The wind in this part of the territory was intense, and August's short fur really wasn't made for this kind of weather, but he tried to not let the others see that it was bothering him. He turned around to face the hunting party, so that the air was carrying his voice towards them, "Lets each try to take back two or more pieces of prey, I know it's a lot but if we work together I'm sure we can catch it all before noon." he smiled friendlily to them, he knew that Williams group was mostly filled with cats who hated the clans and wanted war but he was mostly just there- hang on- why was here there again? He blinked, trying to remember but then shook it off, there was probably a good reason he joined. "We need to be quite careful, remember, technically we are trespassing. If we are approached by a cat from this area don't try to attack them unless they attack us."

August opened his mouth to try and catch a scent on the heavy winds, but he couldn't scent anything above the smell of.. Moorclan was it? Windclan? He sighed and decided to rely on his sight rather than his sense of smell. August gazed around the hills carefully, before landing on a group of avians who were just about to land on the soft grasses. He signalled with his ears to the patrol, before slowly making his way towards it, "If one of us spooks the birds the other three can each catch at least one as they try to fly away, I'll go around the side, Void was it? You and Gater can go to the other side, and.. Holly? You can come with me." he nodded to each of them before starting his approach.

[I hope this is okay. Willie, I'm just kind of guessing that Gater is joining them, if he's not please let me know and I'll edit my post accordingly.]

Holly

Nodding at the tom, she started to sneak around the birds, watching them, she inwardly hissed to herself, ugh, Holly your pelt isn't helping is it, crouching she waited for a signal to pounce

(lol nope this is fine! Gaters def here.)

Gater shook as sand seeped in between his toes. He hated this area, the sand always stuck to his pelt and made him ichy. He watched as the leader of this hunt instructed him and the others, and he observed. Then he began crouching around the grass, his brown fur not standing out nearly as much as that Holly cats. huh. Seems like some cats are just made for hunting.

The stench was nearly everywhere stinking up the moor. The huge brown and white battled scarred tom lashed his tail as he reached the three hills that stood like towering trees within WindClan's territory. At his side padded a young, petite, pretty lilac pelted she-cat with bright orange eyes. Dreamlight had joined him not long after Batglare had caught the reek of outsiders in their territory. The scent was fresh and strong, it smelt like they were more than one, and even though he refused to say anything he appreciated the backup.

The stench led him to the Windy Hills where he made out a few strangers on their territory. From the sounds of it, they were organizing some hunting patrol? Now that was very very strange, but then Batglare recalled that Twilightstar had spoken about some stranger and his kin in WindClan's territory. He forgot the rest, he hadn't been paying much attention, sleeping in the warriors' den after learning she was giving him another apprentice, that disappeared immediately!

"That's our prey, they can't steal from us! Who the hell are they?" The low growl that bubbled from the younger warrior on his right had Batglare quieting her with a sharp look.

"If you ever stopped feeling sorry for yourself and paid attention to the chatter around the camp, you'd know Twilightstar said something about rogues and some tomcat wanting our territory. Since I've never seen outsiders hunt in groups like Clan cats before, I'm going to assume they're with the stranger." Batglare told Dreamlight harshly, the younger cat hissed at him but the senior warrior paid no mind after watching the rogues for a bit longer.

"Stay silence, until I figure out what's going on." The huge tom orders while closing the fox lengths of distance between himself and the hunting rogues.

"You're not supposed to be here." Batglare shouted out to the rogues, he kept his claws sheathed and his fur flat, whereas the tiny she-cat at his side had her fur fluffed up and ears pinned back against her head. Dreamlight kept a few paws steps behind Batglare, extremely mistrustful but not really ready to test Batglare's temper so she kept her maw shut for the time being.

August gave Holly a little nod as she came up next to him, before shifting his gaze over to Gator who had gotten into position- but what in the spirits was Void doing? August flicked his ears to her to try and tell the molly to hurry up, and then he turned his head back over to Gator, never mind, the three of us can still catch a few birds, I may as well give the signal now. he was about to yowl to spook the birds when another cat shouted and did it for him, he was confused because it didn't sound like it had come from the party, his head turned around, ignoring the panic stricken birds to see who had yelled.

August's eyes stoped on two cats, one large scar ridden tom and a smaller she-cat who looked ready to bite his head off. The birds were too far up now to catch unless you could leap ridiculously high, its fine, its better to catch something else after talking to these two, I expect that neither of them are very friendly. he looked over to Holly and Gator, and flicked his tail to try and tell them to stay out of the conversation, he was unsure if he could handle doing it on his own but he didn't want either of them or Void to try and pick a fight with the two, presumably clan, cats.

