Drama was mouse-brained to him, why squabble over things when you could just live in peace with some rules to follow? Almondpaw smirked as she looked distracted, perfect. "Oh no, my paw is over the boarder!" He repeated louder, his eyes glittering with mischief. She yawned, making his excited form slump a bit. She looked tired, which may make her less fun. Perhaps he should find a different target to annoy? No. This was as good as he was going too get, so why leave it because she looked sleepy? Almondpaw sighed, waiting for her to approach him with his tail lashing with annoyance. She seemed lost in thought, which meant he'd have to wait for StarClan knew how long. Almondpaw gazed at the she-cat, humming softly to himself.
Almondpaw knew she'd been drowning in thought, and he coughed to try and attract her gaze. By now, both his paws were over the scent-lines marking the boarder. He assumed she was intelligent due to the fact she hadn't gone to a more dangerous boarder. He huffed, his pacience thin as he grumbled under his breath. She gazed up, and he tensed slightly. Almondpaw rolled his eyes when she cringed, he got it, they didn't like fish! But they didn't have to insult his Clans main source of food each time they neared the boarder. He sighed as she stepped closer to the river, but not close enough to him for him to spark conversation, fight or teasing argument his wits would come in handy, along with his street smarts. Her eyes locked with Almondpaw's as he smirked, teasing her to come over to him. He saw her fur bristle, and he felt a bit guilty until he realized this was just a stupid scent-line. He wasn't going to steal prey! She paused for a moment, and Almondpaw prepared his argument against something she knew she'd probably say. "Why? I'm not stealing prey, or threatening your Clan, all I did was put my paws over your line of scent-markers." He asked, using his opinions that boarders were useless and turning it into a fact that he wasn't doing anything bad. "But I wouldn't want you to get your tail in a knot." He added, retracting his paws and dipping them into the river to clear them of ThunderClan scent. "So, what's your name?" Almondpaw asked.

Fairypaw felt her fur prickle the slightest. What was wrong with this tom? What didn't he get? The multi-colored feline found it odd about how this tom worked. He seemed to not care about the borders--which was peculiar since the borders represented limitations. They were there for a reason for no enemy to stray across. And, Riverclan was certainly the enemy. Albeit, Fairypaw was not the one to fight. She never allowed herself to, and preferred to use her words in hopes that her witty remarks would save her. Fairypaw cautiously approached the tom, but she stayed near her side of the border. She didn't allow a paw to stray across to the Riverclan border. Aside from that, they stinked! Fairypaw knew it was wrong to think such thoughts, but it was true. They stink because of the fish they hunted. It was truly disturbing to her, but Fairypaw kept her mouth shut. She wouldn't want to cause a fight.
"You're breaking the warrior code. These borders were set to keep unwanted company," she paused, looking the tom up and down.
"On their side. Haven't you learned anything from your mentor?" She threw at him, her voice remaining soft and quiet. They both would be in trouble if anyone heard them. He would be in trouble for straying around in different territories. And, she would had been in trouble for going against Snowstar's wishes; apprentices were not allowed to leave the camp unless escorted by a warrior. Truth be told, the she cat only wanted somewhere to relax. Was that too much to ask for?
"Who cares if you're not stealing prey." She tells him, her eyes narrowed, but her voice was always calm, somewhat sweet.
"You're still a Riverclan cat, and therefore should stay on Riverclan's borders. At least do it out of respect. If a warrior come by, you'd be a goner." She flicked her tail at him.
It was true. He would had been a goner. There were some pretty scary warriors that resided in Thunderclan. Of course, Fairypaw thought this. She didn't really take kindly to much larger cats. She was quite the petite feline herself, and anyone that dominanted her size--always scared her, but she had to admit that this tom was brave. Bounding over to others' borders. Certainly insane to be doing such a thing. Fairypaw knew she wouldn't do such a thing. She wasn't brave enough to cross the borders. And, if she were, she knew it would never be Riverclan's border. She did not want to smell like fish.
Ew! As the tom spoke once more, Fairypaw only rolled her eyes at his remark. She could already tell he was a trouble maker, and she did not want to be apart of that situation. Tigerpaw had been a troublemaker, and Fairypaw always decided to stay stir from trouble. She didn't like to be yelled at. When she turned her head away from the tom, swearing at him from under her breath, Fairypaw's ears perked up at upon hearing his voice. Her first initial though;
you got to be kidding me. Fairypaw didn't like sharing her name with...neighboring clans. Oh, no! That's not what a loyal warrior of Thunderclan would do, so she snapped her head back towards the tom.
"What's it to you?" She asked, a tilt of her head.
"My name will remain unknown. I don't feel comfortable sharing it." She told him, but tried to keep her voice sweet and mellow. Besides that, she didn't know his name, so why should she give her name first? It just wasn't logical to her.
