~Hawkclaw brushed flanks with her. "Oh, it's not all that special. I mean, so we hunt, and fight- sometimes, but there's lots of warriors! There's only one Medicine Cat and that's makes you special and respected!" he meowed lightly, trying to feign nonchalance at his rank.~
~Ashstripe blinked at him gratefully. "I guess. But you're deputy- so you're special too!!!" Hawkclaw's eyes gleamed red in the dim light. "But... some days, I really feel this need to protect my Clan and keep the Prey Pile large, not be stuck in my den sorting herbs!" She paused, trying to compose her next words. Oh, please, StarClan, don't let this make him feel awkward... "And... maybe, some day... what if I want to have kits?" The last word came out as an anxious mewl.~
