Raven padded out of her dark, musty den and into the sunlight. She hated lying around in that den, she'd much rather be out hunting, or even cave guarding, something. "Hey Raven!" Called Boulder, "Do you want to come on a walk with me?" "Yes but... aren't you on cave duty?" "Wren said he would take my place for a while, but I understand if you don't..." "No, no, it's fine. Let's go!" As she turned to walk past the camp entrance, she could have sworn she saw Wren wink at Boulder, as if egging him on about something...
Raven ran ahead and yelled for Boulder to catch up, "Come on you slow poke, are you telling me a strong cave guarder like you can't beat a skinny ol' she-cat like me?" she taunted. "Oh no, I wouldn't dare try." And with that, he sped up and past her. "Oh no you didn't!" She called, laughing, and she sped forward.
When she finally caught up with him he was sitting down near a big rock, grooming himself. "So what were you saying back there?" he laughed. Out of breath she puffed sarcastically, "How wonderful and great you were, even though no one could be greater than the great Raven!" "Whatever." he smiled. Raven jumped down laughing and they tumbled into a wide patch of grass. "I'm glad we're friends." he crooned. "But I'd like to be more than friends. " She jumped up, "I, I, I..." "I'm sorry, I understand." and he ran away.
