Valiant found herself wandering aimlessly in the moonlight, it was beautiful out, and she was restless. The cold had finally come, leaving her in a shed where she would be the same temperature inside or out.
And she preferred out.
Dew clung to the glistening grass, but she ignored the water clinging to her padded feet, for she wanted entertainment of a sort… and hell break loose if she didn’t find it.
Valiant danced in the moonlight absorbing it into her, before heading under a tree.
Feeling someone near, her golden eyes darted around the park, searching friend, foe or dinner.

Schmee stood almost motionless in a field at the edge of the park. The icy wind blew on her face, she breathed in her whiskers twitched slightly, there were birds ahead hiding in the tall grass, and just beyond that 'is that Valiant's scent?' Schmee crouched low and moved slowly forward towards the birds. careful to not make a sound.
It was late the birds were probably sleeping but any sudden noise might wake them. She took care with each step to move silently, the wind blew her way again 'Pigeons! at least four. and that is defiantly Valiant, is she hunting also?' She could hear the soft cooing of the sleeping birds now and saw the movement of one as it adjusted its wing, her pupils dilated as she took in all the info she could and she pounced landing on one bird and her giant paws pinning a second one to the ground, the others flew away from Schmee, towards Valiant. If Val didn't catch one, Schmee would give her the one that thrashed under her sizeable paws.

Valiant leapt striking down a flapping frightened bird in one try. Agility was always a plus when you were small.
quickly she broke its neck, for torture was never her ideal.
the sent of the other cat became unbarring... and yet she knew it.
Schmee, out for a midnight snack?
at least it was a friend, that was good enough for val. To be sure she ducked back into the shadows, with a limp bird hanging from her mouth
eyes dilating into the dark.
The new animal must be schmee, there was no one else with her sent.
"hello." valiant called softly into the night.

"Hello" Schmee answered the Disembodied voice, It was Valiant, she was certain, her eyes searched in the darkness till they found the golden refection of the light in her eyes.
Schmee smiled to herself when she saw the pigeon in Valiant's little mouth, and let the thrashing bird go, 'no need to take more then required after all.' as it flew away she turned her attention to the bird underneath her, and quickly dispatched it and then she lay down and started pruning the unnecessary feathers.
"Good Job Val. I didn't think a little thing like you could make it, but I suppose size isn't everything, You are much faster then me. I'm truly impressed."

"coming from you, it truely means a lot." She smiled and glanced around her. She was always parinoid that some human would come and take her away.
"I never feel safe here." she muttered absently while plucking the feathers from her prey's limbs.
She thought of her old life and shivered, what if that would happen again, would she ever truely be safe? was there a way to be safe?
Her eyes darted across the expance of dew covered grass to her temporary home. Home... that word... it meant so much to the small cat.
Then she returned her attention to Schmee.
"Sorry, I was contemplating."

Schmee watched Valiant very closely, she seemed very distracted. "Val this is my territory, you are safe here. I mean there are humans around the area but they tend to ignore the cats around here. They seem to like the fact that we killed most of the mice around here." She took a bit of her bird being careful not to get to much blood on herself, it took forever to clean her long fur when she didn't pay attention.
"Have you chosen a territory yet, young one? If you like you would be welcome to join me here. I'd be happy to teach you how to use a sword, that way you would have nothing left to fear." Schmee whipped the blood of her mouth, she realized that she might sound pushy to Val. "There is no hurry though, you have plenty of time yet to chose were you would like to live. Perhaps you already have a place in mind." She said with a smile.

"Acctually I hadn't really thought about it, though I suppose I would want to be close to people I could trust." She held her head high and sat down cross legged.
"humm... I used to practice with two short swords when I had a home, though I never quite got the hang of it." she smiled brilliantly.
" Its lovely here, I love the area... Obviously the're people I know, and some I trust. It wouldnt be so bad to call this place home."
She glanced around her, more cautious.
"what does it entail to be in a territory?"

