Mid-morning fish {BUTTERFLY X LEGEND - COMPLETED}

[Perception]

| Butterflynose. Warrior of RiverClan |

Two strikingly bright hues fastened on the target. A gentle breeze stirred the forest, but the feline held her concentration despite the rustle of leaves. The muddy coloured creature wiggled its nose, before jerking its head to one side. Did it realize it was being spied on? The she-cat decided to take her chance. Butterflynose rocked on her hind haunches before propelling herself forward with mighty force. The creamy colored she-cat managed to trap the rodent in between her paws where she finished the job she began. She briefly muttered to her ancestors above; thanking them for assisting them with the hunt. Butterflynose buried her prize, digging a reasonable sized hole before shifting the dirt back across the kill. It would be safe there until she returned later on in the sunrise. The long haired ragdoll preferred fish; trout, salmon, carp, nearly anything fishy seeming. But, she could appreciate a good mouse every now and then.


The she-cat slowly stood up and made her way through the grass; weaving towards the river. The river was a prime hunting spot, but it also marked the border with ThunderClan; naturally; an area to be wary. Although ThunderClan cats were drypaw’s, they tended to stray away from the water’s edge. Unless they were brave. Butterflynose stretched her long legs out in front of her, arching her back slightly before she settled down beside the river’s edge. The water flowed reasonably quickly. There were a few leaves dotted in the clean, clear crystalline water. Smooth rocks and shiny pebbles glinted below the water.


Butterflynose could not imagine being anywhere else. The she-cat’s pale blue eyes ventured past the river, into the territory of ThunderClan. RiverClan was her home, her beautiful home. The sound of the water rushing was like a song bird’s melody to her. The cats she knew and trusted were like kin. Those outside to the clan ought to be treated with caution. Butterflynose’s eyes fell away from the territory across from her, dropping down to the water. It was mid-morning; nearly sun-high, so there were no dark gloomy shadows looming over the water today. Butterflynose leaned further towards the water, almost as if she was going to take a sip of the cool liquid. Instead, her eyes fixated on herself – in the water appeared a reflection, Butterflynose herself. The copy had smoothed down fur, clearly recently groomed, eyes glowing warmly, ears erected curiously and a tail whisking the air in the background. Oh my, look at you. A smile curved across the she-cat’s maw, clearly pleased by her reflection. After a few moments, she gradually sat up; pealing her icy eyes away from her mirrored image. Now nothing would get done if I stared at myself all sunrise. Despite how appealing that is...

Butterflynose inhaled slowly and peered again into the flowing water; this time looking past her reflection. Without a moment’s hesitation, the feline struck the water with her paw; hooking her pale claws into the body of a slimy target. Butterflynose drew her paw out, attached was a small fish. Butterflynose placed the fish to one side, keeping it by her body in case any ThunderClan warriors were to show. One could never be too careful, she thought. Butterflynose had not spotted any clan cats yet, not in the small while she had been at the river’s edge. But, she knew it would be naïve to think someone would never show.

Legendrain

Warrior of ThunderClan
"I know the world is a cruel place, but it is up to you to stand your ground."

Song: Thunder by Imagine Dragons

Legendrain made her way out of her camp after she deposited her prey, squirrel and two shrews, into the fresh-kill pile. Hunting had been a blast. Chasing the squirrel in the trees had put her tree climbing skills to test. To her surprise, she passed. That little creature was much her nimble when using trees that she was. It was expected, but it made hunting a little harder. The two shrews were easy to catch. Her goal of bringing at least three prey into the camp was complete. All she had to do was to occupy herself. Being a workaholic had its perks. For example, she wouldn't complain when being given duties because she liked them. Being a lazy cat was a turn-off. 

She made her way towards the river the separated the ThunderClan and RiverClan territory. The smell of water told her that the river was just behind the trees. Another scent slapped her nose. RiverClan, she answered herself. Her pace quickened as if she anticipated an intrusion even though it was less likely that it was the case. The scent only got stronger as she got closer, which was a good sign. When she peeked through the bushes, she spotted one feline who seemed to be in love with her reflection. Her nose wrinkled with a distaste. For the love of StarClan, she thought. Get over yourself.  Despite the vain she cat's actions, the stormy gray warrior was somewhat amused.  She lied down at her spot with her legs curled neatly under her chest. I wonder how long it would take for her to do something else. The she cat continued to look at the rival warrior with narrowed eyes. 

