LIKE THE KING SAID + o, joining

[Luca]

Luca found it odd, the ways that clans would let pretty much anyone in. They didn't even test loyalty or scan memories, but then again, if anything happened the attacker would surely be outnumbered. Luca knew he couldn't take on a whole clan on his own, especially with his powers malfunctioning. Perhaps he could manage it over time, acting as a spy for another clan or slowly poisoning the water supplies, but honestly he saw no point. Luca liked it here, despite the shaky start, and would try to stay out of causing too much trouble for now. He walked slowly along the beach, the crunch of sand beneath his paws and the general ambience of the island comforting his busy mind. He continued onward until a semi-familiar voice caught his attention, bringing his rose gaze upwards from the sand. Oh, speaking of trouble, there was Pincher. But he wasn't alone, there was someone unfamiliar at the border as well. Luca squinted a little in an attempt to make them out, trying to decide whether or not he should approach. It was fun to flirt, but he often forgot that monogamy was such a big deal for some folks. It seemed that he had overstepped some invisible boundary with his behaviour. Maybe it would be best to stay away from the handsome feline for now.

Still, as much as he wanted to avoid getting on everyone's most hated list within his first week, he thought that maybe it would be beneficial to go meet that stranger. The more the merrier, right? So he turned, heading towards the pair. He stopped behind Pincher, sitting down with posture that would have made his mother screech at him. He couldn't find it in himself to act all proud anymore, sitting with his back straight and head held high. He knew the ground was a much more fitting place for him, so he kept his head low. There wasn't much to do other than wait for this dignified stranger to answer Pincher's question, so he waited, staring her down with those unnaturally bright eyes of his.
