Open Hunting

[sliverfeather]

Leafstar padded quitely along and then said to Hailstrike," It's nice to be out of the camp for once, not having to worry about the apprentices, or elders, or hunting patrols for once." The sudden warmth washed over her just like if the sun was shining directly on her. She sat down gracefully and gave her chest fur a few quick licks.

Hailstrike glanced sideways at her, noticing her ease and powerful presence. "Must be," he commented understandingly, "I bet if I was leader I would just hide in my den and never come out. I can't stand high pressure." He curled his tail experimently. "You've been working pretty hard for the clan lately, I think you need a few hunts like this."

[sliverfeather]

Leafstar sighed"I know but there's so much to do and not as much time as there used to be. Starclan must trust me if they gave me my nine lives, but I'll try some more of these hunts." She heard the scuffle of a mouse and pranced towards it. With one swift hit of her paw she mouse moved no more. "Want to share before we go on?" Leafstar asked happliy.

[skyfire]

"Sure," Hailstrike brightened at the idea, "I'm really, really hungry!" He took a medium sized bite and chewed thoughtfully. "You probably could give Goldenpelt some more responsibility and I could help some more, if it means you taking off some time." Hailstrike glanced at Leafstar with genuine concern, "I just don't want you to get over-stressed."

(I have an idea for a little miniplot thing. How 'bout later Leafstar sees him flirting with another she-cat and she starts avoiding him cause she doesn't want to talk about it. They have a little argument and then Hailstrike tells her that he loves her and everything. Happy ending!)

[sliverfeather]

"Yes I think that I will do that." Leafstar replyed after she was done chewing. "I wont get over stressed I promise." she purred and then though"Hailstrike must cares if she is trying to deal with things like this. Maybe he's the one."

[[That would be cool with me!!]]

[skyfire]

"Okay!" Hailtsrike responded, "And would you possibly let your own personal servant to take you on these wonderful trips of freedom and hunting?" He bowed again, the half-smile on his face. He enjoyed the she-cat's company, and really wanted to get to know her more.

[sliverfeather]

Leafstar laughed and said"As long as its not interfering with Gempaw's training I would not mind. Come on we better get back to camp, there will be a boarder patrol that needs to go out soon." She stood up and streached. She looked and the tom and just smiled for no reason.

[skyfire]

"Yup," Hailstrike stretched, flexing his tail and legs. He turned to the she-cat and, instead of flashing her his quick playful smile, he grinned slowly, feeling a strange warmth from her own smile. "C'mon, race ya back to camp," his smile turned mischevious as he took off.

Leafstar yowled and took off after the tom. On the way she slowey began to pick up her leadership self and became stern.
