Oh wow, quite the turnout. She wasn't expecting this many faces to pop up but she was pleased as punch to see each member start to filter in. She beamed back at Kha before giving everyone else a quick nod, satisfied with the group. "Alright, anyone who wants to go onto the boats get right in, anyone who is too scared can hang out on the beach in one of the hammocks or you could always hover if you have some fancy wings." Elizabeth stated and although she considered asking to clamber onto the dragon's back she would stick with one of the boats. Being closer to the water was comforting to her and the female would wait for everyone else to find their place before she would loosen the ropes to send the boats further towards the waves.

Fair enough. Although she understood his point of view that didn't mean she had to agree with it and she certainly wasn't going to press too much for their conversation to start turning into an argument. "The unknown fascinates me." Elizabeth simply mused, her words rolling off of her tongue easily and she gently swayed her head from side to side in a peaceful manner. Her experiences had been rather lovely when it came to diving straight into unknown circumstances but to each their own.

She briefly turned away from Shining to crane her neck to watch the darkening sky and the stars that were starting to dot the sky. Hadn't she read before that she was actually glimpsing at the past. Most of the stars she was glimpsing at were dead. An odd thought to think, especially if she pondered too much on that subject. "Admirable. Helping others is not for the weak of heart. Most people are too selfish to care about anyone else but themselves, when it boils down to it." It had been a common sight to see during her lifetime, even loved ones had turned and ran in the midst of a fight. Saving the skins off of their own backs had become the priority.

Once again a sly smile lit across her lightly colored face and she dropped her gaze back towards Shininglight, her tail tip whisking back and forth. Her jaws parted but they momentarily closed while she started to get lost in her own thoughts. "I guess you could say that's the gist of it." It was a tempting thought to dedicate her whole entire existence on constantly seeing places she had never seen before, experiencing things she had never experienced before. A life full of wonder and brilliantly vibrant but she supposed there would always be something lacking no matter what path she took. More often than not her mind danced around the subject of finding romance, something that her Father had always wished for her, but wouldn't that impede on her dreams? Children too. Her Father had always wanted grandchildren but he was dead and she would have to take that into consideration.

"I need to find a good balance." Miss. Swann finally added and as she walked along she kicked stray pebbles aside, "I suppose I want what everyone else seems to want and that's to be happy." She halted suddenly, having come across a particularly pretty pond and she drank in not only the sight but also leaned over to lap up a few droplets, not realizing how thirsty she had been until now. Saltwater wasn't really that great for a water source. "RiverClan seems lovely, so it's possible I'll stick around for awhile. Some of you fish-people really know how to wrap a girl around your pinkies. Like Val, that kiddo is such a cutie." All of them had been quite nice to her and there was no doubt she could be content living near water once more.

✦ ✧ ✦ — BLESS.

Ohh...? She was promoted? She had been turning to grin at Kha at his promotion but her head was quickly whipped back towards Shininglight, with only a hint of confusion circulating in her dark eyes. Well now she just had to stick around, didn't she? Not that there was anything wrong with that and her half-smile turned into a full beam. "Hey thanks. I'd also be interested in joining the Warfare Guild." Elizabeth stated while she got up to stretch, assuming that since the meeting was over she'd be able to skedaddle pretty soon, back to her cozy home where she could think some things over.

Agni was surely a cutie, she had been finding out that RiverClan seemed to have plenty of cute kiddos running around. Plus the girl had some pretty intriguing fire powers going on, so any chance to interact with her Elizabeth would take up. Like Ninjasexparty she assumed that Agni was setting up a little game of sorts or maybe a drawing session, so she really didn't have anything else to ask or add. Instead she padded over, giving the two a curt nod, before her eyes focused on the magma girl expectantly.

"I'm not really much of a baker..." That was an understatement. As a girl her Father had encouraged her to take plenty of lessons and one of them involved the culinary side of things and...It hadn't ended well. As a child she hadn't been able to really see past everyone faking smiles and saying through gritted teeth "it tastes delicious!" But now that she was older it became apparent they had been lying to her. Besides half of her food had always turned out burnt anyways or way too salty. "I think for the safety of all of us I may just watch." Elizabeth chuckled as she sat herself down near Mike.

"Hey there. Don't think we've met, name's Elizabeth." She had just been done to the beach to go for a little swim and the cream feline was still soaking wet, the droplets of saltwater splashing around her paws. She was in a cheerful mood today and it showed in the little way that Elizabeth practically bounced closer to the RiverClanner.

