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?"

Skywalker nodded along with Owlstar's words as though the very understandable and real answer she gave him wasn't in response to his ridiculous question. "Oh yeah, makes all the sense in the world, yep."

Her laughter at his incredible kill earned a sharp grin and a small flick of water in her direction. "I promise, that was a one-time thing. Can you blame a guy for being nervous in your presence?" He snickered, tail flicking the water cheerily like a kit. "Man you think about the clan at all moments of the day, huh! Gotta admit, that's dedication." His green eyes glittered with the flickering water, before he spotted another fish darting past him. He lunged for it, slamming a heavy cream paw onto its back and dragging it with wicked claws up to his face so he could bite it. Once it was still, he chucked it back onto the bank, then shot Owlthroat a cheeky look. "What was that about being on the other side of the river, 'lad'?""

Skywalker was for once quiet as Owlstar explained her reasoning for being out here. He focused on the fish, her words flitting between his ears like minnows. When she finished with a question, he chuckled. "Yeah, as much as I can. I know it's a WindClan thing, but I got a love for speed I guess. I guess it's the same reason as you. Just gotta do something. Hate being stuck."
