From the outside it might appear as though nothing was wrong. He was just sitting, after all - sitting pressed up against the corner of the clearing, beside a tree where he had sat several times. Without Acornflash there, and having not seen Owlwing in a while, life didn't feel quite as... what was the word... enjoyable, anymore. He missed his friends. And his interests. They were both interests of his, and he liked them both equally, and it was confusing to him as to what to do. But now Acornflash was missing. Gone. Forever. So that was clearer to Greystep. Maybe he should just spend some more time with Owlwing until this awful fear went away. The pounding inside his head was nothing short of a dull roar now, and the tom tried to calm himself. Life was okay. He was okay. Everything was fine. Calm swept over the tom, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Calm. It was good. It was good to be calm. And Greystep could feel a sense of serenity sweeping over him, even as he breathed evenly once more. At last, the calm was taking over his mind and the panicked sense was disappearing. Finally, the tom felt free. Now all that was left was to restore those broken pieces of his mind to wholeness again. Although that was easier said then done...

Owlwing sat in a rather secluded, but not particularly in the corner of the camp, but far enough away from other toms, and maybe.. just any cat in general. Peace and quiet, was what the white and black tabby she-cat wanted at the moment, just for a bit, chatting with friends, or something like that, could be a bit nice, but for now, she had peace, and just a little quiet. A songbird laid at the Egyptian Mau's paws, though Owlwing merely poked at it with a claw, not really interested in eating it at the moment, though she thought about doing it in a few moments. Just, let her thoughts carry, think deeply about things she wants to think about, stuff like that was what Owlwing was doing at the moment. Thinking, letting her thoughts drift, letting herself be calm and collected. To think of her family, her sister. Those thoughts came into her mind for a few moments, before disappearing into her mind. She was piecing her thoughts together, collecting her mind, organizing it most likely. Though on the outside, it looked like she was relaxing, settling down for the day.

Which, wasn't exactly the case. She shut her eyes for a moment, letting the early morning breeze, ruffle her fur, it was cool for now, and Owlwing always enjoyed a cool, but not too cold morning. And, it wasn't too warm, or cold, which was just right for her. She opened her golden amber optics, and let out a quiet, gentle, and content sigh, and glanced down at the songbird she picked from the pile. Her ears twitched, and slowly pulled her head down to take a small bite, she'd eat it slowly for now, savor the taste, enjoy it, and not gulp it down like some cats do. Owlwing wasn't exactly in a hurry, anyways. And why should she? She wasn't doing anything. And, it was early in the morning anyways. She could take her time all she liked.
