SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY The undeniably worsening crack in his pawpad shuddered when rough foot met smoothed stone, a whispered sigh of relief when searching eyes finally recognized his surroundings. Thor pulled over the last of it, fully facing the now seemingly barren land that had previously served as his home. It was all so odd, being there again and knowing that everything was under control and peaceful in SunClan, nothing he needed to fret over. Once his brother was forced to fight the giants, and hadn't returned, the rumors of his loss and banishment had echoed through the golden halls of the newly restored kingdom, cats muttering words like trickster and failure. Thor was left with either the decision to stay and pursue the crown, or to leave SunClan in safe paws and search for his brother who was most likely dead. Of course, the silver warrior ignored his friends and citizens, leaving at first light when the kingdom rested in Lady Sif and The Warriors Three's protection. His pelt suddenly itched to be soothed by warm sun, the large tom quickly padding to the nearest rock and laying across lazily; arms stretched over his head and tail curled in delight.

Asphyx padded through the seemingly barren wasteland, though she knew looks could be deceiving as she followed the path of a winding rover, finding the cool air around the water comforting compared to the dry heat and hot sun. Just to add to it, Asphyx's coat was moderately long, and so trapped heat easily, and was a fairly darker shade of brown. Sometimes she wished for a short coat, abd other times she enjoyed her longer coat, especially when it had saved her life once. In the mountains, she never would have survived without her longer, thicker, warmer coat. Now, though, she did not particularly enjoy it.
The red dust flew past her in the dry wind, wedging itself in her pelt and discolouring her fur in a sort of red tint. She found that maybe she would look better with red highlights in her coat, and she gazed at her padding reflection in the clear water below her. Her gait was slightly bouncy, more of a trot than a walk. She felt joyful this day, though she did not know why.
Then, when she saw a gray cat with jagged black stripes, laying on a rock a little ways away from her, her mood split in all sorts of directions. Of course, her first thought was, Flick, but she stopped with a sort of frown. No, he's dead. Then her thoughts continued like a train as she slowed her pace to a walk, then stopped altogether, her front feet planted next to each other. Could it be Thor? But he disappeared, and presumably dead as well. Here she really did frown, her large, brown ears flattening against her head. Maybe it's someone I don't know. That thought was both disappointing and exciting at the same time, but still her eyes trailed the dust in a very sad manner, before she finally mustered up a bright sounding voice.
"Hello, there," Asphyx called out, pasting a smile on her face as she took a step forward, her uniquely blue eyes wide with curiousity. "Do I possibly know you?" Finally, her eyes found the other's paw. It was cracked, and seemed very painful. "Oh your paw!" She exclaimed, turning around jearly instantly and looking right and left wildly. "I can help you," she called as she ran to a nearby shrub, the only suitable vegetation she could find, and ripped it clean out of its place, before racing to the river and setting the plant beside it. She ripped leaves off and gathered them in her mouth, before soaking them in the water and running back to the stranger with a mouth full of leaves. Many of them stuck out, as she wanted them to, and dripped all over the ground, but her plan was to place them on his dry, cracked paw, and hope that it made it feel better.

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY When a feminine voice clouded his thoughts, the warrior shook his head and rolled onto his stomach; eyes peering curiously at the nearing creature. However, when he realised who greeted him, the excitement in his face was clear.
The male winced slightly when he jumped to the floor, though the pain was nothing compared to the joy of seeing a familiar face. He attempted to speak, but his words were jumbled and soon cut off when he was bombarded by questions and comments, chuckling lightly to himself as the she-cat ran left and right in hopes of finding a remedy for his paw.
"Thank you," he finally spoke, sitting and placing the injured paw on a pile of soaked herbs before him, sighing contentedly when the liquid hit the dry skin.
It was a quiet few seconds, the time spent by studying her, especially the attractive red tint in her brown fur. He didn't know what to say, deciding however it would be best to remind her who he was, as she obviously didn't recognize him.
"Asphyx," his speech was slow, pronouncing each syllable of her name. "I'm not sure how to say this, but... I am Thor." He mentally cursed himself, wondering how stupid he must've looked with a hunched posture and a soaking paw. So, he straightened his back slightly, lowering his head to meet her eyes. "I've returned, here. I was never sure what to call this place, this community."
(( he's so awkward lol + i'm trying to binge watch marvel from the v beginning and !!! seb is the hottest I can't get over it, he needs to have more screentime in movies tbh he's a great actor and a friggin cutie ))

Asphyx placed the leaves on the dusty ground and he promptly jumped from his rock to the ground, placing his paw on the herds she brought. She recognized his face, but couldn't place his name. Flick and Thor continued to circle around each other in her head, until finally he gave her his name, amused. Her eyes went wide and lit up at the same time, and her ears seemed to perk. For a mere moment, there was silence as she took in this information, before he barreled him over, or at least tired to, and exclaimed excitedly, "Your back!"
But the next moment, she backed away just a bit, her expression completely different. Her eyes were sad, her ears halfway between flattened and perked, and her mouth no longer in a smile. Her brow held a small furrow. "You left, I thought you were dead. You were dead." Her voice nearly cracked on the last sentence, and she looked to the ground. WORDS: 172 TAGS: @//tags NOTES: DUDE I KNOW. Seb's the best, and I love binge watching Marvel xD

