Another overcast summer's day was no surprise. For the height of greenleaf, it sure was cloudy. Once again, Bluebird found herself slinking through The Atari's territory, in search of some peace away from all the young. A bustling camp was fun, but even she liked some downtime now and then. She was just only getting used to her role as a keeper. If you'd have told her she'd end up like this 6 moons ago, well, she'd probably try to claw your eyes out. But it was strange. She felt far more useful to the Atari than she would as a Trapper or even a Claw. It was like she could finally relax, maybe? She could help out without constantly pushing herself to her limit, or being bored out of her mind. Still, her supposed failure to become a claw weighed down on her, as much as she tried to hide it. Sure, she held her head high and acted like she didn't care, but what else was she to do? It's true she loved being a keeper, it's true she was happier as one. But her perceived judgement from others weighed down on her like a second coat of fur. She shook it off. She could do without those doubts. This was meant to be her time to explore the territory, to relax or have some fun.
Every time she was out, she made sure to check her and her sister's 'hiding place'. Almost a cave - a little crack in the mountain face. If anyone else knew of it, they certainly didn't enter. She zipped through the entrance, and quickly lay down where she could just about see out. It was quite spacious, for a little crevice. Paws crossed neatly, she lay in wait. If her and Skill were on the same wavelength today, she'd certainly drop by soon. Hopefully it was so - she could do with a chat. It was far harder to get a hold of her siblings during the day, now that they all had different roles to fill.

Skrill smiled from the shadows behind her sister, her black and orange pelt melting into the darkness like it was her own fur. It was always nice to hang out here with Bluebird to get away from the cats of Atari. The molly loves the Atari, but sometimes it is too much for her. Slowly, she started to stalk forward, her tail lashing slowly behind her like a snake ready to strike. The shadows started to melt away from Skrill's pelt as she got closer, the light from the entrance shining onto her.
She wasn't this playful with everyone else in the Atari, Skrill believed they didn't need it. But she believed her siblings needed some sort of affection and some playfulness after a long day of helping the Atari. The molly stalked as quietly as she could until she was right behind Bluebird, then whispered the word, "Boo." with a smile, her orange eyes gleaming playfully.

Hearing her sister's voice hiss into her ear, Bluebird flew across the cavern, almost jumping out of her fur. "Oh . My . Goodness ." The frazzled keeper gasped, catching her breath. Skrill certainly had a way of moving silently - basically the polar opposite to Bluebird. Sure, she'd anticipated Skill's arrival, but she had not anticipated that surprise. Shaking the surprise out her system, she jumped up to her sister, playfully batting her round the ears, "You never change, do ya?" She smirked, "So, what're you doing here, huh?" The grey she-cat tilted her head in Skrill's face, "trapper duties got ya down?" She teased, knowing how seriously her sibling took her work.
