The {Snake} meets the {Deer} (Tagged)

[Vinepool]

Deernose was curled up in the Warrior's den. His tail presses over the thin skin on his nose to block out the cold wind coming from the opening. He opened his eyes half-way looking around the den. He sighed unhappily from the cold wind hitting his back. He thought I should try to go back to sleep again, there's not much to do in the clearing anyway. He did a small nod to himself and then closed his eyes hoping to be carried off in to sleep. After a couple minutes of laying in his nest he decided he couldn't fall back asleep. He sighed and sat up. His messy brown pelt gleamed in the small amount of sunshine. Not being the cleanest cat he just licked over his pelt once, till all the moss and big knots got out. When he finished up he took a deep breath and stood up. He stretched once he got up and then made in way carefully in to the cold clearing.

Entering the clearing he gazed around. He blinked a couple of times because his eyes were adjusting to the weak rays of sun. He sighed and then sat down for a second. While he was sitting down he heard his stomach growl. He looked down at his stomach and thought last time I ate was last night, I should go get something to eat. He stood up again and then made his way over to the small fresh-kill pile. He stood in front of it and scanned through it hoping to find a decent piece of prey. He found nothing, but he saw a skinny sparrow. He thought this will do. He picked it up and looked around the clearing.

His light green gaze looked around the clearing hoping to spot one of his friends. He couldn't find anyone he knew. He sighed and thought well, I guess I make a new friend today. He smiled and nodded to himself. He padded towards a place that had a weak ray of sunshine shining down. He sat down and rapped his tail around his for paws. He bent over and took a bite of his fresh-kill. It tasted okay, but a little more meat would make it better. He kept eating and waited for a cat to join him. He waited.

OOC: I am going to try to show some of his personality traits in this thread

[Lionhearted]

The golden Siberian tabby circled the camp, his eyes roving over the working warriors. Snakeflight had taken the rest of the day off, after running around constantly from the territory to the camp, working as hard as he could. Thrushstar had dismissed him after seeing the muss his fur had become. The cheerful tabby had thanked him and skipped off. What to do, what to do? he mused. I can't just stand here and let the cold freeze me.

"Well, now that I'm off work, I don't really have anything to do..." Snakeflight's ears twitched. "Well, I could maybe share a piece of prey with someone else. It's scarce, and we may as well save what we can." Spotting Deernose, he wandered over, and gave the other tom a friendly smile. Let's hope he's not like Ashfrost. Heh. I like that guy. "Hey," he greeted, sitting down beside Deernose, "mind if we share that? I don't want to get a whole 'nother mouse when I can share. How are you today, my friend? Doing well, I hope?"

[Vinepool]

Deernose watched as Snakeflight, a warrior joined him. He smiled and answered his question. He said," Why of course, I willing to share". He pushed his skinny sparrow towards the tom and twitched his ears. He listened to his next question and nodded. He said," My day has been pretty good, I went on a early hunting patrol and took a nap and now I'm here'. He smiled at Snakeflight and thought well, he seem very nice, it's good to know that my clanmates are nice. He licked his chest because he noticed a feather landed on it. He thought might as well ask him a question, so we can keep talking. He nodded to himself and opened his mouth to say something.

He said," How was your day? I hope it was as good as mine". A cold breeze hit his back and he shook a little but then stopped not wanting to show Snakeflight he was cold. He blinked slowly then he glanced up at the sky to see thick, dark snow clouds hanging above them. He sighed wishing for warmer weather. He turned back to Snakeflight and waited for his answer.

"Could be better." Snakeflight shrugged and settled into a crouch in the snow, closing his eyes as the coldness seeped into his skin. "Ah, as chilly as that feels, it's actually quite relaxing. It's been... tense. I've been put on a lot of patrols, and helping Thrushstar out as best as I can. He hasn't got a deputy, and it's about time he's picked one." Sighing, Snakeflight rolled over in the snow to lie on his back, gazing upwards at the blue sky. He mused silently at Deernose's effort to keep the conversation flow. It comes naturally, with practice, that is. He let out a content sigh, forgetting about the mouse, and twitched his ears. "What dreams do you have?" he murmured. "Any ambitions in particular?"

[Vinepool]

Deer nose glanced at Snakeflight as he rolled over on his back. He smiled he said his day could be better, but at least it wasn't bad. He heard his next question. my ambitions? Well, deputy would be nice but I'd never get that. Should U tell him about wanting deputy? Why not,he seems really nice. He nodded to himself and then said," Well, I want to become deputy but I'm not go close to Thrushstar, he would most likely want a cat he knows a little". He smiled, the thought of being chosen for something important always made him feel good. He said," How about you? Any ambitions"? He waited fir a answer.

[Lionhearted]

Snakeflight shrugged. "I'm relatively new, so I'm still trying to find my place," he said earnestly. Flicking his ears, he stood up, shaking himself. "Well, I'm getting cold. Want to finish that mouse and go for a walk?" he asked, smiling politely. "I could use a good run or hunt. And if you want to be deputy, I suggest you talk to Thrushstar or something. If it's your ambition, you should make an effort to make it a reality. Just like I wanted to be a warrior, so I did." He had no regrets in becoming one, but his mind often strayed towards his old kittypet home, which was perched on the edge of the sea, which belonged to SunsetClan. The image of the warm nest and his father's face swam into view again, and he looked away, suddenly feeling, for one moment, quite nostalgic.

Deernose swallowed the last scarp of his small sparrow. He chewed it up savoring it flavor, he had a feeling he wouldn't be able to eat for a little while. He nodded to Snakeflight and mewed," Yes, that sounds nice since I been stuck up in camp since bare-leaf started". He looked up at the sky hoping to see even the smallest bit of sunshine. but the whole sun was out! He thought finally new-leaf has come. He couldn't help but purr. he turned back to Snakeflight and said," How about we hunt first then we can take a walk". He started off towards the exit. He looked behind him to make sure snakeflight was following him.

Lionhearted, sorry about the wait on a post from me
