DRACULA BELLS ⛧ hunting patrol

[ASHENFALL]

˚₊‧ ⛧ The heat is sweltering today, sun beating down upon the swamp to blanket the territory with a sticky, suffocating humidity. Ashenfall is regretting with every further step that they left to hunt while the sun was still in the sky, but he would not suffer the indignity of turning back now after gathering up the other warriors and wasting everyone's time.

So they slogged onward.

They padded along the edge of a pond, sniffing around for little hopping morsels of meals for the clan. It would be after the third-or-fourth buzzing little insect knocked into his ear that Ashenfall sighs and flicks his eyesight back to his patrolmates, "Uh- let's stop here for a sec, before we melt on our paws." He halts them to rest in a shadier spot along the shore, and takes a drink from the pond.

"Eugh.. Was last greenleaf this hot?" Ashenfall asked his patrolmates, "I don't remember it being like this..."

A night patrol sounded pretty good right now, they wondered if it would still be hot by nightfall. At the rate this weather seemed to roll on, yeah they wouldn’t be surprised. What a shitty time to have long fur, they felt like this every time the weather became hot but it applied every single time. It will be getting cooler soon, they had that to look forward to at least and that thought is what pushed them through patrols even when they thought they might become a cat shaped puddle any second now.

The pond was a welcomed sight, there was an audible sigh of relief. At least there was the slightest residual coolness from standing near the water, they had prepared themself to continue onwards when Ashenfall had called for a break. The relief they felt was apparent and they wasted to no time to sit by the shade “do you think that's happened before? A cat melting their paws I mean” they grin at the thought. Was that even possible? Probably not but it was funny to think about.

They tilt their head curiously at Ashenfall's question, they hadn't been here last Greenleaf so they weren't sure. It was pretty hot in Twolegplace last Greenleaf so they assumed that it carried over to ShadowClan. “It's not normally this hot then?” They decide to ask instead, leaning over to dip their paw into the refreshing water of the pond. Taking a moment to pause, seemingly acting like they were thinking really hard about something before deciding to lightly splash whatever patrol mate stood beside them by the water.
