chasing wind [ private rc border post ]

@Spider.

Following the whim of an adventuresome spirit that morning, Ceri bounds down a hill without regard for anything but living freely. The air pumping through his lungs burned fiercely, but stars was it good! Every deep heaving breath raked its fiery claws through the calico's throat and chest, gutting him over and over again. His limbs screamed, utterly repulsed by the forced exercise he'd been putting himself through since sunrise. But Ceri's eyes, oh his eyes were like blazing stars of molten gold! And his maw split wide in a grin that was augmented by the heavy panting he was doing. To fly through the world like he was born with wings on his back! To be free! To...!

A boulder- No, a rock- But truly, a pebble of all things... A pebble it is, the villain to bring this cat's soul-searing sprint to an end.

The scene unfolds before Ceri as though the world were suddenly caught a time-warping slow down. Pebble kiss toe. Toe crunch down. Claw catch bean. Bean go ow! Leg fold at elbow. Chin hit ground. Shoulder wrench. Back shoot up. Hind-quarters-over-head. Rogue flip over. Skid to stop. Scene One End.

Ceri lets out a loud groan as he lies there quite still for the first time in ages. Screwing his eyes shut, the tom lets the woes of life wash over him. Pain... His entire leg was in pain! And his poor, beautiful chin! Oh no, he was probably hideously filthy now! Scrabbling his three useful legs in the air, the cat begins to move to flip himself right-side-up, pushing to a standing stance and staring at the ground for a heartbeat. Well, well, well...

Snapping his head up, he looks around and scowls. Where the living Hell was he? Tail sweeping side to side, the calico begins to limp off in some direction, barely noting the scent of foul, sun-baked fish and swampy air that washes over him.

PlumShade had walked along outside of the camp alone like she often did the warrior didn't mind being alone much but she also didn't mind company the day was okay it was cloudy as the sun came and go quickly maybe a storm would brew within the clouds or maybe a light rain she signed walking down a dirt path as she heard something fall and tumble down followed by a groan her fur prickled slightly as her ears turned up sharply locating the sound, she sniffed the fishy air smelling a unfamiliar scent one not of any clan most likely a loner or rouge she moved into the shadows creeping forward at the sound she hunkered her round body in a bush low to the ground, the warrior saw a cat on the ground I seemed as if they hurt their leg she watched them hope up limping slightly as the loner started to turn away PlumShade spoke her voice loud and firm " Hey! she called out stepping out of her hiding spot she stood with a strong poster the warrior spoke again " This is riverclan territory Im going to have to ask you to leave " she ordered the brown loner if the cat decided to attack she would be ready if not she wished they would leave peacefully

This was supid. This whole... Solo parade party celebration of nothing was stupid! Ceri stomps his three good paws and his one very not good paw across the soggy territory, fuming. He would have gone back to pick that pebble up, had he remembered where it was. He'd have picked it up and hurled it as far as one cat could... Hurl anything, really. Which to a cat was probably far enough- But we, we know otherwise. Anyway, the rogue was pouty about getting himself into a bad situation. And bad situations had a tendency to get worse if one wasn't careful.

The slender rogue takes no notice- absolutely none- of the warrior who hid in the brush nearby. Not until it was too late, and the wheels of fate turned against him, as they tended to do for fun. Freezing in his tracks at the cat's proclamation of land and ownership, Ceri lifts a sharpening gaze to Plumshade and narrows his eyes. Who was this, and why did she think she was in a position to tell him where he dare not tread?! The tom does not slow, and instead quite happily works to shrink the distance between himself and this Clan cat. A grin splits his lips, and throwing his head back, he laughs boisterously. "No one tells me where I go or can't go," Ceri crows. The calico's eyes glint as he lowers his head back down- Ducking, really, and inspecting Plumshade rather closely. "I'm free to go where I please, thank you. I suggest you let me, pretty thing."

plumshade was to say the least unamused sure she was just a warrior and this place was just a temporary camp, it was still her and her clans camp no matter why or where the round warrior stepped a bit closer swaying her tail behind her slightly. Her face was cased in a frown who was this idiot of a loner who tripped on a pebble she let out a hard quick breath, her fur was slightly bristled this rouge sounded like a kit 'You cant tell me to do this, You cant tell me to do that blah blah blah' it was honestly annoying a grown adult cat acting this way. the sleek warrior kept her ground before she spoke in a sharp voice " I don't give a damn This is riverclan territory kit,And as a warrior of riverclan its my job to protect this clan from kits like you. she narrowed her amber eyes when she was done speaking she purposely called the cat a kit for good reason.

PlumShade didn't plan on fighting this cat it was wasn't necessary to do so not when he wasnt a active threat to the clan only trespassing and making a fool of himself.

Ceri's eyes dance over the warrior's body, a scrutiny of her position, the state of her pelt, the position of her tail, how widespread her paws were- Every minute detail of the cat. And then that unnerving stare clicks right back into place with their eyes locking. The remnants of his earlier grin still quivered at the corners of Ceri's lips now, and he tilts his head slowly in silent question.

"Protect RiverClan from kits like me?" The rogue echoes gently, his youthful tenor voice carrying a new note of... Threat? Perhaps, though it wasn't quite so... Serious. Ceri did not appear harmful- He didn't seem quite so ready to pounce, to bite. Setting his injured paw down near Plumshade's own paw, the calico tom moves closer still, until he stands adjacent to the warrior.

