DuskPelt flicked her tail briefly as she considered the encounter with Sakura. "She seems... Unsure of herself. Though I expect that from someone unused to clan life. She seemed awfully eager to not be in camp though" The warrior shrugged, before tasting the air and changing direction slightly. It was only minutes before they emerged into a large clearing. Gentle sunlight filtered through the trees, and a small, clear pool nestled on the far side. Ferns hung heavy over the flattened grass, and, with a purr, DuskPelt bounded forward, basking briefly in the golden rays of warmth.

"In camp I think she feels like a cat cornered by enemies, though she tries to hide it..." Yarrowfur bit his tongue not to make any more judgements of what he barely knew. While Duskpelt basked in the sun he padded over to take a drink from the pool, then joined her under the sunlight with a stretch. He went right from the stretch into a crouch, his eyes narrowing as if he waited for her to attack and start the mock-battle.

DuskPelt watched as YarrowFur got a drink, before joining her. She stretched, and padded around slowly, circling, looking for her best opportunity. While she grew up with the Tom, she couldn't remember ever fighting with him, and therefore was unsure of his tactics. His crouch left her unable to knock him off balance well... After a few moments, she leapt, landing on his back with sheathed claws, keeping her balance easily as she bit into his scruff with a growl.

Wovensight was about to make sure Coalkit was okay when Wishkit began to bat at his paws. The tom grinned and began to stomp around, being careful to not step on the kit. Gazekit squeaked and tumbled off Wovensight's shoulders and rolled to the ground. He got up and began to copy his sister trying to land a blow on Wovensight's paws. Wishkit started to dodge around Wovensight's legs trying to land a hit and knock him over. |

Yarrowfur tossed his head forward in a move meant to yank his scruff out of her jaws. He then sank in his crouch until his belly touched the ground and rolled over to the side, trying to off-balance her. Once on his side he tried to reach a paw to swipe at her, claws sheathed of course, but he couldn't reach her yet while still trying to keep his belly from being exposed. LightBringer |

DuskPelt chuckled under her breathe and adjust her grip, nipping at his leg as he went to reach for her. Her back paws peddled against YarrowFurs spinewitj sheathed claws, before releasing and distancing herself, watching his every move. Her tail twitched aggressively, and her eyes gleamed with mirth and excitement. This had been exactly what she needed, for sure. Her claws worked at the ground, and she hissed softly at the tom, eyes narrowed.

Yarrowfur groaned in annoyance as she won that round with the kicks to his spine. Once he felt her weight jump off of him he ran to gain distance as well and turned. He watched her expectantly like she would make the first move again, his tail lashing back and forth. When she waited for him he jumped forward, feigning high with a pretend swipe over her head before diving low, aiming to kick her paws out from under her.

DuskPelt stumbled, falling for his trick and tumbling off balance. A short yowl of surprise gets cut short as she lands hard on her side,stunning her briefly. Instincts kicking in hard, she squirmed, scrambling, to try to regain her balance and her breath at the same time. |

Wovensight was smiling widely as he felt one of the kits hit his paw and, in the most dramatic way possible, crumpled to the ground and rolled onto his back. "Oh no! They've gotten me!"

Weaselkit had stopped just a few steps away from Wovensight, remembering the cobweb she still had on her ear. Gazekit had treated her and Wolfkit after the first fox-fight, so they couldn't just jump into another battle. Still, she crouched down where she was, lashing her tail and ready to jump in if the "fox" was too strong for Wishkit and Gazekit.
Foxkit watched Wishkit and Weaselkit run towards Wovensight but didn't follow them, unsure of whether he was allowed to join or not. Playing with an apprentice was one thing but a warrior? As friendly as most of the warriors were to the kits, Foxkit still couldn't really talk to them out of fear of being seen as obnoxious, rude or foolish.
Wolfkit padded over to Foxkit and sat down next to him to watch the others trying to take down the "fox".
Rainsong purred when he saw Wishkit and Gazekit "fight" Wovensight. He watched for a while, then he slowly made his way to the camp's entrance. Since there was plenty of prey on the fresh kill pile there was no need to hunt this time and he could just wander the territory again.
Darkclaw watched Wovensight and the kits while Adderheart walked over to the fresh kill pile. The brown tabby she-cat sat down near it and glanced towards Turtlepool and Heronflight every now and then. Maybe she would take some fresh kill to them later, unless one of the apprentices would do so.
Cenra had finished her vole and now she was venturing deeper into... WhateverClan's territory. Maybe she would hunt some more or maybe she would just have a look around. She had entered the clan's territory often enough but usually she would stay close to the border. But the more often she came here the more curious she got. Just what makes this place so special?, she wondered, still having a hard time understanding why those cats were so territorial.
(Yikes, it's way past 1 AM here already. Logging off for now.)

