((This thread is meant to include Natalia and Ashtail but is open to others as well. I encourage you to post! Honestly, I think it'd be great for this to become a larger interaction :3 Just ah... Let Ash post first! It would make the most sense that way.)) Natalia was kind of pissed to be honest. She was hearing rumors about Dove's death and suddenly some she-cat calling themselves Ash claimed leadership!Alright, Dove had kind of already claimed leadership when she'd joined... But also Natalia didn't have as strong ties to Deathclan back then. Like Hell was she going to just follow some random cat who had the nerve to take control! Not that Natalia had any interest in ruling Deathclan or anything, but someone she felt she could trust would be a lot better! Considering she was reasonably sure many of the cats in Deathclan were relatively young...Maybe Pain. They'd gotten a rough start, but she felt he was trustworthy enough to lead Deathclan in the right direction. She wondered if after she talked to this Ash cat that it would be hard to convince him....Still.Anyways, she gotten a brief description of the cat... So she'd gone searching. Finally, she came across a cat in a clearing. "Oi! Are you Ash?"

Ash Ash was messily finishing a skinny mouse she caught, eager to move on. She wiped the blood off of her face with a paw before continuing toward her old den. I need a nap.. she thought. I can make DeathClan rise, she told herself, looking at the quiet space around her. She paused as she heard noise, then a voice. "Ash? Why do you need Ash?" she asked calmly.

Natalia had come across Ash eating a rather pathetic looking mouse. It didn't seem like something that would be particularly filling. She wanted to blow up at Ash, but she kept her calm, albeit aside from her irritation bleeding through.
"So I heard you've been going around saying you're Deathclan's new leader." She accused, her tone making it clear she didn't approve of Ash thus far. "Did you kill Dove?"

Ash Ash huffed, her eyes narrowed, "Kill Dove? No." she said almost humorously. "Dove died, rats it seemed like," she said. "So, do you need anything?" she asked her head tilting down.

Natalia wasn't willing to take Ash's word for it. She'd look for Dove's apparent corpse on her own time. She wanted to verify it, since she didn't have basis on which to judge Ash on. So far? The oddly marked gray she-cat was making a terrible first impression.
She narrowed her eyes. "I'd like to know why you think you should be leading Deathclan. I don't even know who you are." Her tone was accusatory.

Ash Ash twitched her nose, "Do you?" she asked, "Oh, you don't know me? You must be newer," she commented. "When Drought was ruling, I was Royalty before I was an adult, I've been loyal since then." The tabby huffed. "I've had experience with DeathClan, and it's not my fault that you don't know me."

Natalia flattened her ears. "Since you don't know me, you must live under a rock." She returned. True, she had never known Drought... But that didn't mean much. She lashed her tail. "Mind explaining where you've been then? I haven't even caught a whiff of your scent my entire time here. Wouldn't take you for a shut-in like some kittypet."

Ash "I've been here, " she said coldly. "You might have noticed that I do move a lot, there's the chance that that might be the reason," she said, trying to stay calm.

Natalia snorted. "Really? You'd still leave a scent trail. I haven't caught even the stalest of scents." Then her expression grew even colder. Not only did she feel zero empathy or sympathy for this... Ash... But she felt an anger burning. Her life before, the only cat to blame, to be angry at, was Thomas. She could never muster up that kind of feeling for her big brother.
But this cat?
This cat was someone she had no problem aiming her more dangerous personality traits at. "Sorry if I don't think an obscure stranger is suitable to lead Deathclan."

Ash Ash huffed, "Try harder, then" she said simply her tail slowly building up speed. She was getting rather annoyed. "Oh? You only say that, because you haven't gotten to know me, yet," she said through gritted teeth.

Natalia snorted. "If you want me, a member of Deathclan, to follow you... You need to earn my respect. So far? I'm afraid you're falling a bit short." She raised a paw. "Oh wait. Seems you're so far off the mark you've forgotten up isn't down." Then her mocking tone disappeared as she lowered her voice to a dangerous level.
"You want me to think you're someone worth knowing? Show me you're not some pompous asshole who needs to be knocked off their high horse."

Ash Ash frowned, her claws straining to say unsheathed. "You say you're a member of DeathClan," she stated. "If you don't feel I'm worthy of being known by you, you could just leave, you know." With that, she felt like she needed to stay ready for an attack, her eyes glaring with challenge.

Natalia noticed Ash getting a bit twitchy around the paws. She smirked. She wasn't a cocky cat. She didn't freely revel in the thought of being above others. But honestly? She felt at least a small amount of satisfaction that she was irritating Ash.
She snorted. "I could leave. But I won't, because I'm not going to be chased away so easily." There was an intense look in her eyes, making it clear she was being perfectly honest with her statement. Deathclan was her home, dammit! She wasn't leaving just because some ass starts running around calling themselves the leader.
Then she tilted her head. "Though, I have to admit, you'd really like it if I left, wouldn't you? I'm a cat who stands firmly against your claim of leadership." She pointed out. "Now, I have no interest in leading Deathclan myself. But I can think of at least one cat I'd rather follow, and guess what smartass? His name isn't Ash." Her tone dropped into growl near the end of her statement.

Ash Ash huffed,"Then that's your choice," she said, not pushing the question. The tabby huffed, "Well, you know that makes perfect sense, because you don't even know me. But do you think I care for your opinion?" she challenged further, sinking her claws into the soft dirt.

Natalia rolled her eyes. "Yeah. I don't know you. But I'm fairly sure you care about my opinion. Why would you be so irritated by my words, otherwise? I can see your claws sinking into the dirt." She snorted. "You're acting all tough, but I think it's an act. You trying to prove something here?"
