Ice blue eyes awoke from a deep slumber, imagining life itself. Kits, apprentices, warriors, the whole deal. Imagining her life and how she was able to become leader of Iceclan. It amazed her really out of all the great candidates she was chosen by starclan as the Leader, and just thinking about starclan brought a look of awe on her face. A slight yawn escaped from her maw, traveling through the clearing in an echo like fashion. "Ngh-- 'Morning world." she murmured to herself as she stretched her paws. Swiftstar stood in front of the entrance and exit to her den, viewing the outside world in all of its glory. "Ahh the view is beautiful." she took a deep breath and sighed, "As per usual". In the morning she tended to talk to herself about what was happening in her life, it helped her think and get her world together. Few cats spotted the clearing, as they stand in their groups and chatter. Some of them had just returned from hunting trips, "I hear that hunting trips are perfect for this time of year, all of the prey are outside warming themselves in the sun." poking her head outside of the den she continued "Although it is like torture for cats with long fur". Swiftstar laughed, "I might as well go take a look around the territory, maybe catch some prey." Her stomach rumbled mid-sentence.
A faint leap jolted her legs as they landed on the dusty terrain. Few warriors and apprentices caught sight of this and dipped their heads in respect, then when back along with their conversations. Swiftstar looked around padding across the clearing as apprentices and kits alike played games in the warmth of the day. A smile spreading across her face as their voices mewed in joy. Moments later she was outside of the clan camp, the scenery was beautiful, and the shade felt great this time of year. Rays of light covered her pelt, lighting up the darker grey portion. Rocks scattered the area, and the light green grass swayed with grace in the faint wind. Shaking up her pelt slightly, causing her to lick it down into place again. A rock stood out from the rest that she was particularly attracted too, well in the sense of rest. Her medium-ish fur swayed as she stepped towards the rock and landed on it. Her figure stood tall on the mighty stone, making her feel proud about her position in life. Closing her eyes she listened to the leaves crunching and the wind blowing past her ears, causing them to flinch. A sigh of relief formed as she calmly sat on the rock. It had taken a while to get to the perch she was sitting on currently, and her paws were slightly sore.

The desert colored tom breathed in the morning air. It was hot and dry but he loved it. Sageripple padded out of the den and watched the clan bustle about the camp. He smiled as he saw the kits and apprentices running around and rolling like Tumbleweeds. He chuckled and noticed that his clan could use some more prey. The Tom padded out of the camp and started towards the Rockhills in search of some prey.

Laying in the sun, basking in its seemingly immortal light that had existed far longer than any cat could even imagine. "Ahh.." a calm sigh of relief escaped from her mouth, rolling off the tongue with ease. Not really defenseless, but definitely not on guard, swiftstar some-what laid on the rock she had been previously perched on. Her ears twitched as the faint noise of leaves crunching and paws pressing into the damp dirt, assuming it was one of her clan's patrols, she didn't think much of it.

Sageripple cleared his throat. "Uh.. Swiftstar..? What are you doing?" The desert tom meowed tilting his head in confusion as he stared at the she cat across the border.

An unfamiliar voice made its way through the area that she had been resting and where the tom had appeared. Swiftstar's ears turned in the direction of the noise and her head jerked up. Blinking her eyes open and adjusting them to the light took a couple of moments. Her eyes were in slits from the light that had blinded her. Tilting her head downward to cast some shade on her face, she looked at the warrior across the border. She swiftly leaped off of the rock she had been on and stepped forward slightly, but she did not cross the border.
"I-I was just resting." her voice stuttered in embarrassment from the state she had been seen in by someone who wasn't even part of her clan! "It was a lovely day outside and I went for a walk.. that is all." her voice still held remnants of surprise and her eyes had yet to change from slits. "You are awfully close to the border as well, same occasion? Or are you trying to steal prey?" a slight growl formed when she suggested the second option. Tilting her head she awaited the anonymous tom's reply.

Sageripple shook his head. "No I'm not here to steal prey. I came to hunt yes, but I love puke the date steal prey from another clan. The best lizards can be found here. It's my go to place for hunting." He chuckled and padded closer to the border and sat down, but he didn't cross.

She waited for the Tom to finish his statement appearing patient on the outside, although she was very anxious about what he was saying internally. "o-oh" she stuttered in response "It is? In Iceclan territory prey is much more abundant near the camp, oddly enough." she laughed at her statement and his. "In fact, even near leaf-bare, you can find a prey and then it is like they all disappear." Swiftstar continued to chat with the other-clanner, even though she probably shouldn't have.
"It seems like you know who I am," she laughed again as she is a leader and most cats know of her "But who are you?" Swiftstar asked questioning him.