Gazekit jumped back as Wovensight fell. Someone had made contact with his paws. He rolled away from the body of the warrior unsure what to do next.
Wishkit jumped on top of the warrior as he fell. She tried to pin him down where he was and batted at his face with sheathed claws.

( Pineclaw im gonna have Sakura bump into Cenra as she tries to find where Yarrowfur and Duskpelt went training. I think it would be interesting for them to met now.) Sakura turned as she caught the scent of Yarrowfur and Duskpelt. She headed along the trail, but she didn’t rush. She knew they might not be very happy if she joined them, cause she told them that she would stay in camp. So she decided to wander if the trail for a bit, making sure she didn’t go so far that she lost it completely. Eventually she came across another scent, one that didn’t smell like clan cat. She followed it, forgetting about Yarrowfur and Duskpelt, until she came upon she-cat. Sakura padded behind the she-cat for a bit, deciding whether this cat was a threat or not. |

Wovensight saw Foxkit and Wolfkit watching out of the corner of his eye and suddenly rose to his paws, being careful to not hurt the two kits who were already crawling on him. "Rawr! It will take more than just you two to bring me down!"

Yarrowfur gave a gentle swipe against her flank just to prove that as she was unbalanced she was vulnerable. When she was stunned he stepped back to give her space to get up. "Are you alright?" he watched her flailing and squirming to get her balance with an amused purr.

At Wovensight's challenge Foxkit jumped to his paws and raced towards his friends and the "fox". For a second he considered pretending to be scared at first, like he had when they had fought Honeypaw, but decided against it. Joining the fight right away was way more fun. Upon reaching the warrior Foxkit slowed down, ducked and shot forward, aiming for Wovensight's legs to knock him off balance but not with enough force to accidentally hurt him. Wolfkit yipped when Wovensight declared that two kits weren't enough to bring him down. He ran after Foxkit, more slowly and came to a halt next to Weaselkit. The gray-and-white tabby hissed at the "fox". He lashed his tail and tried to look as menacing as he could.
Weaselkit was still looking for the right moment to jump at Wovensight and that chance came when Foxkit barrelled into him. With a yowl she jumped, hoping she would land on the warrior. Cenra kept looking at her surroundings as she explored that clan's territory, trying to find out what made it worth of defending. Some places were nice to look at, it seemed like quiet a bit of prey could be found and it generally seemed like a good place for large group of cats. It still was strange that those cats claimed all this as their own. And Cenra was pretty sure that badgers or foxes didn't really care what the cats said. Or did the clan cats walk up to the predators, tell them this was their territory and ask them to leave? No, probably not. It was an interesting mental image, though. Still, how big was this weird group that it needed such a big territory?
Too busy pondering these things Cenra didn't notice the cat that was behind here at first. She scented the air and sure enough, there was someone nearby. The calico cursed at herself for not noticing sooner. But why hadn't that cat really acted yet? She was far enough from the border that the clan cats surely would have challenged her by now, either demanding what she was doing her or chasing her away. Steeling herself for a possible confrontation she suddenly stopped and spun around, facing the cat that was following her.

(( seems like a lot has happened lol, what's going on? )) Quite a bit. But to make things short: Two loners joined ThymeClan. One is Malvina (Wovensight's sister, who was stolen by a loner when she was a kit) and the other one is Sakura. Thymestar has allowed both of them to join the clan.
Cats who aren't in camp right now: Duskpelt and Yarrowfur (battle training), Sakura, Rainsong and of course Nightwhisker and Silverpaw. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. Everyone else should be in camp. I was going to suggest that Palepaw and Honeypaw could interact with their mentors now but Wovensight is busy playing with the kits xD

( Pineclaw ) Sakura watched as the she-cat spun around to face her. She sat down, not necessarily knowing what to do in these situations yet. She remembered that when Basilwhisker found her, he had asked what she was doing on Thymeclan territory. So Sakura gave it a try. “What are you doing on Thymeclan territory?” She said it more to herself, but loud enough that the she-cat would most likely answer her. |

