There were days where talon had lost the ability to remember where he was. He'd wake up from a nap, his body tense, his limbs striking outwards and his teeth baring. after the first time, after single blue eye caught onto meadowpaw inches from him- alarmed, talon had moved his nest to the back corner, further from the entrance. Further from the passing gazes he could see- and deeper into the shadows. It had eased, day by day longer, but sometimes, it still happened.
Unfortunately for morningpaw, talon felt the eyes on his sleeping form- and he woke up from the restless nap with a jolt, black claws digging into the nest as he shot up, body twisting and heart thudding of danger in his chest. He didn't relax, but he moved from aggressive at the sight of the other child to his normal sulk. Head lowered, and limbs stiff, expecting and apprehensive.
"y' can't sneak up on someone sleepin' " he grumbled, rolling his shoulders behind his head. His blue gaze squinted, recognizing- "y' the girl when I first came. didn't catch a name though. hopeful- for a stranger." His bland tone, suggested him the stranger, and it confused him. but otherwise, he left it there. "I ain't dead yet." He assured, unsure why she was there.
