"What if the furless caught them? Are you sure they are in their same destination? I would say that they trekked away. They took your disappearance as a sign of capture." He replied, and flicked his tail. "If they are still there, or getting ready to leave, I will help you with the trip back." He said, and looked at Sheep warmly. "Just don't expect them to be there, okay? Because if they're not, don't grieve. They left because they had no choice." He added, and tipped his head to the sky. As he looked at the blue sky, his eyes glimmered with wistfulness.

Daisy watched as the cats talked, her eyes glittering and her ears taking in every word. Tribes? Clans? Border patrols? Daisy might not know what any of that was but it all sounded fascinating none the less! Daisy's whiskers twitched at the mention of littermates. She quickly licked her paw and drew it over her ear as she tried to maintain a calm composure. The truth was Daisy didn't know if she had littermates or not. She was separated from her family at such a young age she barely remembered anything about them. She couldn't even remember their faces let alone how many of them there were. Daisy learned early in life not to let her unfortunate kithood get to her, but she would always catch herself wondering about her family on the lazier days... Daisy shifted her paws, her line of thinking starting to make her feel uncomfortable. In an attempt to put the conversation back on the interesting track, Daisy meowed "So Raven, you said you were a clan cat? What's a... clan? Never heard of them before."
Daisy turned to Sheep and Conan as the former made his upsetting display. Sympathy flashed in her gaze and she meowed softly "I'm sorry Sheep, that sounds awful."

Sheep looked towards Conan with a greatful look on his face."The Flock's home was over run by twopaws or,furless as you refer to them,so we decided to go to the watse lands.They leave a special scent for the lost ones to follow."He suddenly realized how the did that."So that's what these things are for."He said stretching his neck out to reveal a small scent gland."Passed on from the first cats of The Flock."He said with admiration.

"But what about other cats? Would they follow the scent? Or, does the smell stink, made unattractive so no cat will follow the scent?" Conan clustered Sheep with questions. Then he realized that he was probably making Sheep uncomfortable. "Sorry," He told Sheep. "I was curious. I won't bother you with questions anymore.". He felt calm, and was liking these cats. "We should stay a little while." He said. "But, I was planning on moving away, into unknown territory. I will be leaving tomorrow, at sunhigh. I'll be gone. Departed. In search of more cats, that will allow me to stay with them, and I will be content and happy.".

Sheep thought he should go ahead and answer the question about the scent."It smells very nice.It's that anyone who wants to join it can."He explained.He usually didn't listen to questions but felt he'd done too much to not answer a few.And besides,what harm could it do.Suddenly,an idea struck him."Conan,and any other cat,you could come and live in The Flock.You'd be welcomed,fed,protected,and you'd have friends."

"I shall think about it, but if I do, I would have to cancel the journey that I planned out for many moons," He responded, deep in thought. He seemed tense, torn between two worlds. "I don't know. Maybe I should go on the trip. Hey, that gives me an idea! How about you all come with me, on my trip? Six cats are better than one!" He exclaimed happily. "We could all go. Sheep, you should go too, you know. Discover new things! I would understand if you don't want to come. I am traveling to the sea, where there is the sand, great to train on, and lots of dunes, for all of us to live in! Lots of prey, too. No predators that I know of! And, it's not far." He said, and looked around excitedly, hoping for someone to join him.

"I guess I could go with you.After all,I don't know how to make it back to where The Flock went."Sheep repied.He was starting to think about forgetting The Flock.After all,they had probably forgotten about him."They'll probably get along without me just fine."

Conan is from Castle Cats, which is why his role-play profile says he is a knight.)Conan grinned with genuine joy. "Great! This journey will be better, now that I won't be alone," He said. "Anyone else want to come? It will be fun and worth it!" He said happily and his ear twitched with joy.

Raven was trying to take in everything that all of the cats were discussing, all of their families, traditions, groups of cats that they came from - it was overwhelming. She hadn't realized that there had been so many cats out there. To her, it had always just been the clans and then she had heard rumors of tribes, but she had never actually come face to face with any. Now, she was coming face to face with cats who were from other groups that she hadn't even heard of at all. Was it all actually true? Everything they were saying? Part of her was intrigued, and she wanted to hear more just to see what it was like. She felt like her little time in the clan and her life as a loner held nothing in comparison. When the cat, Conan, asked if anyone else was willing to join him on their journey, Raven hesitated. The choice should have been easy, she shouldn't have even had a second thought. But yet, here she was wondering if maybe she should leave her life and take this journey. She could always back out. Just travel with them for a bit and leave if she decided she no longer wanted to be with them. She was leaving on a journey herself the next day anyway. It couldn't hurt. Could it? She looked over at the tom cat and stood. "I'll go." She said quietly.

Daisy eyed Conan as he went on about his journey to the sea. Every word he said filled Daisy's head with excitement. Lots of prey? No dangers from predators? Sand?! This new home sounded almost too good to be true, and Daisy was sold. "I'll go!" Daisy happily chirped, standing to her paws. She glanced at Sheep and Raven as they joined in as well, her eyes glittering with joy.

"Great! We won't go immediately, so you can all get a good night's rest," He said. "We should all prepare for this journey. We could all meet each other here, or stay the night together, somewhere." He was happy to know that some of the cats will go with him. "Oh, and everyone will have a chance to go, too. If we meet here, you can all come, to meet us!" He exclaimed. "It will be fun with company," He said.

