"Well, I'm not taking any chances," Renny replied, looking around jerkily while Insolitus drank from the lake...

[Hopeflower]

Insolitus let out a quiet sigh and meowed, "Come on. Let's move." He started off again at a brisk pace, keeping his ears pricked. He was wondering if the wolves were going to howl again. He hadn't heard them yet...but he'd been surprised last night.

[dinoman666]

Renny was all to eager to trot after Insolitus, still keeping a wary eye on his surroundings...

[Hopeflower]

Demontalon had stretched out in a small patch of sunlight, welcoming the warmth on her dark fur. Her mismatched eyes were closed and she was close to dozing off. She let out a drowsy purr, despite the always-present pain. She'd been careful not to lie on her injured shoulder. Life as a rogue wasn't all bad.

Insolitus breathed a silent sigh. "Are you hungry?" he asked.

[dinoman666]

Renny nodded. "Huh, I guess I am. Never noticed just how much until now..."

[Hopeflower]

Insolitus nodded, opening his jaws to scent the air. They were in luck - there was a strong scent of rabbit close by. "Stay here," he murmured, trying to pinpoint where the smell was coming from. There - just ahead, on a small hill. Could he creep up on it? No. It was too close. He'd have to run at it, and hope he caught it. He took off running, as fast as his long legs could take him. When he was a fox-length away, the rabbit spotted him and darted. He swerved, trying to cut it off, and flashed out a paw to trip it. It went sprawling and he was on it in a second, severing its spine with a well-aimed bite. Insolitus glanced back at Renny, the rabbit dangling from his jaws, and jerked his head in an invitation.

Snowstar looked about the clan, watching as the different cats moved about. He thought about what he should do today. Most of the major clan issues such as food had been settled at the end of Green leaf, with a stock pile of meat, which would last longer now that the cold was settling in. He then got an idea. Teach his daughters how to fish... like he had done with their mother... the skill was invaluable, and he had been awfully distant the past moons...after a short nap, he'd take them to the stream and lake...by then, Coldeyes would be back to watch over the clan. With that, the white tom made his way to the den...

[dinoman666]

Renny trotted over to Insolitus, his stomach growling. "Ooh, rabbit! I would prefer some of that food the masters give, but this will make do, I guess."

[The Kingpin]

Wraith caught a movement out the corner of his eye as he drank, and as he stopped, his eyes widened. a short distance away, the very cat he'd been asking about was standing, right there. she looked a little worse for wear, a bit bonier than last he'd seen, and more than a little messy. still, he couldn't complain over that. at least she turned out being alive. the tom straightened, and walked across the twoleg bridge, and through the bushes, moving swiftly but silently until he was within seeing distance. an audible chuckle could be heard in the bushes not far from Demontalon, Wraith not speaking yet to keep her guessing before he walked out...

[Hopeflower]

The muscles in Demontalon's shoulders instantly tensed, and she slowly sat up. Apparently she wasn't as alone as she'd like to think. Her ears swiveled towards where the chuckle had come from as she went still. She tried to keep her breaths silent, straining to hear any sounds besides those of the wind rattling the dry leaves and far-off birdsong.

[The Kingpin]

"It seems all that training paid off afterall" growled the black tom, his amber eyes glowing in the midst of the bushes as Wraith walked out, looking at his former apprentice...

[Hopeflower]

The black she-cat's head whipped around, her eyes widening. "Wraith?!" she meowed, hardly daring to believe it. She was on her paws in a second, a thousand questions filling her head. Somehow, though, her tongue wouldn't form any of them and she was left staring.

[The Kingpin]

"Well, unless some other black bengal tom around knows about your training AND has got a scar like this one" growled Wraith as he poked a paw at the scar going across his left eye's brow and down the left cheek in a straight line, the eye still being somehow intact in spite of it. "Then yes, i'd say you've got the name right on" he finished...

[Hopeflower]

Insolitus dropped his catch in front of Renny. "Here, you eat first," he mewed, wondering privately how any cat could prefer kittypet food to fresh-kill.

Demontalon half-smiled and sat back down, slightly dazed. She gave herself a brisk shake, trying to snap out of it. "It's good to see you're still in one piece," she mewed, cocking her head.

[dinoman666]

Renny took a bite, eating it thoughtfully. "Kind of... stringy," he mewed.

[Hopeflower]

"I'm not surprised," Insolitus mewed, shrugging. "It's leaf-fall. Prey's starting to get thinner, less juicy."

[dinoman666]

Renny stared at the rabbit with distaste, muttering, "Ugh, I miss my masters already..."

[Hopeflower]

"Now I'm curious," Insolitus meowed. "If you were a kittypet, why are you out here without your Twolegs?"

[dinoman666]

There was a moment's hesitation, before Renny took another bite and mumbled through a mouthful, "Mmm, this isn't so bad, actually..."

[Hopeflower]

Insolitus sighed inwardly and crouched to take a bite. Still, the question nagged at him; why would a kittypet be out here, so far from Twolegs?
