She did not remember her first Leafbare very well. The frigid world had not infiltrated the Nursery and, now that she felt the frost on her toes and biting her severed ear, she felt woefully unprepared. Each step was met with a shiver and an energised hop to try and combat the cold, Bloodwing could not imagine it getting any colder than this, yet her mothers had told her to prepare. In the face of such adversity, her expression was somewhat stilted as she nosed about the brittle leaves and searched high and low for something useful. Foraging wasn't her forte, nor was hunting, and each new failure felt like an affirmation that she shouldn't be wasting her time with it.
Hope twinged in the form of new leaves, but as she pressed her paw to them, they were like ice and twice as brittle. Snaking her foot beneath them, she allowed her unsheathed claws to pierce the fragile flora. Her shoulders sagged and she tilted her head back. "Uggggggh," She watched the world behind her from its upside-down angle, swiveling about like a caffeinated weasel as she spotted her patrol partner a few steps away. Sneezeduck had always seemed better for this sort of work, but perhaps that just because she'd seen him as the normal one of the brothers, the one who could do more than chaotic brawling if he wished.
Even recently.
"This sucks, I can't find anything out here! Any luck?" She called out, tail lashing. When she got an affirmative answer, she stomped her paw against the earth, flinching at the splash of cold mud reaching her belly. "Dunno why I've been put on resource duty. I wanna fight ThunderClan not... this denbuilding foxdung." It wasn't foxdung, it was important, she knew it was important.
But she felt it was more important to do something she would not fail at.
