[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

Another day, another joiner, and another chance for Foamkit to be out on his own. It seemed that it had become routine for Rhine to be drawn from his den by the child, following after the scent as it inevitably led out of camp. Truthfully, the leader wasn't even sure how the other kept escaping so easily, considering how many times Rhinestone had reminded the guards of his nature. Either way, the rusty red tom wasted no time in leaving camp, dark paws sinking against the warm sand as he traveled along the shore, eventually coming to where Foamkit was standing. The boy was wearing a grin expression, as if he was making some attempt to make himself seem intimidating in the presence of another. Rhine just chuckled, beginning to speak to the boy as he draped his tail over his back to calm him, "Foam, what are you doing? You're not supposed to be all the way out here on your own, not to mention that face. What are you even looking a– oh." The feline was startled from his casual speaking by the presence of another, and not a particularly small other, either.

The scent that clung to the other's fur was distinctly not of Palmclan, but at least the tom didn't feel too threatened. Not yet, anyways. Aiza was large, but he also seemed relaxed, simply laying in their sands and clearly waiting for the presence of another. He didn't seem to be looking for trouble, something that Rhine was grateful for. After a moment of hesitation, the leader spoke up, tail flicking and twitching behind him, "...Hello there. My name is Rhinestonestar, and I'm the leader of Palmclan. This beach is actually part of Palmclan territory... may I ask your name, and whether or not you're here to join?" Rhine kept on his usual polite and welcoming tone, despite the small amount of anxiety that was rising in his chest. He knew that Aiza was doing nothing to act threatening or dangerous, but Rhinestone could still remember being warned over and over of the threat of canines, with their powerful bites, and strong legs carrying them quickly across long distances.
