Leave her, Johnny! // Warrior's Plight

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

When Hurricane had originally left camp with the intention to go and start the journey of his Warrior's Plight, Rhine had expected the other to be back before too long. After all, Palmclan's territory was large, but it wasn't unmanageable, and it wasn't as if one couldn't cover it all in a few hours if they moved quickly. Of course, when the sun had begun to dip down against the horizon in the distance, Rhinestone had begun to grow a bit worried. Maybe Hurricane had gotten lost somewhere? Or maybe he had gotten in trouble with one of the other groups? Many unpleasant possibilities swirled in the leader's head, causing him to sigh and push himself up to his paws. He was tired from the morning's long hunting patrol, but it wasn't as if he was about to just let one of his members stay missing. He wasn't that type of leader, and he doubted there were many out there that would – at least, not if they were respected enough to have become leaders. Thankfully, it didn't seem as though the tom would need to go far to find the large and fluffy feline that was Hurricane. Rhine succeeded in only taking about two steps before Hurricane came back into camp, his chest puffed out proudly as he ushered for others to follow after him.

Of course, Rhinestonestar had decided that he would be one of the ones accompanying the new warrior, for multiple reasons. One of them being that he didn't want to risk anything happening, and the other being that he was just curious about what Hurricane had managed to find. It seemed almost impossible that Hurricane had managed to find such a structure off the shore, but then again, it was also clear that the other really did love exploring. Despite this, Rhinestone couldn't help the faint shock that was on his face as they all approached the ship, his pale eyes growing wide as he looked over the wreck. Growing a bit closer to the massive structure, Rhine hesitated for only a moment before he turned to Hurri, grinning, "Hurricane, this is definitely an amazing place to choose as your favorite spot... and you're right about it being a good last resort in case of danger. The entire thing must've been dragged in further inland by the hurricane..." He had never gone exploring the shore so close to the Twisted Forest, usually too terrified of the prospect of what he would find there, so the nearly beached ship certainly was a discovery. Continuing to let his gaze wander over the deck and the hull, Rhinestone mused softly, "This thing really is massive... how many twolegs do you suppose they had on this thing at once?" It was more of a rhetorical question, since he didn't expect anyone to know the history of such ships – Hurricane knowing about them from his father was probably the most knowledge any of them had.
