Emiko - Jasmine
Emiko smiled as she looked around at the group. She was about to agree with Berry and greet Jasmine, when she spotted something off with her leader. "Jasmine!" She gasped, frowning as she nudged the other cat into a position where she could see her paw. "What did you do to yourself, silly furball?" She asked, scolding gently with her tone as she looked at the torn paw. She huffed to herself. She didn't have the exact herb that would help the best, so she'd have to make do. She narrowed her eyes at Jasmine. "Stay," She ordered and padded over to the tree she had made her den in. Leaping up, she easily climbed to her hollow and stuck her head inside.
Emiko emerged with a few things wrapped in a leaf and leapt back down, hurrying back to Jasmine. "I can't apply a poultice now," She murmured, digging out a few leaves from her make-do leaf package, "It'll just rub off as we walk. I'll give you something for the pain and take care of it once we get to the area Berry and I found." She sets two different kinds of leaf in front of Jasmine. "Dandelion and Elders leaves. Eat them and they should ease the pain without making you sleepy like poppy does," The Bengal frowned against, looking stern, "And go easy, don't be bounding about and making it worse, alright?"
Shadow - Tawny
Shadow hovered by Tawny, unused to quite so many other cats around him. He hadn't been in such a big group since he was a kit. He noticed when his new friend's expression changed. Something that seemed like uncertainty made him push his side carefully against her. He tilted his head, asking if she was alright without saying a word.
Mimi - Shorty and Pearl
Mimi couldn't help the rumble of a purr that echoed from her chest, watching the obviously close little pack interact. She noticed a new cat pad into the clearing. "This is lovely," She murmured to herself, tail curling around her paws as she sat beside Shorty and Pearl. "Are you glad you came?" She asked the siblings, smiling warmly.
Oliver - Mentions Spirit
Oliver stayed towards the back of the group, his quiet nature made him anxious at the number of cats he didn't know surrounding him. Instead he stayed by Spirit as his mother socialised, waiting for any sign she might need him. He knew he'd get used to all of them eventually, but he preferred taking it one paw-step at a time.

Jasminewith Emiko & Winchester
While they were sitting back and letting Emiko fuss over their paw, Jasmine looked at Winchester. "A few, some are still deciding," they told the tom. The cat then tilted their head, "Did you have a good day?" They nodded to Emiko while waiting for Winchester's answer. Knowing there was no use in telling the medically-inclined cat that there really wasn't too much pain coming from their paw, really it was a mild annoyance, they lapped up and chewed what was given.
Pearl & Shorty with Mimi
As Mimi began to talk to them, Shorty rolled his shoulders in a shrug. "It's a new experience, to say the least," he meowed. As a stray he didn't stick around many cats other than his sister, and he knew that he was the only cat Pearl had been around since she was taken from their first home. In fact, looking at his sister now revealed that she was still a little unsure. "Um, I'm sure I'll be happy about it later. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now," Pearl admitted. The warm aura that Mimi had calmed her a little, and she felt she could confide in her as much as she could in Shorty. Not wanting to insensitive, she returned the question, "What about you Mimi?"
Badger with Obsidian
With everything happening so fast, Badger had stayed where he was. From there he watched as Obsidian hobbled to try to talk with another cat. Not being great with socialization himself and feeling for the younger tom, Badger put the tip of his tail gently on Obsidian's shoulder when he came back. "Good try kid," he murmured.
((Next post I do will be a skip to them getting to the new camp, so everyone use your posts to wrap this scene up please <3 ))

Ruby
Ruby blinked, almost taken aback by his sudden orders. She didn’t mind, of course, since he seemed to know so much, but it was a bit weird seeing go from friendly to leaderly. Maybe it was just her.
Nodding, she looked around for a good place to gather some moss and leaves. Spotting a giant, towering tree, she trotted over to its trunk, almost immediately spotting a giant patch of moss growing along the roots and climbing the trunk. Flexing her claws, Ruby picked her way through the roots, making sure not to trip again, and settled in between two moss covered roots.
The she-cat began clawing away a bit to eagerly. Instead of getting large strips still together, she tore up the moss into little bits that clung to her fur. Embarrassed, Ruby shook herself and began to slowly drag her claws through instead. When she had almost too much to carry, she slowly picked her way out and back to the clearing. Hopefully this was enough. Now, leaves. Looking up, she scouted for any low hanging branches she could easily climb up to.
Fortunately, there was one with some soft looking leaves. Scrambling up, she got to the branch and broke off the new sprouting twigs, as well as the stems from nearby leaves. As she got back down, she looked at the forest floor, already littered with relatively fresh leaves. Whoops. ((This is so long and half of it is sooo unnecessary, but I couldn’t stop for some reason. Sorry about that!))

