nails for breakfast -- private

[Deleted]

The sun had not been up long when Harley came into view of a massive tree. The morning dew still clung to the grasses and leaves, the air still crisp. 

After a few moments of analyzing the tree to find it empty, she gracefully lept onto the tree; climbing high. The branch she'd settled on gave her a pretty view of the Canyon, and also some of the clan territories. 

Time passed slowly, the moon completely gone and the suns heat intensifying. The breeze no longer cool but warm.

It was peaceful, for once. Her past days had been full of meeting other cats, and traveling all across the vast expanse of these territories. It was short, though, as a new scent filled the air, and she let her gaze follow it.

The day was clear and warm, even though the sun had just risen. Newt padded along in the grass, tail held high. His brown tabby pelt gleamed with fresh dew, but he didn't seem to notice. His spirits were too high to be brought down this morning.

Newt hummed a small tune to himself as he padded quietly, but not silently. He was half hunting for breakfast, and half enjoying himself. Besides, if he didn't catch a mouse this morning, he could go with eating a few berries. Like all cats, he enjoyed meat, but didn't always eat it. He would enjoy a few fresh berries just as much as he would enjoy fresh kill. Plus, you didn't have to hunt berries down, you just had to learn which were poisonous, and which weren't.

But his joyful moment was temporarily broken when an entirely different scent hit his nose, one of a different cat. He traced it easily to a tree, and stood under it, looking up. He wasn't stupid enough to call out, since he had no idea what kind of cat was up in the tree. So instead, he backed away from he truck and tried to spot the cat through the leaves.

She spotted a tom near the foot of the tree, who quickly tried to hide himself under the leaves. She slinked down to a lower branch, which gave her a better view of the brown tabby tom. "I don't bite," she yelled down, stretching her back across the branch and leaning far over. It seemed as if she was to fall head first into the ground, but she really was just a talented, flexible cat.

Newt stared at the cat above him as she angled herself in an odd position. "Who are you?" he asked, genuinely curious. He took a step forward and cocked his head. He hadn't met many cats, but he certainly hadn't met any that acted like her. He wondered if he could do what she did... it occurred to him that he most likely could not.

[Deleted]

"It depends." Harley had various Alias's. She thought of all of them carefully, having to choose one sooner than later. "Harleen Quinzel." It was a stretch, but the she-cat liked the way it sounded, more so than 'Harley Quinn.' 

She twisted so all her body was flat on the branch, crossing one paw over the other. "Will I be the only one giving information?"

Newt nodded his head, returning her information with information of his own. He assumed she was wondering what his name was, so he introduced himself. "I'm Newton Scamandar, but I mostly go by Newt." His wide, blue eyes watched her carefully, taking in every detail.

Newt sat down at the bottom of the tree. His neck started to cramp, but he could deal with it. "Miss Quinzel, do you live around here?"

[Deleted]

"It's a pleasure, Newt." The male had an aura of superiority, making Harley feel naked under his gaze. He surely couldn't have come from here, yet the different possibilities of his origins enticed her. 

She tilted her head to the side, not letting his mystery distract her. "You're not a clanner; why are you so close to their territories? They're unpredictable creatures." Harley ignored the fact she was being hypocritical, as she neither was from the clans.

The answer to Miss Quinzel's question was a difficult one, and Newt found that he didn't really want to tell her. She had avoided his question, but he wasn't that find of cat. He tended to answer every reasonable question, until he was busy or rushed. At the moment, he was neither.

"I like to study their ways. They behave strangely... it's different from what I'm used to." Newt didn't mean to call the cats strange, just different in the ways they live their lives.

(( tanks! have you seen the movie? ))

[Deleted]

"I live wherever the wind takes me." She answered, sliding down the tree. When hitting the floor, she wrapped her long orange tail around her light paws. Harley had a million questions, she always did, nothing could be unanswered. (Umm okay? <<) Yet she'd save them for another day, she didn't want to give off the vibe of a nosey cat. "You study things. What is it exactly that you are used to, Newt? And what types of things do you study?" Harley asked, confused. That confirmed he wasn't from here. 

((Sucky post like always -- is it that new fantastic beasts movie? I haven't seen it yet- but I'm planning to.))

Newt watched her slide down the tree, and when she landed, he could get a closer look at her. Through the tree, it had been hard to watch her.

"I study animals, strange animals, and figure out ways to help them," Newt answered.

(( yes its that movie. its great ))

[Deleted]

"You figure out a way ta' help me, yet?" Harley giggled. She stood and walked over to Newt. Circling him, her tail rubbing against his face. "I need lots of it." She whispered as she paused behind him, leaning in close to his ear.

Newt watched her with his blue eyes. He thought her odd, but shook the thought off. "I don't study us," he explained. "Other animals..." He trailed off. Other animals indeed...

[Deleted]

Harley frowned, but backed away from him nonetheless. When she was a respectable distance awya, she contined. "Sounds boring... but interesting! Tell me, what are some of your recent discoveries, or the most spec-tac-u-lar?" The feline asked, stretching out the last word.

Newt didn't hesitate to tell her, knowing he would probably have to make her forget this meeting anyway. It was lonely, what he did, and he wished he didn't always have to erase everyone's minds, but it's how it has to be. So he mentally shrugged and continued through his thoughts. "I did find a large bird who wad a long way from his home. I'm going to return him where he belongs once I get there, but at the moment I don't think I'm anywhere close to where he belongs."

Newt turned from her to look out along the canyon. They were sitting at the highest point, and about the only point that had soft grass. All the rest of the canyon is dry and rocky, not allowing for much plant life. He wondered if Frank would like it here.

(( I'm sorry I recycled Newt. I loved him, but he wasn't getting any action, and I thought Asphyx would get more. If you want, I can make a thread between Harley and Asphynx. I'll probably make Newt again later ))
