If there had ever been a perfect morning for hunting, this morning was one. The persistent drizzling of the past few days had dissipated along with the ragged gray sheet of clouds that had borne it, and the sky was as clear as could be. For a few hours, maybe even days, the clans would have respite from the dreary weather. Here was an opportunity, and Scorchclaw was not one to turn it down. With all the rain that had come down in recent times, trips beyond RiverClan camp often entailed trudging through mud and sludge. But this morning, at least, the territory would be slightly more pleasant. The fluffy deputy had sent out as many patrols as possible, and he himself had not been left idle. Standing by the exit of the camp, he was currently waiting for the other member of his hunting patrol—Dappleshine.

As promised the day of her warrior ceremony, the two of them would be going on a hunt together.

The sun shone on the new warrior's back, warming her fur. She enjoyed how it felt, and wanted to relish in the warmth and comfort it provided, but Magpiepaw's actions still weighed heavily on her mind. She finished grooming her long fur, wishing that he would listen to her, sit with her again, but it seemed like that wasn't going to happen. Her blue eyes passed over the entrance of the camp, and she reminded herself that today was the day that she would get to hunt with Scorchclaw finally. She was a little nervous, determined to show him all of the skills she had learned, but afraid of letting him down, especially with the turmoil in her head. Shaking off the sadness, she rose to her paws and made her way over to him with a genuine, although small, smile. "Good morning Scorchclaw! I hope I haven't kept you waiting?" She asked, her tail waving in a greeting as she stopped next to him. "Where will we be hunting today?"

Glimpsing a flash of silver-gray fur at the corner of his vision, Scorchclaw turned. As he had expected, there stood Dappleshine. "Good morning." He meowed, with a slight nod. Despite his solemn tone, there was almost a sparkle in the pale-green eyes, which suggested a fine mood. "You arrived on time, Dappleshine." Punctuality was always a good trait to have, and it pleased him to see that his former charge possessed it. Now that the two of them were present, the patrol was complete. He had seen to it that they would be alone, having wanted some time for the two of them to talk. Moons and moons ago, he would never have imagined himself going to such lengths to spend time with a cat other than Adderfeather.  The thought of the lost warrior still stirred sharp pangs within his heart. Not a day went by that he did not miss her. What he would give, to have his best friend by his side again! In the time that they had been apart, he had forged further bonds with his clanmates. If she were to see this scene now, what would she say...? Would she laugh to see Scorchclaw playing the role of a father? Enough. He abruptly stopped the train of thought. Adderfeather isn't here. And he had no idea if he would ever see her again. The thought was too painful to bear. For now, all he wanted to do was focus on the patrol with Dappleshine.

Scorchclaw turned and led the way to the stream marking the edge of the island. The young reeds lining the bank had sprung up after the flood, and they almost seemed to be growing taller with every passing day. Soon, the natural barrier would be restored to its state before the flood. It was good that nature recovered so swiftly, if nothing else. The large tabby waited for Dappleshine to reach his side before he stepped into the cool waters. As he waded to the opposite shore, he murmured thoughtfully, "We should be able to get more fishing done at the main river. I also want to see if there are predators lurking there." When his paws were placed on dry land once again, he shook himself off. "How has life as a warrior been, Dappleshine?" He was not a very talkative tom in general, but he was trying his hardest today. There were other things he wanted to talk about, of course, but he chose a simple, reasonable question to start off the conversation.

She recognized the slight sparkle in his eyes, and felt a little more relaxed at the thought of Scorchclaw already being in a good mood. Today, she wouldn't let thoughts of other things take up the time she got to spend with him, not when there was so little of it. She purred as he said she was right on time, and followed as he lead the way out of camp, the sun warming her back further as they padded away from camp. Wading into the water beside the deputy, she relished momentarily in the contrast between the heat of the sun and the coolness of the water, grateful that it was beginning to not feel quite so frigid.