Obsidian
The tom flinched at the touch of Badger’s tail, only to flatten his ears and laugh nervously. Nodding a sort of thanks to the other tom, he quietly waited for everyone to settle so that they could start their trek to the new place Berry and Emiko had claimed they found.
Looking down at his paw, he frowned. He hopes that he won’t slow the group down with his dumb, preventable injury.

Pepper
Pepper fluffed out her fur, feeling a bit awkward by the interaction. She tried to glance an apology to the tom, but he didn’t seem to notice. Instead, she padded over to Shadow and Tawny, flicking her tail in a sort of greeting. ”Is it okay if I travel with you two? I feel silly standing around by myself. I’ll try not to get in your way!”

"Yes, I went out patrolling for new cats," Winchester replied. "I see that you were a bit more successful than me, though," He purred. However, there was one cat he'd been looking out for amongst the crowd - his younger brother, Aezel. Aezel had left to become a kittypet moons and moons ago, but Winchester still held out hope of meeting him again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Smog quickly returned from his hunt with two fresh, fat squirrels, ready to store and eat. He placed the caught prey by their chosen den site, and looked around. He noticed that Ruby had gathered a nice pile of moss, and he nodded, satisfied. Ruby would be a suited forest cat - he knew that much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sure!" Tawny purred. "I'm fine with it, personally."

Ruby
The she-cat swept a few of the fresh leaves into a pile. Noticing Smog’s return, Ruby smiled. The scent of prey filled her nostrils, and although she still wasn’t hungry, she couldn’t wait to dive into something new.
Ruby picked up the moss and put it down into two cat-sized piles. She then took some leaves and scattered them around the sides. It wasn’t the best, but she figured it would work. ”Good hunting! Do these nests look suitable enough?” She smiled, sweeping her tail over her front paws as she sat down.

Ruby
Ruby shrugged, her mouth beginning to water at the scent. ”I wouldn’t say I’m starving, but I could eat!” She gently picked up the squirrel in her teeth, the scent overwhelming her. She forced herself not to bury in as she lay down in her nest. She was hesitant at first, but then took a small bite. Immediately, she was digging in. Only when she had bitten into this food — real food — she realized how empty and hollow her belly really was when she ate her house food.
Finishing the squirrel off eagerly, Ruby smiled and licked her lips. ”That was amazing! I never want to go back to that old dry food.” Then she blinked, realizing she ate that entire squirrel without offering any to Smog. ”Sorry, I guess I really was hungry!”

((No worries..I certainly haven't been posting. Actually I might be sparse until a little after the new year. I'm working from Saturday through Friday in the morning to early afternoon, with a store manager who has been draining my patience, and then after I'll be in the process of moving while celebrating the holidays. ))
Jasmine
"There's still success in bringing yourself back," Jasmine said to Winchester before turning to address the group. "I think it's time we see the home our friends have found. Berry, Emiko, if you would be so kind." The fluffy cat stepped aside to let their friends take the lead. As the group traveled, Jasmine wove the tales their father used speak of. Words of StarClan and the better parts of the code were spoken. Helping others would come first, just as it did now.
Berry
Just as it before, Jasmine's dreams and ideals had Berry filled to the brim with excitement. She could hardly contain herself as she helped lead the others to the beautiful clearing she'd helped find. The ginger stopped when they reached the exact bushes she and Emiko had entered from before. Jasmine had since finished speaking, and Berry took it upon herself to tell her own tale. "On the other side of this bush is it. We found this thanks to a deer who came from here and crossed serenely that way." She gestured to the opposite side of the group with a paw. Proud, she moved to the bush and pulled back some of the foliage. The small cat's gaze swept across the group before landing on their leader. Amber eyes sparkled as she dipped her head in acknowledgement to how Jasmine should be the first to officially enter.
Jasmine
Pride shone through Jasmine as they returned the head-dip and ducked to go through the bush. When they emerged on the other side their breath was taken away. This was indeed the place their vision had taken place in. "Amazing," they whispered as they stood in awe.

