don't judge me by where I come from Judge me by who I am [/style]

ooc;; Lol, there's no forest.. but okay. xD


Jaggedstripe growled as Badgerstep pounced on his tail and he whirled around to face her, shoving his nose into her face. "Fine, what do I have to do for you to tell me the truth?" he prompted, his eyes gleaming with mischief. His lips were drawn back in a snarl, but by no means a fierce one. A slight breeze blew past them and the wind ruffled through his long fur, spreading a cool sensation all over his fur.

Twitching her whiskers, she said, "Well, you can try to make me tell the truth but that doesn't mean I'll tell you. Or that I haven't already told you." Her eyes were lit up, sparked with cockiness. But she couldn't help but wonder what Jaggedstripe was going to do. Try to intimidate her? She mentally snorted. Badgerstep Don't judge me by where I come from Judge me by who I am [/style]

[♦ stormeh ♦]

Jaggedstripe twitched his whiskers and sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws with a smug expression on his face. He knew exactly how to make her crack. "Is that so? Well, alright. Ask me anything; right now. Anything at all, and I'll tell you my honest answer. But in return, you have to tell me why you were acting so weird when I was talking with Featherflight. Agreed?" Jaggedstripe reasoned, narrowing his eyes to try to tempt Badgerstep to take his offer. Though he couldn't help but wonder of what Badgerstep would ask him - if she even chose to.

"Fine," she grumbled, shuffling her paws. "I guess... well..." The she-cat said, trying to think of a question. Blushing, she looked at her paws. "Er, well then, what do you think of me?" She asked, feeling awkward and vulnerable. She looked around, trying to focus on something other than Jaggedstripe. Though that proved to be a decent problem. settling on her paws, she looked fascinated with them as she sat there lamely. Badgerstep Don't judge me by where I come from Judge me by who I am [/style]

Surprised, Jaggedstripe had expected Badgerstep to ask him something esle, but he would keep his word like his promise. "Well.. Badgerstep, you're a kind she-cat.. and you can always cheer someone up.. you're also thoughtful and compassionate, and a little fiesty," he meowed slowly, feeling his ears grow hotter by the heartbeat. He grinned at the last part, and suddenly added more quietly, "I like you for that.." Honestly, did he have to say the most mousebrained thing he could think of? Jaggedstripe instantly regret saying that outloud, and waited anxiously for Badgerstep's response.

Thank you," she said when Jaggedstripe started describing her. "Means alot," the she-cat murmured as a side-thought, not realizing she said it out loud. Badgerstep raised an eyebrow at Jaggedstripe, surprised. "Like, like a friend? Or... y'know," she asked, face growing hot. Do I really have to say the stupidest things in front of him? She was anxious to see how he'd react. Looking at him, she twitched her ears expectantly. Badgerstep Don't judge me by where I come from Judge me by who I am [/style]

[♦ stormeh ♦]

Jaggedstripe lay his ears back and blushed, looking down at his paws as if they were more important. "I.. I don't know," he mumbled, lost for words. He remembered how Badgerstep told him that she had feelings for him, but he didn't even know yet if he had feelings for her. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but one thing was certain; he wouldn't have rather been spending time with any other Clan mate at that moment.

Strangely, Jaggedstripe realized only then that is heart was beating rather fast, and an unfamiliar sensation tingled from his paws to the tip of his tail. Recalling how he had messed around with Badgerstep ealier, he felt somewhat embarrassed that he had behaved so ridiculously, especially in front of a she-cat. He should have been acting like himself, the stubborn, tough warrior that he was. Why was Bagderstep making him feel and act so differently? If only Jaggedstripe knew.

She started thinking back on that day, and recalled how she had acted like a jerk towards Jaggedstripe. She started feeling embarrassed, and her heart thudded in her chest. Badgerstep felt her ears grow hot with guilt. Twitching her tail, she mumbled slightly. "Er, sorry about earlier. I acted like a stupid furball, and I shouldn't have," the warrior meowed sincerily. The moment was broken just a little when her stomach rumbled. She giggled slightly. Badgerstep Don't judge me by where I come from Judge me by who I am [/style]

[♦ stormeh ♦]

Jaggedstripe smiled weakly and felt a bit less shy when Badgerstep nudged his shoulder. Though, he noticed that she suddenly appeared guilty, and was about to ask what was wrong but she beat him to it. At first Jaggedstripe didn't understand what Badgerstep was talking about then apprehension hit him. "Badgerstep, don't apoligize. It's not your fault that.. that I haven't figured out what I feel for you yet." he muttered, growing uneasy under his fur.

Jaggedstripe didn't want to upset her again, but he couldn't think of anything else to say. He hoped that Badgerstep would take his answer for the time being, and hopefully they would become greater friends than then, even if Jaggedstripe decided that he didn't like her back.

"Hey, but that still doesn't mean I should have over-reacted. Jaggedstripe, no matter what I'll still say I'm sorry for it," she said quietly. Then she smirked and glanced over at the tom. "I guess your stubborness is rubbing off on me," she commented, a mischeivious gleam in her eyes. She could tell Jaggedstripe was uneasy, and it made her feel bad. She wanted to cheer him up, but she didn't know how. Standing, she streched each leg at a time. "So... do you want to finish that race from earlier?" Badgerstep Don't judge me by where I come from Judge me by who I am [/style]

[♦ stormeh ♦]

Jaggedstripe felt himself relax a bit when Badgerstep teased him about being stubborn, and he put on a fake scornful expression. Please, you were already stubborn before I even met you!" he retorted, though his golden eyes sparkled with mischief.

When Badgerstep mentioned the race, Jaggedstripe tensed his muscles, and the fire of competition shone in his eyes. "You bet! I'll go easy on you this time," he smirked, raising a brow.

"Awww," she whined fakely, putting on a pout. "How 'bout this; You can go easy on me and I'll win, knowing I didn't actually win. Or you could go hard on me and I'll win, knowing that I earned it," she suggested, winking at the tom then looking straight ahead. "How far are we racing? To camp?"
