private devouring eyes ✧ drowsypaw

It wasn't uncommon to see them draped over a pile of moss or resting peacefully in what fragments of sun remained this late into the season. It almost seemed like they couldn't help but be tired, to close their eyes and drift off near constantly. Edenpaw wondered if that meant Drowsypaw did something in the night, when no one was watching... something that would expel such great amounts of energy. It exhausted them sometimes to make the trek back and forth to Twolegplace, to hide in their garden for the night rather than huddled up next to apprentices who could stare at their marred pelt. It was hard.. being around all these faces... in a way it hadn't been before.

A particularly prickly warrior seemed to have spotted the snoozing apprentice and Edenpaw would not let it happen twice that someone got assigned a stupid, petty chore like clearing out moss. Rushing up to the dark-furred feline, they pressed a paw gently to their shoulder, giving the slightest shake to wake them up- "Hey Drowsypaw! Thanks for waiting for me, are you ready to go on our walk?" Blazestar would never let them out of camp without company now anyways....

They were not... in fact, close friends that had agreed to spend some time together but hopefully they'd notice the sulking adult behind them and realize this was a ploy for their own benefit.

"I know a great place we can go that's perfect for practicing some climbing."
