Xenia smiled when Sunny talked about his own struggles. It made her feel a bit better about asking for help like this. "I'm not very successful with hunting birds. They fly away quickly and I can never figure out which direction they are going to go until they are off the ground." She tried to bury the feelings of regret for acting the way she did at a simple question. It wouldn't do any good to dwell too much on it at this point. She tried force herself to think of hunting, and her mind wondered to the river in the opposite direction. There must be fish in that river, even if she has never made an attempt at trying to catch them. "What about fish? I've might have eaten a raw one before? If I did I don't remember" She had plenty of cooked fish, though that was a long time ago and she had to be careful on making sure it was recently tossed out by a two-leg. It wasn't common enough for raw fish to be tossed out for her to remember if she had eaten some or not.

(If you want me to change it to where he doesn't notice her wording, just let me know. I don't mind)
Sunny was quick to shake his head. "You won't catch me getting my paws wet." He told her with a slight grin, his tone was casual, but he was being serious. He didn't fancy the idea of drowning for some she-cat. Even getting wet was something he had no interest in. He found himself getting irritated again- he agreed to help this cat and yet here she was being picky as can be. He resisted the urge to snap at her, it wasn't worth the trouble. He took a moment to gather himself, making sure his irritation didn't find it's way to the surface as he spoke. "So that's something I can't really help you with." Instead of moving on however, he decided to use this as an opportunity to ask her more questions. "Where in the world would you have found a fish to eat?" He asked, tilting his head. He had never even had raw fish at the twoleg-place, slop that twolegs gave him and thrown away twoleg food was common, but never an actual fresh, raw fish. "Don't tell me your a lost clan cat." He added, more as a joke, picking up his pace again to find some prey. However, he then thought about what she said, taking her wording into account. "So what does it taste like?" He asked, trying to not smirk as if he had caught her, instead, he turned his head and gave her a look of pure curiosity. "You know, fish that isn't raw? Twoleg food."

(Ya, Xenia is currently bothering Sunny atm lol)
(I'm fine with him noticing)
"Oh. That's fine, I don't want to force you to do anything." Xenia shook her head, hoping that Sunny knew that she really didn't mind if he didn't want to teach her. "I'll have to experiment on my own later. I can catch one for you to try as well if you want." that is, if she was successful in her attempts.
"I am glad I'm not a lost clan-cat" Xenia joked back, debating in her head about actually talking about what two-leg fish tastes like. She would rather leave than actually talk about it. Her tail flicked a bit from side to side, weighing on either talking about it or trying to avoid it. I guess she really didn't have to go into too much detail here, she could just give enough so she could quell his curiosity. Maybe this would make up for brushing him off earlier. "I had two-leg fish before I joined the group, where I learned how to scavenge rather than hunt." She spoke slowly, trying to phrase her sentences best she could without going too far into what she didn't want to talk about "It's a bit dry, not anything like the fresh-kill out here. It's also salty." Xenia paused for a second, wondering if Sunny would understand. She barely understands and honestly couldn't think of a good way to describe 'salty'. "The two-legs put all sorts of things on it, like a bunch of leaves for some reason."

(He brought it upon himself tbh lol)
Sunny nodded as she spoke, feeling a tad less annoyed now that she was opening up. He hated unanswered questions, and she left him with many. He simply wanted to pry more into the details of her life, he just couldn't help it. Information was one of the most powerful weapons a cat could have. A single word could change the course of a battle, turn a cat that was once an enemy into a friend and make other's gather around and adore you. "I see." He said, not really caring for her actual answer, he was well aware of the crow food that twolegs ate. "So, you must have grown up in a twoleg place then." He said casually, his ears flickering as he listened for the sound of prey. He waited a moment before speaking again. "There's no shame in that, you know. Use what you've learned to your advantage. Some cats that grew up out here in the wild may be able to hunt, but you are better at other things. Avoiding monsters, knowing if prey is safe to eat and maybe a thing or two about dogs and twolegs. Skills are skills regardless of where they come from." He told her gently, hoping that would cause her to lower her guard a little.

