'The rush is the unknownnn-' the tom faked a dramatic voice and scampered ahead, glancing at every patch of herbs they passed. He couldn't tell the difference between any of then, but the scent of Gentlebreeze hung on the shrubbery. 'Who knows, maybe she was kidnapped by leaf-eating foxes. Or something.' He shrugged, his tail curling upwards into a question mark.
He sharply closed hie mouth, trapping air in-between his teeth as He narrowly avoided stabbing pine needles into his soft paw pads. This little hunt thing felt familiar to when the pitchfork nofur would let its kits out to go look for coloured rocks. Definitely rocks, he tried once and was rewarded with a chipped tooth-.

it had put the gross rocks in random places. A little stupid, had it forgotten where it put them and needed it's kits to help?

Owlstar
He pinned his ears back rather aggressively, blocking out the chatter of his warriors as he stepped closer to the stranger, inspecting them. They didn't quite have the athletic build of a clan cat, that was for sure, but definitely wasn't a kittypet. Some loner, then. "Hawktalon. Although you must have good reasons to bring this cat into our camp, which I trust you will explain to me later." Owlstar's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed every time he tried to award Palewind her rightful prize, some previously unseen obstacle leapt out of the bushes. "He can't stay for the prize giving, or the feast. It's getting close to nightfall, and a storm is clearly brewing." He cast a look around the clearing, noticing Cicadapaw and Hemlockshade looking intently at the loner. "Hemlockshade, Cicadapaw. Why don't you join me in escorting this loner off of our land. It'll be some good practice for when you'll have to do this as a warrior, Cicadapaw." He turned to face the stranger directly. "I would be a lot more hospitable if you hadn't just shown up unannounced. If you still want to speak with the clan, meet us by the border after sunset. Hawktalon will also be joining us. We can talk then."

Owlstar turned to address the clan again, speaking loud enough to easily be heard by them all. "I'm going to escort this stranger from our borders. Thrushtail is in charge while I'm gone." He turned to the two cats he had chosen to accompany him with a very slight smile on his face. "We aren't simply going to pick up any loner that passes through. Any cats chosen to join our group were chosen because of their skills, something I was able to see in action. This particular loner has done none of that. Not yet, at least."

Toby
He watched carefully to make sure Gentlebreeze made it up the fence, before leaping the short distance down to the soft grass below. If it was going to rain soon, and it definitely seemed like it would, he had to chose one of the better spots. A careful look around revealed one of his favorite places for a good nap, a cozy little hollow, protected by one of the strange looking things the housefolk had left out in the yard, that always smelled faintly of lakewater and sand. It would need some nests dragged into it, but the housefolk had often left his bed outside when it got sunny, and forgotten to bring it back in. Yes! It was still out where they had left it. "So, Gentlebreeze, ever slept on one of these before? I'd bet a whole squirrel that they're softer than anything you have in your den!"
He purred, brushing along her flank before gripping the bed in his teeth, and dragging it towards the nice little hollow.

//also, just because it probably isn't clear, Toby's dragging his bed under a mostly turned over kayak that his twolegs just left out on the lawn

The she cat rolled her eyes." Oh yes very unknown." She stated offering a laugh." You don't think some twolegs or their kits got her do you?" her eyes narrowed and her ears flattened. Her mother had told her stories about her run ins with twolegs and their kits. They would chase after her trying to catch her, making loud noises and saying things she couldn't understand. Pesky little things those twoleg kits were, would always wander away from their older twolegs and would be such a bother every time she tried to nap, back when she was a rouge anyway. She hadn't really had that problem when she joined Pineclan which she was quite thankful for.

//I think Owlstar would remember him maybe in the slightest just cause Sootpaw was a kit then. But he was born a few months before Pineclan was established.

Hawktalon

Sitting as Owlstar approached, she wrapped her tail around her paws, looking back at Sootpaw to remind him to show some respect. Her amber gaze landed back on Owlstar, her voice level as she spoke. "This is Sootpaw, my brother from my mother's second litter. He was separated as Shadowclan fell. He has since been living as a rogue, much like I was." She wasn't sure how to word her request without sounding like begging. "Owlstar, would it be possible to allow my kin to spend one day here, perhaps to prove himself worthy of being part of a growing clan?"

Sootpaw

Sootpaw sat in the same way as his older sister, and listened in silence, not wanting to mess up his opportunity to have a clan to be in even for at least a day. His whiskers twitched, refusing to tell his sister what actually happened as she pleaded her case for him. His yellow eyes rested on Owlstar, ignoring the potential stares he was receiving on his pelt.

//oop this was meant to respond to a post earlier lol owlstar can respond to this once he gets back lol

Gentlebreeze

She opened her maw, and the smell of nofurs almost wafted her off her paws. The scent of an approaching storm was clear, the air was heavy with the scent of oncoming rain. Gentlebreeze watched Toby leap down, and she swayed her tail behind her. Her soft blue eyes landed on the twoleg nest, with shapes inside moving around. Unnatural bright lights glowed within the nest. Twolegs walked around inside and she lowered her ears. Gentlebreeze leaped down the fence, landing gracefully beside Toby. She watched him, tilting her head slightly. This enclosed area was nothing like the forest. Short, neatly trimmed grass poked at her soft paw pads, and oddly shaped objects were scattered. Odd plants she'd never seen before were growing in those pots Toby had pointed out, sometimes lining the fence.

