Honeysplash
'It's time I start making myself look good for the ladies,' Honeyplash thought, meticulously cleaning and sharpening his claws along a shed piece of hardwood. Part of him missed sharing a nest with his ex-mate, Snowyowl. They were still co-parenting their kits, Pollenpaw and Smokypaw. But, the romantic spark between them had died long ago.
Honeysplash knew he hadn't been the best romantic partner, and he butted heads more often than he should. But, he had given the relationship an earnest attempt. It'd been moons since they're separated, mostly amicably, but his heart still ached. 'Sometimes moving on to the next person is the best way to push forward.' He wasn't unused to heartbreak, or being the heartbreaker. He just needed to channel his old charm. He looked up, spotting Thornheart across the clearing. The tom was a kindred spirit, and was sorting through his own relationship issues. Even now, he could see a storm of thoughts swirling about his ears. Honeysplash called out to Thornheart, gesturing for him to come closer. "Need a chat with Mister Romance himself?" he joked, knowing his recent romantic woes were well known within the clan. "Or. at least the advice of somebody who's already messed up once."
Honeysplash
A deep purr rumbled in his throat, greeting Thornheart in turn. "Well, you've come to the right tom," he exclaimed. "I've had my share of romantic success, and I can certainly pass some of my wisdom on to you." Honeysplash knew of Finchsong, a polite she-cat with delicate features. She was a catch, but Thornheart was still a young tom. He deserved to explore his options. Rushing into a committed relationship was a waste of youth, in Honeysplash's opinion.
"Oh Thornheart," he rumbled. "You deserve the very best Skyclan has to offer! I'm certain you and Finchsong would make an excellent couple. However ..." he trailed off, a dramatic sparkle in his eye. "Relationships are a lot of work, trust me. Our feelings of infatuation ebb and flow like the ocean. You might feel this way now, but after you chase Finchsong for a couple moons you may feel differently. So, I wouldn't suggest getting too bogged down by the whole 'commitment' thing." He stood, giving Thornheart and affectionate bump in the rump. "You're a strapping young tom after my own heart. Enjoy your youth, and don't let that bee-hived head of yours buzz with too many worries. If you're not feeling the relationship, you can always back out. After all, every cat is different in their own delightful way." He rolled his eyes in an exaggerated fashion, "Oh they'll moan and groan about having their 'heart broken' or whatever. But they always move on. It's a shame to limit yourself in an unsatisfactory relationship just because others thing it's the 'right' or 'sensitive' thing to do."

His mind was currently elsewhere for the past couple of days, Thornheart forgot what day it was for crying out loud since Beedrop had mentioned about Finchsong possibly having feelings for him after observing the two during an outing. The main question went through his mind: Was his best friend in love with him? The brown tabby had so many thoughts going through his head, would it be right to become lovers with his best friend in the entire world? Or would in the end in disaster as he would not only lose Finchsong as a lover but his partner in crime. Of course he tried going to his parents for advice but he had no words to say as he was stuck in his thoughts. There were moments in which Thornheart felt those butterflies in his stomach or felt himself looking at her in awe.. But he just didn’t know what to do.
It wasn’t until he heard pawsteps approaching and he quickly turned to look towards his uncle, Honeysplash. Ah yes, his favorite uncle. The ginger tom would practically let Thornheart and his siblings get away with anything, so long as Firestar and Auroraskies didn’t know about his mischievous ways. He remembered when they were kits, Honeysplash took Scorchkit and Thornkit to jump off a cliff and into a lake.. He wouldn’t forget the heart failure that both of his parents had, and how both siblings were grounded for nearly a moon and were basically under house arrest after that. Was uncle Honeysplash the most reliable cat? It was questionable, but Thornheart knew that his advice was the best!
“Uncle Honey!” Thornheart greeted the older tom warmly, bumping his head on his uncle's shoulder. The brown Maine Coon was quite an affectionate feline with his family and loved ones. His amber eyes widened. “It’s that obvious?” He questioned, a frown appearing on his lips before letting out a small sigh “I don’t know, I feel like Finchsong and I would be a good couple.. But I feel like I would somehow mess up, she doesn't deserve someone like me! She’s so sweet and amazing, the way that she smiles and laughs.. An overall great gal..” Thornheart said, suddenly snapping out his thoughts before looking at the tom
“I need help, I don’t know what to do.” Thornheart groaned, needing some proper advice from his uncle.
