Instantly, his fur bristled nervously, but he tried to look relatively friendly at the same time. He stepped forward protectively, moving to stand slightly in front of South. "We're looking for the clan cats, and somebody we know, more specifically our brother." The tom meowed, forcing his fur to lie back down flat. "We mean no harm." He swallowed heavily, looking at South and then returning his gaze back to the warrior she-cat. He was taken back by how fit the clan cat was, he could see her muscles moving under her pelt. There was no doubt that she could easily injure or even kill the both of them.

For a moment, fear radiated from ears to tail tip as South's eyes focused on the Clan cat that stood before them. After a few moments, her muscles relaxed just a smidge. All her life she had heard whispers of these majestic Clan cats, and had spent countless hours wondering over them. And now... the one standing before her was right around her size! Despite the tense situation, a scoff left her lips and she rolled her eyes. "You're a Clan cat?" she inquired, leaning her head forward as if she couldn't believe her ears. Amusement lit up her gaze and she shook her head. "I don't believe that for a second. You're the same size I am!"
The ThunderClan warrior focused on West as he spoke, clearly reading his anxious yet cautious advances. She could tell that he meant no harm, and her ears detected a hint of truthfulness to his words. Littledragon opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by South offering her own two cents. At the comment about her size, the dark she-cat's hackles rose further, and her eyes narrowed into slits which shot over to South. "I'm sorry, I must not have heard you correctly. I'm the same size as who?" she snarled, advancing slowly on the she-cat, claws already unsheathed and tail lashing. A fierce growl left her lips, causing South to jump back just a bit, ears flat against her head and the mocking look vanishing from her face. Casting one last glare to South, Littledragon looked back at West, relaxing a bit and matching his posture. "You said you're looking for your brother? Which Clan was he a member of? I don't recognize your scent, and by your companions remarks," she paused, casting an annoyed sideways glance towards South before continuing through clenched teeth, "I don't assume you're from one of the surrounding Clans either." A thought popped into Littledragon's mind and she blinked, a shocked expression dawning on her. "Are you two Syndicate members?"
