Lurking almost silently among the frosted forest was the well-muscled male, his sensitivity pointed in the direction of the oncoming wind; with it did it bus a passenger of idiosyncratic, exotic fumes in which were his liking, thus creating the notion in his mind of a simple time when he belonged to a clan, and in that clan did he recall being nothing more than a regular passerby. No, of course, this didn't place a threat upon his flesh, but the scent did carry the times where he recalled wandering around for hours after his father upon the hunt. "Prey...," He was never skilled at hunting, nor had he been around his own kin in a'many years; it had begun to take a toll on him, for he didn't know the basic rules of submission or serenity, he only knew how to be the way he'd always been, and in a world where everyone was sought to be perfect... He was the crack in the porcelain. A fighter was a fighter, or at least that was how the clan had written it. Yet there was little hesitation for these sorts of matters, for the more he pondered on his past the less he knew of himself. He should focus on the now, the damp wooded now, the damp wooded now that was filled with fumes and white stripes. What had that been, anyway? Mayhaps his sight was failing him, but he imagined it as a weasel or mink, something of the silky breed. 

Though it wasn't too far after had his paws and thoughts begun to wander once more, powdered orange visionaries carried hints of mirrored sympathy, for himself and for those who didn't understand his emotional handicap. He could give love, kindness, hope, though his noble intelligence would not allow him to receive worth that would hurt him in the long run, such things were pointless and he wished not to be abandoned again. Why was he thinking so much all of a sudden? Hadn't he woken up to hunt? No, wait, he hadn't woken up all... When was the last time he'd rested his eyes? Where was the clan? Exactly where had he gotten himself this time? Perhaps he should go back home? No, no, that would make him appear weak and an ex-lead fighter certainly wasn't of that type. He'd be fine, he wasn't too far... Theoretically, speaking. "Badger, it's a badger." His body continued to march forward, massive shoulders rolling as he lived through the day and night with his shield and sword polished and stern. Was he simply bigger from the winter or was he still thickening up with more layers of flex? He sighed, bursting forward and allowing his masculine scents to mingle with that of the creature running past him in a flash of squeals and colors. 

Decaying bodies, rotting flora, just death in general. He wrenched backward, lips parting in a snarl as the animal finally revealed itself... A skunk. How had he been so blind? The scent could be taken as stench, maybe intoxicating, all he knew was he'd registered this strange animal before, as a scent of course. Head thrashing, body breaking every particle of life around him, he already felt the body of the skunk crush underneath his flank as he fell to his side in pain. The initial sound startled him, thus his body jolted up and as though he hadn't made enough sound: "Bloody hell, my eyes! For the love of all things good and holy--," He skidded to a halt, enormous paws grasping the ground in pits of dirt his claws had made. He'd almost ran dead smack into a tree, something he did not want to do considering he was hoping to return to his den in one, not-so-smelly piece. It was a little too late for that...

A slight breeze ruffled the tabby's fur. Bright green orbs flickered from tree-to-tree as she collected the tansy from the plant garden she had planted moons ago. Of course, the garden had been for the clan, but she had been banished for few idiot reasons. she and her friend, best friend, lionsun, were banished because the leader had a thought, and the lying fool of a deputy fed the leader lies about them, taking their friendship and bending it into a romance, even though, they had definitely not been involved. the previous medicine cat cursed under her breath after snagging her claw on a root that ran through the undergrowth, and then she heard it.

Lionsun yelled from across the forest, loud enough for even a twoleg to hear. She paused, her eyes moving swiftly to the direction of his shout. She dropped the tansy at her feet and began sprinting toward the scent and sound of her companion. As she grew closer, his scent was masked in a scent like no other, obviously skunk. She slowed down her pace, her ears plastered to the back of her head. Her emerald visionaries traveled across the clearing where Lionsun stood, his face turned in the other direction. She padded over quickly, wrinkling her nose at the aroma of her friend. She stood, her eyes turned angrily on him, "Lionsun!" she scolded, "It's going to take weeks to get that stench off of you..." she muttered, scanning him over, and rolling her eyes "C'mon, let's get you to the river to get the worst of it out." She mewed, laying her tail on his back lightly. She nodded toward his eyes, "And we can rinse your eyes out to." She added, relaxing her shoulders just a bit before leading him towards the river.