The flame pointed siamese watched Toby, her ears flicking with slight curiousity. "So, Gentlebreeze, ever slept on one of these before? I'd bet a whole squirrel that they're softer than anything you have in your den!" he purred, brushing against her side affectionately. Her eyes followed Toby as he grabbed an odd nest? He dragged it underneath a brightly colored object, in a hollow. Gentlebreeze slowly padded after him, pausing every once in a while as she heard noises within the twoleg nest.

The Medicine Cat nuzzled Toby as she caught up, sniffing the nest, and the object above it. It smelled like freshwater and sand. She purred, and rubbed against it. She remembered the time she'd lived around the lake. The scent of reeds and sand were all so familiar. It reminded her of the days where the clans had lived in peace. Until they chased out Shadowclan.

The tom paused to consider the much more plausible theory. 'Maybe. The twoleg kits could've already dressed her up and named her Sprinkles. Whatever that is..' He mrrowed eventually, slowing his excited trot to match Palewind's pace. He'd known a kittypet named sprinkles, she was the nofur's "tame" cat. She was terrifying. And weirdly big. He winced at the vivid memory of the white cat repeatedly clawing at his pelt and almost turning him into paste before she was thankfully called in by the nofur kits.

"I'd hate to think that, but those twoleg kits can be so pesky." She stated looking at the tom." But I'd like to think she outsmarted them if she did run into any, so loud and annoying you could hear them coming from miles away." she huffed thinking about all those precious naps she had ruined by twoleg kits being so loud. She didn't even consider the possibility that a kittypet or even a rouge could have befriended her or something. Kittypets were quite strange, even for a cat that wasn't born into the clan. They liked being around those terrifyingly large twolegs and it was strange to say the least.

'Hopefully that's the case.' the tom murmured, craning his head up to catch the scent on the wind. Nothing. Disappointing. He frowned and carried on, the eagerness in his steps beginning to dwindle. He could smell something he was much less fond of.
Rain.
Nettlewnap huffed and looked up at the clouds forming in the sky, his fur bristling at the very thought of it. He wasn't too keen on getting soaked today..

She glanced at the tom noticing his eager steps no longer present as he walked." It will rain soon do you want to go back?" she wasn't planning on going back, she would look maybe just a little bit longer. She stopped walking for a moment to let Nettlesnap decide what he wanted to do. She was hoping at least if he went back or if he didn't that they'd find Gentlebreeze before the rain got bad.

'And do what? Eat soggy prey? I'll be fine.' He meowed confidently, his tail tip twitching with unease as he walked along, refusing go go back. Who was scared of a little rain? He wasn't some coward. 'And anyways, you might run into an angry nofur or something.'

The she cat nodded as she now resumed walking." True. Hopefully we can find Gentlebreeze before the rain comes, or gets bad." she stated as she was now trying to ignore the scent of rain and trying to focus on any small whiffs she could get of Gentlebeeze. What was the likely hood of them finding her? Not quite low but not great either especially with rain coming. She sighed softly, secretly hoping she might actually be on her way back to camp right now and not out here somewhere. She glanced at the sky seeing if any rain was actually coming out of the storm clouds yet, slightly relived when she realized it wasn't raining just yet.

The tom ran ahead, once again kicking up clouds of dust. The pine needles pricked at his paws as he stopped sharply, practically burying his snout in a patch of strong smelling thyme. He recoiled, letting out a huff of disgust. The unwelcome scent of nofurs cursed his senses, thankfully faint. Ugh, nofurs. Of course they would be here, they were everywhere, like pests. Nettlesnap hisses softly and backs away to stand beside Palewind, waiting for her approach on the situation.

She grumbled at the smell of twolegs." Why exactly do they feel the need to prance around wherever they want?' Though if it were twoleg kits that would make more sense to her, but the scent couldn't be distinguished as the fuller grown twolegs or the smaller kits. She sighed deeply glancing at the tom." Hopefully we find her soon, I don't want Owlstar to have to send out a search party for us." she stated as she looked back into the area her eyes narrowing as she did so.

'Doubt they would. They're too busy dealing with whatshisname and the stranger.' The tom purred though his ears lowered. They'd definitely be looking for Palewind later, she was the prize winner and all. He was pretty sure most of the camp wouldn't even bother with him though. He bit his tongue and trotted ahead, almost gagging at the bitter stench of smoke that always seemed to hang around the lumbering nofurs. 'Definitely nofurs. You think Gentlebreeze came?' Nettlesnap managed to cough out between annoyed hisses. He was debating going back, terrified by the loud unnatural sounds of nofurs. He noticed Palewind kept saying something about twolegs? No idea what that meant. Maybe birds.

"Perhaps....you call them nofurs?" She asked tilting her head curiously. She had heard that term before but her mother had always called them twolegs. Her mother was quite nosy made quite a few kittypet friends and they had always called them two legs, so Palewind had always done so as well. She had thought everyone called them twolegs, perhaps she was wrong. She perked her ears hearing a few towlegs going about their own business near to what she presumed was probably heading towards whatever kind of home they lived in.