His expression settles into a cold and distant smile- This cat seemed quite bountiful of apparently kind faces. It was a good thing most cats never realized they were nearly always faked. This cat, though... Perhaps she saw through it. "You're in no danger," Ceri's tone is soft, his voice little more than a murmur. "Let me have my fun, now. Hell- Join me, if you think your precious leader can handle one of their precious servants finding their own footing without them."

plumshade ears perked up high on her head before lowering down half way down she was unimressed by this cats banter. the slightly older warrior scoffed " as if you would pose much of a threat... she said followed by a low hiss her claws were still sheathed in her soft paw fur but with the hit of threat she picked up from the cats voice she was ready to use them. her face held no emotion only stone cold and serious " as if I would ever join a rouge, I've delt with them long enough she rolled her amber eyes snapping them back to the rouges " Go have your fun elsewhere not to far down is a unclaimed area, or you can try your luck with other clans." she gave him a option of places to go " there" she lifted and pointed her paw at a small two leg nest to small for any two leg to live in " just beyond that is free land to roam, and prey you scrawny thing " she said placing her paw down taking not of the thin cats body

A smile that'd lingered on the rogue's face for some time now quietly slips out of sight. Ceri's unnerving gaze darkens with disappointment. Why couldn't this cat understand the opportunity being presented to her? The gift that he was so kindly offering? A taste of freedom, of purpose without consequence. The calico male shifts the distribution of weight over his legs and sits back on his haunches. Peering at Plumshade from beneath long, feathery white lashes, he silently challenges the warrior to comment on his decision to plant himself there rather than take her generous "advice" and leave.

But would this cat turn hostile? One could never judge a book by its cover (whatever those words meant- Ceri hadn't the slightest inkling!), and although the young tom knew that well enough... He seemed to be pretty good at "callin' it". Giving himself a shake as if to shed the introspection suddenly, Ceri quirks a brow up at Plumshade. "I know how to hunt," he purrs. "And I know... For the most part, at least, where your territories are."

With a curious tilt of the head, Ceri waits for her response. Curiosity drove him to do all sorts of... Incredibly indecent things. And taunting a trained warrior happened to be one such thing. "Why don't you let loose a little bit, sweet thing? It'll do you some good..." His tone shifts, turning soft and imploring. His yellow eyes brighten with hope- This was real. He truly wanted this cat to say "screw it," and play with him. "I know how hard it is to be a big bad warrior, always so serious and loyal and dedicated and tough... Stars, I can go on and on, but you know all about what being a warrior is already. And you know how... Much...
You want to cut loose for a few minutes." The tom's lips quirk up at the corners again as he rises back to his feet, tentatively drawing even nearer to Plumshade, close enough that if the warrior did not step out of the way, he would brush his tail over her shoulder invitingly.

Plumshade sighed curling one side of her lip showing a single fang in annoyance as she stepped closer, her pale off white claws slightly poking out of her slightly lighter paws.
The warrior looked the loner up and down hissing to herself as he sat she didnt want things to get messy no she didnt even want to fight unless needed, half of the cats she knew would just go out and attack this rouge and maybe try to kill him. Yet plumshade was not one of them; she was not the nicest cat but she was more stern nonetheless. The warrior narrowed her amber eyes “ Oh? I see yet you still cross the territories? ” she asked in a half joking tone, as her eyes flashed with a playful glint. The warrior tapped her chin with her paw at the rouge's question “letting loose” . It did seem like a fun idea to relax and set free but she had a job to do for her clan “hmm… letting loose does seem fun.” she meowed watching him as he taunted her she wanted to claw his face for his tone but she kept herself calm drip,drip,drip she told herself keeping herself grounded “ Appreciate your offer dear,but yets being a big bad warrior has its downsides and purrks” the warrior meowed watching the tom rise and grow closer to her, her fur prickled down her spine as he got close not moving as his tail brushed against her shoulder, the black warrior turned around to face him again “so tell me rogue how do you cut loose then?” she asked

Heroneye
| she/her | RiverClan | Lionheart |

Heroneye emerged from the undergrowth, gazing at the pair of cats. Heroneye certainly wouldn't enjoy this; ordering cats around certainly wasn't something she'd engage in ordinarily. If the Lionhearts and high ranks could take care of it, why would she, of all cats, have to bother?

But rules were rules, and Heroneye was a Lionheart now. A RiverClan warrior--Plumshade, she recalled--and a rogue, locked in conversation. Heroneye was a bit confused as to why they hadn't seemed to be fighting, but regardless, Plumshade was violating a vital Clan rule, and it would be best to end the interaction right then, regardless of their intentions. Hopefully, the situation would dissolve itself soon after that.

"Plumshade. RiverClan warriors and apprentices are not allowed near the border unless they have permission from a high rank." RiverClan was seriously at its limit with regards to rule breaking and border conflicts. The last thing they needed was more cats running around there on their own. "Once this outsider has left our territory, I will escort you back to the Twoleg den to speak with Fadingstar." Yes, Heroneye liked that option. Fadingstar could decide what became of Plumshade--not her.

"As for you," Heroneye turned to the outsider, "you are encroaching on RiverClan territory. Please leave at once." Heroneye was hoping the rogue would leave peacefully; she hadn't been fighting Plumshade, after all.

(Hi! Jumping in here because RiverClan cats are not allowed near the border unless they have an assigned patrol and/or have HR permission; we're really trying to avoid any and all border conflicts at this time. Once Plumshade and Ceri have left, I will make a post with Heroneye in the abandoned Twoleg den, tagging @/Spider. and @/Occultation for Plumshade's punishment.)
