Roseraven was very surprised at her own catches. She supposed her hunting wasn't as bad as she thought. And nothing went wrong, that was weird!

"Honestly I don't think I need anything. The reward was just getting to help out the clan-" she stopped herself. Did they even deserve her help? They hated her so much, but...Mudhound didn't hate her, right?

Amidst the incoming wave of angst, Roseraven didn't notice the remaining berries on the ground and stepped right in with her back leg, slipping and somehow managing to fall on her back right into them.

"Why am I not even surprised?"

Mudhound was still half in a puppy play bow, tail wagging wildly when Roseraven had her mini meltdown. It earned a head cock, the warrior faintly confused why she was being so.... Humble(?) then why she was acticing kinda funky and stepping in the berries. Yeah Mudhound didnt really understand panic attacks, at all. They could identify bad emotions when it was occurring but anxiety and short panics were so foreign to them, something they never encountered, they didnt get it.



The berry stepping earned a light giggle though, and the warrior stood, padding over to gently headbutt the other warriors shoulder as they looked at the mess. "Well that was silly! Youre a bit of a silly Rosey, I like it though!" The large warrior sat with a thump, attempting to softly hook the berry splattered paw closer to their lowered head to inspect. "An' I know its good to help the clan. They'll love this and thats my reward! But you won so you should get an extra reward thats not just something that I get too! Plus its fun, for you and me. You get something nice and I get to see my friend being happy!"



They hummed, looking at the splattered paw and giggling kinda stupidly. "Lemme groom it, maybe it wont stain your paw. Plus berries are kinda tasty. And we can chat over something you'd like! Do you like feathers, or cool rocks? Or shiny twoleg stuff or bones? Im sure I can find something if you give me an idea."

Despite Roseraven's chronic bad luck, she didn't feel too sour. Probably because Mudhound was there, though she'd never admit it. The warrior stood up. Uuuuhhhggghhh, these berries would probably take a while to wash out. At least they were purple and not red. Roseraven couldn't bear appearing in camp covered in red again...

Mudhound's positivity could be frustrating, but it was also somewhat infectious. Roseraven wouldn't describe herself as silly, although she supposed all the stuff that happened to her on a daily basis was funny, in a schadenfreude kind of way. Though she knew Mudhound was not mocking her. The leader's sibling really seemed to consider her a friend. Despite all the warm feelings that incited, there was also a pit of anxiety festering in her mind. Roseraven wasn't a good person. She was such a terrible person, in fact, that she'd managed to deceive Mudhound inti thinking she was someone worth befriending.

The warrior pushed down her thoughts, trying to remain in the conversation.
"I think the paw is the lesser issue, I have some on mu back somehow. I can manage, though, even if I'm a bit stained, I just need to remove the berry goop. As for a prize, hmmmmm...I'm not sure. I suppose bones are cool. Amd skulls. I've never fully cleaned one out. Or, you know, just a pretty flower if bones are too gross." She said as she groomed her shoulder, twisting awkwardly.

Bumblestar snorted. "I just don't wanna keep Drizzlecloud waiting."

She led the way out of the camp entrance, through the thick of the territory, around the old camp, until she came to a stop at the top of the slope that dipped down into what formed Willow's Rise. Her gaze flickered over the area. There were no fresh graves to be seen; everything was mostly covered in new growth - grass, ferns, flowers.

It was refreshing to see, honestly.

Exhaling quietly, Bumblestar stepped down, letting her paws settle into the soft grass. "That's ragweed," she said, nodding at the pointy, fern-like plants bunched up around the roots of the weeping willow. "It's a good strength-booster if you eat it. Doesn't taste too good, though, I imagine. Let's grab some of this and head back."

DawnShred and FallowReed made their way out of camp. DawnShred smirked, chuckling to himself, despite being in trouble. He had gotten FallowReed in trouble, just how he had planned!

FallowReed's tail drooped. She hadn't realized she would get in so much trouble. How could she be so naive? She should have know that DawnShred was up to no good, he was never looking out for others!


DawnShred looked around, checking for prey-scent.

Aha! A rabbit was yaknow, doing rabbit things.

He dropped into a hunting crouch, not bothering to get FallowReed's help. Someone so naive would probably just scare off all the prey.

He scanned the terrain between him and the rabbit, noticing a few brittle sticks that he would have to avoid.

He stalked forwards, narrowly avoiding the sticks and easily catching the rabbit

FallowReed took a moment to acknowledge that they were near the grave site, and dipped her head.

After that, she looked around, noticing a small crow on a rock near-by.

Testing the winds, she smiled, the wind blowing her scent away from the crow. Hopefully that wouldnt change.

She dropped into a hunting crouch, stalking forwards.

She leapt, catching it, with a bit of a struggle.


After the two finished hunting, they met up and made their way back to camp.
