    [color=honeydew]How a tranquil pool of water ended up within the depths of an abandoned prison, Etherkit would never know. Great Swan Lake seemed wildly out of place when compared with the dense forest shrouding the walls that enclosed the camp. Not that she was complaining--the water was fresh, the birds were pretty, the atmosphere was sweet. And there was fish.


    "Nooo!" the munchkin cried in melodramatic despair as yet another minnow escaped her grasp with a flick of its slender, silvery body. Her belly was pressed to the edge of the lake and her front paws were dangling in the clear water. There was a lot of fish here, so how come she couldn't catch any? This was so unfair.

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][size=12px][fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 450px; margin-top: -10px;][justify][size=11px]Ruben couldn't care less about the lake, except for the fact that swan meat was actually pretty good. He hadn't tried any fish yet, and didn't plan on it either. Fish smelled bad, looked bad, and most definitely tastes bad. The male was on his way down for a drink of water when he saw Etherkit, that spitfire kid who's told him to die twice now. "Oh no, are the minnows getting away from you? Would you like some help, your majesty?" he was honestly just teasing her, but he spoke in a serious tone. The wide smirk on his face betrayed him, as well as the sparkle in his amber eyes. The canine stopped beside her, an obvious limp in his step, though he held an extreme amount of self-confidence. What a nice guy.

    [color=honeydew]Oh god, it was this guy. As soon as she recognized Ruben's voice, she swiveled around and glared daggers at his direction, noting his limp with extreme satisfaction. "Yeah, I'd like some help. How about you jump into the lake and stay in there for over five minutes," she growled, withdrawing her now-soaking paw from the lake and attempting to flick water at the canine. "Fish like worms as bait, right? Maybe they would appreciate an especially big, mutt-shaped one."

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][size=12px][fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 450px; margin-top: -10px;][justify][size=11px]Ruben grinned as she insulted him, nodding his head and giving a loud, 'mhm.' As she flicked water towards him, he lifted his head to catch them, since it was a bit warm outside and the droplets would feel nice. "You know, your majesty, I think they would like a little pipsqueak better." he shifted closer to her, but kept his eyes on his paws. "But, you might be too sour.." he aimed to give her a jostle, with intentions of pushing her into the lake. At the last moment, he would reach for her scruff, if she didn't dodge his push. He would have let her fall in, if he wasn't a hit afraid to feel her mother's wrath.

    [color=honeydew]Etherkit was about to shoot back a reply when a sudden, unexpected push almost toppled her into the lake. For a speeding moment she was in midair, just a couple nanoseconds away from hitting the water. "Ruben! What the heck!" she screeched, just as the canine hooked onto her scruff. Clambering back onto solid land, she glared once more at the canine. "You're the worst! Honestly!" She then attempted to give him a shove of her own, though he probably wouldn't even budge due to her tininess.

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][size=12px][fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 450px; margin-top: -10px;][justify][size=11px]The canine chuckled as she screeched at him, feeling his mood brightened. As she shoved him, he thought about pretending to fall backwards, but that was too much work. "You really are an idiot." he woofed, gazing across the lake for a moment. Maybe if he was more of a sentimental being he would find the landscape beautiful, but to him it was just another place. He knew that the full moon was in a few days, and that he would need to feed, which would be troublesome. He would have to leave the territory in order to find someone, since the swans and other prey just didn't fill him up. His thoughts left an awkward silence, and an expression of deep thought lay on his features. His mood changed quickly, but with a new insult he would probably be back to his slightly too rude self.

    [color=honeydew]"Die," she growled, flopping back to her original position by the lakeside though without her paws dangling in the water. Swans floated in the near distance, long, elegant necks reaching down and about. Etherkit glanced back at Ruben to see a thoughtful look settling upon his features. It was a little unsettling. Was this the stupid, idiotic, rude mutt she knew?


    "What are you doing here anyway? Did someone leave your cage open?" she jabbed, pale gold eyes flicking up at the canine.

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][size=12px][fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 450px; margin-top: -10px;][justify][size=11px]Ruben's head head tilted towards the tiny feline as she made a jab at him, having already ignored her first insult. "Hmmm..." he hummed thoughtfully for a moment, feigning deep thought. "I came from Phantomclan. What about you? I'm surprised you aren't in an insane asylum." it was a bit ironic that he was saying that, since Phantomclan had been located in one, if he remembered correctly. He knew from what Ether had said before that she came to meet her mother, something that the canine had never had. He'd had two fathers, Karma and Kuro. He wasn't sure witch one had possessed a female body, and didn't care. Family didn't mean much to him, he'd only talked to one of his fathers anyways, and not even the one that had been leading Phantomclan at the time of his birth.

    [color=honeydew]Etherkit recalled when they had first met, she had actually thought Ruben was a ghost for a split second. Not that she would ever admit that. Phantomclan sounded like a place that would suit him. "I bet it's full of losers, then. I'm- hey! What are you trying to say?!" She dipped a paw into the lake and attempted to flick cool water onto the canine again. "Anyway! My dad's a rogue, he just kinda went around getting drunk and stuff. A total deadbeat. I guess I got fed up with him and left to find my mom, who's here." Fortunately.

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][size=12px][fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 450px; margin-top: -10px;][justify][size=11px]"Why, because I left?" he asked the girl, referencing her saying that Phantomclan was probably full of losers. She once again flicked water towards him, though this time he tilted his head so that the droplets missed him. As she told her life story, he hummed thoughtfully, gazing down at his dirtied white paws. He wondered how Alice could have ended up with a deadbeat, but decided that it had probably just been an in-the-moment kind of thing. His own birth had been for the sake of an alliance, he'd been told, which was pretty lame. It probably would have been more fun to have a drunk for a dad, if he shared the drinks.

    [color=honeydew]"Because you were in it." Etherkit had to admit that being with her father had kind of been fun. Even though he was a total loser, he had something of a silver tongue and somehow he had forged connections throughout the unclaimed lands. That was how he constantly got invited to drunken parties, which she had been all too happy to tag along on. Still, it wasn't a substantial lifestyle, and as soon as she realized her father would never care for her, she wanted out.


    "So are you going to help your queen fish or what?" she growled, front paws dipping into the tranquil water once more. The past made her uncomfortable, and anyway it happened and there wasn't much to be done about it.
