Good Hunting (P)

[americanfacepalm]

Duskjaw was antsy. Duskjaw was very antsy. He was nervous about the Clan's health with the sickness and what that meant for the future. He hoped and prayed to StarClan that that did not mean they would go to war at all or, even worse, die out. So, he went off to do that he did best: hunt. He figured that, with all the sick cats, they could use a few extra pieces of prey. The tom made to leave the camp quietly when he noticed Sweetbriar all alone. Oh, he could not leave her here by herself! 

"W... want to hunt with me?" he murmured to her gently. "I think the Clan needs prey now more than ever, with it being leafbare and all."M'Lady

Much like Dusk, Sweetbriar was worried about her clan. The poor dears! Every cat was coughing and ill, she had been lucky to not get sick. She was a strong healthy warrior, and apparently that helped against getting the disease. She sighed, her creamy fur ruffled against the cold air, when a voice caught her attention. She glanced over with bright emerald eyes, finding Duskjaw as the owner of said voice. He came up to her, asking her if she wanted to hunt, and she quickly nodded. The clan needed anything that it could get, it was important for the healthier cats to help in any way possible.

"Sure," She told the gentle cat warmly, rising to her paws. "We can go to the fields, we'll have better luck there." The older warrior decided, flicking her tail in the direction of that part of the territory. "Hopefully some rabbits will wander out of their dens."

Duskjaw was not as strong, healthy, or imposing as Sweetbriar, but he was not sick yet. That was good, at least. Her emerald eyes, though, made him feel shy and small. Oh, why was it so hard interacting with other cats! Yet she seemed to agree with him, rather than deny him, which made his life easier.

He nodded at her words. "Prey do seem to like the fields," he said, making for the direction she pointed in. "It seems a little warmer today, so I think there will be at least some forage from them. If there's none out, we can go to the usual burrowing spots."
