Shrikepaw
she/her - 9 moons

Oh, whoopsies, Leechscar heard that. She didn't mean he wans't fun, he's just... Um... Errr..... A little serious. But, he was her brother, nonetheless! And being her brother made him fun. "You're not not fun! Just, er, more friends equals more fun!" She chirped, covering up her comment as best she could. The last part of his response confused her, though... A stick in the mud? What did that mean? Leechscar was clearly not a stick, and WindClan's clearing wasn't a very muddy place, plus she'd never seen Leechscar play in mud. Not once! "Of course you're not a stick in some mud, you're a cat, on some grass silly!" she tilted her head in genuine confusion, having never heard the idiom before. Maybe it was a kind of joke? Perhaps Leechscar was more fun than she'd realised, what with all his silly words and weird sayings. Then Rookpaw mentioned a fight, and her attention entirely shifted. Shrikepaw's fur stood on end - that would be exciting. Ma better let her stay, if there was one! She needed to showcase her new Crowtooth skills and impress her.

The barn was huge (to Shrikepaw at least) and they caught sight of it long before they arrived at their destination. Birchfawn went to sit near Twilightstar, but Shrikepaw stayed by her sister and brother, as instructed. They were getting closer and closer now, when - don't move. What was it? Her eyes darted about from her frozen still head, trying to get a glimpse of what was happening. A strange looking creature approached ma, and suddenly all Shrikepaw wanted to do was dash in and rip it to pieces. What was it doing, pestering her mum? Didn't it have any manners?Was it after a fight? It needed to back off. Stat. But, nothing bad happened. All it did was sniff. Then, Twilightstar announced it to be a friendly dog. So that's what a dog looked like. She didn't like it very much. Still, the thing investigated the patrol. Like the walls of the barn itself, she stiffened as it sniffed her. Why would anyone do that? Quite frankly, it was rude. Weird. What a weird animal. Ma let out a call, and two cats arrived.

So, the creature's name was Lassie. It didn't seem like a Lassie. Seemed more like a weirdie-mcweird-face to her. Speaking of, another weirdie-mcweird-face appeared on top of the barn. Though, this one was a cat. He was calling this their home, but didn't he know?! This had been WindClan territory for... Well, since before she was born! Maybe even before mum had been born. Our home, yeah right. Maybe Shrikepaw should make a random den in ShadowClan territory and see how that goes. She held her tongue, the absolute urge to start causing a fuss making her absolutely brim with energy - like a spring ready to go off. Still, her tail was swaying intensely, a clear giveaway to her mental state.
