acaciapaw - duneclan - cursed - application Acaciapaw was counting the yawns she had performed since the sun went down, and was so high now that she had lost count. She hoped it would keep her from falling asleep on her feet, but alas, it really didn't give her much to look forward to. She kept glancing concerned glances over at her friend, who was being helped along by one of the bigger and healthier Cursed. It was one upside to them being as slender as a spider, they weighed just as much as their skin and bones and not much more. They had been pulled along on a palm leaf when they were too tired to move, but the leaf was almost as heavy as the cat was and hard to pull even by the strongest Cursed. She was in no way able to help, as she could barely keep herself moving on the journey much less another cat. She was used to being able to take small breaks and breathers while she was hunting, but the clan had been moving nonstop since at least midday. And if the Cursed lost the clan, it would be hard to find them again. Even at this pace, they were trailing behind. She let out another jaw splitting yawn just as her father limped over to her. Well, this wasn't her blood father but she would affectionately call him dad. He was much more of a parent to her than her "real" dad was, anyways. "How are you holding up, Caci?" He asked, concern shining in his dull eyes. The calico's gaze flicked down to the tom's injury, and she offered him a smile. "Better than you are, da." She mewed, summing up enough concentration to lift her head so she could touch her nose to his cheek. He had made the journey countless times, and knew how to handle his limp. This was the first one that Acaciapaw could remember. The last time they travelled she had been a very young kitten, and she didn't recall much. He gave her a watery smile and they padded together in comfortable silence for a few more minutes before he was called over by another Cursed cat. He meowed a soft goodbye to her and she returned it, her eyes following him as he hobbled over to join their companion. I wish I had someone to walk with...
