Thistle had been laying low for quite some time. After their meeting with that RiverClan molly, everything seemed to go to dung. They distinctly remember one night the moon had been swallowed up by darkness, and since then...shadows had been moving, eyes blinking back at them and watching their every move, and it seemed like they kept getting glimspes of dead cats. Thistle wasn't one to deny any possibility of something happening, but ghost cats? That one...was a little bit of a stretch, even for them.

The mottled, spiky-furred molly did their best to stay away from the ghost cats, but they just had to know, how were the Clans doing? Surely they knew about the ghosts and the moon disappearing, right? In their wandering, they found themself on a stretch of grassy land, a meadow now in the blossoming Newleaf. There was the scent of rabbits and hares, partridges and quails, and Clan cats. This scent was different from RiverClan however, more...earthy and grassy, and something like a fresh breeze.

Thistle hunched down in the tall grass as they padded along, hoping to find a Clan cat to talk to. They wanted to know what was going on, and of course if it was something serious, they wanted to help if they could. This meadow, though...it was dreamy and calm. The Circle cat smiled to themself, whiskers twitching. They wouldn't mind staying here a while.

But, they had something to do. Blinking, they refocused their vision, picking up the pace into a trot. The fronds of grass brushed their fur as they spread their scent around, hoping to attract the attention of anyone. Anyone except those creepy ghost cats.

It was supposed to be a simple day today. Just training apprentices, spying and working for Shrikestorm. Perhaps she would share some food with Hawkheart later. It had been a simple day so far, and it was nice. Shrikestorm had sent her out to check something in particular, and she obediently obeyed. Ears perked, she listened for sound and frequently tested the air for smells. Nothing of note to her, until the taste of an unfamiliar cat, came on the breeze. Her fur immediately bristled as Coyotegrin started tracking the scent without hesitation. Soon, she came across a pale brown cat she had never seen before. Her pawsteps quiet, the cat did not see or hear her yet. They didn't look dead, like a Dark Forest or ghost. They didn't look threatening as Morningstar's crew- and they didb't have the same scent. The warrior tracked the intruder for a little while; they looked lost but not threatening. Still, it was an intrusion.

Picking up her speed, Coyotegrin circled around to their side, a good tail lengths away. Picking up speed, she raced through the grass before launching herself at their side, toppling them down together. Quickly she stood, staring down at the intruder. Claws drawn, she pulled her lips into a snarl. "Who are you and what are you doing on WindClan territory?" She demanded, making it clear she was unhappy.

Thistle let out a squeak of surprise as they were bowled over, tumbling into the dirt. They stared up at the Clan cat with wide eyes--where did she come from?--before breathing a sigh of relief when the molly got off. They carefully rolled onto their stomach to protect the soft spot, noting the aggressive posture of the other cat.

Their own voice measured, careful, they offered her a polite smile. "It's so nice to meet another Clan cat! WindClan, you said? So I think I'm in the right place...Your territory is beautiful, by the way. Oh, where are my manners? My name is Thistle. Have you seen those creepy shadow cats lately? I was worried...Is your Clan okay?" The spiky-furred cat blinked up at her, genuine concern in their eyes. They really did want to help, but if they weren't allowed to...So be it.

Coyotegrin studied the outsider, named Thistle and took in the subtle notes about the cat. Their demeanor wasn't aggressive- they maintained their position on the ground, suggesting that they had no intent to keep fighting. There was genuine concern in their eyes and so eventually, Coyotegrin relaxed her posture but did not move from her station above the cat. She would question them further before giving up her advantage. The warrior mulled over the situation with the Dark Forest cats. It would be even more strange and scary as an outsider. Eventually, after a few heartbeats, Coyotegrin relented the information requested. "My name is Coyotegrin, and yes, WindClan is beautiful. The shadowy cats are Dark Forest cats. They've invaded all of the clans. WindClan is doing... fine for the situation." She was hesitant to divulge everything going on.