As he padded to meet them he tried to make it seem like he wasn't intimidating, cause well- he wasn't. August was a shorter cat with slim shoulders and no sign of muscle or scars on him, his tiger looking pelt was really the only thing that could make him look even slightly formidable. As he approached them he got to realise the sheer size of the tom and how scary the molly looked, honestly, if the two of them were outsiders rather than clan cats William would've most likely tried to requite them both.

He took a deep breath to try and calm himself, he dipped his head respectfully to them, "Good morning," he addressed both of them, his voice was oddly kind seeing what his allegiance was to, "my apologies but I do have to ask why you think that." his eyes shifted between the two cats, he had to be careful with his words if he wanted to make it out of this chat without getting his blood strewn across the moorside.

Holly

She was waiting till August gave the signal, but then some idiot started yelling at them. The birds all flocked into the air and she gave one last desperate jump to hopefully catch one, but missed by a fox length. Hissing at the area where the yell came from she stalked up to August in a fury. Seeing as he was going for a more peaceful approach, she laid down, glaring at the two responsible cats. She mumbled to herself about how they couldn't be decent cats if they couldn't tell an attacking cat from a hunting one. She realized when she peered at them closer they had a lithe, thin build. Clan cats she hissed under her breathe. Not wanting to make it worse for August she stayed still.

Gater, noticing one of the birds hopping off on its own. It was rather large so he went to get it when somecats yowl disturbed the birds.
"I swear on the sky I will skin you, you..." Gater mumbled, turning around to see that it wasn't the idiot Void.
"What the.."
He watched as the claners got closer, noticing the size difference between those rabbit eaters and whats his face. Just to even it out, Gater stood behind him ,gaze half intimidating Half unintrested.

A she-cat wandered through the territory before sitting down to sniff an odd plant, she wondered if it had any healing properties. she thought for a moment, debating weather or not to pick it when she noticed the scent of another cat nearby... @Quietheart

Beetleblaze

|25 Moons|

Beetleblaze was perched quietly on top of one of the three hills overlooking the moorlands. His tan fur was silhouetted by moonlight casting shadows upon the green grass below. His eyes were locked against several rabbit burrows below, hidden by the prominent orange of countless marigold flowers. He drank in the peace of the moment as the cold leafbare wind ruffled through his fur. A lean white hare was scuttled across the ground biting at the stems and petals, yanking them back towards his home inside the earth. Is he taking it back to something like a prey pile? Curiosity filled the warrior as he wished he was lean enough to drop down into the rabbits home to see for himself.

He was ripped from his thoughts as he saw the rabbits ears pop up alertly before suddenly darting into the underground for safety. Beetleblaze's own ears raised in suspicion as he simultaneously scented the air. A loner? He stood up from his position on the hillside realizing he didn't recognize the scent. His emerald eyes scanned the patch of hillside quickly before settling on a mudbrown persian who was almost invisible in the darkness of night at this distance. He couldn't tell what the cat was doing so he decided to crouch down and slink towards the trespasser. As he approached he realized it was a she-cat, and she was fiddling with the marigold. Is she trying to take healing herbs?

As he considered the possibility of simply attacking her another thought stopped him. If she was stealing them, why hadn't she taken them already. His thoughts raced with questions, but he decided not to attack in case it was one of the loners from swooping cliffs. He did not wish to start a war on mere suspicion. Instead he boosted his tall form over the flowers and called out to the unfamiliar cat. "What do you think you are doing?" His tone was calm but challenging. He did not wish to frighten her away before he got answers.

Beetleblaze

|25 Moons|

Beetleblaze softened his expression as her fear scent hit him. She was twitching as if she were about to flee, yet her face showed only surprise. The cat did not appear to hold any hostility behind her eyes, only concern. She rattled off an explanation that didn't seem previously prepared. The tan tom sat and pondered, his puffy white tipped tail still hidden low amidst the weeds. "Why do you want to be a healer? Is someone you know sick?" He tried to put aside his empathy for the moment, keeping his feelings out of his voice as he questioned her curiously. Even with his emotions guarded he could not prevent the image of his own family from passing through his head. Their weak and frail coughing bodies. That gripping, choking, helplessness which overtook him as he watched them suffer unable to offer them any comfort.

As much as he wanted, he could never forget those memories.
