Muddy Heels (open)

[Cyra]

((this will be open to up to two cats. I would prefer if Cyra already knew the cats in the thread, but I will not mind her meeting new cats as well.))


Cyra made her way through the swamp on soft paws. The day was just beginning and the early sun light blazed the swamp grounds. As she walked she carefully avoided the mud puddles that littered the ground. The muddy water's muggy surface lightly glimmered in the sunlight. Cyra leaped over a small puddle and caught the heel of her right hind-leg in the edge of it as she landed. Cyra let out a frustrated sigh and shook her back paw flinging the mud off. She sat down in a dry spot and groomed her back leg. She wasn't doing anything in particular, just wandering around to try and find something interesting. She was secretly hoping to run into someone she knew. Sighing again Cyra got back to her paws and stretched out her scar covered legs. Her legs now reached almost their full length now that she was an adult. The she-cat had grown in height by some lengths and now was the same height as most Deathclan cats. A soft thud sounded behind her and she spun on her heel to spot another cat. "Hello," she meowed with a friendly smile.

[Luna]

Luna had been taking a walk, and was steered off towards the swamp. Her paws carried her after an unknown cat scent, that weaved through the fronds. The scent was a little ways up, and Luna pinpointed a beech tree. Silently, the shecat wound her way up the tree, claws sliding in easily. Luna overtook the sight of another she-cat. The cat made her way down the branch she was on, only to stop dead when she heard a snap. The twig-like branch tumbled to the ground, and Luna went with it. Deciding it would be embarrassing to LANd crookedly, Luna put all her weight everywhere, and landed lightly on her paws. When the shecat whipped around, and said hello, Luna was taken aback. "Hello." She meowed.

[Cyra]

Cyra couldn't help but notice the surprise on the unfamiliar she-cat's face. She sat down across from the other Deathclanner and peered up at the tree the she-cat stood under. The branch just above the she-cat had snapped and the branch was now shattered and sprawled out around Cyra's visitor. "Chasing a squirrel?" she asked with a smirk. Cyra wondered what the she-cat had been doing since most squirrels stayed away from the swamp. "Or were you spying on me?" she added narrowing her eyes slightly.

[Luna]

Luna let out a growl. "I thought I caught a squirrels scent, and found this mangy feline here." Luna meowed, nodding to Cyra. A smug expression clung to her face. "Your a funny looking squirrel." Luna added, voice full of amusement. But when Cyra accused her of spying, the moonlike shecat huffed. "I wasn't spying." Luna snapped coldly. With a sigh, she introduced herself. "I'm Luna. You are?"

[Deleted]

The dark tabby padded through the swamp area. His dark amber eyes shining from the shadows. Two familiar voices reached his ears making him from. He snuck up behind Cyra and cuffed her ear lightly. "I do hope my girls are getting along." He commented casually as he sat by Cyra. Smiling at Luna. "Good to see you again Luna." He moewed before poking Cyra. "And you little bean sprout, how's the training going?"

[Luna]

Luna cast a glance back into the muggy forest. Suddenly, a familiar voice reached her ears. The shecat's head whipped around and her eyes rested on Rebellion. Secretly, her heart melted. "Greetings, Rebellion." Luna responded. It felt as if she had sat in an ant pile. The grey shecat lifted a paw to era her bristled tongue over it. Her pads were a bit cracked, but only a little. Her ears twitched slightly.

[Cyra]

Cyra let out a soft laugh. "Sorry I'm no squirrel," she meowed with amusement. This Luna cat is quite snappy Cyra thought. "I'm Cyra-" she began as a paw cuffed her ear. A familiar voice sounded behind her and she smiled. She looked at Rebellion with a warm smile as he sit next to her. "Yeah, we were just talking about," she paused and looked back at Luna "squirrels..." she finished. It had been a while since she had talked with Rebellion and since their last meeting she had grown a lot. She was close to his height now, though not as tall as the tom and she now had plenty of battle scars from those stupid rats and snakes. "I'm not so little anymore," she meowed rolling her eyes at the tom's nickname. She sat up taller and puffed out her chest slightly. "And training has been fine. I have had plenty of battles to help my battle skills. I helped save Drought and now I'm a royal," she purred. She couldn't help but feel prideful of her accomplishment. "Although I could always use some more training," she added poking Rebellion with her paw in return.

[Deleted]

He grinned and licked her ear. "Congrats kid! Never thought you'd become a royal. Proud of yeah. And whenever you want to train then come find me." The scarred tabby smile before looking at Luna with a smile

[Cyra]

"Never thought I would become a royal?" she teased. She knew want he meant and gave him lick on the shoulder to show her thanks. "Sounds good. How have you been?" she asked "I haven't seen you in a while," (kind of lazy....))

[Luna]

Luna glanced up, ignoring their long conversation. With a sigh, she looked down again, catching a few words they said. The massive shecat shook out her thick pelt. "Anyone want some prey?" She inturupted, throwing a glance at the two. Luna was a bit grief stricken.

[Deleted]

He gave a small smile. "Been off finishing some old business of mine from my loner days." He replied. Then looked up at Luna. "Err yeah sure thank you."

[Luna]

Luna nodded and stood, turning and slipping away. Relieved to be away from the strange conversation, she instantly spotted a plump vole a few branch lienths away. Luna trotted forward, before dropping into a crouch. Silently, the shecat flattened out, and began stalking forward. Suddenly, she realized there were two. Probrobly fighting over a female. Her tail swished, and she leapt. Her paws were outstreatched, and she landed on one. Luna swiped out at the second one, but it scurried away. With a growl of annoyance, she nipped the throat of the one she caught.

[Cyra]

Cyra nodded to Rebellion one eyebrow raised at he mention of his loner days. She looked up at Luna feeling embarrassed for forgetting about the she-cat. "Sounds good," she agreed getting up on all fours. She watched Luna as she skillfully hunted a vole and just missed a second one. Cyra was tempted to give chase to the vole that Luna missed but stayed where she was. "Good catch!" she called. Scenting the air Cyra caught a scent of a mouse. A few fox-lengths away she spotted the plump creature and got into her best hunter's crouch. She crept forward on light paws and as she reached close she prepared to pounce. The wind's direction changed as she wiggled her haunches and the mouse reacted quickly. Letting out a hiss she jumped after her prey and caught the mouse with her fore paw. She drew the prey  closer to herself and bit its neck. She grabbed her catch and brought the mouse over to where she had been sitting.  

[Deleted]

He chuckled grinning. "Impressive both of you." He complimented

[Luna]

Cyra gave a 'Good job' and Luna nodded her thanks. But when she darted forward, after a plump mouse, and caught it, Luna praised her too. "Good catch!" And she nodded to rebellion, and padded over to him. Plopping down the vole, she also added, "want me to catch something, or are you tired of me catching them?" Her eyes were full of amusement.
