NOTES: yay for super quickly put together table ^^
Late new-leaf, reflected Tawnystar, was the greatest time of year. There was little greencough or illness; spirits were high; the river ran unbounded and wild; and prey was plenty. Fish attracted to the warm surface of the water drifted lazily right into cats' claws. Really, new-leaf and greenleaf were the times when RiverClan was strongest. They had something no other Clan had - a river, and a way to cool down. While other Clans scrambled for water-soaked moss and hid their draining resources from the scorching sun, RiverClan was at home, free to splash and play in the river and always with a source of water. It was a beautiful arrangement.
Tawnystar, having caught a good amount of fish, slid into the water, holding her breath slightly as her body plunged into the slightly colder temperatures. Once the initial shock of the water subsided, she slinked the rest of the way in, tail held high above the water. There was no cover from the sun today; the clouds were nonexistent and the sunlight dappled the ripples and waves of the river. Today, it was calm due to the lack of any breeze whatsoever. In addition, much of the snow from the winter had already melted, and it hadn't rained in a couple weeks (another problem that RiverClan didn't have to deal with). The river was low, low enough to be calm and peaceful but not worrying. The best kind, especially since the sandy she-cat usually had to worry about rowdy apprentices who didn't know how to swim trying to have a dip in the water. In fact, she could hear them slightly downstream, but the curve of the river hid them from sight. But, no matter - she didn't have to worry about them today or right now. Sinking into the river up to her ears, she rested.
