Edgepaw
After hearing about the Avalanche in Iceclan and their move, Eclipsepaw had devised to escape her border and see the clan for herself. Would they be broken and sad? Heroic? She'd never met an Iceclan cat before and didn't know what to expect.
The black and white she-cat stepped over her border and onto the plains before realizing she had absolutely no idea where to go. Never mind the fact she wasn't allowed to. Not that that had ever mattered to her. "Hellooooo?!"

Edgekit's pride had been damaged, to say the least. The stupid snow had trapped him and he'd needed help to get out. Help. But, he'd ignored it the best he could and decided to go outside and explore. Perhaps he'd find something useful or maybe even catch a mouse. That was doubtful—he wasn't stupid. Kittens couldn't catch mice. I hate being a kit. Especially since the avalanche had happened. Everything back home was ruined and there was nothing he could do—and despite not wanting to admit it, he was actually very upset about the whole thing.
At the sound of the voice, the kitten perked his ears. He wasn't supposed to be outside. So, he crouched down in the grass and crept as silently forward as possible, as he'd practiced with Snap-paw. When he spotted the she-cat, he frowned. She didn't look or smell like and IceClan cat, and he immediately became suspicious. He padded forward. "And who're you?"

Eclipsepaw hadn't actually expected anyone to answer, so her ears pricked in surprise when a kit appeared. Raising her head the black and white she-cat assessed the tom excitedly. "I'm Eclipsepaw, future leader of Fireclan!" She cheered. "And you gotta be a kit, right? You're so small I could probably eat you in one bite." He head tipped as she considered him. "Or maybe two if you took a really big breath first."
He stunk of Iceclan and loner territory, so she was really hoping this was one of the Iceclan cats she'd been searching for. Though why they'd let a kit wander around by himself was beyond her. Perhaps he was some kind of super-kit? Awesome.

Edgekit looked her up and down. He had no experience with other clans, but he knew she wasn't from IceClan. Her pelt was thinner, her legs longer, and her build slighter. Though the tortoiseshell himself was quite big for his age, he was at least a head shorter than she was. When she spoke, however, his questions were answered. FireClan. "Future leader?" He gave a soft snort, walking closer. "Edgekit, son of Robinstar, the only one here that could actually possibly be a future leader." He grinned mischievously.
"That's not true!" He responded, narrowing amber eyes. "You couldn't even fit me in your mouth, big-shot," he huffed, eyes flashing with a mixture of amusement and annoyance.

"You're the son of Robinstar?" She repeated, green eyes widening in surprise. Wow, that had to make him pretty important than. Still, she wasn't one to be intimidated by blood. "Well we'll just see who becomes leader first, wont we?" She challenged, a wicked grin on her face.
She took Edgekit's denial as a challenge,as she always did and opened her mouth as wide as she could while laughing, leaning towards him to take a bite. "Aaaaaaaaa...." Trying not to laugh, Eclipsepaw attempted to chomp down (lightly) on Edgekit's head.

"I am," he responded quickly after, his confidence shining through his voice. He rolled his eyes at her offer of a challenge, but he had never been one to back down. His eyes gleamed as they returned to their proper place. "Not much of a challenge—I already have a head start and I'm not slowing down." He told her smoothly, puffing out his chest.
"What—" he pushed her face away, giving her a strange look. "Thats... That would take a lot more than one or two bites, that's for sure." He flicked his slightly fluffy tail, eyeing her curiously. "Why are you even here?"

Eclipsepaw snorted, her green eyes sparkling excitedly. Finally! She'd met someone with a little bit of fire in their heart. Considering she lived in Fireclan, a lot of the cats she was surrounded by were surprisingly dull. "I've got some bloodlines too, you know," she added, raising her head so she could look down on the tom. It was hard considering he was surprisingly tall for a kit. He was probably some kind of mutant. "Jackalfrost is my brother."
When Edgekit pushed her she let herself fall to the ground in a heap of giggles, though did concentrate long enough to reach up and jab the kit playfully. "Awww, did I scare the poor kitten?" Rolling her eyes Eclipsepaw looked away. "I wanted to ask an Iceclan cat if their pee froze in the winter while they're trying to go to the toilet." She answered honestly.

