Coldshard was suprised by the medicine cat apprentice's skill. She had no hunting experience whatsoever. He may have been able to catch one in that setting, but he knew that he would never be able to catch one in the open, where Crowpaw did.
He was surprised by Crowpaw's sudden generosity toward him and wondered why none had been offered to Thunderwave. Crowpaw probably thinks I look wiry, but I am way better fed than him.
"Thank you, Heronpaw," he said. He stood back and waited for the younger cats to eat first, wondering if he should even accept it. Heronpaw hadn't even offered it to him. "Actually, that's ok," he said. "I can do some hunting for myself, if that's ok?"
He took a hesitant step for the forest, ears already turning towards the sound of a mouse rustling in the undergrowth.