Dappleshine nodded in agreement at the prospect of hunting at the river, and checking for predators. "There was an eagle over by Sunningrocks a couple of sunrises ago, when I went with Jaystar, Adderpaw, and Mistlepaw. There could be more nearby." They stepped onto dry land again, and the water streamed from the long hair at her belly and legs, working their way to the ground. Following his lead, she shook herself off as well, taking care that he wouldn't be sprayed as she did so.

"How has life as a warrior been, Dappleshine?" His question threatened to thrust her back towards the camp, where she was being ignored by the cat she had thought was her closest friend, someone who would never turn their back on her. She managed to barely pull herself away from it and gave Scorchclaw a small smile. "It's been nice. Having more responsibilities and freedom has been welcome, to say the least. I've been getting a lot of hunting in!" She continued after a moment, choosing her words. "It's been keeping me really busy, but I enjoy that. Sometimes, though, if feels really.... lonely, I guess." Her head lowered to the ground as she inspected an old trail, one that very faintly smelled of frog.

At the mention of the eagle, Scorchclaw flicked one tufted ear. The corners of his maw curved downward into a slight frown. "I believe I did receive a report about the eagle." He murmured grimly, more to himself than Dappleshine. Then, slightly raising his volume, he agreed, "You are right. We will have to keep an eye on the skies today." As the flood's mark was still fresh in recent history, prey and medicinal herbs were in short supply. The clans were not the only inhabitants of the forest, and there were plenty of starving predators who would even be satisfied with a warm mouthful of cat. Once Dappleshine had more or less dried herself off, the two of them set off again. This time, he slowed his pace so that the smaller warrior would be able to walk by his side.

The weather truly was good that day. In fact, it was almost surprising after the showers they had been having. They were having warmer temperatures than they had had in a while, and the change was certainly pleasant. The ground was still damp from the rain the day before, and sunlight sparkled off the adorning water droplets. Shallow puddles could be spotted in abundance. Scorchclaw took a few moments to process Dappleshine's words, musing them over carefully. "The life of a warrior is... considerably different from that of an apprentice's." He began thoughtfully. It was an obvious fact, but he stated it nevertheless. His green gaze flicked to the younger cat. He did somewhat understand how she felt. When he had first become a warrior, he had had to leave Adderpaw behind in the Apprentice Den. She was really the only friend he had had at the time, and he had indeed felt some loneliness when the distance between the two of them had pulled apart. But was this really all that was going on in Dappleshine's case? His expression was unreadable as he pondered. Being a particularly observant cat, it was no surprise that he had come to be aware of who Dappleshine and her littermates spent their time with. And in the past few days, he had also observed that a certain black and white apprentice had been conspicuously absent from Dappleshine's side. For a second or two, he wondered if he should bring up the tom's name. At the last moment, however, he dismissed the idea. "Your life now might be moving at a different pace from the lives of those who were left behind in the Apprentice Den, but as long as you remain clanmates striving towards the same goal, you will never truly be alone. At least," He paused awkwardly, "That is what I think. Still.... it would be wise to keep your friends and siblings close." His expression darkened. "To have someone willing to stand by your side is a gift. You will never know when you might lose it." He did not know what had happened between the young warrior and Magpiepaw. All he knew was that the strained friendship had changed Dappleshine. Ever since the day of her warrior ceremony, it had been painfully obvious that she was not her usual self. The usually bright she-cat seemed down. "If there is something affecting your relationship with them, you should talk to them about it."

Scorchclaw did not want to point any name out to Dappleshine, but he believed what he had already said was sufficient for the young warrior to understand him. He disliked meddling in others' business, even if it was necessary at times. It was ultimately an issue that she would have to face on her own. What she did not tell him, he did not want to pry into forcefully. The least he could do, however, was provide some guidance.

"The feathers were rather nice for my nest though. Made it much more comfortable!" She purred at the thought of how soft her nest was. She continued at Scorchclaw's side, enjoying his company and the day they were lucky to have. Would the days stay as nice as this in the future?