Seemed easy enough. She tilted her head slightly to the left as she blinked at Agni, wondering if the girl was nervous or if that was just a thing her body tended to do. "I'm game." Elizabeth said before she reached for a board and marker, her tongue sticking out just a tad as she pondered what to write down. Well she wanted them to be interesting, not just things like 'I've eaten pineapple.' or something along those lines. Perhaps she would wait for someone else to go first...

Oh boy. What was this? After she had nodded in agreement to Shining's words she would watch nosily as the small leader hopped into one of the boats containing RiverClan's nurse. Hadn't they danced at the festival as well? Well heh-heh. Perhaps there was something fishy going on, in a good way, and she resisted the urge to chuckle loudly and would instead start to loosen the line that was wrapped around their boat so that it would drift off further into the sea. Not too far though. She didn't want anyone to start getting a heart attack. Elizabeth also had to resist the urge to say "Sorry I didn't make it romantic enough for yah!" And she shook her head, wondering how she could contain this all. The things she did for other people, tsk tsk.

"Hey thanks." She replied after turning her head to Delphi and her cream tail tip curled with delight at the praise. Apparently she had done a good job and she wasn't afraid to puff her chest proudly. Now she would await for others to pick their poison so she could continue loosening the lines.

✦ ✧ ✦ — Elizabeth can do October 17th-October 24th! <3

She typically didn't spend a lot of time inside of the camp however today she had waken up with the intentions of snooping around. Hey if she was going to make this a permanent home then it would be good of her to actually figure out where things were. Her paws padded peacefully along the cobbled paths, taking in the many intriguing sights that RiverClan's camp had to offer. Of course the most impressive thing to her was the Warfare Guild and that instantly got the gears in her brain turning.

Pretty soon the salt-smelling feline was perched on a little stone wall, her tail dangling loosely off the edge before she opened her jaws to call out, "Hey I got an idea over here!" Not the most civil way to make an announcement but she would shrug at that thought. "I was thinking that we could have a mock-raid against one of our allies so that we both can practice our fighting skills. With their permission of course. Don't want them thinking we're actually attacking them and have some accidents here and there." Elizabeth rolled her shoulder blades while she spoke, stretching the soreness out of them momentarily. She wasn't too sure if they had already done something like this recently and she was just bringing up a recent idea but it seemed fun nonetheless.

"Hit me with one." Elizabeth would say after she had roused herself from a cozy nap, the sleepiness still lingering in the way of her messy fur and dragging steps but her dark eyes were already starting to become more alert.

It had been strangely windy this afternoon, windy enough to make her fur all crazy and tousled but that didn't detour the feline from strolling over to the SunClanner with a welcoming but somewhat mischievous smile on her black maw. "Sounds lovely, I'm sure you'll see RiverClan there." The only fairs she had ever attended had been rather boring so Elizabeth was sure she was tempted enough to go to the event. Besides, it was nice getting out of the clan every now and then.

She couldn't help but chuckle a little at Val. The poor kid looked like he knew nothing about what she was talking about, which in all honestly he probably didn't. He was just kinda looking up at her with those cute eyes and she made the decision that this kiddo wouldn't be joining in. She didn't want to open up that can of worms of potentially ruining his innocence or something like that. He could learn to fight in a less grown-up environment, she supposed. Elizabeth simply smiled down at the cub, tilting her head ever so slightly at him.

The other two that showed up brought a more mischievous grin to her lips. "Great! Thanks! I'll still have to get the green light from Shine but in the meantime do you guys have any allies in mind for this? I'll be honest in the fact that my knowledge of other clans is a bit limited." That much was very true. She was pretty sure they were allies with HawkClan and SunClan but that was pretty much all she knew. Which was lousy and something she'd need to find out more on but what better way to learn than to ask her fellow clanamtes?

She had been dragging her feet as of late, on certain fronts. Her boat was still left unfinished on the red sandy beach that she adored and with each passing day the weather was becoming colder and colder. This morning it had been chilly enough that she had been hesitant for her morning swim. Of course she had dived right in anyways and now her pelt was starting to dry in that messy and tangled way, it was even a bit crisp because of the autumn weather. Nonetheless Elizabeth loved it. She felt more alert and ready to spring into action with a moment's notice and sometimes she could stand off on a ledge and imagine that she was already out at sea, like she was currently doing. It was rarely warm out there, in the vast open space of the waves. Just the wind, the sea, and her.

