A young Birman she-cat padded moodily through StealthClan territory, although she thought she was in RisingClan. She called, wordlessly, but no answer.

"Hello!" Sandpaw called, circling a rock then finally leaping onto it so she could see better. "Is this RisingClan?" Her yowl rang out clearly and her firey voice was filled with frustration. Finding Sealpaw would be no picnic.

[Sunsetfire]

“I’m sorry young one, but you are far from the Risingclan territory.”

The golden leader stepped out of the underbrush. He hadn’t been hiding there, but been using it as a screen as he traveled through his territory, patrolling the boundaries for a little while.

Of course, there were warriors who could do it instead of him, but it wasn’t as if Sunsetfire really minded the work.

Kept his mind off things.

Or a certain cat.

"Oh," Sandpaw meowed, sounding both hurt and confused. "Well, could you point me in their directi-" The young Birman she-cat was cut off by a thought. Perhaps she could rest with these cats - if this tom did indeed have a Clan - until she felt well enough to set off again? She did feel tired and hungry, and resting in a nest made of thornbushes had not made her feel to good about life - as she had done on the way here from OceanClan territory.

"What is your name?" the Birman asked suddenly. "Do you have a Clan? Could I stay with them?" Questions flowed out like a river, but she finally stopped by realizing she had a hairball. She coughed and spit it up, made a face, then looked back up at the golden tom. "Sorry."

ooc ; Dun worry; she's staying ^^

[Sunsetfire]

“I am Sunsetfire, leader of Stealthclan.”

The golden tom just had to laugh at the young female’s sudden burst of questions, his tail flicking lightly against the ground. It was apparent that he wasn’t laughing at her, but at some rather odd thought crossing his mind.

“And yes, you are welcomed to stay with us as long as you so desire.”

Another tail flick, and the tom shook his head as she apologized.

“There’s no need for such. Come, I’ll show you the way to camp.”

[sand]

"Oh, thank you!" Sandpaw meowed gratefully. Perhaps she would stay with StealthClan...permanently? Well, the first step would be to tell Sunsetfire her name. "I am Sandpaw." Feeling daring, she asked another question. "You haven't seen a Sealpaw around, have you?"

Her paws kneaded the ground before she burst into action, leaping ahead of Sunsetfire then realizing she didn't know the way. She sat, a bit tired after that short outburst, and waited for the golden tom.

[Sunsetfire]

“A Sealpaw? No, I don’t believe there’s such a creature or cat here.”

He easily caught up with the young she-cat; after all, he himself was still a young cat. Sunsetfire smiled, if Sandpaw choose to stay here in Stealthclan, she’d be welcomed.

He shortened his stride, making it easier for he and the young she-cat to take is she desired, and also to not tire her out.

[hope]

ooc - Eh. Sorry I haven't replied. I will ASAP.