Sageripple smiled. "Im Sageripple. Warrior of Flameclan pleased to make your acquaintance." he meowed and stood bowing his head and moved the front half of his body down in a crouch and then resumed sitting.

Sageripple... honestly an amazing name. A name that if someone had a common one like "Brownpelt" they would surely be jealous. Her mind wandered away from the conversation as she contemplated in awe at his name. "If I'm being honest, I'd say that is an amazing name." She laughed sarcastically, "buuuuuut I don't think it is normal that a Leader of another clan compliments a warrior from another clan..." She laughed with a chuckle. Swiftstar smiled dipping her head as well, "Anyway, it is nice to meet you as well, Sageripple." her voice shown a sincere tone mixed with her happiness.

Sageripple laughed. "Thanks. Anyways how are things in Iceclan?" He meowed trying to make small talk.

Swiftstar quickly skimmed the area of any peering eyes, luckily there were none. The warrior code didn't necessarily say that it was against Starclan to talk to another cat from a different clan, but would that make you not being loyal to your clan? She wondered mid-conversation with the Tom. Swiftstar shook her head to focus back on his voice. "Great actually, the Fresh-kill pile has a lot of prey in it, I'd guess enough to feed the whole clan." she smiled continuing, "We have never gotten this much prey before near our camps which I can't say is a bad thing just a little odd is all.".
Her ice blue eyes continued to watch the Tom as she continued to speak. "I assume things are well in Flameclan?" Swiftstar judged by the tom's perky attitude and somewhat average figure.

Sageripple nodded. "Yep! We don't eat much due to the heat of the desert but we do eat from time to time so ow as out hunting for some lizards. I can show you how to hunt lizards if you'd like? They are quite tasty." The pale orange tom meowed.

A confusing yet clearly interested face formed because of his statements. "You eat lizards?" The molly's voice filled with intrigue. Her eyes darted to a lizard across the border that had ran into some undergrowth and disappeared with a rustle. "I didn't even know they were edible let alone good!" she replied extremely impressed.
"I would love to learn how to hunt lizards." Swiftstar smiled.

Sageripple purred in amusement at the Iceclan leader's curiosity. "Ok so. If you wanna come over onto this side I won't tell but there's loads more lizards here than on Iceclan's side if you wanna catch any." He meowed. He scanned the area until he saw a lizard nearby sunning itself in the early morning sun. He dropped into the lizard hunting crouch and silently crept forward leaping from one rock to the next soundlessly until he was within pouncing distance. He readied himself for the pounce and sprung. Quick as lightning he snapped the lizard up into his jaws and bit down until he heard the crunch of his neck.

The Iceclan leader darted her eyes to the ground, trying to avoid eye contact with the Tom. Whom she had clearly been thinking about in this confrontation a little too much. Swiftstar stared at the invisible line that had separated the two clans and gulped with anxiousness. Her body lifted as she padded towards the line, and her paws appeared moments later on the other side of the line. Hesitant at first, now just really interested. She looked up to the Tom and smiled as if she was a kit who was just able to leave the den. A very passionate smile was directed towards Sageripple, and her eyes were practically glowing with amazement.
This is so cool! I'm on the other side of the territory... she thought as he continued to speak.
She watched his display of catching a lizard, but honestly, he was moving so quick all she could see was the lizard getting killed at the end."So what do I do first?" excitement filling the air as she had the opportunity to learn something most cats in Iceclan wouldn't know.

Sageripple smiled as Swiftstar's eyes lit up. "Well first you gotta get into a crouch like this." The Tom meowed getting into the lizard hunting crouch which was haunches into the air and the front half of your body lowered so that your nose almost touched the ground. "Shift all the weight to your haunches and stalk forward." He meowed tossing the lizard he killed a few fox lengths forward and got into the crouch again.

She laughed and copied his movements moments after he did them. She raised her rump as he did and stalked forward slowly. Assuming she was supposed to wait and watch him leap for the lizard she kinda just sat there with her butt up.

Sageripple chuckled and readied himself for the pounce. He leaped from one rock to the other without making a sound and then pounced on the dead lizard. Turning to Swiftstar he meowed. "Alright you try now." He meowed and stepped aside and sat down to watch.

Nodding, she eyed the lizard. Continuing to lift her haunches reading her stance, she autonomously unsheathed her claws and pounced. Her leap was extraordinary as it was a fairly far distance. Her claws landed directly on top of the already dead lizard, tossing it into the air before hitting it once more and pinning it to the ground. She laughed at how exaggerated her catch was.
"W-was that good or too e-extra?" she laughed the whole time she spoke causing stutters.

Sageripple smiled. "Nah your good. You wanna try to catch an alive lizard now?" He meowed moving the dead lizard aside.
