Pausing mid-step, she turned her head just enough to look at the tom. He was still a mystery. What was clear, however, is he wasn't acting differently. No threats of using the conversation against her. None of her clan acted in a way that indicated they knew. Forestclan knows if Barkfang caught wind of a weakness that would be the end of her. "Good morning and that is great to hear." Wildflower was a great deputy, executing her orders and fast on her paws. Enough that there was no doubt the other shecat could adapt to any situation.
Before starting up again, she added a low, "and thank you." With a bit more volume for any other cats too curious for their own good she told him, "I am off again, just like last time." Rather than wait any longer, restless paws started to lead her back to that spot. Her pace was brisk and her tail up and over her back.
She wasn't leading the whole clan anywhere, the action just felt normal.

For a little while, she just focused on breathing, watching the water as it tried to calm her mind. Her tail was the only part of her in motion, sweeping behind her in a show of 'lazily'. She would sweep against his tail, sweep back towards herself then back again.
"It does, its the only place I feel freer to try and talk my thoughts out without fear of starting a rebellion in the Clan. Just about everything that comes out of my mouth feels like a declaration of weakness, of being unfit." Case in point, every stupid thing she just said. How badly do you want to speak where the only counsel you find you blurt weakness?
Took just about every ounce of self control she had to keep her ears from going flat. She is a leader, IS, weakness has no place in her mind or heart.
"I appreciate that you didn't share my sad show last time. I wanted to tell you that." If that was the end of it, it would do.

Russetstorm made no show of displeasure as her tail swiped across his, even if slowly and lazily. Sometimes, he almost thought he'd not mind if she left it there but he cast the thoughts out of his mind quickly. A leader wouldn't have time for a simple warrior like himself, not when he still had so much more training to accomplish.
However when she spoke, her words sounding sad and uncertain, his ears went flat against his head. He felt for her, in the strange way that he felt emotions. Less of her words, more than she found it wrong to be weak. "Forgive me Shadowstar, but I believe you are thinking about this all wrong." he began, lifting a paw, wanting to reach out to her but he stopped, holding his place. His tail swished a bit. "There is no strength without weakness. It is very much one in the same. Where we are weak, there is growth." he nodded his head, pausing a moment to collect the rest of this thoughts.
"No one is going to hate you for having room to grow. And if they do then they themselves have even more room to improve."