I never want to go back to that old dry food.” Then she blinked, realizing she ate that entire squirrel without offering any to Smog. ”Sorry, I guess I really was hungry!” "It's okay," Smog purred, curling up in the second nest as he spoke. "I've seen plenty of cats do the same when they first taste freshly-caught prey, and I'm not that hungry myself, really. After a few moons of eating fresh-kill, you'll never have the urge to eat kittypet food again!" He rolled over onto his back, sighing nostalgiacally. "I certainly didn't."

Emiko
Emiko happily padded along, package of herbs clamped firmly between her teeth. She hadn't managed to collect a lot in the time she had been with the group, but it was a good start. Still, as soon as they were settled she could begin building up her supplies and expanding her knowledge. She listened fondly to Jasmine as they told the stories that had been constants since they started forming the Clan, but Emiko never got tired of hearing about them. She knew that she was probably going to end up as the Medicine Cat Jasmine had told her about and, honestly? She couldn't wait. She adored taking care of others and the thought of being there to bring new kits into the world was exciting. Emiko let her eyes drift over their find as she followed Jasmine in. The tension of the last few weeks seeped out of her and she beamed. It was nice to be home.
Shadow - Pepper and Tawny
Shadow padded towards this new home the whirlwind and her short friend had found, limping just slightly from where he walked between Pepper and Tawny. Something inside him was content for the first time in many moons and somehow he thought that he'd probably end up staying with this rag-tag bunch of misfits looking to make a family. As he emerged into the sun-lit clearing, he couldn't stop a purr rumbling in his chest. "Not bad at all, eh?" He remarked to the two she-cats that he had become attached to, a slight smile softening his serious face.
Mimi and Oliver
Mimi nodded to Pearl and Shorty, but returned to her son's side as they began moving. The fox-coloured tom was keeping a lazy eye on Spirit, but otherwise seemed content to stay at his mother's side. The stories that their strange guide to this world told seemed almost unrealistic, but Oliver could see the hope in his mother's eyes and could only wish with all his heart that they were true. His mother had told him similar tales when he was young an still nursing at her belly, but he never really thought she had believed in them herself, but Jasmine had renewed her faith in their ancestors and Oliver thought that just maybe he was beginning to believe as well.

Ruby
Ruby giggled as she cozied up into her makeshift nest, her jaws parting into a yawn as she looked up at the swaying branches of the trees. The fresh, earthy scents, the soft breeze, and the calming chatter of other animals made her feel at ease. She let out a content sigh as she lay her head on her paws, her eyelids drooping lazily as she began to fall into a relaxing nap.
She cracked open one eye before she slipped into her dreams, looking at Smog. If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t be here. She’d probably still be in her housefolks’ den, eating the same dry food every day, laying around in boredom as her owners went about their day, rarely acknowledging her existance, and staring out into the forest that she never imagined running away to live in.
But here she was, in a pile of moss and leaves, feeling as though for once, she really belonged. Finally shutting her eyes, Ruby slipped quickly into sleep. ((I’m not sure what else I’d be able to do after this point since they’d just be sleeping, so like, if you want we can put these two on hold or maybe like time-skip a bit? I’m cool with whatever lmao))

Pepper
Slowing to a halt beside Shadow and Tawny, Pepper gleamed. ”It looks so lovely! So much room for us all, and maybe even more!” She twirled around excitedly, turning her gaze to Tawny in anticipation of her reaction. When she noticed that the queen seemed a bit hesitant, she paused. ”It seems fairly easy to protect, too. We can always reinforce the brambles...” Pepper muttered aloud, half hoping that Tawny would overhear and cheer up at the thought of being safe.

