((I'll throw Pumpkin in now x3 And hello MorningGlory))
The she-cat remained pressed against the branch, frozen as her mind raced. The two cats ahead of her didn't seem to be fighting. She couldn't catch any of their conversation (except the occasional outburst from the clan cat), And there were no cries of battle. So she could safely assume the pair were simply talking an the rogue would remain uninjured. She turned, about to move away from the two and the approaching cats, until another thought came to her.
What if the clan cat was simply waiting for the others to arrive?
It would give the clan cat a strategic advantage against the rogue in a fight, so it would make sense if he were biding his time in preparation for a fight. Or the clan cats could actually be peaceful. But because the tom had mentioned fighting to protect the land, she would probably be safer assuming they weren't, and they would attack both her and the stranger.
So she had two options.
One was to approach the pair and act as though she knew the rogue, possibly imply he had brain damage, apologize to the clan cat, and hope they could get away. Pros included possibly not having to spend months recovering from a fight with a clowder of clan cat, while the cons included the possibility of having to drag an angry, uncooperative rogue out of clan territory or (even more likely) the clan cat not buying it and thinking the two strangers were working together to attack his home. And she would have to leave the territory with an empty belly.
The other plan was to distract the patrol. Lead them away to give the rogue a chance to deal with the situation himself. Pumpkin would have sighed, if she weren't in fear of being detected - this plan would include a rather large confrontation. But it would be less troublesome for her fellow rogue. And, if she could stay in the territory long enough, maybe she could find out where a good place to hunt was.
Before a third option (such as leaving the rogue to his own troubles) could pass her mind, she was airborne, leaping through a the trees towards the patrol until she was confidant the two cats couldn't see her. Mud-covered fur was hastily brushed against a tree trunk until the bright orange of the pelt beneath began to show.
Once she was sure her scent could be detected, she once again became a streak of color in the trees, quickly approaching the clan cats.
------
The black tom stared at the creature above them, a shiver running down his spine. His hair stood on end and he narrowed his eyes. The creature let out a chitter, making Shadowpaw lash his tail anxiously.
He had seen a raccoon once before, when it had crept into the camp and broken into the nursery. Having heard stories about them eating naughty kittens, he had arched his back and let out a hiss (which sounded more like a terrified screech). It had drawn the attention of a few of the older clan cats, who then quickly chased the creature off.
But now, as he arched his back, fur standing on its end, the screech he let off was not one of fear. With no warriors in sight, the young cat couldn't afford to be afraid.
No, the young cat had let out a battle cry.
He didn't have time to be afraid, nor did he have time to remember how the warriors had scared off the creature the night it came into the camp . The raccoon was already halfway down the tree, glaring at the two young apprentices and chittering angrily.
Shadowpaw refused to look away from it. Fur still bristling with anger, his claws unsheathed and dug into to mud.
((Shadowpaw is loosely based off of one of my cats, and I figured 'hey, since he looks the same, might as well have him sound like a screeching baby whenever he attacks something' x3 ))

Shadowheart smelled the mouse too but didn't bother to go after it since Firesky already was. She padded further in sniffing for prey. Soon she not smelled, but saw flickering in the water. She crept closer trying not to make any vibrations. She saw several fish in the water. She sat down and checked to make sure her shadow was behind her. She gently raised a paw and waited for the fish to come closer.

((Hey Koi, no worries - life gets hectic, and sometimes you just need to pass out after work x3
Hawkeyes: Hey, you play Dragoncave! Do you know about the view sites they have to help your eggs hatch?
Raincloud: Doeflower had her last kit, then named all three. Ashlight, Shadowheart, and Firesky are hunting. Plumbwhisker and her brother Frogtail, along with Scorchmark and Oliveleaf went on patrol, heading towards Hawke, Adder, and Pumpkin. Hawke and Adder continued talking; Adder wants to talk to Ebonystar to possibly 'join' the clan, just for personal gain. Pumpkin was watching them and smelt the patrol, so she's going to try and bait them away. Two apprentices, Rufflepaw and Shadowpaw, went wandering into the swamp to hunt, but found an angry raccoon. And there was a bit of OOC talk about the amazing special edition arcs.))

Scorchmark growled and unsheathes his claws. "Let's get moving then!" He said not wanting the rogue to get away. Scorchmark looked at the others to see if they agreed.

