The Rivalry; 1x1 With GreenPanthr

[Trots]

"Oh. Uh, I'm alright. Thanks though... I'm not too hungry. I don't eat much at all." Her words were true. She was very thin and she didn't enjoy to eat really anything that someone gave her. Neither did she like food that she'd catch and kill herself. It wasn't what she enjoyed. What she did enjoy was small treats here and there, and what she'd scarf down for sure, is sushi. She'd die for sushi. She always ate it at her old home, and she wished she could have more of it. Their owner walked over and picked Dawn up, petting her fur to slick it back in place.

"Aww, not hungry?" The woman asked, smiling to Dawn. "Don't worry, i'll get you all cleaned up first."

Dawn meowed and licked the woman's hand gently. The woman smiled and made her way out of the room with Dawn; almost forgetting about Siffrin.

Siffrin's shoulders drooped. He sighed. He sighs a lot. "I was just trying to be friendly.." he murmured, remembering that jolly white cat. She never turned down a good meal. But she never ate store cat-food. Siffrin stood up and started to eat.She wouldn't want me to starve. She always made sure we had a full stomach, Siffrin thought.

He lapped up the water in the bowl, although it wasn't as good as the water from outside, and walked into the living room and out the cat door. He started to roll around in the grass to get the cat-shelter smell off of him. He went to the bright blue pond and looked at his reflection. The sunlight was beaming onto him and he relaxed for the first time that day. He tried to catch some frogs, but if he did he would just let it hop back into the water. He climbed the big oak tree and settled down. He smelled a squirrel, and he saw the big fluffy tail, but he stayed in place, enjoying the spring sunshine while it lasted.

Dawn

As she was being brushed by the woman, she felt strange. She thought about Siffrin, feeling as if something was unfair. She was getting all the attention and he was probably alone somewhere. She meowed and hissed, swaying her tail before moving away from her new owner. She made her way to the kitchen and looked around, not seeing him. She shook her head and made her way down the hall, sniffing the cat door. She smelled his scent so she put her head through and looked around, spotting the small pond. She crawled through and made her way over. Her strides were long and peaceful as she stepped in the soft grass. Her fur was finally brushed back and now what it would usually look like on any day. She meowed, laying by the water as she looked up, not sure where he might be. She couldn't see him in her view, so she decided to just wait until he'd come out. She rolled onto her back, closing her eyes as the sun bathed against her glistening fur. Her mouth was formed into a small kitten-like smile; her head back and hidden a little in the grass.

Siffrin

Siffrin had the view of the whole yard, so he saw Dawn come outside. He purred with delight and started to climb down the tree.

When he got to the ground, he trotted over to the pond, looking at Dawn roll around in the grass. "Having fun?" he meowed, sitting down and wrapping his tail around his paws. "Have you ever seen a day so beautiful..?" he murmured, looking at the pinkish-blue sky. He relished the last of the sunlight and then lay down in the soft grass.

[Trots]

Dawn

"Oh, yes. It's very beautiful." She rolled onto her side to face him, looking to his complexion in the sun. She looked away after a few moments, not wanting him to catch her staring. She yawned, closing her eyes before opening them again. She looked up to the sky, admiring the skies as the sun began to set. She swayed her tail, perking her ears. She smelled smoke from a barbecue across the road and she hissed in fear, standing up and bolting quickly. She ran up in the tree and curled up under hair tail, afraid.

[astraf]

Siffrin's head jerked to the direction that Dawn ran off to. He stood up and smelled the air. The neighbors were having a barbecue across the road, but that's really it. He tilt his head. Why did she hide because of a barbecue? Siffrin thought.
He started to follow her scent. Her scent trail led up to the old oak tree he liked to rest on. "Dawn?" He called, trying to find her Siamese pelt up amongst the branches in the tree, "Why did you run up the tree? The barbecue won't cause a fire; they've done one before!" At last, Siffrin found her Siamese fur and started to climb up to tree to rescue her. "Don't worry, Dawn, I'll get you out! I'm a master tree climber!" It was starting to get dark, so it was hard to see her Siamese pelt, but the whiteness of her stomach and the brightness of her eyes told Siffrin that she was on one branch that was strong enough to hold her weight. Siffrin sighed in relief.

[Trots]

Dawn

She hid her face with her tail, hearing him get next to her. "Oh uh.." She glanced up at him; her blue eyes shining brightly. "It's nothing... I'm just not fond of the smell of smoke. It smells less up here, so that's why i'm up here." She clenched her jaw, sighing lightly. "I'm fine. Thanks, though." She swished her tail playfully on his head. "You're my 'hero'" She stuck her tongue out before yawning. "When, hmm, do they stop the barbecue? The smell of smoke is bothering me, kind of." She didn't want to admit the truth, not knowing if she'd be picked on like she was in the shelter.

Siffrin


Siffrin looked at her. "They usually barbecue for around fifteen minutes, then they eat it. Are you scared that they might start a fire? Like I said before, they have never started a fire before." He yawned and lay his head on the branch they were on. Then he picked up his head quickly. "Why are you afraid of the smoke?"

[Trots]

Dawn


“I told you already, it’s nothing, so don’t worry about it..” She looked back at him, sighing. She swished her tail that was lightly burnt on the end. “Just had some bad things happen to me back then. I’m fine now, though. I’m just not as... cat-like as before, you can say?” Or animal like at all... she though to herself. ”Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.” She looked away and watched as the stars began to appear in the dark sky. I wish I could go flying right now... Her thoughts trailed off as she smelled the smoke again. She winced but kept still, pinning her ears back. ”Maybe we should go inside?” She tried to make a suggestion, not wanting to freak out again like earlier.

[astraf]

Siffrin nodded. "Good idea." He meowed. He had noticed that her tail was lightly burnt at the end, but he didn't want to upset her by bringing it up. He started to climb down the tree, but then stopped. "Do you know how to climb down this tree? It's different from the trees in the forest, since it's older." Siffrin's thoughts drifted back to that forest, the one that got cut down, the jolly white cat who didn't make it, the kits who ran away together, and the cat who now lived with humans. He shuddered, remembering that frightful day.
