Iqhwa was rather tired at this point; he'd been travelling for several days from his last home and was now in search of a new group to reside at. You see, the frosty-tinted fox had a special love for knowledge and information, and was making it his life goal to uncover the various mysteries of the earth however he could get to it. He'd passed one or two other feline groups before reaching the ocean, but he'd grown up in similar territories and had decided that perhaps it would be best for some change of scenery. That's when he happened to stumble upon ArcadianClan's beach.

The fox stuck his snout into the air as soon as his paw pads stepped into the sand, tasting the salt in the air with the mingling scent of cats and other creatures. Company? Iqhwa grinned at the thought, always up for a chat or a laugh. With the intention of getting closer to the pier and the huts in the water nearby, the pink champagne fox flickered into his invisibility and stalked closer whilst foolishly leaving his paw prints in the dampened beach sand. This was all so interesting! The water was crystal clear and the huts themselves seemed so different to normal fox dens. Iqhwa made it his mission to get closer to these peculiar huts, whilst also strolling right into ArcadianClan camp.

Upon hearing the voices of Lacedkit and Vindicate Clemens, Iqhwa whipped himself around in surprise, bushy tail frizzing slightly. He heard the supposed calmness in the voice of the blue tabby and relaxing, letting out a good-humored chuckle as his invisibility flickered off. "Oh, hello, cats! I'm Iqhwa." Iqhwa began, frosty eyes glancing to the albino she-kitten and then to the green-eyes tomcat. "Is this your territory? Oh, I'm so sorry...I must not have realized." He gave the two a toothy grin now, hoping they would be friendly to his travelling self.

There seemed to be many felines and other creatures living on the sunny beach -- how convenient! A beautiful territory and lots of company made this social butterfly happy. "I was wondering if I could perhaps reside here in this beautiful abode of yours? I've been looking for a place to stay." He spoke with marvellous rhetoric, eyes occasionally straying off to catch glimpses of the water lapping at the shoreline.

"Thank you, Vindicate. Nice to meet you!" He gave the striped feline a hearty grin before turning to Lacedkit with those crystalline eyes of his. "And it's nice to meet you too, little cat." He had a lot of exploring to do now; he was now residing in a beautiful residence, with odd homes and shimmering water. He just couldn't wait to catch up with some of his travelling siblings and tell them all about ArcadianClan and its members. The tip of his tail twitched in excitement as Vindicate spoke again, this time about Iqhwa's pelt color.

"My coat color?" Iqhwa pointed with his snout towards his cream-shaded body. "Pink champagne, if I recall correctly." The fox had a habit of gathering all information he could, his pelt color included. "My sister Solaris looks just like me, actually. Not really sure where she is at the moment, though. Probably travelling around somewhere off in the distance." Now he was starting to ramble, enjoying the company that Vindicate was providing.

The twelve-moon-old newcomer approached slowly but surely, listening to what Lilostar was saying once she leapt onto the stage. How interesting! It seemed that these feline groups held these "meetings" and "ceremonies" to welcome the youth into the ranks of full-fledged warriors and patrons. Iqhwa, always searching for information and knowledge, made sure to make a mental note of this. He wouldn't be participating in any ceremonies or renaming, but decided to stick around just for the fun of it. After all, he did want to meet some of his fellow ArcadianClanners.

"Oh, hello little cat!" Iqhwa allowed his maw to curve into a toothy grin, feeling the calico's peppiness rub off onto him. "Nice to meet you, Vegaspaw! I'm Iqhwa, now residing here in ArcadianClan with you all." The pink champagne fox found himself stomping his paws into the beach sand as Vegaspaw whizzed this way and that, chuckling in amusement at the little feline's silly antics. He already liked everybody here so far; ArcadianClan seemed pretty welcoming to newcomers like himself. He just couldn't wait to let his siblings know about all his exploring and discovering!

