[CATERPILLARFUZZ.]

CURIOUS TO SEE US STRUGGLE​

---

she's trying to be more social. its hard. with siltcloud, she had pretty much made sure that caterpillarpaw didn't focus on anything else but being stronger, and training. hunting and tracking. fighting. she was only allowed to leave camp when siltcloud told her to, and though she had done it a couple times, she felt guilty. she didn't any longer. she misses siltcloud but she has lilacfur. she's a good mentor. strong. kind. but siltcloud had always been kind to her too, hadn't she? with a sighing huff, she pushes out of her nest, careful not to trip over anyone. the darkness bothers her not, because she navigates this way either way.

she doesn't expect to bump into anyone. not this late, and especially not swanpaw who is known to nap quite a bit. she barely misses her, her paws stopping her before her mind can register what's happening.

"o-oh! uhm– hi. swanpaw. hey."

she doesn't know what the other apprentice is doing but... maybe swanpaw would come with her. they're not allowed to leave camp alone but they're both old enough to be okay if they go together, right?

"are you busy? i was going to find a warrior to take me out to the... forest but if you're not busy... do you want to come?"

[Swansong]

⋆⁺₊ ☾ ⁺₊⋆ 　Swanpaw is awakened from their dream sluggishly, the memory slipping away like mist upon their tongue. They blink, disoriented for a moment. They are... in camp. Sleepwalking again, it seems. Their paws draw to a stop, settling into a seated position. Their tail curls around their paws; they breathe out slowly.

Stargazing, they'll say if anyone asks.

Another comes before long, paws just barely stopping before her. A glance over her shoulder... "Hello, Caterpillarpaw," she breathes, careful not to disturb the stillness of the night. There is no indication of her former discombobulation, no indication that anything is wrong at all. It is routine, strange though it may be. This is why her dreams had brought her paws to here. A meeting with a friend; fated, perhaps. She smiles lightly. "Not busy at all, no... I would be glad to accompany you."
