Somehow, amidst the flood of panic for their situation, her irritation with Moonpaw's foolishness, and her self-directed blame as apprentice and medic emerged upon a small group of cats, the word "medic" managed to sink in and calm Starlight almost instantaneously. The relief that followed was almost as consuming as her panic had been. Still, the medicine cat skidded to a halt and blinked, carefully taking in the situation around them before dipping her head respectfully. "I am pleased to meet you, Boneclaw. I am called Starlight, and I too am a medicine cat. This is my apprentice, Moonpaw."
Starlight had been about to apologize for barging in on the cats like they had, but then remembered where they were. "Boneclaw, might I ask what you are doing on MountainClan territory? Few cats come this way, and those who do almost never belong to any clan."

Flightkit raised his head when he heard some distant yowling, concerned, it had been barely audible. Hunting warriors were supposed to be quiet, right?
"Mom, Breezekit, did you hear that?" he asked, hoping he was not overreacting. he hated being a kit sometimes. He wasn't often taken seriously, but, then again, when was he often serious. He would have laughed if he weren't so jumpy at the moment.
He strained his ears, listening for any other sounds from the strange forest around them. He also looked for some cat with authority, like Morningglory or the like, wondering weather to tell them or not. He hoped the warriors and Boneclaw were alright, but he also wanted to hear something again, make sure he wasn't imagining.....

Morningstar cocked her head to the side in confusion... Was that a far off yowl she'd heard in the distance? Padding towards the edge of the clearing where the group of scouts had set off, she strained her ears, listening for any more noises. When she'd heard nothing after a few moments, she sat, facing away from the clearing to listen and think.
Was she imagining the no use she's heard? Maybe she was. But something was telling her that it was more than just the over-active imagination she had been known for having as a kit... What if the cats had encountered a fierce rogue? Sure, they were all strong warriors, but they were weakened by battle and the long journey they had just finished...
No, she was worrying too much. She listened one more time, and upon hearing nothing, she stood up and walked through the cats, searching for an injured cat to help heal. No use sitting around and worrying when there were injured cats lying around.

Tigerpelt stood a step behind Boneclaw, feeling much less alarmed when he saw that the cats coming were quite small. It was even more relieving to hear the older one was a medicine cat. But, suddenly, he realized that this Starlight had said that they had crossed into a clan's territory. "Wait- there was another clan out here?" He hadn't meant to speak, but he was so surprised that the words just slipped out.
He'd never even considered that there could be other cats living in clans the way they had, or that they could be found in a few days' travel. (idk how long they were traveling... >__>; ) It was amazing, really... he hoped that they wouldn't be hostile, he wasn't ready for another fight and he was tired of running.

Flightkit saw Morningstar walking through the cats a little ways away, and, looking back to his family to be sure they weren't watching, he scampered to his leader.
"Morningstar!" he squeaked, and his tail bushed from embarrassment. "Morningstar, I thought I heard the cats that went to get food yowling a bit ago, did you hear it?" he said after skidding to her side.
"I'm not kidding, I swear, but you heard it too, right? Right? I'm not crazy, right?" He was talking kind of fast, he was exited.

Morningstar cocked her head to the side as the little kit ran up to her. So she wasn't crazy! Someone else had heard it too! "Yes, Flightkit. I as well heard the yowling. Worry not though, young one. Boneclaw and her patrol are all very strong cats. It is highly unlikely any sort of harm will come to them out here," she said, attempting to calm not only the small kit, but herself as well. Truthfully, she was truly worried about the patrol of cats. The thought once again crossed her mind that the cats were weakened by battle and the journey...
No! She was overreacting again. No harm would come to her clan again... Not if she could help it.

Boneclaw looked a bit confused (but was a bit relieved when her Clanmate stepped up behind her) and she pulled her head up from the bow. "I did not realie this was Clan territory. We were only passing through on our way from-" She stopped. She really had no eason to tell these cats why they were fleeing their homeland.
And if she was truly a medic, she wouldn't attack them. They would be safe here. For now...

"As a medicine cat, you and your accompaniment are more than welcome on our territory," Starlight quickly assured the other cat. She hadn't meant to accuse them of trespassing. "But, as I said, few come this way. I only wish to hear what brings you this way, so that I can report fully to Wildstar--our leader. Again, I promise none of our member would harm or impede a medicine cat, Boneclaw." Why did that name sound more familiar every time she said it? Surely Starlight had never heard this stranger's name before.

The tiny brown cat looked back over her shoulder toward the cave her Clanmates were staying in before turning back to the black cat before her. "Perhaps it would be best if I relayed the story myself. or perhaps it would be better if we just passed through your territory without another encounter. We mean no harm. All we want is to be safe. But I understand your desire to know more about us. If strange cats had showed up in IceClan territory father would surely have wanted to know every detail possible."
She dipped her head respectfully. "I should request to come back with you and your apprentice to speak with your Wildstar. Perhaps I could bring my friend with me to help relay our story. She is a queen and means no harm."
**I can take out the bit about Sandflower if Lighty isn't up to RPing at the moment. i just rememebr she was originally coming a long so...**

Starlight's head was swimming. IceClan? Now that definitely rang a bell. Ice...
The medicine cat gasped. "Sleetfoot," she breathed, finally realizing. Sleetfoot had come from some clan called IceClan. And he had probably mentioned Boneclaw before, and that was why it had sounded so familiar.
((Well, this is officially not going as planned. On so many levels. Oh well.))

Tigerpelt stood by as the medicine cats conversed, his head turning to look at each as they spoke. After Boneclaw mentioned her clan's name, this... Starlight? Yeah... Starlight's face lit up with recognition.
He looked back over to Boneclaw, the name Sleetfoot did sound vaguely familiar. But as a former member of FireClan, not IceClan, the other cat was definitely the one to speak to. Perhaps it was a former clanmate who'd gone to this clan because of the fighting. But then, had he or she deserted their clan, their friends, their leader? Some kind of loyalty that was!
OOC:// I send Tigerpelt along, right? Plus I doubt he'd let Boneclaw go unguarded.. //

**Actually Bluesky we were gonna have Sandflower come along but Lighty's kinda... outish :/**
Boneclaw's ears twitched. This other cat seemed to recognize her Clan's name. And then she shouted out a second name-the name of her lost brother. The tiny cat's eyes widened as she took in what was happening. She knew her brother was going to the mountains but it never occurred to her that he had found a Clan here to live with. She stepped forward. "You know my brother?"

"I know a white tom with blue eyes by the name of Sleetfoot," Starlight clarified, speaking slowly. She could scarcely believe this--whatever this might be--was happening! It must be the guidance of StarClan... "He came to MountainClan from a different clan, IceClan." Starlight shook her head. "I suppose, then, that this means I must bring you to see Wildstar. But first, you mentioned a friend. Just how many of you are there, and where are the others, Boneclaw? I cannot just ignore a group of cats on the fringes of our territory."

Her heart was pounding, but she knew that she had to tell her father she was going and that the other Medic would want to meet the rest of her Clan. "There are about fifteen of us. We have settled into a cave not far from here for the night." She turned to lead Starlight and Moonpaw toward the cave.

Starlight glanced down at her apprentice, hesitating. Whatever was bothering her, she seemed to come to a decision fast. Confidence in her posture, Starlight beckoned Moonpaw to follow and strode after the strangers. Sending the apprentice back towards camp now would do little good. Better to confirm Boneclaw's story and see this cave for themselves before sending Moonpaw off to warn Wildstar.
