((This can either be a build as we go to a clan, or a 1x1 let me know if you would like a 1x1.))
Juniper was stalking a rabbit throughthe dense thicket of trees, her brown fur blending in well with the darkness of the thicket. Her eyes locked onto the unknowingly prey. She licked her lips and grinned as she got ready to pounce. When she saw her chance she took it when the rabbot started to move towards her. She jumped and grabbed the rabbit under her paws and swiftly killing it off with a quick swipe of her paw over the head.

Bug's eyes flitted to the brown she-cat, surveying her for just a moment before casually approaching Juniper, his ears twitching. "Nice catch, you'll have a good meal tonight," He complimented, nodding towards her fresh-kill, then leaning back. "Luck is on your side with that kill, really. I am horrible at catching rabbits. I usually stick with mice and starlings." Bug wondered what Juniper's reaction would be. I'm such a big tough muscular tom, she might get scared, and I'm not the best at comforting or reassuring. I hope I didn't surprise her too much... I need better common sense. My life choices are questionable, I deem it correct. Before he could dive too deep into his feelings on the situation, he looked at her again, not realizing his eyes had averted away whilst thinking.

Juniper jumped up surprised when she saw the tom next to her. Her eyes went wide before she narrowed them. "I will, and thank you. Mice are to easy for me to catch they move much to slow." she told her while her eyes scanned him. Moving from his shoulder's to his tail tip before she nodded after she realised he wasn't going to attack her. "I find it much more fun to go after prey that will give me a run." She told him with a soft laugh. She sat down and curled her tail around her paws. "I didn't realise you were watching me. You are very good with coming up on some cats unaware." She smiled at him.

"For me being such a big cat," Bug chuckled, "That skill is rare. I'm very noisy. I get everywhere. Are you sure?" He smiled back warmly. He was definitely surprised by her controlled response to him, which was unlikely wherever he went. "Anyway, I'm Bug. And what's your name?" Forgetting he hadn't introduced himself, he did so politely.

Juniper lauhed softly. "it is a very helpful skill to have." she told him with a nod. "I didn't hear you come up behind me, I was to into the rabbit to realise that i was being watched. So yes i am sure." She told him with a small smile. "And my name is Juniper, It is very nice to meet you." She lowered her head politly.

Bug tipped his head quickly in response. "I get that. I can't concentrate on anything except staring at prey all day. I'm pretty boring, I have to say. Also, your name is very pretty," He added. "You have brought me motivation to start working on my ambush skills. It could help if someone steals my prey."

Juniper looked away slightly when he said her name was pretty, "Th..thank you..." She mumbled with a soft bashful smile. Shhe smiled brightly when he told her she had brought him motivation. "If you would like... I can help you..." She said tilting her head to the side.

{Sorry for the drop in length, I'm just tired} "I would love that, thank you for offering," Bug decided. He couldn't believe it. She, an amazing hunter, was offering to help him? He had never received such an offer. "We can start later, if you'd like. I'll be a little more prepared to learn some awesome skills."

Juniper smiled with a soft laugh. "That is fine with me." She pushed the rabbit over to him. "Would you like any this to eat?" She asked tilting her head with the question.

Fawn could hear the conversation between the two cats ahead and she wasnt going to approach- cats werent that kind to each othere where she was from and she understood as she got older in life.

"Oh no, I'm alright," Bug declined politely once again, nudging it back to her. "I actually caught a crow earlier, I'm not that hungry anymore." He had realized there was another scent creeping around to him, another cat. Strange, He thought. Is somecat watching us? He shrugged off the thought immediately. No cat would do that, really. Most rogues or loners stuck to their own business, or so he thought.

Juniper perked up when she sniffed out a scent that wasn't her's or bugs. She glared and looked around, "Who's there!" She meowed out. Her eyes scanning the woods around them trying to see who was near by.

Mousedung.Fawn tensed up, unsure of what to do. The cats had caught her. She could still run; her moons of running from territorial cats had gave her that advantage. But as she observed the two cats before, she couldnt see any harm to them. Sighing, she pushed through the bushes and pawed out to the two cats. "Hello".

Post by UnsightlyHeretic831 on Feb 12, 2020 23:21:56 GMT -5
Bug's ears folded back instinctively, but he relaxed and meowed warily, "Hello, who might you be? I'm Bug, and this is Juniper next to me. We probably mean no harm, but it depends on who you are."

Fawn sat down a few cat lenghths away and curled her tails around her paws. Her mother taught her that to approach other cats, you had to act respectful as possible. "Fawn. My name is Fawn and I live in these part of the woods." She replied, making her voice firm and reasonable- there was no need to scare these two after now that she saw them clearly.

Bug nodded. "I live over by Yonder Creek. Is that close to where you live? Your scent is a little familiar. I think I've seen you around, but I don't know. I don't pay that much attention in general," He greeted sheepishly. "Juniper, where is your home located? Anywhere near here, or other cats?"