Something disturbed her daydream, it almost sounded like a mumbled voice carried by the breeze, and her dark hickory eyes widened ever so slightly across her cream face. Her white whiskers twitched as the feline got to her paws, feeling just a tad stiff, and after stretching she went to investigate. Hmm? Elizabeth soon came across the sight of Newt and for a moment she would simply stare at the strange things he was doing. What was that exactly? Spell casting? And was he holding a wand? Well this was all very intriguing to her and she puffed out her chest a little before the salt-smelling female strolled towards the stranger.

"Hey there, pretty fancy tricks you're doing. Mind telling me your name and business?" She questioned with a toss of her head to flick away any remaining moisture that was clinging to her face. To her it would appear that he was nervous, there was something flighty about his movements or maybe it was his eyes but either way it seemed like he was on edge. No problem. She would merely just offer him a slight smile before plopping herself down into a more comfortable position.

She eyed him as he abruptly started to shove things into his satchel and she couldn't help but start to perfectly raise and arch her invisible eyebrows at him. Peculiar, peculiar, she would muse to herself and her fluffy tail swept over the ground in a rapid motion. "Rejoining? Well damn. Sounds alright to me. How long has it been since you were last here, you know anyone who's still floating around?" She replied with a small tilt of her head and the more she blatantly observed Newt the more she was starting to come to the conclusion that he just seemed sad to her. Or lonely. Something she couldn't quite put her finger on and her being a somewhat nosy she was willing to pick it out of him in the future, if he stuck around long enough.

"I'm Elizabeth by the way, I'm fairly new here but I'm learning the ropes." Elizabeth added after she had chewed on the inside of her cheek thoughtfully before remembering that she hadn't introduced herself yet. That was the polite thing to do after all and well her Father had taught her many life lessons about being kind and polite. She liked that now she was old enough to pick and choose which ones to follow though.

Ah good she wasn't too late this time. Most likely because she hadn't decided to take a nap today and truth be told she had been feeling only a little bit grumpy but her feelings of minor irritation were flicking off of her like water droplets as she wandered over to the people who were already gathered. Seemed like a lot of events she could pick from and oh boy Halloween was coming up right around the corner. It wasn't exactly her favorite holiday but she wouldn't mind participating, the costume contest did sound like fun after all. With a simple shrug she'd plop herself down near Newt, the guy looked like he could use some company, and she could have sworn that he had been smiling just a few moments ago. That was a good sign. Sighing lightly Elizabeth turned her head back towards Shining, blinking slowly as she waited for him to continue.

SunClan, huh? They had been showing their faces quite a lot and she nodded in appreciation towards Kha but before she could say anything the one and only Shine would arrive. "That would be great, let me know how it goes." Elizabeth replied with another smile tugging at her lips but for now she would keep herself at bay.

//rushed, in the middle of working on a project heh

Wildeyed and wind blown Elizabeth was currently trudging through RiverClan's lands, minding her own business, when the sound of Obscuro speaking from up ahead caught the cream feline's attention. Pointed ears pricking towards the sky curiously, her nosy side coming out to its full potential as she decided to walk over to investigate. She was decent enough to keep her pawsteps heavy enough so she wouldn't interrupt anything but that proved to be useless once she came in sight of the stranger, her eyes immediately wandering down from his face to the tags around his neck that were quite flashy in the sun's rays. "Pretty jewellery you got there." She remarked with a coy smile before taking her place next to her clanmate, her dark hickory eyes studying Blake from head to toe and she eventually would offer him a slight smile of welcome.

Well there was no denying that fall was here and winter was just around the corner. Most mornings her nose tickled as she inhaled the crisp and cold air and the water temperature had been dropping each day which had made swimming a little difficult. Maybe she needed to find a hot spring of sorts...This idea was what stirred the metaphorical pot in her mind and she would think about how lovely a fire would be right about now. This night was particularly nippy, although it wasn't too bad, and in her opinion it was the perfect night to host an event. Plus there were plenty of dry leaves to be used as partial fuel and within a matter of moments Elizabeth had started a flickering flame in the center of a makeshift fire pit. "If anyone wants to join me over here for a bonfire, be my guest!" She hollered since yelling seemed like a pretty effective way to get people to come over and investigate.

There were blankets strewn out over the ground and since she had spent a lot of her time chopping and hacking away at wood for her boat there was also plenty of logs ready to keep the fire going. Maybe they could even tell spooky stories to get more into the Halloween spirit. Unfortunately she hadn't brought any food but maybe she'd get lucky and someone else would provide that. For the time being the young feline would just settle in onto a fuzzy navy blue blanket, watching as the tiny fire began to grow and grow, eagerly engulfing the kindling before it started to lick away at the larger logs. Fire was so odd. Of course she prefered water but this was very lovely.
