[Open] A Kittypet Lost In The Dark, Dark Woods
 

Darkness.

That was what greeted him, once the hazy dreams he had had ended.
It was certainly not the darkness that enveloped humans' houses at night- no, this was a darkness that challenged even a feline's naturally impressive light perception.

Where... where did they go? was his first thought.

The tom uncurled himself and rose shakily to sit- tail over paws- and look over fur almost as dark as the shadows in the dimlit gloom (though the white highlights dampened the effect).

"They wouldn't just..."

A paw stretched up to touch his brown leather collar.

"No, of course they would," the tom muttered in a raspy, sleepy voice.

He slowly waved his tail, puffed up his fur, and stretched his back, momentarily resembling the crooks of a nearby tree's branches- for he was in a forest, as his adjusting eyes and nose told him.

Then his fur slicked back down, as he flattened his ears in fear.

Nicht knew he was a long way from any house, right now.

Jay-->

He staggered up to The tom "H-hello.. I just saw you and I- Thought.." He said, looking to the tom. "I- thought you might need help?" jay asked. He only had been helped.. he had never helped another cat!

The housecat let out an instinctive hiss, then blinked.
"Help?" he rasped. "In this spooky forest? Why... why are you even here? Did you get-" his voice wavered a little. "...dropped off by a human, too?"

Jay-->

"Im here because.. yes.. I got dropped off here. But im pretty good at living out here.. I can show you the ropes." He said. "I'm jay. pleased to meet you." He said. the then thought of how skittish he was.. running.. hiding.. but that was behind him.

"What do you mean..."
He shook his head. What mattered was survival, not questioning the motives Jay had for pleasantries, or the hesitations in his speech. "Nevermind. I was named Nicht," he said, a little gruffly. "Are you really going to teach me how to survive in this place?"

Beetle sat in the trees above eyeing Jay as he interacted with the dreaming cat. He grimanced at how weak the cat sounded but let it slide. He was scared, and had every right to be. One mistake and Beetle would end his life. Simple.

Right after his last question, Nicht's whiskers twitched.
For some reason, he now felt more unsettled than he had been before, and it showed in his body language.

Jay -->
He walked into the bushes, and stopped after a few steps. "This is a good spot. So, how you hunt is you crouch, and move forward, like this." Jay said, crouching, and moving forward

Beetle tail swung amusedly. Jay, teach how to hunt? Lets see where this goes....
