Smoke was tense, nothing about him calm. He was already on edge from his fellow rogues 'missing', and now this? He huffed in disapproval, a frown on his face as his eyes narrowed. "Bronco, we're suffering just as much as any other cat with the seasons changing," he sighed. "I suppose one rabbit won't hurt, but I don't let me catch you exchanging prey with outsiders again. Please, don't even speak with them. You find another on our territory you attack it, right?" the grey tom huffed, a sharp tone in his voice. "Of course," Bronco grunted. He knew this was quite out of character for him and Smoke probably had more suspicions of him than he'd yet mentioned. Grimly he thought of Aki padding aimlessly through the territory, expecting to meet him but instead meeting a group of fellow rogues. She'd certainly be outnumbered if she was found by a patrol. With a sad feeling, he realized he'd have to warn her to stay away the next time he saw her. Perhaps it was for the best, though he knew he'd regret not being able to see her again…

Crow gave Smoke a look that told him he was being a bit harsh. Though she knew the outsiders could be dangerous, the she-cat hadn't caused any harm yet. The she-cat was probably too small to put up a fight anyways—at least, she appeared to be. She turned to Bronco. "Just make good choices from now on," she advised him vaguely, then gave Smoke a look as she added, "Do what you must to keep the group safe."

"Well,who wouldn't see them?"Flask asked curiously,putting down his yarrow. She sat back on her haunches, calming down a bit as she huffed. "My brothers- they think I'm going crazy and I'm seeing things," the small she-cat grumbled.

Smoke visibly relaxed at Crow's words, though not much. He let out a tiny sigh- probably for the tenth time that morning. "Sorry, I'm just a bit worried that almost everyone's gone. It's unusual. We've only just found Bronco, but Whisp, Shadi, and the twins are still out...perhaps we should go back, it looks like a storm's coming," he meowed softly, an edge of worry in his voice. (This is for 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓵𝔂 𝓬𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓭𝔂) Kito wandered slowly through the trees, drinking in the wonderful scents of rain and pine. There would be rain soon, and he might need to head back to camp empty-pawed. Sighing, the tom treaded onward. Upon hearing quarreling, the tabby assumed the sisters were out for a hunt. He let out a welcoming purr as he pushed out of some underbrush. "Afternoon."

And they won't even spare it a second glance-" she pouted, beginning to groom her chest fur. A sudden realization dawned on her as she glanced at the tom. "You're an outsider."

We've only just found Bronco, but Whisp, Shadi, and the twins are still out...perhaps we should go back, it looks like a storm's coming," he meowed softly, an edge of worry in his voice. Crow nodded in agreement, looking up at the dark thunderheads that had gathered in the sky. "Looks like a big one. We'll be safer back in the camp." She turned with a flick of her tail and started back the way they came. The ground grew softer with leaf-litter underpaw as they neared the edge of the forest. — Bronco twitched an ear. "I haven't seen them, but they're probably around here hunting somewhere." He shrugged. Or they're like me, feeding outsiders… He couldn't help but feel guilty about giving Aki his only remaining catch—the rest of his prey store had seemingly vanished, and now he would come back to camp empty-pawed. Bronco tasted the muggy air for scents. Though the heavy tang of rain was strong, he scented life in the undergrowth. "I'm gonna stop and hunt," he meowed, padding along behind Crow. "Go on without me." He stopped to sniff the base of a tree. Mice surely lived nearby, sheltered by the dense undergrowth that covered the forest floor.

Smoke frowned as Bronco insisted on hunting, already wary of the coming storm. "Bronco, that's not necessary. Don't feel guilty, you helped a fellow sufferer out- let's forget and move on. I really want to keep everyone at camp until the storm passes..." he added, the tone in his voice anything but calm.

Calypso | 《Kᥲιrσʂ》 Calypso was sitting, having set down her catch earlier, and grooming herself, when she heard a familiar yelp of pain. She froze and her head shot up, her gaze bewildered as she looked around. “Ophelia?”
The mostly-white molly stood, about to go in the direction of where she think her sister went, when she heard another voice behind her. She turned, still looking worried as Kito appeared. “Hi, Kito,” she replied, her voice pitchy from her worry. “Did you head Ophelia cry out, too?”

"No, is she not with you? Smoke and Snake want us back at camp. Supposedly almost everybody's out and about this morning, and there's a storm coming..." he meowed softly, lifting his head to scent for the sister. "I don't smell her."

