Trailpaw looked at her leader curiously for a moment, but her attention was quickly diverted to a brown mouse who had chosen just then to scurry across her path.
She made an immediate lunge for it, but ended up stepping on Eclipseshadow's paw and tumbled down into the dirt instead.
Pepperleaf blinked at the fox with wide eyes.
Instantly she batted her pet rock at the fox with her front paw, hitting it squarely between the eyes. "Sorry, Reggie!" She called apologetically to her rock.
WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO THE BUMP?
I sure don't. :P
OOC: SORRY! :( I thought I got the PM, but it turns out it was a different message.
IC: Kitface jumped up immediately and trotted over to Eaglestar, glancing around anxiously at the other cats without a word.
No no, I mean THE Bump. As in the dance?
I WILL TOAST YOUR GOATS FOR YOU, SHINEY!
I'm SOOO hungry and now I have to eat food now.
BA-BAI!
DOO WAH DIDDY DIDDY DUM DIDDY DOO!
Dusttail was beyond red. "WE ARE NOT!"
Pepperleaf looked from one prostrate cat to the other.
"Well," she said calmly, "I don't think any of us expected that."
Dusttail scuffled his front paws and muttered to himself crossly.
Kitface's eyes became wide. Assigning mentors? I hope I don't get an apprentice. I wouldn't know where to begin!
"Not much. A big fox jumped us while we were talking. You look all right (well, except for your paw. Here, I'll lick that for you) but Skypaw is a mess. Don't suppose you have any herbs with you?" Pepperleaf said as she sat down beside her and examined Sparrowfang's wounds.
Gingerpaw blinked at Peachespaw. "What about you, Peachespaw? You coming?"
Dusttail was now becoming thoroughly uncomfortable. "Well, it's not that- uh, I mean... I don't think I've known you long enough to really say that about you, you know?"
Gingerpaw chose to entertain himself by wiggling his eyebrows at his fellow clanmates.
OOC: Cats TOTALLY have eyebrows, you know. :P
Pepperleaf peered over Sparrowfang's shoulder and then suddenly turned green.
"Did you say blood?" She said and promptly fainted.
OOC: Wow, that didn't make any sense. :P
"I can't," said Gingerpaw, "It's a nervous twitch."
His sister, who happened to enter the clearing just then, rolled her eyes.
"Oh, StarClan." Twirlpaw muttered.
Pepperleaf popped up again instantly, like a daisy. She yawned widely and stretched before noticing the other two cats. "Whoops! Sorry. What were we talking about? I guess I must have dozed off or something."
What do you MEAN 'cookies are yummy'?!
That's like saying that Batman is just "okay", or that poodle-noodles are only "kind of" fun to say.
"All right," said Pepperleaf, "I'm not very tired at the moment, but I guess I could stay awake and make sure that the fox doesn't come by again. In the meantime I have to go look for Reggie- I'll be back before long." She said, and trotted away to find her pet rock.
Kitface let out a huge sigh of relief and then colored when she realized that she had done it out loud.
She turned to Cloudpaw and stated cheerfully, "You've got a good mentor, Cloudpaw!" And added hastily, "I mean- not that the other warriors aren't good mentors! I'm sure you'll all be good at handling- I mean, teaching the new- I mean apprentices!" She stumbled over her words and finally finished, shrinking away miserably.
