Dovecloud was restless, and she didn't even know why. Not even hunting, though she'd been out twice already this morning, was helping her to assuage this gnawing feeling. She didn't know what to do to sort it out. Bumbleshade, the cat on one side of her nest (of course, the other side was Harestrike's side, the two liked to sleep side by side. Dovecloud had the feeling it was because of Harestrike enjoying the warmth of her fluffy pelt) had woken her up several times in the night, complaining that her restlessness was keeping him awake. Several apologies later, Dovecloud had given up on sleep and had just gotten up to prevent her disturbing her mate or any of her den-mates. 

There was precious little fresh-kill, but Dovecloud picked a piece out anyway. She was just about to settle down to eat it and deal with the guilt that would arise, when she had an idea. Picking up her piece of untouched fresh-kill, she began to pad over to Firestar's den. She'd share a meal with her leader if she wasn't too busy leading, then not only would she have some company for her meal, but she'd also be able to eat without feeling guilty about it.

FEELS EASIER TO JUST SWIM DOWN

The recent day had been windy. She noticed the change in weather had discouraged birds from making theirs around the territory. Firestar enjoyed the challenge of a bird hunt but if none were out, that meant poor hunting.

Discouraged by the poor hunt, Firestar headed for her den for a break before trying again. She hoped to wait out the weather and try again, perhaps with a Clanmate joining her.

Just as she settled down her stomach gave a rumble, hunger was starting to gnaw at her insides. Having been so preoccupied with her hunt Firestar failed to take care of herself. Rising up to leave her den to find a meal, she nearly ran into Dovecloud.

Stopped by the she-cat, Firestar offered her a polite smile in greeting. Noticing the bit of fresh-kill her smile widened. It was always nice to share a meal with a Clanmate and Dovecloud was no different.

"Did you bring that to share? Because I'd rather share such a meal and maybe chat a little," Her meow was polite. There were quite an age gap and her ways of leading the Clan was older, less tolerant. While she had made an effort to change it was easier said and none and her traditional values still mattered to her.