The tom was derailed, stunned by the sudden touch of the lithe, herb-scented molly. No, it wasn't out of fear or terror, but merely due to the fact that anyother day she probably would have left his skunk-covered ass high and dry; alone and blind to fend for himself. Though he supposed it was only naturally now that they were under the same name but with different meanings. Getting kicked, no, banished from the only place they'd ever known does something to a person. Wheather is makes them mad with rage and revenge, or depressed with thoughts of 'why', is something that he liked to imagined was up to the person; and for them, it had stregnthened the exact thing that got them banished in the first place: their bond. "I was going to ask how you found me, but I'm going to place my bets on the screams of bloody murder followed by the smell of death and decay?" He chuckled softly, but then it erupted into into a bunch of dorky snorts as his paws overlapped with hers, he tried his best to walk along with her, and although he wasn't blind it was clear he couldn't see very well. The brute turned to look at her, eyes crossed and ears flopping around on his massive head. He hoped they were getting close to the river soon, his eyes were starting to sting and water. "Not to rush you, but are we getting close?"

Fawnleap looked down at her paws, trying to contain the short bursts of laughter that erupted from her muzzle,"Well, seeing as though you yelled louder than a monster going down the Thunderpath, I would say that's a yes." she mewed, giggling quietly. As she led him down the pathway, she felt the touch of his paws on her own and her cheeks heated ever so slightly when they intertwined together. Of course, after they had left Fawnleap began to grow closer to the male, and they decided sticking together was the best idea for their survival. The two kept becoming more and more friendly to each other, and for Fawnleap to the point she began to feel a fluttering in her stomach when he was near her, or when he turned his soft orange eyes to face her own green visionaries, her heart began to pound like it was trying to beat out of her chest. She was interrupted from her thoughts by his voice, and she turned her head. "Oh, yes, we're here" she said, quickening her pace and speeding towards the riverbank.

She helped him across the dirt and into the sand, where she helped him into the cold water. Before he had a chance to protest she mewed sternly, "Put your face in the water and blink a few times, that should help get the... stuff, out of your eyes." She sat down on the river's edge, and watched him, tense in case she needed to jump in to save him.

Those wild whiskers of his began to wiggle and wind as he looked over at her, taking in every word she said with a look on his face that said 'but why?'. He let out a soft sigh, looking down at the water and then back at her once again... Was she serious? She wanted him to dunk his face in that? She was the doctor, after all, not to mention there wasn't much more he could do unless he wanted to walk around both blind and smelly. He snorted, sitting down and leaning himself down only to stumble over those massive paws and land face-first into the water. A yelp escaped his maw, claws slashing the water and tail waving around much like that of a beaver before he finally managed to grip onto a large rock that was in the middle of the suddenly terrifying water. He pulled himself up on the rock, shaking out his sunset pelt and mumbled under his breath. He was positive Fawnleap was laughing her arse off by now, but if she was he couldn't hear her with all the damn water in his ears. "Do you think I blinked enough?" He yelled into the wind, stepping forward as to step off the rock, only to once again trip over his paws and fall face-first back into the river... But this time was a bit different, this time as he yowled in angst he couldn't seem to grip onto anything and before he knew it he was being swept away in the current. Of course, he didn't know this, he couldn't see with all that fur in his face. "Fawnleap?"

Fawnleap snickered slightly as he fell face-first into the water, her eyes were alight with mischief as he clambered onto the rock and yelled out to her. She smiled, she couldn't keep from laughing this time. His golden and ginger fur clung to his face, sticky and wet, and she yelled out a response that was probably barely audible to the soaking tom, "I think you missed a spot!" she meowed, her tail curled around her paws. She smiled and looked back at her paws, her fur blowing slightly in the wind. She sighed lightly and looked up again, to find her eyes greeted with an awful scene.

