Oh watch me go, I'm a happy girl and I've come to know
that the world won't change just 'cause I complain.
Let the axis twirl, I'm a happy girl.

She giggled softly, “Oh no, this is much better. I haven't had this much fun in moons.” She had never really counted herself as much of a daredevil, she never intentionally sought danger or put herself in harm's way if she could help it, but if it did happen, wasn't it better to try to enjoy it than to quake in fear? And that was so much easier to do when you were with another cat who seemed to feel the same way.

A small shiver ran down her spine and she felt heat burn beneath her pelt when Eagletalon called her Flower. When they were kits, Dawnblossom used to call her Dusky, but since then she hadn't had a nickname. Not even Silverstorm had one for her. Being called 'flower' by Eagletalon was somehow... exciting? Embarrassing? She wasn't sure what this emotion was, but it made her feel like a silly apprentice again.

She watched her companion as he peered outside, checking for danger, her pelt prickling as she prayed to StarClan that the eagle was gone. She had had enough excitement for today and Eagletalon was already hurt. A moment later Eagletalon was calling her forward to make a break for it and didn't hesitate. She darted forward, keeping pace with him, unwilling to leave him behind again as they raced for the camp. She chanced a glance back, but the eagle was winging away, back to its nest with its new prey, she supposed.

She slowed a bit, brushing against Eagletalon. “I think we're safe. Unless another one shows up,” she purred in half amusement, half exasperation. She glanced down at his injured paw, “You should try not to use it so much if you can. Don't want to push anything too deep.” She fought the urge to make him stop so she could clean it again, still worried about infection. Dawnblossom would take care of him once they got back home, there was no need for her to fuss over him out here. It would only get more dirt in it before they got back.

Oh watch me go, I'm a happy girl, everybody knows
that the sweetest thing you'll ever see
in the whole wide world is a happy girl.

62 Moons // Tom // Senior Warrior // StoneClan

Eagletalon nodded, adopting a kind of skipping run as he avoided getting as much grit and dirt into the wound as he could. Duskflower's pelt brushing against his, he felt better knowing she was right beside him in case danger did strike again. Knowing they were going to see her sister, Eagletalon began to slow to a trot when they were a few foxlengths away from camp.

"For what it's worth, Flower. I had fun." He grinned, grunting a little as he made a three-legged leap onto a boulder, dropping down into StoneClan's camp with a light shake of his pelt. Clearing the way for her to land beside him, he gave her a soft nudge in the shoulder, half-wishing she would follow him all the way to the healer's den. But he was a senior warrior, and he did not need assistance or coddling (even if it was  nice coddling) on the way to Dawnblossom's den.

"We'll have to go for another walk sometime." Eagletalon waved his tail in goodbye, calling over his shoulder as the queen made her way back to the nursery. "Probably with a little less excitement, though." We'd have a better chance to talk without worrying about eagles. Perhaps a walk by night, then. Even eagles slept or had chicks to visit.
