manticore leaped gap after gap, heading towards his favorite place. it was a skyscraper, like the ones they made their homes atop but it was far taller than most. only the handsome tuxedo tom knew where the hidden fire escape was. once he climbed to the top, he was alone and on top of the world. the two-leg city loomed below him, making him feel as though he was above the most powerful of beasts, the humans. as he stepped closer to the edge, the dizzying height hardly effected the captain. he was used to it. his paw pads had grown rough and they instinctively gripped the cement roof to prevent falling. the tom gave a lofty sigh. if only mother were here to see this... he thought.
and yet the dawning sun was peeking over the buildings his clan would be waking up soon and they'd wonder where he was. and so manticore reluctantly padded down the hidden fire escape, hardly noticing the harsh, rusty surface below his paws. he was used to it. soon he had arrived back at the sweetclan camp, breathlessly from his before dawn journey. the sun had now pulled itself free of the darkly silhouetted buildings. his clanmates would be waking any moment now. the yellow-green eyed tom settled down in the corner, gnawing on the remains of a pigeon and waiting for his clanmates to awake.

sandy, whom always hoped she was the first awake, came from another building. the pretty cream she-cat leaped onto their building, and came in through the window. as she jumped down onto the floor, she noticed manticore, awake and munching on pigeon. the she-cat padded over and dipped her head in greeting. she wasn't that hungry, considering she'd eaten before she'd left, so she just sat there and watched her clanmates sleep.

the black and white tom's ears perked up as he heard sandy land on the beside him. "hello," he murmured in his deep voice, still focused on the remains of his feathered meal.

"good morning, manticore." the she-cat said, sighing lightly as she let her gaze sweep over her sleeping clanmates.

Snowyowl awoke and came from yet another building. The pretty she cat leaped nimbly to the camp. "Hello Manticore, Sandy," she said, her gold eyes shining. "Beautiful morning, isn't it?"

the creamy she-cat smiled and nodded. "most certainly is."

manny dipped his head to the soldier, smiling gently. "who's up for a hunting patrol?" the captain asked.

"don't ask it like that, it makes us all sound like kits when we respond." sandy said, tease in her voice. she waited for a moment, judging his response before letting a smile cross her maw.

manticore grinned and laughed. "well are you coming or not?" he asked, still grinning.

"I'll come if you want me," Snowyowl purred.

"yeah, quick! before someone else wakes up to my loud mouth." sandy teased in a whisper, grinning like an idiot. the childish she-cat was already rushing ahead of the group, going out of the fire escape.
