The Calliby watched with slight amusement as the Deputy reacted to what she was saying. A small smile etched on her face. She opened her maw to say something, but she was inturrupted by a kit waddling their way. The Warrior simply looked down, and moved her paw, attempting to give them a little pat on the head. "Hello little one." she hummed.

Bi colored hues looked back up at the Russet molly, tail flicking back and fourth. Now. How was it she thought of the Deputy? Surely the molly herself realized how she was coming across. It wasn't that she disliked the other, no, it was more along the lines of...well... "My advice to you, is to fix your attitude." she said blatantly with a smile. "You come off with quite a haughty air." she paused for a moment to look back down at the kit, than looked up once more. "I wasn't lying when I said you were doing a good job...however. Might I suggest having a little bit of a nicer air to your clanmates."

Blue-gray feathers littered the entrance to the ThunderClan camp, drifting idly between the tangles of brambles. Bluejays were noisy quarry--constantly shattering the silence of the forest with their shrill warning cries. However, the mocking squalls of jays were of no concern to Echofall. He could detect the faintest flash of indigo in the holly fronds, the slightest glisten of beady eyes in the underbrush. He carried the dispatched jay into camp, sapphire eyes focused and unreadable, comparable to the jay's mangled feathers in hue. The deaf kittypet-turned warrior was an austere looking cat--a long and lean blue-point Siamese; entirely out of place in comparison to his brawnier, more distinctly feral clanmates. He kept his head lowered, his gaze distant--his mind was somewhere else, and in his stupor, he accidentally collided with a smoke tabby apprentice.
Falconpaw spun on her heel, tail flicking with irritation, "Hey, watch where you're--"
She trailed off, immediately recognizing the deaf warrior. The silent tom was intimidating--a frigid presence, and the young cat stammered for words, backing away, "I--oh, Echofall, I'm--sorry about that, I..." she trailed off, unsure if Echofall could comprehend her hasty apology. The lean warrior simply flattened his ears and narrowed his eyes, delivering a withering glower that sent Falconpaw stumbling out of the way.
I'm deaf, not blind. He thought to himself, exasperated. He rolled his eyes as the apprentice bounded away in a flustered hurry, unnerved by his presence.
Nothing new there. He lashed his tail as he placed his quarry on the fresh-kill pile, the frosty hairs of his nape vaguely ruffled.

Around the moment that Echofall was having the small spat with Falconpaw, Gravehound entered the clearing. The absolutely soaking warrior padded over despondently to the fresh kill pile, carrying a dripping pigeon in his mouth as he did. Well there went yet another potential group of friends that not hated him, and though it was nothing new it was disheartening. Gravehound didnt mean to mess up that hunting patrol, he had honestly saw a fish in the river and after so many instances of watching the riverclan cats do so with great success had jumped in to try and grab it. Of course no one understood him when he tried to explain he was fine and so the great scrabble to save the 'drowning' warrior ended with the entire group soaking wet and furious with him. At least he still had his pigeon for his trouble, the tom reflected placing the bird on the edge of the pile and sitting down with a thump.

This was intolerable if his fur wasnt so long he'd be at least dry by now, Gravehound internally grumbled shaking to rid himself of the clinging droplets. Except that was a mistake too. The tabby realised his blunder mid shake, finally noticing the siamese cat standing close enough to be potentially caught in the spray too late and stopped, freezing in place in anxiety. Oh no did he get, Echofall wasnt it, wet?! He honestly couldnt tell but moved to appologie immediately anyway.

Mouthing and signing in tandem he lifted a paw to his chest tapping twice 'I'm' before skipping over the mouthed 'so' and dipped his head into a semi bow ears going low in an exaggerated humiliation 'sorry'. Another double chest tap 'I' followed by a head shake 'didn't' and him tapping near his eyes and covering them to emphasise 'see' before finally pointing at the other tom 'you'. Usually this strange charades and mouthing was enough to get his point across and he hoped it did but he still lowered his head slightly waiting to be yelled at by yet another cat who couldn't understand him or didnt care.