Thankfully, it didn't take long for the RiverClan warrior to snap out of it. About time... Like a typical warrior, she had duties as well. Staring at the water was no help to the clan.  For a moment, Legendrain wondered if most of the warriors in that clan were that vain. They had plenty of water, and they were well-fed for the most part. Their pelts were sleek too as if the water did some work to them. The gray warrior decided to wait until the other feline finished hunting before she decided to slip out. A simple swipe was all it took for the fish to come out of the water. Interesting, she thought.

Legendrain slowly stood up and began to walk out of her hiding spot. She was rather confident that the other warrior didn't see her. Or at least gave no indication of it. Her intense golden gaze remained on the she cat as she walked over to the shore. The warrior was quite fluffy and had unique markings on her face. Her icy blue eyes stood out the most to the gray warrior. "There are interesting things beneath the surface," she said with a little hint of knowingness. The ThunderClan cat stopped at the shoreline and sat down. She lifted one paw and rested it on the surface. "I'm Legendrain."

| Butterflynose. Warrior of RiverClan |

The slimy fish gently wiggled at Butterflynose's side; capturing the warrior's attention. Butterflynose had caught the fish, but had yet to stop it from moving or bury it. She gave it a quick nip and proceeded to bury the small lifeless animal. The creamy colored figure twitched her left ear..It sounded as though the bushes across the river were rustling. However, it was not enough to distract the warrior from finishing burying the prey. When the she-cat had finished her task, she slowly ventured her sights back to the river. Again, becoming concentrated on the flowing of the water, the leaves and sticks that were carried down along with the pale water.

Butterflynose tasted the air, a tangy smell lingered under the she-cat's nostrils. The scent was identifiable instantaneously. A ThunderClan cat was near. I thought I heard you coming, she thought to herself. The she-cat gradually tilt her head towards the scent - seemingly in time as the female spoke.

The ThunderClanner was female, a little older than she. Butterflynose dragged her icy oculars across her body; her smooth dark and white colored fur. It was hard to tell if she knew the other or not; all outsiders seemed very similar to Butterflynose, none particularly taking space in her memory.

"Indeed," Butterflynose replied. The water was remarkable. Beautiful in an essence, so calm, so peaceful..Yet, with the potential of being fiery and noisy. Not only did rivers hold prey, but shiny pebbles and smooth rocks - nice little gifts or decorations for nests or loved ones.

Butterflynose watched as the other lowered herself to the ground; sitting across the river then proceeded to touch the water with her paw. Surprising. Perhaps not such a drypaw after all. Butterflynose twitched her glossy white whiskers as the other introduced herself. "A pleasure, Legendrain. I am Butterflynose," she said. The name was foregin on the feline's tongue. Perhaps we have not met before.

Butterflynose was not much of one to strike up a conversation with outsiders. But, clan-cats were slightly different. Those in other clans shared similar respect for the warrior code, or so Butterflynose hoped. News from other clans was always beneficial and it never seemed to hurt to keep close eye on those so near. "I rather enjoy this spot...It is usually fairly quiet and there's just something about the water," she said; prompting conversation. "Ironic, huh?" She said, her maw curving into the formation of a smile. The she-cat was trying to be slightly playful. Butterflynose was not a stick in the mud. More so a stick floating down a flowing stream.

Legendrain

Warrior of ThunderClan
"I know the world is a cruel place, but it is up to you to stand your ground."

Song: Thunder by Imagine Dragons

Legendrain kept her gaze in the water for a moment. There was something special about water. It is essential for survival, and yet some aspects of it demand others to fear it.  Respect, ah, that is the word...  Believe it or not,  respect always came a long way--at least in the feline's eyes. Without respect, others get harmed even killed. Disrespect was rather unhealthy in many ways. She would have forgotten about the RiverClan she cat if it wasn't for the sudden splash of water. Her golden eyes slowly slid up. "Likewise, Butterflynose," she said. Repeating another cat's name was a way for her to remember it. It was helpful. 