Cenra looked the she-cat over. She had never seen her before but then again she had only ever seen some cats of, what did that cat call it?, Thymeclan. Still, it seemed like the one in front of her was a little inexperienced in dealing with outsiders. For a moment Cenra wondered if she should just play dumb and pretend she hadn't noticed that she was one Thymeclan territory. But unless that clan cat was particularly stupid she would see through that lie immediately. So instead she told the truth. Or part of it at least. There was now need to confess to hunting on their territory just yet. "Having a look around to see what all the fuss is about. Your clan is awfully protective of these parts of the forest. Very serious about their borders." She observed the she-cat, ready to run or fight if necessary, but there still was some curiosity in her eyes. "I haven't seen you before, though. You're really part of that clan?" |

( Pineclaw ) “Yeah, tell me about it,” Sakura mewed with a chuckle. “They act as though it’s a kit needing to be cared for all the time.” She knew she wasn’t supposed to talk about her clan like that, but what were they gonna do if they found out? Send her away? She huffed and then mewed, “Eh, I wouldn’t count myself as a full clan member, but I’m sure they would. My names Sakura, by the way. What’s your name?” |

Cerna couldn't help laughing at the disrespect this cat seemed to have for her clan. "You're an interesting one. What would your clanmates say?" At her next words she nodded to herself. Ah, that made sense. "I'm Cenra," she replied. "So you're saying that you're new to the clan and they're not really your home just yet? Or..." she lowered her voice and grinned "or you're not that serious about them?" |

( Pineclaw ) “Umm, both. Their rules and stuff doesn’t really make sense and yeah, I just joined them. I thought I could poke some fun at them from the inside. And I think my clanmates would say that, yes I am one of them. But I think they know I’m not comfortable yet.” Sakura laughed along with Cenra. She knew at this point she was supposed to have driven this cat from the territory or something, but Cenra probably wouldn’t listen to her anyway. “So, I think that maybe you should go? I don’t want them to find out that I talked to you. I could get in trouble.” She said this, but she knew that even if they did find out, she could handle the punishment. |

Cenra blinked in surprise as Sakura confirmed her suspicion and gave a quiet chuckle. That cat knew how to lead a fun live, that's for sure. "Interesting days ahead for Thymeclan, I see." When Sakura told her that she should probably leave she narrowed her eyes, just stood still for a while and then nodded. "I probably should, huh? Can't ruin your 'friendship' with them just now." If this had been any other clan cat Cenra would have either left by now or challenged them but this Sakura was different. Her attitude towards the clan was something else and Cenra wondered just what this cat would do. So yes, this time she would do as suggested. "If anyone scents me you can tell your clan that you drove off that 'border-disrespecting' cat," she half-joked. "How about a quick scuffle before so you have proof and can gain their respect? I'm kidding of course but really, if anyone asks tell them you chased me off. They'll know who you're talking about."

( Pineclaw ) “Ok,” Sakura mewed with a grin. “Thanks, I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to know that you were here.” She turned to leave, but stopped and looked over her shoulder, “I hope I see you around.” Then, she darted into the bushes and continued to follow Yarrowfur and Duskpelt’s trail, hoping they weren’t done training yet. She still wanted to get a glimpse of their scuffle. And soon enough she came to a clearing and spotted Yarrowfur and Duskpelt in the center. She crouched in the bushes and watched. |

Cenra dipped her head and turned to leave. "Oh, I'm sure I'll run into you again," she purred. "I have to know how much trouble you stirred up for the poor clan." With that she made her way back to the border where she had entered their territory, moving at a quick pace this time. She hadn't really learnt much about how those clan cats thought about pretty much anything and she hadn't caught anything aside from that vole she had caught earlier. Still, today's exploration had been more fun than she would have expected. Once she was outside of Thymeclan territory she kept walking for a bit. Usually she would stay right behind the border but today she would choose a spot a little further away from it, not wanting to cause trouble for Thymeclan's newest addition. Not that she hated the clan but she absolutely loved the thought of Sakura having fun at the clan's expense.

Wishkit reared as her friends came racing forward. "We can do this. For Thymeclan" she shouted and went back to trying to attack the warrior. Surely five cats could take down one fox.
Gazekit stepped back as Foxkit barreled into Wovensight wanting to be out of the way in case the warrior fell. He planned to dodge between the warriors legs and attack his belly if he did fall.
