Esther quietly lapped water from a puddle, thankful for the rain last night. This was much more convenient than walking down to the river. Swallowing, she quickly swiped her tongue over her muzzle to catch any remaining drops.

Then her fur stood on end. Another cat scent was near. 'I should never let my guard down, even if I'm only drinking water.' Her nose twitched as she sniffed the air again. "Is anyone there?" She called out softly, trying her best to keep her fur flat.

[Spice]

Spice strolled towards the younger feline with confidence and amusement. "That would be me," she tilted her head and gave a warm smile. So what she was a happy kitty in the mornings. Flicking her tail she purred with amusement in her expression. "You don't have to puff up because of me really I'm not in the mood for a fight you can try me tommorow if your still feeling it." With that she flopped down on the moist earth. "I'm Spice, what can I call you?"

[Deleted]

Esther took a step back when Spice emerged. She didn't return the smile, gaze falling to the ground instead. This cat was really confident. 'Probably because she sees a little scrap like me and thinks, "hey, this'll be a fun little thing to play with!"' Her claws unsheathed very slowly. She didn't like to fight, but she had no idea as to where this encounter was going.

"I'm not puffed up." She lied blatantly, taking a pause before going on, "and I don't want to fight you." She tried to sound confident like Spice, but her voice only ended up sounding a smidge louder. She didn't move when Spice flopped down. "Esther."

[Spice]

"Yeah your not puffed up and Mice fly. It's nothing to be embarrassed over really it was my bad for startling you" with a small smile she nodded. "Yeah I guess I wouldn't want to fight my self either so I guess we will be good there" tilting her head and settling down with a soft thump she added. "Esther? Hmm I like that."

[Deleted]

Esther remained silent, her fur beginning to flatten. 'Maybe she's not all that bad.' She thought, though her claws stayed unsheathed. She wouldn't let her guard down just yet. She eyed Spice carefully, not saying much to her words. "Thank you." She murmured in response to the compliment. She liked the sound of Spice's name, too, but she wasn't going to tell her that. For all she knew, Spice's compliment wasn't actually a compliment and she was just trying to manipulate her.

[Spice]

"Of course," smiling she eased her self by bathing her fur with her soft pinkish hued tounge. Tilting her head in the process she spoke softly, "You wont be needing them claws." Looking up with brown optics she sighed "Hopefuly that missguaded trust wont effect our realtionship,"

[Deleted]

Esther didn't respond, keeping her claws out. She wouldn't sheath them just because a stranger told her to. That was stupid. Her gaze stayed on her paws when Spice spoke. 'Misguided trust? It's not like I'm gonna trust some stranger right away!' Her ears flattened slightly. "Yes. Hopefully."

[Spice]

She was amused. "Alright, thats cool I guess i'm to trusting for my own good health huh." Shifting she gave a small sigh. "Guess we should get to know eachother no?"

[Deleted]

Esther shrugged, slowly taking a seat. Maybe... this cat wasn't like the others. She tipped her head in curiosity, gaze trailing up to meet the other feline's. "Um, sure. How do we do that?"

[Spice]

she shrugged. "We could asked eachother questions.. if your not to weirded out by that" she smiled. She liked this kitty already and was hoping that the feeling would be mutual by the end of there meeting.

[Deleted]

"Oh, okay..." She tried to offer a smile, though it was small and frail. "I guess you can start? I'm not sure what to do."

[Spice]

"Your favorite word?" she said the first thing that came to her mind. Smiling as she was given a tentive smile from Esther.
