Rain That Falls Quietly (Rain)
The pale gray and white tabby she-cat gave him a forehead bump, before scenting around.

Rumble of Distant Thunder (Rumble)
The pale brown tabby tom pricked his ears, and headed over to his apprentice, Breeze.

Spark of Fading Embers (Spark, known to most of the tribe as Fading)
The ginger and white tabby she-cat went hunting.

Seashells By The Shore (Seashell)
The cream lynx point she-kit grinned up at Sunrise. "I wanna hear a story, Sunrise! Please?"

[RavenshadowRose]

Raven nodded. "Do what you must, but dont hurt him... leave any of that to me." she said. "You will be my Lieutenant." she said. Smiling, Raven continued to walk.

[happysparrow]

Fox purred happily at the forehead bump, following Rain's lead as he tried to figure everything out.

Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow was confused by how friendly she was being, even taking a few steps back for emphasis. He knew Talon like the back of his paw. Talon was always his right-hand before Little came along, but that did not mean he was unaware of her true self. They had spoken long hours on many occasions about their hopes and aspirations. They had similar goals in a sense. The behavior she was exhibiting now was suspicious under the current circumstances. His mind did not have time to process the situation before the smell of catnip made him woozy. His vision blurred, and he could not get a word out before his mind disconnected from his body. What many did not know about the catnip herb is that it has two uses: 1) when eaten, it is a sedative and effective against many sicknesses 2) when smelled, makes a cat go completely bonkers. Shadow was currently under the "spell" of the herb, unaware of what was going on and under the complete influence of Talon.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest lounged quietly beside Spirit, resting his head quietly on her shoulder. His eyes were half-closed, ready for sleep. It was horrible being in constant waiting. It felt as if he was being watched at all times. Spirit was the only comfort he had currently in his outcast despair. His heart yearned for the tribe.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower leaned back on her haunches as Crow shrugged off Reaper's disappearance. She had the constant, underlying feeling that Crow undermined everything she said, and this only continued to prove her point. Flower did not particularly like Crow due to jealousy reasons. Since Crow was older and actually put effort into her apprenticeship, all Flower could ever see is the praise she gets from the sailors for a job well-done. It was as if Crow never noticed her annoyance though. At some points, it was like they were best friends, and other times Flower just wanted to move her bedding to the dirt place for fun. Her ear lobes pressed to her head with Minnow's statement about,"Why is he so important to you?" She spoke mostly to Crow, but was a bit sensitive to Minnow as well with his initial comment,"Well, excuse me! I apologize for being concerned and having sympathy for a new apprentice of the tribe. Imagine if we were him, joining the tribe during this lowly time of ours with Shadow in charge. There has to be a reason for him just taking off like that."
Flower looked up to see Fire approaching them, thankful for the distraction. She had been about to rant. "Of course! Thank you." When Tide came over to sit down next to her, she cast one glance at Crow and stated to Tide,"Do you wanna come too?" The she-cat was glad to see Tern joining them as well. It added to her cause. "Lets go!"
Flower headed out towards the beach, searching for any scent of Reaper among the brush. Strangely enough, the only scent she picked up was one from Flame. She had heard bits and pieces of the conversation earlier with Stream and Feather, and a hit of worry lingered in the back of her throat. It was common for cats to be out in groups, but why was Flame out all by herself? "Guys, I caught the scent of Flame. Did she say she was going out on a patrol earlier?"

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream listened quietly as Whisper explained her story to the gathered patrol. She glanced around nervously, expecting Shadow to leap out of the bushes any second. Did he really expect us to attack every loner they came across? Tempest would never be so cruel. She, personally, decided not to stoop so low, casting a nervous glance to Water. It appeared they had been thinking the same thing. "He does not even know most of our names. Shadow gets a lot of his information from his members among us, and none of them are currently nearby. Perhaps we could pass Whisper off as one of us?" The she-cat had tagged along to clear debris from the beach like Shadow had requested. They had found a cat instead in their search. "I am Stream where Small Fish Swim, by the way. I mean you no harm."

her fur, sighing softly and grooming herself. she got up after a while and shook her fur out,
taking a deep breath. she padded out into the clearing, looking around.xxxxxxxtags; open

[víolet]

Spirit licked the top of Tempest's head lightly, her throat rumbling a purr as he laid against her. she finally managed to fall asleep before she could keep the two of them up, pondering about the future. She didn't know if Tempest could tell, but she was afraid of what would happen. She was afraid of the other outcasts. Afraid of Shadow. Afraid of what would happen to the tribe, and Cloud. She was very scared. Tempest was the only thing keeping her sane in the dark times.

Talon pretended to be concerned and unaware of what was going on. Besides, if anyone found out, she could say it was to keep the kits sedated whiel she was out hunting so predators wouldn't get to them. "Shadow? Are you alright?" she asked, before flicking her tail. "Oh, right, I'm sorry." she remembered his question. "Shadow, they're ours! Aren't they beautiful?" she asked, smiling brightly.

[happysparrow]

Fog stayed quiet, giving a tiny kitten growl whenever Shadow seemed to be closer. Besides, what was that weird smell...? He pawed at Talon, giving a soft mew.

[víolet]

Talon looked down at one of the tiny, mewling kits and purred softly, nuzzling the top of his soft head. She looked up at Shadow. "I was thinking of calling this one Fog. Fog from Misty Storm. What do you think, love?" she asked, purring warmly. She reached out and gave Shadow a gentle nuzzle before reaching back down.

[happysparrow]

Fog settled when Talon nuzzled him, giving a tinier, softer mew before curling up quietly beside her. He kept an ear out for the intruder though, tiny body shaking with fear.

Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow's brain was jumbled. Memories were being mixed. Previous encounters with Talon, in his mind, were being misinterpreted. He blinked a few times; his daunting green eyes blackened by the enlarged pupil. "Of course . . . they -- they are wonderful." Shadow stated with a drowsy nod of his head, striding forward on unsteady paws. "F-fog is a great name for such a strong kit. Thicker than fog." he was beginning to ramble, nose brushing up against the small bundles beside Talon. Their scent was confusing. Though they had Talon's scent, an unfamiliar one was being replaced by his own. It made perfect sense for the kits to be his own. Why would they not be? Little stars crossed his vision, and a sheepish grin appeared on his features. "You are beautiful, and they are equally as stunning."
