passive bonus: +2 to all hunting rolls
While ShadowClan slept, the cold season stormed through their territory like a badger. A layer of snow, shining innocently in the moonlight, dusted the grass and turned the camp’s muddiest sections into slush. Emberleap trudged through it to the apprentices’ den, pausing to allow himself a full-body shudder. This weather felt like a bad omen. Every creature with a whisker of sense would be underground or underwater - but Clan cats, especially those in training, did not take days off. Emberleap steeled himself and poked his head into the den. “Hey. Hey, Ospreypaw.” Navigating the sea of stray legs, tails, and nesting material, he chanced a gentle nudge to his newest apprentice’s shoulder. “It’s time to get up. Meet me at the prey pile when you’re ready, all right?”
Satisfied he’d managed to get her attention without waking up most of the den’s occupants (for once), he retreated to the aforementioned pile and, after a moment’s searching, fished a frog out of it. Since Firepaw, he’d never been the type to train on an empty stomach, at least for the first few sessions. He needed his head clear, tonight more than usual. Rude was far from the worst thing a cat could be; still, he found himself hoping that was all Ospreypaw was. He didn’t know if he could handle another Raisha. Tossing the frog’s slimy skin aside, Emberleap settled in to chew, shiver, and wait.
