Thor was over it.

It was tiring, everything going on with his family. He also wanted to see Blue, but he couldn't find her. Something wasn't right with that, but he would find out soon enough.

Thor wasn't sure if he'd lost his mind or what, but when he scented the borders of a new clan, he ignored it and kept going on. Maybe a patrol would find him, put him out of his misery. He was useless here anyway, he was vulnerable without his full powers, gods Midgard was the worst of the realms. Stupid no-magic cats. 

He came across a huge rusty space, filled with odd relics. It looked full of dangers, nothing Thor didn't care for. 

He had climbed in, loosijng his balance at one point and tumbling down one an aisle. He hooked his claw on a chair, catching himself, as the huge shelter made a horrifying crrreeeeeaaaak. He was able to climb out, happy to be on stable land again.  

He lifted his head to the air, feeling rather hungry, when a fresh scent came to Thor. Another she-cat, he'd met so many already. He couldn't tell the age, but wasn't worried nonetheless. If he wasn't attacked, fine.  If he was, great. If he was taken prisoner, even better. That would be a great way to figure out the workings of these clan camps and find Blue. 

((Dovepaw --LoL this is EvEry WheRe SorRy))

[Dovepaw]

Dovepaw had only just become an apprentice earlier, but unsurprisingly, she was already out exploring the territory. She'd spent six moons confined in camp, she wasn't just going to wait around for her mentor to take her out on a tour when she could just leave and figure the territory out for herself.

The small she-cat navigated throughout IceClan territory with ease, her gray pelt blending into her surroundings and her small body fitting through tight spaces. Dovepaw was looking for a river, wanting to learn how to fish, but instead the gray she-cat found herself at an odd structure that she had no name for. 

Undeterred by the obstacle, Dovepaw decided to investigate the huge thing, stepping closer until the scent of a foreign cat stopped her. Her eyes narrowed, she arrogantly leaped forward, into the structure, to see who was there. 

"Ew," The six moon old growled, her nose wrinkling. "Come out, I can smell you!"

[Deleted]

"What do you mean ew?" Thor answered, almost yelling. Barely an apprentice, the cat was, almost still a kit. "Where's your parents? Mentor?" He said, the girl in full view now. These clans were so unorganized, if he had been someone else, he could've attacked the kit. 

[Dovepaw]

"You smell weird." Dovepaw explained herself, oddly unafraid or bothered by the presence of a loner in her territory. "I dunno where my mentor is, I haven't even met them yet." Her gaze flitted around lazily before settling back on the tom-cat. "Fallenstar can't be bothered to keep track of me, and mom's still stuck in the nursery." Her father hadn't even shown up at her own apprentice ceremony, and he was the clan leader.

[Deleted]

"Fallenstar?" He repeated, a faint recognition at the name structure. Back in Asgard, and the other eight realms, you usually had a one-worded name. You only took on a two-part name if it was necessary, only the Midgard cats had those two-part names. Remembering his old name, he decided to introduce himself with that, as it would probably make more since to the kit.

"Grayfang." He meowed, "You're a kit. I should take you back to your camp before you get into trouble." He said, approaching her. 

((Note he refers to her as a 'kit' more because he's got a long life span and was a kit a longer time than the forest clan kits are.))

[Dovepaw]

"I'm Dovepaw." She introduced herself out of habit, not seeing the harm in knowing one another's names. "Grayfang? Are you a clan cat?" The tom smelled like a rogue, but Dovepaw was fairly sure only clan cats took those kinds of names.

Her fur bristled upon hearing his next words and Dovepaw hissed, immediately backing up. "Don't you think I'll get in more trouble for bringing a stranger into my camp?"

[Deleted]

"Sorta-kinda." He stuttered.

"No," he started, stopping when she backed away. "I'll disguise myself in your clans scent, then I'll take you back to your camp entrance. No one will ever know you saw me, or I was on your territory." He said, smirking. 

[Dovepaw]

Dovepaw narrowed her eyes, her expression unreadable as she thought about his suggestion. She could find her own way back to camp, but bringing in a rogue in disguise was a real adventure, and if anyone found out, Fallenstar would have to show up to take care of the problem.

"What's in it for you?" Then again, this could still be some sort of convoluted trap. 

[Deleted]

"Nothing." Learning the way a camp works, the different parts of it. Maybe, anyway. 

((Short and everything happening on Thors side is weird sorryyy))

[Dovepaw]

"Well, I doubt you're doing this out of kindness." Dovepaw mewed suspiciously, turning her nose up at the loner. Even most of the clan cats she knew were selfish, there was no reason this stranger should be any different.

[Deleted]

He shrugged. "I'm sure your happy to get out of camp, guessing your age. We don't have to." Thor plopped down on the ground, licking his paw then dragging it over an ear. 

[Dovepaw]

"We?" Dovepaw echoed Grayfang's cautiously, feeling oddly fascinated by the loner. She couldn't bring herself to care that she was breaking the rules by holding a conversation with him.

[Deleted]

He smiled, "Yes, you and I. We. As i'm sure there's no one else around." Thor paused, a thoughtful expression on his face. "You know how to hunt?"

[Dovepaw]

Dovepaw rolled her eyes. "No, and my mentor's supposed to teach me.." Her mind whirled. She could impress Stormcloud by learning how to hunt and then pretending it was all natural talent, making her into a stand-out apprentice. A prodigy. 

[Deleted]

"I could teach you." Thor offered, looking at Dovepaw skeptically.
