"Mmmmmm," Apatite was feasting on a flounder by the very spot they were holding the meet and greet at before Timepaw came over and disrupted his peaceful and private meal. With an annoyed expression, he narrowed his eyes at the apprentice at at the Warriors coming over. No respect, no respect at all. Frustration bubbled in his chest, but he managed to keep it down to a cool appearance.
"You want to meet me?" Inhale, exhale. Count to ten. One, two, three...
His meal was disrupted by something as petty as this, it was frustrating to be around others who didn't understand the amount of privacy someone like him needed. He needed to go recharge alone for now, being disrupted had broken the flow of energy for him.

With a grunt of disapproval, he answered hotly, "I'm Apatite." Sweeping the remains of his founder, he picked it up and went off else where into the secluded area within the reeds to eat. At least he wouldn't be bothered there.

"My name's Apatite, nice to meet you," he said in return, his voice deep with an english accent. Carradio, he wasn't sure if he could remember that, but he would try his best to if he saw the RiverClanner around again. "Say, what kinds of fish do you have in your territory? I think it would be marvelous if I could try all of them. With mouse and squirrel, sure there's a different taste. But what about carp versus flounder, or rainbow trout? They all live and eat the same prey, so I would like to try tasting them," the senior feline explained. Food was his passion, he just loved eating new things so much.

As strange as it could sound, there were other tribes and Clans who hunted animals far larger than them such as badgers, foxes, deer, he got a taste of those too. Everything he could eat, he would. Of course, he left cat alone, he wouldn't go as far as to resort of cannibalism.

"Why do we need allies? I think we do just fine on our own, and they'll do just fine without our help," Apatite spoke against the idea of having alliances. "Superficial alliances like these hold nothing out of meaningless gift exchanges and wars we have to fight for their behalf, not ours. Alliances are made when two Clans unite together to defeat a common enemy, exactly who is our enemy?"

One thing he disliked about modern Clans were their laziness, the minimal effort they put into alliances. It was saddening to see alliances reduced to such a state to where it was almost meaningless. ForestClan had no enemies to fight against at the moment, even the Exiles, the Clan full of rapists and murderers supposedly, haven't fought them yet. And until they did, why was ForestClan so willing to make the first move? And here, he thought that they weren't the kind of Clan who just picked a fight because everyone else was against them.

"If you're not doing anything, you can come over here and help me sort these herbs," Apatite suggested as he beckoned them over with a paw, fixing his royal purple eyes on the scattered herbs he had by his paws. Yes, he was experienced with healing and the usage of the herbs, but that wasn't why he wanted to sort them. He didn't use them for their medicinal uses at all, no. Rather, he used them for taste. Lavender and honey sweetened a dish, marigold and goldenrod added to the overall appearance, and more of course. Best of all, the herbs were edible. He liked changing up his dishes once every while, it got boring eating the same old thing over and over again every single day.

Smooth tongue had no effect on Apatite, he saw past the coy play. Manipulative, stubborn, selfish, those were the kind of traits that he would use to describe animals like Dresdenpaw. Thinking that they were higher than everyone else because their thinking was always superior, well he derived that all from the tone. Was networking important, or survival?

"Right, because without parties, allies aren't allies. You are quick to label us 'isolationists', when I'm just merely suggesting that making no alliances would be a better step. Your argument is weak, and you assume too much," Apatite stated with a matter-of-fact voice, his expression dull and disinterested in what the young apprentice wanted. Parties, parties, and more parties, that was all that mattered was it? Did ForestClan want to survive or make a name? Well that would be up to the leader.

The demon was an idiot, well in the senior warrior's eyes. The mind tricks weren't working on him, in fact, they were repelling him away. "And I propose that we settle down first and increase the numbers in our Clan before making allies. What use are we to them when we barely have enough members to even host a hunting patrol with?" Someone who listened to the manipulative, smooth talker would hold no respect from him.

"You don't need to help me," Apatite replied in return, pointing a crooked claw at Dresdenpaw to show that he was talking to him. Someone like you won't ever learn to appreciate the beauty of everything, he thought inwardly, in his mind, correctly too. Even more so, the apprentice would most likely jumble it up and rip the herbs rather than sort them. The senior warrior wasn't sure that he could trust him, and he certainly didn't like him. Unlike Dresdenpaw, he wasn't afraid of showing his dislike to the apprentice publicly.

Waiting on the other animal's answer, he began sorting them out by taste. Lavender, rose, and honey belonged to "sweet". Horsetail was bitter, and Watermint was well, minty.

