Barleyswipe was practically starving as she hauled herself out of her nest after sleeping in until the sun was high in the sky. Thankfully it wasn't as warm as it had been, although she still grumbled a bit to herself as her limbs stiffened even after her stretch once her paws left the moss lined edge of her comfortable nest.
Taking a few kit sized steps out of the den, her spine arched uncomfortably as finally, her apricot pelt fluffed out. Scraggly as it was she gave it a good shake at least and practically dragged herself to the fresh kill pile. Her eyesight had been getting blurry around the edges as of late, so she distinguished a mouse by smell and hooked it from the pile.

Brightmaple was feeling rather grumpy and hunched in a loaf not far from the fresh-kill pile. Her shoulders had been bothering her all night and she had rested fitfully. Eventually, she had made it from the Elder's den and gone to sit outside after the sun had come up. There wasn't much for wind really,and the clouds hid the sun itself, but at least the temperature was rising and the ground was warming enough to help ease the aches that had lingered through the night.
Her eyes had been closed in a gentle doze when she heard someone approach her and the fresh-kill pile. Without opening her eyes, she pricked her ears and sniffed the air lightly, catching the familiar scent of Barleyswipe. Biting back a sleepy sigh, she opened honey-gold eyes to see her companion's familiar form totter over to get a bite.
"If you fetch me that chipmunk, we can eat together?" Her voice was raspy both from being tired and having been dozing moments before. "After, I can help groom your ragged pelt smooth and luxurious like mine until our nests mess them up again." It was both an offer and a well-worn exchange between her and Barleyswipe that she still enjoyed and Brightmaple hoped that the older she-cat would be willing to take her up on the offer.
If not, she could manage to go fetch her own meal, nut she did so enjoy her dear friend's company.

Barleyswipe blinked over to where the shape of her friend was loafing. From what she could see her shape was blurred around the edges but her sight was not so bad as to not recognize her. Even when her scent announced all she needed to know.
"You drive a hard bargain." She mewed with some reluctance, but this was Barleyswipe on a good day, all things considered. Brightmaple had been nothing but a near constant companion and kept their nests in close proximity. She didn't care to admit it out loud, but she had grown a bit spoiled by her as of late.
Nevertheless the old she-cat picked herself up with the chipmunk in her maw, clamping down around the soft fuzz before she heeded the invitation, slipping down onto the compact earth beside her partner. She grumbled into the fluff before she started clawing at the pelt, skinning it with the hook of her claws.
"Have you seen Beewhisker lately? Seems like they finally picked themselves up after dragging themselves in the mud like that for so long. Looks like we might have Sunbear to thank for that." She peeled the skin back with a tear of her fangs before swatting the piece of prey over to Brightmaple.
"You eat the choicey bits, Brightmaple. You'll live longer than me."
