that tree came outta nowhere

The long and the short of it was that Renegade was in a life and death battle with a shrub. He knew the young eastern cedar sapling was no real use to their herb supply, it was just taking up room where a garden needed to be put in. He tried to pull it out at first, but the branches and the not quite needles were sharp. This was not a plant that would go easy into the dark night. The young prince lifted his lips to snarl at the unwanted baby tree, the gears in his mind working out exactly how he might be rid of the nuisance.

Renegade leaned back onto his haunches as he looked the shrub over once more. If he went at it with his mouth again he’d just cut up his lips and gums. He could theoretically dig it out, but then mom would be upset about all the dirt underneath his cat like claws. He was good at cleaning himself but not that good. With a frustrated ‘ugh’ he flopped down in front of the bush. He wasn’t defeated yet, but he was at his wits end.
