Return

[rainheart]

Rainheart saw the warming moment. She didn't want to interrupt, but kindly she asked, "Do you to know each other?"

[sapho]

Sapho watched curiously as the blind cat swiveled her ears to pinpoint the exact location of the particular cat speaking.

"Hello Blindsong my name is Sapho. I come from a canyon northwest of here, from a tribe of desert cats known as margays."

He paused and waited for the calico cat to turn his direction.

[Brighteye]

Brighteye was slightly shell-shocked. She didn't want to talk for fear of confusing the blind warrior, who seemed to focus on voices. But her attention seemed limited to Jadekit.

[Onyxdart]

((OOC: As I remember poor Warfox. I like... forgot about him or something.))

Warfox had found the main camp. But he'd stayed outside, on the boundaries and upwind so they wouldn't realize he was there. He wanted to get used to these cats before they saw him.

That, and he was what you might call "socially awkward". After watching the cats for a little bit, the orange warrior finally decided he had made a good decision in wanting to join a clan and stepped quietly into the main camp. He didn't announce his presence by making any noise- being very quiet was something he did very well- he simply sat, tail curled around paws, appearing totally and completely sure of himself. And not threatening. That was the last of a things he wanted to be just now. He shifted his front paws just a tad awkwardly, though he told himself he was just trying to sit comfortably. Yeah, right.

((Gotta get used to writing him. I write long sentences...))

[Brighteye]

Brighteye noticed the orange cat shuffling quietly in the background. Casting one last glance at Blindsong and Jadekit, she padded over.

Hello, the red warrior said with her customary smile I am Brighteye. What's your name?

[Onyxdart]

The orange cat blinked as the warrior came to say hello. He inclined his head in return.

"Warfox... Nice to meet you," he answered politely, with a small smile.

[rainheart]

Rainheart also noticed the orange tom." 'scuse me a minute," she replied to the 2 cats. She padded over to the tom. "Well hello there. What's your name?And story?" she asked with a smile.

[Onyxdart]

"I'm Warfox," the tom answered the next cat who came and greeted him. He glanced at the ground a moment, not sure he wanted to tell a stranger his story. Maybe the short version. Probably he'd have to tell the whole thing eventually. But not now, not when he was having a happy time, belonging to a clan again. Why ruin this happy meeting with a sad story? No, that wouldn't do.

"My clan's gone. So I came here. I missed living in a clan," he said after a moment with another half grin to cover the moment of uncertainty. He was still following his old ways- don't show your weaknesses to anyone, even your own clan. Or maybe he'd just made up this rule... who could tell?

[Bovine]

Jadekit's ears turned to an area behind her. A new cat!? How exciting!
She did not hesitate to all but fly in the tom's direction. When getting about a couple taillengths away, she unsheathed her claws, trying to stop herself, claws scraping the stone as she slid. Needless to say, she didn't exactly have a graceful stop, tumbling head over paw and landing WHUMP! Straight into the newcomer.
She shook her head, large kit-ears making a flopping sound against her face. She was upsidedown, rump leaning againt the tom's side. She looked up at him and gave him a bright smile, friendly and innocent.
Hello!

They say first meeting someone is awkward. Indeed.

[sapho]

"Hello Warfox," The spotted cat mewed, "My name's Sapho. My tribe was wiped out also, Welcome."

occ: sorry it's so short

[Brighteye]

Brighteye asessed the stranger called Warfox. He looked nervous and bewildered, but was valiantly trying to compose himself. Chuckling softly, Brighteye helped Jadekit off of hi and allowed him to stand. But she noticed healed scars under his fur that spoke of many battles as she got closer, and wondered what indeed his story was.

[Onyxdart]

Almost before he could asses that the excited bundle of fur racing towards him was indeed a kit, young one had executed a stop by toppling right into him. Warfox was, indeed, a bit bewildered, but he was also amused.

"'Lo there!" he replied with a grin as Brighteye helped the kit up. Then he turned back to Sapho.
"Nice to meet you," he replied, for the moment looking much easier around the cats then he had before he'd been collided with by the exuberant little kit.

Spellbound followed Jadekit over to the newcomer at a much more sedate pace. No use in runnin' around like a headless chicken- and when Spellbound ran into people, it was more like a running tackle. He sat by Sapho and flipped his tail thoughtfully as he watched the new tom for a moment with a steady gaze. When the newcomer met his gaze evenly, Spellbound grinned to show he'd just been being weird again and meowed a hello.

"And I'm Spellbound," he said with a half bow- since he was sitting it wasn't the easiest thing. Then he grinned wider and nodded towards the rock.

"And that rock is actually a rabbit," he announced.

[Brighteye]

Brighteye giggled. Yes, and there are cloud horses in the sky! The orange cat looked astonished at this revalation.

OOC: Can't seem to post well these days.

[sapho]

Sapho smiled,

"It seems like this is a very unusual place where rocks and clouds turn into various animals, Mostly rabbits and horses."

He paused thinking to himself, I wonder if that rabbit tastes good?

[Bovine]

Jadekit could see the thoughtful look on Sapho's face and almost emediately seemed that she could tell what he was thinking. She leaped up and scampered over to the Rock Rabbit, seeming to block it off from the tom with her body, tiny tail fluffed up in mock severity. She spoke in an equally mocking suspicious tone.
But our stone and cloud friends are not to be gnawed upon lest we anger their StarClan. For their wrath shall rain upon us like hail in a tempermental summer storm!
She feined fainting, covering her face dramatically with the back of a paw, her other paw cluthing her chest where her heart was located, a measured exasperated sigh escaped her.

[Brighteye]

Brighteye struggled not to laugh. We sure wouldn't want to anger any sort of Starclan! She stopped. Wait, what is Starclan?

OOC: Poor Brighteye, she doesn't have a clue!

[Bovine]

Jadekit's ears perked up with a flash, head following suit. She gasped loudly, as if someone had run into her.
You dont know what StarClan is!?
She was dumbfounded, she had thought that, of course, all cats knew of their warrior ancestors, no matter what their origin.

[Onyxdart]

Warfox arched both eyebrows and focused his gaze on Brighteye. She didn't know what Starclan was? The orange cat was clearly a little surprised, but not in a scornful way. He had taken for granted growing up knowing Starclan, he guessed.

Spellbound laughed, a low purr. He grinned at Brighteye, plopping down on his haunches next to her. Then he turned to Jadekit.
"I don't know this Starclan either. Perhaps you'll fill us in?" he asked the kit.

[Blindsong]

Maintaining her peace, the motherly calico merely settled down, her auds swiveling every time another cat spoke up. She didn’t mind being left out – after all, she was pleased to just have the company of her clan mates around her.

That was all the peace the she-cat needed from life.

Soon she would have to leave this scene, return to her little ones, and Blindsong breathed in a breath of air, rich and full of the others’ scents.

Ah, this was perfect.

[Bovine]

Jadekit smiled brightly, she lived to tell stories, explain things. It was great fun. Just as she was about to start speaking, a gust of wind buffeted her side, sweeping her up for a moment. She shivered, remembering just how cold it was.
I'll tell you all as soon as I can find someplace warm.
she giggled, looking around. For a crack in the stone wall, a warm bit of moss, anywhere out of the cold.
Maybe the nursery?
