The white tom crouched lower in the ground as he prepared to leap as the two mice came scurrying his way. He drew back his lips in a snarl and pounced upon the them. He held them fast by their tails and delivered the killing blow to their necks as he saw Jadedgaze do. He bit down upon flesh, bone and fur. A shiver ran down his spine as new tastes went into his mouth. He had never been introduced to this kind of food before and it kind of made him a little sick, yet at the same time he enjoyed it. The feral side in him was coming out slowly day by day.

She smiled," Great! Your not a bad hunter Airheart!" She purred. Her sweet and gentle voice had some flirtiness in it but not much. She had grown to know the tom. He was very nice and sweet. He was a little shy and quiet too. But hanging around her, he would come out of his shell quickly.

"T-Thank you, that means a lot especially coming from a cat who has lived in a clan all their life. Say I wanted to ask you, does the clan have different terminology for certain things such as say noon?" Now that he was slowly becoming acostumed(sp?) to the life of a clan cat, the only logical thing for him to do was to make sure he was saying this correctly. He twitched his nose as a bunch of fur was still in his mouth. He screwed up his face in disgust and quickly tried to spit it out before he threw up. Turning back to Jadedgaze he smiled meekily, "Sorry about that."

She laughed as he spit out the air," It's okay. Noon? We say Dawn for when the sun is coming up. Sunhigh for when the sun is at the highest part in the sky. Dusk for when the sun goes down." She smiled," Do you know the moons?" She asked, he would have to know how to speak if he was a clan cat.

"Oh ok so basically the time terminology is the same. So you clan cats call noon sunhigh? Got it. Moons? I didn't know we had more than one moon? Do you mean the phases of the moon? Then if that is the case then yes, I do know it." This was all starting to get very interesting for him. Hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to remember all of the proper clan vocabulary instead of one who is a kitty-pet.

" Okay then. What do you call kittypets owners?" She asked. Licking a paw and drawing it over her ear. She sat down and looked at Airheart through her jade colored gaze. She smiled, he was coming along nicely.

"Oh you mean the people who used to take care of me. Well we don't have any specific name for them, we just call them what they are--humans. Out of curiousity, why is is necessary to know about the phases of the moon?" He couldn't help but smile at Jadedgaze as she smiled at him. He twitched his whiskers aimlessly as he sat down in the warm grass.

She smiled," Well we call them twolgs. And we call cats that live with them, kittypets." She smirked as she told him about their names, it was like having kits! "Well at halfmoon the medicine cats go to share with Starclan. At fullmoon is when we have gatherings. You just missed one."

"Woah, woah, woah, hold up. Starclan? What in the world is that? And what is up with this 'gathering' you speak of?" This was getting quite too much. What in the world was Starclan? And how do the medicine cat's speak to them? This day was just getting better and better.

She laughed," Starclan are the clans ancestors. Medicine cats go to the Moonpool every half-moon to share with them to see if they have news for their former clans." Her jade colored gaze sparkling as she spoke of the Moonpool and Starclan," Gatherings are every full moon. The clans gather in peace under it and share what has happened in the past moon." She purred.

"Oh, I see. But why would the clans only want to meet one night for peace? Aren't we all peaceable cats?" OK, so the basic concept of Starclan was still a litttle new but it was easy to grasp. Now, the main question was why in the world would the other clans be hostile to one another.

" Well we are. But we all have to have our certain areas and we all have our territories. We fight for out territory and for what we believe to be right." She mewed her voice full of understanding. He was new so it would taken a while to get used to eveything.

"Ok, I understand that you want to protect your land and what not but why do you harbor such hatred for the other clans? What have they ever done to your clan for you to feel this way?" She appeared to be answering his questions sufficiently but it did not seem like it was enough at the same time. He shifted in the now warm green grass and twitched his ears. Being out in the open wasn't really too bad as he had first been taught.

She sighed and laid down, her cream colored pelt fading into the grass. Her jade colored gaze watching Airheart," Long ago the Shadowclan drove us from our territory. They have been our enemies since beacuse they never tried to help us or fight for us." She mewed quietly.

The tom's bright baby blue eyes followed Jadedgaze as she laid down on the grassy moor. He blinked and lowered his head slightly as he thought about what she had just said. "I-I see" he meowed simply. Well, that was one clan at least where they seemed to have a legitimate reason for hating them, but still. Ok, if that was true what about the other clan or clans? She did say clans as in there was more than one. His heart started to pump as fear clouded him as he thought of many clans that were all allied with Shadowclan and were aiming to kill them all. "J-Jadedgaze, we will be safe here in the open won't we?"
