Shadow had been having an all around good day. His morning had been particularly satisfying, complete with a brief fight - he'd won - and a light nap. He'd woken up at around sunhigh and felt very awake. Grabbing lunch on the way, he'd spent most of the afternoon in Clan territory, wandering and spreading his scent, just to anger the Clans. He had gotten into another fight with a rather strong warrior and been forced to flee, but even that hadn't put a damper on his downright good mood.
Now that it was the evening, more loners were about. He watched them roam with ebony eyes that, while showing off his lightheartedness, were somehow still cold and empty. He hadn't heard any conversations that moved him to join, but when he noticed the two she-cats talking something made him want to add in to their speech. He didn't analyze his emotions or thoughts, instead just walking toward the two without bothering to be silent in the slightest. He had no reason to hide himself; he wasn't afraid of anything.
"I agree," he said in a deep monotone, referring to the amber-eyed cat's comment. He recognized the other feline - Eternal.

Eternal tilted her head to the new comers voice. Shadow. she mewed nodding her head. Long time, no see. hre tail flicked over to her right as she gave Shadow a once over. It couldn't have been anymore than a moon ago that she'd seen him last; yet, he looked like he'd been bountiful in his picking of prey.
She licked the inside of her pinky red mouth that showed a set of sharp teeth. Of course, over a course of a month the both cats would have grown and even though they were adults, probably matured that slightest bit more. Of course, Eternal would have to, she'd had her family to think about so she had to look out for other cats as well as herself.
That brought her to dwell upon her kits, just for that heartbeat longer. Apple and Stream had grown. Petal had matured to a cat much older than she actually was, her intelligence too had grown considerably. The only kit that didn't seem to have grown at all was Cloud, he seemed to still cling on to her too much than he should have but he was learning. Which was what agitated Eternal, if you were brought up from a powerful, also considerably evil tom, like Touslepelt, you were bound to think the world revolved around you. Chance, looked as if she was still learning the pecking order of cats. The older you are, the more powerful and intelligent you are. In the case of Petal, the latter didn't really work... Eternal had seen Petal, more than once, out smart her father and older siblings.
The wind blew not far off and Eternal flicked her tail side to side in the awkward silence. This conversation, shall be very interesting indeed. she thought conciously. Chance had not yet met this loner and her laid back, i-am-powerful attitude with Shadows wittiness didn't exactly match.

Chance tipped her head to one side before speaking. She had noticed that it made her look younger, more immature. She knew Eternal thought of her as young and foolish, but she wasn't sure she'd be able to fool this new cat. Of course, she was young, and sometimes foolish, but her confidence was not based on thin air.
"So your name is Shadow..." she meowed curiously, as though asking for more information. "Are you around here often?"
Chance shifted her weight. She had felt safe enough with the female loner, but she wasn't about to get into a fight with two cats if she could help it. Not that she thought that they were going to gang up on her; they didn't seem that friendly. But Chance was of the opinion that it was better to be safe than sorry; better to run than to fight for no reason.

Deathfire made his way next to his mate. Who were these two cats and why were they even here, in Goldheart's territory? "Are these cats friends of yours?" He meowed, his eyes not leaving the two cats. He sat down and licked Eternal's ear, wondering what his Kits were doing, and if Rosethorn had hers yet. Already, he was nearly a grandfather. But did that make him old? No. Cloud, Stream, Apple, and Petal were still young, but they would grow up soon too, he knew it.

Chance tensed slightly. While she didn't think Shadow and Eternal would gang up on her, the newest one seemed to be a close friend or mate of Eternal.
Chance almost shook her head. She was being paranoid....but it wouldn't hurt to be ready to run. And, it wouldn't hurt to let her curosity get the best of her either.
"Hello." she meowed cheerfully. "Who are you?"

Eternal licked Deathfires ear in greeting and turned to look at Chance. She noticed how the cat tensed suddenly, perhaps realising that if she got into a fight with either of them, not that Eternal would help Shadow but they'd still have the upper hand. This is Deathfire. My mate. she mewed eyeing Chance carefully. Its not thatshe wanted to be hostile against the she-cat but she'd learned over the seasons not to trust cats so lightly.

"I see. " meowed Chance, before breaking protocol and asking something that was sometimes considered rude. "Do you have any kits?"
Chance's eyes sparkled; she loved kits, though she hated other cats knowing this, and she liked hearing about other cats lives. It was always much more interesting than her own. By this point, she had almost forgotten Shadow, but some forgotten instinct kept part of her mind on him.