She listened as the older warrior spoke, her tail flicking nervously. Had he noticed what was going on? Knowing Scorchclaw, he probably had... He was observant, and didn't let much slip past his whiskers... Before she realized it, she was speaking, seeming surprised at her own voice. "I want him... Them close... But it seems like I'm being avoided. I've tried to talk to... Magpiepaw, but he just walks away or makes some excuse and won't even look me in the eye! He ran away at my ceremony without saying anything... Did I do something wrong?" She pondered aloud, forgetting for a moment that Scorchclaw was in earshot, hearing her every word. She blinked, her eyes focusing on his and she let out a breath. "I'm sorry, I'll keep trying to talk to him. You're right. Thanks, Scorchclaw." She blinked at him appreciatively before her attention was drawn to something nearby.

A swift movement had caught her eye, and she dropped immediately into a crouch. A quick pounce later, she stood with a large frog grasped in her jaw, eyes shining. She made a shallow hole and buried the frog before turning back to Scorchclaw. "I'm still going to be the best hunter RiverClan has ever seen, you know." She stated with a small smile before continuing to follow him.

Dappleshine attempted to catch a frog, which was successful! -3 SP.

Dappleshine
45/45 HP

It seemed his advice had been more effective than he had expected. Scorchclaw listened in silence, without a word of interruption, as Dappleshine spoke. The young warrior's first words came hesitantly, but before long they were pouring out. In a moment, the large tabby gained a better understanding of the issue. It was more or less as he had expected. Magpiepaw was at the core of it. He was the reason behind Dappleshine's recent depression. Scorchclaw's brow furrowed, and he also frowned. The displeased expression vanished in a flash, however, replaced by his usual inscrutable countenance. Dappleshine seemed to have said more than she had intended to. Before he could respond with anything, she swiftly apologized and then thanked him. The older warrior watched her slink off; with something that resembled a half-sigh, he sat down to wait patiently. He had caught the glimpse she had, and he knew that it was to be her catch. For now, the conversation seemed to be over.

When Dappleshine returned, she was indeed bearing her prize in her jaws. Scorchclaw cocked his head at her bold declaration, before a slight smile flitted over his maw. "We shall see if that comes to pass." He stated in a deep rumble. Amusement flashed within his pale-green eyes. Since she had caught something, he decided he had better do the same. There were many empty bellies waiting back at camp, after all. The flutter of feathers sounded softly above, and he looked up. A sparrow of some sort passed by overhead, landing on a heavily berry-laden bush a distance away. For a second or two, the large tabby considered his next choice of action. The bird was probably worth nothing more than a few mouthfuls. As a RiverClan cat, he was also well-aware of the difficulty they took to catch. But well, he supposed there was no harm in making an attempt. To turn down such an obvious chance would be ingratitude. His mind made up, he fell into the hunter's crouch. Before the bird spotted him, he had to― A little before he he was within range to pounce, his target turned around to cast a beady little eye on him. In an instance, its little brown wings were spread wide, and the bird was ascending into the safety of the sky. Scorchclaw uttered a low growl of frustration. Standing, he returned to Dappleshine's side. "You certainly seem to be doing better than I am." There was a note of annoyance in his tone, but it was nothing more than surface-level. It passed quickly, and his mind wandered back to the conversation they had had earlier.

"Magpiepaw has not made a bad impression on me." The deputy murmured thoughtfully. Of course, that did not exclude the possibility that the fault still lay with him. However... "You should be able to work things out with him." He padded onward, continuing to lead their small patrol towards their destination. By now, the rushing of the main river could be heard.

Scorchclaw failed to catch sparrow. It cost 3 stamina.

