Grizzlybug pushed his way through the reeds beside the river, wasting time before he had to head back to camp. The day was a bit chilly, but his voluminous fur shielded the tom fairly well- about the only thing it was good for. He sighed as he glanced toward the water and watched the breeze ply with his reflection’s fluff as it ruffled the rippling surface. What kind of Riverclan cat was he? More like a walking dandelion. Except this fluff didn’t fly away in a stiff wind. Then again...
there were times during green-leaf when it kinda did...
Grizz shook his head and dashed a paw at the water with a grumble; he was about to move on when he noticed a flash from the depths before him. Perhaps he could bring home a fish- after all, fishing didn’t require swimming. The flash wasn’t a fish at all, though- rather a shiny stone. Interest piqued, Grizzlybug fished it out off of the riverbed and plopped it on the ground before him, shaking the moisture from his paw with a grimace.
The stone truly was a nice find. It sparkled with blue and white hues, and was much smoother to the touch than many other stones- courtesy of the river. Good mood restored, Grizz gingerly packed the rock in a leaf bundle and picked it up to take back to his collection; he couldn’t carry it in his mouth and get teeth marks and saliva all over it, gross. This stone might just be the peak of his collection! It definitely gleamed more brilliantly than any of the others.
