Mica - Mistlewhisker
With each swipe of her forepaw over her face, the leader felt significantly cleaner, improving her mood. She was momentarily entranced by the ripples expanding in the water after her paws dipped into the water one final time. As the water settles, two bright amber orbs stare back at her. The leader stared at her reflection for a moment until the shiny body of a fish darts past, disturbing the reflection.
Like any cat, her attention is immediately grabbed by the water dweller. Dawnstar's never eaten fish and has never had any desire to. But then again she's never wanted to learn how to swim or climb, but did regardless. What Dawnstar enjoyed was acquiring skills, despite being a leader, she wasn't above learning anything new she could get her paws on. Whether she used the skill or wanted to was never factored into such a decision.
With her attention now fixated on the water prey, she barely acknowledged Mistlewhisker's departure. Her ears swerved towards the Enforcer retreated, but other than that the brilliant golden orbs remained stuck on the fish. How the hell does she get them out of there? Even though they were swimming mere tail lengths from her, Dawnstar did not doubt that they spooked as easily as birds and squirrels. She bet she could hook her claws into their bodies and tug one out if done right.
Her tail swung back and forth slowly identical to a pendulum as her brain worked on a solution to her delimeia. The slight twitch in her ear acknowledged Mistlewhisker's return. The leader didn't turn her head until the she-cat dropped something at her paws. Oh? Curiosity glimmered in her gaze as she noticed the frog and the amusement in the other's solo eye. A light smirk tugged at the she-cat maw.
"How thoughtful." The leader meowed in return. She'd have squashed the frog for stirring up unwanted memories if she was petty enough.
However, Mistlewhisker went out of her way to hunt down and gift her the irritation, the least Dawnstar could do is keep her immature impulse in check. The next words to leave the dark she-cat maw had Dawnstar's eyes lighting up like twin suns.
"You know how to fish?" She quired, smirk slightly larger than before.
"Teach me, I've wanted to learn." Even though her tone came out controlled, she did nothing to hide the excitement in her eyes nor the eager little jig her paws did. Dawnstar thought she'd have to kidnap one of the guppies to teach her at this rate.
