Meeting

[Shadowfax]

Firewing walked down the Fernclan border, enjoying the soft feel of the dirt under his paws. This was the only place where the dirt was soft and somehow fluffy, like it was just dug up. It was early, barely dawn. He had snuck out of camp a while ago to go on a walk. Also, he wanted to see if the Fernclan she-cat, Deerpaw, would come around here again. He couldn't wait to tease her about the day before, when she'd fallen nose first into the dirt while trying to carry a rabbit that was almost as big as her. He mrowed in amusement at the memory.

Deerpaw crept towards the tiny mouse, Wolfshadow watching her over her shoulder. When she was about a fox-length away, she jumped at it, catching it with her paws. Wolfshadow frowned. "How many times do I have to tell you not to jump from so far! You could easily miss it, and how are you going to find another mouse in leafbare?" she growled. Deerpaw couldn't help but roll her eyes. "But it's not leafbare! It's greenleaf. There's plenty of prey!" she complained. "In leafbare I won't do this, but at least now can't I do it?"

Wolfshadow let out a sigh and turned away. "Suit yourself." she mewed over her shoulder. "I need to go check out something. You keep hunting." What she didn't mention was that it wasn't really something, it was someone. She and Fawnmist had agreed to meet at the Fireclan/Fernclan border, and she didn't want to be late. That was the only reason she had taken Deerpaw out to hunt so early.

Deerpaw shrugged and looked around for something else to stalk. For some reason, she was really restless. A leaf floated by in front of her nose. Man, I haven't chased leaves since I was a kit! she thought, leaping at it excitedly. She misjudged the distance though and tumbled over the edge of the small shelf of dirt. She rolled around for a little bit then finally stopped in the middle of the hiking trail. She got up and spat out a mouthful of dirt, then spotted Firewing. "You!" she hissed.

[Shadowfax]

Firewing purred in amusement. "Well well well. What do we have here?" he said teasingly, walking up to her. "You really like the taste of dirt, don't ya?" he asked teasingly, his eyes dancing. He ran his eyes down her back and down her legs. Her fur was a bit disheveled, like she hadn't groomed it yet. "Was someone woken up too early?" he asked, looking her straight in the eye, still laughing at her managing to get dirt in her mouth again.

Deerpaw bared her teeth at Firewing in a snarl. Who does he think he is? she thought angrily. "No I don't like the taste of dirt!" she snapped, taking a step back. Her ears grew hot under his gaze. "And it's none of your business how I woke up!" she said, answering his other question.

[Shadowfax]

Firewing grinned. "You sure act like you like dirt." he said, stepping closer again.
