❪ TAGS ❫ — Snakepaw hates this. He hates waking up in a strange nest, he hates sharing a den with Vulturemask, he hates not being able to get out of this stuffy place and feel the breeze on his fur. Being brought fresh-kill and water-soaked moss was the only nice thing about this stay in the medicine den, as well as being excused from his duties now, but a small part of him felt somewhat disappointed. Just a few days ago Snakepaw had managed to catch his first rabbit and had felt so motivated to keep pushing in his training, but now that dung-faced fox had ruined everything. Would Snakepaw fall behind the other apprentices? Would he forget how to hunt and fight?
This particular evening, Snakepaw was feeling rather antsy. His bite wound was bandaged and treated but was still tender to the touch. Maybe if he managed to keep pressure off of his paw, he could slip out and enjoy the night air for a while.
The apprentice limped away from his nest on delicate paws; stealth had always been a strength of his, so Snakepaw was confident that he could bypass Vulturemask. As he ducked out of the medicine den, he accidentally stumbled and stepped on his injured paw, which caused him to grit his teeth and inhale sharply. "Ow...!" He hisses under his breath in an attempt to keep quiet, but to anyone stirring within the vicinity, it wouldn't be hard to miss.
