Far, Far Away

"I heard sumbody call my name," Grimykit announced, prancing forward. "Well, dontcha worry, I'z here now. And them Clanner group got 'bout a couple paw's worth a toes in count, or somethin'. Now wait, wuz this, Beetlepaw? You got yerself some more rebels? Hey, and Frozenheart, too!"

The white tom wrinkled his nose. He didn't know Grimykit was part of this.

[jacque]

"More than us," Mottledpaw grumbled. "And then there's the two insane ones who think about escape. There is no way we can escape." She shook her tortoiseshell head in mock sadness.

She focused her green eyes on Grimykit. "So your the infamous Grimykit. And what'd you call white? Frozenheart?" Mottledpaw looked at Frozenheart. "The name suits you."

[moddy]

"Oh, Grimykit, we were so worried, but now that you're here now... Well, the thought makes me so happy," the tabby said with mock-relief. By now, the tom should know that she was lying, since she had already tricked him once, but she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know that.

"And yeah! Found some more cats who feel the same way that we do about the Clanners. Isn't that great?" She nodded, truly happy this time. She blinked then, looking back and forth between Grimykit and Frozenheart. "You two know each other?"

Beetlepaw huffed when she heard that Frozenheart's name really wasn't 'Whitey'. She knew that all along, but she definitely hadn't known his real name. "I like Whitey better," she huffed again.

"Hi Grimykit!" Rainstripe meowed cheerfully. She was actually glad to see the obnoxious cat, seeing as the first time she'd seen him, he wasn't being obnoxious to her, but to some other cat. "How do you know Fronzenheart?" she meowed, using the white tom's real name now that she knew it.

"How does I know him? Ya kiddin' me? Ain't a day goes by he an' his Clannin' sister don't - "

Frozenheart hissed.

"...eheh, well, Woodstripe uses his name 'nough fer cats ta learn it. An' we've spent us a lotta time togetha, ain't we, buddy?" Grimykit nudged him with his shoulder. When the white tom responded with nothing but a glare, the tabby strutted over to Mottledpaw. "An' what does we got here? Hey, pretty kitty, how'd you like ta get ta know the infamous Grimykit?"

[jacque]

Mottledpaw hissed. "The only part of me getting to know you better will be my claws, buster!" She eyed him and unsheathed her claws, ready to strike should he try anything.

[moddy]

"Mottledpaw, don't start a fight with your fellow members, 'kay?" She looked over at the she-cat and then glared at Grimykit. "And you, Grimykit, shouldn't bug other cats. So don't."

Her gaze was brought to Frozenheart and she was quite confused by what Grimykit had said. "Your sister's a Clanner? Really? Why didn't you say so before?" She paused after saying this, though, and shook her head. "Oh, yeah, I forgot. You don't talk. Silly me," she snorted.

[jacque]

Mottledpaw rounded on Beetlepaw. "I can fight my own battles, thank-you very much!" She snarled. "And of course he can't talk! Would you even try to talk if you sounded like this?"

Following that statement, she started to talk like a cross between an animal that was trying to learn catspeak and a dying cat.

[Ten]

Grimykit took a reluctant step back. "Alrigh', alrigh', take it easy, sheesh. Jus' bein' friendly is all."

Frozenheart gave a solemn nod in response to Beetlepaw's first question, but the tabby stepped between them, shouting, "What? 'His sister's a Clanner'? Didja hear wha' I jus' said? His sister is Woodstripe! She's the Clanniest Clanner of all Clannin' Clanhood! Some cats would feel bad fer Frozey 'cuz he's deaf, but I feel bad fer him 'cuz he's related to her."

Frozenheart cuffed the tom on the ear. He was getting tired of this subject.

[moddy]

"Mottledpaw," the tabby said calmly, "what I am saying is that it wouldn't be good if you two ended up wounding each other; we need you guys for the Rebellion and it will be hard to keep it together if fights keep breaking out upon us," she explained. "Although, if you must, I suggest only leaving a scratch on him or ignoring him." He tailed flicked in Grimykit's direction.

"...I don't know what you're saying," Beetlepaw blinked. "Sorry if that displeases you, but I am quite confused. And be quiet, Grimykit. Not meaning to be rude, but someone's got a big mouth." She snorted.

"Woodstripe?" She blinked a few times before nodding, a smile on her face. "That's good, then! So, I'm assuming that you might know the way she thinks? Have an idea of what she'll do next?"
