[nocturnal]

The large warrior stood near the edge of the gorge, tail lashing back and forth slowly in a restrained show of frustration. Gardening was useless and a waste of his time. Why he had even chosen to participate was a mystery. Instead of overseeing a group of kittens, he could've been doing something productive, like hunting. His time had been wasted, so it was necessary to make up for that.

Taking a step into one of the decidedly smaller dens, Talonstone looked around. All the lazy slugs were still hiding away in their nests. Pathetic. It was time for them to get their legs moving. Clan of shadows or not, they should still be up and ready to go by dawn. Of course, there would be a pawful of felines who were only pretending to be asleep. It was those cats who the warrior was expecting to attract.

"Apprentices!" he meowed loudly into the previously silent den. "Wake up - we are going hunting. Meet me near the edge of camp if you wish to come. Remember, your leader will not approve of laziness."
