Ask to Join The Boulder by the Bay Creates Shade

Boulderdash had been on the afternoon hunting patrol. This was a nice change as she had been resigned to think she was only suppose to be going out on border patrols. The thunderstorm hadn't seem to phase her, trying to use the plants to stay drier but her fur still seemed to get soaked. It was a little vexing only because it made her cold but her response to the storm had been to shake as much extra moisture from her fur as she could and twitch her bobbed tail before continuing the hunt.

By the end of the hunt, she was pleased with herself. For how cool the weather was and the storm itself, she thought she had done a pretty good job- a chipmunk, a songbird, and a vole were the result of her hunt. She currently carried them into camp with an easy going amble to lay her prey on the fresh-kill pile. Looking at the pile with her mis-matched eyes, Boulderdash considered if she wanted to grab something from the pile for herself or not.

The storm hadn't deterred Shadesleek from her work, partly because she liked rain but mainly because it couldn't. She had been on sentry duty, which would be done in rain or shine...

But now it was over! Now free and originally padding towards the dens, she stopped to stretch and her original plan of taking a nap or something was paused when she saw Bayflower and, in the edges of her vision, Boulderdash. She gave a nod and blink of greeting to the older warrior, then looked over to see what Boulderdash was bringing to the fresh-kill pile.

"Looks like it was a good hunt," Shadesleek commented, indicating her sister with her tail.

Boulderdash took a few steps back from the two cats and fresh-kill pile so she give herself and nice long shake to rid her fur of the excess moisture, leaving it sticking up in wet spikes. After enjoying her vigorous shake, the tabby van she-cat turned her mismatched eyes to her sister and her cousin.

"It was a good hunt, wasn't it? I'm really pleased with what I was able to find. I saw you guarding camp. You must be hungry! Want to enjoy some fresh-kill with me?" Boulderdash stepped back up to the pile to retrieve the vole that had been taunting her with it's aroma since she had caught it. It was then she caught Bayflower's added on remark. "Oh, hello! Did you want to join us for a bit of fresh-kill too?"

Picking her vole back up, she waited for Shadesleek and Bayflower to pick their pieces and led the way off out of the way to flop down and worked to disemboweled and discard the stomach of her meal.

Boulderdash tossed the stomach off to the side to dispose of after their meal and eagerly took a bite out of her vole before recounting her hunting expedition.

"The chipmunk was too worried about trying to find an acorn under one of the old oaks and the vole while it was trying to get a drink. I took care of my own thirst after I caught it- it ended up being quite refreshing. There was a group of birds just sitting in a bush waiting to be caught but I wasn't fast enough to get more than one." The tabby van she-cat sounded disappointed at her lack of speed with the bird hunting and gave a wistful sigh. "If there had been another cat with me, there might have been a few more birds brought back, but that's how the leaves fall, I guess."
