Is that what I think it is..? ((Open))

[Respronics]

Antfern, a black she at with white muzzle, tail tip, and paws, sat in the center of camp. Well, it was more of a cowered in the middle of camp. The normally abrasive she-cat was frozen in place. She looked right down at the thing before her. A spider. She, well, let's just say spiders were not a strong point for her. At all. The girl screamed and jumped away as it came towards her. "Someone kill it!" She wailed like a tiny kit in the nursery. Today was going to be a weird introduction to the clan.

[Falcon]

Beetlepaw leapt out of the shadow crushing the spider in her attempt to catch a leaf, despite the cat being an apprentice she still had a great deal of kit mentality, she didn't really have any friends because of it but she didn't really notice it much, she didn't talk anyway so what could she really be missing

[Respronics]

An apprentice, seemingly unaware of the situation, crushed the spider. Antfern, being small, probably looked like an apprentice herself. The female blinked, relaxing and watching the girl. Studying. "Hello and thanks. I'm Antfern." The warrior decided to speak as she seemed to be unnoticed. Snorting slightly, she looked at her paws. Would the apprentice mock her for her fear? Probably.

[Falcon]

Beetlepaw didn't seem to hear the other she-cat speak leaping to try grab the leaf, even in the warmer seasons when they're was plenty of prey she was still thin and frail just like the day she was born, but with the prey finally returning she'd be able to put a bit of meat on her bones at least for a slight time

[Respronics]

Eh, heck with it. Leaping up, she would join the apprentice. Swatting at a leaf as it fluttered past. A smile curving her normally frowning lips. This, well, it was fun. "I got it!" She called as she tried to catch the leaf. she didn't know if it would work. Heck, she wasn't sure if she was playing right ether. Oh well.

[Falcon]

Beetlepaw took the leaf from the warrior eager to finally finish her 'present' that she had been building all day, she had been trying to get that leaf for ages but now she had it so she could finally make it perfect for whomever she decided to give it too, she was known for making small piles of whatever she could find and giving them to cats to try and cheer them up

[Respronics]

After a moment, she realized the reason this apprentice was so odd to her. Shock, then a sudden softness filled her eyes. She still had the mind of a kit. Smiling softly, she watched her take the leaf and blinked. "It was a prize well earned." She praised as she offered a kind smile to the young female.

[Falcon]

Beetlepaw set the leaf down on her pile of stones and sticks and tilted her head, it didn't look quite right... she studied it intensely where had she gone wrong, maybe it needed more sticks she pushed it away into her little hiding place to completely later, looking around for something else to do for a little while

[Respronics]

"Hey. Do you like to go hunting?" She offered as she moved forward and sat stood near the girl. Her eyes were soft. She was motherly, and thus she cared for this girl. "We can go explore or something if you want." She adds softly. Her velvety voice friendly and reassuring.

From afar, the large brooding tomcat watched from his smooth rock perch. Snorting at the apprentice and she-warrior swatting and batting at each other and the crawlies that dotted the very earth like mindless kits. Ridiculous, thought the umber coated tomcat, that I deal with such kit-like cats on a day to day basis. The-liger like warrior's tail flicked back and forth as he continued to judge the two cats. Hearing the she-cat's question of hunting, the large brute snorted.
"My, if you were to go out hunting, what would the likes of you two get? A grasshopper, perhaps a few ants on your paws?" Thornbriar commented rudely before letting out a barking laughter. "How about a game? If the two of you kits catch anything as big as a field mouse, I'll give you my entire dusk meal. If not, I get both of yours." Grinned the tomcat his white tipped tail flicking devilishly as he slowly strutted over circling both the apprentice and she-cat, his tail brushing the underside of her chin before leaning to her ear. "I look forward to a well balanced coarse this dusk time."
        

[Falcon]

Beetlepaw looked at the tom cat, he was big like her brother, but she didn't like it he looked like someone pulled off his tail, she quickly glanced behind him, nope still there, so why was he so grumpy? her ears flicked when he mentioned eating was he hungry? well then she'd go get him something! Beetlepaw let out a happy distorted slur of a giggle before dashing toward the entrance to go get the grumpy cat something to eat

[Respronics]

Antfern hadn't noticed him at first. He watched them from a rock in the distance. Her gaze soon darkened as she looked at him. His voice having grabbed her attention. Her jade green optics narrowed into slits as she studied him. The apprentice sized warrior twitched an ear. She would have ignored him, until he made one big error. The one thing that turned her from calm and normal her, to snappy grump butt. He touched her.

"And what, per say, are you doing? Laying about like a lump of worthless fluff? Yet you tease us? Please big boy." She retorts with a snort before smirking at him. She tilted her head, as if amused by him. "A game does sound nice. Sad to say you won't be eating at dusk." She adds with a snicker. That was when Beetlepaw ran off. Whirling, she went wide eyed. That apprentice was going out there, alone. Great. Lurching forward, she raced after the girl. Hoping to keep up.

[Deleted]

Thornbriar's gaze flicked towards the small Beetlepaw and her slurred giggle. "What...How dare you laugh at me..." Thornbriar growled lowly but was soon cut off as the little cat waddled out of her way to the entrance. Huh, glancing back to the other she-cat he smirked once more before she began to speak. "Big boy? Who do you think you're talking too mouse-brain?" The brute snapped at her his tail flicking in irritation as he listened to her continue her thoughts against the game. With a snort, Thornbriar watched her dart off to the entrance and smirked lunging quickly, catching the tip of the she-warrior's tail with his claws. "Lets make it more interesting. I'll be watching from afar little kitten. but I want it to be a game between you, and that little slurring apprentice that just left. Separated." Chuckled the tomcat with a sick grin across his muzzle before letting her scamper off. "I'll be waiting!" He called grinning with a low chuckle, "ah hah....Waiting indeed...."

[Falcon]

Beetlepaw was already looking for something to feed the grumpy tom, he was big like her brother and her brother liked rabbit, would the big cat like rabbit too? she wasn't sure but it didn't hurt to offer she scented the air like her big brother taught her moving toward the scent of prey, slowly moving and studying around her with not quite clear eyes before she stumbled across a thrush, picking for bugs in the crack of a rock, maybe she could help the thrush and it could tell her where a rabbit lived! she approached the bird and reached down in the crack to gently grab the thrush so she could get it out to talk, not understanding her own strength her jaws clamped down tight snapping it's thin neck as she pulled it from it's place, oh now it was taking a nap her tail flicked in annoyance and she probed it with her paw why did every little prey friend she tried to make always take naps on her like this? Was she not good enough to be their friend?

[Respronics]

Yanking free, the girl glared at him before bolting out of the camp and off to hunt. He wants to be a jerk? Fine. She could play that way too. Smirking, she raced towards the one place she knew she would find food. Water. Shivering, the girl moved along. Scenting the air as she went.
