Her paws made no sound as she stalked her prey with skill, eyes never leaving the rabbit. Thankfully, there was no breeze to give her away.
She pounced.
A snap of a twig alerted the rodent beforehand, though, and it skidded away to safety as she landed on the spot it once stood. Adalia stood upright and lashed out at the ground, dirt sent aside. That was the fourth piece of prey she missed today, having gone all day without a scrap of meat or a lap of water. She looked around and parted her jaw, trying to figure out who ruined her meal.

A smile widened across the maw of a muscular silver femme. She was hidden in the shadows, her pale green optics the only visible aspect. She stepped from the shadows, revealing herself to the one she had come to recognize as Adalia. Neptune stepped around the other femme in a circle, tail tip flicking curiously. 'Having bad luck, I see?' She crooned, her voice mocking, yet not at the same time. Neptune was a peculiar one. [/blockquote][/color] |

The smaller and younger of the pair narrowed her icey blues, relaxing a bit when she realized it was only Neptune. "Nothing you should be worried about." Adalia replied, not letting the other cat out of her sight. Though they crossed each other briefly before, one shouldn't let their guard down so easily. [/blockquote][/color] |

The twig that had snapped hadn't, however, been from Neptune. A wiry brown tom sat in the middle of a clump of bracken, peering out of the curling green fronds to look upon the two. His amber eyes were narrowed, not in malice but from habit. His tail lashed angrily as he silently scolded himself for making himself known. Luckily, the other she-cat had been there, and she'd given up her position. But nonetheless, he felt like a frightened kit, hiding from another loner.
Melting from the cool shades of the forest during midday, he stood now in sight of the others. His large paws kneaded the decayed leaves beneath him, and he stood there with stiff legs, looking quite regal. "There's more prey to go around, now that it's spring. Nobody should worry about missing a catch or two." His long, golden fur was clumped and knotted in the places he couldn't easily reach with his tongue, revealing that he wasn't often in another cat's company. [/color][/blockquote] |

'Nothing I should be worried about?' Neptune sneered. 'But of course. What you lose would surely end up to be mine.' The feline smiled wickedly. Audits flicked backwards suddenly at the sound of another voice, that of a tom. Liquid green orbs flicked over toward the newcomer. Sight of a tom, brown pelted and wiry, came to her eyes. The feline shifted away from both Adalia and the so-far unnamed tom-cat so as to sit comfortably, but see both at the same time. One could never be to cautious. [/size] |

Rex's ears twitched as he recognized the way Neptune placed herself in the clearing. It was how he himself sat when around others, feeling often awkward in their presence. He remained standing, feeling quite the same way Neptune did: wary. Living the life of a rogue had impounded that in his head. That other cats in the forest were not friends, and allies at the most. Only in those groups of frolicking fools called the clans did cats live together in 'perfect harmony'.
Because of this mind set, Rex was not offended in the least by this greeting. In fact, he was lucky not to have been clawed to pieces by these strangers. He stood, eyeing both of them with the look of a mouse peering out of it's safe nest, waiting to dash out and snatch up an acorn. Licking his lips with a dry pink tongue to moisten them for speech, he meowed in his normal, slow tone, "I'm Rex. What might the names of you ladies be?" [/color][/blockquote] |

Rex's seeming upfront attitude, impressioned upon Neptune by his choice of words, made the feline want to snarl loudly at him. But rather than resort to her violent ways, Neptune merely twisted her maw into what she hoped was a smile. Yet it felt more like a sneer. Muscular shoulders, rather large for a feline, flexed beneath silky silver fur as Neptune prodded the ground beneath her massive paws, churning the earth into a fine silt. 'Rex, is it? Huh.' Was all the silver femme muttered, her voice tinted with faint traces of hostility. [/size] |

Looking at the she-cat, who was clearly retraining a fair amount of hostility, Rex couldn't help but smile a little...well maybe it was a smirk. "Yes I am." He meowed tersely, realizing that she was weaving her way around giving him an answer. No matter, he'd probably never see either of them again anyways, the way he always cooped himself up in his nest. Sitting, he couldn't think of much to say at the moment so he just looked at them with his large amber eyes, which tended to make some cats a bit uneasy. However, his gaze was mild, and not as intense as usual. It had been dulled in the recently nicer weather, for the discomfort of his long shaggy fur put him in a foul mood in the heat. It was like placing a lizard in the sun: it made him more alert, but yet he appeared to be sleeping under his half-hooded eyelids. [/color][/center] |
