OOC: Sorry I didn't post. Busy with school.
IC: "I told you, I'm not a kittypet!" Wish hissed angrily. She took a deep breath before continuing. "I wasn't personally involved the fight against Shadowclan, but some of the rougues bragged about it and I overheard." she explained, "Touslepelt's lot really aren't the humblest of cat's." she said, rolling her eyes sarcastically.

OOC: hey Nightpaw just as long as you come back i don't care.
To Coals huge surprise the she-cat didn't react much at all. Instead, she just hissed, "I told you, I'm not a kittypet." But hen she just took a deep breath and continued more calmly. "I wasn't personally involved in the fight against Shadowclan but some of the rogues bragged about it and I over heard." She snorted. "Touslepelts lot aren't the humblest cats." Coal padded silently forward. She looked between Cheetahpelt and the she-cat. Coal decided to but in before Cheetahpelt could say something that would offend the other she-cat. "What's your name?" she asked the she-cat. "Mines Coal. And what in the world do you to mean by Shadowclan? What battle? Ugh. Would you two like me to leave?" Coal reliazed her mistake. She twitched her light gray ear uncomfortably and backed away. She knew she couldn't out run them. And she couldn't turn her back in fear of both of them attacking her.

IC: Wish rolled her eyes at the kittypet's ignorance. "The forest is divided into 4 clans: Shadowclan, Thunderclan, Riverclan, and Windclan. Sometimes they fight and sometimes they get along. There are mentors, apprentices, queens, elders, and the clan leader. And my name is Wish. Thoses stupid twolegs insist on calling me Cutie." she said emarassedly, "Shadowclan got chased out of their home by a band of rogues and loners and now they are bunking with Thunderclan."

Coal listened quietly as the she cat explained. Her mind tried to grasp the idea of many cats living togetther. She remembered spoting three cats go when she had first been let out of her kitty-carrying case. They didn't stray beond the trees. She suddenly knew that they were part of the clan life. Wish, as the she-cat introduced herself as, knew about them, so did Cheetahpelt who was strangely quiet. "Oh." Coal meowed. "And why aren't you with them? Did they kick you out?" Coal knew she shouldn't be asking Wish questions for fear of the consquences but her curisoty was aroused. She waited breathless for the answer.

"Of course not! I was born a loner." Wish said in a slightly irriatated voice, "Besides, who would want to be in a clan. There are so many rules and they believe in some myth called Starclan. Not to mention they always act so arrogant, just because they're part of some gang." she said scornfully.

Coal listened as Wish explianed how the clan cats were arrogant. And that she was a loner. Wish was scornful of them but for some reason Coal feared them. A haunting memory flodded back to her. A memory she didn't want. She shook her head and flicked her ear uncomfortably. "What's a loner?" she asked hoping to reveve herself form the dark places of her mind.

"Kinda obvious, isn't it?" she said, her whiskers twitching in amusement, "A loner is a cat without a clan. We can do almost whatever we want. Clanners don't like us though." she said, a bit of pride creeping into the last sentence, "Why do you want to know so much? Most kittypets would've ran away and bawled for their twolegs to throw stones at us."

"Right." Coal drew out the word slowly. She was amazed by her own stupidaty. "Well." Coal meowed. "I don-no. I guess you guys are the first cats I've met here. And no offense but at a distance you don't seem so dangerous." She paused hoping to get away with the remark. "Any way, I guess I must have a death wish or something cause up close you could rip me to shreds and still have time to laugh. Anyway i've just kitted seevn suns ago. I guess i was bored." Coal shurgged her shoulders. "And perhaps i like to walk on the wild side. Rick certainly was wild." Another memory brust into her head. A happy one. Coal shook her head and focused on the conversation.

ooc: mind if i step in?
ic: Ghafula stopped short of approaching the cats at the other end of the yard. Still near the fence where he had landed on the other side of, the young, huge-eared kit whose spotted neck bore a royal-blue collar stood and watched from a distance. One thing he was really good at was listening.
These were the first cats he had seen at all since leaving home. And they didn't look friendly. ~I won't get anywhere by just standing here, being afraid,~ he thought. And that one cat had colours and patterns that reminded him of his brother and sister and Mumma. And himself. Ghafula slowly forced his muscles, poised in fight or flight reaction, to unlock and begin to carry him forward.
The overlarge kit didn't realise what an unusual sight he would look to any stranger. Though of great size, he was clearly a youngling, and what an odd-looking one at that.
"Huh-hullo?" he chirped, his tawny, spotted paws coming to a stop in the grass, where he was out of pouncing range. The end of his tail waved back and forth, it seemed like some part of him or other was always moving.

Wish looked around to the sound of the voice and was surprised to see what looked like a strange looking, very large kit. "Hello. What's wrong with you?" Wish asked, not bothering to be polite. The kit looked like one of the cats that the clanners told about in their stories.

Ghafula swallowed, and his ears angled outwards as he tried to think of an answer fast. "Nothing." That wasn't true, thought the kit, he had a million things wrong with him. "Um well I'm kind of--hungry." That was the most pressing thing he felt as of now. It seemed like he couldn't think of anything but food, and that more and more. His collar itched a little where it parted the short fur on his neck and he shrugged one shoulder to shift it a bit.

"Do you know how to hunt?" Wish asked. She wasn't sure of his survival knowledge. He looked like a kit, but he was about the same size as her and it seemed like it would be easy for him to hunt.

"Um...kind of...well, not really." He wondered briefly if digging out a chipmunk from its burrow counted as hunting. It had seemed a little too easy to do, and for something that should have been so easy, he had taken a while to kill the thing. Ghafula's eyes looked downwards, then he looked up, feeling more hopeful all of a sudden. He had an idea. "Can you show me?"

Wish sighed, "Yeah, I'll teach you." she grumbled as she walked over to him, "Okay, first scent the air. Can you pick up the scent of any prey?" she asked.

Ghafula's big nose sifted the air. "Yes," he said, quietly so as not to scare any prey away, although he seemed not to have taken into consideration that only a moment ago and in the same spot, he had been meowing at normal volume. He smelled a delicious smell, but one he had never seen the maker of: a mouse.
