Kestreltalon's dark gray pelt blended into the rocky surroundings as she padded along the border. Her paws made not sound each time they came in contact with the rocky ground. Her blue eyes gleamed as she looked around. The sun was shining bright and its rays warmed the air. Suddenly, Kestreltalon heard another cat approaching her. She opened her maw to scent the air at the same instant her ears pricked up to listen.

Southgust made his way up the border line his fur flattened against his spine, showing he wasn't in a hostile mood. His silver pelt made him look like a shining diamond among the dark rocks he walked by. But none the less if he was still another clan could not pick him out from his Boulderclan surroundings. He senced that he wa approaching a cat and slightly parted his jaw to see who it was. 'Kestreltalon.' He confirmed in his head and relaxed. This was a fellow Clan-mate, no need for alarm. "Kestreltalon!" He called when he got close enough.

Kestreltalon relaxed as the sound of a tom calling her name reached her ears. Her blue eyes gleamed as she turned and began to walk towards the tom. "Hello Southgust." She meowed when he came into sight. "How have you been?" She asked. Although the two cats were in the same clan, Kestreltalon couldn't remember ever having a chance to talk to Southgust before. As she waited for his answer, she sat down, wrapping her long tail around her paws. The clouds shifted above the cat's heads, covering the sun slightly.

Southgust stopped when he came upon the she-cat. His eyes gleamed with their usual playfulness, but behind that was the alertness of any warrior that stood this close to the border. "I'm doing fine. I happen to be happy that my first apprentice had become a warrior. Honestly I didn't think I was a very good mentor." He said lightly and continued. "How have you been?"

"I've been pretty good." She meowed. "I can't wait until I have my first apprentice. It probably won't be for a while though seeing as we don't have any kits in the nursery right now." She seemed to look off into the distance as she said this, as if thinking about the time when she would eventually become a mentor. "I'm sure you weren't a bad mentor." She meowed, looking back up at the tom. "Your apprentice couldn't have become a warrior if you didn't teach him well."

"I'm sure we'll have some kits running around, annoying warriors, soon enough." Southgust joked. Joking was the one thing he was always doing. There had yet to be a time that he couldn't think of something to make those around him smile. "I'm sure you'll be a good mentor as well. And thanks, I guess you're right."

Kestreltalon chuckled at the thought of kits running around the camp, annoying all the warriors. She could remember how annoying she had been as a kit only about ten moons ago. "Thanks." She replied, her blue eyes gleaming from the compliment. She glanced over at the border, then back at Southgust. "Do you want to head a little deeper into the territory?" She asked. "Then maybe we can hunt a little.

Southgust nodded at the suggestion. "Yes, I think I would feel much better if I weren't so out in the open like this. Besides a little hunting would be useful, there isn't that many apprentices right now. So we all have to help out with their chores." He said his voice holding slight authority to it. "Would you like to lead, or should I?" He asked his eyes sparkling.

"You can lead." Kestreltalon meowed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Its age before beauty after all." She chuckled, looking at the tom. "But really, joking aside, you can go ahead and lead." She flicked the tip of her tail against the tom, then waited for him to decide where they were going.

"Okay then, but I must warn you. Most she-cats find me strikingly handsome." Southgust joked back as he started farther into the territory. He liked this she-cat she could joke just as good as himself and that was fun. They could become very good friends, he realized as he turned to see if she followed him.

Kestreltalon padded along just behind Southgust. "Oh really?" She asked. "Well, I guess I have to agree with them to a certain extent." She meowed, smiling. Kestreltalon was glad she had left camp alone this morning. It had given her an opportunity to talk to Southgust, an opportunity that had never arisen before. She liked having someone to joke around with for once.

"Really?" Southgust asked, more than a little suprised. But he quickly let his voice return to it's normal joking ways. "Well like I said, the she-cats just adore me. I've even caught a few from different clans watching me during Gatherings. They just can't get enough of me." He said puffin out his chest slightly. "I am of-course a hardy warrior."

Kestreltalon laughed, her maw twisting up into a smile as Southgust continued to joke around. "Wow, I always wondered why the other clans always seemed to stare at us when we came into the clearing." She meowed, her eyes gleaming. "I guess they were all just hoping to catch a glimpse of you, 'the hardy warrior'."

Southgust gave a satisfied nod, though his fur pricked with embarrassment. "But it's not all about looks. I'm an good hunter and fighter as well." He said then fell silent and flicked his tail for them to stop. Not to far ahead he saw a hawk perched on one of the ledges. Swiftly, but quietly, he made his way up until he sprang on the hawk. They both started to plummet to the ground, but he was about to twist around and land on the hawk, killing it in the process.

"I see that." Kestreltalon murmured. "That was a pretty good catch." Not to be outdone, she turned around and opened her maw slightly, letting the scents of the forest flood in. after a few seconds, she closed her mouth, her blue eyes gleaming. She scented a rabbit not too far away. She quickly pinpointed its position and started to creep towards it. The rabbit was chewing on a few blades of grass sticking up between rocks. By the time the rabbit noticed Kestreltalon, it was too late. The femme picked the rabbit up and walked back over to Southgust. "I'm not too bad at hunting either." She meowed.
