(Sorry guys! Here it is ^^)

It had been far too long since the elder queen had taken a walk, stretched her legs and inhaled the fresh forest air. Too much had been happening; between Shadowclan finally settling back down since flood, the battle at seastones, the cut she had managed to get across her flank. Starclan, how she didn't leave the den moons because of that. Thankfully it was healing without any sign of infection and Cedartuft took it upon herself to take a walk by herself to clear her mind. The forest was alive with many smells. Prey, clanmates, plant life. Inhaling once more, she slowly lowered herself onto her hind legs until her bottom was flat against the dirt. Quiet. How she missed it. It wasn't like she disliked being a queen, no no, in fact it was her only goal in life! Just... it was nice to sometimes get away from squeals of play and attention.

Her claws extended into the hard leaf-bare earth, scratching away dirt and leaf debris as a cold breeze shook her as hard as the trees around her. Thankfully her coat was thick and warm, preventing the her bones from chilling. Sniffing wildly as the breeze rolled in, Cedartuft couldn't help but purr softly as the scent of her kits rolled with the breeze. They must be out hunting or patrolling! Perhaps they would come to her? She was almost certain that they knew her scent even better than she knew theirs.
