Purrks: Lyrebird’s lullaby [Active]

Bored. Soooo bored. Carppaw scanned around the clearing while she trots around in smaller steps, actively looking for something she’s willing to spend time with. The sunlight feels warmer than usual, and the more frequent she got out of the apprentice den to finally let out all of her energy and frolic around like her early kithood. But with whom?

A figure dashed close ahead of the apprentice, as a slight breeze trails behind and swept on her face. It was so close, it nearly collided Carppaw in an instant! They must’ve been chasing something. Something small… wait a minute. She barely progressed on the other apprentice’s identity, but to her surprise, it must be her kithood acquaintance, Shrikepaw! And she’s currently hunting down a bug. Well, guess what? She won’t notice her approach until she’ll take down the bug in the first place!

Carppaw joins the pursuit as she bolts off to the insect. Before Shrikepaw would manage to catch it on time, Carppaw took the horizontal path unlike her acquaintance, and lunged to the greenfly, the other facing her final blow coming by like she herself experienced it a few minutes ago. She attempted to snag the bug with her paws, but lost her balance, following a dense thump on the ground, and the apprentice barely bruised by the incident.

After a few seconds of gaining consciousness, she unwrapped her paws, and a sense of gratitude rushes in her as she sees the corpse of the fly linger on one of her paws. A bug chase worth accomplishing! A muttering snicker slowly develops into a bursting, unusually sharp laugh. “heheh… haha… HAHAHA!! WOOHOO!” She got on her paws and bounced around like an aroused rabbit, yet unaware of losing the grip of the insect. Then she approached Shrikepaw with a wide grin on her face. “Oh, Shrikekit- Ahem... I mean, Shrikepaw, right? Stars, it’s been a while, isn’t it?”

Sorry for the delay! Carppaw recently came back to Windclan via prison escape, and I'll be attempting to regain my activeness!

she/her - 8 moons

Green eyes focused in, totally alert to the little greenfly as she made her chase. This was it, the little bug would be hers, all hers! She reached a paw out to smack it, not noticing the apprentice gradually coming into view, until it was too late. She skidded to a halt, as Carppaw lept out in front of her - her greenfly! Aww, darn it. Oh, but that didn't matter much, really. Carppaw was here! Oh - was she hurt? "You okay down there?" She asked, looking at the apprentice, who was basically a bundle of limbs on the floor. Oh, but she seemed fine, actually, she was laughing! She crouched down, noticing the bug on Carppaw's paw, "woah!? You caught it! Good going!!" She chirped, jumping around in a quick circle of glee.

It really had been a long time since they'd seen each other, hadn't it? Last time they'd spoken, Carppaw had been so nervous about her apprentice ceremony, but she seemed happier than ever today! "Yea! Yes, it has! Have you had lots of hunting training? 'Cus that was really good!" Shrikepaw hadn't had any proper hunting training yet - she'd just managed to get her first catch through pure shear of will, being put on patrols and watching the warriors hunt.
