    then, "hello? anyone there?"

    when casimir approached with words for hawk on his lips, the fox relaxed a little and gave a twitch of his plumed tail, mouthing a 'thank you' in the one-eyed male's direction. though, he still said nothing as pinkie and hawk contradicted each other, only speaking at the mention of wasting food and living space on trash. "um," he began softly, clearing his throat and then continuing. "look, i don't mean to be rude, but i'm not just here to be a burden. my name's fireflight, i'm looking to join. to help. be a contribution, that's all. with all due respect, i came here hoping to fuel your clan, and i only got hostility. that isn't all that nice, y'know. i'm looking for a home and the first place i come to treats me with disdain. i'm not here to leech off you, i want a job." he glanced to pinkiemena and nodded. [b]"i've been running for a while now, and i've made it this far. i don't want to turn back around."

    "braid my fur? my dear, not at all. i simply want you to shut up and leave me alone." he muttered, though there was no venom there. he couldn't conjure it. he just couldn't. feeling useless, the reynard again licked his lip piercing. "i want to join. i want to stay. i want to help. i don't expect respect, but i at least expect tolerance until i earn something here. i want to be of some value, not the pacifistic leech you expect me to be."


    when pinkiemena suddenly drew a knife and hawk began to leave, fireflight felt ready to collapse. god, these were ridiculous creatures, where was the voice of reason? [b]"i take it i'm in? where- where's camp?"

    when hawk apologised, fireflight resisted the urge to tense up. sure, sure she was sorry. that glare was anything but apologetic. shaking his head, the fox looked away, not wanting to deal with any of this.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; width: 410px; border-top: 3px dashed; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; line-height:95%; font-size: 8pt; text-align: justify;]pomade. well, it was a name. just like fireflight, he supposed. and look; another who'd grown around humans, only pomade had been in a suburban area filled with forgiving people and he'd hailed from rural farms surrounded by gunmen and their angry hunting dogs. no, he had no good experience with areas around those bastard humans, but he wasn't hateful of them, merely afraid. he was afraid of many things, though none were true terrors, simply things that could intimidate him. he'd learned that anything could be dangerous, even this scrawny kitten. though, pomade looked particularly harmless, so the fox approached with a somewhat relaxed body, even if his eyes held hesitance.


    "name and business?" he asked the usual phrase, one that hadn't been used on him.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; width: 410px; border-top: 3px dashed; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; line-height:95%; font-size: 8pt; text-align: justify;]anticlan-mates. whatever. they could just be clan mates, right? fireflight didn't know. he just hoped the rest of bloodclan was a little more welcoming, else he'd wind up running away again, and then maybe feel terrible afterwards. still unwilling to cross the border, fireflight nodded his head. alright, alright. he was safe; for then. he doubted his safety would last long, if any more unhinged crazies like hawk lurked around. perhaps on his first relaxed night she'd kill him. he didn't know. "alright," he woofed softly after a moment.


    when casimir spoke again, fireflight tensed, but seeing as there were no barbed comments thrown his way, the fox slowly tried to relax. "ah, um, okay. thank you. a- again, that is. thanks again... casimir." their names were getting stranger. or, rather- the first name he properly heard was strange. he supposed he'd get used to them, though.


    when hawk spoke again, fireflight blinked. "well, not all strangers are the same. and not all foxes are the same. that's like me assuming all cats are horrid vermin because one of you acted with hostility towards me. it's fine. i don't care. sorry about your family." came his response, quiet but short.

"partners, anyone?" he called, ears twitching.

"fireflight; hey," he greeted simply, eyes on his paws.

"i guess." he responded. "nobody has it easy." and then he stepped over the border, eyes looking past and up to the temple. he assumed that was camp, but didn't want to press on and find it was something else. [b]"so... camp?"

"name and business?" he spoke calmly, voice luckily not betraying him.

[b]"name and business?"

"yeah, welcome to bloodclan. i'm fireflight. with an 'f' before 'light'." some people tended to remove it, and then they had a different name entirely. the fox nodded, tail wagging slightly.

    [hr]
    fireflight shrugged, nodded. a good addition, hmm? he hoped so, though with his self esteem at rock bottom, he doubted it. he merely spoke big to try and raise his confidence but there seemed to be none. "yeah. thanks." he woofed, still awaiting the moment he was led to camp.

    she was grabbing my starlight
    getting drunk on whispered promises
    but i didn't mean them
    i never mean them


    fireflight stared at the bloodied corpse of another fox at his paws, half eaten, and he licked his lips free of the crimson that stained them. just as others ate birds or cats, his digestive system only accepted foxes so this simply looked like a carnivore eating its prey; if prey was the same species. after observing a few cannibals at work, the fox had decided he should finally go get something to eat, although he had indeed done this in secret. beside him was a recently dug hole; once he finished his meal he pushed the remains into the hole and began to fill it with mud, hiding it and his activities from view. he was ashamed of himself for not being... normal in that sense. such little things ruined his confidence. he felt sick thinking about his dysfunctional body.


    shaking his head and stretching out, the fox picked up a nearby stick and neared camp, twisting his head to stick the pointy end of the tree-limb into the ground, keeping a grip on it and merely grinding his teeth, sharpening the incisors, keeping the molars blunt. his gums had been hurting recently; hopefully this would remedy it.

"welcome; my name is fireflight. yeah, we love in the triangles. pyramids, or temples, i think they're called. and come with us, there's water nearby." woofed the male in his soft voice, swallowing and shifting nervously.

"we're animals. i've even seen some eat their own faeces. chewing a stick won't kill me, and i'll do my best not to get a splinter." he commented with a nod. "i'm fireflight. who're you?" this was directed at roxanne, for he knew selena's name.
