Moon the Legendary wrote:Thorntail's eyes sparkled with delight, but had as serious face to match his love's. "No it doesn't! Hey, do you want to take it slow for now? You're a new warrior." He meowed, teasing look in his eyes as he twined his half-tail with Russetleap's. He then put his ears back and nodded to Darkstar. "Yes sir."
Russetleap couldn't conjure up enough guts to murmur a response to Thorntail, not after Darkstar snapped at the two. Instead, she smiled feebly, locking eyesight, and shaking her head. Reluctantly she untwined her tail from his. It felt odd being so far away from the warrior. Though, her stomach lurched as Darkstar pulled them up, she'd never been afraid of their leader before, but for some reason, she was now. She bounded after him, stopping dead in her tracks as he caught the mouse, not wanting to distract him. She then continued on, and came to face a fluffy white rabbit; one that seemed oddly familiar. Quickly she shook the thought from her mind, and crouched down low in order to stalk it. Once she was close enough, she leapt on it's back, and killed it with a clean bite. My first fresh-kill as a warrior... She thought, eyes gleaming as she buried it near Darkstar's.
Fireleaf nodded briskly to his friend, and then bounded out of camp in the direction they were told to. A new, strange scent pricked at his nostrils, and he motioned for Stormtooth to join him with a flick of his tail. "Can you smell that?" He whispered, parting his maw to take in a clear scent. It wasn't dog, nor fox, nor badger. Not even one of their Clan cats. He continued to ponder, wondering what in the name of Star Clan, it could be.
Rootclaw lead the patrol where it was they were told, marked the borders, and caught a vole, and two mice. Once they had all found enough, they began to make their way back to camp.
