Midnightpaw
Shadowclan
She/her
58/100
Well, thankfully she hadn't been caught during this first round.. That is not to say that she wouldn't get caught during the next one, though. She was dedicated to keeping her head in the game, so as soon as the chance was given for her to move again, she slipped out of the shrubs that she had been hiding within, pawsteps quick and quiet as she made her way towards the nursery instead, another familiar space that she had sometimes found herself missing, even now, moons into her apprenticeship.
Similar to her hiding spot near the apprentice's den, she slipped between the ferns and squeezed herself right up beside the nursery's outer walls. Her tail wrapped up around her once again, she laid her head on her paws and pinned her ears back. There was no way that she was going to be found, she simply wouldn't allow for it. Midnightpaw wasn't usually a competitive cat, as she did not care much for competition. She believed it to be silly and not worth her while–she would learn and grow at her own pace, if others wished to rush, then that was their own mistake to make. Suppose that she was different when it came to games and events, though–as she was a little bit too dedicated to the cause here… Or perhaps it was actually just the right amount of dedication? Ah, who knows.
Turning her head to peer out from the ferns, she found herself staring out at Hawkbite again–and she noticed a few of the younger participants tailing Hawkbite around as he stalked about. She had to bite her tongue to stop herself from giggling at the sight–what a funny hiding spot–well, she supposed it would be considered a trick rather than a hiding spot, wouldn’t it? Well, applause to them for having the courage to do such a thing. They were more on the smaller, younger side, so if it would work for anyone it would work for them.
Placing one of her paws over her muzzle to keep any possible giggles from escaping her, she put in the effort to close her eyes as well. If she could not see the scene before her, with a couple of cats toddling along after Hawkbite, then she certainly couldn’t laugh at it either… She could only hope that the enforcer wouldn’t find her now, seeing as she was hiding in a manner fit for a young kitten. Eyes squeezed shut tight, muzzle hidden beneath her pawpads and a smile drawn across her features. Gah, too embarrassing to even think about it!
[ again open for someone to squish in beside her if they’d like to ]