Juniper shook her head. "Oh no. I actually came from the walkers.." She said sheepishly. "I am out here because i am waiting for them to return to the place where they dwell." She shrugged. "But it gives me enough time to hunt and keep my home safe for my walkers... if and when they come back."
((Sorry for dissapearing, found out my grandad is im the hospital. again for the third time already this year.))

{I'm sorry for that! I won't be on Thursday, I'm turning 11. I'm a little spotty too.} "For a walker cat, you're pretty good at hunting," Bug complimented. "I'm a loner, and I'm not as skilled as you are on that subject. Have you been practicing? You have potential to become independent from walkers with that trusty power." He realized what he was saying when he went on, and began to regret what he said. He sucked at convincing other cats, and most of the time what he was trying to convince them wasn't such a good idea, in one way or another.

Juniper nodded, "Im here for many moons. I haven't been back to my walkers house with other walkers in about two leaf-bares." She told him. "So when my walkers are not here then i am hunting for myself so i need to learn to hunt for my own food." She shook her head. "I know my walkers care for me but lately they have been coming back less and less but i am okay with that ive come to love the woods here." she smiled.

Bug thought about what she had said for a moment. Processing this big information was hurting his peanut brain. "That's weird, but good at the same time. Like, you can run off that cooped up feeling when they're gone in the crisp mornings. I like going for runs, especially in Leaf-fall. I love the sounds of the crunching of the leaves in the quiet." He explained, thinking dreamily about the freedom roaming the fall.

Juniper laughed softly. "I agree with you Bug. And i have a warm bed to curl up in so it's not all that bad. Except having to hunt for my own food but it's getting better day by day. I don't have to eat anything that is soggy unless i catch it and know that it is fresh." She told him with a smile. She had wrapped her tail around her paws as she sat there.

Bug sniffed. "I think my nest is the coziest. No walker bed could beat mine!" He laughed, then also relaxed, laying in a slightly awkward position, smiling a toothy and goofy smile while looking at Juniper. "And yeah, living next to a creek does mean I am driven to catching stinky fish sometimes," He groaned at the thought of biting into the cold, slimy bass in the heat of Green-leaf, always hunched over it spitefully.

Juniper shook her head. "I bet it is." she laughed again. She raised a brow when he groaned. "You okay there?" She asked with a soft smile. "And i can not fish well, I am not a big fan of water." She told him shivering slightly at the thought of water. "Give me a tree to climb and i will climb it but no thank you for water unless it is a must go to go through the water."

"I'm okay at climbing trees, but I swim really well," Bug replied, shrugging. "It's weird, since I'm not that sleek. But I do it anyway. Do you catch a lot of squirrels up there? What do they taste like? I've never had a squirrel before."

Post by lemonpepper on Feb 16, 2020 0:43:24 GMT -5
Juniper grinned at him. "Why don't you taste yourself?" She asked him before disappearing through the brush and quickly up a tree. She froze when she saw a squirrel on a branch above bug and grinned even wider. She crouched down low and got read to pounce. Once the squirrel started t move away from her juniper was able to balance herself on the branch and jump over to the other branch and catch the squirrel with her mouth as she got the branch with her paws. She winced and climbed quickly up and onto the branch. She had a couple small cuts on her paws and one on her side as she climbed down from the tree with the squirrel in her mouth.

Bug had laughed, then watched her intently as she attacked the squirrel. When Juniper came down with the cuts, Bug mewed, standing up, "I have a little bit of experience in medicine, He glanced around, looking for herbs loosely, "I might be able to help you out a little. My mother taught me. First, we need some goldenrod. We'll only need a little. Maybe there's some nearby." Bug began to nose through the bushes, taking gulps of air, breathing in the various scents until he caught the aroma of goldenrod. He followed it closely, indicating with his tail that she should follow him, turning around and waiting for her afterward.

Juniper nodded and followed Bug. "That wasn't my best hunting. Miscalculated how far that other branch was." She muttered through squirrel fur, which made it sound more like, "tha wat m et unt, isalua ar ran wa."

"I think you are speaking the language of our ancestors," Bug replied, moving along to the trail, his eyes darting the following scene. "Do you need willow bark? Does it hurt?" He prodded, turning back to observe her carefully while keeping up with the scent. "Willow bark helps ease pain."

Juniper shook her head to his question about the marigold before walking a bit faster to get next to him and bumped into him playfully while rolling her eyes. "ous un.." (Mouse-dung) She told him shaking her head once again.
((Sorry it's getting shorter, my mind is going blank on everything haha.))

{That's alright! I'm about to reach that point too, so I'm listening to my favorite songs to help me out.} Bug stumbled, then laughed. "Well then we won't have to go another trip to the creek. That would be a long trip, I'll tell you that," They reached the goldenrod, and he began picking some. Before he did, he turned to her again. "You should get comfortable for this," He suggested. "You'll have to stay still and be careful. I need to apply it slowly, because I'm kind of shaky."
