Diving has become a mainstay in RiverClan activities. If cats are not lounging in the shallows, helping with reed weaving, or fishing up shiny minnows, they are often found seeking and diving for shiny bits. Frostmoth is one such cat who has found himself interested in diving for treasures. It's an easy and relaxing pastime. Plus, when he's able to find a big mollusk, it's always rewarding to crack one open and see what's inside. Today, a shiny ball rolls about and glitters in his paws, and it's glimmering has attracted the approach of Dogflicker.
"A... um..." He tries to answer. The name escapes Frostmoth for a long moment.
"A pearl," he says finally, almost deflating from the relief that he has remembered the word.
"Do you want this one? I like the scales and shells more." He holds out the pearl towards Dogflicker, and the iridescent ball rolls precariously about on his paw.
"Adderfang showed me how to dive," he concedes with a smile, as if he is divulging some secret to the warrior
"If you see something sparkling in deeper waters... Sometimes it's a pretty treasure!" Frostmoth straightens up, feeling a bit proud of his knowledge.
"And these come from mollusks- those hard closed shells that we find sometimes. You have to put in the effort to break them open, but I think it's worth it."
Frostmoth turns to collect the remnants of the shell he has smashed and brushes them towards Dogflicker. He isn't sure what sort of creature it is, but he holds out the shiny black and brown shell halves for the warrior to see. He's done an admittedly cleaner job here than he usually does.
"Besides, even if you don't find a pearl inside, there's still meat. Pretty great treasure if you ask me."
