Tallspear-->Softling, SilentShe accepted some berries and stood there for a long, quiet while, staring at a stick between Tallspear and Silent's feet. 'One good deed deserves an awkward situation, apparently.' Softling goaded herself. Tallspear ate a few berries. "It doesn't look like we'll be going anywhere for a little while," he said at last. "If you two are up for a quick hunt, why don't we try to find a rabbit? A little fresh meat would go good with these berries."

Whirlwind to OakstaffFortunately, he had not problems to ponder now. His day ahead was simple. He would get up. He would practice with his quarterstaff. He'd follow Ashglow or Redthorn on the hunt. They'd come back, eat, clean up, and then begin their night's travels. Whirlwind hummed to herself as she stretched against Oakstaff. "That was good," she sighed, turning over to look at him through half-lidded eyes. "And I had such a good rest, too. I hope Sunsong makes a holt as comfortable as this little camp." She sat up and stretched her arms, yawning widely. Just then Stormfire's voice broke the peaceful stillness. "Oh, no," Whirlwind groaned. "Now what?" She looked over the edge of her nest and stared at Stormfire, gripping hold of a dancing Sunsong. Whirlwind drew back, then reached for her clothes. "Sorry, my dear," she told Oakstaff, dressing with skyfire-like speed. "The treeshaper's lost her wits at last, and it looks like she's trying to drive my sister out of hers."

Sunsong to Stormfire
Sunsong laughed and twisted her wrists in Stormfire's hold until she could pull free and grab Stormfire's hands. Pulling the slighter, smaller elf into a spinning dance she laughed again. "I found the answer, Stormfire! I know what to do! It's going to be glorious, it really will! Oh, wait til you see!"
But enthusiasm and a tired body didn't mix well, and Sunsong's feet couldn't quite keep up with her will. She tripped and collapsed to the ground breathless and giggling. She lay on her back and smiled at Stormfire, blue-green eyes sparkling with so much excitement it was contagious. "Just wait...Just wait til y-" A huge yawn cut her off mid-word and the plantshaper blinked in surprise.
Nightsun to Wingfoot
Nightsun jumped at Wingfoot's touch and his voice, neither of which she'd been expecting. She hadn't felt him coming near, and she'd always felt that before. Of course, all those times she's been watching him, too. This was the first time she'd left the camp alone and he'd followed her.
"Wingfoot," she answered, tilting her head back to smile up at a him. She examined his face closely, then turned her head to press her cheek lightly against the hand he'd put on her shoulder. "You slept well," she noted with satisfaction. "I worried that you would not."

Tallspear ate a few berries. "It doesn't look like we'll be going anywhere for a little while," he said at last. "If you two are up for a quick hunt, why don't we try to find a rabbit? A little fresh meat would go good with these berries." Silent bit his tongue in surprise. Him? Go on a hunt? He'd been practicing with sling and spear whenever possible, and he still wasn't able to hit the broad side of a boulder. To invite him on a hunt would be disastrous. No matter how much he might like to try. *Hunt with Softling. You'll have better luck,* Silent spoke up, shaking his head as he sent openly. *I'd just make a wreck of things/ [simple truth].* He shrugged. *Thank you, though. For that and the berries.* Shellslip, Sunsong:Elsewhere in the camp, Shellslip had just finished checking her darts when the commotion with Sunsong started up. She recognized the treeshaper's voice, and collected the mussels Silverfang had kindly collected, and went to carry them to the center of activity. "I hear someone's up," she called. |

Soflting to Tallspear, Silent
"Yes." Softling felt a bit of cold run down her back as she agreed to Tallspear's suggestion. The cub in her stamped her foot and argued, but she maintained an oddly calm expression, trying not to look conflicted. She had to take these opportunities, not just wander off all the time. Had to, had to...besides, part of her was sort of excited. She said nothing to Silent at his sending at first, unsure of how to respond. From what she understood, he was genuinely terrible at the hunt. Should she offer for him to come anyways?
"Are you sure?" Softling asked finally.

Sunsong to Shellslip, Stormfire
"Hello, Shellslip!" Sunsong said merrily, waving at her friend from her prone position on the ground. "I'm not so sure about up," she admitted with a laugh, "but I'm awake! Did you sleep well?"
She pushed herself up into a sitting position and watched as Shellslip walked towards them. "It's it a lovely day?" she asked. "It's going to be a wonderful night! What's everyone doing?"

Oakstaff to Whirlwind, Ashglow
“You shouldn’t be so cruel in your judgements, Whirlwind,” he said mildly, sitting up and watching her dive into her clothes. “It’s unkind – and unfair.”
She wouldn’t listen, he suspected. Whirlwind seldom listened to anyone but those who agreed with her. He shook his head and reached for his own clothing. There was hunting to be done before they set off and if Whirlwind was going to wax critical, he’d rather have another hunting companion.
*Ashglow,* he sent as he pulled on his tunic. *Would you care to go hunting?*

Stormfire to Sunsong, everyoneShe pushed herself up into a sitting position and watched as Shellslip walked towards them. "It's it a lovely day?" she asked. "It's going to be a wonderful night! What's everyone doing?" "We're about to decide that now." Shaking her head, and wondering what she'd do without Sunsong, Stormfire sent openly to her tribemates. *Wolfriders! Come down to me! I call council before we prepare to set off this night!*

Silverfang to Icemark
Silverfang smiled and accepted the food. "Thank you," he said. He motioned at the meat that Starfire hunted for him. "You want any of it?"
Just as he asked, he then heard Stormfire's call, echoing through his mind above all others. "Well, I guess you can eat on the run," he said.

Silent had been about to send to Softling and assure her he was sure when Stormfire called. He jerked in surprise, then shook his head and stood up. *We should go,* he sent to Tallspear and Softling, and started towards their chieftess, squirrel still in hand.
Shellslip was surprised. Council? Why? And why now? Well, she was there now, so she would see what was what soon enough. She passed the shells to Sunsong. "A morning snack, just for you," she said.
