Maple was not one of those jolly wildcats who enjoyed there life at the moment, nor was she ever. Particularly to amuse herself, she began to roll a mouses carcass pack and forth between paws, not really exciting, but that was all she had to do. Finally she stood up and swiped the mouse away with her paw and it flew a few feet. Yawning and stretching out her slender legs, she decided to......daydream. Yes, unleash her imagination and dreams, that was what she would do. The wildcat sat down and starred into space, imagining herself a clan leader, or having a good batch of strong kits.....or both? So deep in thought, Maple took no notice of her surroundings.

[windspirit]

The cool breeze whispered through the long grass in no particular direction, it swept up the dust into miniature twisters that lasted but a few seconds and chased the leaves that were laying bored upon the floor..
Such freedom and power held in those gusts..

As Windspirit basked in the wind, fur ruffling and eyes closed lazily in pleasure, he picked up a scent. It was not familiar to him, but being far from territorial, he ignored it. He shifted himself to his paws and stretched, yawning widely, loving the way the wind almost buffeted him over. He stopped shortly and looked up, ears pricked. Scufflings from behind a larger-than-normal clump of grass.. curiousity engulfed him, and he stalked into the clump, peering out beyond it to where a she-cat sat upon the ground, a far away expression seeming to sweep across her face. There was a dead mouse, looking obviously played-with, a few feet to the side of her..

Fun time.

Windspirit wiggled his bottom, as playful as a kit, and took a running pounce at the back of said she-cat, claws sheathed and accompanied by a yowling 'TIIIIIIIIIMMMBEERRR!!!'

[shadess]

The yell of another cat woke up Maple out of her happy world immediately, but this was NOT the way she wanted to snap out of dreamworld.

Her eyes widened and she hissed loudly as a tom pounced on her. Defensively, she turned around and reveled her soft belly, a weakness she must face. Unsure of weither she was fighting for her life or being in some huge joke, she decided to face the worst.

With another hiss and bent her head forward and aimed to bite the tom on his front neck, along with thrashing her back legs widly hoping to scratch the tom on his stomach.

[windspirit]

Whoops. Perhaps not the best way to introduce yourself Windspirit.

The tom swiftly rolled to the left, avoiding the she-cats attempted bite to the neck, but not being so lucky with her battering hind-paws. As he landed in a tangled heap on the dusty floor, he found himself winded after the blows to his stomach, he also discovered he was bleeding slightly.

He looked up at the ferocious she-cat and scrambled to his paws as fast as he could, before she could mount another attack.
'Whoa whoa whoa! I'm sorry... I just wanted to play..' he grinned at her sheepishly, flicking his tail and ears in unison.
'Did I scare ya?' he laughed, not wanting to be mean, but reveling in his skills at stalking.

The earlier breeze had calmed and the bright sun was making Windspirit hot. He gave his bleeding stomach a few quick licks and sprawled himself casually in front of the clump of grass he had pounced from.
'So what's your name?' he meowed, 'Up to anything interesting?'

He looked up at her, pale blue eyes still twinkling with mischief and good-natured teasing.

[shadess]

Breathing heavy, the she-cat slowly got to her feet and looked at the tom blankly, still getting over the quick turn of events.

Heart calming down, she sighed with relief and yawned, it could have easily been worse. Of course, she was one of those over-reactors.
"Sorry bout my legs of fury, but a reflex you know, i always seem to expect the worse" wonderful Maple, say every thing about yourself.

Drowning out the little mocking voice in her mind she answered his question with a purr.
"Maple, simple name i suppose. I'm never really up to any thing, just to the boring life of mine" She grinned in a good fashion way, even though she hadn't remembered the last time she was so polite, yet again maybe the sun and lack of social thinking brought out her good side.
"and your name?" she asked yawning once more.

[windspirit]

'Haha, nah it's my fault, shouldn't have startled you!' Windspirit meowed cheerily, still gazing up at Maple with his bright blue eyes.
'Maple's a nice name, don't put it down' he protested, 'Mine's Windspirit. Nothing much going on in this place is there?' he grinned, his tortoiseshell tail flicking around idly.

He sighed heavily and turned his head to look first left, and then right. His face fell slightly at the lack of things to do, smell, attack and play with.. he ran one white paw over his ear and collapsed backwards into the dusty earth. Rolling onto his back, he kicked all four multi-coloured legs into the air and did a little shimmie, his tongue lolling like a dogs before he flipped over onto his other side, his back now facing Maple.
'Couldn't scratch my shoulder could ya, I swear there's some mighty evil fleas on it, damn pests...' he laughed, looking backwards at the she-cat and wiggling his left shoulder, the playful look now returned to his eyes..

[shadess]

"Windspirit, a very nice name" Meowed Maple "Your to right, nothing ever happens out here"

The she-cat found herself chuckling as Windsprirt rolled about the ground. Once again, she almost went into a daze of thoughts.

'Couldn't scratch my shoulder could ya, I swear there's some mighty evil fleas on it, damn pests...'


She meet his grin with a good smile "if you insist, imagine, everyday having to lick millions of flees from your fathers old back, i think my tongue didn't even recover after i left him" Maple grinned at the memory and her green eyes shone.

Pure curiosity struck her and she asked "But, do you mind me asking, why is your battle cry "timber"?"

