PLAYED BY SHEOGORATH
Failure after failure, Nettlepaw returns from each hunting patrol and training session feeling more irritable than the last. His eyes are narrowed as paws crunch through a thin crust of crystalline white. It chills his pads, only adding to the frustration that prompts a hasty lash of his thick tail. Tracking prey was easy enough, but actually pouncing on it? And with ice creeping along the edges of the river, there's been less crowfood to scavenge. The poor tom hasn't brought prey in for days. Now, though, his feet are numb, and his mood is equally as bitter as the ice that forms upon his misty breath. At least he's been given permission to eat something from the fresh-kill pile, having worked his tail off in the wintry weather all day. Before he can make his way there, however, an obstacle presents itself within his path, a blurry figure of shadow against the white of the snow. Blind as he is, Nettlepaw can't tell who the other RiverClanner is at first, until their scent washes over his flaring nostrils.
"Lichent- " The boy pauses, squints thoughtfully. There was something different about the smell, as if it were two scents intertwined. This wasn't Lichentail, he realizes. The apprentice had been mistaken. "Hazecloud?" Nettlepaw questions, as confused as he is curious. "Sorry, I thought you were Lichentail at first. Her scent is all over you." He remarks, and he's certainly not quiet about it. Already his thunderous voice has drawn the attention of others, though Nettlepaw doesn't yet notice.