((I added an extra section to the post with the relations, sort of a recap of things. It has a link to the picture for the camp, but I'll try to describe it as well. Not my best thing to do but...yes I'll try.))
Badger
After following the others through the bracken and ferns, Badger stopped to admire the spacious surroundings. The ground was covered in soft, bright moss. Maple trees scattered around with fern clumps gathered at their bases. He was sure those would provide excellent coverage from inclement weather. From where he stood he could hear the soft trickling of a creek, and looking a little back he could see it curving out from behind a large oak. The roots curved up enough to form an opening. Curious, he strolled over and peaked inside. It was roomy, with various nooks from where the roots dipped and intertwined. A good place to store herbs, he thought.
Pearl & Shorty
The siblings gaped at the clearing. Enthusiastically, Shorty began bounding around and it didn't take long for his sister to chase after him. They stopped here and there to investigate certain spots. Aside from where Berry and Emiko had marked earlier, all scents were stale or weak. For the moment, Pearl felt her anxieties about being away from her Twolegs melt. With a place this big and secure, and protective cats like these..maybe it wouldn't be so scary?
Berry with Emiko
Watching how well everyone reacted to the area, Berry felt pride swell in her chest. She leaned over to Emiko and whispered, "We did good, didn't we?"
Jasmine with Mimi
"A wonderful place to raise a family, don't you think?" Jasmine said as they stood next to Mimi. Noticing the very open area, they did swish their tail slowly. "Of course, we may have to create a den for the nursery." Aside from having a safe and dark place for kits to be born, Jasmine enjoyed the idea of an open camp. Less segregation between ranks, cats being able to pick their favorite spots, it was wonderful. A purr rumbled deep from their throat.

Obsidian
The young tom had swerved a bit away from his rescue group to explore the clearing a bit. Hobbling over to the group of trees, Obsidian sniffed and prodded at every tuft of grass, every fern and bush. He made sure to watch his step, wary of any holes hiding under the dirt.
He made his way over to a huddle of ferns, so big that he could barely see around it. Taking a chance, Obsidian nudged his way in. To his surprise, the inside was more spacious, although some leaves poked out from their natural build. He smiled at his discovery, turning all the way around inside.
Poking his head out, he cleared his throat. ”I think I found a good place to shelter. The ferns are growing a bit in a ring so that the middle is open, all we’d really have to do is trim down the stray fronds and make wind barriers to make it more cozy.” He coughed a little, shrinking back in to investigate his discovery further. ((I hope you don’t mind me giving a little description for a den or something? We can scrap this idea if you already had plans, maybe say that this was too far away or something))

((That's totally fine gooseberry. And a late merry Christmas and happy new year everyone! I'm finding out moving is more draining when you move more than one person and have to keep going up and down stairs with everything..I will continue to be on very rarely I think for the next week or so, depending on if this rain ever lets up.))
Pearl & Shorty with Obsidian
Hearing one of the cats speak up about shelter, Shorty stopped to nudge his sister. They joined Obsidian in the ferns. Pearl's eyes grew as she looked around. "This place is full of surprises," she muttered. Shorty nodded in agreement before turning to the sickly black tom.
"Hey, good job," he meowed. The tabby tom grinned before he began to inspect the ferns and see what work he could do. While he did, Pearl took another look at Obsidian. He still had a collar around his neck, though it looked to be in bad shape.
"Do you want help getting that off?" she asked, paw pointing at his neck. She'd had a few herself, all rejected for not feeling right on her. Eventually she'd gone through so many that her Upwalkers had given up on keeping one on.

((Happy new years guys ^^ My after-Christmas plans took way longer than I expected, but I should be back to being active again.))
Emiko - Berry and Badger
Mouth full, Emiko brushed against Berry, purring happily in agreement. She motioned towards the den in the oak roots that had so called to her earlier, indicating that she was going to begin unpacking her herbs. She was curious to see Badger sniffing around. She smiled warmly as she slipped into her new den, setting her bundle down in the center for now. "It'll do for a Medicine cat den, don't you think?" She purred, peering up at the large tom as warmth settled into her bones. A feeling of belonging was tingling in the back of her mind, infusing her very being with happiness.
Mimi and Oliver - Jasmine
"It is," Mimi agreed softly, tears and happiness in her voice as she looked around the mossy clearing. She inhaled and sent Oliver off with a look. "Jasmine," She murmured, suddenly pressing her head against the younger cat's shoulder, "I know it's early days yet, but thank you." She shook her head, remembering the worry she had felt. Her kits were going to be born into a home that just plain didn't care about them. Their two-legs had just about remembered to feed them lately and Mimi had been worried that they would just turn her and her kittens out onto the street to fend for themselves. Now? Now she had a home, a safe place to have and raise her kits with other cats that seemed genuinely kind and caring. That she knew in her heart would care for them in her place should anything happen to her. "Thank you," She repeated, pulling back to beam at Jasmine, overjoyed.

((𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓵𝔂 𝓬𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓭𝔂 Yes those are highly acceptable!! c: Just jump in how/wherever you see fit. As of now we are slipping into sun down, all the cats currently in the clan are in the home they just found and are settling there. Other than that there is Smog and Ruby settled down in the city, and Eagle is in the forest too I believe. Which, Sparkly if you'd still like Eagle to be deputy he should be with the clan soon, and probably being someone with his stuff together. I think we both forgot about him with the excitement of everyone else.)) Badger with EmikoWhen the spotted cat addressed him, Badger nodded. "Looks perfect," he agreed. He noticed the way she seemed to radiate happiness, through more than just her purring..it was a whole glow coming from her. "You're excited to help cats and grow closer to this StarClan, aren't you?" The concept of dead cats still being able to watch them from above was still something the tom was getting used to, but not something he was ready to shut down. Maybe spending time with more cats who were open to the idea or had connections would help him understand it better. Jasmine with MimiShocked at the sudden close proximity of Mimi, Jasmine stiffened. Sure they were a very open cat who knew little about personal space when it came to fun and games, but emotional situations were different. And the gratitude felt rather emotional to them. Still, they relaxed quickly and returned Mimi's joyous expression. Who would have been able to resist the infectious glee coming from such a wonderful cat? Not Jasmine. "I couldn't have left you and your son to fend for a new litter all alone, especially not in the Twolegplace," they ended up saying. Having grown up on those paths themself, Jasmine knew it was no place to raise kits. After staring at Mimi for another moment, the large cat cleared their throat. "Ahm, I'm going to look around for a place to start the nursery for you and Tawny," they excused before slinking off.

Aphrodite and Apollo || open || Twoleg Place{ ooc ;; tysm! i look forward to rping with you guys }The sun was beginning to dip under the horizon as two Maine Coon siblings watched the evening sky. One was balancing precariously on a fence post whilst trying to groom herself, while her nearly identical brother continued to gaze at the sun. It had been a long, tiring day of lazing around their Twoleg's home, inside and outside. Their routine nowadays was: wake up, eat breakfast, play a little bit, wait to be let outside, go outside for the afternoon until their owners return for the evening, go inside and eat dinner, and finally cuddle with the Twolegs until they fell asleep. There was no change of pace for these two felines and they were comfortable that way. At least that's what Aphrodite says. Apollo couldn't grasp why but he could never agree with her.. something just felt missing. Sure, he enjoy the easy, laidback life he was living, but sometimes things got boring. Especially recently. He and Aphrodite, his sister, haven't been let out much because of recent bad weather. Today was the first time in awhile they were allowed to escape the confines of their home. Apollo was enjoying the cool evening air as well as the colorful sky unfolding before his eyes. He didn't know why, but he'd always been drawn to the sun. A chuckle of amusement left his throat as he caught Aphrodite catching herself from falling off the fence. The molly sent him an annoyed glare before steadying herself and finally deciding that maybe grooming herself atop a thin piece of wood wasn't the best idea. With a tiny huff, the blonde Maine Coon moved over to be closer to Apollo. She followed his yellow gaze to the sky and squinted at the red sun. "How can you stare so intently at that?" She meowed, putting emphasis on that. The tom's gaze only flitted to her for a second, still slightly amused. "You don't look directly at the sun, silly," he teased, earning a swat across the ear. "Shut up." After a couple silent moments, Apollo suddenly asked, "Aphrodite, aren't you.. bored?"The pale feline eyed him oddly. "Right now, yes," she answered, though she looked a tad suspicious. "Why do you ask?"Apollo shook his head, exasperated. He probably worded that wrong. "No, no... I mean, with just our daily routine being so repetitive and stuff.. don't you find it, you know... lack-luster?" Aphrodite was quiet, as if she was contemplating his question. "...kind of," she finally answered, though her tone wasn't very convincing. "But it's comfortable, and I like comfortable." Her blue eyes narrowed a bit. "Don't you? You were the one who slept through the entire morning." Apollo's ears twitched at her retort a little guiltily. "Sorry, I had a hard time sleeping that night." Which was the truth. He often found himself up at night, imagining how things could be different. "Well then maybe you need to go to bed earlier," his sister suggested, suddenly stretching and standing. "Let's go inside. Being outside too much gets to your head." Aphrodite hopped down from the post, beckoning Apollo with her plumy tail. "C'mon." The blonde tom stared after her as she disappeared inside through the cat flap, feeling very irritated and hopeless. He should've known she would've been ignorant as ever. With a heavy sigh, the tom finally leaped off of the fence and followed his sister indoors.Slate || open || Forest{ ooc ;; n/a }
The shadows cast by the trees were growing longer as the sun continued to set, making the slender grey cat's heart beat a little faster. She was still traveling in the forest, trying to find a suitable shelter for the night without much luck. There was cat scent everywhere and Slate wasn't sure if they would be friendly or not - a chance she didn't feel like taking at the moment. Her kits were going to come very soon and she didn't want to get caught in the wrong situation. Not like before. If she had only been careful back then, she wouldn't have been here right now-
Slate stopped herself. There wasn't any point in wishing for things to be different. Right now, she had to focus on finding a hiding place for the night. The night before had turned out to be someone else's shelter and that hadn't ended well. The molly could still feel scratches stinging somewhere in her pelt.
Finally she came across a large, hollowed tree trunk that reeked of decay. It'll hide my scent, Slate thought with satisfaction and she crawled inside. She puffed as she pulled herself in; her large belly made it harder to get places. Soon she was curled protectively around her belly, as if guarding the unborn kits in her belly. She closed her eyes tightly, hoping to fall asleep quickly. In the morning, she would go hunt for herself. She hadn't eaten since the sun had risen.

