| Mousepaw |
So intently was the apprentice looking at the warriors' den for any warrior that might leave it, that Mousepaw completely missed the first warrior that left its safety. A voice sounding to his side, Mousepaw looked up, verdant eyes round for a moment until he caught sight of the warrior's smile, instantly returning it with a goofy grin of his own. Getting up, bouncing on the tip of his toes, the young tom realized this was his chance! What he had been waiting for. A warrior! Yes yes! And he looked so nice, too! Victory!
"Hello hello! How do you do! I am doing good good, yes! Just waiting waiting. For someone to go out! Because! Because. Being stuck in camp..." At this, Mousepaw looked to his left and to his right, conspiratorially lowering his voice to a whisper as he brought a paw to his face, almost as if to guide the words solely to his companion.
"It gets... boring."
No sooner had the words left the apprentice's maw did his eyes grow rounder, realizing what he'd just said.
Gasp! Rapidscorch was going to think he was always bored now! Oh nooo! What if Shader and Wrenny heard that, and then they thought he thought they were boring! No no no, he had to fix it. Puffing out his chest, his voice a few octaves higher in pitch, he quickly amended his statement, bouncing left and right with each word in his urgency to speak.
"But! But only sometimes! Not all the times. No no. Just when there is nothing else to do!" Mousepaw mewed, a look of relief on his face. There. Now it was factually correct and in no way being able to be misinterpreted and potentially make Shader and Wrenny cry. Well. Make Wrenny cry. Shader was more likely to stare. Or glare. Heh heh.
