-For @arwen only please <3-

Shred purred as he lay in Deathclan camp, a smile on his face as he groomed his scarred and battered tail. The texture of it felt weird against his tongue, although he was getting used to the bumpiness. The young white tom then began to move his head away from his tail and towards his chest, where he started to groom the fur on it as it had gotten quite dirty.

As the feline was grooming himself, he began to feel eyes on him. He flickered his eyes upwards and saw that there was another cat looking down at him- they had black fur and yellow(?) eyes. "Oh, hello," He greeted them, lifting his head upwards quickly, which made his floppy ear bounce up, then down, hitting him in the face. He grumbled slightly at it before turning his attention back to the anonymous she-cat.

Arwen moved forward through the tall grass with as much stealth as she could muster, her small frame easily hiding behind the tall grass. Her eyes locked on the small robin in front of her, tail twitching in anticipation. Lunging forward the bird squawked in surprise, and before her claws could meet feather it flew away. Arwen allowed her shoulders to slump, disappointed with herself. Hunting had always been hard, but she could at least rely on scraps back in the city.

Arwen perked up at the sight of another kit a few fox lengths away, trotting forward calmly. Perhaps the stranger could take her mind off her many hunting fails. She giggled as his ear flopped in his face, smiling widely. " Hello! I'm Arwen, and you are?" She jumped right into introductions, staring at his battered tail curiously. " What happened to your tail?" She questioned bluntly, as she really had no filter.

[Deleted]

Shred couldn't help but grin at the other cat's cheerful attitude. He offered her a friendly smile before replying to her, "Well, it's nice to meet you, Arwen," The white cat continued, "My name's Shred," He then turned his head around to look at his shortened and battered tail, most of the fur from it gone.

"Oh, it happened when I was a kit," He paused, "A fox attacked me and my littermates, but our parents scared it off... That's also what happened to my ear," The young cat couldn't help but sigh. His tail didn't cause him any problems, but his ear made hearing a little more difficult than it used to be.

[Deleted]

" Its nice to meet you too, Shred." She copied his formality in a silly tone, confused why he talked so...Adult-ish. She stared at his tail, not thinking about how it may seem rude. She hoped he wasn't named after it, that would just be cruel.

" A fox huh? I fought one of those once." She boasted, flexing her claws in front of her face cockily. " I mean, it was just a pup... But still! I gave it some scars it wont ever forget." She grinned, swatting at the air to show him.

[Deleted]

Shred frowned slightly. Arwen had fought a fox too? That was awful. Foxes in general just gave him the creeps, not even because of what happened. Just their weird long noses and their skinny bodies and large ears. They were like a cat wolf hybrid and he didn't like the thought of one of those one bit.

"Can I see the scars?" He asked curiously, tilting his head to the left, which made his ear flop in a weird position, turning it half inside-out. The young tom stood up slowly, looking at Arwen. He wasn't much taller than her, as he too was a pretty small cat.

[Deleted]

" Sure!" She smiled, unfazed by the whole situation. Foxes scared her half to death, but Shred didn't need to know that. She watched him stand, glad he wasn't much bigger than her. It was rare she met a cat that wasn't at least a head taller, and it was nice for a change.

She lifted her head slightly, placing her paw on her neck to move the fur back. Although it had healed nicely, the long dark scar still remained. If it had gone much deeper she was sure it would have killed her, pup or not. She then moved the fur away along her chest, revealing a few more. " Its didn't scar up very cool, but here they are." She shrugged, moving back to her original spot.

-Short cos I'm on mobile-

Shred moved his head back into its upright position, flicking it once to get his ear back in place before purring, eyes widening as he looked at the deep scar on her neck, "Well I'm glad you didn't die. You're the first cat I've met here and you seem pretty cool," He purred, moving to look at her other scars.

He slowly moved forwards and booked one with his pink nose.

[Deleted]

Arwen beamed, grinning from ear to ear. " The first cat? How new are you?" She questioned in surprise, her yellow eyes gleaming. She was glad she wasn't the fresh meat around here.

Arwen snickered as he poked one with his nose, sliding her tail over his sniffer in an attempt to make him sneeze. " I have lots more scars where that came from." She grinned, showing him a few more along her flank before sitting down . " What about you? Any more hidden battle wounds?" She moved closer curiously, her head slightly tilted.

[Deleted]

Shred purred, "Not been here long, this is my first moon," He replied, sneezing when Arwen's tail brushed against his pink nose. He then cast his yellow eyes to the rest of the scars which were on Arwen's flank.

He shook his head, "Nah, only my ear and tail are scarred." He smiled, looking at his shortened tail.

[Deleted]

" Oh, cool!" She stated enthusiastically, sitting down ungracefully on her haunches. She followed his gaze once again to his tail, tilting her head. She was surprised when he said he didn't have any other scars. " That's too bad. I mean, not that I would want you to be in extra pain just to get some wicked scars, not saying that all scars are wicked... I mean, I guess its a good thing you didn't have a lot of fights, or, maybe not considering then you don't have as much fighting experience. That is unless you-" Arwen cut herself short, flattening her ears in embarrassment. " Sorry, I tend to ramble."

[Deleted]

Shred laughed as Arwen began to ramble, "S'alright, I barely heard most of it," He chuckled, eyes moving upwards to see his floppy ear, that had moved and gotten caught in a weird position, preventing him from being able to hear through it.

"Besides, I'm sure I could get used to it."

[Deleted]

Arwen smiled, feeling the embarrassment vanish as quick as it came. "I hope so, I wouldn't want to annoy you too much." She dropped onto her stomach, rolling over on her back and letting her tongue loll out. "So, do you like to play fight?" She questioned, a challenge gleaming in her eyes.

[Deleted]

Shred shook his head, "Nah, you're not annoying at all," He grinned, stretching a little as he swayed his scarred tail. He laughed when Arwen rolled over on her back and stuck her tongue out. He nodded with a loud purr, "Course I do, who doesn't?" He continued, "How about we one v one?" He suggested.

[Deleted]

Arwen was mildly surprised when he insisted she wasn't annoying, though it definitely made her happy. She bounced back onto his paws at his suggestion, crouching to the ground, her tail waving around wildly. "Alright, but I'm warning you, I'm tougher then I look." She grinned, allowing him to make the first move.

[Deleted]

shred grinned as he crouched down into an attack position laughing at arwen's statement, "sure you are," he said with a sarcastic tone, although it was, of course, playful. he continued to wave his short tail around and quickly whipped his head backwards so that his ear would flop backwards and not get in the way of his eyesight. afterwards, he made the first move and whacked his paws forwards at arwen's face.
