Stormsong

The late breeze seemed to be even chillier around the water. Stormsong had let a single shiver pass through him before he picked up the pace, excitement carrying his paws towards Sunningrocks. Waiting had been driving him crazy, like a flea between his toes, and now that the evening had finally come - the warrior couldn't have seemed to wipe the warm smile off his face. And he hadn't even caught sight of his friend yet.

His blue eyes darted around the clearing before he stepped out of the trees, looking for any sight of the she-cat before he cautiously walked forward, making way to the edge of the river.

Sleepycloud

According to her clanmates, Sleepycloud is taking the biggest dirt of her life. But, it was the only way to leave camp unnoticed and without a companion. She knew that the buddy system was to protect them, and while she appreciated it, Sleepycloud would have a companion with her soon enough. It was only a small walk; it couldn't hurt, right? At least, she hoped so. The warrior bounded towards the rocks, head held high. After yesterday's cry session, Sleepycloud began to feel better, a bit lighter. Others have noticed so far but haven't said anything. Probably for the best. Bounding from one stone to the next, she spotted her friend glancing around. With a trill of happiness, the she-cat landed next to the larger cat, headbutting his flank with surprising strength.

"How is your leg treating you?" She mewed, ducking her head to look it over. Not much has changed, though it seemed more herbs were placed on it. Probably tasted horrible.

Stormsong

His ears quickly picked up on her as she bounced over the stones to meet him. Stormsong couldn't help but let out a low purred, surprisingly caught off his balanced by her for a brief second; usually the ThunderClan warrior had steadier feet. He only laughed, batting her back teasingly with sheathed claws.

"Well enough to carry me here," he dismissed her concern with a wave of his tail and a thankfuo smile. "You know I realized, I still haven't caught a fish, and you still don't know about hunting mice."

Sleepycloud

This was true...! The smile on her face seemed glued there. She couldn't wipe it off looking at him. As if StarClan gave Stormsong the power to make her grin like an idiot. It was cute. He was-- "I'd like to think I know a little bit, but mice are so much harder to catch than fish." Sleepycloud gave him a wink. "I'd love an instruction. From the master of catching fish, of course." Sleepycloud turned towards the rocks, looking in the deep shadows where no sun reached. The warrior occasionally heard squeaking there, but she never thought to try and reach her paw in. Rock was much harder than water to scoop out prey.

"Well? Go on~"

Stormsong

A low laugh escaped the tom. He tried to keep his chuckles low, as to not scare off and of their nearby prey - and hopefully future supper. Stormsong stood up and stretched out lazily, holding a low purr in the back of his throat. "Master you may call me. I learned from the best." He meowed, returning her wink and quickly poising himself to sniff the air. Cool as he might have seen, there was a sudden intense pressure to perform, one that he wasn't exactly used to.

Past the strong scents of rushing waters and algae and swarms of fish, he did hear the scrabbles of tiny claws between the granite nearby, and the scent of warm mouse hit the back of his throat. Alright. He met her green gaze. "Hunting forest prey isn't like fishing. You can count on the environment to cover you most of the time. The important thing is to stay quiet and keep your feet firm, as to not many any noise, and stay down-wind of your prey." It would be a little difficult to explain in the midst of the river, but he was sure his point was clear enough. And he could make an example.

Stormsong crept down low, his belly hardly just above the ground as he stalked forward slowly, waiting until the mouse was in his sigh and left unaware - nibbling on seeds or some weeds it'd managed to find, it seemed. He held his breath and waited for the perfect time to strike.

The poor thing didn't stand a chance. He swiped down and snagged the creatures in his claws, flipping it out of the rocks and pinning it quickly to the ground, ending it's life with a swift bite to the neck. He stared at it for a moment, and then grinned, glancing back at Sleepycloud with his chest puffed in oh-so modest pride. "Easy," he meowed. "Want to share it with me?" It wasn't as if he could take it home with him, and burying for too long would just attract predators. They'd be even this way.
