Ghostscreech scented the air as they started walking again, trying to find some more prey. He frowned as he couldn’t find anything and looked over at Frostmoon, “Scent anything?” He asked quietly. "Nothing so far..." Frostmoon murmured, her ears flicking with slight aggrivation at the lack of scents. The prey was scarce, that was for sure. She had to focus though, if she was to impress her deputy. She poked her muzzle towards each hollow, pushing away the scent of ash and focusing deeply. Finally, after many moments of searching, she perked up and nodded quickly. "Pigeon. There's a fresh scent."

Ghostscreech nodded, catching the scent after she did, “You go after it, I’ll try and find another one.” He said quietly, scenting the air again.

Frostmoon looked at him for a moment, before she nodded once and slipped away. Thinking quickly, the young warrior crouched down to mat dark soot into her white fur. If anything, it would help her hide from prey now that alot of the underbrush had been burned away. She scouted down the pigeon, licking her muzzle as she eyed the pecking bird. She crouched down low, slipping towards the prey carefully. She took a deep breath before she lunged, striking towards the bird. For a moment, it fluttered its wings to escape. Frostmoon was quicker though, and she credited it to her father's speed. She leaped up, slamming the bird to the ground before biting it quickly.

Ghostscreech flicked his ear as he watched Frostmoon stalk the pigeon, impressed with her idea to dull her white fur with ash on the ground. He turned back to his own search for prey. The deputy dropped into a crouch as he spotted a squirrel scrabbling around in the ash, pouncing on it and snapping its neck quickly.

"I think that's about as much as this area will provide us." Frostmoon sighed dejectedly, though her attention caught onto Ghostcreech's next catch. She blinked, impressed by his skill in hunting, before she laughed lightly. "Starclan, you sure know your way around prey. That squirrel will be popular back at camp." She rarely let herself have a teasing tone, but she felt comfortable doing so in his presence.

Ghostscreech nodded and set the squirrel down, “The clan will eat well tonight.” He said, “The pigeon you caught us still fat, I’m sure the kits will like the feathers more than my squirrel.”

"Well then, we'll just have to divide the feathers up evenly, and split the squirrel with the elders." Frostmoon chuckled lightly, her tail flicking before her fur warmed and she righted herself once more with a small cough. "Ah...well, do you think we should bury them and move on, or maybe take these back to camp?" She asked.

Ghostscreech looked at the prey they had caught thoughtfully before speaking, “Let’s head back. I’m sure the other hunting patrols managed to find some prey if we were able find these.” He said, picking the squirrel up and going back to where he had buried the mouse.

“Alright.” Frostmoon nodded, agreeing with his logic. Starclan, if they hunted this well together, maybe they could do it more often. She glanced at him once, jaws too full of her pigeon to ask that very question. She would simply have to wait until she got back to camp.

Ghostscreech picked the mouse and squirrel up and nodded to Frostmoon, leading the way back to the camp. It was nice to go out hunting after everything that had happened, and the deputy was glad he had asked Frostmoon along with him. Once back at camp, Ghostscreech dropped his mouse and squirrel on the slowly growing fresh-kill pile, glad to see the hunting patrols were doing somewhat okay.

“The camp is looking much better. I would say that our deputy deserves due credit for making things so organized.” Frostmoon murmured as she put per prey down on the pile. She looked at Ghostscreech, her eyes flickering with interest and something less decipherable. “...Maybe, you could take me hunting with you again soon?” She asked.

Ghostscreech blinked at Frostmoon’s question, “Of course. I would like that, Frostmoon.” He said, “You should get some rest, I’m going to go see if the queens would like some prey.”

“I...ah, yes. That’s a good idea. I look forward to it, Ghostscreech.” Frostmoon smiled ever so slightly, before she quickly shook away the strange feeling in her belly. It was weird, but warm. She turned her head lightly, humming out. “Ah, I will...I’ll go rest then. I’ll be back up to help with duties again real soon.”

Sure)
Plumfur silently tried to repair a hole in the warrior's den, feeling leaves crunch under her paws. The combination of fire and falling leaves made the forest quite noisy. She didn't say a word as she scanned a pile of branches, wondering which one to use.

Sure) Plumfur silently tried to repair a hole in the warrior's den, feeling leaves crunch under her paws. The combination of fire and falling leaves made the forest quite noisy. She didn't say a word as she scanned a pile of branches, wondering which one to use. “Here...” Dapplenight murmured softly, moving to lift a sturdy branch towards his mate as he worked a few tail lengths away from her. He preferred being at her side more than anything, the remnants of the fire still flaring his sensitive anxieties. Thank Starclan, that Plumfur was not taken from him. “No coughs today, right? You feel healthy, right?” He fretted.

“Oh... thank you.” Plumfur took the branch from Dapplenight, setting it on the ground momentarily. “I’m feeling better. I’m sure Aspenfall would notice if I wasn’t, so...” she trailed off. “What about you, though? I know the fire was scary...”

“I...I’m okay...” Dapplenight assured, sounding as sure as he could in that moment, though it was clear that he had to steel his courage alot to say it. He looked at Plumfur with relief. “I’m just so grateful that you weren’t taken in the fire. I...I don’t know what I’d do without you.” He admitted, moving to gently press his muzzle to her cheek.

"If you want to take a break, we can." Plumfur reassured him, knowing it had taken a toll on her mate. Having to work on the damage wouldn't help, either. "I'm glad you made it, too."

“Oh, no no.” Dapplenight shook his head lightly. “I want to do as much as I can...I was lucky to not be injured, I...I have plenty to offer in return. And, er, well, I like working with you. It makes me feel better.” Dapplenight admitted, looking at her with soft and assuring eyes. “I’ll get used to all of this soon...”

"I'm glad to hear it." Plumfur felt warm. "But please tell me if you need to take a break. You don't need to grin and bear it for me."

“I’ll tell you.” Dapplenight promised gently, nodding his head to ease her worries. He pulled quickly at another stick before he offered. “Is this one a good size for you?”

Somehow I completely missed this, sorry Blazer)
Plumfur inspected the branch, trying to see if it would fit in the gap in the den. "We can try. I think I can hold it up long enough." she told Dapplenight, grasping the branch with her jaws.

I’ll be back up to help with duties again real soon.” Ghostscreech nodded in agreement, giving her a light smile before he picked up the bird and squirrel. He padded away towards the nursery, planning on giving them the squirrel.

"Knowing you and your strength, I don't doubt it." Dapplenight purred softly, moving to assist his mate as they lifted the branch into place. It was nice to just work with her, put his mind at ease. He swallowed, mewing out. "Orangebreeze's kits get bigger everyday...I can't imagine how she and Featherfoot handle all that energy."
Flurrykit looked up from the soot-charred leaf he was trying to bat around, his eyes glowing with admiration as he noticed Ghostscreech coming close to the nursey. "Ghostscreech!" The tomkit exclaimed. "Are you bringing us prey?"

"I don't know either." Plumfur responded, sticking the branch in a spot where it wouldn't move or fall. "I don't think I would be able to handle it." she admitted. She liked Dapplenight for his quiet nature.
