Thymeclan New members needed

Sakura followed after Basilwhisker, shooting glances at the trees. As a low branch came up, she paused a moment before leaping into the tree. From there, she sprung through the branches until they reached the stream. Jumping down into the shallow water, she flung a wet paw in Basilwhisker’s direction.

Sakura gave a mreow of laughter before walking back to the bank and laying near her companion. As the surface of the water settled, she struck out her paw and wrapped her claws around a small silver flash. Pulling her paw back toward the bank, she quickly bent to bite into the fish and set its limp body on the ground.

Shrikepaw had been resting in the apprentice's den, his ear flicking as the camp began to wake up. Slowly, he peered open his eyes, squinting as the harsh light from the den entrance reached his gaze. Thymestar's body was still laid out in the clearing, and he once again felt that sinking feeling of dread. He'd been so put off, infact, he just realised he had never had his turn to say goodbye. Feeling slightly awkward, he got to his paws and padded over to his leader's body, now too scared of the corpse's stiffness to groom it. Instead, he took a moment to sit by his side, his head bowed in respect and wide eyes closed.

Sakura snorted as water hit her already wet fur. Glanced playfully at Basilwhisker before flicking by her head back at the stream as a large fish swam toward them. She brought her paws under her and leaped at it, digging her claws into its scaly body as it flopped under her weight. Closing her jaws around the fish, she held onto it until it lay limp, then the gray and white she-cat lugged it back to the bank. Letting it fall onto the bank, Sakura sighed before mewing proudly, “That will feed a couple cats.”

“Yeah, we might have to take two trips,” she mewed, sitting down to clean some of the water from her fur. Pausing mid-lick, she continued, “We could head back now, I’m sure there are gonna be other cats going out as well, so we don’t need to fill the entire fresh-kill pile ourselves.” The gray and white she-cat continued her washing, but her mind suddenly shifted back to when she was a loner. Not too long ago, she had been on her own. Now... she was beginning to think like a clan cat. It wasn’t natural, but to Sakura surprise, it didn’t feel wrong anymore.

Asterpaw was sleeping soundly, not fully comfortable but enough where he didn’t yowl in pain every few moments. The sun was low on the horizon as he woke and he looked up to his fallen leader on the ground. He sighed, wishing he could have done something. ‘Everyone tells me it wasn’t my fault, but it doesn’t feel that way.’ He thought. Nevertheless he managed to crawl to his fallen leader and properly give his final respects.

Sakura glanced at Basilwhisker and nodded. “Ok, well we can bury these fish and then maybe we could go tree-climbing? To take your mind off of yesterday.” She began dragging the fish into the bushes, tucking them under a thickly grown bramble bush. “That should do it. Now come on,” Sakura called, leaping up onto a low-hanging branch.

"Really? Well, it's not too late to learn!" Sakura mewed as she leaped up a branch higher. From there, she glanced at Basilwhisker before racing along the branch and springing over into the next tree. Digging her claws in so she didn't slip, she turned around to face Basilwhisker once more. "It's not too hard, moving from tree to tree, but I would stick to one tree for now."

Sakura thought for a moment before answering. "To be honest, you won't know until you set foot on a branch. But if you want to be safe, stick to thicker branches, as they are the strongest." Then she leaped into another tree, this one right next to Basilwhisker's tree.

I won't be on for a bit because of my phone getting turned off (can't pay the bill right now).
If Wovensight is needed then I give permission to Mother Dark to rp him. But only as needed. Thx.))

Basilwhisker laughed. "Its okay. I can't say I feel as free and fearless as you though." He said getting up and climbing down to a lower branch.

Basilwhisker nodded. "We might as well. Then we can see if anything needs done in camp. Plus I should probably take Honeypaw out to do some training." He said before jumping to the lowest branch he could find and to the ground from there. He waited a moment for Sakura before he started towards where they had left the prey. "One of the queens could probably use the big fish to feed herself and the kits." He mentioned pulling the fish out.

"Let's just take these back and make a second trip for the other prey. We can manage easier that way." Basilwhisker said taking up the fish he caught and padding back towards camp.

"Thanks." Snowdapple mewed as she started to push the kits towards the fish. She looked around for the other kits and queens for them to join in the feast.

The kits mewled their thanks as they started taking hungry bites of the fish.

Basilwhisker sat and waited for Sakura. He liked that she was bringing the fish to Snowdapple and the kits herself. It would be good for her to start interacting with more of the clan than just himself.
