Take a Slice [p]

-Oh lord rhyming <3-

Shred grinned as he lay in the bushes, yellow eyes watching another cat. He had never seen them before and decided to stay hidden considering he was outside of his territory. As he was 'spying' on the other cat, he couldn't help but let out a silent laugh when he saw that she was actually afraid of the mouse that he originally thought she was hunting.

He continued to watch as the unknown cat laughed at herself, laughing himself quietly, maiking the bush that he was hiding his rustle. Shred quickly stopped laughing when he saw that the other cat had heard him moving. He guessed that now would be a good time to reveal himself, considering it was known that he was there.

Smiling in an attempt to seem friendly, trying not to scare the she-cat off. Slowly, he stepped out of the bush, revealing himself and shaking his pelt, limp shredded ear flapping around as he did so. The short tom then crouched down and made his way slowly towards the other feline.

Mother was expecting a mouse.  She hoped that it wasn't and apparently her hope was enough. The cat the showed himself seemed to be friendly enough, Mother was pretty sure she saw him smile. When he crouched down however she doubted her previous assumption that he was friendly. Was that a fighting crouch? Mother smiled either way.

"Hello stranger, lovely chompers you got there. May I ask you name?" Mother asked, standing her ground as she gazed at the tom padding towards her. If he wanted a fight he would get one. Mother's grin widened slightly.

[sorry it's kind of lazy]

-Mines no better-

Shred couldn't help but chuckle a little when the other cat spoke to him. He lifted himself, straightening his legs. He was a relatively short cat, even when standing straight it seemed. He purred when she asked him for his name, replying, "The name's Shred," He paused, "You are?" He asked, swishing his scarred tail.

[Flower]

At least this cat had some sense of humour. When he stood up to what Mother assumed was his fully height she tilted her head slightly. He was quite a short one wasn't he? Mother nodded when he introduced himself anyways. Shred was a pretty easy name to remember. She squinted slightly at him and wondered if the reason he had the name was because of all the scars he had. Usually she couldn't see scars because of her bad sight, but it was pretty hard to miss his. "My name's Mother. Pleasure to make your acquaintance Shred. What brings you to this stretch of the plains?" She meowed. Her head tilted to the other side as she asked the question.

[Deleted]

Shred smiled when his acquaintance introduced themselves, "Mother? That's a unique name," He stated, twitching his nose as he got began to reply to her question, "I'm here to observe the surrounding territories around my own- might be some good hunting spots around here," He said truthfully, lifting his paw to give it a quick lick.

[Flower]

Mother nodded at his statement. She knew her name was strange and she knew not many people shared it with anything other than a female parent, but it's what her parents had called her. When he told her that he was looking at the territories around his own she glanced him over once more.

"And where might you territory be?" She asked with a grin. Perhaps he was one of the Deathclan cats that wandered in this area the odd time. He sure looked the part.

[sorry there not a lot of coding. I'm on my phone.]

-S'alright-

Shred purred in response to the question, wrapping his short tail around his paws as he sat down, "My territory is Deathclan," He stated, twitching his whiskers, "Do you live around here or do you live somewhere else, too?" He asked in response, smiling.

[Flower]

So Mother had been right. It wasn't too surprising. With his shredded ear, the name to match, and the various other scars the only thing that didn't exactly meet her expectation of Deathclan was his personality. He seemed much better than what she was expecting. She had fully expected the question to be asked to her in turn so she was ready for it with her answer. "I haven't decided where to settle down yet. I'm not a big fan of collectives such as the clans right now, so I'm not joining them, but I'd still like a more permanent den before it gets too chilly." Mother explained and then shivered theatrically as if the cold was already getting to her.

[Deleted]

Shred nodded at her reply, "Well, I hope that you find somewhere before it gets too cold," He purred, "I would let you stay temporarily with us but the folks down at Deathclan ain't too friendly," He smiled, laughing quietly when Mother gave a theatrical shiver.

[Flower]

When he explained that he'd let her stay in Deathclan if not for the unfriendly nature of some of the cats Mother laughed. "Yes from what I hear they can be quite deadly." She was only half joking with that pun. She had heard that the Deathclanners didn't have any rules against murder. "But no worries for me. I'll find a place to make myself at home sooner or later."

[Deleted]

Shred nodded, a small smirk on his face at Mother's comment, "Yeah, they'd probably eat you for breakfast," He laughed. "Good luck with that," He purred.

-Late and short-
