I kn(o)w the Herbs

[Pond]

Pond was collecting herbs, and Pond had found the meadow by exploring the few tunnels that led from under her home. It had seemed no one came here. It was so quiet, and Pond even stored all her herbs in a small cave just below the meadow. Pond had taken a tunnel that led to the small room, then shortly up to the meadow.

Pond went down with her herbs to the small room, and when she emerged again to collect more, she spotted another cat on the meadow. It looked like it was the first time that cat had been here too, the way, it stopped to sniff every hole and look at every flower. Or that cat may just be looking for something. Maybe a home, maybe some herbs, maybe a place to store herbs, or possibly something else. Anyway, Pond planned to mind her own business. It didn't concern her at the moment.

But Pond couldn't help but follow the stranger when he stuck his nose down the tunnel, and entered the one that led to her home, and Clouds's home too, so far. Soon, Pond spotted the stranger sniffing her herbs. "he-hello?" Pond shuttered. "Th-those are my he-herbs." Pond told the stranger. "A-and my friend's." Pond looked at the other cat, but avoided the stranger's gaze. "Th-this tunnel l-leads to where my friend and I currently live."

katniss's lazy pawsteps had lead her to the meadow. she hated it here, but she still came, to sit and recall. sniffing a flower with distaste, she stood up and lapped at a tiny spring-fed hole, before noticing a larger hole. perhaps she could sleep there, so she could avoid the bright sun. the dark brown moggie trotted over, sniffing it before plunging in. her paws relished the cool ground and she wandered around, searching for a place to sleep. eventually she found a storage of leaves, or herbs, and she couldn't help but smell them. she also caught a scent of cat. immediately she was alert, ears pricked and sharp grey eyes hostile. a voice made her hiss and draw her ears back. "he-hello? th-those are my he-herbs. a-and my friend's. th-this tunnel l-leads to where my friend and i currently live." katniss's eyes flashed and she flicked her tail as she looked at the other cat. "hm. your herbs, huh? you come from around here?" she asked, sitting down and watching the other cat closely, still not trusting it.

Pond flinched. It wasn't a suprise that she was scared. Pond was barely more than a kit, and was definitly the size of a one-and-a-half-moon-kit. But of course, if she was that age, she'd still need her mother and would be stumbling over her paws. She was three moons old, and barely able to fend for herself. But at least she could survive.
Pond clearly was small, but definitly smart. She avoided the question of where she and Clouds lived. "Uh... yhea. I keep my herbs here."

katniss's sharp grey eyes narrowed, and she nodded curtly. she decided to go for something a little deeper next. "how do you know about all these herbs?" she asked, tail flicking.
