Returning... and so different. [Aleen, please.]

[Yeh great StarClan, I'm late on this one. Terribly sorreh x.x]

Relief swept through the young she-cat as she saw Hazelblaze awake. Though, by the confusion showing clearly inside his amber oculars as his gaze flicked over to her, she knew - or, at least, thought that - he couldn't quite understand what was happening at the moment, it still made her feel better now that he could be there to offer help if she ever needed it. A fleeting smile appeared on her crimson maw, though it was soon whisked away as she went back to looking at the Leader, not yet daring to stare the she-cat straight in her blue orbs, while the brown tabby tom asked his own inquiry towards the ivory white female.
It did not take long for Rapidstar to answer both questions, swiftly switching from one to the other as she gave her reply. Spiderbreath, hearing the supposedly comforting phrase that the gray-streaked femme had directed towards her, gave a short dip of her head in thanks. There would have been a time, now seeming so very far away, when she would have retreated even farther into her already hunched shoulders, plastering stiff earth-hued ears to her skull, almost as if she was ashamed of something she had not even done. But now... now she had help. Hope. There was no more need for fear and reclusive actions. From then on, she would have to take responsibilities, help in the care of her Clan, join into battles that she would never had dared think about before to keep the others alive. Deep inside the darkened corridors of her mind, she mentally thanked the auburn-eyed tom next to her, grateful for the help he had given while she had been retreating farther and farther into the shadows of insanity. He had saved her. What more could he ever do? For now, she was just content about his presence being there, close by, and that was it.
A quick, nearly inexistent shake of her head brought her back to the present. It took her only seconds to pick the chain of the conversation back up, and she soon had her thoughts bent on the patrol that she and Hazelblaze had been assigned to do. She gave another nod to the Leader, this time signifying comprehension, as the snow-toned female gave them their instructions. Go particularly heavily on the ThunderClan border, be wary on WindClan, and all the rest of the talk. And then there was the fact about finding other cats. Personally, Spiderbreath would have preferred to do it with only Hazelblaze, but having more come along would also be helpful. She may get to know the other cats better, something she hadn't done since she had been born, and the others just might want to meet her. It wouldn't be easy, but at least she wouldn't go all quiet and empty on them like she had always done. She hoped.
Hazelblaze's answer to Rapidstar's orders caught the strangely colored female by surprise. She returned to what was presently happening, pricking her ears up and changing the direction of her yellow-amber gaze as the siberian tom turned to face her lithe, practically gaunt frame, addressing her. She faltered for a moment, not really knowing what to choose, and, as his tail brushed against her vermilion-streaked coat, decided to take the answer that she preferred from all of her possibilities.
"Well... uh... you choose."

Somewhere in the background the tom could hear familar noises of camp life, but they were faint, almost nonexistant in his mind. He was completely preoccupied with the rapidly approaching patrol, wild, confused thoughts flying around in his brain. It was funny how much of his life he spent in his head, trying to think of new ways to serve the Clan, reveiwing his past, or dreaming of his future. He might as well be just a head, rolling about when it wished to go somewhere, but mostly staying in one place. The bizarreness of that thought made a laugh leap into his throat, but he forced it back down. Spiderbreath had just answered. What had she said? Realization finally hit, causing a thousand different responses played out in Hazelblaze's head when he heard his friend's reply, most of them starting with him turning quickly to look at Spiderbreath and yowling "WHAT?" at the top of his lungs. That, of course was the wrong reaction at anytime, but even more so in front of the Clan leader. Instead, he turned slowly to face the oddly colored she-cat beside him and nodded slightly. His heart beat more rapidly and his head ached from thinking about all the possibile outcomes of his leading the patrol as he opened his maw to speak.

"Okay. If we can find anymore cats soon we'll ask them to come. If not we'll go alone." He almost added "I guess" at the end, but decided against it at the last minute because of the immaturity seemed to add. He looked back at Rapidstar, his intense pools of amber asking for approval before starting on their task. If he messed up everything else at least he would have started out right.

There was a pause before Hazelblaze finally began moving and speaking again. His cranium slowly swivelled, almost as if he was still thinking about what he was going to say - or not say - to the flame-hued feline, to face the she-cat, and this latter patiently waited as he yet again did nothing, and then let her breath [which she had been subconsciously holding] out in a long, relieved sigh as his skull moved again, this time in an up-and-down nodding motion, signifying either his approval or his agreement. Either way, Spiderbreath was fine with what it meant, and let a small but apparent smile twist the corner of her lip upwards in gratitude. At least she hadn't started out catastrophically with the tom. She needed him [for now, at least], and couldn't imagine being able to continue doing efforts to be slightly more social, smile and speak without letting her ears swish backwards against her head in submission or dropping to the ground as if she was grovelling like a servant to a king. It was only now that she realized the terribly humiliating image she had made of herself, and a slight blush invaded her cheeks [thankfully hidden by her blazing coat] as shame swept through her. The smile lessened for a second, one corner falling back down as a nearly blank grimace etched itself carefully onto her face, but then she put it back up again, not wanting to make Hazelblaze feel as if she did not like his decision, something which would have been entirely untrue.
A nod shook the female's head as her supposed friend's next phrase left his maw. This was fine. Then either position was possible. She might enjoy an outing alone with Hazelblaze, or else meet other cats and get along more with the rest of the Clan. For a moment, she wondered if everyone would doubt that she had truly changed, but quickly pushed that thought away. It was better not to be pessimistic at this crucial moment in her life.
Her gaze, along with the tom's, drifted back to the Leader. What was the outcome? Right decision, wrong? She couldn't really call it suspense, but whatever it was sure made her nervous.
