RiverClan Territory

[See you guys at the camp!]

As Sandwhisker and her fellow warrior exited the camp, the sandy-orange tabby flared her nostrils as she smelt the surrounding forest. The snow was nearly completely melted and everything smelt crisp and clean. The river rushed in the distance and this caused the female to be very happy. At his question, she cocked her head and commented, "Could be... But I think much of the fish died during leaf-bare. We have to hope they respawn soon."

[Fawn]

Fawnsqueak shrugged, internally debating the answer and coming up short since he didn't know what else they could do without stretching themselves too thin around RIverClan. For Sootflare, his options were more limited when deputy would require his full attention. "I've thought about getting more prey from the outskirts and leaving it for them," he admitted in a lopsided smile. "Being the deputy now, you're not going to be putting me on some kind of list for saying that, are you?"

He'd been fortunate thus far, running into very few complications in his travels and facing next to no backlash from Lionstar. "Yeah," Fawnsqueak idly agreed and considered that for a moment longer, the plausibility of WindClan getting on their paws. "If... no Clan takes advantage of them. Uh, again. I mean. ShadowClan and ThunderClan..." In disappointment and to signal he wouldn't be continuing that, he shook his head.

Coming to an abrupt halt to stare at Sootflare slack-jawed, the question gave him pause and sent a blooming warmth over his pelt, rendering him a stammering mess for a couple seconds as he tried to process that. Being noticed for his deeds was new, and he was thoroughly unprepared. "I... I don't," he fidgeted, kicked a paw at the snow, "I guess it's just..." Oh stars. This was a loaded inquiry that he fell silent as he debated. "There's just a lot of bad out there, y'know? And it's not like it's... hard to do nice things. I don't know why I wouldn't make it better for another cat if I can." Fawnsqueak was caught between explaining further, that he was from a family who was perceived to have created a permanent scar on the Clans, and therefore wishing to alleviate some of the past malice.

Instead, he puffed a breathless chuckle and said, "Not that long ago... like, less than a moon-- I ran into this ShadowClan tom who assaulted me and declared I was destined for evil. Said I was 'damned' or something like that? So maybe, the 'goodness' thing isn't the most popular opinion..."

After a moment she pulled her face back up, her teeth chattering a little, "T-The fish said to tell you that you're a piss poor hunter!" She snickered before going to wade from side to side in the water. "I've come to like it now that my belly is numb." She gave a chattered laugh before cocking her head at him, speaking in a playful innocence, "[B]Is it too cold for you, Drying tom?" She snickered and swatted some of the frigid water at him

his neck fur stood on end, the allusion of poof created as he flushed at the mollys words. "Great Starclan! Suddenly I regret letting the little thing go!" he roared with laughter. He paused briefly, frantically grooming at his sand covered paws before splashing her with the ice-cold water. "You know, when I was a kitten, my mother would tell me a numb belly wasn't exactly something you should be cheerful for, unless its numb with food and warmth," Koistream half purred to Sandwhiskers with an easy yawn, "If you catch a cough, it'll be on your head!"

The bubbly, playful molly laughed as she was splashed with water, only now climbing from the frigid water. She shook her short pelt for a moment, spraying him with splatters of cold water. She then sat to lap at her fur, pushing it upwards to help it dry quicker, "I would never leave my problems to you!" She snickered, swatting at him playfully before going to stand again
Taking a few steps backwards, the sandy-orange molly scrunched down on her haunches, wiggling her hind and leaping at him in a playful tackle. Using the force of her leap, she knocked him into the sand below her, a giggling laugh sounding from her maul.

it took the apprentice a few moments to realize they were on the move. he quickly hopped to his paws, trailing after raccoontail reluctantly. after the warrior's attempt to lighten the mood, a chuckle slipped from wormpaw's lips. he raised a brow, tilting his head slightly up and to the left. "we'll see about that. endurance is my specialty, " wormpaw replied back, following after the blurry colored figure. his thoughts were wander for a moment, letting the air fill with silence. windclan. man, he was salty his theory was proven wrong. they didn't descend from rabbits? complete fox-dung!
he let out a confused 'huh' as his thoughts were irrupted. wormpaw glanced down towards his paws. he wasn't looking down previously however..? he lift his head back up. "i would.. hope you didn't have any intentions of harming me. though i suppose i wouldn't mind that much if it was for a simulation. just no extreme wounds, please and uh thank you, " he seemed utterly confused, though he would add in some cliché manner words to sweeten the mood. well. it was an attempt. wormpaw was trying his best to be more,, shimmery like.

Koistream looked to the sky, his jaw wide open with another jaw, speckled tongue curling into itself; "That's a wise thing to say, I don't solve problems in the traditional way," Koisteam snickered, like a chattering hyena but with more dignity. When he looked down, the sight of her pre-pounce was odd until he realised what Sandwhisker was readying herself to do. "Wait--!" it was too late, his muzzle and cheek were pressed into the sandy bank. He groaned out dramatically, "And so, the mighty warrior, has been defeated! By a single mousebrained Sandwhisker! Oh, the irony!'

A scoff sounded from the molly as she pushed him deeper into the sand, "If anyone's a mighty warrior, it's me! Who's the one being sat on right now?" she snickered playfully as she left him pressed into the sand, waiting for a retaliation. Luckily for him, she was rather thin and slick, which made her light, though the pressure of her paws into his flesh might have made some discomfort. Grinning down at him with sparkling emerald eyes, she lifted one paw to swat at his ears, laughing all the while. She hadn't had this much carefree fun in moons!

"Oh Starclan I'll be spitting out sand for weeks!" His meows were muffled in the hand. With a squirm, reshuffling his body to get s good grip on the floor, he emerged up with a fake roaring, lifting Sandwhiskers up onto his back. He boomed out a purr. "You know I dont think I've met another warrior with so much zing in all my days! Its brilliantly relaxing to let loose like this, especially after Leafbare." He spoke gently, a genuine tone to Koistreams voice as he settled back into the groove his body had left in the sand. "Honestly if anyone could see me now they'd start calling me Turtlestream!"

As he stood to reshuffle, she clung onto the larger male tightly. Once he settled into his sand-made best, she settled to stay on top of him, a joyous laugh leaving her maul, "And I'd be Shellwhisker." She settled down closer, bringing her belly against his back as her claws entangled into his luscious pelt for better grip, "Onward, Turtlestream!" Did they just invent the pony ride for cats?