She hadn't heard her name yelled into the wind, she had been too lost in her thoughts to notice Lionsun struggling down the river. She jumped up and froze for a moment, she didn't know how to swim very well, but to save her friend, it was a risk she had to take. Her heart pounded with adrenaline as she rushed into the water, her feet trying to circulate the water to keep her head above. She cursed, struggling to get her head to get above the water as Lionsun was washed farther down the river. She pushed as hard as she could to get to him, her eyes wide with horror and fear for her friend. Fawnleap neared Lionsun, the golden-furred cat was thrashing around, trying to grab onto something. The healer pulled forward and grabbed Lionsun's scruff with her jaws, grunting at the effort. He was almost twice the size of her, and the river was not making it any better. She pulled him across the river, which was not that wide, and her claws gripped the soil and she clawed her way up the bank, her body slowly weakening at the effort of pulling the golden tabby out of the water. Her muscles strained to drag him up, and she dropped him on the bank, her legs weak and sore, and her fur cold and plastered to her body.

She coughed, hacking up water and fur out of her throat she leaned into the ground with her forelegs, her neck bent in an arch and spitting out fur. She looked up slightly and glanced at the wet Lionsun, who was doing the same, "You twit.." She muttered, her eyes returning back to her own paws and her claws sheathing and unsheathing on the soil. Her fur was still plastered to her skin and she shivered, the wind on her back seemed like ice shards hitting it with every gust that blew past.

He was astonished by how steady paced she'd set out upon her short quest to find where his pathetic, drowned cries leaked from, even more so that he'd decided to let his guard down. It wasn't every day he was himself, he gained his confidence in small strides and big leaps, some coming rarely while others trailed up his spine and wriggled down to his collapsing heart. He looked onward for a few moments, trying to breathe in her lingering scent and hold it close as he always did. It seemed she'd always had a better day than he did, up until the point his lungs pulled in the scent of his own clinging stench upon her frightened, freezing back. He'd been so impertinent, so contumelious to her, to how she was huddled around him with supportive arms, though he could tell she was being standoffish; oh but his goofy smile began to peak through his wet fur and a warm purr drenched the mood.  It was his job to change emotions, to revive happiness, even if he was in pain. "I don't mean to offend, my dove, but I don't recall asking you to save me... For all you know, I was merely attempting to woo you with my wonderful underwater ballet." He gave a small chuckle, muscular frame wicking off the water as he shook his body to and fro. Was she laughing yet? Was she smiling? She had to be, he had to hear that melody spill from her lips... But she only stood there, rather reluctantly and filled with worry. Why? H-Had he did something wrong?


His massive paws beckoned toward her, ears flattening against his skull and tail wagging much like a scared puppy. He whimpered gingerly, maw flinching and twisting with words he was too scared to say. He wanted her closer to him, he needed to feel her heat defrost his depression and lust for a better soul. "Hey, um, Fawn..." He spat out, mind wandering around the environment until his voice landed upon the river. He didn't like ignoring or avoiding Fawn, but he wasn't entirely sure how to explain to the female what the hell his mind had gone through in the past week. How much he loved her, how thankful he was to have her put up with him. How did she do it anyway? Put up with him? With a heavyhearted sigh, he let a fragile smile press to his lips, laying his head on her shoulder, but then moving his frame under her in attempts to host her onto his back. "Let's go home, okay?" He felt his body quake in disappointment over his words, chest heaving with every word he held inside of his heart. It was too soon, not now. They needed to leave and get warm, the day was ending and the only thing they'd, well, the only thing he'd done was get sprayed by a skunk trying to impress her with dinner and fall into a river twice. Yeah. Sounded like him.

Everything was tired. Her paws felt numb against the moist earth, her legs were weak and wobbly and felt like collapsing. Vowing to never, ever swim again, Fawnleap heard her name, which by now using it was a sign of danger or something happened to them. She spun around, her emerald visionaries searching Lionsun for something, something that wasn't there, and relaxed her tense muscles. Lowering her eyes to the ground and sitting down, taking a shaky breath and her voice barely above a whisper, "Yah?" Golden-brown fur covered her vision for a second, and moved under her as he suggested going home, she only nodded and let the bigger male carry her, her thoughts drifted endlessly as he hauled her back home, and she marveled at his strength, surely he felt just as weak as she did, but he continued on, and she felt herself slipping into the darkness and her dreams enveloped her.