((I hope Emi's part is alright. The way I'm trying to make it is that StarClan wants a connection to her as the future Medicine Cat, but without a definite Clan and Sacred place to communicate, they can't quite get through to her yet.))
Emiko - Badger
Emiko chuckled, gently nosing her bundle of herbs open and assessing the space around her. She didn't have very many, or very much of those she did have, but she knew her stores would grow with time. "I am very excited," She agreed, putting her small amount of Elder leaves away, "My mama taught me quite a bit about herbs when I was a kit, but since then I've been working some things out on my own." She shook out her fur, turning so she could actually see Badger properly.
"Honestly, if my mama's two-legs hadn't abandoned me when they found out I was blind in this eye," She swiped a paw over her right eye, remembering the trip to the cutter and the harsh tone of their voices over-top of her siblings gentle play, "Then I'd know so much more. With a connection to StarClan, I'll be able to help my new family in ways I've never even dreamed." The thought of being able to be useful, to help bring new life to the world and help hold back death for even a few extra moments, to use the skills she did have, instead of starving and suffering for those she didn't... It was a dream come true.
"What about you, Badger?" She asked, smiling at him as she turned back to her herbs, "You seem a little sceptical about StarClan, but do you think you'll settle in SnakeClan, at least?" Emiko didn't blame Badger for his disbelief. She was pretty sure StarClan had moved in her dreams, though they were cloudy and muffled, but it's not like he had any signs of his own.
Mimi - Jasmine
A small sound of amusement rumbled in Mimi's throat as she watched Jasmine hurry away. Shaking her head, the Queen yawned widely, exhausted from the excitement of the day. She waved off Oliver's concern and instead padded over to a particularly soft area of moss, curling up and setting her head down. Her kits lay heavy in her belly, and she purred deeply as she dozed off. Tonight she'd rest, but tomorrow she'd try and find something she could do to help.

((Ok I think after Eagle is let in we will wrap up the day, that way someone can find Slate and uhhh..𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓵𝔂 𝓬𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓭𝔂 how do you want Aphrodite and Apollo to join? Are they going to go into the forest or should Jasmine come back to look for more recruits?)) Berry with EagleCovered in earth and grass from starting a hole in a slope near the edge of the clearing, Berry had been heading to ask Badger for help when she saw a very new cat standing by the entrance ferns. He seemed reasonably wary of the large group as he spoke, and so the ginger cat approached him slowly. "I'm not sure anyone could be considered intruding here," she told him, a low purr in her throat to show there was zero hostility. She tilted her head, eyes narrowing as she looked him over. "Hey you look tired, why don't you stay here for the night? We all just got together so you'd fit in pretty well."
