Equinox glanced up at the moon. It was time to move. abandoning his previous den Equinox set out to find a new one. Equinox had done this ever since he had been a kit. At that point it had been for safety, many bigger animals would make light work of a young kit alone, but now Equinox moved because he didn't like being predictable and other cats finding him. Equinox sniffed at an abandoned badger den. He went in side and poked around experimentally. It was to close to his old den so he left it and stalked through the Forrest, searching for a suitable den to spend the next moon in.

Come on, let's go! The teasing thought raced through the undersized tom's head. He had managed to ditch his partners, for now. He spotted a little cat and began to move silently toward him. He was sniffing at everything, so Bleak had to be careful. He decided to make himself know, and caught up to the cat. The golden tabby slid up beside the cat and looked over at him. He didn't do anything, just walked at his side. "What are you doing way out here? Isn't it dangerous to be out here alone?" Bleak shouldn't say anything about being alone; he was at the moment. Bleak turned his almost unblinking stare to the cat. Ugh... Am I ever going to find a cat that is at least the same size as me? With my voice and size, he probably thinks I'm a kit! It was true that Bleak was small, and his mew was higher than what it should be. But this cat looked older than him, so that changed a few things. But everyone looked older than Bleak...

Scratch ran after Bleak, trying to catch up. All of a sudden he tumbled over and landed on his left paw. "Owch." He looked at his paw that had been fine seconds ago. It was now covered in blood and hurt like hell. "Damnit." He got up and started towards Bleak again, more slowly. He spotted Bleak up ahead and started hobbling faster. When he caught up he meowed, "Hey Bleak, can we rest for a minute? I hurt my paw." Without waiting for an answer, he sat down and started licking the blood off of his paw.

Equinox glanced at the cat that had appeared beside him. The cat was small and had an annoying voice Equinox opened his mouth to answer the cats question when another cat appeared. Equinox growled What is this, a party? He complained good naturedly. He stopped and examined the other cat that was there. There's cobwebs on that tree Equinox said helpfully. He turned back to the first cat. So your Bleak he said. I'm Equinox, and who's your friend? Equinox looked at bleak, the cat may look young but Equinox knew that even the youngest cats could be a formidable enemy when pushed.

Bleak doubled over and laughed. "Oh, you hurt your paw!" Bleak shook his head and walked over to Scratch. Taking a quick look at the appendage, everything checked out fine. "You're okay, you just ripped open your pad. If you're going to chase me, you gotta be careful." The little cat licked Scratch's paws once and turned to look at Equinox. "Yeah, I'm Bleak. This is Scratch; my clumsy stalker." Bleak grinned jokingly at the black tom. Scuffling away before he could get swatted, Bleak got a few cobwebs from the tree that Equinox was talking about. He brought them over and began to wrap up the cut paw. "Swing at me and you'll regret it, Scratch..."

Equinox's ears twitched in amusement, they seemed like good friends, which was rare in this Forrest. Equinox was glad to see that Bleak had accepted his help with the cobwebs, it was good to know that some cats around here still listened to sense. I do not lie when I say that I'm sincerely pleased to meet you. Equinox said. To many cats think they can just attack me and get away with it Equinox grinned at the cats. honestly he said It gets rather annoying after a while.

Scratch was sad that Bleak had claimed him to be his stalker and not mate. I guess he's too embarrassed to admit it. He sighed internally. "Yeah, I'm Scratch. And I won't hit you unless you piss me off. You know that Bleak." He was kinda mad at Bleak too.

Bleak looked over his shoulder after he had finished wrapping Scratch's paw. "Why would I attack you? Look at how much bigger you are than me! I like to fight, but I have some sense in me..." Bleak made it sound like the last thing he wanted was a fight, but he hadn't in so long, he couldn't help itching for a battle. He sized up the tom cat. He looked strong, but Bleak couldn't tell. He didn't want to step too far with this one until he knew what he was up for. Maybe he's weak... You could easily attack him. And Scratch is here in case you need backup, the deep voice in the tom's head chimed. It made sense, but Bleak knew that Scratch wouldn't want to fight with a hurt paw. Some other time...

Equinox smiled slightly. Size doesn't matter he said look at you, i'm pretty sure you'd put up a good fight and your tiny He laughed to himself, it was a compliment and a insult at the same time! Equinox sat down and licked a paw thoughtfully. So what brings you into this part of the forrest? I haven't seen you before.

Bleak flattened his ears at the tiny comment, but said nothing about it. The tom knew that he was tiny. There was no denying it. Bleak finally decided to reply a few silent moments after the tom had spoken. "I was just trying to roam a little on my own. And you mustn't have been around here for very long; I was here just last moon. We don't exactly have a home to stay, but I think we've settled on a cave down by Battle River." Bleak, in the process of his talking, had moved and was sitting side by side with Scratch, just close enough for their pelts to brush. Memories like fresh wounds were in the little cat's mind. That was where the two toms had met. That was where their lives had changed.
OOC:: Beechstar is gone, so she can't reply...

Equinox nodded I move around alot he said. Equinox indicated the badger den with his tail. I looking for a new place to stay this moon. Equinox cocked his head, noticing how close the two cats were. It wasn't his buisness, but Equinox was a very straitforward kind of cat and couldn't help himself when there was a puzzle to be discovered. His Mother had once told him that "curiosity killed the cat" Equinox's fur rose slightly at the memory of his mother so he pushed it back and said, rather abruptly, to the two cats Are you gay? Equinox hardly expected an answer but their reactions would tell him anyway.

Bleak stiffened and flattened his ears to his head. This cat was observant; Bleak hated it. "Well, watchful, aren't you?" the little cat growled softly. "That's going to get you killed one day." Today! the deep voice yowled. No... Bleak dug his claws into the soil to stop himself from charging and grabbing the cat's throat in his strong jaws. The little cat took a deep breath to calm down. "Yeah, we are," he meowed. "Scratch is my mate. Got a problem with it? We can easily settle that..." Bleak twitched his tail.

Equinox smiled slightly, his usual reaction when something alarmed him. Act like nothing bothered him and the problem would usualy go away. Or provoke the other into attacking. Equinox didn't really want a fight so he blinked at the angry cat. Why so defensive? he asked. It doesn't bother me if your gay. It's not my buisness, I was just wondering, so calm down little cat, I don't want a fight as I warrent you are much stronger then you look. Equinox smiled again, it was another twisted compliment.

Scratch listened as the two toms talked. When the subject came about him and Bleak being gay he almost responded, but Bleak beat him too it. He asked Equinox if he had a problem with it and he said no. "That's a wise choice. Me and Bleak make a deadly team." He turned and smiled at Bleak. "Even if my paw is injured we could still probably kill you. We wouldn't though, since we know that you don't care."
OOC: Sorry I kinda babbled at the end. I needed a little bit longer post.

OOC: LOL thats okay. I'm always babling
IC: Equinox couldn't help being a bit intimidated. He embraced the feeling and let it slide by without even raising a fur. no one ever seemed to get it when he explained why he never got angry with other, the fact was that he did, he just got over it. Equinox smiled. it's not that I don't care, those are the wrong choice of words, it just doesn't bother me who you like. Besides it's not like i'd say anything else with you two glaring at me, I quite like living Equinox purred in amusement.
