She was... Bored. Out everything that be could happening, Hailpaw was bored. Great. She could be much more productive right now, like going out training and working on her battle and hunting skills, or even clean some nests but, no. Instead she was sitting in the clearing doing nothing. Rather discouraged, the apprentice sigh and started to look round. It was unlikely, but maybe she could find something to do or.. Anything, actually. Yet as it seemed, that 'anything' turned to surprise, thoughts and many other feelings that rushed to her as her gaze fell upon one specific cat.
Was she imagining things? Was she wrong? She must be-- but then again, they'd have to be literal clones of one another for that to be true. It was a real cat too. A strange feeling she couldn't quite describe, nor wanted to describe, enveloped her as the thought struck her. From her position, she hesitated, but still got up and slowly made her way up to the cat. Yes, there was no denying, it was her.
"Weaselskip..?" she asked, glancing up to the familiar molly. There were.. A lot of questions she wanted to ask, and even things she wanted to do. Like hug her, and for some reason scold her, as Hailpaw had truthfully been worried about her, and missed her. But she had to keep it together, it might only be a bother to the other after all.
"where were you? --and are alright?" She asked, flicking her tail out of pure habit and truthfully something she always did when wanting a honest and clear answer. She wanted to know.
"you left so suddenly.. Did you get lost? Or caught maybe? I suppose it hasn't been to long but-- but still." As much as she wouldn't want to have shown it, her voice wavered just slightly somewhere between her words. And despite at that point still thinking Weaselskip hadn't left intentionally, there was a faint hint of anger she couldn't suppress either to the end of her words. as stated before, she had just been.. Worried, really, and the thought of the older molly leaving her suddenly just like her mother had done did cross her mind now and then. Even if her mother may not have chosen to. Quite frankly, she had no idea what happened to her, either of them, one day they just.. Disappeared.
