Leafpaw was having a hard time figuring out the proper way of interacting with the tomcat who was the object of her first crush: Ashpelt. She'd never had any sort of romantic feelings towards anyone before, but she'd been raised on romantic stories (and scary eagle stories) from her parents and she was desperate to find some sort of love herself. She didn't want to wait until she was a warrior, that was going to be moons from now! She wanted to entwine her tail around someone else's and fall asleep next to them purring. She wanted to go hunting with them and come back to camp and share prey - which is what inspired her idea to sit by the fresh kill pile all evening. She'd completed her training and once she was let out, she hurried to the fresh kill pile, deposited the vole she'd caught on top of the pile and waited, sitting beside it and waiting for Ashpelt to show up.
She had it planned perfectly in her mind: he would be the first one to approach her and she would offer him the vole that she caught and he would offer to share it with her - because he was a noble and proper cat. He wouldn't comment about the fact that it was a messy catch and how the vole looked a little more flat than the typical caught prey for the same reason. He would instead commend her for her hard work and tell her she would become a fine warrior. Maybe he'd put in a good word to Tigersun so that their leader could make her a warrior sooner than all of her siblings.
I'm going to have to be presentable, when Ashpelt comes by. She thought and started to groom her pelt. She wanted it to glimmer and glow when he came by. It didn't even cross her mind that Ashpelt may have already eaten for the night, or that someone else might come by and try to take her vole for themselves instead. @kovak
