Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished
✧ ⭒ ♦ ⭒ ♖ ⭒ ♦ ⭒ ✧

While the unbrush wasn't disturbed by the paw pads of a warrior patrol, it fell underpaw by the next best thing. A small two cat patrol of friends. The moon scorched the fur off his side, and generally preferred to stay in the shade in this heat, but these passed couple days hadn't been too tepid. At least not when compared to the previous days weather.

A black and white tom distinguished by a awkward stride padded through the trees, offering extra shade besides the cloudy day. Clouds blocked the sun, but the tom was in rather good spirits accompanied by Mistyleaf. It wasn't a day for sunning, however, but Bravesong needed the excerise to stretch his limbs. Stiff as they could be, he always felt better once he got into motion - and he always requested a warrior escort to do so.

Bravesong paused his his tracks, the edges of his fur lifting with uncertainty as his single hazel eye turned towards his partner.

"Do you...smell that?"

Mistyleaf stopped and scented the air. Was that... "Foxscent?" she asked quietly and began to crouch. Her fur fluffed a little and her tail swished low. This was why it was better to have company when one was out and about.
 
With her tail, she motioned for him to wait. "Let me check," she mewed and took a deep breath. She did not want to encounter foxes of any kind, but if there was a threat out there, they needed to know what...
 
The torbie stalked forward and kept as low as she could as she looked out from beneath a bush. Mistyleaf held her breath. There was indeed a fox ahead. It lay on the ground. At first, facing its back, she wondered if it might just be asleep, but its position and the scents wafting towards her indicated that was not quite the case. And fox or not, why would it sleep right there in the open?
 
Mistyleaf ducked back through the undergrowth. "I believe it's dead," she told Bravesong, keeping her voice low just in case, "though to be honest, I do not think we ought to confirm it ourselves."

 Down wind from the wayward carcass, Wildcry had been tracking the creature from its wanderings in Thunderclan territory. Curious to where the creature was about to head next, she waited with baited breath, her maw twisted with antisipation as it wandered over towards Trespass point.

Her good eye kept an eye on the creature until it was out of sight, its pursuits emerging with a spot of fresh prey. A mouse had almost literally wandered into its way, half stumbling over paws . She didn't see the aftermath, but she assumed it ate the stolen Riverclan prey. When it loped back towards Thunderclan again, she followed, careful to mind the wind's direction.

For a moment it seemed to pause, and Wildcry froze, muscle tensing for a spring. If she caught it off guard she could drive it off Thunderclan territory, hopefully for good. That is, if she didn't kill it first. Before she could spring however, it fell down on its own accord, seizing and drooling something fierce. Crouching in the bushes, Wildcry glared at the creature until it stopped moving. And didn't for another moment.

Other than its scent, she needed to confirm the creature was dead. Such a fresh kill could attract other things to its corpse. Wildcry walked stiffly towards the downed creature without fear that it would rise again, before she caught another scent. Bravesong and Mistyleaf. Inhaling the troubling death scent, Wildcry greeted them with a cry.

"Something else got to it first, it seems. We will need to bury it."

Bravesong wasn't in any hurry to approach the fox. He was momentarily stunned to be once more face to face with the creature that had taken so much of his sleep to stalk his nightmares. Lowering himself as best as he currently could, paw twisted under his chest, he took a step forward, nostrils flaring all the while.

"Smells dead...Be careful!" He whispered, oddly transfixed on the thing, but his concentration was broken when a taupe form ambled out of the thicket and confronted the fox. "Wildcry...! Did you see what happened to it?" Perhaps she saw what had happened. A predator? Old age, somehow - no, it was a dog fox in the prime of his life. What had killed it?

Mistyleaf had not expected to see Wildcry of all cats out there, but then again, she was Wildcry. Seeing the elder go right up to the fox, Mistyleaf stood normally and padded over.
 
"Hm.. Something else indeed," she agreed, cautiously stepping around the fox. At first, she was looking for signs of injury on it, but her mind wandered. She didn't much want to touch it, but she would have to in order to bury it. Should they move it elsewhere? Mark the location?
 
Staring intensely at its face, Mistyleaf eventually murmured, "Do they normally drool so in death?"
