Down in the Valley 1x1 with Ravenshadow17

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart nodded and slowed her pace as well. She was happy to go at a slower pace even if it meant they would get there a bit later. It was easier on her leg, and she didn't want to strain it any more than she already had that day.

It was fully light outside by the time they reached camp.

Chickenpoppy stopped just outside entrance, looking back as he waited for Nimblestar and Lightheart caught up.

"Here we are... everyone should be up by now! So uh... don't be surprised if you get some weird looks. I already explained to Stick here about you."

He pointed a paw towards a very large face which poked it's way out of the camp entrance.

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart braced herself for anything as they entered. “I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.” She told Chickenpoppy with a slightly nervous smile.

Lightheart blinked as the large cat poked their head through. “Ah.. Hello.” She greeted politely.

[clouds-move-on]

"Hi." Stick said, smiling warmly, before vanishing back into the bushes.

Chickenpoppy followed after him, and Nimblestar followed. They soon pushed past the bushes and into the camp, walking over icy stones and pebbles, a few a bit sharp, and were met by a clearing of gathered cats talking.

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart smiled at the tom before he left. The warm greeting had settled most of her nerves. She padded into camp after the others with a quiet confidence.

She carefully watched where she was walking, minding the tough terrain. She looked up as they approached the clearing. Lightheart observed gathered cats curiously.

Stick was already meshing back into the crowd and talking- as much as he could 'mesh', anyways, considering he was bigger than everyone where.

"Where's Edgewalker- who's that?!" Came a voice, as a cat fell in step besides Nimblestar and Lightheart. It was a very petite brown tabby with big eyes.

"Hareleap, this is Lightheart." Nimblestar introduced, stopping for a moment as he noticed the eyes of the camp turning on them.

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart smiled at Hareleap. "Hi. It's nice to meet you." She greeted warmly.

She then noticed Nimblestar had stopped. Lightheart noticed the eyes of every cat on her and paused, the attention a bit daunting. However, she kept her head high and her body language friendly as she looked at the gathered cats and waited to see how they would react to her presence.

[clouds-move-on]

Hareleap smiled in return before nodding and running a bit ahead, going to sit besides a taller, round looking gray cat who was staring at Lightheart with a small frown.

"Who's this?" A ginger she-cat asked, her tail tightly wrapped around her in a protective manner as she stared Lightheart down.

"Injured invite." Chickenpoppy remarked. "Er- got burns from a fire. Bringing her to get a checkup with Crimsonsparrow and stay the night."

"Fire?" Another voice squeaked, as a tiny calico she-cat poked her head out from behind the ginger she-cat. "What fire?"

[Ravenshadow17]

Lightheart felt a bit uncomfortable under the ginger she-cat's stare. She was relieved when the small calico spoke up. Lightheart looked towards the stranger and smiled reassuringly. "It was far away, don't worry. My injuries are a bit old, albeit untreated." She explained.


(Sorry for the late reply. )

"Well, that's good news." The ginger queen meowed, pushing the tortie kit back to behind her.

"Father's out looking for herbs in the back of camp." She added afterwards.
