Lightfoot noticed the fox and quickly tried to get in it's path as it lept for Adalia. Unable to do that he decided to crush the fox. He was very large for his age, and often used this to his advantage. "Are you okay Adalia?" He asked his voice showing with worry as he came down on the fox.

"Just dandy." She growled as the fox knocked her off, landing on her side, but she quickly regained her footing. The last thing she ever wanted from others was sympathy or worry. Growing up, all she got was sympathy because of her size, and she simply was fed up with it, and grew annoyed when others asked 'Are you okay?' all the time in fights. With a yowl, she raked her claws across the fox's muzzle, scoring across it's nose, making it take a step back and shake it's head, whimpering and splattering blood on the ground.

Lightfoot only nodded and turned his full attention back to the fox. For the most part Adalia seemed to be doing fine, so he would watch and only jump in if he was needed. From watching warriors in his clan fight, he understood the pride some held for not wanting to be helped. His mind couldn't help but wander, hoping that none of his clan were drawn by the scent of the fox.

Adalia noticed Lightfoot seemed to back off, and was partially happy, but slightly worried that his thoughts would drift a tad too far. Because of her thinking this, the fox saw and took advantage of the few seconds Adalia didn't have her full attention on the fox. The canine raised a paw and brought it down on the she-cat's head, knocking her off her paws and landing several tail-lengths away, all with ease because of her size. [/color][/blockquote]

Lightfoot's attention quickly snapped back to Adalia and the fox. 'She'll think I think she's weak, if I help.' He said to himself then argued back. 'But if I don't do something, that's against the warrior code.' Shaking his head he launched himself into the fox's side. "Get out of Rageclan territory!" He snarled at the fox, though he was sure it wouldn't understand.

Adalia staggered to her feet and shook her head, regaining herself quickly. She glanced at Lightfoot, hoping he saw that she thanked him silenty through the glance, and launched herself also at the fox, sinking her teeth into it's shoulder as it growled in response to Lightfoot's snarl. Finally realizing it wouldn't win this battle, it shook the two off and scampered away towards AshClan territory. Adalia checked herself quickly, and she had some minor wounds that she could live with. Her head was pounding, though. She tried to ignore it as she walked over to Lightfoot. "T-Thanks for not abandoning me just now. Since I'm not in your Clan, you could've easily left me with the fox..." She trailed, not exactly used to thanking others, but felt she had to.

ooc- I hope you guys don't mind if I join in...I can always delete this post ^^;
bic- A bright form padded silently through the undergrowth with surprising stealth, considering her bright pelt. Her mind was filled with thoughts of spring, for she was a rather lighthearted cat for a Rageclanner. But yet, silent as a shadow, she drifted along. She came to a slow, and unhurried stop when she caught scents that interrupted the tranquility of the scene.
Blood, fox, and loner. Her fur prickled with unease as she crept forward, smart enough to know that even in a situation that may endanger her clan, she still had to keep a smart wit about her. That was what she'd come to learn, being a medicine cat apprentice for the past few weeks. Peering through a thin screen of bracken, she spotted a loner and a warrior of her clan. Catching the loner's last words, she judged that whatever Lightfoot had just done had been rather noble, and not in the least traitorous.
Deciding that she would help the two with their wounds, she revealed her position by placing a stark white paw into the open, following smoothly by her snowy pelt. Her bright green eyes watched the two with a kind gaze, one that didn't accuse, but was strongly curious. She noticed the blood on the ground, and one sharp sniff revealed it to be from both a fox and from these two cats. "What happened?" Stormpaw asked, realizing that she might have startled these two cats. [/color][/center]

ooc;; I don't mind you joining in :]
ic;; Adalia's piercing icy blues snapped over to the newcomer. If she was startled by her entrance, then she masked it well. "A fox came and attacked us." Adalia answered simply, being honest. She looked over the other RageClanner, and thought she is probably an apprentice, looking at how closely the two were, in size relation. "I'm going to take a guess and say you're in RageClan as well? [/color][/blockquote]

Lightfoot only dipped his head, slightly embarrassed and nodded. "It's the way of the warrior code to help all those in need, no matter where they come from." He stated and looked up as Stormpaw entered. At first he was afraid she would acuse him of being a traitor, but calmed when she didn't speak of it. "That's Stormpaw, she's an apprenitce of Rageclan. Stormpaw this is Adalia, she's a loner." He said not wanting to go into more detail. He found no need to tell about the fox attack considering any cat could smell it and the fact that Adalia had already spoke of it.

Stormpaw nodded and meowed, "Pleased to meet you Adalia. Regardless of the fact that you're on Rageclan territory, you helped chase away a big threat. Foxes are known to prey upon young cats for pleasure and not food, so I thank you." Most cats weren't quite sure why she was so friendly, but maybe it was because she knew she was perfectly safe whereever she went, and she would be more so once her training was complete.
She circled around both of the cats, looking at them carefully. They seemed to be in pretty good shape, except for a few tiny scratches from rolling around. The only treatable wound, it seemed, were three slashmarks near Adalia's temple, where the fox's blunt claws had scraped downwards. She approached the loner, sniffing her face. Then she drew back and stated, "Well, you two got lucky. You don't have any serious damage, but those scraches on your face could get a nasty infection. Who knows where a fox puts their claws?"
Without another word, she turned and went off into the undergrowth, sniffing around for the golden plants she needed. Finding what she needed, she plucked some petals from a goldenrod plant, and carried them in her mouth until she spotted the low-growing yellow flowers of marigold. She snatched up some petals from this plant as well, and chewed them as she approached the loner. Looking to Lightfoot, she meowed with difficulty through a mouthful of petals. "Lightfoot, coub you get me a leaf to put dis on?" [/color][/center]

Lightfoot nodded and with one last look over to Adalia he headed off towards where he knew he could get some leaves. 'At least it was just Stormpaw.' He thought to himself with relief. 'I don't know how I would explain this to anyone else in the clan. Especially Shadowtail and Deathbringer.' He couldn't help but shiver at the mention of the brothers' names.

Adalia sat on her haunches, curious as to what Stormpaw had in her mouth. "What's that?" She asked, referring to the petals she chewed. Adalia was never one to know many useful herbs or remedies, having been able to live low after her brother's sudden departure.

ooc- it's okay. I experience that an awful lot too
bic- As Lightfoot returned with a leaf, she spit out the herbs onto it. "Marigold, to prevent infection, and goldenrod to help heal your wound faster. It's also pretty soothing, the goldenrod I mean." Picking up the leaf in her mouth, she walked up to the loner. "Mind if I apply it to those scratches?" She asked, eager to use her newly learned skills. [/color][/center]

{(Even though I didn't say my charater had returned, it's okay this time.)}
Lightfoot walked over to Adalia's side, and sat alitte ways off from the two she-cats. "Do you not know of med. cats?" He questioned. Even though he knew loners lived differently than Clan cats, he'd always assumed there were a few loners out there that knew the herbs.

"Go right ahead, Stormpaw." Adalia nodded to the apprentice and looked over at Lightfoot. "No, and I'm obviously not very knowledgeable when it comes to herbs. My brother knew a lot of them, but I never asked him about them." She explained. After her brother left, she knew there were things she should've asked about, but it was too late to change what happened. [/color][/blockquote]
