" you're hot, then you're cold "
otterpaw sat back on her haunches, admiring her work. she'd been organizing the herb stash for the past half hour, and finally had everything organized. each herb lay in its own, neat little pile. leaves on the left, seeds in the middle, berries on the right. travelling herbs lay on the other side, along with the common herbs needed for minor illnesses. poppy seed, marigold, and cobweb were just a few.
otterpaw allowed a smile to cross her maw, then stood. she padded towards the small pool at the back of the den, lapped up a bit of the fresh, cool water, and then headed through the tunnel of ferns out into the camp.
cold smacked her in the face the minute she set paw outside her den. shivering slightly, she ruffled her fur to keep herself warm, and promptly moved towards the freshkill pile. she chose a scarlet-red cardinal, but rather than returning to her den to eat, she padded towards the tree stump where the apprentices often shared their meals. maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to get to know a few of them.

Cherrypaw poked her fiery ginger head out from the apprentices den, blinking slightly in the bright light. She peered around the camp, but saw no one. The tabby shrugged and pulled the rest of her body from the den. She shook herself, letting snow fly in every direction, before trotting towards the freshkill pile. It was sunhigh, if she wasn't mistaken. Lately she was relying on her hunger rather than the sun to judge the time, simply because the sun stayed hidden behind the thick blanket of gray clouds. It wasn't exactly the most trustworthy method, but it seemed to work for her. So long as she went hunting first, she told herself she could eat whenever.
Cherrypaw bent her head and wrapped her jaws around a scrawny, young rabbit, then turned back to the den. Her eyes widened slightly when she spotted Otterpaw sitting by the tree stump. Her distinctive brown and white pelt stood out from the snow. Cherrypaw probably hadn't sensed the other apprentice because she'd been upwind. Well, it wouldn't do any harm to share a meal with her.
The ginger tabby trotted back to her eating place, and made herself comfortable next to the other apprentice. She took a bite of her freshkill, allowing the warm blood to flood through her mouth before beginning a conversation.
"Hey, Otterpaw." she purred, and although her voice sounded casual, she gave the apprentice a respectful nod. "Eating in a different place today?"

" you're hot, then you're cold "
otterpaw heard a cat come out of the den, and lifted her head to watch. she couldn't see the den entrance from here, but a moment later, she spotted a bright ginger tabby stalking across the camp. otterpaw was downwind from her, so the other apprentice must not have sensed her presence. otterpaw shrugged, and took another bite of her cardinal before looking back up at the she-cat.
that was hawkstar's daughter, wasn't it? she didn't look a thing like him, but she certainly looked like her dad's girlfriend. flame-whatsit. she didn't look like her mother, either, but that wasn't saying much, since hawkstar and brackentwist could have been twins.
otterpaw stopped her eating as the tabby came and sat beside her, and watched as she took a bite of prey before speaking. let's not rush things. otterpaw thought scornfully.
"hey, otterpaw. eating in a different place today?"
rather than thinking to herself how boring a question that was, otterpaw mentally shrugged it off and nodded in response to the tabby's question. "yeah, i thought i might like to talk to someone." she smiled. "cherrypaw, right? that's your name? hard to keep track of everyone, i find."
" you're yes, then you're no "

Cherrypaw let a smile cross her maw, and nodded appreciatively. "Yep, that's my name. I do find it hard to keep track of so many names, I even get my sisters mixed up sometimes."
The ginger tabby bent down, pulled another piece of meat from the rabbit's body, and chewed thoughtfully. "It's a wonder Hawkstar can keep making up names for all these warriors. Difficult not to give two cats the same name, I think."
Cherrypaw took another bite, and swallowed. She ruffled her fur, and squinted as another gust of wind blew through the camp. She shivered, and wrapped her tail tightly around her body. "Hasn't been this cold for a while." she remarked.

" you're hot, then you're cold "
otterpaw glanced down at her cardinal. it was about half done. she nodded in response to cherrypaw's question, before nudging the cardinal towards her with a paw. "here, i'm full. you finish it."
in truth, the cardinal had only taken the edge of her hunger, but she didn't want to finish it. probably it wasn't good for her. the brown and white she-cat let her head rest between her paws, and glanced around the camp. not many cats were out and about. either they were snuggled away in their dens, or out hunting on hawkstar's orders.
"hey, why don't we go see if the river has frozen over?" she asked suddenly, glancing at cherrypaw with bright eyes. "i'm sure riverclan won't mind if we go skating."
" you're yes, then you're no "

across the camp, coldpaw lifted his head, a bit of mouse meat hanging from his jaw. he quickly licked it up, and his eyes flickered in the direction of cherrypaw and otterpaw. well, he was bored, and having someone to talk to didn't sound so bad. the tom gulped down the rest of his meal, then crossed the clearing, waving his tail in greeting.
"hey. hope i'm not interrupting a girl-chat." he teased, batting at cherrypaw's ears with a white paw. "what's up? mind if i join you?"

Cherrypaw glanced down at the cardinal, gave Otterpaw a questioning look, then shrugged. She had said she wasn't hungry. Cherrypaw really had no choice but to believe her and eat the rest of the cardinal, which she gladly did. At the idea of skating, her pale green eyes lit up. "Oh yes, let's do it!" she purred, swallowing the rest of the scarlet red bird.
The ginger tabby looked up as Coldpaw approached. She ducked out of the way, and returned the playful action by swiping a tabby paw at his nose. "Oh yeah, furball, you ruined everything." she giggled, flicking her tail cheerfully. "You wanna come skating with me and Otterpaw? We're just about to head over to the river and see if it's frozen."

coldpaw's eyes immediately lit up at the idea. he nodded quickly, his pelt prickling with excitement. "yeah, let's go!" he glanced around camp, reassuring himself that no one was watching, and then waved his tail towards the entrance. "after you."

" you're hot, then you're cold "
a purr rumbled in otterpaw's throat. "such a gentleman." she laughed. the brown and white feline stood and brushed past coldpaw, allowing her tail to flick teasingly under his chin. she glanced back and gave him a coy smile, then padded gracefully out of the camp.
ooc;

Cherrypaw rolled her eyes, allowing Otterpaw to pass before she stood, ginger paws sinking slightly into the snow. She brushed past Coldpaw, and flicked his ear teasingly with her tail. "Don't get carried away." she chuckled, glancing back at him. "You still have training to complete." And with that, she slipped outside the camp, following after her friend.

coldpaw grinned as otterpaw passed by him. he breathed in her sweet scent, sniffing slightly as her tail brushed under his chin. his eyes followed her out of camp, then turned to cherrypaw. "oh, i wouldn't dream of it." he laughed, and trailed after the two she-cats.
