Slow sighs escaped the tom's maw as he trekked through the brush. His white legs hit the earth with force, though he was trying with all his might to walk softly. His eyes drifted upward, looking at the birds flying through the air. Another brief sigh drifted from his mouth.
"Mouse dung. I'm lost!" He sighed again, adrenaline flowing into his blood. "Stay calm, Astore. What could go wrong?" He said it sarcastically. "Starshine, if you saw this, you would be panicking, too."
The tom looked off a huge cliff. Was this it? Was this where he was to try to find Glacialis? "Hello?!" he called, looking around the area he stood within. "Anyone here?"
The tired tom dropped to his white feet. "I'll wait here." He licked his paw slowly, no expression on his face or in his fatigued voice. He then slid his paw over his cut ear.
After a few minutes, he raies his head quickly. Was that a rustle? He hoped it was Glacialis. "Who is it?"

A slender white paw passed over a soft face. She got up, paws making a pitter-patter noise on the cave floor as Glacialis exited. It was early morning; Glacialis had just gotten up and Kaen was still asleep. The felame decided to go and find something to eat outside; after all, a cat had to eat, didn't it? She had barely stepped out of the Dux Ducis cave when she smelled a cat-scent on the breeze. I have not smelled this smell before... She thougt to herself. Claws digging into the grassy hill, she noticed a cat on the top of the hill. What's this? She wondered, trotting up to the outsider, who appeared to be male, and he was a tabby of some sort as well. She sat down beside him, and opened her mouth to speak. "Greetings. What is your purpose of being here?" She flexed her claws, waiting for a reply from the tom...

Astore lifted his head to see a female he thought could be the leader of the Fire Clan. He stood up and looked her over.
"I've come to join the Fire Clan. You must be the Dux Ducis." He smiled, picking up each of his paws one by one. Was this her? He lowered his head to look into the cave, realizing it was too dark to see into it.
"Am... I worthy to enter your clan?" He stood, his eyes closed. 'Stupid,' he though, biting his lip. He wasn't the greatest with she-cats... But he could learn from mistakes.
He opened his eyes, finding sudden courage. He couldn't be afriad of her. She seemed nice... At least nice enough not to attack him. He flickered his eyes up to hers, then let them dart to the ground. 'Not so sudden, Astore.' It seemed as if someone was talking to him, becuase it wasn't his own voice.
Perhaps it was his mother? Or maybe just some made-up cat in his mind he had heard all these years... The voice changed -- one day it was a male voice, the next it was a female voice, and others... It was both. Sometimes he could see faint images of cats in his mind, but nothing to spark his memories so he could identify it.

All Glacialis could do was let out a mew of laughter at the tabby tom infront of her. She couldn't really understand why he was so nervous; it's not like she was going to eat him or something like that. The she-cat smiled, opening her mouth to speak.
"Don't be so nervous."
She gave her chest a few licks, scratching the soft ground with her claws. She let a few moments pass before she decided what she would say. She looked the tom over: it seemed he had a little bit of muscle under his pelt, and he would blend in well to their surrounding. He had found her somehow as well, so he must have had a little bit of tracking skills of some sort. He also had the guts to come upto some cat he had never seen before.
"That is not something that can be decided right away. But I will let you stay here, watch you do things. And, if you prove that you are worthy, you may join. And if not-- I will have no choice but to escort you away."
That was a reasonable answer. After all, you couldn't say yes to every cat that came around, could you?

OOC: Sorry for taking so long! x3 IC:
Astore smiled weakly when the she-cat told him not to be so nervous. He looked at the ground for a while, waiting for her to speak.
When she began to talk again, he reaised his head, listening intently. "All right." Astore smiled, stronger this time. His eyes sparkled slightly... He had no idea why.
"I'm Astore." He nodded quickly, as if approving of her saying her name or something like that. He had been doing things he had no idea why he had done lately... He hadn't been around many cats, maybe he forgot how to act around them or something.
"Don't be so nervous..." Astore sighed... She was right. He shouldn't be so nervous. It wasn't good to be anxious, it made you not able to enjoy things in life. It made you scared, worried... Things no one should go through. Stress wasn't the best thing for cats... It could tear away at a stressful cat, killing it slowly.
"Sooo... Anyone else in the clan...?" He was going to say more, but he kept himself... Talking too much wasn't something to be done when trying to make friends.
While waiting for her answer, Astore licked his chest slowly, looking up at the she-cat once in a while, making sure she wasn't beginning to talk or something. He let out a sigh when he was finished grooming, then looked back at her.

[It's ok. ^_^]
The she-cat listened carfully to the tom's name, trying her best to remember it. Her eyes glimmered, smiling some, and in turn said her name. "I'm Glacialis... also known as... Glaci to some." She just snickered at that.
Trees cast long, slender shoadows on the grass due to mid-day sunlight as two cats chatted idly. The female of the two looked behind her, trying to think of what she could say to the tom.
There was another cat in the clan, yes; so she may as well just tell him. "There is one other...''She paused, sending silence into the forest. She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, and then dared to continue. "...she is know as Kaen. Although she is just a young she-cat... a few months."
Glacialis let out a mew of laughter, looking at Astore. "She'd probably adore you. Come, come..." And with that, she trotted down the sloping left side of the cliff, waving her tail in a motion for Astore to follow her. She then turned, sat down, and licked her paw drawing it over her face and muzzle, just waiting and preparing to explain what was ahead...

"Glacialis," Astore repeated to himself, memorizing it instantly. "Fits you well." The tabby tom smiled, then perked his ears as Glacialis began to speak again.
"I see..." He looked at the ground, searching for something to say. He then perked his head up again suddenly as Glacialis began to speak yet again.
"Really?" He looked at her a while, then burst into a leaping frenzy after her. Was she going to leave him? He skid down the cliff, then stopped where she sat.
"Dangerous slide you have there," he said, chuckling. "Soooo, where is she?" He looked around. It was quite beautiful below the high part of the cliff. The wind whipped through his fur, making it look quilted. The shadows surrounded them, but he felt safe. Maybe it was because he was beside his leader, or maybe it was because he felt as if he was finally home...
He didn't know. But it just seemed right. He watched as dragonflies whipped around in the air. Beauitful, he thought, sighing dreamily. His mind wandered to where his friends were, how they were getting along. He hoped they were having as much luck as he was.
His eyes flickered back to reality, where he was sitting next to Glacialis, waiting for her to move again. He licked his paw, keeping his eyes on her so he would know when to move again.
