{For Enchantedwinter and Talonstrike to become friends, gonna set this for after the arranged marriage announcement and her and Silverfury have become mates)
Enchantedwinter
Winterclan Soldier
My biggest fear is that eventually you will see me the way that I see myself
It had been only a few days since Wintrystar had announced the pairings for the arranged marriages and Enchantedwinter had been herded into a cave to spend twenty four hours with the tom chosen for her, Silverfury. That experience alone had caused a panic attack to grip her like never before, she didn't understand why the Sovereign had paired her with someone who so openly despised any cat who did not carry Winterclan blood in their veins, it made her wonder and begin to believe that she had done something to deserve the cruelty she was now receiving.
Enchantedwinter was sitting beside the pool of water in the center of the main cavern, her blue eyes trained on her reflection in the water. She lifted a paw to her throat gently, still able to remember the feeling of her 'mates' claws digging into her skin during their first encounter; her body shuddered and she lowered her paw back down, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to block the memory.

Talonstrike had wandered into the main cavern in hopes of finding his sister. The silver somali tabby let out a soft sigh when he could not find the familiar chestnut coat of Flickeringflames. His tail lashed very slightly before it settled back down. The large tom could never stay annoyed for long periods of time. Especially when it came to his younger sister. His ears twitched slightly when he caught sight of Enchantedwinter. Like him, she had been one of the cats selected in a series of arranged marriages. Talonstrike tilted his head to the side as he watched her. Something seemed... wrong. He could feel it as he slowly made his way over to her. The large silver tom cat cleared his throat slightly, alerting her to his presence as he didn't want to alarm her by his sudden appearance
While his throat clearing had been a thoughtful gesture in trying not to frighten her it did just that, as soon as the sound reached her she felt her body jump and her eyes opened landing on Talonstrike. "I'm sorry!" It was out before she even had a chance to really see who had approached, her mind automatically thinking it was Silverfury. "O-oh, hi Talonstrike." She was tense with her greeting, but offered the tom a weak and obviously fake smile all while her eyes danced around them waiting for her intended to appear out of nowhere.

Talonstrike's hazel green eyes flashed suspiciously at her reaction. He took a few steps backwards, out of respect for her space as he made himself appear smaller. He never liked standing at his full height. It seemed to intimidate others sometimes, and this definitely seemed like a good time to appear smaller. He looked at Enchantedwinter with a worried gaze as he tilted his head. The silver tabby stayed where he was, a question dancing in his eyes as he tried to hold her gaze. He would only move forward and sit by her if she was okay with the idea. Whatever happened to the she-cat it seemed to greatly shake her up and scare her.
Enchantedwinter managed to stop her gaze from flickering around when Talonstrikes backward movement caught her attention, she felt a tinge of guilt knowing it had been her who caused the slight retreat, she needed to calm down and pull herself together but that was much easier said than done. She locked eyes with him for a moment, just long enough to see the worry and then looked down at his paws. "I thought you were someone else." She admitted with embarrassment burning her ears, turning back to the water she patted the ground beside her with her tail, a silent invitation.

The silver tabby made sure to approach Enchantedwinter slowly as she invited him to sit beside her. He kept a respectful distance between the pair, wanting to give the she care her space. For a while he stared at his reflection in the water of the cavern’s pool before his eyes danced over to the mirrored image of the she-cat. Her eyes looked sad. Now that he looked more closely her entire body held a melancholic air to it. He curled his bushy tail around his paws as he continued to crouch down in an effort to make himself smaller. Talonstrike wasn’t sure if it was his place to ask, or if she even wanted to tell the tom what made her eyes shine with despair. Instead, he returned his gaze to his reflection in the pool before taking a breath. “This is the first time I’ve been to this pool.” The large tom hardly spoke, but when he did his deep voice tumbled within his chest. “It is truly beautiful. A good place for quiet meditation, or self-reflection. Though I hear they are both one in the same.”
Enchantedwinter didnt move as he crouched at her side, she normally had little issue talking to others but she was far more shaken lately and it was having an incredibly negative effect on her. There remained a silence between them, stretching out like the water in front of them and while unable to hide the emotion in her eyes she felt something in her relax, but only just. There was no tension or anger coming from Talonstrike as he spoke, and without realizing it she was adding onto what he had said. "I like it here, the water is so peaceful, and even when it that peace falters it always returns" She dipped her paw in the pool and watched the water ripple out before calming once more. "See, it makes it look so easy."

The silver tabby nodded as he watched the rippling water slowly relax into its original calm state. "I enjoy the quiet." He said in his deep voice. The tom straightened up a bit, taking a deep breath as he allowed the silence to fall over them. It wasn't necessarily an awkward silence nor was it deafening. Rather it was calm. Talonstrike let out a soft exhale as he crouched down once more. "The quiet can be peaceful as well. Depending on where you are. Here? Here it is a calm silence. Welcoming, and comforting."
The blue/grey she-cat nodded in agreement, unbeknownst to her, she was beginning to calm down and as her angst began to fade a little smile appeared. She looked at the large tom, his size was similar to Silverfurys' but his aura was the opposite so she felt no need to be cautious of the tom beside her. "Um... Talonstrike.. Will you go for a walk with me?" She wanted to go out, but had been to afraid to go anywhere alone and something in her trusted him.

The silver somali flicked his ears at her request. He turned to look at her and smiled gently. "I would be honored to, Enchantedwinter." He said with a small dip of his head. Talonstrike rose to his paws, still being mindful of the space between them. The large tom looked towards the mouth of the cavern before he looked back at her. "Was there somewhere you had in mind? Or shall we wander and see where we land?"
Enchantedwinter waited for him to stand and then followed suit, stretching her legs a little before standing to her full height which was nothing compared to Talonstrikes. "See where we land?" It was more a question than anything, almost as if she were asking him if that was okay. "Um, your mate wont mind you being gone will she?" Worried more about that than how her own would react to this small outing, she assumed as long as she didnt show herself then everything would be fine.

Talonstrike merely shook his head. “Edelweissbloom won’t mind. The two of us are still getting to know each other.” The large tabby admitted. “But, yes. See where we land. My mother used to say that to my sister and I when she took us out of camp.” He explained, his eyes shimmering at the happy memory of his small family excursion with his mother and sister. “What if your mate? I noticed that you were another cat chosen for the arranged marriage. Will they mind if we walk together?”
Enchantedwinter smiled knowing that the she-cat he had been paired with wouldnt mind, it seemed that Talonstrike had been given a mate that he could be happy with. She had started to walk to the camps exit but her paws froze in place when he turned her question back to her. "Oh, um.. I dont think S-silverfury will mind, he should be happy as long as I stay out of his way." The last bit had slipped out without her permission, and once again she was visibly shaking despite her attempt to hide it. "Ah, I mean... What I meant was..." there was no other meaning, and in the moment she couldn't think of anything to say that would fix her blunder.

Talonstrike flicked his ears. He didn't say anything after her omission, his hazel-green eyes watching her sympathetically. That was the thing with arranged marriages. They weren't always ideal. The large silver tabby briefly laid his tail over her shoulder before he quickly removed it. Though the touch was meant to be comforting, it might not seem that way for Enchantedwinter. Instead, he offered her a gentle smile. "It's alright." He rumbled. "Do not fret so over a question that will only serve to cause you discomfort."