"The bear continued looking and eating whatever food it could find before turning around and looked at me and my mentor. I remember staring at the beast thinking it may attack. However, the bear let out a snort and lumbered off. Nothing happened but seeing that bear scared me to death." Wolfstar said. He was about to say more until a familiar scent drifted to his nose.
He turns seeing Windstep and quickly rises to his feet. "Windstep!"
Rock and Thorn see the intruder and race over. Amber notices this and follows after them. "Who are you?" Thorn growled getting up in Crystal's face. Rock stood next to Thorn hoping to intimidate the younger cat.

Patchkit's eyes widened even further at Wolfstar's tale "I wish I could meet a bear!" she said. She looked, up when Wolfstar paused his story. She looked at the strange cat that had waltzed into camp. "Who are you?!" Patchkit asked, running circles around Windstep.
Windstep looked at the small kit "Calm down, I'm Windstep" he said. "Hey Wolfstar, I heard you guys got attacked by the rouges? Sorry I couldn't come earlier, I had, buisness to attend to" he said, twitching his tail.

"Your BROTHER!" Patchkit yelled "I didn't know you had a brother!" she said, trying to leap onto Windstep,Windstep stepped to the side letting Patchkit crash to the floor. Patchkit sprang to her paws shaking off the dirt, she narrowed her eyes at Windstep "What buisness? Was it...... killing other cats!" she gasped. Windstep took a step back "What?! Why would you say that!? Jeez Wolfstar, I feel sorry for you, this one is quite the handful" he said.

Xenia nodded a bit, unconsciously. She thought about the things that Sunny mentioned and she started to question why he knew so much. "You seem really well versed in two-leg places. I assume you've lived in one before?" She phrased the last part as a question, for all she knew Sunny only picked these things up from other cats he knew and not by personal experience. Maybe it was the kittypet friend he knew that told him about what life there was like. She let out a small "mm" in agreement about the skills. She was decent at running away at least, probably something she wouldn't nearly be as good at if she went from being a kittypet right to being part of the group here. "If you did, you probably had more run ins than me, it felt like dogs were everywhere" Xenia laughed a bit, hindsight made the feelings around those encounters a bit duller so it felt easier to bring them up in a more lighthearted manner. Joke about getting chased by dogs to her back then-especially when she first started to live on her own-and she would have been shocked that someone could laugh about such an experience.

Swiftfox pushed away the leafs and the bushes. As she crept towards the camp entrance, with moss, and slightly vines and small sticks digged into her pelt. Her clean pelt was dirty with leafs. Covering up her scent. She let out a groan. What a pain, I didn't expect for trees and thorns to snag in my way. All for Patchkit, stupid thorns! Swiftfox hissed under her breath. When she tried returning camp, she got dangled into some trouble. There was thorns sticking in her palms. It was hard to regonize her, she grabbed on the big squirrel tightly, and reached the camp entrance to go through it.

Name: Rushingwater Physical Description: smoky dark gray blue-ish colored tom, with diamond shaped markings on his left side of his body, and one on his fore-head With saggy ears, and a well-cleaned pelt. With unusual big paws, and long tail with shaggy fur. With a plumed tail, with very dark turquoise eyes. Pelt and face are covered in brutal battle-scars. Age: (In moons): 34 Personality: loyal, fearless, daring, negative, angry, evil (He is half-faced, so he has these "anger-issues" and mostly would kill any cat who stands in his way, or interferes with him) Rank: Warrior Crush: (OPEN TO ANY CRUSHES Mates: (OPEN TO ANY MATES) Family: (OPEN TO ANY FAMILY MEMBERS) Background: Rushingriver is clan-born, he enjoys spending his time alone and relaxing near water. He has a unusual ability to catch fish, he uses his big front claws to scrap the fish from the river. He tends to enjoy fish rather than any prey. He loves adventuring, he is very hunter .But he isn't rather so good at fighting unless if it's "life to death". He will act immediately and will take force to kill. He focuses more on his warrior duties or be the next deputy. But he'll feel more jealous of the deputy.And leave the camp for a bit. Hoping nobody will notice his absence. But sometimes he wished he could've been deputy, but he wasn't chosen. So it made him provoked and jealous, hoping to kill off the deputy some day to be chosen as deputy. He trains by himself, to one day attack the deputy and kill them. And be deputy, blood-thirsty for being the next leader. By killing them off too. He has a strong hatred for Mudfoot. ✦ GreatSwiftFoxz太阳的✦ |

