( Alright! ^u^ )
Finchwing glanced over towards Breezefeather as he passed her. "Not that I can see, probably just general uneasiness." He commented quietly, trying to see ahead to were Batstar led with the delegates.
- - -
Softear headed on, her ears and eyes alert for any sounds. As she passed cats, she gave them reassuring smiles and looks, and finally slowed her walk as she neared Vipermist, staring ahead of the solemnly. "So weird, so many cats traveling at once." She commented, flicking her tail and looking back at the cats shed' passed. "What'll those twolegs think? I don't think they see this everyday!"
- - -
Meanwhile, the group was heading straight towards another group of cats heading towards them. Wolfeyes and Batstar caught the scent first, but almost shrugged it off, assuming it was just more recent TimberClan visitors from an earlier patrol.

"The front sounds dangerous..." Nettlekit muttered in reply, the sad little tom uneasy as ever.
"Be brave, brother! We laugh in the face of danger!" Ivykit squeaked. "Besides, I'll be leader one day."
"It's best that your in the center, we are well protected here." Tallsteps interjected gently. "Besides, you get to be close and among all those you love and who love you. I think it's very cozy."
"How can it be cozy, my paws already hurt." Nettlekit added quietly, tail drooping.
- - -
( Is Foxgaze towards the edge of the group or more towards the center? )
Wolfeyes stopped, fur on edge, as the scent grew a bit stronger, although it was masked slightly at times by the stronger scent of pine needles. Batstar gave her a concerned look, but with a nod, urged her to walk on. He knew others were beginning to scent the nearing TimberClan cats, as he was sure that that was it now, but he didn't want either to appear too startled, scared or angered, so he walked on boldly, with Wolfeyes trailing after him, ears flat on her head and tail lashing from side to side.

Lilactail glanced at them, but didn't speak.
"I'd like to teach TimberClan a thing or two, for one." Icepetal replied with a gleam in her eyes, buts he shrugged. "But we can't have our wishes just like that, and I'm... I'm comforted that StarClan is still out there, for us, and found a new territory for us to live in." Despite saying there there was still an edge to her raspy voice, but seeing Lilactail shaking her head slightly, as if frightened the elder would actually try and attack TimberClan, she seemed to soften again, consigned to her fate and their defeat.
- - -
Nettlekit flinched, darting to walk under his mother, and glancing around them cautiously. The tom questioned how his siblings and denmates could be so cheerful at such a time. He shivered with the cold and remained quiet, however.
Kestrelkit watched her nervous brother with an almost motherly concern in her eyes, but knowing Greykit meant no harm, she smiled back at her, and nodded energetically, feathers in her jaws preventing her speech.
"If we were up in the front we could see everything better." Ivykit muttered, a bit sourly, but her step remained light, and merry. She stuck her tongue at Quailkit. "You just wait and see! You can be deputy though, or heir, or both, I don't mind."

Ravenfeather trailed behind Foxgaze, remaining towards the edge, wanting to have a good look at their old home. He nearly crashed into Foxgaze as he looked towards the side, as he was walking just behind him. "Sorry!" He said, a touch loudly in his surprise as he moved aside to walk alongside Foxgaze as opposed to behind him, so he could walk with ease and faster. "... You scent it too?" He questioned, catching the stronger traces of TimberClan cats heading towards them.

RP: "Timberclan?" Tigerheart said moving closer to to Ravenfeather and Foxgaze, still tired but now more awake then before, just the thought of the enemy clan had both him and Bramblepaw perking up and becoming more vigilant.
Breezefeather tilted her head slightly, "Maybe... Ive got a bad feeling though..."

Ravenfeather nodded. "Yeah... Would they be hunting at this time, this far into the territory?"
- - -
Finchwing nodded, understanding her reasoning; he himself felt uneasy.
- - -
Wolfeyes let out a hiss as the source of the commotion- a rather small, but still large enough, patrol of TimberClan cats- reached them, the group looking harried, and most, if not all, panting heavily. A smell of blood accompanied them, which both leader and delegate thought, at first was prey blood; but it wasn't. For among the group were two of the medicine cats, Fallowfur and Stagpaw. Fallowfur's pelt had fresh wounds, and she looked ruffled and shaken, but not badly hurt, while Stagpaw had a scar across his face, forcing him to squint in his pain. The group was heading for them fast, but steadily slowed down to a walk, looking equally, if no more, frightened than the large band of PineClan cats.

Swanfeather smelled the blood and stepped forwards to see what was going on. She beckoned her tail at someone she noticed carrying her bundle filled with cobwebs to follow as she stepped up beside the delegate and leader

Wolfeyes, noticing Swanfeather seeking out herbs and coming up besides them, let out another hiss, and blocked her. "Swanfeather they're TimberClan." She said in a low growl.
Batstar was distracted and did not reproach his delegate, instead stepping forward, prepared to chase these cats off if they caused trouble. Seeing Fallowfur and Stagpaw injured, however, unnerved him, as they had been among the few cats of TimberClan to lend them aid- with Fallowfur and Stagpaw and a kittypet friend supplying them with catmint during the sickness, and Fallowfur convincing and taming Sunstar's temper and allowing them to journey so Batstar could get his nine lives. However, the presence of two other cats with them- Petalwhisker and Crimsonbird- was also equally unnerving.

RP:Bramblepaw moved past Tigerheart and ran up to the front with Tigerheart calling out to him. Bramble paw nudged to stand beside them, looking at the Timberclan cats, and he was shocked to see them bleeding. "What happened?" He asked confused.

