The wolf would approach as well, oblivious as to the situation and stopping to stand with the others. "Hello. I'm Natsume," he introduced himself. "Welcome to Riverclan; it's a pleasure to meet you."

Since Natsume didn't have anything to do at the moment and decided that he wanted to get some air, he emerged out into the front deck of the ship. Spotting Kaneki out on the railing, Natsume approached, blinking slightly upon the faint smell of flowers; was Kaneki going out on medic duties? "Hello, Kaneki. What are you doing?" he asked politely.

Surprised upon receiving the invitation, Natsume mulled it over for a few seconds before he spoke. "I would be glad to. I hope I'm not intruding, though," he replied. The scent of the flowers was still potent; he came to a silent realization as to their purpose. He really did hope he wasn't intruding. That would be quite rude.

Then he looked at Kaneki's wings, then down at the lake, and internally cringed. He'd have to put his newly acquired swimming skills this early? Well, he had reached the island, but that wasn't encouraging, if his best aquatic capabilities had been displayed before he lost his memories. Good luck to himself, he supposed.

"Should I follow you from the water?" he offered.

"Yes, but not very well," Natsume admitted. "However, I did make it here when I first came, so don't worry about me." He left out the part about the fact that he'd done that when he had memories, giving Kaneki a reassuring smile. "Should we go now?"

Natsume was surprised -- he actually knew this, due to some (he cringed) extremely unfortunate circumstances concerning Kaneki. "Marigold, I think? And..." He racked his brain, trying to recall more from memory. Evenkit had said...what? "It's used for wounds," he finished. He felt as if there were something more, but that was the best he could do at the moment.

Natsume froze as the telepathic call drifted through his head, but after realizing that it wasn't anything harmful and was probably another of the many odd powers that this clan seemed to have, he relaxed. Listening to the voice, it was an invitation to join a hunting patrol. Natsume got up from his place on the deck and stretched; why not? He hadn't been doing too much today yet, after all.

Leaping off from the steamboat, Natsume descended until he reached the freshkill pile, then stopped to wait for potential others.

Taking a deep breath, Natsume dove right into the water, grimacing at the temperature (despite the sunny weather) but continuing on nevertheless. As he thought, muscle memory wasn't working for him, so he ended up flailing his way to the other side. Rip any semblance of mannerliness he had left. When he finally hit land, he looked quite disorganized, and looked even worse when he shook out his fur.

"Sorry about that. I'm okay, though." Natsume smiled and groomed himself quickly. Bless the sunny weather. It was already drying his fur off a little.

/ok!

"Ah...that would be nice. Thank you," Natsume responded, following the other wolf and looking around the area. It was awfully familiar — so much so that he was a bit uncomfortable, despite it feeling very homely. Natsume shook it off and continued on after Kaneki, determined not to let it bother him.

After a while, they reached the graveyard. Natsume blinked in confusion; there was a dark-furred coyote standing there with flowers before his paws, pushed forward to lie in front of a grave. He didn't have any scent — not even the scent of a coyote. Very unsettling. The grave was strange as well. Though Natsume couldn't see anything from this distance, the name "Konoha" came into his mind. Then the coyote and flowers both disappeared and Natsume found himself standing in front of the same grave that had been in his mind a moment ago.

"Konoha...?" he muttered, suddenly both confused and mentally exhausted. Konoha. Konoha. A doctor of Riverclan? His boyfriend? None of this made any sense. "Who is Konoha?"

"I...I don't know." Natsume took a deep breath, trying to regain his bearings; he actually felt a bit dizzy. Was he regaining his memories? Had he been here before? He might have been a friend of Konoha and the coyote, or something, since Kaneki had said that this was the old territory.

Natsume closed his eyes for a second, focusing on improving his state of mind, before he spoke again. He'd usually never voluntarily involve someone else in his own problems (much less make them feel uncomfortable), but right now he was so disoriented that even when he thought he was thinking straight, he really wasn't. "Um...I'm sorry. I really don't know. I just...saw a coyote, and then he disappeared. He had flowers, like you. Did I know you before?"

"Ah, I see..." Natsume scrutinized Kaneki closely for the first time. He looked overpoweringly familiar; it was very likely that he'd known him once before as Konoha. He wasn’t sure what ‘boyfriend’ meant, though, since Natsume assumed that if he’d been that close to Kaneki, then he’d probably remember him more than he did. “I probably knew you before, then...I’m not sure who I used to be, but I’ve always found you very familiar, for some odd reason. Um…” He decided to change the subject. “Let’s do what you came here to do, okay? I really am sorry if I made you uncomfortable.” He smiled faintly.

Natsume had only just started forward when he managed to take a good look at the grave that Kaneki was visiting and tensed. There was nothing there that was particularly odd about it and the grave also didn’t have a name, but though the black coyote in his (memory? had that been a memory?) had held no scent, this grave did and Natsume was sure that it was him -- though that scent was buried underneath dirt and smelled of death. It was unsettling.

"Um...if you don’t mind me asking, who are we paying our respects to?” he asked, careful to keep his tone neutral.

Natsume gave a small smile to Amor as well before he trotted after the rest of the patrol. Following the others' leads, the wolf maneuvered his way around the ice and soon found a patch of slightly-thinner ice, pressing down carefully until it cracked (he made a mental note not to walk there). Stilling, he waited for a fish to pass by, ready to strike if needed.

Natsume jumped upon hearing the onslaught of questions, not having expected it. Oh well, his spot didn't seem that good anyway; he'd been sitting there for ten minutes or so and no fish had even swam his way despite how still he'd been.

Then he realized that a few of the questions were directed at him and he answered them hastily. "Ah -- um, I've hunted before, but mostly just mice. I haven't eaten anything together before." Fish with mice honestly sounded kind of unappetizing; he doubted he'd be able to handle the sliminess of fish coupled with the fur of mice. "I've seen ducks on the lake but I've never seen a mouse swim. Although I'm sure that we might have a member who can do that. The longest distance I swam was likely when I came here but I can't remember that at all. We should probably quiet down, though. We might be scaring the prey off." He gave a gentle smile to Amor.

He spotted another Riverclanner coming to join them whose name he didn't know, and he could only dip his head in greeting, as he wasn't the leader of the patrol.

Natsume appeared as well, greeting the newcomer with a smile as he didn't really know what to say at the moment. Recently he'd been a little distant, but hopefully he would pick up on the activity again.

Having been out on a walk, Natsume's ears twitched as he heard the sound of voices. Curious, he padded over to the area to see a very large wolf speaking to a few of his clanmates. Usually he would get at least a bit shocked over this, but everything was civil and friendly, so he approached as well, giving the wolf a smile in greeting. He'd assumed that he was a joiner.

Emerging into the area, Natsume padded over, smiling as he recognized another newcomer. They were having a lot of them recently, but that was a good thing (and to be honest, he had joined pretty recently as well). "I'm Natsume. Welcome to Riverclan; it's nice to meet you."

//ooo, haven't seen assassination classroom around in a while

Natsume joined the others, greeting the feline (who he hadn't yet seen around before, but this was why this was a meet and greet, wasn't it?) with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Natsume," he introduced politely, stopping to stand next to Amor.

"Welcome to Riverclan, then. I'm Natsume. It's nice to meet you," the wolf introduced himself politely, approaching to stand in front of Civil. "Would you like anything at the moment?" he asked, glancing at the other wolf again. Natsume hoped he wasn't somehow mentally offending him but he looked slightly tired.