Her eyes narrowed in concentration when Butterflynose spoke. It was a habit, but not necessarily bad. It told others that she was listening. If a scowl had come with it, then it would be the time to worry.  The stormy gray she cat nodded her head with agreeance. "I like to hang around here in the early morning, and at night. The sound of the water flowing is relaxing. It is a great way to get some quiet time." She kept some parts out for the sake of the conversation. Legendrain preferred to come early and late to sometimes avoid the RiverClan cats... If she wanted quiet time, and some of the rival cats were already at the border, she would have to be cordial. She didn't speak much, honestly. The warrior preferred to think and reflect. Hearing the fluffy cat's words about it being fairly quiet showed that she preferred it to stay that way. 

Legendrain's expression grew perplexed about the word ironic.  Where was the paradox? What was funny? Her eyes narrowed for a moment as she thought of something ironic or even just a response. She decided to shift a conversation... by just a little. The warrior chuckled a little to keep their little chat light. "It is a unique element, just like the others. It should definitely be respected like everything else," she responded. Her golden gaze scanned the she cat's features. She seemed to be playful and more personable than the stormy gray cat was. Legendrain was more like a stone to new acquaintances.  She would make little jokes here and there, but that was it.  Most of her warmth went to her clanmates. 

The muscular warrior stuck her paw into the water again. It took like the fish were coming towards the paw. She moved her paw slowly to confuse the slimy creatures. Legendrain had no motive to take fish to her clanmates, but doing that was actually fun. The feline looked back up at Butterflynose. "Hunting fish must be fun," she commented. For RiverClan cats, she quietly added. No other clan enjoyed being drenched with water. She herself didn't mind water, but swimming was a no-no. 

Perception -- These two cats are definitely opposites. xD

| Butterflynose. Warrior of RiverClan |

Butterflynose whisked her tail back and forth behind her. The she-cat had a fluffy, ploomy tail that was smooth to the touch. The she-cat used to trip up on her tail back when she was a kit – it always somehow managed to get beneath her paws. However, Butterflynose was no longer the clumsy kit she once was. Butterflynose struggled to recall her kit-hood, but occasionally she would have the odd memory ping to her mind. However, she could never recall her birth parents. She knew their names, but never their faces or what they looked like. No matter how hard she had tried their faces and fur colours just never came to show themselves. The young she-cat could not recall the fire that claimed them either. Perhaps it had all just been when she was too young, too young to recall just things.

The warrior looked up as the other spoke, just in time to watch her eyes narrow gradually in concentration. The ragdoll had not zoned out, but her mind had lingered briefly from the conversation; not enough to appear bored though. The stormy coloured feline seemed very sharp; her words seeming flat and near emotionless. It seemed she had even missed Butterflynose’s joke about the irony of a RiverClan warrior liking being near water. As if it was not obvious within itself? Perhaps the other spoke very little to others and was not really a social butterfly, unlike herself. Butterflynose did not judge though. Not everyone could be personable.


Butterflynose was rather surprised however that the bi-coloured she-cat liked being near the river though. It was peaceful? Butterflynose’s eyes gradually widened in surprise at this, a smile curving wider across her maw, “Now… I think you may be the first ThunderClan cat I know to actually like the sound of water. But, I suppose I don’t know all that many,” she said. Butterflynose felt wary around this outsider, despite her smooth words and occasional smile. The other was much like a stone. Not simply in appearance, but in manner too. Butterflynose did not want to upset the other, even if it did not really matter overly much. Butterflynose simply preferred to not make enemies so hastily.


