"We're not sure yet… they're too young to actually do anything right now, of course, so we'll just be keeping an eye on them." Dewpaw sighed and Duckwing nodded.

“Good call,” Coppershine replied. “Think you’re ok to head back to camp, Dewpaw?”
Dewpaw hesitated before nodding and falling back into a silent state. On the way back, he randomly trotted off. Duckwing was nervous at first, but Dewpaw returned a few seconds later with some marigold.
“Nice, bud! Oh, yeah, gimme a second! You just reminded me!” She padded towards where she had buried the mouse and dug it up. “Duckwing, you better catch something fast, cause you’re the only prey I’m seeing right now,” Coppershine purred.
Duckwing rolled his eyes and went into a nearby clearing. A minute later, he returned with a rabbit and kept walking.
Soon, the trio arrived at camp. Coppershine dropped off her mouse in the fresh-kill pile and curled up on a flat stone warmed by the sun.
(( i gotta get some sleep! toodles! ))
Duckwing escorted Dewpaw to the medicine den to make sure he didn't run off and went to eat with Coppershine.
Coppershine munched on a finch, thinking about the vision Dewpaw had described. She saw Duckwing walking over and smiled. “The famed warrior Duckwing, come to eat with me? Oh my Starclan!” she said jokingly. She scooted over to let him lay down beside her.
Duckwing rolled his eyes and grabbed a mouse, flopping down beside her. "Not yet, although that Boneclan warrior isn't likely to forget us soon."
Coppershine’s eyes widened as she thought about their border crossing. “Fox dung. How long do you think it’ll take Eaglestar to find out? Personally, I’d like to keep my fur on my pelt, so hopefully he never does.”
"I'm not sure, but I don't think we'll be in trouble… it's Dewpaw I worry about." Duckwing cast a worried glance at the medicine den. "I wish we could've helped him out sooner. Poor kid's stretching himself far too thin."
Coppershine followed his eyes and nodded in agreement. “No cat should have this much responsibility at his age. But, it seems like he doesn’t want our help. Or anyone else’s for that matter.”
Duckwing nodded, quiet for a few seconds. "Did you see the amount of damage to that clearing?" He asked softly. "You'd have thought there was a bear fight or something."
“I know, right? It’s kinda ridiculous that nobody’s figured it out until now.” Coppershine paused for a beat. “Or maybe they did and can’t do anything to help him stop it.”
"I don't think anyone's found out. Even Tawnyleaf. She wouldn't let him leave camp alone if she knew." Duckwing murmured, his tail flicking.
“Should we tell her?” Coppershine asked thoughtfully. “I don’t want to be a jerk or break his trust, but this is serious.”
"Maybe… maybe we could tip her off so she can make it look like she stumbled upon him or the clearing herself. Then he would still trust us."
“That’s… not a terrible idea! Look at you, using your brain,” she teased, giving him a nudge.
Duckwing rolled his eyes again, nudging her back with a purr. "Maybe you should try using yours~"
“Oh, I do, but it seems like when I’m around you, it’s my heart that takes control~,” she meowed. Coppershine flicked his ear with her tail, grinning.
"Is it, now?" He purred louder, nuzzling her cheek softly.
“Yep! So much so, in fact, that it’s starting to become a bit of a problem. Duckwing, I am going to have to launch a formal complaint with our leader,” she said, resting her head on his side. “You’re too cute.”
"Oh dear, that sounds serious~" Duckwing purred again, curling his tail around her.
“You have no idea,” she said with a dramatic sigh. “I can’t hunt, I can’t sleep. I’m basically useless.”
"Well, maybe I can help you. We do kinda need to go hunting anyways…" Duckwing looked over at the exit.

Tawnyleaf greeted her apprentice as he padded into the medicine den. "Hello, Dewpaw. Did you bring that Marigold?"
Dewpaw nodded, putting it in its proper place. He acted normal, as though he hadn't just basically had a mental breakdown. It was how he'd kept it hidden all this time, but now he had Duckwing and Coppershine to worry about.
“Lovely!” Coppershine chirped. “It’ll make it seem like our obsession with each other isn’t totally consuming our lives.” She hopped to her feet and stretched. “C’mon, slowpoke!”
Duckwing got to his paws as slowly as possible to tease Coppershine. "Oh, I'm hurrying."
