 Orchidclan Warrior - they/them
Gripping the fresh-kill in their teeth, Pouncebloom hauled themself up the side of the tree. The sound of their claws on the bark rang louder as they reached the hollow they'd spotted from the ground. With the weather getting colder, it was worth a little extra effort to cache prey out of reach of ground predators.
Oh. Wow. This tree was pretty full already. Gleaming gold-brown acorns were mounded in the nooks and crannies of the hollow, along with a few blackened seedpods and even what looked to be a withered crabapple. They'd happened upon the stash of some squirrel or bird. Pouncebloom tilted their head. Maybe it even belonged to the squirrel that hung from their jaws just now.
Pouncebloom stuffed the squirrel awkwardly into the gap, just temporarily, to allow them to speak. Several acorns spilled out in its place, bouncing down the trunk and onto the leaf litter.
“Hey,” they called down to the rest of the hunting patrol. “Do we, uh, need acorns for anything? Ice-eyes doesn't use them for medicine, right? Or, um, apples? Or whatever this stuff is?" Pouncebloom's voice grew muffled as they wriggled their front end into the hollow to reach for a seedpod.

sorrelwhisker (he/him) | orchidclan Sorrelwhisker jumped back as the acorns came crashing down in front of him, his tail momentarily puffing out from the fright. He looked skyward to see Pouncebloom's back end seemingly sticking out of a hole higher up in the tree. For just a moment, he allowed his exterior to crack, muttering something under his breath knowing that his hunting partner could not hear him about the idiocy around him in OrchidClan. Was this really the Clan that his great-grandfather set out to create? A Clan of half-kittypets that abandoned their duties in order to forage for squirrel treats?
OrchidClan was already struggling as is when it came to food no thanks in part to a fox problem. Of course, Sorrelwhisker also wasn't a huge fan of the fact that rather than simply handling the fox problem, Morningstar thought the answer was to instead steal territory from GaleClan. Of course, don't get him wrong - he was all for taking territory, but doing it simply because they were too afraid to deal with some measly foxes was not what he thought was the solution.
The tom gathered himself. He knew he would have to humour Pouncebloom for a moment. "I don't think so," he called out in response to the medicinal question. "I also believe Dipperpaw did a run this morning for some herbs they were low on - but maybe we could use them for something else?" he called out. Of course, he had his own ideas. He supposed if they really had to, they could use the nuts to lure out some critters, but it just didn't seem necessary. They already had their noses to find what they were searching for rather than waiting around for who knows how long for a squirrel to come out.
"Is there anything else in there?" Sorrelwhisker called out, hoping that the answer would be no and that they could simply move on. | tracker | adopts | plotter |
