The chocolate torbie point's fangs sink into the gray fur of a mouse, the extraction of life satisfying to him as he makes another successful catch. Lionpaw feels lucky today as not one but two pieces of fresh-kill dangle from his splotched maw; he likes to think that he's becoming quite a skilled hunter but deep down he knows that it must have been sheer luck. The edge of the pine forest seemed to be one of the best hunting grounds from what he'd found. He would have to track over here more often... that is, when a ThunderClan patrol isn't nearby.
However, as if on cue, the sound of pawsteps rustles the leaf litter several lengths ahead. Lionpaw stiffens momentarily, teeth gently securing the prey in his jaws, shining blue eyes scanning the vicinity until a few pelts come into sight. If Lionpaw were by himself, he would have dipped away the moment he heard them. He silently curses himself for still being an apprentice, tethered to his Crowsight's side at all times and unable to depart until he did.
So, the boy twitches a whisker and silently watches as the opposing patrol goes about their duties. They have not noticed him yet, it seems.
