A New Face [o]

[Deleted]

(This is set when Legolas comes to join the Tribe. He's found the scent line, and now he wants to find the cats.)

Legolas, his leith body swerving in and out of the long, tall grass, was looking for the scent of the cats that he'd scented a couple of days ago. Peering through the grass, he saw feline figures. Some were tall, slender and lean. Other were big in build and muscular. And there were normal cats that seemed to be eating herbs. Snorting, Legolas wondered why he'd wanted to join these cats in the first place. Eating herbs? Come on! Shaking his creamy-white head, he went on briskly, long legs itching to run across the plain into the abandoned farmhouse. The scent of cats grew stronger. They live here, he thought.

Jade Hated getting into mischief, but it was what she did best, all kits did, walking as quiet as a mouse out of the farmhouse, around some bushes, Jade caught the scent of cat, of course, cats are everywhere. But this wasn't tribe scent, out of 2 days with living with the tribe, she knew that this cat was new, Jade had a thing for letting cats into the tribe, but she couldn't. Jade didn't want to be the leader of the tribe, and she wasn't. Jade felt scared, not wanting the new cat smell her fear-scent, she ran off.

Legolas narrowed his stormy-grey eyes as he picked up a fresh scent. One that smelt of fear. He raced speedily out of the grass, following the scent trail, and managed to see a calico persian kitten. Kittens won't give me any trouble, He thought, then stopped and pelted after the scent. She could lead me to the camp, I guess.

[Delphine]

Delphine hadn't chased out a rogue in a while. She watched Jade from afar, making sure the kit wasn't getting into too much trouble. Delphine had never done anything bad when she was young. She was a rule follower. When a new scent reached her, her guardian instincts made her spring up to her paws and follow it. Delphine wasn't a cat who attacked without question. She wanted answers. Soon she discovered Legolas out in the grass, but was a few tail-lengths away. She couldn't quite see him entirely, but she could smell his different scent. "Halt, outsider! Why are you here?"

[Deleted]

Legolas sighed, frustrated, and stopped. Sitting down on the soft grass, he fixed his stormy grey eyes on this new she-cat. She was one of the cats that were muscular in build. "Why I'm here?" He mused. "I was merely investigating your scents in this strange, harsh world." Looking over her shoulder, he peered at the crumbling abandoned Farmhouse that stood before them. "I'm guessing that's where you cats live?"

[Deleted]

Stopping to hear the bush that had stopped rustling behind her, Jade turned around and saw the new comer turned and facing her friend, Delphine. Wanting to run away from the new cat, Jade knew it was not right to just know a cat's pelt and not it's name. Turning back, Jade looked at the tom and asked "What is your name?"

[Deleted]

Legolas stopped and stared at Jade with stormy-grey eyes. The tom smiled an eerie smile slightly, then answered, "I am Legolas. The Tall One. Fearless. Stealthy." This was how Legolas told everyone his name.

[Delphine]

Delphine turned her head to the farmhouse. "Yes, it is." When Jade joined her side she was surprised. The kit was normally shy. Delphine was proud of her. She snickered at Legolas's introduction. What an arrogant outsider. "Well, Legolas, if you intend on staying I suggest you put your stealth to good use."

[Deleted]

Before feeling happy about Legolas joining the tribe, Jade thought of the better. This cat could make a good prey-hunter. Before commenting her thoughts to Delphine, Jade flickered her tail over Legolas' ear and then exclaimed her thoughts. "You would make a good-prey hunter, what do you think your going to be?"

[Deleted]

Legolas stood up in his full height, which was unusually tall. Shaking out his creamy-white fur, he narrowed his eyes at the cat as she snickered. He merely replied with, "Anything wrong?" Stepping slightly away from the persian kitten that flicked his ear, he twitched his tail in confusion. "A prey-hunter?" He echoed, blinking. "And what would that be?"

[Deleted]

Unsure how to describe a prey-hunter, Jade looked at Delphine. Surely she would know some stuff about hunting because she's more experienced.

[Deleted]

After spotting the three cats, a skinny, long-legged siamese kitten named Cody sneaked over unseen and meowed "Hello! What's happening out here?" her voice was happy and excited until she saw Legolas, "Whose this? she sniffed the tom, "He doesn't smell like a tribe cat."
It was then that she noticed this wasn't a tribe cat and started to hiss "Why is there an outsider here?"

[Deleted]

Legolas bared his teeth at the new siamese kitten as she sniffed him and hissed. "Why am I here? Oh, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure I'm older than you, and you wouldn't want me to go..." He unsheathed his claws and swiped at the ground, slicing off grass stalks.

[meh... no muse.]

[Delphine]

Delphine shook her head and did not sat what was on her mind. "Oh, it's nothing." When Jade looked up expectantly at her, she answered the question. "In the tribe you either hunt, guard or heal. Prey-hunters hunt the food for the tribe." When Cody came, she gave the her fellow tribe member a harsh look. "Back away from him! Never approach a cat you don't know like that!"

[Deleted]

Scaredly, the young siamese backed away, trying not to show her fear, "Hey can you hear that? I think someone's calling me... Bye!" She dashed off as fast as she could.
