That timid expression and then glee... Strike purrs happily- all thoughts of the sleepless silver warrior far from his mind in the moment. "Great, I'm glad we agree." Is said with a nondiscernable nod.
And then there's jumping, and a headbutt to his storm scarred shoulder - The tomcat grins at the excitement the other has; and joins in - but his own enjoyment crashes at the sudden crestfallen expression that Cloudfur has. "Nononononoooo don't do that!" He exclaims, "its okay! Be yourself, I don't mind. "
The warrior takes a cautious step closer to them, blue eyes soft and warm like robins eggs and blue jay feathers. "I'd love to hunt rabbits with you. If you don't mind?"

Taking the silence of TinyStar as - if not outright agreement then at least there would be consideration - he turns, "I am going to meet the kit." Is announced softly. After all, what sort of parent, erm, foster parent, would he be if he was absent? His hearts ache at the prospect; no, he would be here for everything. Well, as long as he is able and allowed.
There's shouting and he whips around ready for an attack before the knowledge of exactly what had been yelled was understood. His clanmate crying out in happiness about hunting rabbits. Whew. Safe. Embarrassed he takes a second to lick his already immaculate chest fur and resituate himself mentally - Even after all this time... it still gets to me.. is thought with a trace of bitterness, Surely it won't last forever? but he knows in his hearts that if he sleeps tonight he would have night terrors.
Fallen, as he prefers to be called, levels a look of extreme warmth at LeafCloud in gratitude for her simple acceptance and then follows her to the until-now vacant nursery. He sees the kit, inhales the milk and moss scent that screams of kit and abandonment - How long was he alone? Surely... he should have parents? Siblings? Someone who would love and miss him?
Cautiously he shielths his claws and lowers himself to his belly, hind legs tucked underneath his thin body, tail curled tightly to his side. "Hello." Is greeted, this time with a full smile (one that rarely graces his features). "My name is FallenRains. What is your name?" But before there's an answer he is hearing fear in that young voice. Seeing it - and rage coils in his gut, cold and welcoming - someone would pay for making his kit afraid. "No no, it's alright. " He offers that broken purr, stopping his paw from moving towards the orphan (just barely!) and from pulling Sandkit close. Would he even like that? It had been moons before he (FallenRains) had been willingly touched and it was still difficult at times. "It's alright. We aren't mad, not at all. You're safe." That whimper breaks his hearts; "We just wanted to know what you thought. It's alright. " this time he doesn't have it in himself to stop himself from pressing his nose to the kits' shoulder, still lying on his belly.
So what if LeafCloud didn't like his invasion of her personal space? "It's alright. We were just curious. Wanting to know what you thought." Is repeated softly, comfortingly. "Noone will hurt you here. You're safe."
