She grinned, finding it funny that he'd said that. 'Maybe I'm just not scary to him because he's huge.' She couldn't remember if FireClanners were big or not, but she was pretty positive that they weren't. "You're adopted? Me too!" Hailspirit couldn't help but purr again over the fact that they shared something in common. "Though your adoptive mother sounds terrifying." Who could ear-cuff their own kit?

[Fangshadow]

He perked up, adoptive felines weren't all that rare these days. However, finding a nice and good conversationalist out of the bunch there was the challenge. "Really, well it's nice to meet a fellow Fallen." He gave a grin. "She's not as bad as my story's probably make her out to be" he gave a rusty purr. "So umm are you of another clan or rouge?" since they were in the same boat he didn't think she would mind to much.

[Palefire]

Hailspirit shifted her paws around. "Rouge." She didn't think anything of it, and hoped that Fangshadow didn't, either. "What about you?" She hadn't even considered another clan being an option, so she wondered if that was his situation. 'But how did he end up in FireClan?'

[Fangshadow]

He nodded "Alright Very nice" he didn't mind in fact he was a bit intrigued. The whole idea was quite interesting. When the question was returned he wasn't so sure though. Should I just be honest? Could I get in trouble? "Oh um... I'm from another clan." He hesitated not really fond on giving the details of course he wasn't asked to tell about them so... "Not really sure if you would want the long boring story so I guess we can leave it at that." he attempted to change routes. "Tell me HailSpirit, are you excited for the kits I mean?"

[Palefire]

'Another clan?' That was interesting. She figured it wasn't RockClan or else he'd say. She didn't push the subject, as it seemed he didn't want to talk about it. Hailspirit purred at his question. "I'm very excited. I just hope they'll like me." She twitched her whiskers. "Are you gonna have any more kits?"

[Fangshadow]

He was glad to have the subject successfully changed. Giving a smile as she was indeed excited. "I'm sure they will adore you" he chuckled as she was worried about such a trivial thing who ever heard of a kit not liking it's mother. He shook his head out of habit regardless if she hadn't reseseved the gesture. "Nah, I don't think so. My mate isn't in the best of health..." He didn't plan on kits he had quite a handful.

[Palefire]

"I hope so." She frowned at his answer. "She isn't? May I ask what's wrong?" She felt terribly sorry for him, even if they hardly knew each other. 'I hope the medicine cat can help her recover quick.'

[Fangshadow]

He purred as she seemed to be worried for him.. a stranger.. a rival. He realized he needed to give an answer instead of zone out. "Oh I don't mind, she might not be to happy about it though" he chuckled. Though the happiness trailed off with it... "She's gone partly blind, and now her health isn't what it used to be. She tells me we aren't as young as we used to be.. and that may be true but she's not the same.." He sighed... "Oh sorry to be so glum. Lets stay cheery. Have you thought of names?"

[Palefire]

"I'm so sorry. That must be rough." She trailed a paw in the dirt, wishing there was something she could do. 'I guess I can always stay positive.' "I think she's going to be okay. It's all gonna work out." Hailspirit paused, not knowing what to say. Then he changed the topic. "No, not really! I'll probably have to ask my clanmates for naming help..."

[Fangshadow]

He gave a sad smile "Oh don't be sorry child, really we aren't getting any younger." As her next statement can he gave a small purr. "I sure hope so," he adds. His grin faded as she added asking her own clan. He realized he was probably over stepping his bounds and it wasn't his place to talk to her as a friend.
