{$title} takes place prior to the barn fire
The spring air was crisp and light, bringing along the scent of freshly turned dirt and newly ambling lambs. Raven curled up in the loft of the barn, letting the breeze ruffle his fur, his paws twitching as he chased a mouse in his dreams. As he readied himself to pounce, he flexed his legs and...
"Wake up, ya big lump!"
Raven was shocked out of his sleep, looking up at the interruption. Mallow stood above him, grinning and flicking his tail to and fro. His brother tapped Raven's head with one soft paw, laughing as Raven tried rolling out of the way and instead getting a faceful of hay.
"Leave me alone, Mallow!" he grumbled. "Haven't you ever heard of respectin' your elders?" Mallow snorted.
"Callin' yourself old?" he teased. Raven huffed and stood, shaking flecks of hay from his pelt.
"Get on outta here," he meowed, playfully shoving his brother. "Weren't you going to see what was goin' on with those big groups by the forest?" Mallow shrugged.
"Maybe," he answered. "All I know is someone told me last night not to let him sleep in." Raven sighed and brushed past his brother as he made his way to the ladder down.
"Alright. Just be careful out there, yeah?" Without waiting for an answer, Raven hopped down each rung to where the rest of the barn cats gathered, purring as he greeted a few of his fellow residents.
"Mornin'," he mewed. "Anyone up for a little mornin' run in the field?"
