A Stone and a Pebble (Closed for Cat and I)

Silverstone waited on the lowest branch of the High Pine patiently, watching for the familiar pelt of Pebblethorn to emerge through the trees. The silver tabby had specifically asked Pebblethorn to meet her at the High Pine at dawn, so hopefully Pebbblethorn would show up. There was something important that needed to be said.

Pebblethorn raced through the tree-filled area, bright, fast pelt weaving between the trees as she ran. Seh always was a fast-paced, speedy and sly cat, and so, she went with this. She was excited to speak with Silverstone- well, she always was. They were close friends and maybe even more than that! So, she approached her. "Hi, Silverstone!" She chirped happily.

Silverstone returned Pebblethorn's smile and gracefully leaped out of the tree. "Heyo," she answered before her face hardened and she turned her gaze to the ground. "Um...listen, there is something I really need to tell you." How could she do this without hurting feelings? Silverstone didn't know, so she just figured she'd go with the flow.

"Lay it on me," She purred, awaiting Silverstone's next words. Little did she know, sadness and pain lay before her.

Silverstone took a deep breath before meeting Pebblethorn's gaze. "Alright, listen. I know you and I have some sort of....a thing for each other. It's pretty obvious, but I don't recall ever talking to you about it very much, so that's what I wanted to do right now." She couldn't find a way to say it without crushing Pebblethorn. "I like you, Pebblethorn, but I'm into tom cats." That stung hard, really hard, and Silverstone flinched as she was the one receiving her words.

OOC- I am soooo sorry I didn't see this!

IC- What... What did she just say? Tell me I heard that wrong. She likes me, right? We;ve been friends forever- she wouldn't do this! especially with how close we've gotten, our relationship was just in bloom, and... No. She couldn't deny her words.
Pebblethorn's eyes softened, but a glare formed on her face a moment later. "And you didn't tell me this before, why, exactly?" She snapped, feeling crushed and heart broken. Heh. What a fool you are, Pebblethorn! Falling right into the paws of idiocy. No, no. She's the idiot- she loved you and spit you out like... Like... Like the foxheart she is. You fell right into her trap! 
"You couldn't have told me earlier, when I would taken it more lightly? When we weren't close yet? When... When..." Unknowingly, her claws were unsheathed, and her lips were curled in a snarl. It was like a sad anger. Her eyes were pricked with tears. That easy to spit me out, huh...?
