She does not want to be here hunting with Mousepaw, but that was their assignment and she was a dutiful apprentice if anything. Moonpaw did not want to backtalk, complain or otherwise be unruly, she had goals to aspire to and understanding her place was part of that. Still, she had to bite her tongue to withold a comment on it and its not like she was going alone either; their were warriors present obviously due to the boars still roaming the territory. It was easy enough to avoid the tortie, but eventually they came across tracks that stopped her in her own. Moonpaw lifted her spotted muzzle, scented the air and wondered briefly why the smell was so fresh before a rustle in the woods sends the patrol scurrying for cover. Momentarily she is surprised, jumping in place but not moving until the flat snout of one of the beasts crashes through the underbrush and suddenly she is motivated once more. The ragdoll apprentice feels her legs burning as she rushes forward and collides into the first tree she sees with claws out; her brief stint in SkyClan has given her just enough skill that she is up it to the highest branch she can reach before she's left breathless and panting; draped over it like a fluttering leaf.
The boar, for its part, doesn't seem too interested in following and she assumed they couldn't climb by how bulky they were, by the bluntness of its odd hooves, but there is still a moment of fearful uncertainty as she stares down at it snuffling about the roots before it begins to wander off; the pack of them linger nearby grunting noisily and she's finally able to breath. And realize she has company. Pale blue eyes widen as she turns, spots Mousepaw in the tree just next to her on another branch so close they could probably leap the gap to join one another, but she stubbornly remains fixed in place and also out of a small bout of fear she might miss her jump. Hurt limbs on the ground next to the great tusked things that killed Graystorm. It makes her shudder at the thought.
"...well NOW what..." Would they wait for the pack to continue onward, where had their warrior chaperones gone?