The warrior watched the other through her icy eyes. Legendrain lowered her paw into the water and looked as if she was about to try and catch a fish. It looked as if she almost knew what she was doing. However, at her final comment; the warrior erected her ears. It was difficult to tell whether it was sarcasm or a mere genuine comment. Hunting fish must be fun. It seemed almost insulting, but Butterflynose held her tongue and rolled with the conversation. “Catching fish can be fun; there can definitely be some funny moments, but… It’s just a job, like hunting mice or sparrows,” she said. It was true. Hunting was just a job, a responsibility, a task. It had to be done regularly. The fun aspect of it had worn off back as an apprentice. Although, there definitely were moments where Butterflynose had seen warriors fall into the river side or get surprised by the fish they retrieved from the water. But, that was rather rare.


Butterflynose decided to shift the conversation from the water. Although it was not a bad topic, the warrior had simply tired of it. She was not really wishing to annoy the other, which seemed like a fairly simple task. “Anyway, how has ThunderClan been fairing these past few sunrises?”

Warrior of ThunderClan
"I know the world is a cruel place, but it is up to you to stand your ground."

Song: Thunder by Imagine Dragons

Legendrain held back a sigh of relief when the RiverClan cat changed the topic. The stormy warrior didn't know how long she could stretch that topic about water. It seemed pretty hard as the topic itself was not interesting. However, if it was up to her to change the topic, there wouldn't be much to discuss. She preferred to speak within her clanmates. The feline thought it was important to realize that at the end of the day, other clans were rivals. There was an unspoken line that was not meant to be crossed. If it was, well, so much for the warrior code. The she cat preferred to be cordial, but somewhat distant--not enough to be hostile. The warrior whisked her tail from left to right, which wasn't a bad sign. She was feeling neutral, somewhat bored.

Looking up at the fluffy warrior,  she answered the question. "Pretty well, I must say. It's Newleaf, so we are not short on prey--as expected. ThunderClan is slowly growing," she didn't resist a semi-warm purr. It was rather wonderful to say great things about your own clan. Doing so often reminded Legendrain of how strong her clan was. She didn't really need a reminder though. The muscular feline whipped her tail and narrowed her eyes with contentment. Legendrain watched the rival feline closely. It seemed like the RiverClan cat was trying to figure out a way to effectively communicate with her. The thought of that made her whiskers twitch with amusement.  Typical social cat, she thought. Who said it was easy to be playful or fun with the warrior? 

Instead of basking with pride, she decided to reciprocate the question. "What about RiverClan? Are you all doing fine?" She asked with genuine interest. Even her eyes showed it, which was rare, especially to rival cats. The straightened her body to lie in a more comfortable position. Her long legs stretched outward with her belly a little exposed. The sun's rays touched her smooth coat while the wind pushed it back. Relaxing in the sun wasn't so bad.

Butterflynose wiggled her nose slightly, studying the other curiously. The she-cat could not help but get the feeling the other was bored. It seemed funny to her though; this other seemed like a stone, yet she was bored? This was some fairly quality conversation, if Butterflynose ought to say so herself! But, she thought most conversations that involved her were of some decent quality. Plus, it's not like Butterflynose was not trying to engage and talk to the other female.

The creamy coloured warrior gradually erected her ears as she heard a gentle yet warm sound of a purr emit from the stormy bi-coloured female across the river. A purr? Once speaking of ThunderClan. Yes, yes..It seems you too are proud of your clan's progress.

Butterflynose was proud of her clan too and would smile and feel a sense of warmth when she got to mention the success and growth of RiverClan, especially to an outsider. In fact, it seemed now was her chance. Legendrain threw the question back to the ragdoll. A smile spread across the she-cat's maw as she nodded slowly to the question. "Oh yes, we are also doing very well. The clan seems to be in much cheerier spirits now that the ice has left the rivers and the prey is running regularly."

Warrior of ThunderClan
"I know the world is a cruel place, but it is up to you to stand your ground."

Song: Thunder by Imagine Dragons

Legendrain noticed that the RiverClan warrior was observing her. She didn't hold back a little chuckle of mischief. It was funny to see other rivals investigate her like she was a piece of fresh kill.  It told her that she was indeed different, maybe interesting. Not that I need validation, she thought with a slight smile. For a moment, she wondered what was going on in Butterflynose's head. The feline listed to the warrior's words about her own clan. RiverClan seemed to be doing better also. Leaf-bare was harsh on all clans, even to the seemingly ever-full fish clan. It was a good thing they were alright. She would never wish bad on another clan. The four clans were strong together. "Of course," she chuckled. "You know what they say-- less prey brings bad tempers. I do understand... not everyone likes to be bugged by their stomachs."

