As Saf returned after the swift hunt for a mouse Lester started carrying some hay over to the corner of the landing, as she devoured her catch he continued working silently other than his ears still being pricked. Once he saw she was finished he stood next to the pile of hay he made “over here is where you can sleep, i got some of the softer hay to make it a little more comfortable then just laying on the ground up here” he meowed glancing back at her “Also if you need some water, if you go out the small hole we came in and walk around the side of the wall there is a leaky twoleg water object that constantly has a small trickle of cold water”

Saf had been so preoccupied with eating that she had barely noticed Lester making a nest for her. She stood and immediately felt guilt and caution poke at her as she realized she was already relying too much on this cat she had only just met. But as soon as she saw the nest, she felt a heaviness take over her limbs as sleep called to her. "Thank you," she said softly, still skeptical that a stranger could be so nice to have done something like that without asking for something in return. Padding over to the hay pile, she circled it once before turning back to face Lester. "How can I repay you?" She asked, not liking to owe anything to anyone. She wanted to repay him as soon as possible. Or get out of here if he asked something of her that she couldn't pay.

Lester shrugged “I always make a small hay pile for any passerby that ends up stopping” he mumbled glancing out of a small dirty window that was up at the landing next to him “Normally when the trees are starting to bloom until they start to loose their leaves is when I see a few passerbys around 4 or 5 of them between those time frames”. He squinted his eyes through the dirty window watching a two leg walking with a bigger animal over by the bigger nicer barn “so I don’t except anything back” he mumbled watching the twoleg closely

Saf listened quietly as she began to nestle herself into the nest. She watched Lester as he stared out the window, and she pondered his words. "Where do they go? The passerbys. Is there somewhere they are all going?" She asked curiously, wondering if perhaps their destination might give her insight as to where she should go from here. But as she waited for an answer, she could feel her brain slowly begin to fog up as the urge to sleep began to take over.

Lester sighed and shrugged not breaking his gaze out of the window “no idea, the passerbys that actually stop here to hunt or to take shelter overnight or from a nasty storm, most leave while I’m still asleep and they normally don’t talk too much or say where they are headed” his gaze glanced over to Saf for a spilt second before returning to the window “I’ll give you the same warning I gave all of them, be careful if your going through the forest south of here..” he paused for a heartbeat thinking about Cloudstep the cat he met a few sunrises ago “there is a group of forest cats that live there and they don’t take kindly to outsiders like yourself”

That comment woke Saf up a bit. "Forest cats? What do you mean?" She asked, her curiosity piqued. Could there be another group of cats like what she had in the city? And if so, would they be as cruel and unforgiving as her former clan? She sat up slightly, eager to know more.
(Would you like for her to move on in the morning, or should they become friends and she stay? I'm good with whatever.)

(That’s your call I’m good with anything ^.^)
Lester flicked his tail before wrapping it around his paws and looking over to Saf “i don’t know too much about them but it’s a group of cats that have weird names from what I gathered, they seem to patrol the forest edge a lot since it seems to be part of there territory, I’ve seen quiet a few different cats patrol it together some older and some younger, they seem to all work together” he explained as much as he could “but like I said I don’t know too much about them but I had someone come from the south all beat up and told me about the cats in that forest but he never told me why he was attacked but that was at least a season ago now”

Saf listened intently, her imagination running rampant as she thought about these strange forest cats. But she took the tom's warning seriously, as she was familiar with just how much damage a group of cats could do, especially to a loner like herself. She would make a mental note to stay clear of them. Once her curiosity had been sufficiently satisfied, the she cat curled up into a ball in the nest, letting her tail wrap around herself until it covered her nose, and she slowly drifted off to sleep. For now, she was safe. She would worry about those forest cats another day.

Lester watched the she-cat drift off into a deep sleep before silently getting to his paws and leaving the landing by jumping down the haystacks ‘Interesting cat’ he thought as he reached the ground before he glanced out of the opening to see the stars starting to appear in the sky, he gave a small smile to himself before making his way to his little nest up on a few haystacks next to the old twoleg equipment in a small wooden box with hay stuffed in it. He curled up glancing through the opening in the roof watching the stars before falling asleep himself

When Saf woke up, she could tell it was still dark outside. Listening closely, she could hear the faint sound of Lester sleeping somewhere in the barn. Slowly rising from her nest of hay, the she-cat stretched her legs, before leaping down from her perch to the barn floor. Since it was still dark, this was prime hunting hour. Figuring that she might as well earn her keep, Saf set to work, determined to have a decent pile of prey ready for Lester when he woke up. And by the time the sun was up, she had accumulated two mice, and one small squirrel. Now, she would just wait for the tom to wake up, so she could give him the choice of her kills.

Lester slept soundly all night like he usually did, when the faint sun started peaking through the opening in the old barn roof and hitting him in his face he awoke with a yawn, before standing up and stretching out of his box then giving his dark brown pelt a quick shake to get the extra hay out of his pelt. He scented the air in the barn and could still smell the fresh scent of Saf and a bit of moisture hung in the air “smells like its going to rain today” he mumbled to himself as he emerged from his hidden box behind the hay stacks in the corner and glanced around the barn to see if Saf was actually still here

Hearing some rustling, Saf turned towards the noise to see Lester emerge from behind some farm equipment. "Morning," She said slyly, refraining from chuckling at the stray piece of straw in his fur. "I caught some prey if you're hungry. I'll let you have your pick since you're so kindly letting me stay," She mewed as he drew closer. Hopefully he didn't mind that she had hunted in his barn again.

