Sunkissed Creek

[corgigirl]

(No that fine!)

Fernblaze smiled that the toms excitement and seemingly wonder like awe. She took a few light steps and splashed around in the creek, batting some water towards Duckfluff, trying to get him as wet as possible. "I like to sunbath, splash around, hunt maybe fish even though I'm not very good at it. I usually don't come here with other people but when I do I like to talk." She was still in the creek and the long haired tabby giggled as she ran though the shallow parts. There were some small minnows, and they darted away from her pounding paws. The water was chilly but refreshing and though it was cold the sun still warmed her pelt.

~^~ Duckfluff ~^~

Splash! A shiver went up his spine as Fernblaze flicked water into him. Cold! Cold! Cold! He shook it off with a grin and followed her into the pond. Shockingly it was even colder here. He was relieved that she hadn’t just wanted to sit around. Not that he didn’t like talking, he was just in a playful mood. Although lately he was like that all the time. Is this what having kits did to a cat? He had thought it would be the opposite.

We’ll definitely need to sunbathe, like she said after this though to ward off the cold. That was a tomorrow problem, though. For now they could have fun! He splashed her back. ”Don’t think I’ll just let you get away with that!” He splashed her again. The minnows were in shambles now. They were completely assaulted on every side! Not a one could be found after Duckfluff entered.

A few more stalks of marigold between her teeth, Cinderpaw padded back over to where the patrol had separated from eachother, kitten in tow. Her paws were thankful to be on dry (and comparatively warm) land. She peered over to see her two other grey-furred patrolmates... chewing away on some plants? She raised an eyebrow.

"You a-all okay over there?" The apprentice asked, curious lilt entering her voice. She attempted to shake away a weirdly tempting scent entering her nose; there was a task at hand. "We should probably wrap it up sooner rather tha-than later. Can't im-imagine we'll skip out on a scolding for b-b-bringing the stowaways." Despite her talk of an imminent punishment, there was mirth in her voice. These were the kind of moments of calm she could appreciate.

(2 marigold + 3 = 5)

Sunkissed Creek... So many memories here.

Sootfur trotted up to the clearing where many moons before he'd hunted with Flamehearts and tried to swim. The little stream was now frozen, and the trees had lost its leaves or changed color. It looked much different now, in leaf-bare.

Sootfur stopped and turned to his apprentice. "This is Sunkissed Creek, Quietpaw. A peaceful place where a thin river crosses our territory, and to find good hunting."

"If you follow the stream you can be sure you'll never lose yourself. Also, the river is very shallow and never floods, so it doesn't prove a threat to us. But always be aware;" he added quickly, catching Quietpaw's eyes. "Even though it's mainly not dangerous, I wouldn't walk on it right now. You don't want to fall in a freezing tunnel of water enclosed by earth and ice." He shot her a warning glance, seriousness now in his tone.

Sootfur wasn't a very experienced warrior, compared to many others; but he had imagination. He knew that a cat could be trapped under the ice, and be carried away by the water flow...
The thought made his back shiver, but he quickly grounded himself again.

The gray tabby then softened his gaze and stared questioningly Quietpaw, waiting some sort of reaction or sign of doubts on her face. How will I know what she wants to tell me?

I'm so ready to hunt!
The slick gray tabby made his way in the thick mantle of snow that covered the ground, feeling his pads growing colder and colder at each paw step. But it didn't really matter, not right now. How different would it be hunting in the snow? He was too curious to try out.

Glancing around, he looked at her clanmate after a good sniffing in the icy air. "Do you smell anything?" He whispered softly. The forest was so silent... He didn't want to break it with his voice. Every creature would hear him then.

IceWing nodded, padding behind the Tom. “A mouse, two actually.” Her tail pointed to a spot of moving snow. “The mouse is burrowed underneath the snow. It’s very easy to lose because they just stop moving when they hear a noise...” she was basically whispering, “Watch.” IceWing got very low and crawled in the snow. Once she got to the pocket of moving snow, she pounced like a fox. You could hear a crunch underneath her paws. “And like that,” she picks up her kill. “The clan is fed!” Her tactic seemed so effortless. She must’ve spent hours developing her skills when she had the chance.

Sootfur was genuinely stunned at Icewing's skills. She wasn't lying at all when she'd said she was really great at this. "Woah!" He exclaimed, trotting over to inspect her catch. "That was incredible! How did you know it was hidden right there?" I want to learn as well! And the next mouse will be mine!

“In a sea of white,” she began, “you must find the difference. If everything smells damp and well,,, scentless… smell for something. Wether that be a herb or prey itself. Chances are, whatever you smelt, something else smelt too…” she began to dig at the spot she had caught the mouse to reveal some heavily dried marigold. “In Leafbare, your nose is your best friend.”

Sootfur listened with interest, trying to imagine a fox doing the same exact thing. Can we really be as good as a fox's nose then? But it seemed that Icewing had just proven it true.
"Well, now's my turn I guess." He replied excitedly, flicking his tail and turning around to get a good sniff from all the directions. Yes, a mouse was somewhere there.

The gray tabby crouched and headed toward the snow-covered roots of a tall tree, laying his paws as lightly as he could on the white covered ground. He was sure prey would easily hear the cracks of the snow above the ground, so he wouldn't be able to get too close.
He waited in a crouched stance for a few minutes, his heart thumping hard, waiting to hear other signs of life. Suddenly a tiny muzzle appeared from a small hole, and Sootfur sprang toward it with legs outstretched, ready to dig his claws in the cold snow.

As he landed, he created a splash of white all around him from which he emerged with a gray mouse in his jaws. He glanced at Icewing, trying to smile widely with the furry creature in his mouth.
