river bend / open

[Stream]

Stream walked from his den to the river, his fur covered in mud. He wasn't sure how he got so muddy, but he hated the crunchy feeling that stuck onto his blue fur. The tom lowered himself in the water, giving a small hiss at the cold feeling.

[Azure]

Another blue tom emerged from the shadows, mud only lightly coating his paws. He looked in puzzlement at the other cat. "How on earth did you get so muddy?" He asked, looking up and down the other cat's body, wondering how any cat could be dumb enough to let this happen 'Maybe he's a special kind of stupid, who knows....' He thought to himself

[Stream]

The royalty looked up, narrowing his yellow gaze at the other cat. "Perhaps mud reached my den during the rain. I don't know." he replied in a monotone voice, his ears flicking. He went back to cleaning his fur off, ignoring the presence of the younger tom.

[Azure]

Azure shrugged. "I suppose it's possible" He drawled, looking up at the cold sun. Leaf-bare was always a time he hated. The sun seemed to glare down at him, retreating, not sharing its warmth. "So then, who are you?" He asked, not entirely caring, but nice to make allies

[Stream]

Stream had almost expected that the tom would leave, but when he heard him speak again, the blue cat turned his head, climbing out of the water. He shook water from his fur, lashing his dripping tail. "Stream. You a newby here?" the royalty asked, flicking his ears.

[Azure]

Azure nodded "Yeah, I'm new here. Name's Azure." He introduced himself lamely. This other cat could be an ally, maybe even a friend, but not yet. First he had to make sure this other tom was trustworthy. Until then, he was just another cat.

[Stream]

Stream grunted. "Stream. Are you adjusting?" he questioned. The blue cat began licking his fur to help dry it faster. "I'm surprised a lot of cats so young take an interest in joining DeathClan. I know I am young, but many others are even younger." he murmured, mainly to himself.

[Azure]

Azure nodded "Stream, huh...you certainly fit your name to your appearance at the moment. Yes, young cats tend to find their way here, but I'm adjusting to it. Now, the winter on the other paw, that is a force I'm never adjusting to" He growled bitterly, spitting at the wind, which had just blown towards him, chilling his pelt. The cold, he hated the cold.

[Stream]

Stream gave a small snort. "Never heard that before." he mumbled to himself, eyeing the cat. "Well, it's a tough life. Don't tell me that you're one of those former kittypets too. They drive me insane with their whining." The blue cat rolled his eyes at the thought.

[Azure]

Azure spat at the accusation "Of course not. I'm not a whining shiny kitty, waiting to do as my master pleases. I have no master, only Drought. I'd never be ordered around by twolegs" he growled, narrowing his eyes.

[Stream]

Stream couldn't help but laugh at Azure. "Wow, you're feisty. I was just curious." he said, a smirk plastered on his face. "As long as you aren't one, things should be smooth."

[Azure]

Azure softened his gaze "Heh, I guess that's one word to describe me. Yep, should be smooth." He agreed, nodding.

[Stream]

Stream let his smirk vanish. His short blue fur had begun to actually dry. "When did you get here? And, if I may ask, what were you before you joined? A loner? A rogue?"

[Azure]

Azure thought back "Not sure. Maybe a moon ago or so. I used to be a loner, from what I can remember. Not suited to life on my own though" He said with a shrug.
