OOC: Wait I looked back a few pages in the 'Lantern Waste' and Sterling was following Flower before... Does that count as him 'signing out from that thread or no?:confused:
 
OOC: I just saw that. It counts in my book, so Sterling is fine.

Marianne will need to post out if she decides to follow...and be prepared to explain it.
 
OOC: I deleted my earlier post concerning Sterling and Marriane being introduced.;)

IC: Flower sighed, glad to be alone with her own kind for awhile.

"So Sterling, what do you like to do? What are your hobbies and such I mean." she said, "I like hunting, until Mid left, an ocasional play-fight and..." she smiled and pounced playfully on the young cat, claws sheathed.
 
The kitten gives the human a once over, hiding his disgust very well. He really does not want to be near this. . Marriane, not in the slightest bit. He holds his tongue however, and merely nods to the girl. He’s amused by the irritation obviously coursing through Flower, and can’t help but be impressed. She obviously wants to be alone with him a bit, and perhaps he can use that for something.

“Flower? Is something wrong?” he asks, shifting closer to the other cat. He shoots Marriane a glare, it’s reason obvious. She made the only person he really trusts annoyed.


OOC:Marriane isn't here... yet. She has to sign out of the Lantern Waste thread first to come here, so the kittens are alone.;)

And Flower has decided to playfully attack Sterling.:p:D
 
:Sterling:

He smiles, his eyes glittering playfully. He hasn’t been able to be a kitten it what seems like forever, since he and Argent had to step into the adult role to keep all four of the kittens alive. He rolls her over, claiming dominance in their game with a roguish grin. “I like to play fight too. I used to play with my brothers all the time before...” he trails off, and playfully nips at her, not actually hurting her.

“You think your any good?”
 
*Flower*

Smiling Flower is also being a kitten for the first time in ages.

Laughing as Sterling rolls her on her back she says,

"Look out little cat whatch out for my feet!" she said and playfully and gently pushed him off using her front and back feet. Sending Sterling rolling off her.

Still laughing she says, "Alright enough. I don't want to re-open a wound I have." she said "I put something on it but for now lets stop before it begins to hurt again... Or out of pain I may injure you on acident."

"So where do you live? I'm from the Waste you see."
 
:Sterling:

He shakes his head, still smiling. “You can’t start something and call it off because you’re going to lose,” but his smile doesn’t falter much and it’s not serious. He frowns however hearing she’s hurt. While it’s true that she’s only hurt because she was silly enough to fight his queen, he would rather she didn’t have to get hurt and would just see the light. “Hurt? Are you okay?”

He hesitates, knowing he can’t say where he lives now. “I used to live near the empty Cair Paravel, actually. It was so pretty there,”
 
*Flower*

Flower nods, "Yeah I'm fine, nothing I won't recover from." she states.

"Cair Paravel. Really? I've never been there. What was it like? Did you get to go into the castle itself?" she asks eagerly.
 
:Sterling:

Sterling nods excitedly, almost seeming to come alive as he talks about his old home, and his old life. “Mama didn’t want us too, but we did anyway. It was so beautiful, so wonderful, you would have loved it. My brothers and I used to sneak in there and pretend we lived there, that the King or Queen used us for important messages,” he admits. “I loved it.”

He pauses, turning the table on her. “But what about you? Did you like living here in the Waste? I mean everyone says their home is boring, so that doesn’t count,” he teases. “What are your siblings like? Or is that a sore subject?” he adds quickly.
 
*Flower*

"Naw, I still dunno if my family's all gone or not. I like living here alright but I want to have adventures....Well I suppose adventure has found me on its own." she said smiling, "I do want to see other places, south is Archenland, East is Cair Pavavel, and north is... North is danger. North is /her/ house." hissed Flower.

Turning to the rest of the question, keeping only a bit of her caution she says, "Well Mid is my best friend, he is black and protective, loyal and would do anything to protect me and the others. Susa is my sister also black,very kind. Mars is shy but kind and he can fight if need be, he has a marble coat. Zippy is... Fast very very fast, still with a marble coat. He's like a tom version of me. He's a ferocoius fighter if his family's involved."

