Wrensong kept his ears pricked as he searched the forest floor.

Something rustled a ways from him, and the mousy-brown tom turned abruptly.

'What was that?' he wondered aloud.

His tail waved in the air for a few heartbeats as he scanned his surroundings.

Weird... Wrensong mused, before continuing.

"Better not confuse the flower patch for Wasplight's marigold patches, or he'll claw my ears off-" he chuckled to himself.

Drawing the scent over his tongue, Wrensong looked over the slope to find a patch of yellow flowers.

He bounded down carefully, petals scattering in his wake.

Slowly he crouched down and started the hunt for the biggest, brightest flower he could find...for Flickerflight.

I hope she won't take this as too much of a gesture... Wrensong worried.

He had been friends with the she-cat for a few moons now, and he hoped his crush wasn't too obvious.

He plucked a large lily from the grass, only to discover a wilting petal.

No. It has to be perfect. he resolved, casting the lily aside.

Settling on a large daisy, he lifted his head and shook out the pollen and flower petals.

I hope she'll like it, he thought, feeling his pelt grow warmer as he turned back to camp.
