The other night dear
As a lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cry

It'd become routine almost for the white paws that melded into a tabby body to find themselves cluelessly wandering the same age old path. Threading his way along the trail and over mounds of snow; though oddly this time he clutched what looked the be a large crow between his maw. A lucky kill of a bird with a broken wing. Amber eyes skittish and jumping from snow mound to mound as he sought a place to just relax and eat his meal without worry. Tail and ears tucked close for once in seemingly fear as the large figure attempted to seem smaller

---

Skyspirit was padding along rather close to the city, he had taken his patrols closer and closer there whenever he was out alone, and now it was common to see him in the shadows cast by the ramshackle buildings. Now he padded along to that place, that little open field that he had last seen his shadow in, white paws padding along soundlessly in the snow before he caught the smell of another cat. Head tilting, he turned to stare among the rubble that littered the edges of the city, blue eyes curious but unafraid, going completely still, before the scent faded...had someone...been there? Tail curling closer, he broke into a lope, still not fleeing out of fear, but just continuing along his original path, which led him spiraling through the snow in great bounds until he caught a different smell, one that danced across his tongue and clung to his chest.

"Shadow," he purred aloud to the wind, as though it could share in the joy of another meeting with the cat he was reluctant to refer to as a stranger any longer, his azure gaze flickering across the mounds of snow in search of where his dark tabby companion was this time.

---

Settling down the tom nestled among the snow quietky, using teeth to carefully clear away the feathers to reach the meat his stomach sought. It wasn't long before blood messily stain the ground and feather stuck into the snow around him in bundles as he swallowed a few bites.

---

The scent of blood soon also reached Skyspirit's senses, and he froze, eyes going wide with concern as his pace increased. He looked like a spirit of the wind, his fur billowing around him and his blue eyes reflective of the bright sky above him, paws flying through the snow, creating arcs of flakes behind him as he wheeled around a bend, coming up on Gale from behind to only see his hunched figure with blood on the snow around him, "Shadow!?"

---

Briefly a low growl began to rumble into his throat at the sound of somebody approaching; fur raising in aggression instead of fear until the voice split through his mind. The other wouldn't be after his meal would he? He'd offered him food before hadn't he?

Raising to his feet the male whirled around to look at the other. Feathers still clinging to his pelt and eyes widen in a faint state of shock. Other then a few scratches from varying skirmishes the male himself was unharmed.

"Aye... Sunshine? Startin' tah recognize me bette'?" Keeping his body low the male kept himself carefully between the other and his prey, ears twitching carefully to listen to everything as he waited to see if he needed to get outta there.

---

Skyspirit felt his breath catching in his throat, paws flicking to a stop as he skidded to a full halt, snow spraying up. Tail stiff and lifted off the ground, his ears were pricked entirely forward, feeling as though everything around him had come to a screeching halt, each breath ten times louder than it actually was, until the moment Gale turned and he could see the tom was unharmed...well...there were scratches he could see, but the amount of blood was from the prey...crow? Was that...was that all he had eaten lately? Worry was etched in his eyes but it was soon overtaken with relief as he padded forward in an attempt to press his muzzle to the male's shoulder and breathe in his scent.

"You're okay...thank Starclan you're okay..."

---

Briefly another growl began to work its way up into his throat, limbs tensing as though the snow had frozen him and claws slipping loose. Though as the growl began to rip free the male's ears caught the next sentence and all again the tom went silent as confusion filled him. For a long moment amber eyes remained narrowed and unsettled as he sorted through thoughts before they relaxed to watch the other more quietly.

"Yah need tah speak before yah approach a cat with food Sunshine I nearly hurt yah thinkin' yah were gonna take i't away!" Sighing slightly the male seemed intent to remain between the other and his meal. Though limbs relaxed and claws slipped back in.
