Two pelts wove through the lush undergrowth surrounding VerdantClan's camp, one a wiry tabby and the other a softer gray-and-white. The tabby bounded confidently across the first part of a brook, splattering her own chest and haunches with the sprayed droplets, then waded through the deeper half. She stared impatiently back at her companion, who in turn fixed her with determined but nervous eyes. "I'm coming, Leela," the gray-and-white tom muttered, dropping a forepaw gingerly into the water as if to measure its temperature. Leela snorted.
"Mouse, you're the one who asked me--"
Mouse interrupted her by skidding across the pebbly brook, then dropping--head included--into the deeper part. Leela sighed, curling her paws beneath her as she waited impassively on the far bank. She was aware that from an outsider's point of view, it might look like she was leaving the poor kid to drown. But alas, she knew he had some major toughening up to do and some independence to achieve if he was to truly leave his privileged life behind. The brook wasn't really that deep at all, was it? "I'm getting too old for this," she muttered to herself, examining a wicked-looking claw. "One more blasted favor and it'll be the death of me."

When I started reading the books I was in middle school - I don’t wanna do the math since I’m about to graduate college lol I haven’t kept up with the books much anymore simply because when I moved in middle school I forgot what book I’d been reading and I was in the middle of a series lol I have been thinking about just fully starting again though
Okay cool - I was thinking a Savannah cat of some sort cause they’re my current favorite breed so big Yeet!

It had been one or two moons since he'd abandoned his two-legs. They had always been very lenient with letting him go outside as they seemed to understand how much he loved it. One day he just... Didn't come back, and as far as he knew, they never came looking for him, which was odd considering how much they had seemed to value him. Still, he was very much fine with this. Kuta was a first-generation savannah cat... Whatever that meant. He resembled his wild-cat counterpart rather closely, though was slightly smaller than they. Still, the feline was all long-legs and tall ear sat atop a triangular head.
He'd set out to find some food quite some time ago, however was quickly distracted coming from... Somewhere close. As much as he hated to admit it, he didn't frequent this area often. Too many other cats in the area for his liking. Not that he was unfriendly, but rather did not enjoy the idea of being outnumbered in case of some sort of an attack. Despite this, he found himself to be rather curious.
By the time he set eyes on the scene, it seemed one had fallen into the water and the other was sort of watching it happen as she spoke of favors. For a brief moment, he attempted to consider what was actually happening and if he should help. Attempt was the key word, however, as he found himself moving without much thought. It wasn't long until the spotted feline found himself in the water, fishing out a sopping gray cat by the scruff. While he carried him to the bank, he dropped the other unceremoniously without so much as a word. Sure, he liked the water and simply adored swimming, but he wasn't fond of retrieving those who didn't have the skill.

The last thing Mouse remembered was water surrounding him and rushing into his nose. He screwed his eyes tight and thrashed about--how was he supposed to know how to swim?! He’d only left his housefolk yesterday--and as an indoor kittypet, the largest body of water he’d seen was in their bathing contraption.
Silently he cursed Leela for going ahead of him. Did she not understand how cruel it would be to leave him to die--here--now? On his first day out? Under her watch?
Across the bank, Leela’s whiskers twitched as she crossed a paw. “Don’t be so dramatic,” she muttered under her breath, almost as if she knew the hysterics of his thoughts. “Just paddle, flea-brain.” He had to learn sooner or later, and experience was the best teacher. She decided she’d interfere in a few seconds, if she absolutely had to.
The next heartbeat, Mouse felt jaws closing around his scruff and breathed--sputtered--a breath of relief. He felt and saw the world, the cold air, around him and celebrated by hacking up some water as he was dropped rather roughly to the ground. “Leela, you don’t have to be so cruel!” he snapped, flopping dramatically to the ground as a response. “And it took you”--he hacked once more for good measure--”like, ten moons to finally rescue me.” He swung around, and--
Oh. My. StarClan. Mouse was not facing Leela, but rather the largest, strangest, perhaps handsomest, being he had ever laid eyes on. He took a hurried step back, mouth gaping, immediately trying to locate Leela--his only safety, if she even cared about him (still debating that). He found her tail-lengths away, sitting primly, but with an expression that echoed his.
“Wh--wha--wha?!” Mouse managed to screech, gaze flicking back and forth from the wild-looking cat to Leela. He wasn’t sure whether to be more angry that Leela had never saved him or astonished that this cat had touched him--rescued him--existed. Was that what warriors looked like?! This cat must be a warrior. If so, Mouse could put his dream in the ground--he looked like a dwarf in comparison, and he had similar expectations for his fighting skills. “W-warrior?!” he found himself stuttering in an almost accusatory, definitely frightened, voice. Okay, this was not the first meeting he'd imagined with the wild cats he'd dreamt of joining.

