Buckbranch was, decidedly, totally bored out of his mind.
Normally, he loved Gatherings, and if he was still deputy, he would have gladly taken his place below the leaders and payed attention to what they had to say, and how they did it, because one day he would have to do that to.
But he wasn't deputy, and so he figured he didn't have to pay attention, unless something either interesting or important came up. He settled down near a small patch of raspberry bushes, tail flipping to-and-fro.
Orange fur caught his eye, and he looked over to see Sunshine padding towards him. A flame of nervousness sparked in his chest, though he wasn't entirely sure why.
I mean, we made up, right? So... why do I feel like something is going to happen? It was a stupid thought, but he was thinking it anyway. He gave Sunshine a smile, hoping it was convincing enough to cover up the emotions tumbling around in his brain. The last thing he needed was someone else holding his problems on their shoulders.
"Hey, Sunshine."
