ThunderClan Territory

[Fawn]

Cloudburst wasn't thrilled. A patrol, with... this guy. He'd pretty much kept his distance until it was imperative not to, because every time he talked it was a British-accented assault on the ears and usually had a couple squawks to go with it. He'd managed to hold his tongue throughout the outing, not even saying anything when it became clear Birdchatter was intent on eating every single thing he could find that might have the potential be edible.

Cloudburst had continued walking in unawareness until he realized he stopped, then he followed suit to slow down to a halt and look over his shoulder. "Hey, get up here," he prompted. The request for help didn't budge him. "What are you even doing back there?" The exasperation in his meow was obvious.

Despite his reservations about Birdchatter, he hadn't expected him to go complete mouse-brain in the middle of the territory, though. But when Cloudburst finally connected why he wasn't moving and instead was yanking at his paw, he let out a loud groan. Cloudburst reluctantly walked over to examine the situation and yep, sure enough. He'd gotten himself stuck. "WHY DID YOU PUT YOUR PAW IN THERE?"

Her tail flicked as she heard her sister's voice, head turning to spot Linnetwing beside her. "I don't mind," she mewed, giving a welcoming smile. Duskstar continued to walk, opening her mouth to speak before an unfamiliar cat popped up in front of them, causing her eyes to narrow. The cat seemed to be quite young, and held the scent of rogue on them. How was she to react to that?
Before she could respond to anything, another voice appeared. Duskstar looked over her shoulder to see Buckbranch bounding towards them, her eyes narrowing even further at the sight. She resisted the urge to sigh and turned back around, looking toward the loner with an "I suppose." directed at Buckbranch. Just barely, she managed to not roll her eyes at his presence, instead focusing on the young loner.
"What are you doing here? This is ThunderClan territory," Duskstar questioned him, her tail lashing. She hadn't expected two of her Clanmates to join her, but she couldn't complain. Well, maybe she could. But she wouldn't. Yet.

Her eyes lit up when Duskstar introduced herself. "You're the leader?! Wow! I feel honored!" She dipped her head in respect, purring loudly. She never thought she'd meet the leader of ThunderClan! Heck, she hasn't even met Icestar yet.

When given the choice to go home or stay in ThunderClan, Quailkit's eyes lit up at the latter. "You'd let me stay here?! Oh my stars, I'd love to!" The brown kitten leaped with joy. What a lucky day! The thought of rejoining ShadowClan didn't even cross her mind. The only thing she looked forward to was food and a brand new home.

On the thought of food, her stomach cramped and growled loudly, causing her to hunch over a little. Flashing Duskstar a sheepish smile, Quailkit straightened and cleared her throat. "Uh, I haven't eaten in a few days...can we get some food?"

Duskstar chuckled awkwardly, her tail swaying. "Alright, you can stay here. Let's get you to camp and you can eat there." She blinked down at the kit before frowning. It'd be faster to carry Quailkit to the camp--besides, she's probably tired. The Torbie crouched down, making sure she was lowered enough to allow Quailkit to climb onto her back. "Come on, I'll take you there. Keep a tight hold, I don't want you falling." As soon as Quailkit was situated, she would stand and begin walking, carefully picking her way through the territory to leave the kit back to ThunderClan.

"Well," Birdchatter gave him a lopsided grin, tugging at his trapped paw more as he flattened his ears back. "This was botched, wasn't it? I didn't mean to get stuck, Cloudcoo, I promise!" More tugs, though these were beginning to become more and more useless.

"Cloudcoo," he whined the not-name of his companion, "help me out of this, love?"

Cloudburst wanted to smack a paw to his face in annoyance. "It's botched?! Yeah, it's botched-- I swear your head is botched--!" He wasn't fully conscious of the climb in volume and strain to his voice, just a naturally-occurring habit.

With a loud sigh, Cloudburst inserted himself into this ridiculous mess as he shoved Birdchatter aside to shuffle in the middle of the dilemma and get a better look. Then, he gave a pull with his paw over Birdchatter's foreleg. "Yep. Yeah, it's real stuck. Good going, mouse-brain. You wedged it." After he'd muttered his frustrations, he backed up a couple paces to face Birdchatter, then barreled toward him at full speed.

(since there's an actual thread for this now, I'll have the hunt continue here)

The dilute tortie dropped to the ground from her perch on the branch, giving Rathworl as side-eyed look as Rainywhisker padded off again, as if to say what's with him? But she quickly turned away, burying her catch in the softening dirt at the foot of the tree she'd been in. Straitening up, Moonbird noticed that both Ratwhorl and Rainywhisker had ducked out of sight to find their next catches. The she-cat debated taking to the trees again, but decided she might have a little bit better luck on the ground for now. She could chase a squirrel up a tree though, if needs be. Let's first see what's around.... Moonbird opened her mouth to scent the air, taking in the fresh, green scents that the roguewoods emitted. It might give off creepy, unsafe vibes, but it certainly had a better smell than the other Thunderclan territory did at the moment. She soon caught the scent of a vole, and Moonbird turned her head, before dropping into a crouch to follow the scent.

She rounded around a small evergreen bush, carefully poking her head out to see the vole a few fox-lengths away, chewing on something it found from the ground. The Thunderclan warrior crouched low to the ground, stalking forward with what little cover she had, Moonbird paused a moment before leaping, landing with the vole in between her paws. It let out a squeal that she quickly cut off with a bite to the neck. Then Moonbird stood, opening her mouth once more to see if there was something else she could catch before heading back over to the patrol's meeting spot.

Oop! Just after Cloudburst pulled on his leg, Birdchatter realized all he had to do was tip his paw down and-- voila! It was free.

"Cloudcoo!" He laughed as he stepped out of the way of his charge, watching as he went right for the tree. "Can you believe it? I just had to move my paw down! Isn't that silly, love?"

Linnetwing dipped her head towards her sister than scented the unfamiliar cat. All of sudden her nightmares shot through her head again. Oh no their going to kill me like in the dreams. Her fur fluffed up. The silver tabby molly wanted to say something about her nightmare, but it didn't matter it was just a nightmare she got so many times. Linnetwing really didn't like outsiders.

Linnetwing allowed him to make contact with her and she skidded on her side a couple of fox lengths away. The molly went limp and tensed up. She wondered what he would do in this situation. She forced her breathing to stop, making it look like she was actually hurt.

[Fawn]

When Cloudburst realized that asshole had freed his leg--and could have all along, he unfortunately only had time to awkwardly attempt side-stepping the tree but snagged its trunk anyway. He let out a loud swear at the collision, taking a couple awkward paces to check over his shoulder. That was going to definitely be a bruise later.

"I. Am going. To kill you."

The entire time! All that idiot had to do was move his paw a certain way?! Cloudburst hated him.
