Back to Square One!

[moddy]

There was something else in the tabby's steps now. The way she walked, the way she held herself up higher than she normally would. Most cats wouldn't notice it, but there was more pride in her now. Even though it hadn't been long since her little Rebellion had formed, it had only taken a few minutes for her ego to rise to a higher level.

It's not that she hadn't been a prideful cat before; no, she had been one. She had had a lot of pride in the way she chose to display her thoughts about a clan. But now... Now, she seemed to have a bit too much pride. A swelled head.

The Rebellion had been mostly her idea, after all. Why wouldn't she take pride in that? She didn't see a reason why not. So she did. Maybe she should've took it down a notch, but she wasn't going to. No way.

She turned a bit to see if the other she-cat was following her and, not caring if the cat had or not, she glanced away to look in front of her again. Maybe there were more cats this way, more cats who hadn't went off to see what the commotion with the fake fight was.

Either way, if there was, they would certainly be drawn to what she was about to say now. Well, some of them would be, anyways. Some of them might just ignore what she had to say, but, she didn't care. Finally, she stopped walking and plopped herself down on the ground firmly.

"Heeeeey! Any 'cons' out here?! Huh?" She mewed rather loudly, trying to get the attention of any passing cats out here, "If so, I think you should get your little anti-clan butts out here and say something, unless you're all cowards! Huh, I bet that's true! All cons are cowards!" She chanted with a smirk on her face. She didn't mean it, but, if it got attention, it was worth saying.

"You hear that?! All cons are cowards!"

Frozenheart swiped a white paw at Beetlepaw's head in a soft bat, reprimanding her crass methods and declaring his presence. Whatever she was trying to get attention for, she now had his. The tom smiled. He was under the impression that he wouldn't have been her first choice.

[moddy]

"What--?" She didn't bother finishing the exclamation as she was hit. Who had hit her? She had to know that before anything. She looked in all directions and her gaze finally settled on a white tom. Him again?

"Hey, hey!" She protested. "Did you follow me all the way here? What for? I thought you were going to go away once I explained stuff to you," she said, a whiny tone to her voice. Sure, he hadn't said that he would leave her alone if she explained, but she had decided that herself. He didn't seem to talk, anyways, so how could he disagree?

"Anyways, I still don't understand wh-" she stopped short as soon as she noticed his expression again. "Heeey! You just hit me and you're gonna smile about that? It's not funny! That hurts, you know!" She scowled, attempting to launch a hit at him, as well, with her forepaw. She wasn't trying to hurt him; no, she just wanted to get him back for that hit.

[Ten]

He accepted the repayment, closing his eyes and drawing his head back as a reflex. Then he lowered into a crouch. His tail swished behind him, stirring up dust. He was pretending to be insulted. Frozenheart wouldn't mind a little play-fight with her, since she didn't seem to be getting to the point any time soon.

[moddy]

"Oh?" She questioned, dropping into a crouch of her own. "You wanna fight? Bring it! I'll take you down any day!" She narrowed her eyes and hissed, but only for effect. She hadn't had fun like this in a while. Why wouldn't she want to do this?

But then she huffed and stood straight again. What was she doing? She was supposed to be recruiting, but, instead, she was acting like a kit! No, she didn't have time for that right now. ...maybe later, but not right now.

"I don't have time for this," she said finally, voicing her thoughts. She huffed again and turned around, before plopping herself back on the ground. She had to wait for other cats to come and, if they didn't come soon, she prepared herself for another announcement in her head.

[Ten]

What's this? Beetlepaw was trying to act mature?

Frozenheart wasn't just surprised. He was disappointed. The white tom stood and rubbed against her with an affectionate purr. Then he looked at her, tilting his head. She had wanted cats to come - why wasn't he good enough for her?

[moddy]

ooc.
"Beetlepaw was trying to act mature?" <--- pffft. xDDD

bic.
She batted at him once with her paw before turning away again. "You're a distraction," she explained, not caring if he wanted to know that or not. "I need new cats to show up. You know, one's that aren't already with my little Rebellion..." she trailed off, thinking.

Then she looked over at him with a questioning look, "...you are with the Rebellion, right? I explained everything to you, after all. That's the only way you can return the favor; by joining. And you have to return the favor. You absolutely haaaaave to." She nodded.

[Ten]

Frozenheart gave her a cold look, as if unconvinced that he should bother, thought in reality only teasing her. She didn't care about him, so why help her out? He cast a glance at his sister and the experiment cats for good measure.

[moddy]

She frowned at the look. Was that a 'yes' or 'no'? If she wasn't so dense, she would probably be able to figure that out, but she was, after all. "Oh, come on, pleaaase?" She pleaded. Now it was her turn to beg.

She stood up and nudged him with her head, trying to seem like a helpless kit who would probably die if he didn't help her. "Pleeaaase?" She repeated, nudging him again.

[Ten]

Frozenheart smiled once more with a hoarse chuckle and a nod. He didn't know of what use he could be, but he didn't mind appeasing her. He rubbed his head back against her in return and gave her another playful bat to the head.
