Rain fell on the prairie in a thin sheet. Maremane had explored enough to know where to go for shelter. Usually, she didn't mind, letting the storm hit her head on. This time, she clutched a plump rabbit in her jaws, leading @Tinytail to one of the most substantial shrubs. Even here, the water ricocheted off the leaves above, occasionally allowing one to drop onto her fur.

It wasn't perfect, but it would have to do. Maremane allowed Tinytail to get the most cover, crouching closer to the outside of the shrub as she set their meal down. The mist was frigid and refreshing.

Patrols, tunneling, and surface work greedily thieved their time. Though they returned to nests near each other and debriefed their days, the sunrise brought them responsibilities. Things that Maremane had to do because she chose to stay. Sometimes, when a clanmate wrung out her nerves, or when a hunting patrol came back empty-mouthed, her mind was foggy and tumultuous with regret. It was times like those where she would find her sister, seeing her joyous with her work, and remember what she was staying for. She would break her phantom wings a thousand times to make sure Tinytail always had someone there for her.

Sitting here with the rain pattering around them, Maremane's shoulders relaxed, and she could barely remember who had irritated her, or what they had said to set her off in the first place. "Sometimes I wish I could fit in the tunnels," she complained. She could almost understand why she didn't see tunnelers like Molewhisker so often. "Have you found anything interesting down there?" Maremane wouldn't admit she was prying to ask about danger.


 
Tinytail

Status: Happy



She follows her sister like a loyal dog. Steps sure even with her slowly failing vision, and her tail wagging as if it had a mind of its own. Her sister wishes to share a rabbit with her and it pleases Tinytail to see the other. The tunnels are dark and while she still has some ability to see above-ground, the total blackness is at least preparing her for she feels will be an inevitable conclusion. So she lives for the times in the sun with her sister. Drinking in the colors and patterns of her pelt for as long as she can. Committing it to memory so that she will never forget.

The rain and mist make that a difficult task on this day though. She squints through the squall as she tries to make out things behind the backdrop of grey. She shuffles under the bush she has been guided to and squishes her far smaller frame as far back as it will go. Hopefully Maremane will gain just as much shelter from the water as herself. "That would be a sight." She giggles at the other's words. To see the brown furred she-cat in the tunnels would have been strange. To see her as small as Tiny was would be even stranger. "You were made to chase the wind not the dirt. Not like I was sister. Besides. Who would I shelter under when the sky decides to dump a deluge of water on us all." She sticks her tongue out in a teasing manner. She didn't anymore but when they were younger, when they were still at the barn, she very much remembers fleeing from the cold press of rain by taking shelter under Maremane's larger form.

"Rocks! So many cool rocks! I've started a collection. There's some shiny ones and some colorful ones. Though I can't seem them too well so I don't collect as many. And then there's the sharp ones and the ones with funny textures, like rough or smooth, and then there's the blunt ones. There's so many and I like to think they each have a different story. I'm gonna find out what that story is and make sure they find new ones where their story makes sense." Tinytail gives a sharp nod. A rock had a match somewhere out there in the world and it was her mission to make sure each rock was matched to its person. "Have you found anything interesting up here?" She had the rocks down below but what was so interesting about being above ground?
