Palewind padded along the side of Whisper Creek, his head turned slightly to gaze into the water. He stopped at a bend in the creek and sat down, wrapping his creamy brown tail around his white paws. His green eyes were still focused on the water. He saw his reflection, rippling because of the current. Beneath his reflection, he could see silver fish swimming around. Palewind gazed at the fish hungrily, and decided to try to catch some. He raised one of his paws and waited for a fish to venture close to the surface. As soon as one was close enough, he plunged his paw into the water, hooking the fish onto it. He threw the fish onto the bank, where it lay wriggling until he ended its life with a quick bite. He looked into the water again before he realized he scented another cat. He jumped up and quickly turned around to see who it was.

"Nice catch." Nightcloud meowed, smiling from where she sat, white tipped tail curled over her black and white paws as she gazed at Palewind. "Mind if I try?" Without waiting for an answer, Ngithcloud stood and padded over to the creek bed, sitting so that her shadow didn't fall on the water. Waiting for a moment, she suddenly lashed out and hooked a fish from the water, sending flying to land beside Palewind's dead fish.

"You aren't bad yourself." Palewind meowed, looking now at Nightcloud instead of the water. Then he quickly shook his head and looked away, not wanting her to catch him staring. He looked back into the water. "So how have you been lately?" He asked as he plunged his paw into the water again, catching another fish. He put it with the other two fish they had already caught.

Nightcloud shot a small glance at Palewind, smiling. "I'm fine. We live in the same Clan and nothing has been going on so wouldn't you know?" She asked, purring at the same time. Dipping her paw swiftly into the water, she brought out yet another fish for the pile.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Palewind purred, beginning to grin. He shot another look at his fellow warrior before plunging his paw once again into the creek. This time, he missed the fish. He then lost his balance and tumbled into the water. He went under for a second before swimming back to the surface. He swam towards the bank, and pulled himself out of the water. "Oops." He meowed, embarrassed. "Good thing the creek isn't very strong here."

Nightcloud laughed, staring at Palewind oddly. "Looks like your fishing streak has run out of luck." She purred, pulling out another fish. "Is the water cold?" Nightcloud meowed, standing and padding over to Palewind.

"Yeah, I guess I have run out of luck." Palewind meowed, laughing at himself. "And it is a little bit cold. It isn't too bad though, it's actually refreshing." He shook and tiny water droplets flew off of his body. His wet fur was sticking out at weird angles. He brought a paw up to his mouth and wet it before bringing down over his head, smoothing out his fur a little.

Nightcloud giggled, then broke out laughing. "You look rediculous." She meowed, padding over to lend a paw in helping smooth out his fur. "If only you could see how bad your fur looks right now." The black and white she-cat meowed, purring.

Palewind began to laugh with her. "Aw... I can't look that bad!" He meowed, purring. He turned his head to smooth the fur on his back down. Then he looked at his reflection in the creek and began to laugh even harder. "Wow, you're right!" He purred. "I do look ridiculous."

"Don't take my word seriously?" Nightcloud meowed, smiling wryly as she went over to the pile of fish. "Come on, we need to bring these back to camp before they spoil in the sun." Leaning down, the muscles under Nightcloud's sleek black and white pelt rippled as she picked up two fish in her jaws. Turning towards Palewind, her green eyes sparked from the sun as she motioned with her head for him to follow with the rest of the fish.

"Ok." Palewind purred as he padded over to the two remaining fish. He bent down and picked them up with his sharp teeth. He looked at Nightcloud, shocked by how beautiful she was. He began to follow her back toward the camp. "Would you like to go hunting with me some other time?" He asked from around the fish.

Nightcloud smiled and nodded, flicking her tail to tell Palewind that if she talked she would drop the fish. Padding onwards, they neared the camp. The cream furred apperntice Heatherpaw scampered out of the camp and ran up to Nightcloud, her eyes narrowed. "You went hunting without me? Why couldn't I go!" She complained, Nightcloud just looking over at Palewind and rolling her eyes.

Palewind chuckled at the apprentice and put his fish down. "Can't Nightcloud go anywhere without you?" He asked, looking from Nightcloud to her sister and back again. Finally he gaze rested on Heatherpaw. "Maybe you can go hunting with your sister or your mentor later." He suggested.

Heatherpaw snarled at Palewind, letting her hot-headed attitude take over. "I already went out with Coyotestar today." She meowed, holding her head high as if she had proved the best point ever. Nightcloud sighed and set the fish down. "Heatherpaw, we can go out later alright, but I just got finished hunting and I need a break." Heatherpaw looked over at Nightcloud, then turned her violet gaze to Palewind, eyes narrowed as she scrutinized him. Turning back to Nightcloud, she meowed, "Can't you do better than him?" Before bounding away into the forest, leaving Nightcloud staring after her and face whiskers burning with embaressment.

Palewind looked in the direction the apprentice had gone and sighed. Then he turned his green gaze back to Nightcloud. "I'm sorry I upset your sister so much." He meowed before looking at his paws, embarrassed. "But Heatherpaw is right... you probably could do better than me." Then, still looking at his paws, the creamy brown warrior picked up his fish and padded closer to the camp.