"Yes," Swanfeather whispered to Wolfeyes, "but they're hurt and these two have helped us in times of need. My job is to heal but no one ever said who." her voice was stern and detirmined as she whispered

Ravenfeather walked alongside them, his tail waving fitfully as his eyes widened, focused on the the TimberClan cats. "There's only four of them, what are they doing here?" He remarked to the others besides him.
- - -
Wolfeyes glared down the she-cat, but, noticing Thrushwing looking over at her with a look of disapproval, backed off, her fur on end as she spat. "Go help the fleapelts then, if you must."
Batstar stopped just in front of Crimsonbird, the two tom's fluffy pelts on edge as they stared coolly at each other, Batstar questioning quickly. "Did Sunstar send you, why are you here so late? We're leaving as agreed, don't start-"
Crimsonbird had caught his breath now, and casting an uneasy glance at Petalwhisker, he said quickly. "We're not here on Sunstar's orders to see you." He began, with a hurried, but still reluctant dip of his head to the rival clan's leader. "But to speak to you of our own accord. If you have any respect for Fallowfur for her help before, you'll hear me out!"

(hey guys! c:)
Fadedstep's fur began to bristle on the back of his neck as he sniffed the air. His eyes narrowed as he made out the shapes of the Timberclan cats, his claws unsheathed if it came down to fight. Upon seeing the medicine cats, however, he slightly relaxed. Why would they bring two of their medicine cats if they're looking for a fight?
Stormfeather stood a bit behind the black tom, her ears flattened against her head. Her distrust for Timberclan made her wary, but she couldn't ignore the blood on two of the cats. Surely this patrol wouldn't be looking for a fight, she thought to herself. If they had, why would they bring along injured cats?

Swanfeather stepped forwards. "Can I heal them?" she asked Batstar quietly.

( Hi Stormy! ) Wrencall had slipped away from her sister's side to get a closer view of the TimberClan cats, standing quietly near Fadedstep as she muttered a surprised, "Oh!" To herself, uncertain what to make of the little party gathered ahead of them. - - - Batstar nodded to Swanfeather, although he was still looking at the ginger tom before him. Crimsonbird's gaze faltered, however, as he glared with suspicion at the cat who offered to help, his pride stung by needing to seek their help. Hoewever he didn't protest, after all, that was what they came for; help. Besides this he didn't want his elder sister and nephew to get their wounds infected. These thoughts running through his mind quickly he turned back to Batstar. "Will you listen?" "I am listening." The fluffy leader replied, with some annoyance clear in his voice. "Speak!"

"Fallowfur, I'll get you first," Swanfeather said, staying quiet so the conversation wouldn't be disturbed. "Oh, who has my marigold?!" she called to the crowd

Fadedstep's attention turned to Wrencall, and he nodded his head in the direction of the rogues. "What do you make of this?" He asked the she-cat, the tom still on alert. "For all we know this could be some kind of trap." He muttered his last sentence so that only Wrencall could hear.
Stormfeather frowned as she watched Batstar and Crimsonbird. She watched the Timberclan cat with curiosity, her head tilted ever so slightly. It was odd, to see the despised clan in front of her. They need help. She thought, surprised that Timberclan would ever turn to them. Unlike Fadedstep, the she-cat couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for the cats. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Swanfeather's voice. Looking at what herbs Fadedstep had split with her, she spotted marigold. "Here you go, Swanfeather!"

"Oh, uh, I don't quite know what to think." Wrencall replied quietly, eyes filled with concern. "I'd like to think it's not a trap, but with TimberClan..." She added, her voice steadily lowering. "Still, though, Fallowfur and Stagpaw are there, they've helped us before... You think they got in trouble at long last? That doesn't explain the other two though..."
- - -
Nightpaw practically fell out of the crowd, jaws filled with the marigold he'd gathered from the old medicine den earlier while the collectors worked to help Swanfeather. "I have it!" He offered eagerly, his fur on end as he neared the group, but his tone muffled by the herbs. He was relieved to place them down, feeling overwhelmed with their scent and taste.
Meanwhile Fallowfur looked on, her eyes almost blankly staring forward in shock. It was clear her mind was disturbed, and the usually collected medicine cat looked stunned.
Crimsonbird continued. "Look... see... Sunstar, TimberClan, we have more healers and cats than you, especially with the influx of loner help and allies we have. This is all very good, but Sunstar, perhaps, has lost some of his... his initial loyalty..." He said this in an angry tone that surprised Batstar, as he'd viewed Crimsonbird and Petalwhisker as very loyal to Sunstar. "And perhaps some respect for life as well. He's not all evil despite what PineClan likely thinks, but, around the time greencough was spreading throughout the territory, he... he hoped you'd catch it, and, your clan being with few herbs as he well knew, that many would die without any injury to TimberClan cats."
Batstar wasn't surprised, and expressed with clearly with his face.
"... You probably knew that, but regardless, Fallowfur helping you was not at Sunstar's orders, nor some of the others things her, Stagpaw and Maisie have done!" Crimsonbird continued quickly, sounding nervous.

RP:Bramblepaw felt night paw push past and rolled his eyes but kept quiet, then suddenly he felt a looming presence behind him and he immediately shrunk down. Only two cats could scare him and that was Batstar and Tigerheart. "You were told either hold herbs in the center or stay beside me...." Tigerheart growled using his head to push the apprentice away from the others.

"That's true," he murmured. He hadn't thought about why Fallowfur and Stagpaw were there. "They probably wouldn't be on this patrol if it were a setup." Fadedstep replied, but keeping an icy glare on Crimsonbird. "It seems Sunstar's losing the trust of his little followers," he whispered cooly to Wrencall, adding, "It looks as thought they're in need of something."
