Fire in the waiting. (( OPEN ))

Fallon was slowly walking through the canyon. Her amber eyes fixed upon some...graves? She padded to the spot where the graves were. One said 'Crash' and another said 'Blackplauge'.

Just as he was coming out of his empty home, Snapdragon saw Fallon looking at his relatives graves. "What are you doing here?" He growled. He was a little angered by Fallon 'tresspassing' in his territory.

Fallon spun around. "I saw it first." She retorted. How dare this tom growl at her?

Snapdragon liked the she-cat, but that didn't mean he wasn't angry with her. "Excuse me? I was the one who dug those! I had to clean up my relatives bloodstaining mess!"

Fallon was shocked. "Wait, so they're you're brother and sister?"

He rolled his eyes and walked over to her and sat beside her. "Not excatly, Crash was my half-brother and Blackplague was my aunt. I had Crash's grave here since before he was killed, I tried to teach him to fight using that deathberry bush." He indicated the bush shadowing Crash's grave.

"My uncle was killed was by a cat. With reddish-brown fur like yours." Fallon sighed.

Snapdragon shuddered. He suddenly felt guilty for killing that brindle tom with blue eyes and the tortiseshell.

Fallon noticed the shudder. "What is it?"

Tears leaked out of Snapdragon's eyes. "It's not just my family that killed, I did too."

Fallon backed away. "What do you mean?"

"I,-" He paused. "Who's there?" Snapdragon hissed.

Fallon was freaked out. She knew what he meant, he killed her uncle, but he felt stupid for it. That was good.

Serpent sneered, gray eyes shinning. Behind them so much was masked, between pain, betrayal, and agony. And yet they remained cool, placid, as he padded forward.

"Awfully quick to react, aren't you? Father always said that meant you were up to something."
The pale tabby snapped, behind him his brothers Weasle and Split easing forward.

Weasle nudged his brother with a red tabby paw..
"Cool it, Serpent. Mind your own business."

Further in the back, Split nodded curtly at Snapdragon and Fallon.
"My apologies, strangers. We mean no harm in passing through. Is there...Something I can help you with?"
He suggested with a tilt of his chin.

"I would come to think that what he needs is nothing you can give, stranger."
The words themselves were light and airy, contrasting horribly with the thoughts of the, for the moment, unseen cat.
So weak. Worthless, look at him, mourning over what he has done, just like a typical commoner. How is he still alive in the rogue world, where it is killed of be killed? Must be a loner, because Father wouldn't allow weakness in his small band. Valeshadow I'm not to sure about, he stays in the tunnels all the time, and I doubt he is one of Zane's. Loner.
Long tail tip twitching ever so slightly, the mystery cat leaped down from where she had been, in the tree branches, and landed rather gracefully to the side of the cats. The one who was crying she knew, and the one who appeared to be in shock she knew as well. The strangers though, she had never seen before, which was why she had come here in the first place. After the death of her mother, Lazuli had become very shadowy, keeping away from everyone and everything. Two of her brothers had joined the clans, leaving only a few of the bunch left. Not that there weren't probably others out there.

Turning, she faced the group, revealing her full looks. A pure white base pelt, a blue head and neck, and various spots down her backbone. Light colored paws and tail, something that couldn't be exactly named. It wasn't that though, which would probably draw her attention. It was her eyes; a cold, yet bright mercury color. A color seen in one other cat, aside from her siblings. It was the color of Renegade's own orbs, and it was obvious that she was one of his children. First generation, actually, something that she had always been pleased about, secretly. Tilting her head slightly, cold eyes still flickering over the cats, although they lingered more so on the strangers then Fallon and Snapdragon, she appeared to be very faintly interested about the toms, although what she portrayed was not always what she felt. Yes, she did feel curious. A lot more then she was letting on.

"You three haven't been around for very long, have you? I've never seen you around before."
Manners had never been her thing, but at least Lazuli wasn't threatning anyone...yet. Her mood was bound to swing eventually toward the darker side, but for the moment, some of the traits which Renegade had tricked her mother Mouse were playing through. How much was real, and how much was fake, even she didn't know.

"Shove off." Snapdragon spat. He wasn't crouched for attack. He was just merely waiting for something else to happen.

Fallon's amber gaze snapped towards Lazuli. A faint growl rumbled in the back of her throat. She didn't like much of what was going on. One thing could be told by her dark brown pelt with white paws, ears and tip of tail, that she was Mosswater's kit.

"Cool it, like they said they're passing through." Snapdragon padded over to Fallon and laid his tail and her shoulder. He then whispered into her ear. "Be ready to jump on the bush." Fallon nodded her head and relaxed. Snapdragon smiled slightly at the toms. "Feel free to stay. It is a little boring without my dear siblings."

Fallon may have relaxed, but that didn't mean that she wasn't ready for something to happen.
