I still remember. -- O; Encounter

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

For all Rhinestone knew, Medusa was gone. The hybrid had been one of his close friends, and he wouldn't have hesitated to call her a best friend, if asked, even with the issues that they had been having. However, he had no idea that there was any possibility of her coming back, so he was left in a state of grieving, having to hold himself together for the good of his clan. Once some time had passed, and things were a bit less hectic... then he would be able to allow himself to break down. To truly feel everything that needed to be felt. Much like he would finally be able to allow himself rest for his sickness once everything calmed down – even if there was a part of him that knew such a time would never come. Regardless of any of that, when the ruddy feline came upon someone unfamiliar on the territory, he was obviously cautious, not taking too kindly to trespassers. He was never outright hostile, but considering how far the Healer was into their territory... he couldn't help feeling wary. It was because of this that he raised his voice, tail lashing behind him, "H-Hey! I don't mean to be rude, but... who are you, and what are you doing on Palmclan territory? I assume you must've been able to smell our border markers..." Rhinestone's voice sounded thick as he came to a seat nearby, his head still stuffed up and slightly dizzying due to exhaustion and sickness. He could only hope that this newcomer wouldn't notice it – particularly if they were unfriendly.
