private I'll drag you in like a creature ⸙ Vulturepaw

[Brackenpaw]

Cradled in Brackenpaw's white paw is the twitchy body of a cricket, it was an irksome thing. They had to twist their paw a certain way to not let the insect escape, it chirped in some kind of protest but it was easy to tune the noise out. It makes their diligent walk towards Vulturepaw significantly slower, much to her dismay. They're a good friend though, so she's determined to make it work for the hopes of cheering her up. They heard about DuskClan visiting the border in the search for their wayward deputy, Thriftfeather's still here so they assume that it must have gone well (or terribly depending on opinions). Vulturepaw seemed upset after it, even during the event itself based on what she had heard. She had never asked about what happened in DuskClan or how he has been afterwards, it's a subject that they dare not tread close to. Out of respect, yes, but out of a desire to not hear about such a prevalent threat to the clan.

Curiosity overtakes her now, as it always does. She has no plan going into this conversation, nothing beyond wanting to do their due diligence by checking in with him. They could ask more about that joke of a clan, Thriftfeather had helped them understand some aspects of the clan so maybe talking with Vulturepaw would fully complete it in their mind. She finds now that she's standing in front of him, cricket cradled in paw, that they don't actually know what to say at first.

"Vulturepaw, you doing okay?" She finds herself asking, a snowballing effect to the conversation. The calico twists her paw to show the cricket to the moor-runner apprentice "I thought you might like this." Not really, she isn't sure if he would like it but this has always been a crutch for her to open conversations with. They set the insect down with a delicate precision, shielding it from her so it wouldn't run away.

"I don't actually know what you can do with it, but I thought it could take your mind off things."
