ratstep blinked, her paw batting at the water casually, watching her reflection in the river break further when her paw met it. truth be told, she had intended to go fishing, but had instead found herself fascinated with the distorted reflection in the water. she definitely had no intent of swimming in it, however. though it wasn't snowing, the air was already cold and the chill in the water would be unpleasant, even though her coat would have protected her somewhat. but she was grateful for the fact that the river wasn't solid; eventually, it would freeze over and they'd be harder pressed to find food. despite her often lax demeanor, the upcoming leaf-bare worried her as much as any of her clanmates. it was easier to act unconcerned, though. she just hoped that none of her clanmates would appear to rebuke her for being lazy, a description that she strongly disagreed with. she might have not been as dedicated to her duties as some of her fellow peers, but what was the point? they were obviously out to impress someone. she didn't have those ambitions, so she did what she was supposed to do and called it quits after that. it didn't make her careless, it just made her undedicated -- nothing wrong with that. she did her job, and sure, they could ask for more effort all they wanted, but she didn't feel obligated in the slightest.
eventually, a stirring noise caused her to look up, retracting her paw from the water and rubbing it onto the ground below, watching the newcomer with curiosity, head tilted.
