Skywalker grinned at Owlstar's quip, dripping onto the bank like a soggy rat. "What, that? You've never run full speed through the forest before?" Skywalker crouched low over the edge of the water, lowering his voice so not to scare the fish away. Again. He merely chortled when Owlstar mentioned it herself. "Please, these fish are about a dumb as rocks. Just shinier."

Skywalker rose, padding a few lengths down the shore and padding into the shallows. There he stood, stone still, until the fish couldn't tell him apart from the rocks. His leafy green eyes flicked back and forth, catching the water's reflection. A silver dart flickered past him, and he slammed his front paws together, trapping the fish in his grasp. He whooped and reared up, bringing the fish to his mouth so he could chomp on its head, killing it. Splashing back down, Skywalker looked to Owlstar with a trout clamped in his mouth. He tried to smile around it, only to drop the fish which began floating away. He yelped and chased after it, dragging it back by the tail and tossing it up onto the bank. He followed, shaking out his paws again. His coat had started to dry a little, warmed by the Newleaf sun.

"So uh, come here often?" He asked. "I mean I don't mind sharing this section of the river with you." Yeah like you owned it, stoopid.

Owlstar pursed her lips at his comment before shrugging. "Eh, when ya 'ave a clan ta look after, ya don't really 'ave time ta frolic." she pointed out, wriggling her haunches slightly as she squinted from the sun bouncing off water. She couldn't help but send him another look as he spoke once more. "Uh-huh." She mewed, not offering a counter to her reply. Her eyes hadn't left him after that, watching as he rather humorously caught of fish but let it swim off without him.

Owlstar would've cackled if she wasn't so close to prey, her expression twisting to hold in her laughter. Instead, they came out in abrupt giggles, shoulders bobbing. He looked absolutely ridiculous, scrambling up and down the bank like that. She got the feeling he had too much ego for his own good, but he was so miserably bad at being "cool" that his massive ego didn't even matter. What an odd cat.

"Ah, pretty good catch, chap! 'Part from the fact ya dropped it." What? He was easy to tease, no shame in that. And she was being somewhat truthful anyways, he wasn't bad at hunting, not by any means, but if he wasn't so busy smiling he probably wouldn't have dropped it in the first place. "Ya oughta improve yer focus las, cain't 'ave ya on another river when things get tight." Maybe it was second nature, but Owlstar managed to weave the topic of battle into any conversation she could. Her mind was lazer focused on it, wondering when some huge tide would come to sweep her clan into the deep end.

She couldn't have that, not again. Stars, they were all counting on her. She had everything to loose. She wouldn't allow herself the privilege of a normal conversation without finding someway to reinforce her push for clan security. It was second nature.

'Probably just what bein' leader feels like. It's my job ta worry, ain't it? Owlstar thought, only then noticing her expression had grown sour as she looked to the river. The tabby flinched before blinking. She smiled toothily and cleared her throat. What was he talking about?

"Ha! Yer river, eh? Why don't cha take my clan too, hm?" she swatted some water at him. Finally, she got out of her crouch and straightened into a sit. "Eh, I come out 'ere as often as time let's me. I hate bein' stuck, eh? Needed ta get out 'ere n' do somethin'. What 'bout ya?" her eye turned towards him, ears swerving to better catch his words. "Bolt through trees often?"