A question came to mind, but the warrior thought it was too early to ask that.  She felt like they were only a little comfortable with each other's presence. A little shiny object managed to catch her attention. The warrior looked down and spotted a little shell in the water. It looked shallow, but Legendrain was smart enough to know better. Looks are deceiving, she remembered her mentor's quote. "Do you decorate your nest with shells? They are quite pretty." The stormy gray she cat decided not to ask about the clan in general. Otherwise, the conversation would seem less... personable.  Legendrain looked down at the light brown shell with dark edges.

| Butterflynose. Warrior of RiverClan |

Butterflynose twitched her ivory whiskers curiously as she listened to the other with interest. Legendrain was not a foolish warrior. That much was evident, even if she was a bit of a stone of a cat. The ragdoll did ponder though whether ThunderClan really was doing well. Did anyone ever answer that question with poor news or bad feedback? Maybe occasionally. It seemed the answers were always laced with honey though, simply to avoid looking weak. RiverClan genuinely was doing well in the she-cat's eyes though. Butterflynose believed the clan still had much more growing to do, but she knew it would get there with time. More apprentices would be nice. But, with more apprentices meant more warriors were needed. A cycle left up to the leader, really. Not something Butterflynose should stress her fur about; not now, maybe one sunrise.

The she-cat felt a gentle smile tug at her maw as Legendrain cracked a soft chuckle. Was Butterflynose finally managing to crack the stone she-cat? Was Legendrain maybe more than what Butterflynose had initially suspected? Perhaps the two had finally found common ground. Things they were passionate about and could bond over, allowing true personalities to seep into the conversation. "That is true," she said with a slow nod. Leaf-bare was terribly harsh. Prey was scarce. Everyone was cold. The rivers were typically frozen in RiverClan; meaning the only real source of prey was land-based and that was enough to put a damper on RiverClan cat's moods.


Butterflynose watched as Legendrain's eyes darted to the water. However, she did not manage to see where exactly her eyes went. Only their general direction. What had SHE spotted? Butterflynose dismissed the thoughts, but as Legendrain asked about decorating nests; she realized she had spotted a shell or smooth pebble, something decorative in the least. "I do, personally," she said. "I find it's a way to make your space truly your own. Lots of cats in RiverClan do it too, but there are a couple who do not as well." Butterflynose had always decorated her nests. RiverClan always had beautiful shells and pebbles, simply because of the river and water surrounding the territory. That, and the fact RiverClan warriors were always in the water enabling them to retrieve the treasures hidden to most who did not dare wet their paws. "Is it something you or other ThunderClan cats do too? Maybe not with shells, but feathers?"

"I know the world is a cruel place, but it is up to you to stand your ground."

Legendrain felt like the warrior on the other side was getting more comfortable around her. After all, the feline's stone cold first impression could have been the reason why the other seemed to be wary. That was reasonable. It is hard to get emotion from someone who concealed it every time. Personable conversations seemed to be the best to certain kinds of cats, social ones mostly. Cold and mean cats wouldn't really care as much. She watched Butterflynose as she explained the reason why she decorated her nest. Her response was rather interesting. The warrior slightly smiled when the RiverClan warrior returned the question. 

"ThunderClan cats do it too. However, we mostly use feathers and beetles," she smiled at the word "beetles".  It was supposed to be a small joke. "Honestly, I think it depends on the cat's personality. I, personally, like to decorate my nest with raven feathers by weaving them in. I like dark colors, so it suits me." She began to sit up now. Her eyes were already trained on a specific shell. It was close to the shore, so she could reach it. It was another light brown shell, but it had gray spots. It looked like a spotted stone. Legendrain grabbed the shell with her mouth and tried to throw the shell to the other side. It was better than swimming over there and crossing the territory at the same time. "You might want to keep this," she finally said. "It will be a nice addition to your nest...." The stormy she cat sat down and watched the fluffy warrior on the other side. Would she accept it? Who knows... It was a nice gesture, but that didn't mean it had to be taken. The thought only counted. 

