[ti]Private[/ti]A Simple Stroll

[Mama]

Briarfrost glanced around the deep forest, looking towards the deep green undergrowth and the swinging vines. Birds could be heard and she hoped that Starclan was giving them a good hunt. The area was full of plenty of areas where prey could burrow, and where cats like her could drive them out.

Her patrol companion, a huge tom named Wolfclaw, was tagging along with her. He was much taller and fluffier, and made the she-cat look like a kit. He wasn't too bad looking however, and she just hoped he wasn't the one to ruin patrols with complaints or make fun of their size differences. 


Of course, she needed to not focus on these things. If they were to get some kills out of this, they should put their strengths together. He looked a bit strong, while the grey and white she-cat was lithe and small, not build for fighting. Maybe she could drive the prey to him? Her nose twitched as she thought of the ideas, and the taste of mouse quickly crept into her maw as her ears perked with slight excitement.

Wolfclaw

Wolfclaw's terrifying yellow eyes looked around the lush forest, Observing the rather beautiful, green scenery as he sniffed for signs of prey, his ears perked and alert. Hopefully the two warriors would be able to find something to bring home to their Clan.

The large male looked down at Briarfrost as the two padded through the forest beside one another. They were assigned a hunting patrol together, and Wolfclaw had a feeling the pretty she-cat would be a good partner, regardless of how much smaller she was than him.

The scent of mouse reaching the muscular male's nose was enough to make him lower, as his body was too large to be left at his normal height. Spotting the mouse through the undergrowth, Wolfclaw's captivating yellow gaze met Briafrost's own brown one as he signaled with his head for her to go around the opposite way as him. Hopefully she understood what he had in mind. With him being stronger and her faster, it was a common and reasonable tactic for her to scare the rodent to him, for him to kill. Stalking the opposite way as her and circling around their prey, Wolfclaw would wait for the she-cat

Extra notes; new table. Kinda digging it XD

[ ooh, i like the new table!] \





Briarfrost was  a bit surprised by this, it wasn't often her ideas were even considered over the traditional 'pounce and catch' method. That was a good start, at least, as they seemed to be on the same wavelength of thoughts. 



With a twitch of her ear in approval, the slender she-cat started to silently trot forwards, her paws landing quietly over the leaves and finding the gaps where it would not make as much sound. Her tail curled elegantly at her heels, bouncing lightly as she walked around the mouse. Tasting the air, there was only a bit of wind going downhill, making it perfect for her to drive it into the colossal warrior's paws.



Pushing her head through one of the smaller shrubs, she could already see the critter, and with a lunge of her body the chase suddenly begun. The mouse gave a squeal and raced out, and with three others following. Lucky for them, unlucky for the mice, she'd found a small nest with the four. Her tail went straight to the back and curled up slightly, and her eyes were directed on her job: Delivering the prey to Wolfclaw so he could do the kills. 



As they got near, she had to weave back and forth to keep them from separating and ruining the hunt, and her paws darted back and forth with her body.

Wolfclaw

The colossal tom crouched behind the bushes, covered by the green undergrowth. Claws unsheathed and paws kneading restlessly on the ground as he waited for the single mouse to come running towards the hunter hiding unseen, unaware of its foreseen demise at the end of long, sharp claws, its death sealed by fate.

Peeking through, he saw that the prey was headed towards him and prepared to leap. But, it was not one mouse, but multiple. She had found more and was herding them towards him with excellent movements. Swiping his pink tongue across his charcoal lips, the terrifying warrior pounced from his hiding spot, landing on the scurrying mice, killing one by one, and probably one killed by Briarfrost.

With multiple dead mice at the massive, bloodied feet of the large tom, his captivating yet intimidating yellow gaze fell upon the rather beautiful she-cat, no doubt tired from the skillful weaving and maneuvering in order to guide the rodents to their death. Wolfclaw nodded,"Impressive tactic." he said, his tail moving behind him. It was rare for the reserved tom to compliment another, and doing so was a sign of respect if he was to speak words he seldom spoke. Though his face was as stoic and aloof as usual, respect and possibly attraction, though the latter harder to see rather than the former, could be seen in the usually emotionless yellow eyes of the larger warrior, though he would deny it if pried.

Extra notes; cx dude colossal has always been my go-to adjective for Wolf XD

As the tom went after the mice she'd directed towards him, one decided to be a bit more sneaky and turn around to face her. With a dart of her small paw, she quickly dug her thin claws into it's pelt and hooked the creature. With a swift yank, she pulled the mouse to her and nipped it's neck swiftly.

Briarfrost glanced upwards towards the large feline, who was almost finished with the killing spree, before sitting down as the exhaustion from the burst of movements made her paws start to grow heavy. Her heart banged in her chest, still pumping quickly from the adrenaline, but the rest of her was a bit more slow moving. Her maw was slightly widened as she lowered her head, watching Wolfclaw finish the hunt off.

"Impressive tactic." The masculine warrior said after a moment, causing her ears to perk up slightly. She'd been on patrols with the tom before, mostly with other cats, and it wasn't too often he said anything approving. Something fluttered in her chest, full of pride and another odd feeling she didn't remember...

Either way, her pale eyes brightened, and the feline gave a faint purr. "T-Thanks! It wouldn't have worked if you weren't so quick with the kills, I have to say that." Briarfrost complimented, her voice kind and sweet as usual. Even when she was sad or trying to be serious, her voice was always a pleasing tone to the ears. Her tail curled around her thin frame, and as she regained enough air, she lifted her head upright once again and closed her hanging jaws.

Wolfclaw

Sharp, yellow eyes watched the female as she responded to his compliment, and he then listened to her reply, a compliment as well. He nodded with a thankful gaze. Although his mouth didn't open to reply with a thank you, his striking eyes revealed he was genuinely appreciative of the compliment. An almost kind look appeared on the tom's face as he watched the female regain her breath and stature, though it was only for a moment.

 Clearing his throat and rising to his full height, Wolfclaw's terrifying yet captivating yellow gaze trailed up to the beautiful sunset at its beginning point, meaning they had some time until complete sundown. He figured they should resume their hunting expedition. Dipping his head and thanking StarClan for the lives of the mice, the muscular warrior buried their kills for them to come back to later and turned to the female. Gesturing with his head for her to follow, the male began trekking further into the forest, tail moving slowly behind him as he padded on with firm, authoritative steps.

Extra notes; sorry, I have no muse right now >.<
