For some reason out of everything Darkfern found that somewhat amusing. How different Tribe life seemed. The healer of the Tribe, a cat who was also leader, could have kits? How did it work out for the leader of the Tribe? Apparently well enough if it had been going smoothly for the Wavecallers that did have mates and kits. It just seemed like so much work to raise a family while also trying to deal with the other obstacles of being a warrior or tunneler. Then again, Darkfern had never thought about having kits of her own. She had always thought the littermate to give their father grandkits would be Batstep. "What an odd thing to hear. How different our way of lives are." Yet here Bird was, smack dab in the middle of Clan life now. And Darkfern found herself to be more than glad to have the blue-eyed she-cat here.
The tortoiseshell nodded at Bird's question. "There are a lot of mountains around. CanopyClan has claimed part of a mountain as some of their territory, but PeakClan is the only Clan with a whole mountain to call their own. SoilClan and CopseClan do not need the mountains to survive." There were some mountains along the southern border of the Clans, but mountains weren't something the other Clans were fond of. PeakClan were the cats who lived in the mountains and could climb like the goats that lived along the crags. CanopyClan cats loved being high, but they would rather be in trees than in a rocky landscape. CopseClan cats lived just like SoilClan cats except for the fact that they didn't tunnel. Mountains just weren't important for the other Clans' survival.
Now with Nightstream back, Darkfern quieted herself. She flicked her tail in greeting toward her sister. "I'm ready," she mewed with a level tone.
Nightstream nodded. With a flick of her tail she gestured for the other two females to follow her out of camp. She was careful to choose the fastest route to the Mooncave, especially since most of the herbs she needed to restock on grew along this trail. Padding on Nightstream glanced over her shoulder to look at Bird in Shallow Waters. "How are you adjusting to the Clan?" A simple question, but it could leave for a lot of complex answers.

"What a strange arrangement of territories you have," she murmured, looking away as they started to go. Transitioning from stone to softer ground under her paws was a blessing- Bird flexed her claws with a short smile before listening to Nightstream's question. The healer's inquiry made her hum quietly until she decided on what to say, a small smile accompanying the words.
"It is....very different than I expected, that is for sure," Bird said, sniffing for all the unfamiliar scents and listening to a wide range of sounds even in the small area she was limiting her ability to. "Even if I were to have a mate and a family here, it would never truly be my home. The ground is too hard, the cover too thick, and the prey is unfamiliar. To say I am adjusting perfectly would be wrong." She said no more on it- the grief in her face too real for a long moment in the trek to the Mooncave, the sun inching its way down the sky.
She could smell predators far away- roaming the mountain they were closest to, perhaps. There was a patrol- a border patrol, it seemed, a bit closer than the predators. They were SoilClan cats, no doubt about it- and it made her sigh somewhat to remember that she would never smell the salty, oceanic smell that accompanied home. Her paws belonged in the water and sand, catching fish and darting across the coastal plains- her graceful walk hid her unfamilarity with the overlay of the land.
"How much further?" It seemed odd that the Clans only had one meeting place for their ancestors, if there were four Clans. Why wouldn't they have one in their camps for each Clan, tied to their roles?

To Darkfern the arrangement of the territories was as natural as tunneling. There was nothing wrong with where each Clan lived. Every territory was used to its full advantage and all the Clans were able to coexist well; there were, of course, the occasional battle and whatnot between Clans, but that was only to be expected. "To an outsider I'm sure this is all weird," the tunneler mewed faintly. She didn't mean for her comment to come off as rude or anything of the sort, no, she was simply stating a fact.
As Nightstream spoke up, Darkfern turned her attention on her sister, letting the smaller tortoiseshell have her time in the spotlight. Darkfern saw her sister's eyes flash with something like concern at Bird's answer. Had Nightstream expected Bird to be completely in love with this area?
"It must be quite hard on you. Adjusting is never easy." Nightstream glanced up at the sky. The sun was slowly crawling lower and lower across the sky, making its way to the horizon. Its warm light still trickled over the woods, but soon it would be gone and replaced with the cold stare of the moon. "I'm sorry if I brought back any harsh memories." Nightstream had seen the grief come over Bird's face like a dark shadow. Darkfern noticed it as well and came to brush up against the messenger.
This was a question for Nightstream. Darkfern knew they weren't too far from the Mooncave, but Nightstream would have a more approximate answer. Just as Darkfern thought that, her littermate gestured with her tail to the top of a hill they were nearing. "After this rise there's a dip that leads to the base of the mountain. The Mooncave is there. We'll be there before the sunsets." At least Nightstream knew how to accurately answer that question unlike Darkfern.

(( sorry, been getting everything set up for the next school year and been on errands most of the week. how're you doing? ))
Bird said nothing more on her memories or home, walking along and carefully analyzing the area. It would help in getting her a mental map of the area when she was able to see more. Knowing every inch of an area was vital to survival, where you'd have to dip down because of lower ground or when to speed over roots and rocks. The trees started to thin out ever so slightly as they got near the border, a dip in the ground just as Nightstream had said, and before the sun fully set, Bird in Shallow Waters rested her eyes on the Mooncave.
She blinked. It seemed to be relatively shallow with small puddles of water from previous rains- the mood was as if the stars could come down to earth. Bird smiled when they walked in, and she stopped when the others did.
"So, what shall we do now?" Her voice was slightly amazed and very curious. This was very unlike SoilClan's caves, not lived in and loved- this was separate, a place deserving of connecting with one's ancestors. As the sun fully set upon the valley she waited for words, tail curled elegantly around her paws.

Nightstream purred softly at Bird's reaction. One of her favorite things about being a medicine cat was the fact that she got to see many cats react to seeing the Mooncave for the very first time. She never had been disappointed thus far.
She took confident steps into the cave that was big enough just to fit about ten full grown cats comfortably. She swished her tail to gesture for the others to follow before she gestured once more to tell them to stop a few moments later. The tortoiseshell turned to Bird. "We'll be sleeping here for the night. StarClan will come to us in our dreams," Nightstream explained. "They'll come if they have something to tell us. Don't be disheartened if they do not show up in your dreams." A look of kindness flashed over the medicine cat's gaze; she didn't want Bird to get her hopes up too high. Sometimes the ancestors just didn't come to a cat if they didn't have much of anything to say.

not sure if i should actually describe whatever dream she has in detail- i was thinking maybe her ancestors saying that it's alright, and to come back when a great change has happened?
also, i'll open the small group rp soon. i'll tag you in the second post if you'd like!
