OOC: I decided- Snakeshade text is white, Flecktail is brown. I don't like fancypost </3
"Why, of course we are." He replied. "An idea struck me this fine afternoon and I decided I should inform Talia. Of course, we bring prey, as she told me of the prey shortage. Of course, I brought my partner in crime, Flecktail." He indicated the spotted silver tom to his right.
Flecktail simply listened in on his friend's conversation with this... dazzling she-cat. No, shut up conscience. I don't have room for love.
-
"Yes, I am Snakeshade, deputy of SunClan." He meowed. He sat down, motioning for Flecktail to do the same. "Are you watching the borders or something? I don't usually see you around here."
Flecktail sat down, listening to his friend's questioning.
-
"So you aren't a Vindictive then?" He meowed. He heard pawsteps approaching but knew exactly who it was and what they wanted.
-
Snakeshade turned his head and spotted Talia. "Ah, Talia, I was coming to meet you. Might I come to your camp? We bring gifts of prey." He stood with Flecktail, indicating the two mice, the squirrel, and the rabbit lying nearby.
Flecktail narrowed his eyes distrustfully. "Can we trust them?" he murmured warily to Snakeshade. He saw his companion nod, and he swallowed his misgivings.
-
Snakeshade padded calmly beside the Vindictives, not a single sign of fear or weakness showing. He occasionally glanced behind himself at Flecktail, who was now as composed as himself after being reassured.

i'm an extremely disorganized person, but i like everything neat and clean. weird, i know <3
-
Snakeshade ordered his clanmate to duck down a bit, effectively hiding them from any threats. "What's so dangerous about this place? It is your territory, isn't it?" he murmured quietly to Talia.
Flecktail ducked when he felt Snakeshade's tail on his forehead. He flicked Night across the face with his tail in irritation upon feeling a nip on it. "You're not my leader, Snakeshade is. Don't order me around!" he snapped, padding to Snakeshade's side.
-
"Why must Flecktail stay behind? He is an important part of the planning. It is vital that he hears our conversation." Snakeshade meowed.
Flecktail sneered openly at Night, not intending to sit with him one bit. He hung back and lashed his tail, however, as he wanted to see what this was about.
-
"Very well," Snakeshade meowed. He gave Flecktail a warning glance, then followed Talia to her den. The two toms sat down, and Snakeshade began to speak. "An idea for our attack on SunClan struck me this afternoon," he began. "I wanted to ask you- have you ever heard of DarkClan?"
-
Snakeshade was confused at her reaction."You have then?" He meowed, wondering why they were so unhappy about that Clan being mentioned.
-
"I hadn't known that they harmed your cats. A couple days ago, one of their cats came into our camp...." He explained what had happened, that the tom called Sharkface had come for Dream, and about her parents, and how Snakeshade had let the tom in to kill the cat who suspected him the most of treachery. "After a while, I though of allying with them, to see if they would provide cats for attacking the camp in return for getting Dream. But if you don't want to win, Talia.." He narrowed his eyes at her. "You, of all cats, should know how much I hate losing.." he growled threateningly.
-
Accepted, and did you mean Angelbreeze? XD
Also, I won't add your cat to the rosters until I get back on my laptop. Editing posts on my tablet is temperamental, and I don't want to destroy the main post.

"Today is full-moon, correct? We will enact our plan on half-moon if we gain the support from the DarkClan cats. I'll send out nearly all of the Clan's cats on patrols away from the Vindictive-loner lands border on the afternoon of the ambush. I will occupy Aspenstar in his den. Then, when Flecktail comes to tell you everything is ready, your Vindictives and the DarkClan cats will take the camp. Flecktail will join me in Aspenstar's den so we make sure he cannot escape. When Aspenstar and Dream are dead, I want you and DarkClan to retreat. The Clan will believe I had no intent to kill him, and will accept me as leader, with Flecktail standing as deputy. Then, we can assume a true alliance." He finished, waiting for her input.
-
"Good. That makes everything much more simple," he meowed. Nodding to Night and Talia, he stood quickly. "Flecktail and I had better get back to camp before Aspenstar notices we're gone. And we have encroached on your hospitality long enough. I will be meeting with DarkClan's leader tomorrow, if I'm correct about my assumption that their camp is nearby." He flicked his tail, stepping out the den; Flecktail followed with a wary glance at the surrounding warriors.
Flecktail looked back and meowed, "We won't need an escort back. We can find our own way." The two toms stepped out of camp, over the rise, and reached the border. And the thing they feared all along happened: Ghostshadow was still sitting on the border markings. They had walked straight in front of him without a thought.

Ooc: Be back in a moment, need a shower
-
Snakeshade froze in front of Ghostshadow, snarling; he flicked his tail behind him to stop Flecktail. "What are you doing here?" he growled.
Flecktail narrowed his eyes at Ghostshadow threateningly. "Did you follow us out of camp? I can get rid of him, Snakeshade. He won't give us away," he snarled. The silver tom flexed his claws in anticipation, and was disappointed when his leader gestured with his tail to stand down.
-
He snorted in contempt. "And I suppose you're wondering why we were across the border?" he meowed.
-
Snakeshade straightened up to his full height. "Us two-" he jerked his head back at Flecktail "-are going back to camp now," he growled at Ghostshadow. "And if you dare to even SQUEAK about this, and I find out... YOU WILL BE SORRY." He unsheathed his claws to show that he meant his words, then padded off back to camp.
Flecktail glared angrily at Ghostshadow for a moment before following his leader. They washed off the Vindictive scent by grooming themselves and rubbing it off on clumps of fern. Then, the two toms trudged back into camp without a word or a glance at each other, settling down near the entrance of the warriors' den. The silver tom coldly glared at Chillpaw and Sparrowkit, not amused by their kit-games.

"It is none of your business where the Clan deputy spends his afternoon. Also, don't talk to me in that ungrateful tone. I am your mentor and your deputy. Show some respect," he snarled. "Now, we are going hunting tomorrow, whether you like it or not. Be awake at sunrise or I will go alone." He shifted around, ignoring his apprentice, and murmured quietly in Flecktail's ear. "We are meeting the DarkClan leader after I take Staticpaw out. You'll come hunting with us, and we'll drop her off when we're done."
Flecktail nodded, perfectly fine with Snakeshade's plan. He turned and narrowed his eyes at Snakeshade's mouthy apprentice. "If you were my apprentice, you'd be picking ticks from the elders for a moon. Consider yourself lucky that Snakeshade is a generous mentor," he growled at Staticpaw.
