I'm surprised you're not sick of me yet [tagged]

Ooc: That song is so perfect for him ;-;

A low sigh worked its way out of the spotted toms pursed lips. It wasn't one of boredom or content, good or bad, it was just a simple exhale as an sense of understanding and relation washed over him. He understood what she was saying all too well the more he gave it some thought.

He had a "twisted face" of his own, and for the longest time that was the only one that anyone, including his brother, saw. It was one of self remorse, and the desperate need for an escape from the hell he knew as his home. Over time it shifted into bitterness and anger in an attempt to mask his sorrow over the loss of the one he thought he loved. The loss that had destroyed he and his brothers relationship. The loss that haunted his dreams. The loss that probably didn't even know his warrior name...

Then it hit him. If she really had cared about him she would've come back. She would've searched for him. She wouldn't have left him to spend the rest of his days searching for her while she sat back. Anger pulsed through his veins, but it wasn't the kind that was where you wanted to break everything around you, it was the kind where all you wanted to do was freeze up, turn cheek to everything. It felt like he was back to phase one, except this time it was no physical handicap restraining him. His eyes drifted back out into the territory, "I guess everyone is part of the trees in their own way, just waiting for someone to come by or to run into them and come around and stay." And one of the worst things was when someone ran into you and they stayed for a bit but then slowly walked away, leaving you in the illusion that they were around for good. The only thing worse was when someone ran right into you and really was going to stay around but you pushed them away trying to get to the first cat without realizing- especially when that second cat remained sitting right beside you.

"if everyone is waiting, no one will get anywhere, sometimes it pays to bend things a little, it looks painful, and it may even hurt, but sometimes the greatest things can come at a cost" her eyes narrowed and suddenly with a slight tense of her muscles she leapt out into the air leaping to the next tree over and shooting up it's bark after a skinny squirrel

[:-Misa-:]

Jaggedbreeze said nothing, his ears flicking the slightest bit as he heard Leaftail jump off the branch. The rustle that followed lead him to believe that she had simply left this tree for the next. Go figure. "It's only because no one can stand to be around you." He didn't even bother with it this time; he didn't want to bother with much. Deep down though he found himself believing it. That was until through the cold and crisp leafbare air a faint scent of squirrel reached his nose. It wasn't rich like those that you'd smell during greenleaf, it was almost sickly. It all clicked together- she'd left his side not because he'd been burdening her with his existence, but rather because she was chasing after a rare meal.

Knowing that if he were to try to get involved he'd only mess up the hunt, he decided it would be best to just sit and wait. Besides, what really could he do? It's not like he knew how to get out of the tree, well, without just simply falling out. And even if he had had the desire to try and help make the catch, he wasn't sure enough of his paws in the trees to even consider hopping to the next one. All he could do was sit and wait and once again fall victim to his thoughts.

Leaftail returned a moment later a limp grey squirrel in her jaws "not much" she mumbled around it's fur "but it'll be a mouthful for someone, and that's all we can hope for" she leapt out of the tree to bury the squirrel before climbing back up to sit next to him again "sorry if I spooked you"

[:-Misa-:]

Falcon back from my unannounced break. Sorry about that ^^"


Not much time had passed at all before Leaftail returned, a squirrel grasped in her jaw. It was scrawny, as per usual with prey during this season. but just as she had said, it was all that they could ask for. With so many hungry mouths to feed, grumbling bellies were almost becoming a disturbance to any sort of silence that could be experienced during the day. It was definitely not by any means the most comfortable thing because of their sickening resemble to a growl coming out someone's throat. His head had on many occasions spooked him into believing an aggressive cat was behind him when in reality when he spun around he'd just find a skinny, underfed clan mate or nothing at all, only to realize it was himself.

"I'm sure the elders or kit will be happy to get something in their stomachs." Like she had said, anything was appreciated and would to. An awkward silence followed, settling over Jaggedbreeze leaving his paws itching. Today just wasn't their day, that had to be it. He couldn't be losing a friend this quickly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That must be it! A timid smile wove its way onto his face as he meowed quietly, "I should probably be getting back to camp now. So... uh... how do I get down?"

[Falcon]

Leaftail nodded "getting down is really easy, you just jump" Leaftail bunched her muscles and leapt down in a way to show him how to do that very thing he had requested "think you can handle it" she questioned looking up at him in concern for his safety, she didn't want him to get hurt
