[color=00BFFF][i]Does that mean he wants to know more about me?. . .[/i][/color] She tried to stifle a purr as she asked casually while opening her jaws to taste the air, [color=00BFFF][b]"And what is there to know about you, Cloudstep? I would like to pick your brain."[/b][/color] Although she didn't know very much about the quiet tom, she had been intrigued by his thoughtful nature and somehow had a feeling he was very kind. Maybe they could share a piece of prey later. In the time she had been with MistClan, Riversong hadn't had very much contact with cats from the other Clans; but she was eager and curious as usual. Even though she knew it was against the Warrior code to trespass, she couldn't help wanting to explore the caves she had heard so much about on DuskClan's territory. Exploring new territory was always able to scratch the itch of her curiosity. [color=00BFFF][i]Maybe a night patrol would soon be necessary. . .[/i][/color] As they neared the territory close to the border, Riversong made her way to a clump of ferns and marked it with her scent. As she padded towards a small tree a few fox lengths away, she heard the sound of pawsteps approaching and stopped facing the border. She waved her tail in Cloudspet's direction and beckoned Haileye to stand behind her. Over the top of the shallow hill, a orange and black tortoiseshell she-cat stopped and eyed the MistClan patrol warily.[/center] [center] Riversong lifted her tail, raised her muzzle and spoke. [color=00BFFF][b]"Hi, I don't believe we've met. I'm Riversong, and this is Cloudstep and Haileye"[/b][/color] she meowed as she gestured towards the others in her patrol. The small she-cat nodded at them curtly, and Riversong thought it was odd that the she-cat was out on a patrol alone. Didn't DuskClan send warriors out on patrol together? She pressed on, curiosity driving her words. [color=00BFFF][b]"May I ask your name?"[/b][/color] The DuskClan cat stopped in her paw tracks and flicked her tail in a combination of irritation and amusement before replying smoothly, [color=FF8C00][b]"You MistClan cats sure are friendly. You'd think we were kits meeting at our first gathering for StarClan's sake. Petalwhisper; I'm DuskClan's deputy. And I was just returning to camp."[/b][/color] The deputy turned tail and trotted over the hill and disappeared from view. Riversong glanced at Cloudstep, flicking her tail in amusement and letting out a chuckle. [color=00BFFF][b]"I hope they're not [i]all[/i] like that![/b][/color][/center]
