And I wonder..(open)

[Foxx.xy.!]

Blinding sunlight. A warm breeze whistled though the swaying grass. The tall golden stalks parted as a jet black paw peeked through. A tiny black and white she cat emerged in silence. Her deep blue eyes glistened in the suns rays. The young warrior journeyed farther into the feilds. Each pawprint bending the grass to the ground, ahe left a trail behind her. The grass was especially long at this time of the year, and with her height it was hard to see through them. But the scent of riverclan was strong. She stopped dead when the scent had become so strong it burned her eyes. Not because of how it smelled, but what It reminded her of. Late at night Skyracer wondered what her like would be like on the other side. All she had left of a real family was left behind

the wind carried the scent of another cat from an opposing direction onward. the wind whipped at the grass, tugged at the cats fur, blew across the open moorland. to skyseer, it was not an unpleasant feeling. she padded forward, enjoying the feeling of sunlight on her fur. she carried a small sparrow in her jaws, one wing held in her teeth so that it's delicate body stretched out. she held her head high so that it would not drag the ground.

she found her face to face with one of her clan-mates, skyracer. she smiled around the bird's wing and proceed in lightly dropping it at her paws. "hi skyracer! lovely day, isn't it?", she asked nicely. her eyes caught something of longing in the other she-cat's eyes, but she dismissed it and smiled cheerfully. every cat in the forest had burdens. they weren't her business.

[Foxx.xy.!]

Startled, Skyracer whipped around. Her hair rising in alarm on the back of her neck. Claws unsheathed. She breathed out a sigh of relief as she realized who she was dealing with.
"Oh Skyseer." She looked around to check if any other cats were follwing her.
Had I been that distracted to not realize her coming?
"Yes quite the nice day."
Skyracer eplied. A fake smile plastered across her face.

[/sablee//shadow///]

skyseer's whiskers trembled with slight amusement. "no worries, i come in peace", she chuckled lightheartedly, surveying sky racer's unsheathed claws. jumpy much? she licked a black-gray paw and then rubbed at her ear with it, as if being glad it hadn't been clawed on accident in the surprise of the moment. "soooo.. what are you doing? i was going to head back to camp..",

skyseer paused, throwing a glance at her catch of fresh-kill for the clan. "...but we could hunt or talk or something together if you wanted" she unsheathed a single claw and drug it slowly across the ground underneath in a subtle manner, wondering if she sounded desperate or flowery. she did not want to be like some delicate little flower, dainty and sweet scented and annoying. suddenly she was nervous. it was a random feeling. but she missed having a real friend terribably.

[Foxx.xy.!]

Skyracer scanned Skyseer as the new cat studied her. Something about the look in her eyes.....a sudden feeling hit her in the chest so hard it felt like she had been kicked in the stomach. Maybe she wasnt the only lonley one.
Skycatcher had always been social and bright. Friendlyand up for games. But she realized, maybe in the midst of it all, she never found a true friend. Maybe thats what she had needed all along.
Skyracer gazed at the she cat who was dwindling with some limp peice of fresh kill.
Sure, lets head back to camp together. She mewed. We can talk on the way back. She attempted a friendly smile,but on the inside she was sweating in her fur. Something about this cat....there was something special about her.

(skyracer and skyseer xD haha thats pretty cool. justt sayin')

"sounds good to me", skyseer said with a shrug. she looked around, eyes scaling the land. they were closer to the border than the camp. she didn't read into the skyracer's body language too much. she-cats are complicated beings, even more complicated to decode. and sometimes the truth was not pleasant. she picked up the sparrow, trying to arrange it in her mouth in a functional way that would allow her to talk and grasp it at the same time. she walked at an average pace, not taking the lead. she fell in step with skyracer.

when she spoke her voice was muffled from the dead sparrow, and her mouth felt dry. and she wasn't too sure what to say to break the silence. "oh, kyacer, were yu jus walkin roun? ya oww, gettinn way om campp?", skyseer's words came out distorted. she laughed at herself automatically, and had to clamp her jaws shut to avoid dropping the fresh-kill from her jaws.

[Foxx.xy.!]

Skyracer laughed,
Sorry, I don't speak bird. She couldn't understand. She flicked her ears playfully.She had never really payed much attention to Skyseer before this point, she had never really read too much into other cats though. As they walked side by side ,Skyracer felt the scent if Riverclan fade as they approached the camp. But it really didn't matter at the moment. She was too disracted.She was too focused on this new friend. Something about her struck Skyracers intrest. Something about her....
Why are you hunting alone?

[/sablee//shadow///]

skyseer tilted her head at the other she-cat and grinned. she opened her mouth to talk, but her voice was muffled by the bird once again. a few more steps and she dropped her piece of fresh kill. she stopped where she was standing and laughed. "bird is a complicated language", she mused, her tail flicking one way and the other. it unsettled a couple blades of grass. she looked toward camp, then her amber eyes flickered to the sky. they returned to skyracer for a moment. there was no reason to rush. "i have no idea really. i just felt like i should go hunting...alone. kinda strange", she shrugged her lean shoulders and gave the ruffled fur on her chest a couple licks. she didn't really want to express how she preferred to be alone mostly, so she didn't. "what i was trying to say was... what are you doing out here alone? just getting away?.."

[Foxx.xy.!]

Skyracer looked at her paws. She flicked her whiskers.
"Nothing, just needed to get away." she lied. She looked into the distance. The truth wasnt something she needed to know.

[/sablee//shadow///]

the other she-cat nodded in agreement, she didn't question further, and if she noticed the lie she didn't make it known at all. "I know that feeling!", she said, yawning, and then stretching, before giving her black-gray pelt a shake. her fur was naturally messy, like it was always windblown. she never tried to fix it. "sometimes you just have to get away from everything for awhile. its nice to, anyways"

[Foxx.xy.!]

Skyracer smirked,"hah, " she managed. "your a clever one." she flicked her tail in amusement at the cat. She looked ahead, squinting past the blinding sunlight.
"hmph," she snorted " looks like we've nearly reached camp." the riverclan scent had completely faded by now. All the lingered in the air was the faint scent of rabbits and her clan.

[/sablee//shadow///]

skyseer smiled and nodded, despite the sun shining in her eyes. the pupil of her amber eyes changed to a thin slit and her amber eyes shone in the light until she blinked a couple of times and tucked her head downward, hiding her eyes from the bright light. she paused, as they drew into sight of the camp entrance, the moorland stretching all around it, and flicked skyracer with the tip of her tail playfully. "your clever too; i suppose great minds think alike"
