Something definitely wasn’t right here. 

These strangers were claiming that raccoons had chased them, but none of the patrols had noticed any signs of raccoons over the last few days, and Stonefall would have made a note of that type of sighting. 

Spidernose, thankfully, had stepped up beside him and Stonefall was working [i]very[/i] hard to keep his tail from lashing in agitation, trying not to betray any emotion to the stranger cats, grateful that Spidernose mentioned that she hadn’t scented raccoons. 

Which didn’t mean there weren’t any. 

But...he hadn’t scented any either, and he’d just been out on patrol earlier today to make sure Fernstar’s path was safe. And so when Spidernose offered to wake Duskwing, he was about to accept her offer when the other warrior appeared, much to Stonefall’s relief. 

He listened to Duskwing, light green eyes bright and alert, ears perked up for any possible sounds of raccoons beyond the camp. 

[color=8EBDC1][b]”I’m sorry to hear that you’ve come across trouble,”[/b][/color] he meowed to the stranger cat, concerned and still unsure what to believe. [color=8EBDC1][b]”My name is Stonefall, and I am the Deputy here. I want to help you...where were the raccoons? Do you remember where you lost them?”[/b][/color] he finished carefully, trying to see if there were any distinct landmarks that would help him see if the camp was in any immediate danger, or if the stranger cats had successfully lost the raccoons. 

[i][color=8EBDC1]If there were any raccoons at all,[/color][/i] he couldn’t help but think to himself, because something about both him and Spidernose not having scented any, and none of the early patrols having encountered any, just didn’t sit quite right with him.
