Tangletail's paws gently padded across the cool dry earth as his tail stuck up like a flag above his head. The bright sunlight filtering through the trees fell onto the ground, leaving a dappled pattern on his coat. He was returning home from an independent hunt of his, having managed to ensnare a common grey squirrel, and he held his head a little higher than normal as he ducked under the brambles that guarded the entrance to the camp, a few thorns running through his thick fur. Tangletail dropped the prey onto the fresh-kill pile before sitting and quickly licking his jaws to rid himself of the blood that had covered his teeth during the journey. His tail gently swayed against the ground as his eyes, bright with curiosity, began to examine the camp, watching the faces that wandered back and forth through the dens and clearing.

Eelbite was grooming himself by the fresh-kill pile; bit of an awkward place, but it wasn't as though he could wash himself in the warriors' den. No, that would no doubt wake people up, and who in their right mind wanted to go around choking on bits of drifting fur if they didn't absolutely have to? The tabby and cream tom paused at the sight of Elkseer padding from his den, meowing a greeting. "Hey! Nice day today."Elkseer's unnecessarily quick pace faltered when he heard the voice of another cat directed at him; almost tripping over his own paws. After a few more stuttering steps to regain his balance, he stopped and searched for the source of the voice. His eyes rested on Eelbite. Surprised that a warrior was speaking to him for a reason other than medicinal matters, it took the Medicine Cat a moment to process the cordial greeting before forming a response, "Oh, yes, ah.. hello." The greeting tripped over itself before rapidly snowballing into an awkward string of words. He looked up to the sky as if he needed to confirm for himself the second part of the warrior's greeting, "Yes," he breathed, slowly trailing his gaze back down to the tom, "It is rather nice, isn't it?" After a moment of awkward silence, Elkseer decided he had better say something else, "How was your patrol?" He had recalled Eelbite along with a fellow warrior - a she-cat, he believed? - leave camp a while ago.

shadowstreak : Eelbite nodded in turn, just as awkward. "It was...good? I guess. Better than it being bad, and at least it didn't rain. Not much to say about that. How's your day been?" The tabby and cream tom decided to sit down at that moment, curling his fluffy tail around his paws. "Find any useful herbs lately?" mosspaw : He watched as Tangletail deposited his catch on the pile, arching his brow. Moderately impressive, Batfrost supposed, though the fawn tomcat wasn't one to dole out praise willy-nilly..if at all. "Nice catch," he offered, raising his voice a little so that he could be heard from his perch beside Boarstar's den. "Doing a little afternoon hunting, I take it?" [Tempted to bring one of Bat's littermates in...but who? Not like I've got many options, but there's still three of them. Gah. Also, thinking I'm going to delete a lot of people since they haven't responded to any of my PM's. Unfortunately, that includes our deputy and about half our warriors.]

drachekind Applescent I understand that some of you may have schooling, but at the same time I'd like to have it so that there's more than 3 people keeping this thread alive. I've PM'd you all before, and since none of you have responded to that, I am going to be deleting your characters from the group. If you do not want them to be deleted, then I suggest you at least post something to show you're not dead.

Elkseer blinked in shock. A warrior was carrying on a conversation with him? He turned more to face the tom, unsure whether to sit or stand so his rear lowered partially in some awkward half-sit for a moment before he committed fully and sat down. โOh, ah - um, yes. Er, no... Well, not yet.โ He tripped through his answer. โIโm going out soon to collect some herbs Iโm running low on.โ
[okay yeah makes sense! I am available to make a deputy if thatโs alright with you, or Hawkfoot can try for the position? And I like the idea of the brother.]

It's not like I have anything else to do at the moment," he sighed, taking a few steps towards the other cat. Tangletail and Eelbite had never been well acquainted, though not through any fault of Eelbite's: Tangletail always kept to himself mostly, doing anything that was necessary for the day before disappearing as long as he could.