"Oh?" He raised one fictional eyebrow curiously. When she mentioned Jackalfrost, he frowned slightly. "Annnnnd... who is Jackalfrost?" Considering Jackal was fairly new as a deputy and Edgekit hadn't been around much lately, he was completely lost on the name. Clearly there was no star after his name, so Edge was still winning.
"Scare me?" He snorted, toughing out her jab as she fell to the ground. "No way, big-shot." He decided that's what's he'd call her from then on. He blinked at the question, pondering it for a moment. "Y'know," he said, "it actually does. Not while you're actually doing your business, though—that would just hurt."

Eclipse's face dead-panned as Edgekit revealed he had no idea who Jackalfrost was. "Don't you Iceclan cat's have any education? He's the deputy of Fireclan." If she'd managed to hear stories about Iceclan pee in Fireclan, but Edgekit hadn't even learned the names of his rivals, then she supposed it was awfully lucky she hadn't been born in Iceclan.
Eclipsepaw began laughing much, much harder once Edgekit confirmed her suspicion. "Oh that would hurt so much!" she agreed, covering her muzzle to muffle the laughter. "You are so weird Edgekit." She rolled over, eyes narrowing. "So, what's a kit like you doing out here, huh?"

Edgekit snorted. "Much more than you dopes over in FireClan," he retorted, drawing himself up. "Besides, I'm a kit. Nobody gossips with a kit. I don't go to gatherings. How am I supposed to know this stuff?" He huffed in annoyance at the fact that he had to explain. He hated being a kit. It was the absolute worst.
He shuddered at the thought, imagining a cat walking around with frozen… he shook the thought from his head. "Hey! Says you. Where'd you even hear that rumor anyway?" It was pretty obvious that anything water-based would freeze in winter, in his opinion, but he wasn't sure how the other Clans heard about it. "I'm just exploring. No one noticed. Why are you here? You couldn't have broken the warrior code or whatever just to ask me a stupid question."

She'd yet to see the fruits of Iceclan's 'education', but was willing to give Edgekit the benefit of the doubt. "You at least know your own deputies name, right?" She teased, flicking Edgekit with her tail.
The young she-cat snorted. "It was part of my night-time story from Jackalfrost. He always puts in funny things like that. I never thought it'd be true." Her expression was perfectly innocent, since she had broken the warrior code just to ask such a thing. "Well you broke the warrior code to do some simple exploring; I don't see the difference. I'm just exploring for knowledge, it's the same thing."

Edgekit frowned at her. "Of course I do, stupid," he responded, his voice betraying exasperation. But his amber eyes flickered with amusement. He never really talked to many cats other than his brother, and it was quite entertaining.
"It's not exactly true," he responded defensively. "It takes a while to freeze because it's so warm. It doesn't happen while I'm standing there." He tilted his head. "I'm exploring for knowledge. And fun, but that's not the point. And I think rules are meant to be bent and broken and thrown around, but not for asking if pee freezes in the winter." He laughed.

Straightening up, Eclipsepaw blew in his face, simply because she called. "Thought I'd check, stupid." Her eyes were lively and warm, betraying the fact that she was actually enjoying herself with the weird Iceclanner.
"Still kind of gross," she admitted with a shrug. "Curiosity isn't going to get me killed," Eclipse replied confidently. "There's no sense living by the same rules all the time. We'd never have the chance to grow." It wasn't like she broke the code daily. Just when she felt she needed to. "Besides, it was a good question."

"Gross?" He asked. "It's cleaner than un-frozen pee!" He grunted, trying to defend his clan and, well, himself. "It could most definitely get you killed. Haven't you ever heard curiosity killed the cat? I could have a whole army behind me ready to attack." He, of course, didn't, but he was being theoretical. He'd never let anyone know that he'd gone out, except maybe Snap-paw. He wouldn't rat him out. "It was not!"

"How!? What if you accidentally eat it!?" She wasn't entirely sure how such a thing would happen, but probably someday, somewhere, it had happened. She giggled, because she most definitely had heard that saying, but it definitely didn't apply to her. She was awesome. "No way. Who would follow a kit like you that freezes his own pee?" His denial was so vehement that she almost fell over laughing again. "It totally was! Admit it, I amuse you, Edgekit!"
