Nori just found you she is expecting and is denying it. She has not told anyone

"What's happening?" Nori asks. "I can't talk to my mate?"

Noah sniffs the airid air. Cactus! He trots off in the direction of the scent. The fragrance reminds him of the she fox he likes. Just a little crush.

He listened while keeping his furious eyes locked on the male grey fox. He decided to let Saki help out Nori who was expecting from the looks of her but Chestnut wasn't going to call her out. He shook his head as his thoughts strayed.

Firestorm dropped his squirrel on the prey pile and looked around camp for the missing foxes. His ears lifted and his eyes brightened. "Candy! Nori! We were wondering where you were!"

"Hi Firestorm. I was just visiting Nightshade, the farmer-trader. Her berries are delicious. Is the eagle still out?" Nori asks. She turns to Candy "Where were you?"

Though Nori denied that anything was wrong Candy still felt anxious, his anxiety only worsening when he suddenly felt like he was being glared at, the fur on the back of his neck stood on end and his ears went straight back and down as his head lifted up only to see the fox who's eyes he felt was chestnut and he did not seem happy at all. His worries now more about why chestnut was mad at him And not so much on his sick mate.

Luckily he didn't have that much time to dwell on whether chestnut was one of the skulk mates he'd smelt earlier because Saki came bounding up to them and asking if Nori was ok. Unfortunately she'd run away before he could say anything and yet more anxiety courses through him, did she know to? Maybe she'd gone to tell the leaders? Again Candy was pulled from his anxious thoughts by yet another fox trotting up to him, luckily firestorm didn't seem to upset with him so maybe he didn't realize where he'd been?

Candy tried to relax his posture so he didn't look quite so anxious and guilty as he gave firestorm a nervous greeting "Firestorm! Sorry if we worried you, I had wanted to get Nori some breakfast before she woke up but as you can probably tell I wasn't all that successful, I guess I should have learned by now I'm not meant to hunt... Haha... Oh but even though I was late I did manage to catch a few mice, it's not much but it's something, I've already put them in the prey pile, I tried for a couple squirrels but they're a lot harder to catch then mice." He was hoping his excuse was enough, hopefully nobody had seen him leaving the camp at near midnight, he'd been careful when sneaking out even though he'd forgotten to cover his trail.

"Oh really?" So you won't mind me talking to Crimson or Arrow about a certain trail and ice?", asked Chestnut coolly with a glint in his eyes to Candy before turning around and started heading to his den.

He had already done two hunts so he was feeling tired but he figured that he would let Firestorm explain to Candy. His eyes remained on the grey fox even as he curled up.

"Oh! Hi Arrow.. Nothings really wrong, I just misjudged my intuition is all, and ended assuming something I shouldn't have and bothered Nori and Candy.." Saki sits and looks at the ground, digging in the dirt out of embarrassment. Maybe her intuition really was wrong.. "I wanted to go hunting, do you want to come with?" Saki noticed the rabbit still hanging in her senior's jaws. Her mouth watered a bit before shaking it off.
