She hadn't been back to see him in what felt like ages, the cream colored tom with whom she had developed a fast friendship with. Not at the gathering, which she had not attended because she could not bare to look at the faces of those who she had left behind in the marshes when she had left without saying a word, and not at the borders, though she had started coming at night again in hopes that Blaise may be there waiting for her. There would be no such luck though, and with every night that he is not present she feels her heart drop. It's her own fault of course, for not showing up in so long, keeping her distance when everything in her ached to be with him. They barely knew each other and yet she felt like he was her closest friend.
That's why she was here, in broad daylight, a plump squirrel between her paws. Green-leaf was always good for such things. The prey had spent all spring and summer getting nice and fat, and Little Wolf had made this catch quite easily. So laden with its own food was the creature that it was slow to get away. For a moment, as she moves between the oaks, drawing near the pines she is gripped by a small twinge of doubt. What if someone recognizes her as being a part of the marsh group previously, though she resided in thunder now. Or what if Blaise wasn't on a patrol today? So many things that could happen. So many ways she could end up leaving with fresh scars. She shudders to think of it but she does not back down. The midnight black she cat presses on with her catch set firmly between her teeth until the trees start to turn a deeper shade of green, the scent of pine washing over her as she draws near the border. She doesn't dare cross but sits right at it and places her catch between her feet, staring out into the forest and hoping that he would be there. The squirrel was her alibi, if anyone but him came she would simply state that it was a squirrel she caught that ran across the border and she was returning it to its rightful owners, that's all.