Lester gave a small smile but was surprised that this passerby was still here when he woke up, and even caught him his morning meal, “well... ummm thank you” He meowed still amazes that she was still here since he couldn’t wrap his head around it he quickly picked up one of the mice she caught before settling down next to the haystacks that lead up to the landing the passerbys sleep at and took a big bite

After Lester grabbed one of the mice, Saf picked up the squirrel and began eating, keeping an eye trained on Lester as she did. Halfway through her meal, the she-cat decided to break the silence. "So. What do you do all day?" She asked, curious what adventures the life of a barn cat had to offer. That was something she hadn't decided yet--did she want a peaceful rest of her life? Or did she desire adventure? Saf wasn't sure which she would prefer at the moment, but she figured she had time to decide.

Lester was about three fourths done with his mouse when Saf broke the awkward silence between them “ummm... “ he mumbled before swallowing what he had already in his mouse “well... I kinda watch around the barn from the fence... and sometimes watch the twoleg and follow from a distance of course to see what they are up too...” he paused trying to think of things he does “well then the usual things like get some fresh hay if needed, Hunt things like that” he told her realizing he was a quiet boring cat

Saf's whiskers twitched as she listened to Lester speak. Clearly the poor cat needed some fun in his life. "Well, what would you say about going on an adventure. Exploring what lies beyond this little farm?" She suggested, hoping to entice the tom into taking a chance on her. Because though she hated to admit it, Saf was already missing the community of her old group, even if it did have many more downsides than upsides, and she wasn't quite ready to move on yet.

I'm fine with Fallowflame being Russetblaze sister. Here are starters for anyone.)
Russetblaze settled himself down next to the camp entrance near the elders den. Since he wasn't on a patrol or anything he decide he would guard the entrance, but he was slowly drifting off to sleep. Russetblaze ears flicked as he listened to the sounds coming from outside the camp.
Ambercloud slipped out the warriors den trying to avoid the trail of moss left behind by Crowtalon as she passed the tom and Gingertail. She looked toward the fresh kill pile wondering if the elders or queens have eaten, and whether another patrol being form as she noticed Robinfall and Silentstorm talking.
Stone slunk through the shade of the trees that dotted the edge of the twolegs place, her whiskers twitching and ears, she was paying Barry a visit to see if he was feeling better as the tom was sick before and his twoleg kept him inside, glad to see the tom was back to his normal self. Stone padded back into the forest breathing in the scents for any nearby prey before returning back to her den.

Before the sun was even up, Scorchpaw had snuck out of the apprentice’s den, gingerly making his way through the tangle of other apprentices, careful not to step on any tails. Once he was out, he quietly made his way out of a secret hole he had found in between the elders den and the medicine den, and burst out into the fresh air, pausing momentarily to admire the slowly dimming starlit sky before darting off into the darkness. The black Tom easily blended into the shadows of the early morning, making it easy for him to camouflage himself as he made his way to his destination: the collapsed Flashclan tunnels. ( owlspots, perhaps either thornpaw or tangletail (whoever is free) could catch him?)

Lester shook his head, “I’d prefer to stay here, I got my home to look after and to make sure the two legs keep mice out of this barn” he meowed not wanting to leave his barn even for a few minutes, he finished his mouse and slipped out of the open hole in the wall and made his way to the fence, his mind deep in thought

@lessa
Midnightsnow perked her ears in excitement. "Sunlight!" She gasped in happiness, it had felt like moons since they had seen the light. She attempted to bound past sungaze, but the walls were tighter than expected and pushed her closer to him. She giggled nervously as there fur touched and quickly pushed herself forward. She felt her ears grow warmer, but quickly pushed away her nerves. "Hey.. um.. wasn't it moon rise when we first came down here?" She mewed, realizing just how much tune must have passed

(Hey all! I'm finished with classes and heading into finals week now so I'll probably be spotty with activity but I will have more personal time to do stuff so hopefully I'll be around to rp more! sunni Roselight is about to bring back Thornpaw and Harepaw who are a but beat up from patrolling!)
Roselight led the way into camp, dropping her catches on the fresh-kill pile, then turned to her son and apprentice. "Alright, off to the medicine den with you two. Thornpaw, make sure you get that scratch cleaned up," she meowed sternly, ushering them in the direction of the hollow in the side of the cave that held the medicine den.
Sungaze yelped as Midnightsnow suddenly pushed past him, nearly losing his balance in the process. "Hey, be careful!" he scolded, feeling his own ears warm in surprise. Still, he stuck close as they finally emerged from the old tunnels and into the sunlight. Sungaze quickly relaxed now that he was out of the pitch darkness, blinking to let his eyes adjust to the brightness outside. "Er, yeah, it was pretty late," he replied, staring at the rising sun in disbelief. "Uh oh. We'd better hurry back before anyone notices we're gone,"
Robinfall hummed thoughtfully as she turned her own gaze to Gingertail and Crowtalon, clearly displeased with Crowtalon's behavior, though she didn't say it aloud. "Sure," she replied to Silentstorm's suggestion. "With it getting colder every day, we should try to catch as much as we can before the snow comes and chases the prey into their dens for leafbare." Spotted Ambercloud, she added, "Take Ambercloud with you too."
Gingertail gave an amused smile at seeing Crowtalon's struggle. "Here, let me help," she offered, hooking the scrap of moss with her own claws and lifting them away from Crowtalon's, letting it fall to the ground. "Do you usually have so much trouble with your claws?"

Crowtalon let Gingertail help him clearly embarrassed and it was only getting worse. Crowtalon nodded slightly “well...yes.... only this one though” he mumbled glancing down at his paws unsheathing his left side claws but unable to do so on his right side where all the moss was wrapped around prior to Gingertail’s help “I haven’t been able to sheath it since I can remember “
