Razor-Like Claws ((OPEN!))

[Ashtail]

    "I'm Ash." The tabby looked at Bear with a confused, yet amused look on her face, "You have barely met Razor and I, and let us come, yet growl at another?" The royal shook her head with a calm emote, then flicked her tail apologetically at Fade. She lifted her multi-colored tail in front of bear, trying to have her calm.

[Bear]

Bear let out a low, muffled growl. "Yes, I have because I INVITED you here. Fade was not invited, hmm?" She spat over the sound of rain pouring outside and thunder rolling. Stalking up slowly to the unauthorized tom, Bear took a few whiffs, around his face, paws, tail, back, neck, then, without warning, Bear snaked her head under Fade, then her back, then went from a low crouch quickly to her towering hieght all in the blink of an eye. Bear immediately drew away, waiting to hear the painful smack of muscle against the rock. Just to see how he would react. If they fit to Bear's style, it was good.

[Fade]

Fade slammed against the rock. His breath was gone as it came out of him in a sharp exhale. He barely managed to land well, but he was still standing. His gaze still held nothing. He heard the delicious echo from his muscle meeting the wall, but he didn't even blink. "Satisfied?"

[Bear]

Bear, when out of injurys reach, stepped a little bit closer. "Yea, now I'm satisfied. You can stay if you want."

[Fade]

Fade sat back down, no hesitations in his movements. "Thank you," He said calmly. "It's a nice den."

[Bear]

Bear nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, it is."

[Thornpaw]

Razor had been watching the interaction with a calm and careful gaze. She had seen, without flinching, Bear attack the stranger and still he didn't look fazed. For a moment, she wondered if the two ever truly fought, if Bear would win by pure strength or lose by his calm attitude. She didn't know the answer, but to be totally honest, she would root for Bear. Not that that made much of a difference.

Turning her back on Fade, the silver she-cat scoffed. "Its Razor." she muttered, glancing at the cave's owner. "Shall we eat and settle the thick mood of suspicion?"

[Fade]

"If you wish, I can show you to a nest full of mice," Fade offered calmly.

[Bear]

Bear nodded to razor and then turned, her tail flashing by Fades nose. Bet padded to the back of the cave, and came back with 4 prey. 1 Fish, 1 mouse, 1 shrew, and 1 vole. "I brought a variety." She said, grabbing the large Red and biting into the fish.

[Thornpaw]

Razor lashed her tail at Fade. "Out in the rain?" she mused, listening to the rain pouring just outside the cave. Even just a single step would cause a soaked pelt. And she certainly didn't want to smell wet cat. "No. Not even I want to see someone suffer like that. You can feed us later-if the mice are still dry." Padding to the prey, she sniffed at the fish. "Any takers for this? I've never tried it."

[Fade]

"You take it," Fade said as he took the shrew and dug in. "Thank you for the food."

[Bear]

Bear nodded, taking a bite of her fish. She ate scales and all. It was like heaven to her.

[Fade]

Fade finished his meal, then looked up at Bear. "What shall we do now?" Asked the expressionless tabby.

[Thornpaw]

Razor decided to eat the vole, and once she was done, she heard Fade ask a question. Taking a claw between her teeth absentmindedly, she waited for a reply. Personally, she wanted to say they would all wait for the rain to stop-as it was quite obvious that was going to happen. But then she realized how obvious it must have been to the others, too, so she kept her jaws clamped shut. Fade was probably talking about what to do inside the cave. And the silvery white she-cat had no clue.

[Fade]

Fade began to groom himself. "We could spar," He suggested as he lapped at his tabby coat.
