Spandau sat alone, gazing at the empty clearing. There was not yet many members in his group, save for his loyal friend Noel. uncurling his tail from his paws, he pulled himself upward. Making sure to avoid Noel's den so as not to notify her he was gone, he scrambled up the steep pathway leading out of his ravine. continuing along the grassy trail, Spandau headed into the woodland.

Noel heard the tumbling of rocks and debris in the ravine, and knew instantly that her friend had left her vulnerable again. Flicking her tail in annoyance, she decided not to pursue him; probably off looking for she-cats again. Instead she turned back to the task at hand, ordering the various herbs she had gathered into neat piles ready for storage.

Spandau followed his usual path through the dense woodland, scanning for any signs of nearby cats. He felt it was vital to recruit new members soon if his group was to flourish. Padding into a clearing, he noticed a she-cat on the far side of a small body of water. her fur was shimmering in the sunlight, and he approached slowly.

spandau tilted his head to inspect the she-cat, still slowly edging toward her. "hello," he purred in a soothing voice. "i won't harm you. tell me your name?"

noel sat buck herself at the camp, pacing in irritation. It was just like Spandau to leave her with nothing to do and no idea where he'd gone.

he was now close enough to touch her if he wanted. he flicked his tail playfully and purred smoothly at her, "a lovely name. what brings you to my territory?" he paused, awaiting her reply. It was then he noticed her wounds, and stepped closer to inspect them.

sensing she was obviously on edge, he walked closer still. "don't worry about it. but those wounds look bad and i have herbs back at my camp." he was so close now, he could hear her nervous breathing. "I insist you come back with me."

he brushed his tail gently over her cheek, then whisked it away very quickly. "this way!" he turned and walked brusquely back the way he came.

Noel had climbed to the top of the ravine, and was waiting there when Spandau arrived with his female companion. she stood upright, though a less than impressive height, with her claws out and dug into the soft earth.

Spandau notice don't how uneasy the she-cat was, and reassured her that Noel was not a threat by greeting her.

"Noel, what're you doing up here?"

"looking for you." Noel was unimpressed and eyed the she-cat closely. "your latest prey?" it didn't take her long to notice the wounds on Shimmer, and stared at her with curiosity.

spandau ignored her, and instead pushed past her and padded down the steep track to camp. Noel started to follow and then turned back, calling down that she was going to find fresh herbs for Shimmer. Spandau led the young she-cat into the centre of camp. he tried to make her feel less vulnerable. "this is where my clan live. there's not many of us, and most are out hunting."

Spandau then led her into a clearing hollowed out of the high banks of the ravine. "this is the medicine den." he pawed together a large pile of moss, shaping it into a nest. "you should rest until noel returns with herbs."
