Open Event Territory RiverClan somethin' so out of the ordinary 𓆟. ° .• — DIVE AND RELAX

[Adderfang]

{$title} After a rainy period RiverClan takes the time to enjoy the sunshine and explore Pebble Falls!

After a stretch of brooding skies, the new-leaf showers finally relented. The clouds thinned and gave way to blue skies. A pleasant warmth returned with the sun, soaking into the rocks and glinting off the water's surface in shifting patterns.

The falls hummed in the background, a constant rushing of water beneath the sounds of splashing paws and chatter. Cats dotted the banks, some waded through the shallows while others plunged boldly beneath the surface. The water was clear today and ideal for diving.

Cats saw glittering in the water during patrols here and there. Adderfang had seen it too, but adding to his collection or sprucing up camp did not interest him right now.

Instead, he sat diligently near the water's edge, watchful eyes trailing the young cats that swam. Apprentices were among them, and someone had to be their eyes and ears in case the worst happened.

While acted as lookout, he noticed a warrior surface nearby with something in their jaws—a shell, its slick spirals catching the sun. His ears pricked and his head tilted to get a better look. He was reminded of the shipyard and all the shells just like it that sometimes washed ashore.

He thought of Wavesong and how difficult it'd been for her when they made the decision to leave after the shed collapsed. It had taken a great amount of selflessness to give something she loved so dearly up, to choose what was best for their future and their kits. Even now, after settling into their new home, he knew she must still miss it.

A frown tugged at the edges of his muzzle. He knew a gift like that would make Wavesong happy, and he would be too just seeing that gorgeous smile of hers. The Life Guard rose to his paws, but he was conflicted. His gaze drifted between the shell and the young cats still splashing nearby. There was no excuse worthy of abandoning his post. What if someone slipped beneath the surface while he was distracted and drowned?