"Hello? Someone? Looks like this Clanmate by the name of 'Anna' stepped down and left the Clan," Oncomingstorm reported out loud as he read the note, his brown eyes lightly skimming on the words. Although the brown tabby never got the pleasure to meet her, he was saddened, but respected her decision to leave the Clan. That was one less Clanmate he would ever get to see.

A dragon?! Oncomingstorm looked up at the sky in surprise as the giant reptile flew overhead, only to return a few moments later and fly in another direction. It seemed like it had dropped something off, too. Padding over to the scene to take a closer look, he pushed away the bushes and brambles that were in his path as he quickly read the note. He was a fast reader, having been educated since he was a young kitten.

"Looks like we're invited to a ball, guys! The invitation is from the Clan formally known as . . . LunarClan," he read aloud, not familiar the the particular Clan name. Of course, there were so many Clans popping up all over the place nowadays, it was hard to keep track of all the ones appearing and disappearing.

With a minimal amount of interest, it was enough to haul himself onto his paws and unevenly walk over to greet Sunstream. Cloudhouse knew that he had to exercise every once in a while, so this was a good chance to stretch his legs to prevent his muscles from dying. He knew he couldn't save his hind leg, that was far gone. "Hello," he barked shortly, fixing his piercing eyes on the smaller feline.

"Be careful, I wouldn't want your breaking your neck on that thing," Cloudhouse barked with disdain as he saw the Twoleg object. Although he wasn't sure what the purpose was, it seemed like it was for entertainment or for a bed for kits to lie down on. Already, he was thinking ahead to how this could be useful for him. Although his grumpy frown on the outside didn't reveal much, there was a glint of interest in his piercing eyes.

"Seems like you've mistaken being offended with simply disagreeing with you. There is a difference, I assure you," Apatite replied back smoothly with a smooth smile, suddenly turning docile. His words twisted the mind, and the more experienced warrior knew that it was all an act, a fake ploy. He wouldn't be tricked as easily as the others were. "There is also a difference between isolation and simply not forming alliances. It'd be wise to know the meaning before you assume that they are the same thing," he clarified what he meant before.

"Who ever made up a rule that we need allies to interact? We can still send out gift baskets and host parties and invite Clans, all the same. I just don't see why we need to pull ourselves down by helping out allies when we can barely help strengthen our own Clan. Allies are like extra baggage, and we don't need any."

"It's fine, thanks for offering," Apatite responded towards Halt, sorting out the last of the herbs. Alone, he could do it easily under two minutes. He had just been offering some work because they seemed like they wanted something to do, but he didn't mean to dump his work and hobby on someone else.

"You haven't offended me, I just don't appreciate your attitude in general. You seem genuine, but why do I feel like it's all a lie? I trust my gut, and it doesn't trust you," the ruffled, larger tom responded, not making eye contact as he cleaned up the last of his herbs. He had learned to trust his instincts by experience, and something was off with Dresdenpaw whether that be that the apprentice was simply ignorant in his eyes, or the feeling like he wanted to be superior.

"My point is that it is impractical. We aren't in a state of war, alliances would put us exactly in that position since their enemies automatically become our enemy. Would you want to fight a war with just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight members?" That seemed weak, especially since he wasn't going to fight any Clans that haven't even made a move on them yet. "There's a difference between meaningless bickering, this is my argument, or are you to silence whoever disagrees with you?" he asked, fixing a stare on Wakinglamb. He never expected this to be the Clan where everyone mindlessly agreed with what the leader automatically wanted, they should grow a brain of their own.

His answer was the same. "No one."

"Stop what? Having a brain, a thought, an opinion? Are you denying my right to speak my mind?" Apatite asked, narrowing his eyes towards Hushpuppy. If they couldn't tell the difference between disagreeing and bickering, then they were quite narrow minded. Just because he simply disagreed with having allies did not mean that he was fighting anyone about it. In fact, he was being quite civil.

"Once we become allies with someone, we officially become a target for any of their enemy Clans. Just wait and see," he warned gravely, exasperated by the amount of mindless fools in the Clan. If they wanted to play the role of the mindless sheep, he was done trying to change their opinion on how dangerous that was.

"Well I'm happy to see you following instructions for once. The leg will heal along nicely if you stay off of it," Cloudhouse assured as he padded over, wanting to make sure that Witchkit knew that his effort to follow orders would not be in vain. "Once the wound has closed up and the muscle has healed, we can start physical therapy."

"Back from what?" Cloudhouse asked as he strode over, clearly not knowing the kitten extremely well. With a blink, he sat down and tried to think up if he had ever met her before.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify]

"Hey, kid. Are you alright?" Cloudhouse asked with a concerned frown as he came over, spotting the bleeding paws as well. Taking out a wad of cobwebs, he motioned for him to come closer for further inspection.
