Eyes closing tighter as if refusing to accept the sun's wake up call, a tortoiseshell found themselves unable to return to sleep. It was too bright for them. Sure, it was only sunrise, but Mottledshade was a light sleeper and found it always difficult to fall back asleep once they wakes up, especially if it is during the say. Finally, they accepted that it was time to get up. Mottledshade lifted his head and his pale gaze scanned the den. They first noticed that Larixsplash was still sleeping, curled up next to them. Their mate had gotten a growth-spurt a few moons ago and now the nest felt a little too crowded. They loved him, but it was a bit uncomfortable trying to sleep now - though the growth-spurt had occurred before they were mates, but they were sure that this wouldn't be much of a problem if he was still as big as when he was an apprentice.

The second thing they noticed was the warrior who had been awaiting the sun's arrival. "Good morning Speartooth," the tortoiseshell offered a tired smile to the tom. The shy warrior tilted their head as they wondered what Speartooth was thinking about, but was always hesitant to actually get into conversations due to their shyness. But they were curious. And wanted an excuse to stay in their nest for just a little while longer. "Is something wrong? ... It seems like you are waiting for something? Are you expecting anything?"
