As If In A Trance

[Faulty]

Falterstep padded through the snow. Although he was limping it didn't look like it was impeding his progress. His smooth short ginger fur rippled across his lean muscles. His one white fore paw blended in with the small amount of snow that had fallen during the course of the night. His violet eyes seemed glazed as if he were caught in a trance as he walked.
His ears were pricked forward as if he were listening for something important. As he neared the lake his posture didn't change. If he continued the way he was going he would walk right into the lake.

(for scorched and sparky...and all the other Autumn cats..since this clan haddn't had any fun yet ^.^)

[Scorched]

Scorchedfoot padded quietly towards the lake, thirsty.He was staring at the ground, not paying attention to his surroundings, though he knew he was headed in the right direction.
As he was walking, he scented the air, and smelt something.Another cat;one of his clanmates actually.He looked up and saw Falterstep.Upon recognition of the tom, Scorchedfoot picked up his pace so he was trotting."Falterstep!"he called, as his feet propelled him through the snow.

Falterstep stopped when scorchedfoot's voice reached his ears. Shaking his head he turned to look at the Deputy. "Oh, hello Scorchedfoot." He said pleasently. By looking now no one would be able to tell that he had almost walked into the lake of his own free will.

[Scorched]

"Are you out getting some water too?"Scorchedfoot asked, walking past him to the lake.Flicking his ear, her bent down and drank some water, then straightened up, looking at Falterstep.

Falterstep nodded. "Well yes I was, how are you today?" He asked changing the subject away from the water. He had known exactly what he was doing, but he could have sworn he had heard a kit mewling from across the lake. Maybe he should tell Scorchedfoot, or maybe not. Sighing he decided to tell the deputy. "Scorchedfoot...to tell you the truth I heard what sounded like a kit mewling on the other side of the Lake." He admitted his paws shuffling in the dirt like an apprentice.

[Scorched]

Scorchedfoot sat down and soaked in the suns warmth.There was a pause and Falterstep spoke again.Startled by what the tom told him, Scorchedfoot jumped up."Really?!Then we should go look!No kit should be left out in the open!Especially since it's getting colder, oh, it's mother must be worried sick!C'mon, let's go."Scorchedfoot said starting towards the lake.
