"Hey, jus' calm down, now. I promise, we're not gonna hurt you.." Tombstone tried, his voice soft and sweet-sounding as he took soft steps forward. He knew that the tom couldn't see him, and it must be terrifying, especially after one of Keiko's outbursts, so he tried to be as gentle as possible. He stopped moving forward and sat in the damp dead leaves beneath his paws, "I won' even come near ya, ya can fin'e me all on yer own, I won' even move. Ya can run if ya like, but I'm not here ta hurt ya, or force ya into anythin', awright, kit?" He murmured, just loud enough for only the tom to hear. Tombstone wanted to help the poor tom, but with the state of him, it didn't seem like he'd want help from them any time soon.

Keiko listened from the other side of the house, not getting much but soft mumbles of Tombstone's voice. She hated to have another cat here, because every time they'd accepted them inside their home, they stole from them or died, sometimes both, and Keiko hated trusting strangers, anyhow. The Syndicate had taught her that much. So, she held her breath and listened closely. For now, it was just awkward silence. The sounds of bugs and the wind seemed to have stopped moving, eager to here what would happen, too.

The only thing Talon could hear was mumbling. Gathering all his confidence, he asked "Can you speak louder, I can't hear you" in the least rudest voice possible

Jungle walked in the old twolegs den. She looked around shaking her tortishell fur. Stepping lightly as she could she heard voices.

The old tom gave a quiet sigh of relief when the cat spoke, "I was jus' sayin' that we ain't gon' hurt ya. We only wanna help ya. Are ya lost? Are ya hurt? I've noticed you can't see, do ya need an escort? Keiko an' I know this place, inside an' out, like the backs of our paws." He answered, lifting himself up gingerly and taking a few steps towards the tom.

Keiko was just about ready to strangle the elder. Why does he always do this? Every time some cat comes in, he tries to help them, even if they don't need it! Countless cats have turned him down. If a cat needs help, they'll ask for it. That simple. That stupid tom was too nice for his own good..

"Um. er sorry" Talon replied, relieved that the other cat was nice. "I'm sorry for intruding... is this your territory?" He asked, but instantly regretting the words, OF COURSE THIS IS HIS TERRITORY!

Jungle made her way to a door. Pushing it she saw three cats. She smiled,"Hello?"

Talon got frightened again as a new cat entered his senses. This time, he was not going to back down. He blocked out all his senses, hoping that none will attack in his healing state. He fell to the side as if he was taking a quick nap, and his eyes turned darker. He needed to get his senses back at all cost

"It's alright, our territory is open for all," He said with a warm smile, which soon disappeared as he heard another cat enter the scene, "Oh, why, hello! What brings ya here?" He asked politely, in an attempt to calm the tom down again, seeing his reaction the a new cat.

Keiko groaned as she heard a new cat enter. Leaving her place, then taking it next to Tombstone, trying not to look like she might murder a certain old tom. She kept her stature friendly, but her face said otherwise as she sized up the new cat, tasting the air. Both smelled like any other loner or kittypet, or even a rogue. Not a trace of Syndicate or Clan on them, which was a good sign.

"Why don' we all jus' calm down and have a chat, awright?" Tombstone suggested. It was getting colder, and darker out, and it was real dangerous for any cat to travel alone at night, no matter how strong, he knew that much. Even if he'd get a claw to the face from Keiko, he knew that she knew they couldn't just shoo these cats away at this time of day.

Jungle walk right up to the old tom with a smile,"I was just seeing if there were any cats here. Can I stay? My paws are aching for rest."

Talon is still healing....
(to other cats, talon looks like he died)