Daisy's long black tail swished through the air. "That sounds great!" she exclaimed. The young black and white she-cat glanced between her new companions and asked "Anyone know where we could rest for the night? I'm not really familiar with this area." Daisy knew she should probably get some rest before they took off on their journey, but all this excitement has her heart pounding. It'll probably take all night for her to get some sleep without thinking about how fun this new adventure was going to be for her!

Raven looked at the group hesitantly. She knew a place they could stay, in fact it had been where she had been spending the night for the past few days, but did she really want to share? She hadn't slept alongside others in such a long time and wondered if this was really the best idea. However, she shook the thought from her head. If she was going to be going with them, she had better get used to this. And besides, who ever said she had to be sleeping 'close' to any of them? Just sharing space. And she was planning on leaving the place anyway so it wasn't like she really needed to keep it secret anymore. "I know a place," She meowed hesitantly. "It's big enough for us all and safe too." She meowed.

Sheep was looking down at the ground,lost in thought.'What if the entrance was blocked?What if someone or something comes and takes it.'Those were reasons he preferred to sleep outside in the open.He decided to voice his thought"Is it in the open?"

She tilted her head at his question. "Well, not exactly," She meowed. "It's kinda tucked back, hidden so passerbys can't see it." She said. "When I found it, it scented like another cat has been staying there. Big hollowed out bushes." She continued. "But, you could easily get out if that is what you are worried about. I've been staying there the past few days and haven't had a problem."

Daisy meowed "Sounds like the perfect place." The black and white she-cat glanced up at the sky. The sky was as blue as ever but in no time the sun would start sinking below the horizon. "We should probably settle down then before it gets dark." she meowed.

Conan felt good to have some new friends go with him on the journey. "That sounds great, Raven! We shall use it, under your permission." He said to Raven, and nodded. "It sounds safe. It sure sounds warm and comfortable, too!" He added, and twitched his ears.

Raven nodded. She only just borrowing it so it didn't matter much anyways. She glanced up at the setting sun. "Let's head off. It's not too far down the river." She meowed flicking her tail. She looked hesitantly at the others but didn't wait for them to follow as she bounded off. She was still wondering if this was even a good idea.

Conan stood up and followed with anticipation. He was so ever happy, and it was getting too old. He knew he had to get serious if he was most likely going to lead them to the ocean. "This is a good idea. It will be great," He murmured to himself.

A lonesome kit lay under the tree mewling for food, mostly milk. Her tiny body getting tiny as wait for someone to give her food, she hasn't ate for a day and a half.

Raven led the way and not long after, she slowed, nearing the enterence to the den. She looked back at the others. "Here we are," She meowed. "I would have gathered some prey earlier for us all, but I had been planing on leaving tonight," She confessed. Whenever she left the den, she always had a habit of hunting and then hiding her prey away some it was there when she came back and she had something to eat, even if she was too tired to hunt. She had never had any problems with it either. "Anyone up for any hunting?" She asked.
However, as Raven spoke, she paused, hearing small meowing from one of the bushes. "Did you hear that?" She asked tilting her head. She tried to listen again moving in the direction of the presume meow.

Daisy followed Raven as she began to head off toward her resting grounds. With every step Daisy's head was swimming with more and more excitement. Not only was she promised a perfect home by the ocean, but there were so many cats coming with her on the journey! Finally I'm not going to be alone anymore. She gleefully thought to herself. As the group padded up to Raven's den Daisy swept her gaze over the area. With a content blink she mewed to herself "Seems safe enough." She looked to Raven and listened as she spoke. "Sure I'm up for it." she meowed.
She was just about start heading off when Raven detected a noise. Daisy strained her ears. "Hear what?" She replied, her tail tip flicking back and forth from anticipation.

Sheep hadn't said much but he heard everything,including the mewling of a kit."I heard a kit."He said quietly,looking around to try and pinpoint where the kit was.

Raven nodded in response to Sheep. "That's what I thought I heard as well," She meowed. She glanced from Sheep to Daisy to Conan. What was a kit doing out here, all alone, she presumed as she hadn't scented any other cats. Kits were hard sometimes, but she was sure that she would have at least scented the mother, or father.

(Haha you are totally fine lol)
"It might have been..." Raven trailed. "Either that or..." She shook her head, remembering her own kit-hood. She hadn't been abandoned, instead. lost in the chaos which ensued when her clan disbanded. She had been lost, separated from her littermates and parents. Somehow, she had miraculously survived on her own through instinct. She couldn't imagine another kit having to go through the same.

Daisy frowned. Her gaze scanned around the area in search of the mewling kit but she had no idea where the sounds were coming from. Worry clouded her eyes as she turned back to the group. "We have to go look for it." she meowed. The thought of a tiny kit left to fend for itself in the forest sent a chill up Daisy's spine.

( hopestorm ) Raven nodded to the pair. She more than knew they had to find it. It couldn't be left on its own. "We should," She meowed. Although worry flooded her pelt, not only for the kit, but also the fact that they would be leaving in the morning on a journey and now a kit, if there was one, would be thrown into the mix. What would they do then? She pushed the thought from her mind and scented the air, waiting for the kit to meow once more.
