night after night (c)

The owl's talons raked through Nightstalkers skin again and the deputy nearly recoiled from it but instead took a small step back and a quick push forwards to snap his jaws around one of its legs. Holding tight, the tom pulled back, using the brush around him to pull it closer to the earth so that Nightpaw could attack it with ease. He did his best to gesture with his head, but a flying owl trying its best to escape his clutch and jerking his head around did not give him much room to work with.

"Thank you!"

Spotting the opening she'd been given, Nightpaw leapt into action. She sunk her teeth and claws into the bird with ease thanks to Nightstriker's efforts, dragging it down to the ground with her. Her movements lacked finesse, not having had many chances to practice in an actual fight, but they did just fine at incapacitating the bird- at least for a moment.

Once the owl was stunned, Nightstalker took the chance to leap forwards, pinning its floundering wings under his paws he wrapped his jaws around its neck and ended its life with a sickly crunch. He did not remove his jaws for a few heartbeats, making sure that the owl was dead before he moved away. Panting softly, Nightstalker stepped off of it before he moved over to Nightpaw and checked her over. Once satisfied she had nothing but a few superficial scratches, he nodded with satisfaction. "Thunderclan and Shadowclan will eat very well tonight. And I am sure there are enough feathers for the sick, elderly, and young and their nests." He mewed.

"We best get you checked over by your medicine cats though, it would not look good if you got hurt while you were out hunting with me." Nightstalker mewed, as he looked over the owl, and their catches not too far from them. He'd ask Mottlerose to send a patrol to collect, it was too much for them to carry.

"That's fine," Nightpaw nodded. "Any reason to visit my sister is a good one, in my eyes. With any luck, she'll be willing to listen to the story behind it."

The warrior-aged apprentice grabbed the owl with her teeth, dragging it along behind her, but paused for a moment to regard ShadowClan's deputy. Dipping her head respectfully, she spoke again: "...Thank you for saving me. I suppose I owe you a debt... And more respect than I had previously thought."
