White paws padded softly through the valley making no noise except for the occasional soft swish of the grass as it slid agaisnt the paw pads. Brown eyes scanned their surroundings taking in every single detail of the place. Moontea purred she was amused to find that this place was still the same as the last time she was here which was moons ago. The last visit she had been smaller and had still retained some of her old care-free self but now none of that was left, she had no compassion for other creatures no matter what species except for a few cats who she had respect for. There was one cat who had never left her thoughts and that was her sister, Nutmeg. Some part of her, a small part, still wished she had chosenthe path that her sister had chosen but unfortunatly she had not and this dwelled on her thoughts many nights when she had enough peace and quiet to think about her past.

Nutmeg was asleep, curled up in a tight ball in the little camp that she and her foster mother Leaf shared. But something - perhaps the scent of her sister touching some unconscious memory - woke her. She opened her eyes and lifted her head. Quickly, she took in a breath and looked around, as Leaf had taught her to always do in case something was trying to surprise attack her. She had lived a peaceful life, and never needed that, but now she was glad that she was in the habit. Because she tasted in the air a scent she had long since given up on ever smelling again.
Wide awake, Nutmeg got to her paws with grace. She was older now, a lithe tabby. Her paws were no longer too big for her body and she had lean muscles that rippled under her pelt when she moved. Her life was an easy one, but she still worked hard. Silently, she let her paws carry her towards the source of the scent. She quickly found her sister. "Moontea," she said with a soft smile. At the same time that she was quietly rejoicing within, the not-so-innocent part of her reminded the rest - she is not the same cat you grew up with. Be careful, Nutmeg, very careful.

Unwillingly Moontea's facial expression softened and for the first time in a long time a happy purr rumbled in her chest. "Nutmeg" she meowed calmly. Her serious brown eyes melted as she looked at her sister who had also grown. Moontea's heart ached to go back to the old days. She padded forward to be closer to her sister. "Im so sorry I didnt visit sooner" Moontea meowed. "Though I dont want to admit it I did miss you....and many a day I thought that I might come back...." she whispered.

"I'm glad you came - let's forget the long time between your visits and talk while you're here. How well is your path leading you?" She blinked as she used the word her sister so often used to refer to any choices life presents. Nutmeg used to think that paths were a terrible metaphor, but she had since realized that there was something to the interpretation - as long as a million crossing and intertwining roads, not just paths that started at the beginning and went straight to the end without detour.

"I'm thinking about settling down, give up on the whole big bad loner thing. I can be strong without having to be evil" Moontea meowed. She purred happily as she waited for her sisters reaction. Moontea hoped that Nutmeg would be happy since she never really agreed with Moontea's way of thinking. "I still believe that everyone has a path to follow but there are also points in paths where there are many different ways to go and im changing my direction" she meowed.

Nutmeg tried to stop herself from grinning, but failed. It wasn't an I-told-you-so grin at all, though. Instead it was a loving, innocent, joyful smile. Her sister was considering coming back and staying. "You already know how glad I would be if I could visit you when I missed you." What she thought, but didn't add, was And if I know that you're safe. She couldn't help but worry for her sister's security; any cat who refused to love was bound to have enemies. But Nutmeg had a feeling that expressing her concern would be unappreciated by her rebellious sister. Don't act motherly now, Nutmeg. Watch your step, she warned herself.

Moontea purred and flicked her sisters ear with her tail. "Now my next adventure shall be locating territory to live on." she meowed happily. "And dont worry i try and find the closest unclaimed territory to this place" she said sweeping her tail to so that she meant Leaf's Valley. She play growled at her sister and pounced lightly towards her "You still as slow as you used to be?" she teased.

Nutmeg's whiskers were relaxed, showing how at ease she was with the situation. Her ears confirmed the same sentiment, even as she sidestepped away from her sister's playful pounce. "Oh, I wouldn't say that..." Her words were taunting, but her purr filled them with warmth. She started carefully circling her sister, keeping the other cat in view. It was a fun thing to practice - the mind-game that happened before most fights. Even as she made her muzzle shape in a determined half-smile, her soft yellow eyes showed the laughter and fun behind all of her movements.

Moontea tensed her leg muscles and leaped palyfully over her sister landing on the opposite side of the circle her sister was walking in. She batted Nutmegs ear with sheathed claws to make sure she didnt hurt her sister even the tiniest bit. Moontea paused for a second "I wonder how Czar's doing...." she meowed softly. Moontea quickly looked at her sister "Not that I'm going to become evil again, it's just he was nice to me like Leaf was to you" she meowed. Moontea shrugged she missed the tom who had taken her in but she didnt want to ruin the happiness. Moontea flicked her sister again with her tail.

"Yeah, you should find him. But you better not be leaving so soon." Nutmeg trusted her sister completely. It would have been impossible for the innocent and idealistic she-cat not to put all her faith in Moontea. Nutmeg simply assumed that everyone was as reliable and kindhearted as the cats she knew best. It was a dangerous view of the world, but until she learned the hard way Nutmeg had no thoughts of anyone betraying her. So it hadn't even crossed her mind that her sister would "turn evil again" because in her mindset, Moontea never really had been evil.
Nutmeg growled comically, and batted at her sister with a soft paw. She was so happy just to see her sibling again that she didn't care about the rest of the world. She was living in the moment, and in the moment she was purely joyful.

"I'll go see him later" Moontea meowed scanning her sisters eyes. She sighed in her thoughts her sister was innocent, too innocent for her own good. An overwhelming sense of protectiveness flooded Moontea's heart. She couldnt and wouldnt let anyone hurt her sister, ever. "Right now all I want to do is spend some time with you" she purred.
Moontea batted her in return and softly pounced on her sister. She licked the she-cats her happily. "Im so happy to be back" she purred.

"So, sis... what far-off and magical forests have you seen?" The inquiry was posed as a joke, because Nutmeg didn't want her curiosity to leave her sister in an awkward position. Moontea might not want to answer such a prying question, and if it were a joke she could just laugh it off. On the other hand, if the less innocent sister didn't mind sharing her travels, she could just as easily do that. After all, there was a thick, trusting bond between the littermates - or at least, Nutmeg felt that she would lay her life on the line for Moontea and that Moontea would return the favor. It was so obvious that she never thought that Moontea possibly didn't see their relationship the same way.

Moontea flicked her tail to dismiss the subject. "Eh nothing worth talking about" she meowed. Her eyes glimmered for a second at the thought of her travels. "Anyways, what have you been doing since I've been gone" she asked. Moontea sat and wrapped her tail around to where it touched her paws.

Nutmeg didn't try to figure out whether her sister had moved past the topic out of boredom or some deeper emotion. The innocent cat trusted that her sister could deal with what she needed to deal with, and didn't need any undue prying. She didn't have to fake the smile that stretched her muzzle when her sister asked about what the goings on had been in Leaf's little valley. "I've not been doing much - learning more every day, though." The purr under her tone showed just how happy she was. She was one of those few truly content cats who lived in the forests. She loved where she lived and who she lived with, and didn't really need anything else in order to be joyful.

Moontea purred softly and licked her paw. She ran her paw over her ears in a quick couple of motions. "So is Leaf still the boring rule follower she was when I last saw her?" Moontea asked her eyes sparking slightly with traces of sarcasm. In truth the reason she had gone with Czar instead of Leaf was because she wanted to be strong and fierce therefore Czar was the obvious choice. Her eyes scanned her sister judgmentally. Her sister wasn't weak but she was still innocent in mind and Moontea knew that if she had stayed with Leaf she would probably be the same way.
