Tiny paws thrummed on the wet ground. The setting sun spread its ominous red light over the dew-soaked grass, the fog that seemed to swallow the forest in the early morning slowing taking over once more. Shadows moved through the undergrowth surrounding the moss trail - shapes, fur flattened by the chilly evening dew, slipping between the stems like water through reeds. Ears pricked, a snow white feline pricked her ears as she looked up at the tabby leading the way in front of her. Stonestrike had agreed to join her on a quick hunt in the forest before the clan settled in for the night, though Orchidpaw still wondered whether her brother had picked up on the fact that it wasn't hunting the young apprentice was looking to distract herself with. After all, Eagleheart had already made her do enough of that earlier in the day, and the young cat's paws still felt weary after it. "This is a good enough place," she breathed as they emerged in a clearing, tall trees hiding the final rays of the sun. The apprentice gave the place an experimental sniff, parting her jaws as the faint scent of mice and frogs crawling about reached her nostrils. Under different circumstances, she would be off in pursuit already, eager to feed her clan and impress her mentor, but now she found her green eyes straying away from the greenery surrounding her and focusing on Stonestrike. "We should probably get on with it," she mewed pointedly, closing the distance between them with a couple of slow, elegant steps. Her gaze flickered momentarily towards the maple trees lining the edges of the small glade. Making sure there was no fresh prey scent directly around them, because, what sort of apprentice would ignore that to catch up on gossip?, she returned her attention on her brother, this time eyes narrowed mischievously. "Unless of course there are other self-improvement activities you would like to indulge in with me." orchid ur trying so hard mate tags // lily / stonestrike ** |
