[ti]Private[/ti]A Hunting We Shall Go!

[Dragon]

Tumblefoot stood out in the clearing grooming himself. He had just returned from the dawn patrol. Now he was due to head out and do some hunting but he didn't want to go alone. As he groomed himself his eyes scanned the camp looking for his mate. He wondered where she could be. But when Tumblefoot finally spotted her he purred softly and shook his head. He shouldn't be surprised not really. Snowstorm loved kits and couldn't wait to be a mom. He got up and padded towards her than nuzzled her cheek as a greeting. "How was everything in the nursery? Do they need anything? If they don't I was wondering if you would like to go to Lampsi Forest and do some hunting with me."

Snowstorm gave a small purr as she headed out of the nursery. She of course already told her mate, that she want kits someday. She noticed her mate when she left the nursery. The white molly purred and nuzzled her mate. "They seem fine. Gave them some feathers for the kits to play with and some for their nests after I finished my bird earlier." she meowed.

The queens inside the nursery said another warrior came by and gave them and the kits some prey earlier. "So the nursery should be fine. Yes, let's go hunting." she meowed. She has started back to her warrior duties since she got over her bad coughing that was white couch. Thank Starclan it didn't get worse and change to Greenough.

Tumblefoot purred happily as Snowstorm told him all about the kits and how she had given the queens feathers for their nest and a couple of feathers for the kits to play with. That was his Snowstorm always thinking of those in the nursery. He licked her muzzle and twined his tail with hers. "Maybe we can find something for the kits to play with while we're out there." With that he guided his mate towards the entrance passing the medicine cats den where Silvermist was still laying in. Her whitecough had turned to greencough. He was lucky that Snowstorm hadn't gotten as sick. "Where do you want to go hunting?"

[Deleted]

Snowstorm nodded her head in agreement, at maybe picking something for the kits to play with while they were out there. She felt bad for her new friend Silvermist as her cough has turned to green-cough. She promised to check in on Silvermist's kits when she could while the queen got over her green-cough.

Where should they hunt? She wasn't sure right now. "Let's go to Lampsi forest." she meowed. She figured the forest would have the best luck with prey with leaf-bare still hanging around. She pressed against him purring some as she made her way out of camp.

[Dragon]

Tumblefoot nodded his head at the suggestion to go to Lampsi Forest. "Alright lets head on out and hope we find something good to bring back for the clan." He headed for the entrance of camp and ran through his head the possibilities of hunting there. They may find thrush and other birds and if they're lucky maybe even catch a squirrel or a mouse or two.

The snow lay thick on the ground making a soft crunch as he left the camp. Later he would have to walk slower and with softer steps but until they got to Lampsi Forest he should be fine for now.

Snowstorm got to her paws and followed her mate out. She fell into step beside him and purred enjoying their time together. Of course, once they got closer the area and she grew quieter as to not scare the prey away. She heard the noise from walking on the snow made as they left camp.

She knew they have to walk slower and try and be quieter. She let her step be quieter as they got closer. Once they were their she scented the air to try and find some prey that they could hunt and hopefully find and bring back to the clan.

Tumblefoot continued to pad forward but this time he walked very slowly and placed each paw down so lightly it didn't make a sound. Breathing in deeply he tried to catch the scent of anything. His ears twitched at the sound of a bird but it was up to high to bother with. Tumblefoot rested his tail on his mates back to let her know to stop when he caught the scent of something. He took another deep breath and listened trying to pinpoint it. It was a rabbit. Crouching down he slowly drew closer until it came into view. Tumblefoot flicked his ear to tell his mate to come up. Once at his said he began to whisper into her ear. "Stay here I'll try to chase it towards you," With that Tumblefoot began to make a wide circle around the rabbit until he knew his scent would be reaching the rabbit and he quickly took off after it. The rabbit let out a squeal of fright and took off running towards Snowstorm.

The white she-cat stopped when her mate placed his tail on her back to let her know to stop. She scented the air and could tell the scent as well. She could scent the rabbit as well and let her mate go ahead. She then saw him twitch his ear for her to come up. She was at his side and listened while he whispered into her ear. She nodded her head so he knew she understood.

She let his head over to began to make a wide circle around the rabbit until his scent reached the rabbit. She saw him chase after the rabbit quickly and noticed the rabbit head right to her. She was of course at the ready and of course, the rabbit didn't notice her till the last second since her white pelt blended in with the snow that some was still on the ground. The rabbit tried to go around her but of course, it didn't help since it noticed her too late and wasn't able to turn out of her reach. She was able to trip the rabbit giving her the time to leap on top of the rabbit and do a swift bite to the neck before it could give them away to any other prey here.

Tumblefoot paused and watched as Snowstorm tripped the rabbit up and killed it. He purred happily and padded over to her. "Good kill," he mewed and nuzzled her. "I knew we could get it if we worked together we make a great team," he purred. He let his tail twine around his mates. "Let's head back this rabbit is big enough for many to eat." Tumblefoot grabbed the rabbit and smiled at Snowstorm.
