Eternals tail licked slowly from side to side. She leant over to Chance, He means by you condradicting yourself. if you'd said yes, you would have said you were something less than what you had previously said. Answer no? And you were condradiciting yourself. she murmured a lump of helpful advice into her ear. Chance didn't seem to be catching on at all, but Eternal noticed how she was still persistent in trying to find facts about the other cat. Even if it meant by getting into a fight.

Chance stifled a grin. What did this mean? Was Eternal on her side, just being helpful, or did she dislike Shadow? This was interesting....but she had to answer first.
"Oh. I didn't realize....thank you." she meowed softly to Eternal, not letting Shadow hear. Her voice was normal, but it had a tinge of pleasure in it. Chance always liked it when someone fell for her act.

"Eternal, that advice would have been more helpful had it been correct." He hadn't really been referring to how impossible his question was. He had been trying to say that she was playing his game and not fully answering questions. It didn't matter, so Shadow didn't put in his explanation. He simply kept it as his own personal joke. Whatever. He noticed something, though, in glancing over her face. She seemed to be softening. Was she getting used to the rhythm of the back-and-forth? Or was she trying to trick him? Shadow didn't care. He never predicted anything and therefor was surprised by everything - but he was so used to it that nothing surprised him more than usual. So, like always, he stayed on his guard. Only his subconscious relaxed; the rest of him went on with just as much careless wariness as usual. "Ask away, kitten." he said, referring back to Chance's earlier question. He didn't predict that he was give a straight answer, of course.

Chance smiled inside her mind, careful not to let Shadow know. He hadn't accepted her warm eyes at face value....but he was already reacting without knowing. His muscles were less tense, and his tail had stopped twiching. Yes, she was good. While Shadow might be a match to her....he would never be better.
"Why? Why are your eyes so empty?" she asked, knowing very well she was treading on dangerous ground. Her tone was light and kitish, but inisde she felt excited. Though she knew she shouldn't play these games, they were just so much fun.
Chance had a very hard time stopping a grin from forming on her lips.

The oddness of the question! It made Shadow laugh, though the deep sound held no warmth. He had no answer - though he probably wouldn't have given her one anyway. He had never thought of himself as empty, partly because he rarely occupied himself with any meaningful questions. He didn't dwell over the past or plan for the future. He lived completely in the present, more than any other. Chance didn't understand that state of mind. She was too young and proud. Shadow's strangely cold smile remained, and he watched Chance with pitch-black eyes. It was obvious that he was not going to respond.

Chance almost pouted. She would have liked more of a reaction....but a laugh was enough. And she needed to go anyway. She didn't like it here, and at least half of her instincts were screaming at her to leave.
But she wanted to find Shadow again...without tracking him down.
"Well, I think it's time for me to go." she meowed, as though she had an appointment to go to. "When can I count on seeing you again, Eternal, Shadow?"
She had added Eternal only because she might be useful, and because she didn't want to offend her. That would cause more trouble than it was worth.

"No, kitten. You can't count on anything. Learn that rule - live by it." His smiled vaporized, but only because he was to lazy to make the effort to continue smiling. His eyes held only a wisp of the sentiment - sarcastic friendliness - that his ebony orbs had held moments before. He didn't really think about what he said until afterwards, and then he only examined it out of curiosity. He had called her kitten, which made sense with the I'm-older-and-giving-advice thing. And the advice was what his life was, so why not give her that wisdom? She was to young to understand it and use it, but there was no harm in saying it...

Chance smiled. It was good advice....if o0nly she could convice herself to listen to it.
"Will I see you again then, Shadow? I'm certain you could find me if you wished to, and avoid me if you did not." she meowed, confident in what she was saying. She added a hopeful tone to her words as well, just for her amusement, mostly. Shadow didn't seem to care much about that.

"You're assuming that I care," Shadow pointed out. His tone was amused - still with no emotion to be heard. He had found it fun to banter with this young loner. She was easy to annoy, but seemed quite good at hiding it. And it was interesting to watch her coming up with replies to his strange, careless insults. She wasn't at all like him, but from what he could tell she admired - or, at least, was intrigued by - his cold, detached personality. But there were plenty of cats just like her, and he hadn't enjoyed her banter enough to go looking for her. So, in fewer words, it all balanced out to him not caring. No - there wasn't a balance exactly; he just simply didn't care in the slightest.

Eternal flicked her tail lazily at the thought of meeting the two cats. She yawned and stared at Chance. I have no intention of speaking to you again. Lest you forget, I have no need for you only you to I. To be honest, she mewed quietly breaking her the intruiging conversation between Chance and Shadow. Please, I'd rather eat dung than meet with you again. she mewed lazily, unbothered if it offended her or not. As Shadow said, don't count on it.

Chance narrowed her eyes, just a bit. She disliked being insulted, very much so. Eternal had better hope none of her kits wondered to Chance homes, because Chance would take great pleasure in corrupting them if they did.
Then she scolded herself. Eternal did not matter. She was a stupid, annoying, mothering loner who probably hadn't even killed a cat. Why would she, a young cat with everything to live for, and extremly talented, care about her opinion?
Satisfied, Chance turned to Shadow. There was no need to respond to Eternal's insult; Chance didn't like getting in fights, mostly because she always ended bloody, tired, hurt, or all three. And an insult wasn't worth it.
She looked closely at Shadow, not diguising the interest in her eyes. He obviously didn't care much about her, didn't even really notice her. She wondered what kind of cat it would take to get his attention, and hold it. Not her, that was for certain.
Chance shrugged mentally. It didn't matter; there were always some cats that found her little acts boring. But maybe she would track Shadow down...if she had the time one day.
"I am. Goodbye, Shadow. I'll see you again." Chance meowed slowly, as though tasting the words in her mouth. She walked away, carefully to the side so that if any cats chose to attack her, she would be ready.
And then she dissapeared into the brush, gone except for faint pawprints.

Shadow was about to go - he had stood and turned, poised to leave when Chance did. But then he remembered something that had occurred earlier that day. "I saw a little cat - smelled like your caves - trespassing on my land. Kin you yours? Looked like she had somewhere to go." He looked into Eternal's eyes for a moment, then turned back in the direction his land was in. He didn't have much of anywhere to go, but didn't feel like having a fight - and Eternal seemed to hate him just enough to start one. She didn't seem to need a reason. So he walked off, not waiting for her to respond to his little story. It had been kind of bugging him, which was unusual, and now that he'd relayed the information to Eternal he figured it didn't matter. It stopped mattering to him, and he decided to hunt for a snack back in his own territory.
OOC: I'm referring to Petal, who ran away early in the morning and went exploring, then to RogueClan - but maybe Eternal doesn't know she's gone, then comes home and realizes no one had seen her? It doesn't effect me much, but I want them to notice that Petal is gone.

Eternal flicked her ears and frowned. She hadn't seen Petal at all recently. Apple Stream and cloud seemed to have wondered off but she'd pick up their scents now and then. Mostly of a morning, as she set about to hunt their nests would be warm and used. However, Petals hadn't. After Shadow had gone, she was left alone in the filtering sunlight. A small breeze ruffled her fur. then she too paded off into the bracken.
