Quote: Thistlepaw nodded, padding out of camp. "Everyone flocks to the nursery whenever someone kits," Thistlepaw commented.
Skypaw padded silently next to him, nodding slowly in agreement. "Yeah," she agreed, looking around.
Thistlepaw crouched down as she saw the ferns rustle at the roots. He tasted the air. Vole. He waited for just the moment to strike...
Skypaw copied Thistlepaw's actions, crouching next to him. Her ears were perked, eyes wide. Her tail waved back and forth.
Thistlepaw pounced, killing the mouse quickly and swiftly.
Skypaw let her tense muscles relax as she regained her full height again. "Nice catch," the young she-cat purred.
"Thanks," Thistlepaw purred, burying his catch to retrieve later.
Skypaw smiled, and lifted her head to taste the air. There was a slight scent of dove somewhere nearby.
