Ginger

The other cats around the group must have noticed there were strangers in camp, more glares and states from not only Arrow now landing on Pale as they strode down the field, Sol skipping behind them all playing In the long grasslands, Pale still keeping on high alert concerning the whereabouts of his brother, he wasnt too worried however, Azure seemed to be playing the roll of babysitter, playing with Sol in the grass as they made their way over to the Lead of the group and her right hand cats, Lupo and Mickey. After a few more minutes of walking they arrived at the 3 cats, their backs to the field as they talked amongst themselves quietly sat upon on a large fallen tree.

Fallen cleared her throat gaining the cats attention, they all turned in unison to face the small she bellow. Fallen dipped her head in respect to the 3 cats before opening her maw to speak.

"Evening Ginger, Mickey, Lupo" The small she nodded to the 3 large cats on the tree with a respect filled smile.

"Fallen" The large ginger tabby in the middle dipped her head in greeting, the other 2 copying her act as she did so. "What is it you wish to talk to us about?" Ginger asked curiously as she caught the wiff of the strange new scents of Pale and the Kit. The large brown Tom to her right narrowing his eyes, his claws bearing into the wood bellow on alert prepared to attack if needs be.

" These travellers have lost their way" Oak spoke up padding to the front of the group, his sister watching him, listening carefully making sure he didn't say anything stupid as she continued to play with the kit. "Their home and family were killed and destroyed by rabid dogs" Oak continued, his tone serious as he spoke up to the 3 cats above.

"I see" The ginger tabby mumbled pondering for a moment getting lost in thought.

"You can't seriously be thinking about this" Arrow meowed, a slight hint of frustration tinting his deep tone as he narrowed his dark blue and green eyes up at Ginger before turning to the massive grey Tom to her left. "Lupo talk some sense into her for gods sake" Arrow pleaded, he meant well but his tone was getting disrespectful to the lead.

Lupo hissed as he narrowed his eyes to Arrow rising to his paws and hopping down in front of him, finally opening his maw to talk just a small distance from Arrows face, Fallen watched carefully her muscles tensing, her younger brother was stupid but she wouldn't watch someone scrap with him, especially someone of Lupos size. "Watch your tongue fleabag" Lupo spat. "Your talking to your lead" Arrows ears pinned back and his tail swayed slightly behind him before dipping his head and backing down. Lupo watched him back away until he was satisfied before leaping back up next to Ginger rubbing her in the side of the face with his cheek gently sitting down looking back at the cats bellow.

"I have made up my mind, gather the cats into the middle I will share it with the group as a whole" Ginger rose to her paws her tail flicking before leaping down onto the grass walking towards the middle of the field, closely followed by Mickey and Lupo.

"She's going to get us killed one day, her kindness is a weakness-" Arrow hissed and spat before being interrupted by a whack round the head by his sister. "Ow?" He'd narrow his eyes over to them all. Oak rolled his eyes before nudging his own sister, Azure, over to the middle of the field with him, Pale and Sol following with them.

"Respect, learn to keep your maw shut or you'll loose a limb or two from Lupo" Fallen mumbled over to Arrow before padding after the others, catching up quite quick, she was a nimble little cat. Arrow hated that fact, he could never win at tag as a child, the memory made him give a breif laugh to himself before padding after her slowly.
