We’re On An Adventure (Stormwind)

“Alright,” Newton conceded, glancing out of the cave entrance at the cascading waterfall outside.

Lady shuffled her paws. “I kinda want to leave as soon as possible,” she admitted.

Newton nodded. “If we’re going to stay, we should make it one more night, tops.”

Lady nodded, frowning at the idea. “I’d really rather not be stuck here that long.”

Newton nodded. “We’re lucky it hasn’t snowed here yet. If it snows, we might be stuck here until spring.”

Lady nudged Newton with her shoulder. "Do you think we should leave soon?"

Newton let out a long sigh a few heartbeats later, similarly disappointed. Was this what clan life was like?

The mouse was so small it only took Lady a few bites to finish it off and she stared mournfully at the bones that were left.

Newton laid down and eagerly dug into his prey.

Lady settled a few tail-lengths away from the pile of prey, starting to scarf down her meal.

Newton found his own, comparably sized piece of prey.

After checking with a cave-guard that the kit-mothers had, indeed, eaten, Lady pulled a scrawny mouse out of the fresh-kill pile.

Newton followed close behind, just as eager for food as she was.

Lady nodded and kind of just...shuffled away.

“Of course you can eat!” Mewled Stoneteller. “You are guests of the Tribe. Just make sure with one of the Guards That our expectant mother’s Have eaten. Then you may take your fill.”

Lady ruffled her fur uncomfortably under the weight of the tom’s disbelief.

Stoneteller gave the pair a disbelieving look. Newton nodded to confirm what his friend said.

Lady shuffled her paws a little nervously and blushed underneath her fur when her stomach grumbled loudly. “Um. We weren’t sure if we’re allowed to eat? I mean, it’s your prey so...” she trailed off.

Stoneteller had been talking to another adult cat, but turned his attention to the pair of youths when he was done. “What do you need?” Mewed The tom with a raised brow, wondering what brought Newton and Lady to seek him out directly.

Lady nodded and quickly smoothed her ruffled fur before getting to her paws and heading over to said tom.

“Let’s go ask Stoneteller if we can eat,” mewled Newton, glancing down as he felt and heard his belly rumble in protest.

Lady sighed and pouted. “You’re welcome.”

“Maybe, but that doesn’t mean I can’t say thank you!” Replied the tom cheerfully, clearly feeling a bit more like his normal self after getting a bit of sleep.

Lady frowned at him. “You would have done the same for me.”

Newton gave his friend a grateful lick. “Thanks for staying with me last night,” The tom Mewed thankfully, giving Lady a smile as he sat up and shook the tiredness out of him.
