Muddy Toes

[alcides]

    Today the morning proved to be a challenge for the normally-an-early-bird she-cat. While she typically found solace in the bright rays that awoke every cat from their slumber, she found that the cool night had left the marshlands especially damp. Her paws stuck in the thick, gloppy mud and she was forced to drag through the spots where it seemed the mud was deepest. This all meant she would need to take extra care in grooming later today, for it would not all come out on it's own. I suppose that'll give me some time to relax, Sunfrost thought.  
    A serious expression stayed composed on her small features, and her eyes scanned the area with great care. She supposed she'd do some hunting as the prey animals were awakening as well, hoping to catch them in a morning daze. However, she seemed to be having trouble just spotting the things. Perhaps their numbers were still low from leaf-bare, she assumed, opening her maw to scent the air. It was hard to see movement through the tall grasses, so she kept her ears pricked, hoping to hear something move in the muddy terrain, be it cat or prey.

Typically Crowstar wasn't fond of being up so early however she couldn't spend a moment longer in her den, it was stifling being amongst the silence of it without the sounds multiple warriors sleeping around her. She had been the leader for a couple seasons and she still hadn't gotten use to the strange nest. She sighed as she found herself in her territory walking carefully amongst the mud. The wet paws and belly didn't bother the large she-cat, she found the damp coldness woke her from her sleep and helped ward off her wary feelings. Suddenly she recognized a familiar scent, she twitched her ears in surprised when she realized it was another Shadowclan cat. She nosed her way through the grasses until she could clearly spot the orange and white pelt. "Mornin' Sunfrost, I didn't expect to see you out here alone."  notes: (n/a)

    Sunfrost's attention focused on her leader as she saw the black and white she-cat come into view. She should of been able to smell the cat before she saw her, so she couldn't help but slightly chide herself on missing it. She was a little off her game today, so to speak. Nevertheless, when she saw Crowstar, she greeted the cat with a dip of the head before speaking up. "I just thought I'd make the most of this morning, though no one else was up yet. I'm still over-enjoying the warm mornings since it's now newleaf. I was starting to feel leafbare would never end!" It was very much true for her, as she wasn't a fan of the colder seasons. She enjoyed sunning and going out in the early mornings, and it was simply too cold during leafbare to do that latter, and without much of a bright sun around, the former was difficult as well. It all seemed to be looking up with this new season; something she was very grateful  for.
