Russetpaw
New. And big. Somehow even though they had been to the camp before, Indigo - now Russetpaw - still looked around in wonder. There were quite a few cats here already, and though they knew the only way to truly start settling in was to talk to others, anxiety nipped at their paws. They didn't know anyone here - well, that wasn't true. They knew two cats; but both of them were likely busy and the last thing the newly joined RiverClan apprentice wanted to be was a bother. But they knew at some point they would have to perhaps explain themselves, and why they had darted out so soon after arriving.

The thought alone sent a shiver down their spine.

Lingering on such thoughts would get her nowhere though, so for now Russetpaw decided to take a seat near the wall of the camp, distracting herself by grooming her pelt. The spot on her shoulder where it had turned into a nasty scar from her last encounter with the fox before this one still ached every once in awhile, but she did her best to not think about it. Soon enough she fell into a rhythm of tongue strokes, softening her fur to lie flat. She was open to someone coming to talk to her, but with the way her heart beat heavily against her chest she knew it would be futile to try and initiate any conversation right now.

[ open to 1 other for a short, light-hearted introduction roleplay! background: russetpaw, formerly indigo, has been inside camp before; they returned with gingerfrost and blizzardwind's body back in late march (about a moon and a half ago) before promptly leaving, so if you'd like your cat to recognize them, you're welcome to if they were in camp during that time! ]
