[center] The skinny black tom folded his ears back against his head and crouched low to the ground to lick one of his paws which was bleeding slightly. He tried to force the spooked look out of his eyes, even though it wasn't genuine. This tom Stonefall was clearly the only authority figure present in camp right now, and if he wanted to put the other two Warrior she-cats at ease, he needed to be submissive, and instruct the rest of his patrol to do the same. Angling his head back towards his companions he hissed, [color=FFA500][b]"Show some respect would you?! These cats are trying to help us and we're in [i]their[/i] camp!"[/b][/color] The other two battered cats crouched down for a couple heartbeats to show submission, slowly rose to their paws then sat and began to lick their wounds. The black tom rose to his paws and sat down a few tail lengths away from Stonefall. [color=FFA500][b]"I'm sorry for the slow reply. We're all still on high alert obviously."[/b][/color] He dipped his head politely then swung it in the direction of the other two cats. [color=FFA500][b]"This is Heather and Otis. They're close friends of mine and have been for a while."[/b][/color] Then turning back towards the Warriors, he said casually, [color=FFA500][b]"My name is Felix. We came from the Twoleg village way past your territory. We didn't know we had trespassed into any cat's territory, and to be honest, we didn't think any cat could survive out here!"[/b][/color] Widening his gaze to include the other two Warriors he deepened his tone and in a more serious voice began to elaborate about the "racoons." [color=FFA500][b]"We encountered the racoons outside your territory I assume. That would explain why you never scented them and why you never would have encountered them. They could be anywhere now though."[/b][/color] Letting his head drop slightly he muttered dejectedly, [color=FFA500][b]"We're sorry we led them into your territory unknowingly. Of course if they come anywhere near your camp we will help you fight them off. I think out of the three of us Otis took most of the damage."[/b][/color][/center]
[center] Otis spoke up, [color=A0522D][b]"There weren't that many but they were big. I don't think I've ever seen racoons that big, or up close at that. I saw them running away from Twoleg's dens sometimes looking for scraps but I'd never fought one before now."[/b][/color] He huffed and laid down seeming to want to give his paws a rest. Heather was sat back on her haunches tilting and tipping her head watching the other two she-cat Warriors with a curious glint in her eyes. Felix couldn't help but notice how soft her fur looked, even scraped up and ruffled. He allowed his gaze to soften as he glanced in her direction. After a heartbeat he addressed Stonefall again. [color=FFA500][b]"Are you three the only cats here? This seems like more space than three cats need."[/b][/color] He needed to know how many others there were here. Where was their medicine cat? And that calico she-cat he had seen earlier? Were there any other Warriors? Stonefall said he needed answers, well so did he.[/center]
