[color=#FF7F50]quiet her gaze, looking at the tom of russet tone, his breath about his whiskers, her own ears laying back as she shivered, silver droplets of fluid dripping from her fur, eyes saddened as she held in a tight breath wrought by grief and fear. she didn't know where she was, only that there were others in the area of where she had woken upon the shores. words that he spoke, her mind did it's best to form them into something that she could understand, for it had been so long since she had heard this tongue. legs locked still, she exhaled shakily, slowly going over his words, eyes caught on his russet pelt similar to her own although shades darker and more like the cathod that she knew of back home, the offspring of such often finding their way into her room back home. looking down at herself, she noticed her paws and shivered, grateful that this body was one she knew. his tone was soft and gentle, he didn't look like he was about to attack her and he wasn't them. he was safe ... in a world of unknowns and threats at every pawstep. to her tired and sensitive ears, he sounded soft spoken, and that was something that she could certainly get used to. cautiously stepping towards rhinestonestar, her head down and shoulders drooping, she did her best to imitate a harmless demeanor, ears dripping wet from where the tide had washed her upon shore.

fuzzy her thought process, slow was the inner translation, his words asking her if she was in need of aid, and what she assumed might be his name. once close enough, she lifted a weary paw to place against her chest, "bir ... bird.", there, her nickname should suffice, it was all she felt comfortable with telling him, kind as he may be. it was the closest to the language that twisted upon her tongue every time she had spoken it as a wee child. observing as he sat back and pointed in one direction, she tipped her head out of curiosity. did he mean for her to follow him? flicking her ears as she pondered what he meant, her attention was taken by a smaller cathod, a cath fach that approached her. bending her head to sniff the child, she purred from the depths of her throat, recognizing the innocent gesture of comfort. rasping her tongue over his head, the caracal purred, remaining still as foamkit twined himself between her legs, his soft milky scent tender on her nose, his tail a soft tickle against her chin as she basked in his child's scent, relaxing. if there was a child here, surely it must be a safe place? turning her gaze back up to rhinestonestar, she purred as loudly as she dared, wondering if she was saying this right, "sa ... safe?", she didn't feel like getting attacked for being near this child, lovely as he was.

the presence of the dark furred male caused her fur to begin to rise on her flanks, turning her blue eyed gaze on the warrior, calming herself with a lick to her shoulder fur, licking it down flat. she didn't know him, but from the way his words sounded to her, he was not happy, and he did not like her being there. keeping her ears standing, she fought the growl working it's way to her throat. she didn't know why she was here either, and she was oddly upset by the fact that she could not remember their language despite having heard it before. looking down at the kit, she flicked her ears with a twitch of her tail, did he not like her being close to the child? oh. that was the second time she had heard that ... word? 'friend' was that what it was? ffrind, yes, that had to be it. friend. she huffed softly, shaking her pelt, looking hauntingdream in the eye as she spoke, "ffrind. bird, friend.", the caracal mewed, dismissing his other words, far too complex for her mind to handle at the time. she looked back down at the child smiling up at her and smiled back down to him, rubbing at her eyes to dismiss the tears, courage building in her heart, "friend", she assured him softly.
