He was hanging around the edge of camp, peering into a bush that frolicked on the outside of the clearing and looking entirely busy with it, trying to determine if the smell coming from the foliage belonged to a rather stinky fungus, or if a pungent and infested rat had recently crawled into the bush to die. It was a disgusting and intriguing smell, but it had rained a lot lately, so he was beginning to lean toward the more mushroomy conclusion. He was nosing about in the bracken, poking his paws between its sharp and thorny branches in a vain attempt to reach whatever revolting item hid inside its prickly palace. His tail twitched curiously in his wake. @lykolove!

Asterpaw rolled onto her belly, stretching as she tried to shake the sleepy feeling out of her. She'd been lying just outside of the apprentice's den, trying to catch some sunlight and relax. When she opened her eyes up, she spotted a tail she thought looked familiar near the edge of camp. She narrowed her eyes a little, thinking, as the tom kept rustling in the bush. Oh... It's my mentor, huh? We haven't done anything yet... I'd rather keep resting, but I have to do this eventually... She picked herself up off the ground and padded quietly over to Quailstep, waiting for him to notice her presence.
