She looked at her catch with pride. She had caught something, something that had sharp talons and could fly.

"I've caught a caterpillar does that count?" She watched as the other two caught a couple more, then suggested going home.

"Okay!" then flattening her ears she looked at them.

"How do I carry it?"

Frustrated, Adderstrike walked all the way to lionsbeach. She felt that Stormstar was far too on Redmire's side on everything. Adderstrike didn't snap the moment she talk to someone, ever. She didn't start the yell, yet there she was being threatened her warriors name over a conversation that went poorly. She shook her head, no she needed to let it go and perhaps say away from Redmire forever. If that was how she was going to be off the bat it wasn't like she was ever going to be able to talk to them again. Adderstrike wasn't even sure what angle she would have to approach things to be able to talk to that cat. Given what she said as well, it sounded like Redmire needed friends badly, but was it really Adderstrike's duty to make friends with everyone? To make everyone happy all the time? No, not it wasn't.

So Adderstrike laid there in the sand close enough for the ebb and flow of the ocean to hit her, but barely. Feeling the sand pull away from under her when the water receded felt nice, almost mesmerizing. If she didn't have clan duties she would be here all the time... Or the Rugged range. Now that was a fine place for sure. Slowly she started to feel the stress melt away. Perhaps she needed more time on her own, thought even now her body itched to work.

Gullstrike led the way to Lionsbeach, and once the water was visible against the sky, he felt a bolt of energy rush through him. Like a kit, he let out a delighted chirp and raced forward, splashing into the calm waters of the ocean. He glanced back at Goldenwing.

"Come on in, the water's fine!" He drawled, wading in up until the water touched his belly fur. He stood still, letting the water sway around him, and kept his eyes down to watch for life.

It was only a moment before he dove his head under the surface to snap at a small fish; but it flicked away just at the last second. He maded backwards, lifting his head out of the water and shaking it to rid of the excess drops. "Ergh, these little fish always get away from me. What about you, any luck so far?" Gullstrike asked.

Goldenwing stepped into the cool saltwater, some tension easing from between her shoulders. She flicked her tail in amusement, looking over at Gullstrike.

"I'm not sure how much success you'll have splashing around like that," she teased, feeling a bit more open and relaxed as she took in the expanse of water around her. Goldenwing stood as still as she could manage, the current gently tugging at her long fur. As a dark shape darted beneath her she lunged, hooking her claws into the scales of a smallmouth bass.

She brought the fish to shore, quickly snapping its neck with her jaws and thanking Starclan under her breath.

"Well, that brings us 1 to 0. You'll have to start catching up."

Gullstrike watched Goldenwing's catch, then flicked an ear at her comment. "Yes, well... the sun is shining in my eyes!" He said with his chin in the air. The she-cat was on shore now, while he was still standing in the shallows, so he hoped that she could hear he was trying to be funny. To help, he waved his wet tail around in jest.

The movement and noise startled away the fish that had been curious (and brave, and stupid) enough to swim around his legs, so he waded his way to shore. Here, where the sand was still soaked, but not quite where the water consistently reached it, he could see the little breathing holes that usually indicated crabs. He sniffed for a moment, staying still to prevent the prey from sensing movement. Then, Gullstrike pounced and began digging furiously His claws quickly scratched across a shell and he curled them around the creature, flinging it out from its hiding spot.

"Gotcha!" He meowed, tossing it onto the ground and then spearing his claws through its underside. Luck was not on his side though -- the crab pinched his dewclaw before it was killed, and it pinched pretty hard. He yowled and hissed and flung it away, where it fell dead on the sand. "Stars," he cursed, licking his pinched claw as it throbbed. He glanced back at Goldenwing. "I hope that you can forgive how embarrassing that was in exchange for lookin' for pretty shells now." He meowed, trying to look meek under his wet fur.

The golden warrior sighed melodramatically. "I suppose I can agree to that." She dug a shallow hole slightly farther up the shore where silt mixed with sand, burying the bass she'd caught for when they returned to camp. Goldenwing returned to where Gullstrike stood, pawing curiously at the sand. "Is there, I dunno, a strategy to finding shells? Or do I just look for little bits of color and shine?"

Trotting onto the sand, she fought the urge to go splash in the water, she was far too mature for that. Facing Rosehawk, she respectfully pinned back her ears and steadied her swishing tail.
“What are we hunting?”

Gullstrike buried his own crab, wincing as his pinched claw radiated pain down his entire paw. Damn these crabs, he thought, but blinked thoughtfully at Goldenwing as she asked her question. "Hmm, I just usually sit and close my eyes until the water speaks to me." He said, sitting and closing his eyes. After a second, he opened them and grinned. "Just kidding. I'm not that crazy.

"Yeah, I'd just go up and down the shoreline. There was a little pile of pebbles over there," he nodded to a clump of materials some lengths away, "that might have some shells mixed in." He stood and grimaced as he put weight on his paw. He carefully walked over to the pile, trying not to limp too much. Once he was sitting next to the rocks, he began to carefully comb through them, flicking his tail absentmindedly. "Oh yes, there are a few little treasure in here!" He called to Goldenwing.

Amberflare
Riverclan warrior

Amberflare had decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle of clan life today. With all the fiascos happening she'd decided to isolate herself from the center of Riverclan for a while until it all died down. Some of her clanmates seemed much more eager to dig their paws into the mess to see if they could assist in tidying it up, not her. Selfish? Oh no, she was just keeping out of it so that everyone could solve the problems without too much bother. What was one cat compared to dozens? Not much.

So here she was, leisurely strolling across the sandy beach, simply watching the waves as the stretched to brush the land before falling back in defeat. The cycle was never ending...in a way it might describe Riverclan's struggles; how they never managed to reach their goals but still never gave up...what a silly thought, the flame point smiled at how poetical it was. Indeed, it was extremely foolish, as was her clan yet at least she gained amusement from it.

'My...what is that cat up to?' A blend of curiosity and confusion shone in pale blue eyes as they gazed at a rather interesting sight. A brown speckled and white warrior lying between the border of land and sea...didn't see that everyday. Interest piqued, the pretty she cat wandered over to her clanmate, peering at them with a sparkling gaze. As she reached their side, she carefully dipped her head down so it was just hovering over them as she stared from above. Corners of her lips turned upwards with mirth into a soft smile. "You look comfortable." Amberflare commented, tone just bordering teasing. From what she could see they did look blissful, hopefully she wasn't being too irritating.

Lavenderleopard
RiverClan Warrior
a pretty, thick-furred gray-black wildrose bengal she-cat with pale blue eyes and a lavender vine wrapped around one front leg.

Lavenderleopard stood beside the water's edge, letting her tail train in the tide. Her pale blue hues were fixed on the setting sun, clearly so mesmerized by the reddish-orange hues that the quickly darkening sky gave off that she didn't realize when a Clanmate appeared at her side.
