Curlypaw looked at Firestone as he walked over to her, glad that someone was willing to join her. It would have been really embarrassing if no one had joined. But he was a warrior who seemed genuinely interested and apparently wanted to go, so she wasn't worried. And now that he was here, a few more cats would probably come. She smiled half-heartedly back and nodded in response.
"Thanks! You can come. We can leave as soon as one or two more cats join us," she replied, sounding pleased. Turning to face camp, she waited for anyone else to come forward. But then the one cat in the clan that she hated most stepped up to them. She suppressed a growl as Willowpaw purred sweetly and practically invited herself. Who did she think that she was? Why was she just acting nice and pretending like she hadn't ruined her life? It must be some sort of trick to try to see how she was doing. But at least if it was, she would have proof of it. There was no use in not letting her join, and she would be seen as a fox-heart if she didn't.
"Fine, Willowpaw. You can come on a patrol. But I can take care of myself," Curlypaw retorted. To anyone else, she probably looked as if she was getting angry about a nice comment, but to her, she was being nice than she should be.