Iqhwa's lively blue eyes flickered over to the blue tabby yet again, nodding his head firmly as he tomcat spoke about his own travels. "You use to travel around, too? Where did you go? What did you see?" Hungry for intellect and knowledge, the spindly fox lifted his snout in the direction of Vindicate, obviously wanting to know more about the former traveller's expeditions.

Upon hearing a multitude of unfamiliar voices barking out orders and shouting for medical attention, Iqhwa scuttled over on his tiny off-white paws. The stark scent of blood was clear in the air, and the pink champagne fox scrunched up his nose in distaste. Several others had already gathered around the injured felines, using some stringy material to prevent the bleeding, it seemed. "What happened here? Need me to get anything?" Iqhwa inquired, taking a step back to let the cats more experienced in healing deal with the injuries. This was a sad affair, but did spark the fox's interest greatly.

Iqhwa was always up for a brawl or two. He wasn't the strongest so naturally wouldn't succeed using brute or brawn, but he had the brains and stealthy tactics to perhaps catch his partner off guard. The pink champagne male stalked forward on the beach sand, eyes flickering this way and that. "Anyone want to brawl with a lil' fox here?" He spoke, words honeyed as he swished his white-tipped tail calmly. Vindicate seemed to have a partner already, so kept on searching for anybody who would be a good match for him.

Promotions? Interesting indeed.

Iqhwa tip-toed forward on his foxy paws, curious and knowledge-hungry. It seemed that the felines living in ArcadianClan had ranks, and those ranks were filled by various clan members who maintained steady activity (and would suffer from demotion if this activity faltered). The intellectual male fox made sure to note this in his mind, and then kept silent to hear if anything else was going to be said by the ArcadianClan leader.

"Thank you, little cat." Iqhwa barked to the multicolored calico in front of him. He liked her cheeriness -- she seemed to be quite similar to himself and his extroversion. "Oh, of course we can be friends." His words were honeyed and sweet, his eloquence just about perfect. The cream-hued male was quite fickle when it came to his loyalties, but he'd accept Vegaspaw's friendship request for now. He was in some dire need of company, after all. It had been a long while since he'd seen any of his many siblings.

"Hello, Lacedkit. Thank you." Iqhwa now looked towards the albino feline, noticing her stutter and the supposed timidness in her soft voice. "Are you new here too, little cat?" She still seemed like a kitten, so it wouldn't surprise him if she had been born into the clan.

"Lakes as big as seas? Human boats as tall as human buildings? Oh, that sounds really exciting. Is it really true?" Wow! It seemed like the blue tabby had gone on quite the expedition and had discovered some rather interesting things along the way. Iqhwa desired a similar lifestyle, collecting information only to move on to further broaden his knowledge. His first stop was ArcadianClan.

Finally he looked towards Mayspeculator and then to Takano, giving both the two of them hearty nods of his head in thanks and greeting. "Hello, dog. Hello, cat -- Takano. It's quite nice to meet you, too." Everyone here seemed to be so friendly and welcoming! It made the fox feel right at home.

Iqhwa narrowed his eyes for a couple seconds as he mentally jotted down some notes, realizing that he didn't know what several of these ranks actually were! The pink champagne male turned towards the nearest canines (Grant and Mayspeculator), and requested some assistance with this. "Excuse me, dogs, but could you maybe tell me what a "mason" is? And a "sailor"?" The pointy-nose Iqhwa let out a chuckle. "I'm a bit new around here, sorry."

"Ah, I see. Thank you, little cat and thank you, dog. That makes sense." The fox spoke, stepping towards Citypaw and Mayspeculator as the two both answered his questions about the masons and the sailors of ArcadianClan. He was so new to all these terms and ranks! Now understanding, Iqhwa once again took a seat to listen for any other announcements. He watched the various expressions of those around him, also noticing that there was some anger in the crowd...wherefore?

"Pleasure to meet you, Mayspeculator. I'm Iqhwa, newcomer to ArcadianClan." The off-white tinted fox shuffled around a bit in an attempt to get himself in a more comfortable seated position. "You're the...heir, if I remember correctly?" Iqhwa spoke again after a few moments, looking to strike up a conversation with the canine.

