"I don't feel like I would be a good healer, I just watch over the kittens that we have on a rare basis" They didn't even have a healer back in the tribe, yet he knew what one was. Most of the tribe cats didn't need a healer due to not being involved in many heated fights. "We don't have one over there anyways, I've only know that clan cats have them"

"I haven't interacted enough with the stoneteller to ask....personally I haven't suffered any injuries since I've joined" Pine had been there for weeks now, yet he still couldn't fully remember everything. He was seen more around the clans then back home, though no one ever mentioned it. How would Cherry know about the tribe? She was from darkclan right? Had they interacted in the past or something?

"Yea, we still have cats training in case anything happens" He was answering all these questions and was beginning to wanna hear about Cherry. It was rude to talk about his home and such all the time. "Why not tell my a litter about darkclan and you? Unless you seem this meeting is a bit to long?" Pine simply wanted the best to go along, not wanting to force her to stay out longer then she wanted. The two just seemed so intrigued by each others stories for the time being.

Pine had been resting back in the tribe, the heat taking a beating on the longhaired tom He's retreated back into the cool rocks none of the clans could provide...at least the clan he was interested in. The last time He's met the Molly named Cherry felt like ages ago...when the time hadn't passed all that fast. The patrolling of the territory was something he hardly did, yet today pushed him to get it done.

Almost like there was something that had to be done today. The smell if darkclan triggered his senses into a flurry of feelings...unable to contain his joy for some reason. A part in the back if his mind rolled it off as a patrol...while the other was focused on seeing the female. "Cherry..? Is that you?"Pine would call out without hesitating, hoping that it wasn't someone who took offensive to his searches.

The air around him was full of uncertainty, curious why the female would make such a journey. Their two clans were neighbors but the distance was still slightly tiring. Especially to a cat not as spunky or energetic as Pine. "What are you doing out here? Surely I'm not worth the time to take out of your day" It never felt right when someone took time out of their schedule for him, especially when they held such an important role. A warrior in the clans shouldn't be sneaking off to find their friend, even if they miss each other so much.

"What's that?" Green eyes focused on the little flower underneath Cherry's paw, curious about what meaning it gave her. The flowers he collected were for the kits, gathering them in many colors to make a small thing to wear. Not once had anyone gave him a present, especially something that moat shrugged off.

Pine quickly became flustered at the comment, unsure that he heard her right. His head shook in an attempt to calm himself down, before taking a closer look at the flower. "You came all the way here to give me a gift?"

It was quite beautiful, one that he hadnt found before in darkclan's territory. It kept his eyes from traveling towards the warming face of his companion.

Seeing as Pine hadn't felt any sort of connection before, he didn't understand what to do. Other then accept the gift, and see is there was another reason she came here.

The world had definitely changed from the last time Pine had seen it, the days growing slimmer and flowers dying. Autumn was quite a beautiful thing, yet it also hurt him to see flowers become wilter from the dropping temperatures. The timing of his departure appeared to be planned by nature itself, dying with every step the tom went away from his former home. Pine had been staying in the tribe for who knows how long anymore, and his time to depart finally came around.

So many friends had been lost to the past, forgotten like fog on a crisp morning. The Abyssinian stuck to the dreary path from the mountains, leaving behind nothing but his fading scent. Hopefully darkclan was welcoming enough to give him time to explain, in cause they saw him as a threat. Darkclan had always given him a sense of the past, almost like Pine had been there before this life. Or maybe it gave him realization of the lost love that never made it far.

The journey had started two days prior and just now Pine found himself outside the border. Dim green eyes fell on the familiar path he once took, until running into lilystar that was. What had been going on in darkclan since his visitations stopped? We're suffering from an unsaleable famine? Scared stiff by a new ruler? Or just continuing on their life like every day? Hopefully there would be a time to speak before any decisions were made by the clanners.

Pine had secretly hoped he'd see cherry again, despite them leaving on bad terms. Yet, he couldn't let that blur his vision and make this a flaw at joining darkclan. Not a sense of fear ran along the formal tribe cat's body, knowing better then to show such terrible emotions. "Uh, Hello there..My name's Pine. I've left the tribe of rushing water due to them no longer fitting me." A crack in the abyssasian's voice showed how careful he was while speaking, hesitant to speak for to long. "I've visited darkclan before on peace missions...and also collecting the brightly colored flowers that grow in greenleaf. I hope darkclan has been doing well in the time I haven't come and taken a glimpse" A broken sigh caught in his throat, dark eyes settling on the smaller cat seeming to see straight through him.

They appeared to have an endless supply of apprentices, which surely meant good prey and health. There shouldn't be any problems with him. Not once had Pine hunted on their land, nor taken any sort of essential herbs.. He merely came around to make friends and gather bright flora. "I hope everything is on good terms, seeing as I've been silent the past few weeks.."

A nod was given to answer their questions, taking a moment to explain what he did in the tribe. Pine had leared to do both prey hunting and fighting techniques....he just preferred to care more for the future kits then that. This is one of the differences they had, seeing as the males didn't really tend for young. "I've trained under both of those, but decided it was best to take care of the kits. Be a teacher of sorts without doing anything like training.."

They always seemed to enjoy the small gifts Pine brought back, each ready to listen to what the tom had to say.

"I hope that isn't a problem, I can adapt to whatever your clan does."

The ranking system hadn't be on his mind during the travel, yet now it hit dead on. What if there wasn't a rank he could merge with? Would they send him back to the mountains? They never really did feel like home to him before all this.

Pine had made himself at home in darkclan for the passing days, trying to get acquainted with his new clanmates. Most of the cats hardly knew anything about the abyssasian, other then how he wished to make friends with the kits. Mostly with bringing them gifts, something knew and different for each of them. Just like he'd done back in the tribe, for now he didn't hold a true place in the clan. Not until he was welcomed on a journey to see if he fit as a warrior.

For now the tom made himself home in the camp, tempted to go out into the territory but something kept him here. Maybe it was will to try and make some friends, get some people he could learn and speak with. The chilling weather wasn't making the situation any better, as most of the bright plants he liked were killed off from the chilling temperatures. Without a single thought Pine peeked into the warrior's den, hoping someone wanted to head out or do something useful with this time.

A feeling of joy rushed over Pine's features, not needing to show his gratitude to see Duskpaw come over. At least the darkclanners didn't mock him from coming from such a different life, one that didn't hold much for him anymore. "Sure, You've came at the perfect time duskpaw" The tone in his voice clearly showed just how pleased he was. To be asked to go hunting when there were quite a few candidates around. "Is there a certain place you'd like to go? It doesn't matter to me"

Another voice drew Pine's attention from the tabby, tilting his head slightly as akospaw appeared. The only time he'd seen this cat was when he first came to join, meeting him alongside wolfmask. The two had never been fully introduced and now was better then ever. "My name's Pine, I'm a former tribe cat until I joined darkclan a few moons ago. I believe we met previously when wolfmask met me on the border"
