The silver tom's gaze darkened as Goldensong seemed to react negatively to his words. He found he always had to put so much effort in to tiptoeing around her feelings, and he wished he could just toss her aside already. If she was this sensitive over a small slip of the tongue, then how would she react if he was actually honest with her? He swallowed hard, drawing a steadying breath before he spoke again. "Come on, Goldensong," he hummed, "You misunderstood; you know I'd never say anything to hurt you." His mood seemed to shift dramatically, then, as she composed herself. Her excitement over him brought a smile to his face, his eyes glowing as he tipped his head to the side.
"I know," he purred as she admitted she'd missed him. "I promise I'll try to make more time for us; you're important to me, you know." His chest swelled as she said she couldn't wait for what he had planned. Eyes crinkling with his smirk, a purr erupted in his chest. "You'll see in just a minute," he soothed, leaning over to nudge her gently with his cheek. "We're almost there." He continued on his way, tail waving proudly behind him. They rounded a bend in the path, and came upon a clearing in the trees. "Look," he murmured, poking his nose toward a small patch of white flowers, hardly visible against the fresh layer of snow that covered the forest floor. "Don't touch them; they're poisonous," he warned, "But they're pretty, aren't they?"
He seemed far too proud of himself for this discovery; he was so sure Goldensong would appreciate his genius just as much as he did. "A kittypet told me they're called Christmas roses. Her twolegs have some in their garden; I knew I had to bring some here as soon as I saw them," he explained, flashing a smile at his companion. "They bloom during leafbare. It gets so boring out here when there's nothing green," he complained, breathing a slow sigh.

Her green eyes widened at his words, ears pinned back to her head as her fluffy tail tucked between her legs. Goldensong didn’t like this, seeing this side of the male in front of her. Opening her mouth in shock, the spotted molly wasn’t quite sure what to say. “I’m.. I’m sorry.” The young warrior whispered softly, a hurt expression on his face. The molly couldn’t help but feel an incredible amount of guilt. How could she doubt his loyalties when Daffodilpool had such good intentions towards her?
“Can we pretend this happened..? Start all over and just enjoy this..?” She pleaded with him, not wanting to ruin the date any further with her stupid actions. Goldensong didn’t deserve Daffodilpool, she was too sensitive with her feelings and needed to stop being insecure it seemed. Letting out a small sigh, her tail lashed in frustration before getting up and beckoning her head towards the white roses “Let’s just enjoy this night.. Please.” She muttered before looking at the flowers, and went towards them.
Once seeing the gray tom sitting next to her at the corner of her eye, a frown appeared on her face when looking down “I just wanted to say.. Thank you for tonight, even if I ruined it.” She muttered before turning to him with a frown on her face, Goldensong hoped that he forgave her. She wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if he couldn’t find it in her heart.