"Pleasure to meet you, Auonomous Ipsum. I'm Iqhwa, as you may have already heard." The fox's maw curled up into a toothy grin. These felines and canines were pleasant company and already he was looking forward to getting to know lots about the territory and customs. Iqhwa looked back towards the others now, suddenly wondering about residence. "Where will I be residing? Should I make my den somewhere near here?"

"Hello there, little cats! Vegaspaw, Winterbones, Vindicate." Iqhwa approached the group and bobbed his head up and down in greeting to the three felines, respectively. He'd met the peppy calico on the day he'd join the sea clan along with the knowledge-seeking blue tabby, but had not known Winterbones before this little meet and greet. "So, this is ArcanianClan, huh? I quite like it here." Iqhwa had only been in ArcadianClan for a short while, but was already learning the ropes and was making sure to ask questions when he needed answers.

"Hello, Autonmous!" The lively fox chirped to the rosetted tomcat in greeting. Noticing that the spotted tomcat was firmly nodding his head in a sparring proposal, Iqhwa bobbed his white-flecked fluffy head up and down in confirmation. "Sounds great to me, thank you." Quickly the champagne fox examined his "foe": seemingly strong and perhaps better at sparring than the fox due to having prior warrior training. Nevertheless, Iqhwa was going to give it a go and would try his best, even if it meant gaining a scar or two (which he'd probably end up showing off, honestly).

Knowing he'd never win using pure brawn, Iqhwa made sure to use his wits and try to strike first. He lurched forward with outstretched front paws in an attempt to knock the rosetted feline backwards, hoping to stagger him.

A fair?

Immediately Iqhwa scuttled towards the amassed felines and ArcadianClanners, perky ears flickering back and forth as the different characters began to converse and discuss the possibility of attending a WindClan fair. Would there be more clans for the champagne fox to study? More knowledge to absorb? Already he was bouncing with delight, obviously looking forward to attending this seemingly interesting affair. He could just imagine the different territories he'd learn about, and not to mention the various cat clan customs! How exciting!

"Hello there, Takano. It's Iqhwa; I believe we met on the day I arrived here on the beach." Iqhwa trotted over to the black-pelted serval, noticing that this feline looked quite a bit larger than average domesticated felines. Curiousity poking at him, Iqhwa inquired about this. "If you don't mind me asking, which type of feline are you?"

(Oh whoopsies! My mistake, sorry! cx)

Iqhwa let out a small chuckle, feeling a little silly now for thinking that Takano was anything other than a domestic cat. Was he really talking out of his hat here? "Ah, I see." The fox swished his creamy-shaded tail, relaxing himself against his haunches. "No idea how that could have slipped my mind."

"I see! You have shapeshifting? Multiple bodies of some sort? Reincarnation, perhaps?" Iqhwa, now quite interested, leaned forward with a rosy-colored twitching snout. He knew a few of his siblings had shapeshifting, so it was interesting to hear that felines could also develop powers during their lives.

Iqhwa had made it his mission to go out and explore the shoreline. His little paws were burying themselves in the damp sea sand every step he took, and his ears were craned forwards in adoration of the surrounding landscape. He loved the beach so very much; it was beautiful and there was just so much the little scientist wanted to learn! He suspected that it'd take quite a bit of time in ArcadianClan to fully study the territory and absorb the information fed to him. Iqhwa lived for knowledge and understanding more than anything.

The fox stopped right in his tracks as something brown and leathery rubbed against his creamy paws, hind legs kicking up a minimal amount of sand in the process. Iqhwa dug around the sand a little, revealing a twoleg item that must have washed up on the shore. On it were two shiny buckles and several straps, which folded back to reveal a pouch full of several items, damp with sea water. Iqhwa use his teeth to grab onto the leathery satchel and pulled it out of the caked sand, eyes widened as he examined the precious pouch.

After a few moments, Iqhwa wriggled through the bag strap so that the satchel was hanging from his shoulders. "How do I look?" He asked to nobody in particular.
