Before Lightstep could think of where to search for prey next, another bird let out an alarm not too far away, and the white warrior heard one of his Clanmates his with frustration. Lightstep winced slightly. I hope my botched catch didn't cost someone else theirs, he thought guiltily. As he made his way towards the sound to check, he made note that all the birds chirping in their section of the forest had gone quiet. We certainly won't be catching anything else here, he thought, snorting. The tom still couldn't help but feel like he'd scared off the prey, but there was nothing to be done about it now. Bad things happened to everybody, and the second bird could have been unrelated to his own, he reasoned hopefully.
He padded into the opening where he had separated from his Clanmates to find Berrycloud looking frustrated as he dug up his fresh-kill. As Lightstep padded off to retrieve his little vole from earlier, his ears flicked as he heard the other warrior stating that the prey had fled and they should return to camp. Vole in mouth, Lightstep nodded agreement and padded up to his Clanmate to begin the journey back.
