"Oh, that's okay, I don't really mind to be spooked once in a while. A bit of fun is never bad..." Berryshine trailed off, looking down. "Um...I wasn't trying to fish, though. I just...like watching the river sparkle. I know it sounds silly."

"There's no shame in admiring lovely things." Foxripple purred with a flirty tease, his blue eyes glowing with energy. He mewed to her. "Here. You keep looking, and I'll catch us a fish or two. Riverclan will need it with this cold!"

"Uh, well..." Berryshine hesitated, then shook her head. "It wouldn't be fair of me to do nothing while you work for our clan. I'll help you fishing."

"Whatever the she-cat desires." Foxripple smiled, though he certainly found it far more fun to fish in a pair than alone. His thick fur made even the bitterly cold water bearable. He waded in and offered. "I'll spook em towards you."

Berryshine followed him into the icy water. "I will leave the spooking to the expert, then." She smiled shyly and readied herself to catch any fish that might come her way.

Foxripple gave a warm laugh, before he crouched and make a ruckus, searching for flashes of silver to guide to Berryshine. After a while, he finally managed to usher a fish close to her.

Berryshine stood motionless, like a statue made of nothing but lifeless rock, until the fish had ventured into the reach of her claws. Then she moved like a blur, catching her prey and flinging it onto the riverbank, where the safety of the river would stay forever out of its reach. "You are really good at spooking.", she meowed, seemingly a bit unsure if he would count her words as a compliment or not.

"Woohoo! Fish team!" Foxripple cheered, before he scampered onto the bank and bowed before Berryshine. "Thank you for your compliments! I am indeed the spook master!" He joked.

Berryshine felt her ears heat up slightly in embarrassment when he bowed before her. "You're...uh...welcome..." The small she-cat looked down at her paws again. "Shall we...well...bring the fish back to camp now, or...you know...try to catch another one? I mean...it's pretty cold, so it's not like it's going to go bad if it's lying on the riverbank for a bit."

"We'll go for one more." Foxripple decided, flopping on his belly as he peered down into the water. "Eyes on the prize, Berryshine! We'll be here a while!"

Berryshine nodded, getting back into position as well, trying to be as rocklike as possible.

Foxripple stalked behind Berryshine, having seen her come out to look at the water. The ginger tom gave a loud "Boo!" Smogstorm turned to look at Ottermask, calm yet slightly ruffled with sheepishness. The quiet she-cat placed the fish down in the elder's den before limping to her favorite companion. "Just helping out a bit. Some exercise to warm me." She explained. Ottermask flicked his ear. He couldn't blame her for wanting to help. He flicked his tail, glancing around rather awkwardly. "Maybe you could help us find more brambles for the elder's den?"

Smogstorm gave a bright flash of her eyes as she nodded quickly, pulling her dead leg along with as much regality and strength as she could muster. Diamondheart marveled at her drive and lack of self-pity.
"She has a brilliant soul, that she-cat." Diamondheart mewed to Ottermask.

Ottermask only glanced at the deputy in reply. "I'm sure Smogstorm and I can handle the brambles if you need to get patrols going, Diamondheart."

Diamondheart gave a look of both relief and reluctance. "Are you certain? I don't want to overwork you both." He mewed, though his paws itched to organize the next patrols.

Ottermask gave Diamondheart a look that indicated that he wanted to be alone with Smogstorm. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure."

Diamondheart perked in sudden understanding, eyes bright with innocent joy as he nodded. "Alright then. Many thanks!" He moved to pad towards his other clanmates.
Smogstorm returned after a while, dragging in brambles in a slow yet determined limping gate. She knew she couldn't battle or hunt land prey anymore, but she did enjoy doing small tasks in camp. Dropping the bramble, she mewed softly to Ottermask. "There you go...Ah, thanks, for understanding. I know the clan wants me resting, but why miss out on chances to help my clan?"

Ottermask helped her with the brambles. "I understand. It can be rather boring being stuck in one place all the time."

"Yes. I just hope the clan doesn't think I need to be overfed just because of my leg." Smogstorm shook her head and looked at the nursery. "We have too many kits to waste efforts on me...I'm sure I can still fish if I lay on the banks."

OTtermask flicked his ear and a frown slipped onto his face. "But the banks of the river are all frozen."

"Then I lay at the edge of the ice. I don't weigh much." Smogstorm offered, though it was unclear if she was joking or not. She hummed. "Then I just wait until it unfreezes enough to catch something."
|
|

Post by 🌙Moonpower🌙 on Jan 4, 2018 11:35:25 GMT -5
Ottermask flicked his ear. "I would prefer if you waited til it unfroze. I'd hate for you to fall through and get trapped under it."

"If I did, I suppose I'd have you to save me." Smogstorm's mew was soft yet filled with her own kind of bravery. She gave a small smile. "Not a bad thought..."

Post by 🌙Moonpower🌙 on Jan 4, 2018 12:00:17 GMT -5
Ottermask felt his ears grow hot. "I would certainly drown with you if I couldn't save you," he heard himself say

Smogstorm felt her ears grow warm, a little flush in her pelt from the words. It felt...nice.
The black she-cat turned to look at Ottermask, voice soft and humored as she shook her head. "No, you're not allowed to drown. So I guess we'll just have to swim...I bet I could do it, even with three legs. Maybe with a good teacher too?" She replied with another small smile.

Ottermask perked up at her words. "When the water unfreezes, I'd love to help you swim again. I could show you how Earthstar taught Deadpaw."

(Hi Hi)
Diamondheart called for cats to gather for patrols.
Smogstorm gave a gentle smile, though her eyes betrayed her deep happiness at the offer. "You...you'd really do that for me?"
Ivymask gave a purr as Bubblekit stalked towards Swankit, before the younger kit pounced on Swankit's back. The queen snickered to Venomspirit. "You've got little fighters, huh?"
