Once again the mice toppled onto the ground. The warrior quietly hissed in frustration as she bent down again and nudged the mice closer towards the pile. She wasn’t going to bother any more with trying to balance the mice on the top. It obviously wasn’t going to stay so there was no point in trying.
With a sigh, she turned away from the pile of prey and sat down in a quiet spot. She started grooming her fur, which was matted and muddied. It was mostly her paws, which were stained brown with the dust and the mud. Most of her pelt was neat and clean though, with the occasional knot. She tugged furiously at a particularly difficult knot and finally it came free. With a satisfied smile, Dazzlinggaze finished grooming the rest of her fur and soon enough, she was done.
With her fur now finished, the warrior lay down on her stomach and rested her chin on her paws. She closed her eyes and enjoyed a few moments of peace and quiet. Her silence was interrupted soon enough, as a familiar voice reached her ears. She opened one eye but was otherwise keeping still. She looked to the spot which was a few foxlengths away, and noticed a tom sitting not to far away from her. She studied him warily. He seemed somewhat familiar to her. If she really had interacted with her before, it wouldn’t be very hard to work out who he was. After all, Dazzlinggaze didn’t socialise. She only socialised when she was approached. And even that wasn’t very common. Most cats didn’t even know that she existed. Something seemed to click in her mind as she realised who he was. He was the cat who she’d talked to in RiverClan’s camp. What was his name again? Appledash wasn’t it? He was a nice tom, and strangely enough, she didn’t mind his company. Still, she hadn’t been very open with him on the other day, and she wasn’t planning on changing that. Exhaling, the she-cat closed her eyes once more and shut everything out.

A sudden familiar scent reached Appledash's nose. He lifted his head slightly, letting the scent enter his mouth, taking it in. He recognized it, but couldn't quite pinpoint exactly who it was. Looking around, he spotted a golden tabby feline walking across camp, curling in a shady corner of the camp. Dazzlinggaze! That's right! Her name entered his mind, and he immediately remembered their conversation they had had when Shadowclan had been forced to stay with Riverclan.
She looked lonely, and Appledash wondered if he should go talk to her. Last time he had tried that, she hadn't said much. But maybe she was just having a bad day because of the situation... She should feel better now. I know I am. So the tom got his paws and padded over to her, letting out a small purr. "Hey Dazzlinggaze! Um, not sure if you remember me, but I'm Appledash, we talked a few moons ago." His ears flicked back slightly in embarrassment at his lack of being able to explain who he was. But Appledash had never been the big talker.
