Laying in the clearing was not an ideal day for Appledash. But he was currently on rest, he shouldn't be doing anything to do with hunting or patrolling for the next day or two still. He had suffered some major wounds during the battle with the DS, although nothing too severe or fatal. The worst was a reopened scratch along his flank, one that he was currently covering with his bushy red tail.

Laying his head on his paws, Appledash let out a sigh. The last time I was this bored was when I was a kit and I couldn't do anything else but sit in camp.... The tomcat didn't take very well to not being able to do anything. Appledash was the type of cat that had to be up and moving, constantly. Sitting still for too long would make him axioms and nervous, as well as upset. But he knew it was better to listen to the medicine cat so he could heal.

A golden tabby she-cat entered the camp, two mice hanging from her jaws by their tails. She headed over to the fresh kill pile and placed the lifeless pieces of prey down gently. The mice rolled and fell off the pile instead of staying there. Dazzlinggaze frowned. She bent down and picked it up, depositing her contributions onto the top of the pile again. Once again the mice toppled onto the ground. The warrior quietly hissed in frustration as she bent down again and nudged the mice closer towards the pile. She wasn’t going to bother any more with trying to balance the mice on the top. It obviously wasn’t going to stay so there was no point in trying.
With a sigh, she turned away from the pile of prey and sat down in a quiet spot. She started grooming her fur, which was matted and muddied. It was mostly her paws, which were stained brown with the dust and the mud. Most of her pelt was neat and clean though, with the occasional knot. She tugged furiously at a particularly difficult knot and finally it came free. With a satisfied smile, Dazzlinggaze finished grooming the rest of her fur and soon enough, she was done.
With her fur now finished, the warrior lay down on her stomach and rested her chin on her paws. She closed her eyes and enjoyed a few moments of peace and quiet. Her silence was interrupted soon enough, as a familiar voice reached her ears. She opened one eye but was otherwise keeping still. She looked to the spot which was a few foxlengths away, and noticed a tom sitting not to far away from her. She studied him warily. He seemed somewhat familiar to her. If she really had interacted with her before, it wouldn’t be very hard to work out who he was. After all, Dazzlinggaze didn’t socialise. She only socialised when she was approached. And even that wasn’t very common. Most cats didn’t even know that she existed. Something seemed to click in her mind as she realised who he was. He was the cat who she’d talked to in RiverClan’s camp. What was his name again? Appledash wasn’t it? He was a nice tom, and strangely enough, she didn’t mind his company. Still, she hadn’t been very open with him on the other day, and she wasn’t planning on changing that. Exhaling, the she-cat closed her eyes once more and shut everything out.