Schmee grinned pointing to a nearby apartment building, "That is NyanMan’s Mansion. 'The Old Man' is the leader of this territory, he is kinda a pervert, but he is smarter and stronger then he looks. He really is a good leader and has lots of experience to fall back on." She finished off her bird leaving the feet, beak and tail feathers. "Daily training is an essential part of life at the Mansion and the cats who reside there are not weak in the slightest. I know how to handle small swords, but perhaps someone there will be a better teacher then I. But you mush chose a weapon you are comfortable with."
Schmee stood and stretched cleaning her fur and her weapon. "If you want to join, you have to be willing to fight to defend your territory, your home." She looked over at Val "How is all this sounding to you?"

Valiant smiled
"well we both know I dont mind a little tussle here and there." She glanced around yet again.
"And fighting bad guys doesnt sound half bad."
She chuckled.
"I suppose that is my round about way of saying, it would be lovely to join."

"Well, you will have to meet our leader first and get his approval, but as I said he is a pervert and has a weakness for young girls. If you think you are ready then follow me." Schmee ran to the edge of the road and looked both ways, 'it's not busy, that's good' "Val you have to be very careful when crossing the road, look both ways, humans in cars don't watch for cats crossing, be careful and stay with me." Schmee looked both ways again. "Here we go!" She said as she started running, She looked at val out of the corner of her eye, 'She is Quite quick.' They came up to a low window that was cracked and Schmee paused there. "If the old man likes you, then you are in, if he wants to test you in a mock battle fight with your full heart in it okay Val." She waited for the answer before slipping through the window.

Valiant ran with Schmee taking in everything she was saying.
Its surreal she thought, and paused outside the window.
"Heart and soul are the only way you can fight."
She gave Schmee a curt nod and thought of her abilities in a fight, one of the few things Val had going for her in a fight, is her ability to think and act quick. She closed her eyes and counted to three before opening them to find herself in a alternate universe. How long had it been since she was inside a home?
And what was this place?

"This is the basement of the of the apartment building, and our home base." Schmee said as if reading her thoughts. "Oy! 'Old Man' I brought a new recruit for you to meet." She called out to a group of cats. Most of the Cat dispersed as they approached leaving one older one standing where he was. Some cats moved off to the side but stayed close enough to watch what would happen. All of them silent.
"Hello Schmee, and who is it you brought in this time?"
"My Protege Valiant, I vouch for her as a warrior and a friend"

Valiant stood still, she hadn't seen this many cats in one place since she was taken from her home the first time. Realizing her manners she smiled to the older man and bowed her head respectively.
She didn't know whether or not to speak, so she stayed silent, for that was always the best answer to the former question.
Quickly her eyes darted around the room, if she had to fight, who would it be? She glanced over the older cats, to a rather large male standing in the back.
Crap.
She returned her attention to Schmee and tried to calm her pulsating nerves.
((she got lucky))

((you did get lucky, the fighting was going to be a dice rolling battle, and the quest was going to take a while-- being cute has it's perks))
Amesho walked up to where Val was standing,'Valiant I like the name' he circled her smiling taking in her physical qualities, speaking as he walked behind her."a young manx, small in size still, but has strong long legs" 'a very healthy body' he let out a lecherous laugh. "So Tell me Valiant, What made you want to join this territory? did you hear of my devilish good looks and have to see me for your self? How old are you, and how long have you been free?"
Schmee was very protective of Val and part of her wanted to jump in between, the way the old man laughed made her feel edge. But she trusted him, he was a protector by heart like her, he would never take it to far unless he was with someone willing.

Valiant saw Schmee tense, she smiled to her, hoping to reassure her.
"I wanted to be in a place with people I can trust, and Schmee being here, means you have a good taste in who you allow to be in your territory." She smiled at him, attempting to be charming.
"I have been free around two and a half years, traveling from home to home. My age is that of a mere seventeen, but I am strong for my age." Feeling this overcoming urge to flirt back, she obliged.
"then there's the fact that I did hear you had good looks, but in person I find you are intelligent as well."
She gave one last innocent smile and glanced back at Schmee. Valiant had not always been as innocent as she is today, she had to survive one way or another.
