As soon as they came closer, the scent of water and fish was replaced by the sweetness that always lingered around the queens and sleepiness came over Mintkit.

Slatestripe was looking around, as if he was searching for something or someone. When amber eyes turned to her, she realize that he was waiting for her to go ahead and probably find her nest. Mintkit padded slowly along the sedge walls, the willow branches tickling at her back fur, and headed straight to her resting spot. She had decorated it with colorful flowers, soft feathers and pretty shells, and she never forgot to replace the ruined or flat parts with newer ones.

After swiveling around a couple times, she crouched satisfyingly at the center of her nest and let out a light purr of delight. She guessed that Slatestripe would now go to do his warrior duties, but Mintkit could see that he wasn't still completely satisfied. She wondered what else he was looking for, here.