Scorchclaw

Her ear flicked lightly at Scorchclaw's words, her eyes noting his small smile. "I'll practice as hard as I need to in order to make it so." Smiling back, she followed the tom's eyes as a sparrow landed in a bush a short distance away. She silently dropped into a crouch, waiting to see what Scorchclaw would do, not wanting to get in his way. The tom slowly stalked forward, but with no warning or reason the bird turned, locking it's beady eyes on the two cats. Dappleshine held her breath, feeling as though her heart stopped, but it was too late. Letting out the air that had caught in her throat as the bird soared skyward, she looked back to Scorchclaw. Laying her tail on his shoulder, she shrugged. "Just an unlucky turn of the head, don't worry. Besides, that sparrow was absolutely tiny, probably far more work to eat than any cat would like." The tom's mind seemed to wander for a moment before he murmured, and Dappleshine hesitated as he spoke. She nodded, feeling a bit more confident, and decided that she would try to talk to him again, but it would be later. For now... She wanted to enjoy this hunt with her father figure. "I'll keep trying, Scorchclaw. Thank you." She smiled to him, pressing her nose to his shoulder before following him as he continued padding forward towards the river. By now, she could hear the water as it played over the rocks and shore, rippling in it's currents. 


Once the river was in sight, Dappleshine padded forward to stand beside it. Casting a quick glance around as she sensed the area around her, she settled into position, wading into the water and making sure her shadow didn't fall over the water in front of her. Settled and confident in her place, she poised herself to wait patiently, prepared to strike at any moment. She didn't have to wait too long, a large shadow under the water passing right in front of her paws. She struck it swiftly and firmly, hardly any splash coming from her paws as the fish was flung into the air, and she caught it in her jaws as the water droplets rained down around the two. She carried it back to shore and nipped it's head before lightly covering it. The sun felt amazing on her back, and the water was a welcome relief to the warmth the sunlight carried, so after a quick nod and smile to Scorchclaw, she returned to the water to wait for the next prey foolish enough to get close. After getting into position, she mewed quietly, just loud enough for the deputy to hear. "How have you been? I know you've been busy... But any neat discoveries while on patrols, or interesting things happen recently?" Her eyes never left the water, but her tail tip twitched occasionally and her ears were swiveled in the tom's direction.


Dappleshine attempted to catch Fish, catch was successful. -3 SP.


Dappleshine:
45/45 HP
154/160 SP

"I'll keep trying, Scorchclaw. Thank you."

The large tom simply nodded in approval. He knew she would. Dappleshine and Magpiepaw had kept each other company ever since the former had been nothing more than a stumbling kit barely able to keep her head up. Magpiepaw had watched over Dewshine's litter whenever Scorchclaw had been absent, and it might not have been an exaggeration to say that the littermates owed the black-and-white tom their lives. They were practically family. After they had already spent so much time together, what could possibly tear them apart? Scorchclaw did not know what the true nature of their conflict was, but such were the thoughts he had on it... He did not like dwelling on the fragility of bonds. He had been betrayed too many times, and the last thing he wanted was for Dappleshine to experience that same pain. Were Magpiepaw to ever hurt her... Well, the black-and-white tom had better pray he never did.

Scorchclaw followed Dappleshine toward the river, his stride leisurely for a change. The rushing of the eager current greeted the two cats. The sound was a familiar one, one he had heard all his life. As he had thought, there was nothing that could relax him like being by the riverside. As he cast his green gaze into the water's sparkling depths, it was hard for him to associate it with the beast of calamity that had so thoroughly destroyed their home barely a moon ago. Yet he knew that beast was present and very much alive. It was simply slumbering now that it had vented its rage―slumbering, and waiting for the next time it would rise. Scorchclaw lashed his feathery tail to dismiss such anxieties. He was here to hunt, not to worry over something he had no control over. The river had always been his clan's way of life, and it would always be. The thought was almost ironic. Having left Dappleshine to fish in the shallows, he padded some distance away to a good-sized rock situated at the very edge of the shore. He quickly clambered atop it and settled down. The warmth he felt through his pelt was reminiscent to that of Sunningrocks', although the Sunningrocks were undoubtedly a better place to sunbathe. Thirstily, the current lapped at his paws. For an untold length of time, he sat in a still silence. Then his sharp gaze caught the flicker of motion. At that moment, he threw his paw into the water. His claws brushed scales. With the skillful motion of an experienced fisher, he flicked the fish unto the rock. The prey creature, having been taken from its natural habitat, was swiftly dispatched. Scorchclaw lifted the fish in his jaws and turned to Dappleshine's direction. He was just in time to witness her catch, which caused a soft hrrm of pleasure to rumble from him. After a moment's consideration, he hopped off the rock and went to join her.