"Me, I'm defiant, thats what everyone who knows me would probably tell ya. Well my sibblings would..." she concludes, still only telling Sterling her sibblings nick-names.

'If some of the trees are on her side... I won't risk it.' she thought.

He nods, taking the information in carefully, it’s important to know who her siblings are, and their personality types. If they can not be saved, it’s best to keep them away from Flower. Of course, she did say that she’s defiant and probably stubborn. Maybe once her mind is made up, it would be that much easier.

“Ar’ was a great thinker, even at our age. He was always trying to keep me out of trouble. He looked out for us, he always felt responsible. Sil’ was really mischievous, you had to watch out for him so he didn’t get himself into some huge trouble, all the time. And Kle...was innocent, really. He was the youngest.” He uses his siblings nicknames, or failing that, shortens their names, so that he’s not exactly lying to her. Never lie unless absolutely necessary, because it helps your case later. And while his siblings weren’t gone, they weren’t like that anymore. Not really.

He smiles and nuzzles her hesitantly, trying to see if she trusts him fully or how much yet. “So can I ask you why you’re traveling with a fox and a wolf? They aren’t creatures we can trust usually.”
 
*Flower*

Flower alows him to nuzzle her.

'Its been a long time since I felt someone do that.' she thought, then made up her mind.

"My friends the wolf and the fox have proved trustworthy companions. "

She puts a kind friendly look about her, almost motherly.

Right, like you can trust a deserter, he thinks nastily. He can’t understand why anyone would desert the Queen, since she’s what can keep you safe. And surviving, is everything, isn’t it? He doesn’t let anything he’s thinking show on his face though, he’s too good an actor for that. He shrugs. “If you say so I guess.”

He pounces on her playfully again, being very careful of her wound. He smiles brightly, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Don’t you miss being with other cats though? I mean traveling with a wolf...aren’t you afraid she’ll eat you or something?” he asks, truly curious. Neither he nor Argent were afraid of the wolves, although they haven’t met too many. But it is true, wolves can not be trusted, and they can eat them. “And aren’t foxes out for their own gain?”
 
*Flower*

Rolling on top of the smaller cat Flower said, "If you'd like you can come with us. You'll see they'd never hurt me or you."

She thought a moment.

"I-I miss my family. Especially Midnight. We were always the closest..." Suddenly she stands, letting go of Sterling, and looks to the distance.

"Midnight, oh Midnight, where are ye now?" she whispers into the eve.
 
:Stering:

Sterling shrugs, trying to quell his discomfort. He doesn’t like being beneath anyone, even Argent, and he trusts him more than anything. It makes him feel vulnerable, something he never wants. “I guess I could come,” he says softly. “If you promise that they won’t hurt me.”

He stands as she rolls off of him, watching her. “I have an idea, since Midnight isn’t here, how I’ll protect you? Not that you need protecting or anything, but it’s good to know that someone has your back. Someone you can trust.” He smiles shyly, almost like he’s hoping she’ll say yes but expecting a no. Like he might be getting a crush on her.
 
*Flower*

"Of course they won't hurt you!" exclaims Flower, coming out of her trance.

Smiling she says "Midnight wanted me to be protected. I got into more trouble than ever though. If I could I'd reverse it all but... But now I have a chance to have some of my wrongs be righted... Alright Sterling, I say yes." smirking suddenly she added, "But I'm hard to look out for. And in return I'll whatch out for you, alright?"
 
He shrugs again, not really phased by her surprised outburst. “Mama said never trust wolves and foxes, because they’ll trick you as soon as they find it in their best interest. And I wouldn’t want you hurt because of them.” The last part is true, he doesn’t want her hurt and on the wrong side of things because the deserting wolf and tricky fox did something to her. He really does want to keep her safe, put her on the right side, with the Queen. But that will take time, it would always take time.

He smiles and nods. “We can keep each other safe then,” he laughed, one would almost call it a giggle. “Us against the world.”
