"C'mon Destinedpaw, give yourself a little more credit than that. It was a great catch, and besides, it didn't see you coming because you wouldn't let it." He walked over to the apprentice and stood so he was standing beside her instead of in front. "Ya know.." He thought, "I'm beginning to have second thoughts about not burying it in the snow. I mean, can you just imagine the look on the cat's face when they tey to bite into frozen squirrel." He let out a small mrrow of laughter. "What do you think, Destinedpaw? Should we do it? If we get caught, I'll take the blame if you want."

Destinedpaw looked down again, she wasn't one to like tricking others but a small smile had dawned her face at the idea of it, of course she wouldn't want anyone to gt hurt thought, and who knew what could happen if they tried biting into a hard squirrel? They might bite their tounge, not a major injury but painful from Destinedpaw's experiances. She shook her head rufely at Silvercloud, a small sparkle in her eye though as she dared another darting look at him would have told anyone she thought it would have been quite funny though. Walking over to the tree she scraped aside some of the leaves, quickly dug a shallow dip so that the squirrel's body wouldn't make a noticable bulge in the leaves then set it down in the dip and covered it with leaves. Walking back over to Silvercloud she pointed her tail in the direction of the deeper parts of the forest, "Your turn" she said, only a hint of teasing in her tone. She knew she must seem strange always having ever changing mood swings of shyness and friendlyness, but he was one of the few she even had the swings around, and that hadn't even been before today, she was starting to think of him as a friend she guessed waiting for him to lead the way.

Silvercloud nodded his head. Spying mouse tracks, the tom followed them until they led him to a scrawny looking mouse. "Gotcha." He thought, but the mouse picked up his scent, and paniced. It started to burrow furiously into the snow, and Silvercloud smiled. When it had burried itself, he jumped on his hind legs, and crashed down on the snow, caving in the mouse's emergency tunnel. He pounced again, this time, crushing the prey, and killing it. He picked it up in his mouth, and dropped it on the ground, "Not as graceful as you, but, hey, it works, and its fun."

Silvercloud looked so very silly pouncing around in the snow that Destinedpaw couldn't help but let a chuckle out and when he said those words she had to swallow down another. She quickly shook off the snow that she had noticed had flown onto her as he'd jumped around. Her smile was still bright on her face when she walked over a little closer, "Do you want to burry it so we can hunt some more or take them back to camp for now?" she asked all shyness broken from her mood by the "show".

OOC: My dog actually does that. If she's on the bed, and you put your hand under the covers, she'll think there's something there, and pounce on your hand. You have to move your hand way quick, or else- it hurts! >.<
"Why don't we bury it, but just catch prey when we come across it? Its a beautiful day in the forest; you know, with the snow and all." Silvercloud looked around at all the crystalized trees, heavy with their burden of snow. One's burden was too heavy, and it droped a little onto Silvercloud's nose. He crossed his eyes to look at it, then shook it off. So, what do you say?"

"Ok!" she said a hint of a friendly and humored purr in her voice as she smiled at him when he shook the snow from his nose. "I never was much of one to like oly doing something without a little fun.' her words were mostly true except in a few cases but eighther way she waited, tail twitching excitedly as she waited for him to bury his mouse.

"Right, let's go!" He quickly burried his mouse, and then trotted up beside Destinedpaw. "I want to show you something really cool I found the other day." Leading the way through the frozen grotto, Silvercloud stopped at an uprooted tree root. Between it and the ground was a "mouth" of teeth-like icicles. "I don't know how it does it, but its really cool, cause when the sun hits one, it reflects to the others until the last one makes this really pretty rainbow thing." It was obvious silvercloud was excited about this.

Destinedpaw smiled slightly as he spoke, "Should I be worried about your sanity?" she asked in a joking tone, making her face into a mask of mock worry that looked truely genuine except for the small smile across her face and the twinkle in her eye. She watched the icicles with a wonder, they were a beautiful on their own and as the clouds started to part a little she waited to see what Silvercloud had indicated might happen.

One by one, the iceicles lit up, reflecting the light to one another, until the last one projected a briliant colored light display onto a near-by tree. Colors danced as the sunlight started to melt the ice, making water droplets slide down the teeth. The result were colors that never stayed still, alway be distorted and changed. "Pretty." Was all Silvercloud said.

Destinedpaw watched in wonder as the colors danced and swirl, the ice a cold but beautiful thing in the sun's cold rays. She found herself wanting to purr in the first time for scince before she'd joined the clan as a young kit. She couldn't though, she didn't know how purring was related to life anymore. Instead she let her hesitant smile slowly broaden until she wanted to just smile all day at the sight. "Yes it is" she agreed though her mind was hardly in the words as her eyes sparkled and she watched it mezmarized.

Slowly, the clouds started to cover the sun once again, and one by one, the icicles dakened until the colored lights disappeared from the tree. "So, do you have a special place?" Asked Silvercloud.

"N-no" Destinedpaw replied quickly jumping to her paws. Her speacial place wasn't one others knew about and it was a place for her to cry, he surely wouldn't want to see it. She sudden;y realized that her quick rejection probably seemed suspisious and she looked down at her paws in shame at her out burst, "S-sorry" she said quietly.

Silvercloud merely smiled, "It's okay." He said, "We can just walk if you want." A beetle scurried in front of them. Silvercloud tilted his head one way, and poked at the bug. It withdrew it's legs. Silvercloud poked it again, and suddenly, it snapped it's body, making a very loud "click", which launched it into the air and right into the tom's face. Silvercloud let out a high-pitched "yip", and leapt several tail-length back. Emarassed, he sat down and gave his chest fur a few self-consious licks. "I meant to do that," he explained, "poor bug would've felt foolish if I hadn't reacted how it wanted. I just didn't want ta hurt 'is feel'ns, tats all." He slowly crept back up to the beetle, like he was stalking a mouse, and dabbed it with his paw again. Again, it clicked into the air, and Silvercloud quickly withdrew his paw, as if burnt.

Destinedpaw calmed a little as he started messing with the beetle, her father's death site wasn't somewhere he'd have likely wanted to see any ways. Her smile rearose as the beetle jumped at him, he acted younger then she did, though she probably should have been that curious at her age. She even risked a quick purr of humor as he went and repeated what he had just done again, shaking her head rufuly at his non-scence. "Are you going to hunt it too and bring it back as fresh-kill or shall we continue?" her voice was steady for once but teasing once again.

"I don't know. Looks pretty tastey." He joked. He leaned in to add effect, but this time, the beetle seemed to click at his face, as if meant as an insult. "Oh, so you wanna go huh?" He hissed at it. It clicked.
Hiss. Click. Hiss. Click Hiss
Silence.
Satisfied that he had won, Silvercloud turned and walked away, a smug smile on his face (only Silvercloud would feel a sense of achievment from winning against a click beetle). Then.........-
Click.
