Just before the kits are born and after her release!//
The orange and chocolate form would find its spindly way from the warriors den early that morning. Just merely yesterday, she had greeted a majority of her clanmates, shared cries of excitement as she became free yet again to wander camp, to finally see what others would see. Flamestar and everyone had done their best to put together the camp, and they did quite nicely. But with leafbare on the horizon, she would definitely acknowledge that there was plenty to do.
She would wake up early that morning, and seek a mentor and their apprentice to allow her to find her paws again. The limp in her back leg would not seem to easily go away, as she made her way to follow them across the forested ground, pain twisting as the apprentice found pinning paws painful to her, jumping back with worry. (What was it that Badgerstripe kept coming to the forface of her mind, distracting her so easily?) But she shook her head with a reassuring smile, that same smile to tell Flower paw that everything was fine. Because everything always would be.
After sparring practice, she would find herself in hunting practice, helping Lionblaze, (was it really helping as he had put it when she was so rusty?) but they had collected a few bodies, in which she reminded herself to thank starclan she was back home safe. Thank them, that she could make these catches here in Thunderclan.
Eventually, the time would end. Tigerwing would thank the warrior and apprentice, for letting her join, and she would bring her catch of a still warm mouse to the one she wanted to spend more time with. Her face poked into the nursery, her green eyes bright as the mouse hung from her jaws. Before finally, she would pull her spindly form in. "My friend," she purred a greeting, eyes pressing closed In a bright smile as she set the mouse before the black and white queen. "I caught this for you." She only hopes the molly was feeling hungry, Tiger did not know well, if the other had eaten or not recently, having been out all day.
But she knew that her mind would not come off the molly, that she would keep becoming distracted of the thoughts of the other. So she would offer a gift, and now find solace in that she could bring one that her own paws caught. "It all came back as easy as drinking water! I stumbled, and Flowerpaw won twice in a spar, but hunting was different," she purred in success, settling down to loaf before the other, green eyes watching her in excitement.
"I was curious," she prodded, leaning forward a bit. "if you had any energy, to come watch the sunset with me tonight?"