The hard wind pushed Legendrain's body like it was shoving her. She looked at the sky and spotted clouds. They were getting darker by the moments passing by. Looking back at Butterflynose, she wondered if she would tolerate the rain. Why not? She's a RiverClan cat after all... The question is... will I stay? The answer to that question was there yet. During rainy days, she preferred to be in the camp resting. However, she didn't feel like leaving just yet.

Butterflynose was curious about whether the other clans decorated their nests. It was something she had always done, since she was a kit. But, she was always unsure whether it was just RiverClan that did such things...Or whether it was all of them? So, she leaned in, curiously.

When Legendrain explained that ThunderClan cat's too decorate their nests, she felt a smile come to her maw. Interesting.. However, she suspected that they used the likes of feathers or sticks, maybe even talons to decorate them. Birds were after all a lot more common in the trees than shells and pebbles. Butterflynose watched as the corners of the other's maw lifted in the formation of a smile at the word 'beetles'. The warrior guessed it was Legendrain's way of making a joke. Butterflynose did not really consider it funny; it could be true? Who knew what kind of unusual things the other clans did? However, she laughed gently at the joke anyway. It was reassuring to see the other try and put in effort; that was for sure. The conversation was certainly progressing better than Butterflynose had initially suspected. The warrior was grateful though. Butterflynose much preferred being civil rather than causing issues where issues were not needed.

"Feathers do sound like a pretty decoration. They're so soft and smooth," she said as she envisioned a nest full of pretty feathers. Feathers of brown, black, orange and yellow. Feathers could often be rather colourful, depending on the bird. It seemed nice. Butterflynose was not opposed to the idea of adding feathers into her nest. However, she did rather like her shiny pebbles and pretty shells. The warrior twitched her pale whiskers as Legendrain explained that she likes raven feathers the most. Butterflynose could see that, even though the two had only just met. Raven feathers were dark, a midnight black in colour. Legendrain's fur was fairly dark and her personality seemed far from colourful. Indeed, a could match. However, she kept her feelings to herself on that and simply nodded.

The feline was surprised when Legendrain threw across something It was light brown with gray spots. A shell, in fact. Butterflynose pressed her nose gently to it. It was smooth and smelled like the river. It was a fairly pretty shell and Butterflynose could definitely appreciate that. "It's beautiful," she said as a smile curved across her maw. The feline looked up to the bi-coloured she-cat and nodded in agreement, "I think it will make a nice addition to my nest. Thank you," she said. Butterflynose had never been given something by an outsider before. It was a first. But, she didn't want to offend the other and it seemed like it genuinely could make for a nice addition.


The feline sniffed the air. It smelled as though rain was on it's way to the forest. Butterflynose raised her head, her icy eyes darted across the skies. They had darkened fairly quickly. "Looks like we're in for some rain," she said to the other. Butterflynose was not phased by the water. She was after all a RiverClan cat. However, often when it rained...The temperature dropped. Butterflynose was not too fond of the cold winds. And she had wanted to catch more prey before returning to the camp. "A pity," she said, "I was rather enjoying seeing the sun out."

"I know the world is a cruel place, but it is up to you to stand your ground."

Legendrain's eyes drifted to the eyes in thought. The nest decorations topic was quite interesting. It was rather nice to learn about the culture of another clan. Butterflynose seemed to the cat who would take every pretty shell and stone and place it in her nest. She probably lacked a theme whereas the gray warrior preferred to keep a theme going. Too much of different decoration would drive the she cat crazy. Too much color was quite annoying for her too because they often contrasted with her dark colors. Black, gray, brown, and dark blue feathers did just fine. Speaking of shells and stones, she couldn't wrap that around her head. Surely, they are pretty, but they were hard? Would she like to feel hard objects under her pelt?

