Leopardstorm opened her eyes, sticky with sleep. Her nostrils flared and at once she jumped up to the scent of another cat. She listened a moment. Judging by the scent it was a tom. He's not that far... Leopardstorm kept listening then bolted out. She positioned herself quietly in the camouflage and shadows of ferns and a bush, waiting, watching. Waiting for the tom to come by. Watching for the perfect moment to strike. Her claws flexed in and out. Her one eye, pupil slit, just wandering and waiting for the cat.
"Are you waiting for a mouse or just rather enjoying the bushes?"
Leopardstorm's eye widened as she heard the voice. She stepped out and looked up to the tree's where a strange blur was making his way down. "You got me."Leopardstorm purred. Since the cat had spotted her, maybe she could escape a fight and manage to keep her fur unruffled. She watched the strangely colourd cat closely. The tom was tall and muscular, yet refined and soft. His gaze pierced through her like the talons of a hawk. She noticed the brilliance in his eyes. Red. With a trace of what looked like grey circles around them and slightly pink at the corners. He kept silent.
"I,-" Leopardstorm dipped her head curtly,"-am Leopardstorm. Welcome to the valley," She flicked waved her tail as if to welcome him. The tom nodded though didn't speak.
"I,...am Pein." He said in an almost hushed voice.
Not shy and not exactly firm. He was reluctant to reveal himself to the she-cat, Leopardstorm noticed this. "Please, no need to be so quiet. There's no one here but us." She smiled friendly the best she could. Pein nodded though didn't exactly hear her. His mind was in another place at the moment and sorting itself.
Leopardstorm continued watching him, her one eye stare. Her tail waved back and fourth as she waited for the tom to talk.
Pein wasn't exactly paying attention to the she-cat but decided he might as well speak, for he knew the she-cat would never let him go in peace without learning about himself. "So...,-" He began,"-it's,...nice here." He looked around. The abundance of prey, the shelter from the sun in the trees. The crevices he knew must be full of prey. Leopardstorm nodded. "It is." She meowed, also looking around and taking in the scenery with her one good eye. "I see you've been wounded in battle. Your name, it's of the clans. Were you once a clan cat?" Pein asked, being straight forward and more open. Leopardstorm shook her head. "No, you see, my mother gave us Warrior names and trained us under the warrior code, hoping that one day we would be able to live in the safety of the Clans. She was a loner. The scar, the wound,-"Leopardstorm paused and breathed in deeply then out the same,"-my father murdered my mother, and my litter-mates. I escaped because she protected me. After I was strong enough, I hunted the murderer down and killed him. Sadly though, he took my left eye," She sighed at repeating the story she'd only knew to well and had repeated only to few cats. Pein watched. Leopardstorm thought she saw curiosity and softness in his harsh eye and unusual eyes but if it was, it lasted only a second. She rapped her tail around her forepaws, awkwardly giving her chest a lick as the Tom watched her every movement.
