[Patch]

Stormy

Patch had avoided both Deathclan and Iceclan for a while. She just couldn't understand. Why was this her life? The she-cat sighed as she walked through the plains, steering away from the barn.

Her green eyes spotted a figure with a familiar grey pelt. Her eyes widened and she staggered back a little. Was it..? No. There were many grey cats around here, it couldn't be her. Still, nothing bad with making conversation. She trotted over to the cat and waved her tail, "Hello!"

[Stormy]

Stormy was wandering about, trying to get to know the area and maybe teach herself how to survive. Eating scraps wouldn't last her forever, so she had to learn. She thought back to the other day, remembering the way her body naturally went into that odd crouching pose... A voice broke her thoughts. Of course, everyone always approached on her blind side! Stormy spun on her heels, finding the cat with her good eye first before blinking. Why did this cat seem strikingly familiar, yet like a complete stranger. Realizing she'd been staring for awhile, she bashfully stuttered out "Greetings."She said, dipping her head respectfully, though eyeing the cat in confusion.

[Patch]

Patch tilted her head, examining the younger cat. She already felt a bond resurfacing for her head. Realizing she had stared for a while as well, she snapped her gaze away. "Um, do I know you from somewhere... Or are you new?" She asked awkwardly, her paws shifting around.

[Stormy]

Stormy flicked her ear, trying not to get excited. She wasn't the only one whom had these weird moments with memories that she remembered but didn't?!?! Wait, she shouldn't jump to conclusions... "If you're asking my age, I believe that's classified information." She said, fluffing out her fuzzy kitten fur.

[Patch]

Patch blinked, nodding at the kit's response. She looked up at the air cautiously, and then back at Stormy. "Um... That's reasonable, I guess." She chuckled. "Sorry if I was interrupting your hunting earlier, it looked you were at the moment." She added, flicking an ear.

Maybe she could teach them some hunting tactics? She shrugged at the thought.

[Stormy]

Stormy shook her head, looking embaressed "No, I was just err, jumping for fun?"She sounded more unsure than dignified. Also, it was a total lie. She was trying to hunt she supposed. Which she couldn't... She didn't know how to hunt. Except for those odd few times. But the odd hunches she got were just that, odd hunches. She couldn't trust them! It was too weird to. And weird was bad. Stormy wanted to live!

[Patch]

Patch laughed, not buying the kid's lie. Did the kid even know how to hunt? "Fine. Never caught your name, by the way. I'm Patch." She steered away from the topic for now. See if she confirmed that she could hunt later. But seriously, the voice, the fur, it seemed way to familiar for comfort.

[Stormy]

Stormy eyed Patch thoughtfully for a moment "I'm Stormy, nice to meet you" she said slowly, sitting down and wrapping her tail around her paws. She felt as though Patch knew more than she was letting on, and it was beginning to make Stormy a bit nervous. Sure, Patch was a full grown cat and Stormy wasn't, but Stormy was sure it was something more than that. She couldn't quite put her paw on it though. Oh well, thoughts for another time.

[Patch]

Patch staggered back a step at the cat's name. No. Names didn't mean anything, Patch had a very different name from Nighthowl, yet here she is. The she-cat blinked, wanting to try something. "Stormpaw... Did I hear that right?" She murmured, going back to her original position.

[Stormy]

Stormy saw Patch stumble backwards a bit. Hmm? Did she say something offensive? Stormy didn't think so. Oh well. At the name Stormpaw, Stormy jumped a bit in surprise. That sounded so familiar! But from where? She shook her head " Just Stormy, actually. What kind of cat would name their daughter after a paw?" she joked, trying to ease herself of the tension she was feeling from her own confusion.

[Patch]

"Eh, apparently clanners have a phase where they have 'paw at the end of their names."

Patch tilted her head, noticing the small reaction out of Stormy. She smiled faintly, wanting to try something again. She was going to get answers, even if it meant she had to kill. Whatever, she had slowly gotten over her fear, yet the thought still made her shutter.

"You want to see me catch a hawk?"

[Stormy]

clanners? Stormy didn't think she really knew what they were. The word held a certain familiar ring to it however. Before she got the chance to ask however, Patch asked another question. Stormy's fur bristled up in fear. Hawks. She didn't know what they were, yet the word alone brushed her the wrong way. She blinked a bit before trying to smoothen her fur and relax a bit again. " N-no thanks. I think I'll pass. Sounds kinda scary and I think we'd both like to walk away from this alive." Stormy meowed, whispering the last part under her breath. " besides, I don't know how much watching I could do. My sight efficiency is only 50% ya know" She joked, trying to steer the conversation away from Hawks.

[Patch]

Patch smiled, purring slightly. "They're just birds, don't worry. The worst it can do in my case is have this scar on the neck." She shrugged, pointing her tail at her first scar. She then flicked her ears in interest. "And try going blind for a moon or two, I had cobwebs over my eyes and it was a really interesting experience. Also kinda the reason for the scars under my eyes..."

She forced a chuckle at the last part, recalling herself clawing at her eyes. It was an instinct out of confusion, she told herself.