I fully default to the way I talk, especially for Kuta. Which is a mild-to-extreme jersey accent based on how upset he is and constantly dropping sounds lol

Who was Leela?
He watched in silence as the small feline collected himself and immediately began to curse him - well no, Leela - for not getting him sooner. How much danger had he really been in? Perhaps this was some sort of swimming lesson... did not all cats know how to swim? On top of it, most didn’t just start complaining immediately, not if they’d taken in any water. So, he now knew two things - the small cat would’ve been fine, and he was a bit on the dramatic side. Without knowing, he decided the feline resting by the bank was Leela. After all, she was the only other one here...
As the freshly soaking cat began to stammer, Kuta finally sat down, lifting a paw to lick the remaining water from it. Had he been in the water longer, he wouldn’t quite mind the wet fur, but it’d only been seconds.
’Warrior?’
Lifting his eyes, he tipped his head slightly, left ear flicking. “What’s a warrior?” He hadn’t had any encounters with the large group of cats that clearly inhabited the area judging by their scent, and he hadn’t heard of them either. All he knew was that they were here and greatly outnumbered him. Maybe it was the title they carried? Though, he wasn’t sure he cared. With a slight shake of his head, he dropped his paw once more and leaned down just slightly to get a better look at the gray cat before him. “Why don’t you know how to swim? You tryin’ to drown or somethin’?”

For a moment, Leela stared at Kuta in a similar state of astonishment as that of Mouse, but she quickly gave herself a shake and wove her way to Mouse’s side. “That cat doesn’t look like any warrior I’ve seen,” she remarked, curious at the large tomcat’s blasé demeanor.
She was silent for a moment, debating if his question was for real: how could he not know of the cats who ruled their territory--this part, almost--with almost unreasonable ferocity? Even kittypets circulated their legendary encounters. “You’re not from around here,” she guessed, narrowing her eyes.
Mouse licked his chest fur self-consciously, aware that he was making a dripping puddle with his soaked pelt. “Come on, I’ve never even seen water as huge as this!” he protested, then realized how sheltered his life with his housefolk had been--how ridiculous he sounded. He decided to change the subject--to answer Kuta’s warrior question. “They have a code,” he explained, his usual bouncing excitement resurfacing. “So they're noble, but terrifying! Their claws are huge like hawk talons, and I heard a warrior kit wrestled a dog to the ground single-pawed.” Leela was unable to hold in her cackle. "But they use all that scariness to protect each other, like a family." He glanced at Leela, looking offended. "I've been thinking about it, about them, for a long time. Leela's bringing me there."
"No guarantee they won't claw his fur off, though," Leela muttered under her breath. "Being as the cat can't swim and all."
"I can't believe you're not a warrior," Mouse meowed to Kuta, amazement still evident in his voice. "You're... you're..."

OH DAMN!!! Nah dude I fully get it, it's all good lol my finals just finished last week and they were rough ----
As the she-cat commented on him, Kuta only glanced at her. His question, one that he no longer really cared for the answer, was currently met with no response. As such, he was still unaware and uncaring as to what a warrior was, though part of him was a bit happy that he wasn't one. The recognition the two seemed to have for them unsettled him just slightly as he'd become rather accustomed to being on his own. Being recognized for simply living an area wasn't something he wanted to take part in. "I'm not fond of staying in an area clearly inhabited by others," he replied. He wasn't stupid, he knew they were here.
When the smaller feline spoke up once more, he couldn't help but huff. "Your people never took you swimming? That's ridiculous," he muttered, though found himself listening anyway. So... These cats lived by a code? And were somehow terrifying? He couldn't really see that. He'd seen a few other cats in passing before, and they had seemed rather average. Still, it seemed they had to be amazing in some aspect if he was this excited about meeting them. Yet... "I doubt it took down a dog. Kits are helpless." He'd seen a few dogs, and they were nothing to mess with. The smaller ones were, well, small and easy to deal with. The larger ones would eat a kit as a snack.
The tom-cat couldn't help the sigh that left him at the thought. It almost sounded like a hassle to be a warrior. Still, part of him doubted they would claw the small one's fur off upon meeting him... That was assuming his code was one of morals. As the gray cat continued, he flicked his ears. "Tall, large, and the like. Yes, I know. If they're as 'terrifying' as you say, I don't see the point in going." He paused, looking between the two cats. "When I left my people I already knew how to take care of myself - can you even hunt?"
Another pause. He was curious about them... How scary could they be? "I want to meet them - I doubt they're as you say. So, I'm going with you." There wasn't any question about it as his tone was final, and part of him was confident that neither cat could stop him from tagging along.
