My Anxiety Keeps Me Silent || Open, Joiner

[RHINESTONE.]

Although he would more than likely never admit it to anyone, Rhinestone was honestly a bit surprised with how he had acted after the hurricane. Had he been just a bit younger or a bit more cowardly, he probably would've abandoned everything at the first sign that he was the only senior warrior left. However, he had grown, and the hurricane wasn't something that Palmclan was unable to overcome. It wasn't some massive attacking force, like in Penumbra's case. No, instead, it was just a disaster. Horrible, but something they could recover from, and they were already well on their way to that recovery. It made him proud, and it also made him surprised about his own confidence, even if he did have secrets he still couldn't share with anyone else.

In the back of his mind, the leader had always figured that they weren't the only clan out there. After all, it wasn't as if their founders were the only felines that had gotten the thought to band together. However, aside from Sugarspice, he had yet to meet a joiner who bore a clan name, let alone someone with a past such as Penumbra. When the mixed and musty scent of Penumbra's group and her travels reached Rhinestonestar's nose, he was struck with a mixture of curiosity, and worry. He could only hope that, whoever Penumbrarunner was, she didn't represent a threat to his clan. Taking a deep breath inwards, the sunset colored tom moved off towards the scent, having to stop himself when he noticed Penumbra's form slinking forward through the trees, towards their inner territory. He hesitated a moment before he spoke, voice firm, "Hey! I mean... hello. Sorry, I just... needed your attention. You're on the territory of Palmclan right now. Would you mind telling me your name, and why you're here?" The male kept his muscles tensed, ready to stand his ground or leap forward, claws out, if the other feline turned out to be an enemy.