At least the day being as ruined as it was meant it couldn't go further than rock bottom.

The little details that his clanmates were so enthralled with being social, that they missed. Pigeonhop jumped slightly as a cat approached him.

Flametooth padded up tot he tomcat.
This cat would mentor his munchkin and he would NOT let anything happen to her. She had already through so much.

Hello

He says quietly

I’m flametooth, I heard your mentoring my daughter

His gaze was stern as he looked at the tomcat.

What now? Echofall huffed internally, as he felt the cool sensation of water against his pelt. He whipped around, already bristling, sapphire eyes fiery. However, the deaf warrior's irritation seemed to evaporate immediately when he laid eyes on the offending cat. Disappointment, dejection, frustration, the mute warrior's emotions hovered around him like stormclouds, and Echofall noted the sharp pang of dismay swelling in his chest as he felt the gray tabby's discouragement in full. Echofall paused, the fire slowly receding from his elegant features. He followed Gravehound's gestures carefully, discerning the apology rather quickly. He was familiar with this cat, if only slightly--one of the few other warriors Echofall could think of who experienced the world entirely differently from other cats...a warrior much like himself.
Echofall dipped his head, letting out a soft sigh, "It is...okay..." he decided aloud. His voice was frail from disuse and disjointed, marked with peculiar pronunciation. He tried to keep his voice lowered--it often crescendoed unintentionally. Speaking, however, was quite difficult for the Siamese tom, though he tried to accommodate his clanmates regardless.
He hesitated, studying Gravehound with icy eyes, his head tilted slightly. He flattened one ear and raised the other in a distinctly quizzical manner, his mouth wrinkled. The question iterated by the deaf tom's expression was rather clear: what happened to you?

A small kit sniffled and coughed as he trudged through the thick undergrowth that was taller than him. Wrenkit hadn’t grown much during his absence from the clan- likely due to a lack of food- and he barely looked the moon older that he was. The young Tom had barely survived his ordeal and even now felt that he was on the cusp between life and death. If only someone from his clan would come find him- he’d be reunited with Swallowkit and Kestrelkit once more!

He turned around as the kit fell face-flat onto the grass. 'Ouch. That had to have hurt.' The tom had no idea how she just popped up unfazed, but it was whatever. He could tell she was very determined if she literally got headfirst into the ground and bounced back up as if nothing happened.

The he-cat was about to take a step forward when Swallowkit came dashing towards him. He instinctively turned around, but she would still be able to catch his tail from there.

WOOP! Swallowkit let out a loud squeak of superior triumph as she managed to catch his tail. "I GOT YOU i GOT YOU! NOW YOU GET TO GO IN THE FIRE! FIRE FIRE FIRE!" She was still unsure where she'd gotten the fire thing from but like, she'd learned it so it wasn't like she was going to quit it! They could never tell her to quit it! Nor would she quit beating up cats but like... that was a hobby..

"Look! I won!" She was insanely proud of herself and pulled a bit more on it with her teeth. Could she maybe drag him across the clearing? She most certainly hoped so! That would be fun. But... could this cat maybe bring her an actual souvenir? Cause Buckstar had never managed to do that and it was disappointing, wasn't like a leader supposed to bring good gifts?

"Can you give me good souvenirs?"

[Exis]

Smokekit wandered around the forest, he hadn’t meant to get lost he’d just been searching for supplies for his designs. “Hello!! Can anyone hear me!!”

______________


Ferretleap bounces around the territory, he’d been coming back from a patrol when he’d been scooped up by some twolegs, luckily he’d escaped but it been a scary enough experience to put the cat in dinial.

Duststrike pushed his way into the nursery to visit his mate, Dawtail. When he saw she wasn't there, he decided he'd talk to another queen: "Hello". he said. (Open)

@DashthePegasus

“Sure Flutterkit!” She bent down a little, prepared for what the other kit was gonna do.
