{Taigapaw} Painting the prey

_{Perhaps most warriors wouldn't be that amused by his antics or the antics of his dear brother. Still, they had to admit that they were also allowing Taigapaw and Tundrapaw to suffer by having them to be completely, mindnumbingly bored. Of course, Tundrapaw wasn't able to speak for his brother, but he was more than willing to bet that the feeling was mutual. With a deep sigh, Tundrapaw rolled onto his back. "What a perfectly, horribly boring day, ain't it Taigapaw?" he mewed, reaching towards branches that hung over the camp with his paws. The leaves were far beyond his reach however and did nothing to quell his boredom. It was horrible abuse, really.}

He had been thrilled to become an apprentice. Turned out that even being an apprentice did not mean you never got bored. There was still a lot of time to kill in between training exercises and just because he and his brother were now six moons old did not mean they got to go anywhere they liked. Far from it, actually. Now outside of camp was not forbidden terrain anymore, but the restraint had been replaced with: “You’ll need a warrior with you to look after you.” It seemed like the feeling was mutual, as his brother spoke up about it. ”It is,” he said with a small sigh. ”Any ideas to do something around camp? It’s like we’re kits all over again,” he asked his brother. Tundrapaw probably did not have anything in mind yet, otherwise he would have suggested it already. Still, it did not hurt to ask.

_{The leaves high above his head waved at him, enticing him, luring him to catch them. Sadly this was as impossible as walking around the territory at this point. Repressing another exasperated sigh, he rolled on his side and cast a glance at his twin brother. Tundrapaw pressed his chin to the dusty camp floor and grumbled something incomprehensible. This was not what was promised. He perked up his ears slightly at the words that Taigapaw offered him. Something to do.. he mused, the gears of his mind shifting. "Perhaps we could have a laugh?" He mewed, a grin forming on his features. Perhaps they could do something to tease other cats.. That was always fun.}

His brother was most definitely bored, just as much as he was. It did seem that there would soon come an end to that, because Tundrapaw suggested they perhaps could have a laugh when Taiga had asked if he had any ideas as to what to do. "I'd never say no to that, brother," he answered. They still had to come up with what though, but that never really seemed like that much of a problem for the two. If it involved mischief, they always had ideas. His gaze scanned around the camp, looking for something. It settled on the fresh kill pile. If there was one thing they should keep their paws off it was the fresh kill pile. Which made it an interesting target.

_{His brother agreed with him to create a mess. Tundrapaw could not help but grin, his eyes shining with mirth. He could always count on Taigapaw not to be boring! They were two peas in a pod, partners in crime through thick and thin. But now, his honey coloured gaze darted through the camp. Of course, they still had to come up with something to chase this dastardly boredom away! Eventually, his eyes landed on the medicine cat den. "Perhaps we could do something over there?" he pondered, taping his toes on the ground, "Rousebell is probably way too busy now Mistgaze managed to utterly lose her rank."}

His brother seemed to have something different in mind, as he suggested doing something over at the medicine cat den. Now that Mistgaze had resigned from her rank as Medicine Cat Rousebell was the only one in the Clan healing the sick and wounded, making her a very busy cat. ”Too busy to notice if we are careful. There should be a lot of things in there we could use,” he answered. Taigapaw already took a few steps in the direction of the den, eager to start their little mission.

_{Luckily, his brother was always able to follow his train of thought. It was almost like.. they were brothers! A huge grin appeared on the face of Tundrapaw when he met the golden gaze of Taigapaw. “Exactly!” Tundrapaw purred, getting to his paws and stretching his muscles for a bit. “Nobody would notice it if a few things would disappear, wouldn’t they?” His eyes gleamed while he already took a few steps into the medicine cat den, “unless you are too chicken?” he asked himself out loud, throwing a teasing glance over his shoulder.}
