    Jan jumped as he heard the voice of Vader next to him. Now standing, he looked to the other lion. What on earth was he doing? And how had Janshai never realized he was neighbors with Vader? "Uh, yeah, I guess I just don't like getting wet," he said, with an obviously forced smile. He wasn't sure what his fear of water had stemmed from, he just knew he'd been scared of it for as long as he could remember. The death of his sister in a river probably hadn't helped, either. The male said nothing to answer Vader's second statement, just nodded. Jan had been making a conscious effort, it seemed, to avoid the armored feline ever since he'd made him uncomfortable at his meet and greet. Did this mean that, now that the other knew this was his home, he'd be watching him through the windows or something?

    "I'm Janshai," the lion said after he had rested for a bit. "And this-" No, he didn't need to introduce Divergent. He was old enough and would probably snap at the lion if he did so anyway. So he was silent, waiting whist the kit preformed his weekly task. That is, until the rabbit mentioned food and a kitsune offered them some. "Oh, yes, thank you!" he said, pushing the plate closer to himself before leaning over to eat the contents on it. The male paused, remembering Divergentkit. "Would you like some?"

    Janshai had feared Vader would do that. The lion let out a huff as his gut collided with Vader's leg, feeling as if he might get sick. He stepped back as the pain subsided, taking deep breaths. So maybe that wasn't the way to go. Quickly deciding on his next move, the male rushed at his opponent once again, aiming to leap on top of the other and hoping he would crush Cocoacub in the process.

    Janshai flattened his ears as Vader ordered him to do something else. He wasn't sure what he could break. Scanning the camp he rushed to Darklight's side and began pushing down the walls of the home the other was in the process of destroying.

    Jan nodded as she explained the game. It seemed simple. All you needed was to think logically and hope luck was on your side. Looking down at the card she had dealt him, he saw that it was a king of spades. So that was ten, right? The goal was to get 21, so no matter what he drew next, he wouldn't go over. In fact, there was a chance to get exactly the right amount. "Can I get another?" he asked, hoping he'd thought it out correctly and wasn't missing something.

    Jan had been a part of the stealth raid and had returned virtually unscathed, thanks to Cherviltea. Without the leader's elementals, the lion would probably be dead. The unmistakable but familiar scent of the Exiles is what drew him to the border. After all, there had been raids exchanged between the two Clans recently, maybe this was another. But instead, he found both Vader and the Exiler in question, of which Janshai instantly recognized. Reward? What were they talking about? Curious, the male would seat himself far enough away so that he would not interrupt their conversation but still listen, hoping he wouldn't be scolded by Vader.

    Jan made his way over as O'Fraiser spoke, the smell of tea guiding his pawsteps. He'd never had tea before, but he liked just about everything else, so why not try it? "I'd like some, if it's not too much of a hassle." It would seem he'd already gotten comfortable and the lion would hate to intrude.


    Waiting for the other's reply, he would think about what he'd said. Yes, the moors had taken some getting used to, especially after living his whole life in a cave within a jungle. But, now that he was situated here, he almost liked it better than his previous home, not only due to the lack of the scent of death and rotting corpses, that he'd been accustomed to in the Exiles.

    This was the SunClanner he'd met on the border with Div, wasn't it? He was at least one of them. Hearing the familiar voice at the border, Janshai padded over and greeted the other with his go-to dip of his maned head. He said nothing, though, because he wasn't particularly aware of what was going on in WindClan at the moment. See, he preferred to be on his own.

    Laying nearby, Jan had been in the middle of grooming himself when he'd heard Cora's call. He licked his paw once more before rising to pad closer to the medic. He wasn't too familiar with her, but he'd seen her around and even spoken to her a few times. So, he didn't know much about her. Where could he start? The lion's mind instantly wandered to food. "Um, what's your favorite thing to eat?" he asked.

    The lion had been enjoying a rabbit he'd caught, laying sprawled on the porch of his home, when a scream split the silence. Quickly riding to his paws, he abandoned his meal and headed to find the source of the sound, concern in his orange optics. Jan didn't have to go far until he stopped dead in his tracks, face to face with a bright pink feline. The strangers color didn't strike him as odd, he'd met plenty of others with less than normal pelts. The fact he was running around as if he were insane is what confused and slightly frightened him. He could do nothing but he watch the other, wondering if he should have stayed in his cottage.

    At the HawkClanner's appearance at the border, Janshai made his way over, silent as the leader explained the event. Had didn't really like the fact that scaring involved, as he would more than likely completely embarrass himself in front of his allies, but he would do, only because there would be a party at the end. And parties meant, as well as the leader had said there'd be, food. "Sounds nice," the lion half-lied after the leader had finished speaking. "I'll wait for Cherviltea, though."

    Janshai flatted his ears as the pink feline continued to yell. When the stranger approached him, the lion couldn't help but flinch away from him, even taking a few steps back. Something about the other made him very uncomfortable, but he thought he could vaguely understand why he might be acting this way. Was he just hungry? He'd asked about pizza, of which some Jan wouldn't mind himself, but he had none on his person. "Uh, I'm sorry, I don't have any," he said as kindly as possible. After all, the feline had said please. He looked around at his other clanmates that had gathered, wondering if they had any food for the pink cat. Maybe then he'd act sane and stop running around their camp.

