Giving him a slight smile of encouragement, [color=f26522]"this has been a harsher leafbare than usual, hopefully it won't drag on."[/color] Standing up and shaking the numbness out of her paws she began heading towards the entrance to camp, giving a nod to the border patrol that stood nearby preparing to leave as well. [color=f26522][i]Starclan watch over us[/i][/color]...as she passed through the entrance into the snow covered forest, glancing around deciding where the best place to hunt would be.[/center]

Duskwing glanced towards Moosepaw [color=f26522]"where do you think the prey would be hiding this time of day?"[/color] Hoping to give her apprentice the opportunity to collect his thoughts and prepare for a difficult hunt, while also having her own strategy in mind, if he needed a bit of a hint, would be a good way to get into the proper mindset.
