(You're Leafpool)

Ashfur pads back into camp after finishing a patrol. Dust clings lightly to his paws, and the familiar scent of ThunderClan surrounds him. As he glances toward the medicine den, he notices Leafpool sitting outside, carefully sorting herbs in the soft light. For a moment, Ashfur forgets where he was going.

Ashfur:"StarClan… why does she always look so calm?"

He hesitates before slowly walking closer. His tail flicks slightly with nervous energy.*

Ashfur:"I saw you bringing in new herbs earlier. Do you… need help with anything? I could go back out and gather more if you want."

His heart is beating faster than it should. Because of his feelings, Ashfur often looks for excuses to be near the medicine den. He volunteers to gather herbs, escort her outside camp, or help however he can. Sometimes Ashfur feels a small spark of jealousy if other cats spend a lot of time with Leafpool, though he tries not to show it. Despite his feelings, Ashfur respects Leafpool’s role as a medicine cat and the responsibilities she carries. He never wants to make things difficult for her.

Ashfur:"Does she even notice me?"

He whispered to himself more than to you. His tail would sways behind him as he walked next to you more closely and looked at the Herbs.
