 Risky - Forest near the river with Ambassador (asrise )
Risky listened with interest to Ambassador's explanation, taking in what information they could about the marshes and trying to determine what life there would be like. Prey wasn't an issue; living with Firefly, they'd learned how to catch several kinds of prey. The bit about the den was troubling but...well, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, once they got used to it. Of course, they'd be giving moving to the marshes a good deal of thought before deciding, but it was far too easy to run into more unsavory types on this side of the river.
The tortoiseshell glanced at the river, not meeting the smoke molly's gaze. "That's just it, actually. I'm not necessarily trying to isolate myself. Just trying to stay out of trouble." That had been Firefly's parting words to them before he left to 'follow his own path', whatever that had meant. Risky's mood soured somewhat at that thought and they shoved it away sharply. They contemplated what Ambassador had said and found that they agreed with the second part of her statement. The younger cat wouldn't exactly call themself a loner either; the term didn't quite fit. It wasn't that they didn't like other cats. They didn't want to be left alone, but they also didn't match the brusque, sometimes harsh nature of rogues either. All Risky knew was that they definitely weren't a kittypet.
They knew they'd been quite for too long and could feel Ambassador's expectant gaze boring into their pelt. Revealing private information to a strange cat could be dangerous, open to the chance that it could be used against them. But something about Ambassador seemed different. She certainly wasn't like other cats Risky had met in the forest. Far more friendly, for a start. And they knew they'd have to start making connections eventually. Taking a deep breath, Risky turned their gaze back to Ambassador. "I was born a kittypet, actually. Didn't quite like it, though, so I came to live out here with my father. So I suppose I live in the forest by choice, but living by myself wasn't up to me. As for why I shy away..." Offering up this part of their story made Risky's pelt itch. They wanted to say more, explain exactly why they were on their own, but the words lodged in their throat. They shook their head. "Anyway, I guess I'm not quite a loner, either. Just alone right now."

 Kuta -- Traveling the Moor | With Gray Sky - whispering Mention of travel drew amber eyes to the tabby, then followed the motion of his plumed tail to the rocky formations that barred entry from the rest of the land. Or, seemingly barred entry, that is. Gray Sky here was evidence enough that there was life in and past the mountains. His eyes lit up with wonder at the thought – perhaps that’s why he was so big. While confident in his abilities, a sleek and slender cat like himself would surely stand no chance in such a terrain. Even that small climb to see Pumaheart had taken it out of him. “That’s a long way…” To be so far from family would be devastating. Were he any further from his younger siblings, he may not have left home.
Confusion turned his attention away from the topic though, and Kuta was lift replicating the other’s head tilt. Did the mountains not have twolegs? As the tabby continued on, he was left staring for just a moment. “I didn’t realize these things weren’t common. I’ve seen these things almost everywhere I’ve been.” How did one explain these things to a cat that had never seen them? “Guess the important thing is that the fence is like… a wood barrier – like logs that hold each other up somehow, and if you cross it, you can’t hunt the birds there.” That was as good as it got from him. Having to explain something that he’d never had to was hard.
Food, though. That was easier. Even with the other casting an annoyed glance towards their surroundings, he couldn’t help but grin. “They don’t favor the competition, I think. I imagine they’d come around more in the warm moons, though.” He’d seen a hawk or two, but not many. Then again, he way too large for birds of prey to take interest in. Hm. “Bet we can catch a hare or two before you head home,” he chirped.
(Did I totally forget to include Kuta’s answer to Gray Sky asking about the forest in my previous reply??? Yes, yes I did and I’m very sorry – was gonna add a bit of actual hunting at the end until I realized I missed this so I left it open for you depending on where you wanna take this if we just go straight to hunting I figured most likely prey would be a hare, stoat, or a grouse)
 Maple -- The Pines | With Firefly - rεdwιllow It wasn't often that the pine trees called his attention. The area had always seemed... bleak, even at the best of times. Perhaps it was because the needles themselves were dense, blocking the sun's rays from stretching down to the forest floor. Today, though, it was as if they summoned his presence. Though the ground was still cold, it was a little more dry than most other regions right now, and it was a welcomed change.
Pine trees came with a very distinct scent. It was... fresh. Crisp, and even more so in leafbare. Unfortunately, the region was a bit sparse prey-wise. Not that he was starving or anything, but a snack could very well make his day right about now. And he'd been tracking one, too. Half-heartedly, but tracking it none the less. Some scrawny rodent idly picking away at a tree root. For a moment, he just watched it. Oh, to be a little mouse with little worry other than stuffing his cheeks. Predators such as himself were surely a worry, though. to be looking over his shoulder constantly was not a desireable state to live in.
Maple's rambling thoughts kept him from scenting the other cat in the area. By the time he realized he wasn't alone, he was watching another tom catch the little thing. "Awe," he sighed. Standing from his crouched position, the orange tabby stepped out into the light, head tipped at the other feline and meowed oh-so casually, "You caught my snack."