“I don’t think it will hurt us if we stay in the water” Rufflepaw said under his breath, panic edging his meow, “I can’t imagine they like to get their paws wet”. Despite his words he took a few steps back, going deeper into the swamp. His eyes were locked on the raccoon, he’d heard of them being mentioned plenty of times but had never came face to face with one. His mud slicked fur began to bristle as he glanced towards his denmate. I…I don’t know what to do!, he suddenly felt tiny. “Maybe we can scare it if you keep shouting at it” the tom suggested quietly.
"Do you really think it's a rogue?" the fur on Oliveleaf's neck bristled at Plumwhisker's suggestion. It's okay, one rogue won't get that far against a whole patrol, she reassured herself. She gazed up towards the trees which Plumwhisker had pointed to, Oliveleaf narrowed her eyes and tilted her head slightly.

Hawke sighed and shook his head, his whiskers twitching slightly in irritation. Why would he ask to see the camp as bluntly as he did, the large tom clearly wouldn't show a 'rogue'. He had at least some brains... "I see your point, I suppose. It was mostly to have an idea if perchance I did decide to join at a later date." The lithe tom muttered, admittedly stuck between a rock and a hard place in terms of what to do. Though meeting with the leader did interest him slightly if he stick around to do it... He could bail before they reached him, or 'agree' to a pact only to leech their resources for his own benefit. "I have to admit though. I am curious about this 'meeting your sister' idea..."

RP: Adder bristled at that comment and he nearly tore a chuck of the Rouges hide, but he remembered how his sister was an even better fighter then he. And he smiled and laughed, actually laughed. "If you think you can turn this situation to your advantage and double cross her you are wrong." He shook his pelt and moved to face him better, "Are you sure you want to talk to her?"

Hawke recoiled back slightly and took in a sharp breath in false offense. "Me? Double cross your sister? Why, I must admit that I am flattered that you think so highly of me! If I didn't know any better, I would think you were scared of raggedy me!" The words rolled of his tongue in that last sentence, taking pleasure in an odd sort of way about the tom's carefulness. He would have to keep this in mind... He straightened back up, shook his body to seemingly regain his pride. "Since you seem to know EVERYTHING about me, do you think I am sure about meeting your sister?"

RP: "Scared, yea sure..." He said sarcastically, "You stay here, I will be back with my sister. She can be the true judge of your character." He shook out his pelt and was about to leave when he turned back to look at him, "Stay here." He said his voice low but stern and his eyes were slitted as if he would turn and kill him in a second. Then he disappeared.

"I'll be here, friend!" Hawke called in the direction that the tom disappeared into. "Likely awaiting my death..." He muttered under his breath, once he was sure his voice couldn't be heard anymore. Then with a smile, he declared to no one in particular, "At least I have a rough idea of where the camp is now... I could even just track his scent. Ha!" The ragged tom almost jumped with glee. This was turning out to be quite the day! The most crucial of decisions was on the horizon now so Hawke regained his composure: should he stay or should he go... Hawke sat on the branch, head down, truly weighing the pros and cons.

RP: After a few moments the sun was covered by a dark cloud casting the swamp in a darker shade, the scent of Briar Roses wafted through the breeze giving the air a more sweet scent. Then suddenly a feminine voice sounded out of the darkness reaches of the swamp. "Welcome to the territory of Briarclan.... Hawke? I am Ebonystar." She said hiding in the shadows, her pitch black pelt keeping her safe within the shadows. Her voice was soft and whimsical but held an edge that echoed through the trees. Adder jumped to the branch he had previously been on, he was followed by Tricklestone who stood beside him watching the meeting without a word. Though tTricklestone held a darker look in his eyes and stared at the tom in disgust.

Hawke snapped out of his trance with a shake of his head. He must have nodded off to sleep while thinking... And was met with no shortage of surprises. For one, this apparent leader knew his name though he swore he never gave it out. On top of this, he supposed he was a fool for thinking there would only be the three of them... And this new tom did not seem to like him in the slightest. Greeted by the new scents and light Hawke yawned to try and clear the grogginess from his head. There went the opportunity to escape with no risk... "Ah! Er... hello?" The tom said rather loudly, the only thing coming to his mind in this rapid change. "What are you looking at, furbag?" Hawke said to himself against the piercing gaze of the warrior.

RP: "Nothing then a mangy-" Tricklestone started with a snarl when a booming voice snapped at him. "Tricklestone back off or go home!" The female voice said her irritation present in her voice. Then she appeared above Hawke's branch her hard gaze at her brother, she was darker then a new moon night and had piercing green eyes; her long form was massive compared to most she cats her age and her tail was long and feathery. After scolding her brother she dropped down beside Hawke with little to no noise as the wind blew towards Hawke, her briar rose scent wafting to him. "I am Ebonystar, please forgive my brother... He doesn't know when to keep his prejudges comments to himself. And for my other brother's aloofness." She smiled calmly as she moved closer, the tips of white claws sticking out of her black paws.
