For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic

[Wolf]

Deathwish sat on the forest floor, watching the trees swaying in the breeze. Birds chirped above in the sky, while clouds drifted lazily. Everything was so calm. He smiled slightly to himself. Maybe things aren't so bad.

[fernie. (:]

A ginger patched blur flitted through the trees, running the stiffness from her legs that had built up overnight. Not really paying attention to anything, Foxtail ground to a halt as she almost ran Deathwish over. 'Hello!' she mewed, smiling bashfully, and composing herself once more. 'How're you doing?' she asked, sitting down and curling her red tail around her paws, her green gaze on Deathwish.

[Wolf]

"You almost trampled me." Meowed Deathwish, whiskers twitching in amusement. "I'm alright. What about you?"

[fernie. (:]

Foxtail smiled, and touched her muzzle to the black tom's cheek. 'I'm fine thanks. And yeah, sorry about that, I was just stretching my legs.' she said, looking up at the skeletal trees, the leaves fallen and disappeared into the earth and leaving the trees bare. The she-cat shivered as a frosty wind swept through the trees, chilling her to the bone.

Deathwish purred, nuzzling Foxtail's neck. Feeling her shiver, he smiled. "I bet you wish you had my fur, it's warmer." He meowed, indicating his wiry coat, which was sticking up in places.

[fernie. (:]

Foxtail smiled and shuffled closer to Deathwish. She looked at her own silky, thin coat, and shivered again. 'Oh, I hate leafbare.' she said, closing her eyes and concentrating on the warmth coming from Deathwish's pelt. 'So, what's new?' she asked, opening her eyes and turning her intense gaze to the tom.

[Wolf]

"Not much. But I realised I needed to change, thanks to Cherrysmoke. She made me realise something else too." He meowed, smiling at her, and wrapping his tail around hers.

[fernie. (:]

Foxtail nodded, her large ears angled towards the tom. 'Oh really? What was that?' she asked, absently tapping her way up Deathwish's spine with her ginger tail. She tucked her paws underneath herself to keep warm, and continued looking at her mate.

[Wolf]

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, of course." He meowed, burying his face in her fur.

[fernie. (:]

Foxtail smiled, her green eyes wide with happiness. 'That's good, 'cus that's exactly what I was going to say.' she said, licking Deathwish between the ears with her sandpaper tongue. 'I love you, Deathwish.' she said quietly, watching a robin land a few tail lengths away, and peck at the frost hardened ground. She flicked her tail gently at it and it took off again, flying into the distance.

[Wolf]

"Not as much as I love you." Deathwish said, grinning and resting his head on Foxtail's shoulder.

[fernie. (:]

[[Hey Wolfie, just wanted to remind you, the average length for posts is supposed to be at least 80 words...]]
Foxtail sighed, closing her eyes, savouring the moment. She breathed in, opening her mouth to draw in the scents, and caught the strong whiff of mouse. Her eyes flicked open and she stood up slowly. 'Wanna hunt?' she asked quietly, not wanting to alert the mouse that they were here.

[Wolf]

(I know, but I didnt know what to put lol, also, I'm an ugm so yeah ^-^')
Deathwish nodded, moving away from her slowly, and somewhat reluctantly. He scented the air, and found himself rather overwhelmed by the smell of prey. He got slowly and quietly to his paws and stood, waiting for Foxtail.

[fernie. (:]

[[ugm? What's that?]]
Foxtail smiled one last time at Deathwish before bounding away into the bushes, paws light and silent as she opened her mouth again to scent the mouse. Her ears locked onto the sound of tiny feet scrbbling at the root of a tree, and Foxtail dropped into a hunting crouch immediately, dragging herself forward before puncing swiftly on the mouse and crushing its neck between her strong jaws. She then bounded back to Deathwish, scratching some earth over her prey so she could collect it later.

[Wolf]

(Ugm is ugly ginormous minger lol XD Me and Shade made it up)
Deathwish smiled at Foxtail, flicked his tail flirtily, then, scenting a thrush, dropped to the ground and crept carefully towards it. He watched it pecking at the ground a few foxlengths away, then crept forwards again. Suddenly, it looked up, saw him and opened it's wings ready to fly away. Deathwish flew at it, his claws sinking into it just as it took off. He killed it with a quick bite, then returned to Foxtail, burrying it near her mouse.

[fernie. (:]

[[LOL!! But you're not!]]
Foxtail sat and gave herself a quick wash as she waited for Deathwish. As she bent her head to lick her chest, the black tom come back with a thrush. 'Excellent. The fresh-kill pile was looking really low when I came out this morning.' she said, and as she said it, a soft pattering introduced the first frops of a freezing rain. Foxtail screeched quietly, the rain going straight through her and chilling her to the bone.

[Wolf]

(lol aw Foxtail screeched)
"Aw, my poor little darling." Deathwish meowed gently, pressing against her to try and protect her from the evil rain. "Should we get back to camp? It is getting kind of cold."

[fernie. (:]

[[LOL]]
Foxtail nodded and silently found the mouse she had caught. Then, tail drooping and whiskers dripping, she waited for Deathwish to grab his prey. She shivered violently and watched rain drip off her nose, shaking her head to try and keep more rain from falling on it.

[Wolf]

Deathwish picked up the thrush, then returned to Foxtail's side, pressing against her in an attempt to keep her warm.