 Firefly - The pines with Maple (Myst)
Intent on his hunt, Firefly hadn't detected another cat nearby and spun around, his measly mouse dangling from his jaws. He surveyed the newcomer; the ginger tabby didn't seem threatening. In fact, the tom only appeared mildly disappointed. That was certainly odd. Most rogues I've run into would have challenged me for any prey, especially in leaf-bare. Who is this cat? Setting his prey down, Firefly narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to figure out what to make of him. "Are you going to do anything about it?" Privately, the black tom doubted it. This cat seemed young and, honestly, not very imposing.
Life as a rogue was funny like that. In his travels, Firefly had found two things to be true. One, cats either gave up when an opportunity to eat was taken from them or they immediately fought for it. Two, more experienced rogues knew how to pick their battles, while the younger ones were often reckless and took no time to think before charging headfirst into, well, anything. That had been part of his frustration with Risky. His kit was headstrong and fearless - good qualities most of the time but had a certain amount of risk for trouble. Firefly often found his patience running thin with them. If they'd taken more time to think... Well, that was hardly important anymore.
This cat, however, didn't fit either of those ideals, and he certainly didn't seem anything like Risky. Their lack of critical thought was driven by survival. The younger tom before him appeared largely unbothered, as if the prospect of losing a 'snack' in such prey-poor weather was just an inconvenience. Don't judge him too quickly, Firefly told himself. It could be a front. He glanced down at the mouse. "Hardly worth calling this a snack anyway. You're not missing out on much, kid. Try the forest; you'll have more luck there."
(Firefly just immediately baffled by Maple XD) |

Amber ~ barn ~ alice Kite finch ~ Feathertalon , asrise Amber smirked, if I lunge from the left instead of the right maybe I can tackle Finch and avoid Kite... oof, the small tabby squeaked trying to fend off Kite's blow then his sudden stop startled her for some reason and she came to a halt. Amber widened her eyes at her brothers question. "Our dad is evil! That's why we don't speak to him. Like that cat-uhh oh Killer that's right! He must be our dad. Then giving a sudden leap and bound she headed for the door, "Let's go meet him." The small cat stopped by the door remembering she was not allowed to exit. Amber longed to be outside but she knew she was not allowed to leave the barn let alone meet her father named Killer Making the smarter decision she decided to not get in trouble-yet. Instead pleasing her mother for a change she made her way to her favorite hideout and ducked below a box and disappeared beckoning to her siblings just before she left sight.

Flame Location: The Stream With: Wila ( Feathertalon) Flame purred in amusement at her returned humor, his tail waving slightly. "Yeah, ya know, I saw it move under you right as you jumped. It was out to get you.", he teased, grinning at her. He was glad she'd taken it as joke as he'd meant it, not wanting to have accidentally offended her. Not that she seemed to take too many things serious. Sure, she'd been a bit on edge when they'd first met, but she'd since gotten more relaxed and not as on guard about the things he said. He was glad. His intentions were always just to make light of things, not make fun of them. Especially not to make fun of Wila. At the challenge, he grinned, backing up a bit to be in line with her so the race would be even. He didn't have a clue where the tree was, but he was sure they'd find it. "You're on.", he said with a grin. Alyssum and Aster Location: Moor's Edge With: Canna ( soot) Alyssum finally stood when she could tell the cat was watching them, figuring their cover was blown. She wouldn't say anything, but she blamed Aster and his bright orange pelt. She managed to stay well hidden on the moor, her cream and white fur blending in with the snow and grasses. "Who are you?", she called, her tail waving uncertainly. "You're on the edge of our territory.", she said. Shadow Location: The Forest With: Honey ( Myst) "I've been there a few times. Not my favorite place to go though, so I usually stay on this side of the stream.", Shadow said. "But there's cats over there alright. I've seen 'em chasing rabbits from the fenceline before. Don't know how many though.", he said. "But I'm sure some cats would. Some like the open air and no trees.", he said with a slight chuckle. "Why did you decide to settle here in the forest? Any particular reason?", he asked. Spark Location: The Farm With: Bo and Alecto ( Myst) Spark followed after Bo, hearing the new dog (Alecto, it would take some time to remember that) follow after him as they headed for the fields. Seemed right they'd start there. She'd be out there most of the time anyways. Spark heard her mention cats, and let out a slight hum. He was about to explain that they were friendly with the barn cats, even actual friends with some, when a meow sounded across the field. Heather Location: The Farm With: The Dogs Heather had seen Spark and Bo and a new dog arrive, and had wanted to introduce herself. She was really trying to get back out more, having spent most of the last halfmoon curled up in her nest. She'd had so many plans and hopes for little Sprite, especially since she'd seemed to be getting better with hers and Spark's walks. But now she couldn't help but wonder if them having her do more had caused her sickness to come back, and eventually be too much for the kitten. She tried not to think that, but her thoughts were loud. Yet another reason to start getting out more. She could tune them out. So she'd gone bounding across the field to catch up, meet the new dog, maybe join them on what was surely a tour of the farm. ((random but i wrote all of these with a snake around my neck lol)) |

My brother and niece lived on our property in a trailer for awhile a couple years ago, so I was able to just walk over and get snake cuddles in, but haven’t been able to as much since they moved (not far, just not a two second walk away lol) so I randomly decided it was time for snake cuddles the other day lol
I do want a snake in the future though! Probably a rosy boa, they’re so pretty and generally pretty friendly snakes

I do make sure I’m always right next to her though cause we do have eagles and hawks around so I’m always right next to her and also checking the sky just in case. But she loves getting in the sun on the grass, she’s always so inquisitive |