The kill count was now two for Dappleshine and one for him. Scorchclaw was not out for competition, however; the score did not matter to him. The fluffy tabby laid his fish neatly by hers. Warily, he looked toward the skies. The possibility of their catches being snatched away from above existed. In fact, it had happened to him on a recent patrol. The feathered culprit had barely escaped his claws. Even now, the memory irked him. If he had his way, it would not happen again. Fortunately, nothing but sight of lazily drifting clouds hailed him. At Dappleshine's quiet words, his gaze flicked to her once more. Her question caught him by surprise, but it was not one he was unwilling to answer. He pondered over it in a moment of silence. There had been something of note. Whether or not he should share it, however, he was uncertain. At last, he made his decision. He doubted any harm would be done in telling her, and the opinion of another cat might be desirable. "I have been thinking..." He began quietly, "of taking a mate."

Her tail grazed the surface of the water lightly, the very tips of the long hairs barely dragging casting ripples behind her. Smiling at Scorchclaw as he made his catch, she nodded towards him as he placed his catch beside her own. Following his gaze up to the sky, she was relieved when it was clear, no threat at the moment, he had just been checking. She waited patiently as the pause drew on, it was clear he was considering something very carefully, Scorchclaw wouldn't just leave a cat in suspense for no reason, and judging by the look on his face it was quite an intense consideration. A shadow began to draw near, and as she poised herself to strike out at it, his voice rose from behind her. She paused, paw in the air, as the shadow grew closer and hesitated before setting in down and turning to look at the deputy. Her blue eyes gleamed with curiosity and a hint of surprise, she hadn't been expecting news like that but she was fond of the idea that Scorchclaw had found a cat, or at least somecat who he was considering.

She padded out of the water, droplets streaming from her belly fur as she approached him. "A mate huh? That's wonderful news! Tell me, what's her name?" She thought back to who she had seen Scorchclaw with as of late, and couldn't pin any one cat that stuck out more than the others to her, but maybe she was just naive to the ways of love. She was young herself after all. "I want you to be happy, dad, and if they make you happy then all is well in my mind." She purred as she touched her nose to the tom's shoulder, joy shining in her eyes.

"I have been thinking... of taking a mate."

As soon as the words slipped out, Scorchclaw felt a restless sort of uncertainty. It was rare for him to confide in someone. He had always been the kind of cat to keep things to himself, and his moons of experience had only strengthened that tendency. Adderfeather, who had been the one friend he trusted on a deep enough level, was gone now. Perhaps it was that resultant itching within him―an unfilfilled desire to have someone know his thoughts―that had finally prompted him to speak up. Did he want advice? Someone to help him make a decision? No... No, that was not it. He simply wanted to tell her. He had missed having someone to talk to.

Scorchclaw took in the fine details of Dappleshine's reaction. He saw the paw poised to strike at the water, only to waver at his words. He saw the younger warrior turn, her blue eyes full of surprise and joy. Her response was along the lines of what he had expected. They were words from the kind, warm cat she had always been. The large tabby closed his eyes for a brief moment, the image of that particular she-cat surfacing within his mind. Happy? Was he... happy? He opened his eyes again. "Pebblestreak." He stated simply. "I believe you are acquainted with her." The mentioned warrior was a friendly member of the clan. Even if one did not know her on a personal level, they had likely spoken to her before. Scorchclaw had held casual conversations with her before, but there had been no hint that she had ever felt anything for him. Perhaps he simply had not noticed? He remembered the word that she had used―"admiration." She wanted to be his mate, and what reason did he have to refuse? "Truth be told, I do not have much experience with romance." He admitted. "This is the first time a she-cat has ever shown interest in me."
