Sorry about the lack of updates; I find that I have little motivation and my workspace is freezing as it's underground and the weather here is very chilly! Anyway, I appreciate your alls' reviews! On with the show! ~Mosspath.
When Skysong woke up, it was dawn.
"Skysong!" Hawkwing hissed. "It's your turn for watch." Still groggy and blinking off sleep, Skysong managed to stand up and position herself outside Mothermouth. It was tricky not falling asleep, but she felt better after awhile. The sun was steadily rising in the sky and Skysong's shadow was prominent by the time Mousestar slipped out of Mothermouth followed by Quailflight.
"How'd it go?" Skysong asked. Mousestar didn't reply, his sand-colored eyes troubled.
"Why don't you rouse the others, Skysong?" Quailflight called to the warrior as she nudged Amberflower.
"No need." Hawkwing said hastily scrambling to his paws. "I'm up." Rabbitcatcher was stretching nearby.
"We'd best get back to the Clan before sunhigh." The white-and-brown deputy advised. "We've been gone long enough." Mousestar gave a curt nod.
"Right." Amberflower rolled her eyes.
"Okay, I'm awake, I'm awake."
