*+:。.。 "Ew"

A painful word to hear when catching your reflection, even if it was himself who so eloquently chimed out. Ears burning as his own comment echoes in his ears, he turns his head this way and that, noting the rough patches of tangled fur that had slowly gotten worse over time. Maintaining his fur wasn't solely a goal of vanity, but when you have fur as long and as thick as Orchidpaw's, you can't afford to miss a day of grooming. Or a moon of it. Starclan, how long had it been since he'd properly groomed out the knots!?

Sighing, he glances around to ensure his privacy, before scooting further into the fronds that grew behind the elder's den. Eyeing his reflection in the stream, he'd begin lapping at the fluff along his shoulders and under arms, frowning at the many, many times his rough tongue snagged on a mat and pulled his skin. And that was just the spots he could reach. He groaned as he could only imagine what the nape of his neck looked like!
Starclan, he'd really let himself go.

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- It was a warm evening. New leaf was sure rearing its head this time around and was leading to better weather, better chances at food and hopefully peace. Cream paws moved across the ground, drawing something in the dirt with a claw, as they idly sat there. They hadn’t been sure what they should be doing anymore. It felt like they never went up for patrols, they couldnt hunt to save their soul and it felt like all those moons of training went down the drain almost. So Honeysplash has found herself more in camp than anything else again, and it was causing her paws to itch and sweat.

They had been walking back from the apprentices’ den with moss in their jaws for new nests when movement caught their eye. Something shuffling behind the elders den and the furrowed their brow. What on earth? Did a kit get stuck in there? Maybe Sangriakit had been playing too much and was trapped behind the elders den? Or Hollykit? They tilted their head to the side curiously, and then set down the moss they carried in their jaws.

Honeysplash picked their way over to the elders den and with a front paw, swatting at the brush, and they spoke out loud to whomever was behind the den, “Sangiakit? Hollykit? Is someone stuck back there?