[okay yeah makes sense! I am available to make a deputy if thatโs alright with you, or Hawkfoot can try for the position? And I like the idea of the brother.] [You can do either or, I don't really mind. And so, Apollo will come. Definitely him, at the very least. Maybe Erasmus, maybe not. Can't add him to the roster now, but he'll definitely start showing his pretty boy face soon. ...Not that Batfrost will be too fond of that. He's never really liked Apollo, which is funny because, comparing them, Batfrost would get along fairly well with his paternal grandfather Duncan; provided they ever canonically met. And Ap's definitely got some of Grandpa's worst traits in that respect.] Eelbite shifted his weight to one side, then continued to speak. "What kind of herbs? I could try to help, if you want...even though I don't know what a lot of them look like. But I'll try my best. I, uhh, don't have anything else to do at the moment, anyways, so. Let me know!" The Himalayan/Chausie mix finished with a lopsided, painfully cheesy grin. mosspaw : "Understandable," Batfrost mused, his slender jaws parting in a massive yawn. "Neither do I, really. So, you planning on taking a nap, or going back out to hunt more, or what?" The lanky moggy arched a brow at Tangletail. "Not much to do around here except sit and stare at walls all day. Or gossip, I suppose."

wadevvilson (Whoops, sorry. Thought I was talking to a different cat. Works anyways, though.) Tangletail sighed, smacking his jaws slightly as he looked around the camp, as if expecting an opportunity to present itself immediately upon his desire. No such luck however, and the clueless cat remained in his present state. "I, uh, don't really know at the moment," Tangletail mewed with a little chuckle. "Are you planning on anything? Misery loves company."

[I'm excited!]
Elkseer blinked in surprise at the offer, but nodded vigorously, "Please do," He grinned, "I don't often get the chance to have company on my little excursions." By 'not often,' the tom meant 'not ever.' He never felt lonely, really, until he had someone talk to him - then he realized just how alone he was. However, it never got him down for very long - he found something to busy himself with and all feelings of sorrow passed away just as quickly as they had come.

"Well, then, that's convenient," Tangletail said. He paused for a moment while he grasped at what he should say as he stared into the ground at his paws. His ear twitched, and his head jerked back up violently to face Elkseer again and shook as if Tangletail had suddenly returned to his body after a long journey somewhere else. "Anyways. Uh, what were you thinking of doing?" Tangletail muttered, now embarrassed slightly as he ran an unsheathed claw through the dirt.

I'm fine with whenever, just wanted to make sure you had time to do things first if you needed to." The tabby paused briefly to scratch his ear. mosspaw : Batfrost narrowed his eyes at Tangletail's sudden movement, but decided to say nothing on the subject. "...Well, fresh-kill pile is stocked.

"Yes, I think a border patrol would be a good idea. You can never be too careful with borders." He silently cursed to himself as he kept botching up all attempts Batfrost made for normal conversation. He would try to be more careful with his tongue from now on, as Batfrost seemed to already be slightly wary of him. (So, I appear to be playing Tangletail as a much more eccentric cat than originally intended, but no matter. It seems right for him. Perhaps, on the patrol, they might run into a badger or fox, or perhaps a rogue?)

The fawn moggy countered, then got to his feet, back arching in a long stretch. "May as well go now, I guess. Not like there'll ever be a better time." Batfrost shook out his scruffy pelt, then started padding towards the camp's entrance.

wadevvilsonTangletail walked stiffly behind Batfrost, his ears erect and eyes staring forward, until he caught a confused glance from a clanmate and forced his body to relax. His tail still lashed nervously behind him, however, and Tangletail's thoughts were racing with what was the proper social etiquette in this situation. The silence was building momentum, and it would become awkward if he didn't break it. "Uh, where do you think we should head to? Wait..." his voice dropped to a whisper. "Did we already discuss that? Oh, we must have..." he groaned slightly, his head pointed towards the ground. (he tends to forget and misremember things.)

"Not like I mind wandering. Like I said, there's not much else to do today."

Tangletail look a little more assured than before, his ears facing forward, and his eyes now turned towards Batfrost. "Alright," he shrugged as he spoke, and continued walking forward. It was a nice day, he supposed. Not that he particularly cared about the weather unless it was raining or snowing (and it rarely snowed), but there weren't any clouds out and the sun was shining. Batfrost had gotten fairly far before a flash of gold in the trees ahead made him halt in his tracks, posture stiffening. He recognized that fur...And so, faint memories of kithood came floating back. There had been four, yes, but only one with that bright of a coat. Batfrost was awkwardly silent, staring into the trees blankly.

