Tribe of Sinking Willows
Number of Cats: 5
Servings: 2
Leafteller froze, tilting her head at the molly that appeared, pushing forward quickly and blocking her path before she could leave. May as well ask an intruder what they come for. Sunset took the cue and went to back her up, still muddy, though she had cleared at least a good portion of the mud on his tail now. He tried to look threatening, but how threatening can a kindhearted puffball even be?
"Could I please ask you what you are doing here, so deep in my Tribe's land?" Leafteller asked gently, seeing how terrified the molly seemed to be, how shaken up and unsteady.
"M-my family...we were passing through and...and...some giant lizards attacked up and...and we got separated...if you could...please...please help me find them." She pleaded.
"I would be happy to. Where did you last see them?" Leafteller asked, smiling and moving so stand beside the worried molly, most likely a mother. She drank in the air as the stranger looked around.
"I'm..I'm not sure..." She muttered, afraid that would deter the healer from helping her.
"Hm...I think I can smell cats that way. Sunset" She turned to the tom that now sat on a rotting log, washing some more of the mud away from his pelt now that he wasn't needed. He perked up, standing tall and ready. "You may return to camp. I'll handle this."
Sunset nodded, frozen and reluctant for a bit before turning and cautiously stalking off to head home.
"Now then. Follow me. I'll see what I can do." The teller led the mother along in search of her family.

Sky was nervous about the possibility of another beast like the one she had seen with her brother before, glancing around more often than she smelled the air for prey. Not like there seemed to be anything all that edible in the swamp anyway. She couldn't help but flinch each time even the tiniest of sounds came from her eyes up above. She could swear that she felt and heard his judgment of her as she moved quickly, yet clumsily through the mud. Lucky tom got to sit up in the trees where it's dry all day. She muttered a curse under her breath, climbing up to a branch, glancing at Flame. The ginger tom's tail was slightly twitching as he crouched, eyes focused on something. All of a sudden he jumped, landing on the branch of another tree, a bird struggling to escape his jaws as the Tree-Dweller got a good firm hold on its wing with his teeth. The cat pinned the bird, slitting its throat and picking it up by the neck.
"Whatcha staring at, toots?" He asked, eyeing the sitting molly that watched him, speaking around the feathers that muffled his speech.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. Think that crazy Leafteller would let me hunt in the trees too?" She moved from branch to branch more cautiously, but soon reached him, sitting beside the waiting tom.
"I wouldn't count on it, but it's worth a shot. Anyway, you wanna still hunt? All the birds in the area are probably gone now, but maybe you could strike some juicy morsel down there too. While you weren't looking, I'm quite sure I saw some fish splash around in the water nearby." He offered, gesturing to the vague direction with his tail, trying to be helpful.
"No thanks. Even if that's true, I think I prefer being in the camp even. It's dry there and the sun comes through the trees."
"Fair point, fair point. There's four of us, though. Are you sure this bird will be enough of a catch."
"It'll have to do. Come on. I'm supposed to be leading this." Sky sighed, trying to move through the branches to get back without even more mud on her paws. She was slow, but Flame didn't mind slowing down and matching her pace. They made it back to camp a bit longer after than they normally would have, but no one was complaining. The first thing they saw was a lone white and ginger tom pacing around in the small clearing, looking anxious. Sky hurried to her brother's side, the two greeting each other cheerfully, sharing news about what had happened while they were out and if they saw any more of those alligators. As Sky spoke about Flame's catch, she looked around, only to notice he was out of sight, having disappeared somewhere. She sighed, going back to chatting without him around.