[windspirit]

Windspirit grimaced as Maple revealed all about her life before being alone. He shuddered at the thought of having to stay in the same place everyday looking after some cat - even if it was one of his parents. Don't get him wrong though, he's not cruel, but he can be kind of selfish, and craves the travelling lifestyle.

'Ahh the horror!' he laughed, 'Not for me I don't think, I like to go where I please.. I cant handle being tied down..' The tortie shuddered again, this time more playful than repulsed and he purred as Maple scratched the insane itch he had been harbouring on his shoulder.

He rolled over onto his other side so he was actually facing Maple and sat up properly, just in time to hear her ask about his 'battle cry'. He snorted loudly, but not necessarily rudely.
'That's not my reaaal battle cry, that was just for a laugh!' he giggled, almost kittenish in his immaturity, 'Naah, I wouldn't dare use my real one, 'case it scared ya..' he teased.

His cheeky smile was once again arranged handsomely across his whiskered face and his blue eyes tilted towards the heavens as a single fat, wet drop of rain plopped onto his nose..

[shadess]

Maple couldn't help but chuckle, it had been a while since she met a cat with a good personality.

" Except clan territory unless ye want to get ripped to shreds"

She said with a shudder, for she had never dared cross clan terf.

" Alright you did make my heart jump a little "

She purred, not admitting he had scarred the living daylights from her, being a bit stubborn at heart.

Windspirit perked his ears instantly at the sound of 'Clan territory'. Ignoring the many small pellets of water now thundering down from a passing cloud, he leapt to his over adventurous paws and lashed his tail about in a friendly yet mischievous manner.

'Clan territories? That'd be a laugh wouldn't it? Can we go? Ruffle some feathers, get into a scrap or two? Aaah please?'

The reckless tom was pretty much bouncing on his toes in excitement. Finally - something that might be worth hanging around for! He shook his pelt of the collecting water and bounded a couple of steps away from Maple.

'Can we go? Pleease?' he laughed, smiling back at her, 'Just for an ickle visit?'

[shadess]

(( Sorry i have been extinct for a while, , life has been crushing me XP))

Maple's ears perked and she shivered, this time from the cold rain then fear. She new is would be more then a 'little visit' if they ran into clan cats, but hey, you only live once.

" Hm, i cant hold you back, and you'll probably need back-up, anyway, if it comes to a talk-out-of situation, its my skill after all"

Maple hummed, a tad nervous of outcome. With a deep breath, she stepped forward and began to follow Windspirit.

[windspirit]

( OoC: S'no problem - you're back now =D )

With an excited purr and lots of spinning in circles, the daft tortie tomcat set off at a light pace, he too hummed his own little tune but not out of fear, just pure adrenaline. The past weeks alone had been dull, and Windspirit had been dying to liven things up a little - here was his perfect chance.

He swayed his tail to the side so that it skimmed the top of the long wet grass beside him, sending tickling sensations all along it as the droplets of water ran down into his fur. He had no idea where the nearest Clan border was.. but he wanted to pick a nice-ish one, so he cleared his throat slightly and spoke to Maple as he trotted along.
'So uhh, which Clan would you say is the meanest?' he smiled, jovially flicking water from his ears. The rain still continued to pour, puddles along the track soon formed and he slowed down a little to make sure he didn't slip.

[shadess]

Maple waked nervously, shivering with cold as the water slashed against her pelt
"I hate rain" she murmured, shaking her self.
With a long yawn, she thought a bit over WIndpsirits question. Navigating was not her thing, but she knew each clan had a unique sent. Word about other clans had reached her hears long ago, and now she pout it to the test.
" If ye want a death strock, Boneclans the one. Yet Duskclan sounds pretty fair, nasty enough, and follows warrior code or whatever. Bloodstar's there leader, red eyes 'e has."
she announced, walking in pace with Windspirit. She couldnt understand how clam he was for invading a clans territory, yet again, you only live once.

[Pripyat]

Just a note, but at this point BoneClan is still in exile, and it is not known that they still exist. There might be some cats who think they're still around, but they'd be like....an urban legend, let's say, since there's been no real signs of them since the War, which was many moons ago.

[shadess]

(( Thats her point, she was joking XD she thinks it is a legend ))

[windspirit]

Windspirit snorted contemptuously at Maples reply, 'BoneClan? Those mangy furballs are long gone Maple, but we'll steer clear of DuskClan if you don't mind, any cat with red eyes should be left alone..' he trailed off slowly, lifting his white head to sniff at the delicate infusion of scents brought on by the rains.
'We'll go thataway, me thinks!' he said with a purr, flicking his multicoloured tail in the direction of a steep hill, leading on to rocky mountains. 'If we hurry, we can get there before dark and start sniffing around' he added, eager anticipation sparkling in his pale blue eyes.

He set into a light trot in the direction he had indicated, head and tail held high, picking up his paws in a ridiculous looking prance across the wet grass. He glanced back at Maple with a grin spreading over his cheeky features, he could still sense her unease and was trying his hardest to cheer her up. What was life without some adrenaline pumping through your veins?

'Come along there young Maple, keep up! Tallyho!' he mewed, putting on a posh deep voice and continuing his prancing in the direction of StoneClan's borders.

[To StoneClan's borders!]
