PUT RIBBONS IN MY CURLS,
THEN CARRY AROUND A KNIFE​

Patience is not a virtue that Cherrytwist can claim - she's always been a rather energetic cat, always eager to go go go, eager to do whatever caught her fancy that day. Of course, that doesn't mean she can just laze about - no matter how fun it'd be if she could, right? - the life of a warrior is always so busy after all. Figure stands motionless among the waves, eyes flitting about until at last a glint of bronze catches hr eyes.

Splash - water runs down pale cheeks as teeth sink into scales with a wide grin, emerald eyes aglow with pride. Legs tread water as she paddles forward in long strides, mood uplifted by the fat barbel held tightly in her jaws as it wriggles and writhes in a sad attempt to secure it's freedom. It's her first catch of the day, and that means Cherrytwist can finally take a break - eat something to fill her own grumbling belly.

Paws find their way to land quickly enough, and she giggles as she shakes like a dog - uncaring of who she splashes as the fish flops onto drying grass with a loud plop - eyes glittering with mirth. " Guess that means I won! Stupid fish didn't even see me coming - I'm soooo stealthy, "

What, exactly, it is that she has 'won' is unclear - some sort of self-imposed competition with her fellow patrol mates most likely.

[BEEFANG]

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ — Beefang isn't that far from Cherrytwist as she focuses her lone eye onto the river as it searches for any sign of fish and she's ready to swipe out her paw at the sight of silver scales. Unfortunately for her, the sudden boasting and her blind side ends up causing her to miss her catch entirely which causes an annoyed huff to leave her jaws as it tenses. A part of her wants to snap at her clanmate for ruining her catch but she knows that a part of it is due to her disability and pushes herself away from the rivers side to take in the sight of the other molly's catch with both of her ears angled forward with slight interest. "Nice catch, Cherrytwist." The lead warrior congratulates with a soft snort leaving her as she watches the fish flop onto the grass and glances over her shoulder to the river once more then to her apprentice wondering if he'd succeeded in catching anything at all.

A part of her wishes that she hadn't lost her eye to that rogue so she could've done so much better when it comes to hunting but what's happened couldn't be changed so she simply had to adapt the best way that she could. Perhaps, she could tell the molly to keep her gloating to a minimum but Beefang isn't in much of the mood to do that and simply sweeps the ground with her feathery tail. "Maybe we could try catching a few more before we call it good." Beefang says with a faint smile hoping that she could make up her lost catch and possibly end up bringing something bigger to give to Claythorn and Willowroot for the kittens.

[Twinkleflight]

Hunting can be so boring, but Twinklepaw finds solace in admiring the river while waiting for the shadows of fish to glimmer beneath the currents. The way the light reflected off the water was exceptionally pretty today, from the angle she crouched while watching it the water almost made stars. A piece of StarClan, here with them in their clan, even if WindClan is meant to have a closer connection to the stars or whatever she believed that RiverClan was special enough to have such a symbolic fragment of that right now. She turns to @bubbleburst ready to chatter with her mentor about the lack of fish when it turns out someone at least seems to be having better luck.

Blue eyes widen in surprise and delight at Cherrytwist's catch. Envy resides somewhere at the pit of her stomach, by the time she processes it they manage to twist that feeling into a perception of admiration. How cool is it that she get's to watch someone catch a fish!? Clearly it shows the young warriors prowess as a warrior, she looks rather pleased too which is something that she loves to see in her clanmates. Even if catching a fish herself would be pretty cool, never mind. The apprentice practically squeals in delight, catching the noise in her throat in a futile attempt to not scare away any fish that waited to jump into another's paws. It sounds strained in her attempts to quiet it down, like a gurgling as if she had somehow managed to swallow the river water even if she's perfectly dry.

"Wow Cherrytwist! Can you show me how to be so stealthy some time?" She asks in a gasp, looking to her mentor for approval. The look was very clearly a silent plea with wide sky hued eyes for her to organise this sometime. That would be so cool even if she had to just sit and stare at the river for a little longer. Cherrytwist seemed effortlessly cool, so maybe hunting from her perspective could be just as cool.