Rushingwater stood alone in the camp, as he carefully took a step back and glanced at Swiftfox. Her fur was ruffled. Rushingwater gave a scornful laugh. "Did you take a dive in thorns?" Rushingwater sneered. Swiftfox flatten her ears, and dropped the dead squirrel."No, I went out to hunt. Mind you're own business" Swiftfox murmured in embarrassment. She shifted her paws. Rushingwater sensed what she was feeling and take what she felt for granted. "Petty catch, that's kit-food. You might as well feed that to somebody less their own size. I'd feed that squirrel to fish!" Rushingwater laughed. Fury burned through Swiftfox, as she bared her teeth. "YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO! Fish-breath!" Swiftfox snarled, realizing her words without regret. She picked up her squirrel, and ran among the camp for Patchkit. Rushingwater hissed silently, and stalked away looking for the cat he was targeting. Mudfoot.

Patchkit turned to see Swiftfox trotting towards her. "Hey! Did you bring me food?" she said, bouncing up to her. She took a look at Swiftfox's paw, "I think you got a thorn in there" she said, sniffing the foot.

Swiftfox dropped the squirrel, overwhelmed to Patchkit's approach. "I'm fine, don't worry. I came by to drop this off for you" she used her front fore-legs to push the squirrel to Patchkit.

"Oh that's cool. So were you killing cats?" Patchkit asked, gulping down her bite of squirrel "I already told you, NO!" Windstep said sternly to the kit. "Then what were you doing?" Patchkit asked, leaning towards Windstep. "I was taking care of my kits ok! And I do need to speak with you about that Wolfstar" he said.

Sunny kept up his pace as the white she-cat spoke. “I just passed through a few here and there, that’s how I met my friend I was talking about.” He lied casually, not missing a beat as he made up a new tale about his past. “I much prefer it out here, the twoleg places were always dirty, everyone seemed out to get you as well. Can’t say I was much of a fan when I had to be there.” He added, not completely lying this time. He did prefer the forest, but that was just because it was less boring. You aren’t having to sit around and hear cats complain all day, or shower you with empty compliments in the hopes of becoming close to you. He couldn’t help but think of his true past at the twoleg place. As leader, there were many cats who saw him as a convenience, a threat and a king. So many fake smiles and expressions that would stare up at him, begging for advice, food or protection. So many loyally fought for him when he didn’t even ask them to. Fools, all of them. He hadn’t even been that good at leading, it had been a chore to him. He did well when he actually tried but that did little to satisfy him. When it became too much of a bother, he had just sat there and watched it all burn around him, ignoring the advice of Eve and Lucas to salvage what he could. Even when he decided to leave, he had felt nothing. But here was different, it was new and interesting.

Larksong was glad for the change in topic, nodding eagerly to Mudfoot's question. "Of course!" She answered with a purr, her tail swishing up some settled dirt as she shifted her body. "I'm still getting used to being a warrior but I can hardly wait to mentor an apprentice." She told him. It would still be a while, six more moons of waiting to even become eligible to be a mentor, but she already made a point to help the apprentices whenever she could. The she-cat glanced over the the kits that were gathering around Wolfstar, smiling as she recalling doing the same thing when she was younger. "I hope that I get to tell my apprentice amazing tales; happy ones though." She added, looking back to Mudfoot; the battle and Eaglepaw's disappearance were not stories she ever wished to tell. That was for sure. Mudfoot smiled at Larksongs answer, “a good mentor is a cat who wants to do it!” He mewed happily for her. He had noticed the cats that wanted to mentor were great at mentoring, even those who aren’t excited to mentor still do a good job. But when they are passionate about it they have a better relationship with the apprentice which turns into success most of the time. “You will, and it might be a good story later on. Of course if we save him..” he trailed off and glanced around the camp, “we keep getting to that subject, besides that Patchkit is dying to be an apprentice which will be happening soon.” He mewed informatively, unknowing if Larksong already knew that. |

