From what he could see now was a bright yellow sun shining down onto the grass and a gentle breeze shifting through the grasses of the camp - it was a relaxing, almost beautiful sight to behold. Without wasting anymore time thinking about the matter, Shadepaw strolled outside all the way this time and uttered a gentle purr, feeling the warm sun and the cooling breeze sweeping over him and grazing his skin and fur alike. It would certainly make for a good source of weather for a walk and maybe a small hunt, if he could find anything worth catching in the process. “For now though, I’ll just relax here in camp and head out when the sun is higher in the sky..” He decided with a small smile resting on his muzzle, strolling over to the freshkill pile that was positioned around the center of the clan’s clearing. It took a moment, but the young apprentice soon choose a small sparrow to eat, leaving the larger, more plumper of catches to the hardworking warriors and busy queens that deserved it far more than he did right now. That was important to the black-furred tomcat, to make sure the older, more deserving cats got meals that could satisfy their hunger after a long day. Nonetheless, Shadepaw was content with just a mere sparrow to start off this day and soon found himself taking a shaded spot underneath a tree, in which it’s branches swayed in the wind in an almost welcoming manner as he curled his tail beside him in the soft grass. Out of the corner of his eye, Shadepaw could see some cats leaving for patrol and others making their way to have prey with their loved ones. It was a nice scene laid out before him and for once, the apprentice felt peace within the forest around him as he took a first bite of the bird, uttering a small purr in the process of doing so.

tumbling out of the nursery came a small, brown bundle of fur, tripping over her own paws with eyes the size of the moon, the honey-golden hue sparkling in the early morning light. usually, she was never up this early, but flaxkit hated being the last cat awake. it wasn't her first time out of the nursery, but oh did she love the scenery of their camp. it had to be the best one, right? the way the sunlight splash over the scene, giving it a warm, soft glow was something that flaxkit held very near and dear to her heart. she stopped a minute, taking in a breath so deep her chest puffed out, her fluffy kitten fur still puffed up and messy from recent rest despite how awake she looked at the moment. tilting her head to the side, she glanced around the clearing, a smile still tracing her maw as she took it all in like it was the first time she was seeing it. the fresh-kill pile in the centre, cats conversing and milling about as they began to awaken to serve their duties to the clan. it didn't matter if flaxkit had seen it a thousand times, she would always love taking in the sights. as her amber eyes scanned the clearing once more, she stood a little taller as she saw a familiar dark tomcat resting in the shade with a piece of prey between his paws. flaxkit almost fell flat on her face as she found herself bounding over.
" shadepaw! " she mewed, the name rolling off her tongue with the familiarity, practically skidded to a stop next to him, voice ecstatic but still soft with slight sleepiness, " long time no see! "