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY He was caught by surprise at the way she reacted, eyes widening when she attempted to barrel him over - without success, of course. His cheeks warmed as he looked down at the nonexistent space between them, clearing his throat nervously when she backed away; unusual blue eyes now wide with sadness.
"I had business to take care of," he said in accidental harshness, softening his voice when he realised that his tone was inappropriate for that moment. "I mean- my homeland, the one I told you about, it was in danger." Even though he was relieved at the success in rescuing SunClan, some guilt made it's way into his heart when he noticed how heavily impacted Asphyx had been.
"But I'm here now, and I won't be leaving anytime soon." He promised, offering a small grin.
(( omg and the fact that chris pratt and anna farris are divorcing... I got so depressed ))

Asphyx flattened her ears just a bit more and winced as his words came out sounding harsh, probably harsher than he intended, but then he added another sentence, and her ears perked up a little more, her eyes once again having their curious glimmer. "Did you rid it of the danger?" She asked, a small smile forming on her face.
He then went on to give her a promise, and she furrowed her brow together teasingly, returning his grin with a white smile of her own. "Good, because we don't want anyone else going off randomly. Someone might just think you happened to die, somehow." WORDS: 116 TAGS: @//tags NOTES: ooh thats sad

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY "I did." He confirmed, removing his soothed paw from the leaves; casting a wide glance around them. "It's very quiet here," His ears flattened to his head. "Not as I remember." Or maybe it just felt that way because he'd been subject to so much commotion the last few (weeks, months?), that everything here seemed quiet than he remembered.
Thor's eyes narrowed suspiciously, though in a playful way. "I'd hope not. Besides, not many cats were too fond of me anywho. I was a total conceited jerk, though I'm working on getting better." It was true, somewhat. The last time he had been here he befriended few cats, even though he still had a few of his cocky warrior prince traits. Thor still believed he hadn't shaken them off quite yet, but he was trying.
(( lol what is this confusing crap sorry ))

Asphyx's eyes widened a small bit, and her brow regained a furrow. "You were not a jerk," she told him confidently, her tone genuine. "Maybe you had a few cocky traits, but those made you who you are." Asphyx knew she sounded slightly childish, and that Thor was obviously trying to be a better man, but she'd only known him as the 'jerk' he spoke of. "When I first met you, you offered me a place to stay for the night, and I still have not returned that favour, have I?" Suddenly, she felt immensely guilty, and her face went blank.

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY His ear twitched at her words, and though he found little annoyance in what she said, he didn't speak of it. "I saw you were hurt, and so I helped you. I did what I did not expecting something in return, but expecting you to get better. Things become easier that way, really, when you apply that to everything and learn to do things in kindness and not for rewards."
(( it really is getting kinda frustrating. and i dunno if this is unpopular but, unpopular opinion; it's kinda frustrating watching marvel movies in the universe timeline instead of the date they were released, because like you'll be watching a good quality, non-rushed movie, and then it'll switch to a bad quality and seemingly rushed movie. even though I love the MCU, I feel like catfa was super rushed and it was kinda annoying ))
( also Loki looks so HOT in the trailers omg tom get it c;; )

Asphyx ran her paw along the dusty ground, and the dirt rose in the air al around them like light smoke. "I still feel like I owe you something, even if you don't want it." WORDS: 54 TAGS: @//tags NOTES: he makes me faint xD what's catfa?

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY "Don't worry about it." He mewed, subconsciously padding over to the river and lowering his head to take a few laps at the cool water. After drinking a sip, his voice echoed throughout the canyons, a question aimed towards Asphyx. "What have I missed during my disappearance?"

Asphyx's ears wouldn't perk up though, and her face still looked downcast. When he padded to the water and asked his question, his voice ringing out all around them, she turned to look at hin with a strange twinkle in her eye. "I made a friend. That's about it, I don't think you asked the right cat." WORDS: 76 TAGS: @//tags NOTES: i didn't think it seemed rushed. I loved that movie :3

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY "A friend?" He coughed, raising an eyebrow when he noticed the twinkle in her eye. After a few moments of staring at her intensely, he simply nodded and turned away. He meant to speak no more of it, but he couldn't help himself. His chin turned and he eyed her across his shoulder, keeping his voice as uninterested as possible. "What type of friend?"
(( lol someone's jealous uhM ))

Asphyx's ears finally returned to their perkyness, and a smile appeared on her face. "Thor, I barely know him. His name is Rot. He just doesn't have a lot of friends, and he might have anger issues, so I'm trying to help him out. Though, I think he can be a good cat if he tries. I know he's a good cat." Asphyx had a habit of seeing the light in all cats, no matter how dark they were. "We met once." WORDS: 91 TAGS: @//tags NOTES: oooh thor xD

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY "Right then." Was his simple reply before he headed off towards the direction of his old cave, which wasn't very far from them. He entered slowly, his breath shortening when he took it all in; the home of a careless cat that once was him.
He wasn't trying to be sentimental, however, so he moved on to the wide pool that was in the middle back of the cave, dipping in one paw after the other and eventually he was soaked to his head, dirt clouding the clear pool waters and washing out through a hole.
"I needed a soak." He murmured, half-sure that Asphyx had followed him.
