[ti]Private[/ti]Playful Pranks

(He is my innocent child.)

Shadowpaw bends his legs a bit to better keep his balance, but he does so without much of a problem. He also doesn’t dig his claws into Copper’s back and instead can keep his balance without his claws to steady them. His small tail flips back and forth to help him.

“Yes!” He easily agrees to a visit to the freshkill pile, especially if his noble steed will carry him there. The lil guy needs to gain a fair bit of weight anyways, food certainly won’t hurt him.

“Yes!” 

"Good, good."

Coppertuft smiled.

He liked this apprentice, he'll take a note to start hanging out with him more.

He trotted around the camp with Shadowpaw on his back, earning a few stares.

'Guess it isn't really something you'd see everyday:

A warrior happily going around camp with an apprentice on his back.

Shadowpaw likes this warrior: mental note made, Coppertuft is cool. Shadowpaw has a smile on his little kitten face as he is carried around. This is a far cry from the days when Shadowpaw was walking all day every day; he finds it nice to just be carried around, even if they aren’t really going anywhere. He sits back a bit, easily adjusting to Copper’s gait. Copper is now his steed, Shadow is happy.

Coppertuft steadily made his way over to the fresh-kill pile with Shadowpaw.
When they had made it there, Coppertuft laid down, letting Shadowpaw slide off his back.
He picked a squirrel for himself and sat down, gnawing through the fur.

As the Coppertufttrain comes to a stop at the freshkill pile, Shadowpaw lets himself slide off the much larger cat’s back. “Thanks for the ride!” Shadow grins up at the friendly warrior. As Copper pulls a squirrel off the pile for himself, Shadow grabs a mouse. He carries his meal over to Copper and plops down next to his new friend, contentedly munching away on his food.

[GnawingOnIce]

"Thanks for the ride!" Shadowpaw grinned up at him.
Coppertuft smiled back, "No problem!"
The apprentice picked out a mouse and laid down beside him, eating away at his mouse.
Coppertuft was sure that this was the start to a new friendship, and yes, he was really happy about it.

[silverfang218]

Shadowpaw starts to purr a bit as he sits beside his companion, the young cat’s rough and raspy voice making his purr sound like soft thunder. It isn’t until after a moment or two have passed that Shadow looks up from his meal. “Hey, Coppertuft? Will you be my friend?” Shadow mews in a very serious voice, his purring silenced for the moment. It is, after all, a very serious question or at least to Shadowpaw it is. When Shadow becomes friends with someone, he considers them family like a big brother or sister. His real question is will you be my big bro, Copper?

[GnawingOnIce]

As Coppertuft was licking the remaining morsels of his meal from his jaws, Shadowpaw asked,
"Hey, Coppertuft? Will you be my friend?"
Coppertuft smiled down at the apprentice,
"Of course I'll be your friend! I don't see why I wouldn't."

[silverfang218]

Shadowpaw grins up at his new friend, puffing out his chest a little bit. He looks very pleased with himself that he was able to make friends; the tiny cat quickly finishes the last couple bites of his mouse before licking his whiskers clean. Then, he leans against Coppertuft’s side, reveling in Copper’s fluff. Yes yes, good friend. Shadow like.

[GnawingOnIce]

When Shadowpaw had finished his prey, he leaned against Coppertuft's side.
This caught Coppertuft off guard, making him jump.
But then he realized it was only Shadowpaw, nothing dangerous.
He smiled down at Shadowpaw, curling his tail around him.