Her golden gaze went back to the warrior on the other side. "Yes, feathers are quite gentle on pelts. They fit in with the moss perfectly." She simply said with a smile. And they don't poke me while I am asleep. The warrior purposeful left that out. She wasn't sure if Butterflynose would consider it a jab. The warrior watched as the RiverClan she cat commented on the shell. She seemed to genuinely like it, which was a good thing. All of that effort would have been for nothing. However, she would have understood if she didn't. They were still outsiders in each other's clan. If someone from another clan gave her something, she would have been hesitant to take it too. 

Butterflynose looked like she was closer to the friendlier side than any other outsider she met. More polite too. Someone who wouldn't start fights for the fun of it.  "You are welcome," she said a bit after the other warrior thanked her. Her golden gaze went up to the sky again. The clouds looked darker than what she'd initially seen. Her tail curled around her legs while she began to think. Was it her time to leave? The cold winds were already starting to kick in. "The wind is already packing a punch... And the sun is currently hiding. I was just enjoying the weather," she smiled towards the end of her third sentence. Legendrain stood up while she still eyed the sky. That was when lightning flashes started to appear. That was not a good sign. "Well, it's about time I head back. It is a pleasure to meet you," she nodded. 

Because she already hunted before she spoke to Butterflynose, she didn't need to hunt again. Plus, she had to go before she lost her prey's scent. The rain loved to cover up scents. The roar of Thunder erupted from the sky. A little smile appeared on her lips. The sound reminded her of her clan and its name. Pride surged through her again. Before it became too obvious, she dipped her head to the fluffy cat on the other side. "We shall meet again." With that, she padded off to find her hidden prey before she headed to her clan's camp.

Butterflynose had never had a problem with shells or stones prodding her as she slept. Although, she was unaware that the thought lingered on Legendrain's mind. Butterflynose often slept in a tightly curled ball. Every now and then, she would sprawl out. But, it was rare.

The warrior rolled back her shoulders and gave a gentle sigh as she watched the skies above, her eyes scanning the charcoal clouds. The wind was starting to pick up and blow her fur like some wild tree dancing. Butterlynose resisted shivering; she didn't really want to show the other she was cold. Butterflynose had thick fur, she should be warm. Although, to be fair it was still only new-leaf. Green-leaf was still on it's way.

Just as the warrior lowered her gaze, she noticed Legendrain rising to her paws. The other she-cat must be feeling the cold too. And perhaps the fear of rain also. Although, Butterflynose was not really worried about the water. "I was enjoying the weather too. It's a shame it's not warmer yet...But, I imagine soon we will be complaining that it is too hot when Green-leaf arrives," she said with a smile across her maw. It was true; so many would complain at Leaf-bare and wish for Green-leaf, but the moment the heat came out...The warriors would immediately wish it Leaf-bare. She gave a shrug at the thought. Butterflynose enjoyed Green-leaf the most personally. She loved the heat and being able to swim and really get in and around the water. It was generally too cold during leaf-fall and even on occasion during new-leaf.

"It was lovely to meet you too, Legendrain. It was rather intriguing to hear that it's not just RiverClan warriors who decorate their nests...Perhaps I could try feathers, like in ThunderClan?" Butterflynose rose to her paws too. The she-cat's tail twitched from left to right. She had rather enjoyed talking to Legendrain, even though she was an outsider. Still, Butterflynose found their conversation interesting. More information about the other clans was always good. Even though it served no strategic benefit, it was just good to know more about one's neighbors.

"I look forward to meeting you again," she called to the other. The feline watched as the other dipped her head to her and vanished into the trees of ThunderClan. Butterflynose lifted her eyes to the sky as she heard the powerful crack of thunder. Ironic, she thought. Butterflynose tilt her head back towards the direction of the camp. The warrior had been fortunate to have caught some prey before meeting Legendrain, so she was glad she would not return empty jaw-ed. The feline picked up her kills and ventured back off to the camp.

Chassity I THINK THIS WAS GOOD <3 I can imagine the next gathering where these two meet will be AMAZE. Like "OMG, U LEADER?? ME 2"
