Borders - RENAMED.

Wren raised her head to the wind, her ears perked and nose twitching for signs of danger. The weather was nice, and she wasn't really worried--who had time for that? But it was always best to be careful. She'd heard rumors of wolves around these parts, too, and that was something she wanted to avoid. For the moment, though, she felt safe. The wind was crisp, and morning was always her favorite time to hunt.
With her guard down and no real purpose to her pawsteps, Wren began to think. She wasn't especially hungry, and honestly didn't feel that much like concentrating. No, this was a lazy time for her. The stench of cats, lots of cats, was thick in the air, but not immediately fresh: as far as she could tell, no one was very close by right now.
Wren brought a paw to her muzzle and licked it, remembering the dreary events that had led her here. She didn't like to think about it much, but didn't really have a choice. There had been the fox. Her back leg groaned at this memory, and the hair on her neck automatically rose. Then there had been the injury. There was the recovery, starting from the attack and continuing to this very moment.
And then there had been walking.
So. Much. Walking.
That was why, right now, she deserved a bit of rest. Yes. Sleep curled in the shade for a while, then twist her lips into a snarl and pounce and eat her fill after her nap.
It sounded good.

He dropped from a high tree, landing nimbly on the borderline. "Who are you?" He meowed, narrowing his eyes as he remained on his side of the borderline.

The she-cat raised her head and crouched down at the sudden arrival. Her pupils stretched and fur bristled. "My...my name is Wren," she meowed quietly.

SilenceStorm pads by, his eyes narrowed as he watched the scene carefully before padding to the border line.

The leader's ears pricked as he heard his warrior nearby. "You have no clan name? Yet you are on the border of two clans?"

"Um...." Wren thought for a moment before answering the question. "Yes." She tilted her head, wondering about the stranger's tone.

The leader frowned, "Interesting. Where are you from?" (How? I mean, which clan did you trespass to get there? xDD)

Oooh... Interesting. Aurora grinned cheekily, her small body easily fitting between two branches high up in the air. "Time to learn more about these so-called 'clan-cats'." She murmured quietly to herself, straining to catch a wisp of the conversation.

(Ya'll do realize this is the border between clans - It's far away from rogue territory. Check le map dudes and dudettes. xD)

(Let's just pretend that she trespassed across a whole clan's territory. x3 By prancing around on top of trees?)

(It's a bit odd that two rogues happen to show up, though...)

(I created this thread before TempestClan, so at the time is was perfectly plausible for Wren to be on this border, simply by crossing the Thunderpath and wandering along there.... With the creation of TempestClan, she would have skirted around the outskirts of TC territory--since the Clan is still fairly small in numbers, it wouldn't be too hard.)

"I'm, uh, from the forest," said Wren. "Over there." She flicked her tail in the direction of Twolegplace/loner territory.

I suppose.


The leader stifled a laugh. "You're a kittypet?" He nodded, "Interesting."

"A kittypet..." Aurora frowned.That's where I live. Am I a kittypet? She shuffled around on the branch awkwardly, trying to find a better position to sit in.

A she-cat approached HowlingStar, her eyes fastened on Wren. She tilt up her head and peered into the trees were Aurora was, "I scent another cat," she said, turning to HowlingStar. "This kittypet does not seem alone."

Aurora stiffened, her eyes wide. She's good. Should I go down there? I fear that it would be the end of me. She got up briskly, trying not to make any sound as she began leaping from tree to tree.

Wren bristled, her fur standing on end. "I am not a kittypet." She ignored the other cat's comment, focusing solely on Howlingstar. "I live near there, that's all. I'm not one of them."

PigeonFeather, another clan-cat padded up beside her leader and MiseryCloud.

Wren laid her ears back as the new cat approached, lowering herself to the ground in submission. "Another one?" she muttered under her breath.

The leader narrowed his eyes, "With all right, too. You are on the border that we share with another clan," he said. "If you don't wish to be around so many clan cats, you ought to leave. I'm surprised a ValiantClan patrol has not padded past," he said.

PigeonFeather studied the she-cat then nodded at HowlingStar's words. "Agreed," she meowed. "What brings you to the borders, anyway?"

She smiled to PigeonFeather then flicked her ears.

PigeonFeather lashed her paw out at her best friend's ears, revealing a large grin.

A large brawny sun-colored tom padded down the borderline, stopping every few moments to mark his scent across his side of the territory. "Hey," he meowed to PigeonFeather and MiseryCloud. He bounded up to them.

PigeonFeather tilt her creamy head to the side, lightly purring. "Oh! Why hello, ProudFire. Such a beautiful day to be out patrolling, hmm?"

The brawny tom revealed a smile, nodding. "It sure is. How are you two? I hope you are both well and missed getting infected from.. Whatever it was infecting the others?"

MarigoldFlame slowly pads in, parting her haws to scent the air.

Chestnutpool scanned the border, amber eyes watching the other side thoughtfully. It's been abnormally quiet...

The tom padded in, eyes narrowed in their usual icy glare as he marked his scent every now and then. He cocked his head in a curious manner as he watched the others.

She sighed, lifting her head as she gazed at Chestnut and Cunninh. "Maybe its just me, but nothing seems right Fter we learned about the river...."

Chestnutpool blinked as she spotted the tom and rose her head, giving him a brief nod. "Well, if it isn't a certain pesky tom I've been seeing around quite a bit lately." She narrowed her eyes, a hint of a smirk dancing on her expression.

"He's everywhere," she replied witg a soft laugh.

The leader padded down the borderline, cocking his head to his warriors. "Hello," he said.

"Hey!" She beams.

HowlingStar dipped his head. "How are you? I have sent MiseryCloud and PigeonFeather to search for water.. I have not given them a lot of time to search, but, let us hope they are successful."

The tom briefly dipped his head to Howling before sneering at the she-cats. "Well, if it isn't my two favourite cats," He rolled his eyes, sarcasm lacing his voice, before smirking lightly at Chestnut. "You're pretty pesky, yourself, female."

"Looks like my favorite tom haven't changed at all. Awfully friendly." She grins."A bit miuse braind d at tines."She paused and said to Howling, "Hope StarClan help us."

The leader hissed, his eyes on Cunning. "SHow more respect towards your deputy and clan-mates!" The leader frowned, his ears pointed straight up towards the sky.

ProudFire padded up alongside his leader, narrowing his amber eyes at CunningBreath. Rude he thought to himself as he padded past the group of warriors and to the camp.

EelHeart padded along the border, his ears swiveled at the mention of his sister but he shrugged it away and continued to mark the border.

HowlingStar led his clan over to the border, the tom dared not crossed, merely waited, peering into the depths of ValiantClan territory; searching for a warrior or a patrol, or.. Better yet, NightmareStar herself.

MarigoldFlame stepped next to HowlingStar, scanning the area.

The creamy grey cat padded up to her leader, nodding. "The others are coming," she said.

Grouse glances around, seeing no familiar faces among the crowd.

ProudFire drew closer to PigeonFeather and the others.

"Hey," she said to ProudFire, her eyes bright. "I do hope they take us in," she said, softly.

Chestnutpool's eyes flickered apprehensively. "They must. We need it."

HowlingStar nodded in agreement and waited silently. (This may take awhile because Nightmare ish busy iRL)

She padded up beside everyone.

She grins, and pads over to ProudFire and PigeonFeather, "Hello." She mews, glad to be talking to somebody she knows.
