[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

In some ways, it was difficult for Rhinestone to understand Medusa's plight. After all, he had lived within Palmclan for his entire life, and he was probably one of the most standard felines you'd meet in terms of appearance. Thankfully, the leader was pretty good at sympathizing with others, even if he couldn't fully understand what they were going through. He had been making a valiant attempt to prevent anyone from looking at Medusa strangely, or making her feel uncomfortable, but it was difficult. Palmclan was still a traditional group at heart, and some were irritated with him for letting in strange creatures and hybrids. He could only hope that exposure would lead to some level of change, or he would be forced to reprimand those who weren't cooperating in the next meeting. The group as a whole wouldn't have been alive if it hadn't been for new and unusual people joining after the hurricane had struck. It was only proper that they show them the respect and friendliness that they deserved. If anyone wasn't doing that, it would not only reflect badly on themselves, but also on the group as a whole, and could ultimately lead to their undoing.

This was what had led to Rhine leaving after Medusa when he noticed her practically fleeing the camp. He went off to hunt for a while, figuring that the other could use some time alone before he talked to her. By the time he eventually approached her at the beach, he had two rather plump mice clenched in his jaws. Padding over, he put the mice down carefully, purring in greeting to Medusa, "Hello Medusa... you looked like maybe you could use a good meal. Might put a smile on your face." It was impossible not to notice the sigh that had left her, and Rhine wanted to change that. Curling his own tail around his paws, the leader then questioned, "How has Palmclan life been treating you so far...? Not too harshly, I hope..." He could only hope her sorrow wasn't entirely caused by her surroundings. Although, if it was, it might be easier for him to help, given his position within the clan.
