Swiftpaw
Sitting in the camp clearing, Swiftpaw let his gaze wander. Past Sunwing, sitting outside the medicine den, away from Frostsight, who had seated herself on a rock below the ledge where Dreamstar held clan meetings, and out of camp altogether. He let his green eyes drift over the landscape, then move up to the sky. It was a beautiful day; the sky was a brilliant blue, marred only by a few wispy clouds. It was slightly humid out, but there was a faint breeze to compensate. It ruffled his black and white fur, as if urging him somewhere. Pushing against him, telling him to get to his paws and do something. Lounging in the sun wasn't helping anycat. But, Swiftpaw mused, bringing his gaze back down to earth, what was there to do? Hunting was an option... but he doubted he would be allowed to go off alone. Foxes and badgers were an ever-growing problem, encroaching more and more onto TideClan's territory. A scrawny apprentice like himself would be easy prey. There was nocat to take him training at the moment, and no patrols running. It seemed almost as if the clan was at a standstill.
Swiftpaw got to his paws, finally obliging the insistent breeze. He would find something to do. Anything was better than being idle -it was harder to keep the thoughts out when his brain was unoccupied. They had a way of creeping in when he was most unawares, as unshakeable as his own shadow. He shook his head in an attempt to clear it.
The young black and white tom was on his feet now, but still no opportunities presented themselves. The apprentice felt his tail beginning to twitch behind him -it seemed he would have to take the initiative.
(Pointless post is pointless. xD Nothing much to say. Oh, and Swiftpaw needs a mentor. C:)