"Really?" Larksong asked excitedly, taking the time to glance toward Patchkit, seeming unworried about Windstep despite having no idea who he was. If Wolfstar was fine with the strange cat, she saw no need to question the tom's appearance within the camp. "They're still so tiny and cute. I'm jealous of whoever gets to be their mentor." Larksong purred, "who do you think will be their mentor?" She asked the deputy, kneading the ground as she spoke, unable to contain the excitement that she had. She always loved apprentice and naming ceremonies; they were always happy events and left everyone in a good mood after. She could still recall her own, she had been so proud when she finally had a mentor.

(LMK if anything I put about the group in the city clashes with anything you had planned. I don't mind changing my posts)
"I have to agree, I like it out here better as well." When Xenia had first left the two-leg place she felt lost and scared thinking of what her life would be like. She wasn't fully kicked out, per say, it was at least partly her own decision to leave. She could tell that there was rising tension against cats who were just wanting to be protected. There were plenty of group members, especially cats who had sided with Leon during the rebellion, that saw cats like her as burdens and the reason the fight happened in the first place. Because of this, Xenia left soon after the rebellion was over, and for a while she missed the loud noises of that place. Now that she was in the forest, she enjoyed how quiet it could get, or how loud it could be when it rained. Even if she was asked to go back, at this point she probably wouldn't. "It was way too loud, too much going on at once. It's calmer out here, even with the war against the clan"

(Ok can someone pls respond to Crystal aka Twitch bursting into the rouges? I'll repost it as well)
Her paws thundered against the ground, she hadn't run like this in forever! She felt the wind slide against her silver face. I'm finally free! she thought. She stopped running, she turned to look back at her housefolks house. They were standing outside it, yelling her name "Crystaaaaaaaaaal!" they yelled.I HATE that name, why do they make me sound so pampered Crystal thought, her tail lashing back and forth. The young she-cat openened her mouth to breath in the scents of the forest. Her tail twitched, she smelled other cats. She followed the scent until looking upon what looked like a camp. Taking no time to think she bounded right into the Rouges lair. "Hello I am, errr Crystal! Though I need to change that name!" she yelled.

(Basically he got into leadership at the urge of Eve and kind of Lucas because he was giant and a good talker- so they knew it would be easy living. He had a decent amount of cats that actually liked him as leader just because of how charming/scary he could be. He didn't really care for his group and was pretty lazy and selfish when he wasn't feeling motivated (like 80 percent of the time he did nothing but hang out and sometimes plant seeds of drama and stuff. I imagine he's clever enough that when he actually lead he was pretty good at it though) which resulted in Lucas trying to take his position. He saw it as an opportunity to leave so he just peaced out. Eve is dead Lucas is unknown so feel free to do what you want with that)
Sunny was only partially paying attention to what Xenia was saying, he was mostly focusing on whether it was worth even trying to hunt at this point. Their talking was scaring any prey anyways so he didn't see a point in trying to catch anything; he wasn't even hungry to begin with. "Yeah, there's monsters and dogs everywhere. Many sleepless nights I imagine." He said casually, deciding that he didn't want to keep aimlessly wandering around. "How about we good sit in the sun over there?" He asked, stretching out his body, his large claws digging into the earth before he stood up straight again. "Might as well chat there, maybe I could show you a stalking technique or two. Any mouse would be long gone by now with all this talking." He explained, deciding it was probably in his best interest to actually so her something in regards to hunting. He had an image to uphold after all. Besides, maybe she would be so grateful that she would bring him back a mouse or vole anytime she decided to hunt. Sunny wasn't one to say no to an easy, free meal.