Eternal narrowed her eyes, then noticed the young ones inquisitivness. Yes, I do. Four kits actually. she mewed proudly. the one thing she'd been happy about in her life was having her four beautiful kits. Stream was the wild one, Cloud the small but brave one, Petal the intelligent one and Apple the curious one. They were all sweet and it made her heart leap when she thought about becoming a grandmother. Even though she was only young for her age she was still to become a grandmother soon.

Shadow was about to respond to the younger cat's question - not with an answer, but with a question in return. He opened his mouth slightly, and then closed it. Turning his head slightly, he nodded to Deathfire. He was wary as soon as Eternal's mate arrived in the picture; the two had a tendency to team up. Shadow wasn't sure what would happen if some argument did arise, and didn't want it to be three versus him. He processed the situation quickly and came to his usual conclusion: whatever happens will happen, and I'll deal with it accordingly.
He wasn't particularly interested in Deathfire or Eternal. He had met them before and knew enough about their huge family. They were on the verge of a colony in and of themselves - all the loners at least knew a relative of the pair. Shadow had run into them many a time. It was not the life he lived, nor one he desired: they always had something to do or someone to see. Shadow was always alone and he preferred that.
The young she-cat whose name he did not know seemed different. She wasn't weak, for sure, but acted like she was completely full of herself. Most of the cats did. Pride ruled just about everyone. Shadow, on the other hand, didn't let his ego tell him what to do. He was afraid of nothing because he didn't let anything hurt him. He didn't fear stronger cats because he didn't fear losing fights. Besides her obvious and childish pride, Shadow couldn't figure out much about the young she-cat. He didn't need her name; that wouldn't tell him anything. So instead he turned to her abruptly and asked, "Would I know you parents or siblings?"

OOC: Sorry, I only get 30 mins on the computer a day...Chance is mysterious? Cool....
Chance relaxed a bit at Eternal's answer. She could tell that Eternal liked talking about her kits, and cared about them. It meant she wasn't a cold, cruel loner, and it also meant she had a weak spot. Chance would have liked to know every cat she met inside and out, so that she could predict them, but since she can't, she simply listens.
She turned to look at Shadow, her green eyes looking playful, but watching him carefully underneath. This cat was smart.....and she wasn't sure how well her facade would hold up with him.
"I don't think you'd know my siblings, and my mother isn't a cat you would know, but you might know my father. His name is Touslepelt: apparently he's taken over ShadowClan." she meowed casually, as though this meant nothing to her.

Deathfire chuckled. So, the she-cat is a offspring of Touslepelt. He thought. "I've worked for your father once. He's not a very trustworthy cat and obviously cares only for himself." He meowed. "Your probably not his only offspring. Without a doubt, you have half siblings." Every word he said was true. Even though he did not see him very often, what with spying on RiverClan, he knew his current life like he had known his own Kits.

Chance didn't flinch. She knew very well she had half siblings; she had met a few, actually. It wasn't something that concerned her. But she was slightly impressed; few cats would insult her father, and fewer still would mention 'half siblings'.
"Well, I can assure you I'm not like my father." Chance meowed blandly, finding it hard to act proud. Her father had some redeeming qualities, after all. And she knew she was rather like him, the difference was that they had different views of the world.
"I wouldn't mind half siblings. Have you met any of them?" she asked, careful to insert a tone of curiousity in her voice.

Eternal frowned. Half siblings or not, that no good, mangy cat steps anywhere near my land then I'll flay him from here to the mountains! You'd best not be like your father. Somehow, you are though. I've met both Darkheart and Touslepelt more than once and the both of them are no good flea bags! she sighed and then inclined her head towards Shadow, who'd been sat quiet, probably examining the conversation. Realising that she'd let herself out a little, she raised to her proper height and gave a quick lick across her shoulder. Just thinking of your father makes my blood boil. I can't believe that cats are afraid of him, after all, he is a cat. No more, no less, she mewed seriously I haven't seen any of your half siblings but your bound to fall upon them some time or another, most cats do. she finished stretching her front paws and shuffling closer to her mate.

Chance had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. She knew she could be in danger soon, judging by Eternal's rant, but she just couldn't make herself feel worried at the moment. She had heard this speech (or variations on it) ever since she was a kit. Sometimes it annoyed her that her father had to go and make himself so many enemies; she didn't need more cats who disliked her.
Chance then nodded, keeping her eyes wide.
"I'm really not; Mother always kept me close because I was the youngest of her litter. She taught me everything I know." Chance meowed. She wasn't the youngest of her litter, but she did keep close to her mother, though that was mostly because she found herself arguing with her father a lot. "I think more cats hate him than are scared of him. And I hope I meet one someday..."