(@ripper, would you possibly want to take control of either Shadi or Snake? It'd be more interesting if we had another person being a co-leader rather than me controlling it all. That or I could make Snake a warrior and Crow could be a co-leader. Just an offer, you're totally okay to remain the way it is!) Whisp tilted her head, a sympathetic look clouding her eyes.

I really want to keep everyone at camp until the storm passes..." he added, the tone in his voice anything but calm. "No, really," Bronco insisted, an almost pleading tone in his voice. How many more days would they have like this until the cold arrived? The air was still warm, and there was bound to be at least a mouse or two out and about. "What if I hunt a little closer to camp?" He figured it would ease Smoke's worries if he stayed within distance of the camp, and besides that, a little extra fresh-kill never hurt. — Crow looked back at the two as she padded ahead. "The rain is coming soon," she advised Bronco. The sky was already rapidly darkening. "But if you insist…" Bronco had some wits about him. If he got back before the worst of the storm he'd likely be fine, but most of the prey surely would've run off by then with the threat of rain. Was it really necessary to hunt at the moment?

Calypso & Ophelia | 《Kᥲιrσʂ》 Frowning at Kito’s answer, Calypso didn’t reply before turning and heading off in Ophelia’s direction. She could’ve sworn she heard her sister cry out... maybe she was going crazy. Surely Ophelia would be fine. She was smart and capable of taking care of herself. But when she caught a scent laced with blood, her heart dropped to her paws.
Sure enough, the she-cat tracked the scent all the way to where she found Ophelia, crouched and holding a paw to her face. The injured she-cat looked up when she heard pawsteps and her own heart sank when she saw Calypso and Kito. “What happened to you?” Calypso fretted, coming over to her littermate. Ophelia tried scooting away, but Calypso was already too close. “I’m ok,” she tried to growl, but her voice was a little shaky.

Smoke sighed, his head drooping a bit in defeat and Bronco insisted. "Please, if there's the smallest bit of lightning in the sky, come back. Don't stay out for long, alright?" he grumbled warily, his voice soft. "While you're out, keep your nose sharp for Whisp, Shadi, and the sisters, I believe Kito is out right now looking for them."

Kito immediately tensed as he caught the metallic scent of blood. Why hadn't he been able to smell it before...? "Ophelia, what happened?" he grumbled softly, glancing around as if to check of any threats nearby. The striped tom looked a bit confused. Had Calypso not been with her a moment ago?

Whisp purred happily, a smile on her face. "Wonderful! Lets head back then," she meowed warmly. It was only seconds before she turned and started running off in the general direction of the group's camp.

The pair soon reached the camp entrance, though it wasn't too far from the cliffside. "They might not be too happy, but you'll be fine. Just let me do the talking, okay?" she purred, still standing outside the tall grass that lined the camp.

Don't stay out for long, alright?" he grumbled warily, his voice soft. "While you're out, keep your nose sharp for Whisp, Shadi, and the sisters, I believe Kito is out right now looking for them."Bronco nodded respectfully, feeling eager to redeem himself after what had happened earlier. "I'll look out for them and the storm," he meowed, branching off from the path of the others. He veered through a cluster of trees leading to a thick tangle of bracken and weeds. Moss grew on the bark of the oaks. The forest floor brimmed with life. Opening his mouth to taste for prey-scents, he detected a mouse. Even though the wind was picking up, he could still hear the sound of tiny footsteps in the undergrowth. Bronco dropped into a crouch, careful not to brush against the thick undergrowth as he neared a small gray body. The mouse didn't seem to notice him. He quickly darted forward and grabbed the mouse, stunning the small creature, then delivered a killing bite. He looked down at his kill in satisfaction before tucking it under a heap of weeds to retrieve later, then padded deeper into the woods, set on providing as much prey as he could for the others. — Crow slowed her pace, falling behind so she could walk shoulder-to-shoulder with Smoke. "Don't worry," she said comfortingly to the leader. "I'm sure it'll all be fine. Cats don't just float off somewhere," she joked, aiming to ease Smoke's anxiety with her humor. He seemed unusually tense about the situation, and she wondered if there was a deeper issue he hadn't mentioned that was worrying him.

Crow nodded slowly, and although he seemed a bit more calm about his fellow rogues being out and about, he was still worried that there was more to them going out all at once than just coincidence. "Do you think...maybe Snake- he's been acting strange..." the grey tom stammered, nervously whispering to Crow as they neared their base.
