"Do you see any poppies out here?" Hareflood returned, gaze sweeping over the plains. There wasn't much going on here and he was itching to change that - to do something. Clan duties were a boring obligation, and breaking from that and the watchful eyes was a temporary relief. They couldn't see him out here, they didn't know.

Hareflood had followed Sunpopy onto one of the stumps, doing his best to arch his back to make himself look bigger. Stronger, powerful. The world was beneath him now and trembled before him. "Just imagine, one day we'll be above all those losers back at camp." They would be at their mercy - and Hareflood would give them none.

He hissed sharply at the sound of pawsteps, bristling his fur when Sunchaser came into sight. Of course he had to show up - why wouldn't he come to steal Sunpoppy away? Hareflood forced his fur to lie flat but did not relax, clumsily stepping down from the stump to sulk sourly as Sunpoppy's attention went to his real friend. The childhood buddy, the one he preferred over the outsider that didn't belong.

While the two talked, he withdrew himself, finding leaves from a bush by the edge of the field he could stomp on the ground into a pulp. He could be cool too! Chaser wasn't the only one here who could smash plants into the snow.

If only leaves were just as impactful as flowers. It just left a bitter taste in his mouth, and he angrily scuffed snow over the leaves he mangled.
