Slow down...
This night's the perfect shade of
Dark blue..
Dark Blue slashed his claws through fur, barely missing flesh. He snarled, rolling to the side.
"Good one!" someone panted, retaliating by trying to tackle the lithe fox.
Dark Blue merely shook his head, rolling onto his back and raking his claws over soft underbelly.
"Hey! Claws SHEATHED!" his opponent snarled, landed a few feet away. "Sharp! Dark Blue disobeyed orders!"
The midnight-black fox looked away, sitting back on his haunches.
"This is the third time in four sunrises, Dark Blue. I'm sorry, but we'll have to postpone the ritual."
Dark Blue looked up in shock, before stalking off.
"He needs to learn.." Sharp sighed, turning back to the other fox. "Go find a different sparring partner."
Dark Blue sat down on a rotting willow log, glaring into the tree line. A thump, and a weight sat down beside him.
"Hi, Blue!" The voice was cheerful, almost disgustingly so. "The ritual's tonight! Aren't you excited?"
"No."
Ice Crystal looked surprised. "But you've been looking forward to this for moons!" She sounded shocked. "Why aren't you excited!?"
"Because I'm not going to be in the ritual."
"..Oh." Ice Crystal fidgeted beside the midnight black fox. "I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, I'm about sick of this place."
"But the Pack of Four Sunrises is your home!" Ice Crystal sounded even more shocked than before.
"They don't treat me like I belong."
"Sharp's just been testy since the war.."
"It's been moons! Why can't he get over that damn cat?! She wasn't one of us!"
"But she was.." Ice Crystal's voice was quiet. "She fit in, almost better than a real fox.."
"Argh! Even you!" Dark Blue stood up, bounding away into the trees.
"Blue! Dark Blue! don't go!" Ice Crystal stood up, looking after the retreating fox. "Please come back.."
Dark Blue was lost in thought, running on auto-pilot, which allowed him to bypass most obstacles. Sadly, auto-pilot is not for everything.
SPLASH!
Dark Blue simmered in silence as he climbed out of the small creek. He shook his fur, muttering about idiotic water.
"Haaallo," A voice said.
Dark Blue looked up, growling.
Panda was staring down at the soggy fox from a limb on a tree. "I said, haaallo."
"..Hello," Dark Blue muttered. "Who're you?"
"Panda. Who're you?"
"Dark Blue."
"Neat name. What're you doing here? I thought you foxes lived yonder over hill."
"They do. But I don't."
"Kicked out?" the cat guessed, swishing her tail.
"No. I ran away."
"Ohh. Sad."
"Not really."
Panda clawed her way down the tree, setting herself a few feet from the black-blue fox. "Well, where're you gonna go? Ain't no more fox clans-"
"Packs."
"..Packs around here."
"I don't know."
"Well, the area around here is for rogues. this happens to be my little piece of territory. You can be more than welcome here."
"..Uh-huh. I think I might take you up on that offer, Panda."
"Do whatchu want." Panda yawned, scratching behind her ear. "But chill, brah. You're much too antsy for my liking."
Dark Blue realized he had been fidgeting again. "Oh. My apologies."
"Whatever."