Tangletail, his attention turned to Batfrost, had not seen the golden specter himself, and so when his new companion who had so far seemed relaxed and 'chill' was seized by the hand of fear, Tangletail almost panicked. He dropped closer to the ground, his ears flat on his head and his eyes wide as he began looking around wildly. "What is it?" he hissed through clenched teeth. His tail was lashing like a snake in dying woes in his fear. wadevvilson

"I'm...not sure yet," he lied, narrowing his eyes before taking a few hesitant steps forward. The golden mirage couldn't have gone very far, considering that his scent was near-overpowering; the strength of it made Batfrost wince. There was what seemed like an eternity of awkward silence, and then the fawn tom called out, struggling to find a name that had not been spoken in so long- "Apollo?" It felt unfamiliar on his tongue, and again he tried. His brother answered his call, an effeminate body lightly stepping from the undergrowth to face the patrol. The littermates stared at each other, unblinking. Evidently Apollo had done well for himself the past years; he was tending to fat, and had quite the gut for such an otherwise slim frame. Had he not been a cisgender male, one could have mistaken him for pregnant. The golden tabby blinked sleepily. "Hadrian. Been a while, hasn't it?" He quickly cut off the tomcat's response by turning his attention to Tangletail. "And you are, gorgeous? Well-your name, I mean."

Tangletail was shocked to say the least. Who was this tom that Batfrost addressed with such familiarity, such longing? This cat, Apollo, was certainly no warrior, Tangletail could tell from his scent and physical appearance. He didn't feel he should assume anything, so he tried his best to suppress the theories that swirled in his mind. Yet, he was caught off guard again by not only Apollo simply addressing him, but the strange way that he did. "T-Tangletail? Your name is Apollo?" He blinked his pale, yellow eyes slowly. He had never considered himself in any way 'gorgeous'. Perhaps it was just Apollo's form of greeting, albeit an odd one. wadevvilson

"Indeed. Is that unusual?" The golden tom nods to Tangletail in confirmation. His eyes were kind, although he no doubt had some kind of hidden motive. "And...'Tangletail'. Not a bad name, if I do say so myself. And, I do. Of course." Apollo sat down gingerly, rasping his tongue over a slim forepaw. Batfrost rolled his eyes, lip curling, demeanor suddenly shifting. "Why are you here all of a sudden?" He interjected. "Here I thought you'd be happy with Leto, having queens, toms, and the like to fawn over you day and night." The wildcat mix's tail lashed once in irritation. "I have no favors to repay." His tone had gained an oddly stiff, formal quality, and there was fire in his eyes as he spat at Apollo. Apollo raised a brow. "Were any of us really happy with Mother?" He challenged haughtily. "Artemis, Erasmus; were either of them happy? She starved you for not talking when spoken to, berated our brother for constantly goofing off. Our precious sister was the only one who received even neutral treatment out of the lot of us. Leto banished us to the outskirts of her territory when she deemed us old enough to fend for ourselves. I loaned myself for nearly as far back as I can remember for a chance at a decent meal. You know as well as anyone that I was never a good hunter, unless you've forgotten. At least I found the acts pleasurable enough to crave more, but is it really good for such a cat to become so dependent upon-" He cut himself off abruptly, pale eyes widening with guilt. "Ahh. For a moment, I have forgotten than we are in company. And, regrettably, it seems as though I have forgotten to live." For a second, it looked like the tabby was going to faint, but he straightened up quickly. mosspaw [sorry for the angst boys]

"I hope you can understand that I'm not quite sure how to respond to this. But, Batfrost (did he say 'Hadrian?'), even if this is your littermate, he is no clanmate. So, Apollo," Tangletail gulped, gathering up his guts, "you need to leave now. And never return to Sageclan's territory." He didn't appear to have the resolve or the ability to carry out this order, however, although his eyes resonated with some inner desire to have both. His ear twitched slightly, and his posture was bending closer to the ground than before as he stared at the golden tom. wadevvilson

"Well, then your borders evidently aren't very well-maintained if random cats can go waltzing about on your land, hmm? I can't say that I know anything about this "Clan" thing, but, if it's anything like Leto's group...I don't want a part in it to begin with. I am a traveler, and nothing further." With that having been said, he got up and shook his fur out.

Tangletail growled slightly at the insult, and for a moment, he stood up straight, his chest puffed out and his eyes blazing. It seemed like the small cat had swelled up several sizes more than possible. His tail lashed like an angered cobra. "Good. You'll run if you want to keep your eyes." His voice was laced with a malice and hunger that had previously seemed unfeasible from the cowardly cat. wadevvilson

Pantherclaw's whiskers twitches subtly under his keen gaze lent on a mouse scuttling into the underbrush. The deputy heaved a quiet sigh and let it go, taking his two voles and a sparrow with him as he paced back to camp. His claws ebbed the moist undergrowth as he made his way around trees, burrows, and shrubs on the way. His thoughts wandered aimlessly as he entered the camp, setting down his three prizes and scanning the area for Tangletail and Batfrost who had been gone out of camp past the time they were supposed to arrive.