    Janshai was next to arrive and it was safe to say he was just as scared as the BlizzardClan kit he followed. He flatted his ears as he passed the jack-o-lanterns seemingly guarding the entrance and took an immediate left. It was only logical that he pick one direction and continue that way, that is, if he wasn't scared into going another, so he'd eventually make it to the exit and therefore the food. That was what kept him going. He remebered Ichigo saying there would be a party for those who finished, including snacks. The lion's paws shaking slightly, he continued on his path, eyes wide, trying to imagine the meal awaiting him when he finished. It was a Halloween themed event, so he would guess there'd be things like pumpkin pie, candy corn, red punch, and all sorts of other sweets. Licking his lips, Jan pressed on, looking behind him every few steps.

    "Janshai," he said simply. Jan had never thought of his pelt color as particularly strange. It was odd, as it wasn't the norm for a lion, but his father had been melanistic as well as all of his siblings. His mother was a tiger, but she had an albino white lioness body from which it appeared he hadn't inherited much. The lion hadn't seen a lot of others like himself, but he supposed anyone with pelt changing abilities could easily alter theirs, so maybe he wasn't that special. As for his swords, he had been taught to wield them by his aunt, and frankly, he was bad at it. See, the way he had learned was to balance on his hind legs, sort of in a sitting position, and hold the blade with both of his front paws. Several problems arose from him doing this. One was that, with lack of opposable thumbs, it was very difficult to grip the weapon. And two, he obviously stood on all fours, so the lion really had to focus to maintain this stance, which was a bad idea when you were in the midst of a battle.

    Jan had made it a few minutes in the maze and, so far, hadn't reached a dead end, and he was actually proud of himself. That was, until he heard the scraping of metal as he went to turn left once again. The lion stopped in his tracks, perking his ears and slowly peeking around the corner, doing his best to avoid brushing up against any of the stalks and making noise. His eyes adjusted and he could faintly make out the shape of a figure in the distance. When this figure ran straight for him, Janshai panicked. Turning back the way he had came, he too began to sprint, before he came to a halt face to face with Cherviltea. In his cautiousness, he couldn't believe he hadn't noticed the leader following him. Breathing a sigh of relief, he knew the collie would help, just as he had at the stealth raid.

    Janshai had known plenty of smokers in the Exiles, and also that ordering them to stop often had no effect. He briefly remembered the time Litten had got into cigarettes. Yes, they were a bad habit to have, but a hard one to break, as well. So, he said nothing, just watching on, and trying to breath as shallowly as possible. He was used to the smell, but was well aware that it was harmful to anyone who inhaled it, not just the smoker.

    Padding over to the scene behind Mona, Janshai watched as Cora patched Vader's wounds. The way the other lion insisted the medic couldn't be of help for the majority of his injuries, it sounded as if he weren't very worried. Vader sounded strangely calm for someone who'd just lost his legs. Jan knew if he were in the Sith's place, he would definitely be freaking out. Or maybe, if he had armor like his clanmate's, he'd feel the same as him, knowing he'd just be able to build new legs for himself.


    The lion had wondered from the day he'd met Vader what the other felt about his armor. He didn't know the origins of his suit, just that it seemed to keep the male alive and that Vader didn't talk about it much. Did the lion like having it on? It looked like it had saved him on this occasion. But, Jan had never seen him take it off and wondered if he even could. If it was keeping him alive, it was also keeping him trapped, which seemed terrible.

    Janshai couldn't recall ever formally meeting either of the two, but their casual conversation seemed like the perfect opportunity. As he looked over the wolf pup's shoulder at her book, he once again felt slightly ashamed that he couldn't read. The lion assumed that his aunt hadn't had time to teach him, putting more important lessons first, like how to fight against elementals, but even then, he hadn't learned much. "Hi, there," he said, not taking his eyes from the squiggles on the page. Jan found that he felt more comfortable talking to another when he wasn't making eye contact, even if it might make whoever he was talking to uneasy. "I'm Janshai. Do you like herbs?" The male had never taken an interest in healing, but was glad that there were some out there who did, so they could grow up and benefit the Clan.

    Hearing Jonathan's call, Jan padded over, listening carefully to his announcement. "I'd be happy to accompany one or both of you," he said as the wolf told his pups they'd have to go with someone. After all, he had traveled with Div not too long ago and had enjoyed himself. "If not, I'll take BlizzardClan." He also supposed he could do both, seeing as he had nothing else to do.

    The whimpers and cries of the young wolf pups would draw Janshai over, as his eyes widened in surprise. He listened, doing his best to keep quiet, as the mother named her offspring, his eyes drawn to the youngest one, the one she had called Jasper. The lion couldn't help but smile as he thought of his own happy-go-lucky, always enthusiastic brother by the same name and briefly wondered what had come of him. "Yes, is there anything you need?" he repeated Oakley's question. He had never met this femme, but was g
    Happy to help her.
