private RUNNING TIL IT'S OVER / foxtail & tigersplash

[Hawkcloud]

Hawkcloud bounds her way into the snow-dusted clearing, her ginger fur fluffed up against the leaf-bare chill and eyes gleaming with mischief. She pounces onto a bank of the snow, scattering a flurry of powder into the air before turning to face her littermates with all the flourish of an over-exaggerated Lichenstar. "Foxtail, Tigersplash — it's time," the she-cat declares dramatically, her voice ringing out in playful determination. "We must build the biggest snow den we can, before it all melts away!" Hawkcloud scoops a pawful of the cold flurries, which falls softly like powder. "The snow is soft today, which means extra work packing it together and making it solid. We need a proper snow den to defend ourselves from the cruel outside world!" the she-cat exclaims with a giggle.

She hops her way off of the snowbank until she stands before her littermates again, already beginning to paw at the snow and enthusiastically push it together into a messy pile. In spite of the cold, the leaf-bare sun still shines brightly down upon the trio — mirroring Hawkcloud's beaming energy as she presses the snow together and pats it with joyful paws. "Whoever does the least amount of building is... a tiny minnow," the she-cat adds on, dissolving into giggles again as she tries to spur Foxtail and Tigersplash in the challenge. It had been far too long since she and her littermates had really been able to play together like this, which is not something Hawkcloud can let stand. Especially not after seeing the hard work her siblings have put in with the harshness of this leaf-bare.

/ Harmony: The snow is powdery! Every kick of a paw sends a flurry into the air. How is your character faring?​

 

[TIGERSPLASH.]

tigersplash could feel the weight of the leafbare like a physical force on her shoulders as it crept on. the she-cat had never been one of riverclan's most serious members, always finding it in her to offer a little laughter or joke, but levity was as dwindling of a resource as prey in these moons. snow became less of a beauty, ice became a creeping thief in the night. the warrior couldn't help but reminisce after her childhood, her first leafbare, when her only concerns had been running around after her siblings and it felt like their energy alone could sustain her.

those moons were far behind them, but even now, being around hawkcloud and foxtail brought back a spark of that childlike excitement. the she-cat's ears twitched in amusement as she followed her sibling into the clearing, the powdery snow spraying around them without so much as a twitch of her tail. it was horrible hunting weather, each movement magnified by a hundred as the snow flew all around, but for this -- it was perfect.

the she-cat snorts at hawkcloud's lichenstar impression, a call to arms that has her cheering in response, enunciating hawkcloud's words with a whoop. "aye aye, captain hawkcloud!" she purrs with a laugh.

"Whoever does the least amount of building is... a tiny minnow."

tigersplash gasps in faux offense, even as she jumps into action to help. "how could you, i am a majestic tuna at the very least!" she giggles, scooping a pawful of the powder up and sending it in a harmless spray towards her sister on her way.
