(Fuse)

Oh goodie, this place has a river. Love me some water. Stryx absolutely despised water. If he had to choose whether to leap off a cliff into a valley of spikes or have to fish he would... Probably take the later option. But that was besides the point. If he didn't need to drink water to survive, he would never go near the stuff.

What'd ya know, someone's here. Stryx observed as he approached the rushing river. He picked up the pace a little bit, just a tiny bit eager to talk to someone new. Hooray for social interaction.

"Hello there!"

[Fuse]

Fuse had had his narrow gray head down in the water when he heard a faint voice in the distance. Lifting his head slowly with water still dripping from his muzzle, he turned to look in the direction it had come from. A little ways off a black and white cat was approaching him. He cocked his head curiously, yet slightly wearily as he rarely encountered others.

He faintly wondered whether this cat stood alone, as he had once, or lived with DeathClan as he could already tell it was no kittypet, this one. Fuse stepped away from the water edge and walked towards the stranger. "Hello." He kept his voice flat and even, as not to provoke anything as his mother had taught him once.

Gray cats. So many gray cats. Stryx did a quick scan of this cat as Fuse approached him a little. Another tom, pretty young, about average to say the least. Very much like me. He kept walking until he got to about two fox-lengths away, bit of a safe distance.

"I haven't seen you before." And he's the second cat I've spoken too here, if he is even DeathClan. Stryx started, swishing his tail behind him as he tilted his head questioningly. "If you don't mind me asking, are you a DeathClanner such as myself?"

[Fuse]

Fuse halted a little ways away, allowing the other cat to the make the last few steps closer. He noticed the cat examine him and did a quick little examination of his own. He deducted it was a tom, presumably around his age by size and facial maturity, though he wasn't exactly sure if all cats were alike in such ways.

The tabby tom raised his eyebrows slightly, keeping his mouth still straight. "Me neither. I suppose I am in all technicality, though I prefer to be away from such things." He explained flatly, still slightly on edge behind his face.

This cat talks funny. Stryx observed. He says 'me neither', yet he is in the clan? He seemed very unprovocative, keeping his voice flatter than a puddle of water. How boring, where's the fun in that?

"Mm." He mused, "If you prefer to stay away from such things...?" Stryx dismissed that sentence with a shake of his head. "Nah, too personal. I'll start more simply, I shall tell you my name. I am known," He did a little bit of a mock bow. "as Stryx. Who're you?"

[Fuse]

Fuse was slightly caught off guard by the way the cat acted, peculiar to him, though he held onto his demeanor nonetheless. He was still rather unsure of the intents of the stranger and had the strange feeling this cat was more of a trickster than he let on.

The gray tom settled back on his haunches, acted casual and at ease. He tipped his head, allowing his mouth to settle comfortably. "Stryx, eh? I was given the name Fuse, so I suppose that is what you ask for."

[Deleted]

This cat is more difficult to have a conversation with than a scorpion. Stryx wasn't a very patient cat, especially when trying to be social, and he was getting tilted. Don't get angry with him Stryx, make friends. You need more of those.

He saw Fuse sit down, playing the casual card. So Stryx sat down as well, on his belly, stretching his feet out in front of himself. "Pleased to meet you Fuse, I'm just wandering around, getting to know those within this pleasant little group."
