(jaypooter tho)
Sungaze most certainly did not own this place, as one other cat was more than sure of. The she-cat was well hidden from her perch in a birch tree, her pale spotted coat matching seamlessly with the smooth bark of the thin tree. She held the wind in her favor as well- the light breeze filtering through the trees brought the scent of the thick furred cat to her nose. She could tell...this cat smelled...not dirty, but certainly more like humans than other rogue cats. Nonetheless she smelt of wilderness too, so the cat in the tree deduced that she had travelled far, and came from a place nearer to humans but still isolated from them. It was unlikely that she'd come into contact with them recently.
Thus, she was dangerous. As the unfamiliar cat pushed her way father into the wooden strand, the nimble tree cat launched her low-slung body across the trees, keeping pace with the large stranger who paced beneath her.
That is, until a large bird swooped in her face and caused her to fall out of the tree.

The golden tabby heard the other falling cat before she even saw her. She heard a stirring in the branches above her, and her tasseled ears picked up in interest. As Sungaze lifted her head to observe the noise, all she saw was a sudden dark shape blocking the sunlight. Immediately she arched her back and fluffed up, hissing at whatever was falling from the trees. Unfortunately, she didn’t move out of the falling object’s way; whatever it was nailed her right on the back, and the both of them tumbled messily to the ground. Sungaze scrambled back to her paws, her claws gripping the moist soil. “What the..,” she growled, her eyes widening. Did another cat just fall on her? She opened her mouth slightly to taste the air, and the new she-cat smelled just like her surroundings.

The pale she-cat grunted apathetically as she coolh extracted herself from the other cat. As they stood, she realized that the intruder was bigger than she thought. Taller, bulkier, and looking a little annoyed. No matter. The shorter cat stood in a neutral position, eyes half closed in what looked like boredom. Her eyes, a starry blue as pale as her coat, locked on the newcomer's, intently absorbing the wary glare she received from the younger, fiery cat. After a pause, she spoke, her voice a quiet monotone. "My name is Hart; who are you and what are you doing?"
(So begins the questioning)

The larger she-cat held her ground as she stared at the stranger in front of her, while silently wondering why she had a name like that. "My name is Sungaze," she answered calmly, but confidently, "And I'm just passing through. I don't mean to cause any trouble." She paused as she analyzed the stranger more. Ah, excellent; she was much larger than whoever this other cat was. If a fight was to break out, Sungaze internally assured herself that she would have no trouble sending this cat running with her.. Stump, between her legs. "Do you live here?" She asked in a bit more friendly tone, hoping to break past the uncertainty barrier. Though she was confident, she was wise for her year and a half, and she would prefer to get her nine lives instead of losing the only one she had.

"Yes," Hart responded dully. Internally, her mind was working as quick as a mouse's heart. This cat was barely an adult; she looked young, and Hart put her at around a year or two old; the latter seemed unlikely, though. She still possessed the brazen confidence of a kitten who thought she could conquer the world. She wasn't from around here either; that, combined with her overconfidence, meant that she would easily get lost in these woods. "Follow me," Hart said decisively, turning with a flick of her queerly rounded ear.

(yes she is a large fluffy kitten cat)
Sungaze watched the mysterious she-cat turn her back to her, narrowing her amber eyes in distrust. She folded her ears back before questioning, "And why should I do that? I barely know anything about you." Also, this cat had no idea why she was passing through, and it wasn't like she could take her time and explore every distraction that appeared: she had a place to find, nine lives to receive, and a Clan to get back to. "And plus, you have no idea where I'm going."

"You are passing through, and you are a stranger. I don't trust you to be wandering through my land without supervision. You will get lost if you don't follow me; I will lead you through the forest." Hart responded without looking back at Sungaze. She was one of few words, and was not one for familiarity; she had lost that privilege long ago. Pausing her steps, she turned and added with detached icy bluntness, "You came from the south, heading northward. I watched. You don't even know which way you're going."
(Lol shorts fine, keeps it moving. i got distracted by a song that made me cry omg)

The matter-of-factness of the other she-cat's tone greatly unnerved Sungaze, and she folded her ears flat against her head. "What makes you say that?" She half-hissed, her tone accusatory. Though she knew this cat was absolutely correct in her assumption (or knowledge), her ego wouldn't let her admit it. Instead, she stood tall in her stance, lashing her tail furiously. There was doubt in her mind, however. Should she let this cat lead her to her destination? According to that medicine cat, this would be a journey of self-discovery for her. Did that include other cats?
(soo many hyphens)

"I watched you," Hart repeated, "I watched you from the trees. You came from the south heading north, but you wanted to turn west. You hesitated and chose to keep going north. Later you began to turn east, but you stayed north." Suddenly Hart leered close to Sungaze's face, her moonlike orbs looming close to the lamplike spheres of Sungaze. She could see the uncertainty in those bold, sharp eyes. She doubted herself. Her rigid, tight stance only served to prove Hart's conclusion. She could see that the young she-cat was ready to pounce. "If you fight me," she spoke low and dangerously, "you will lose, in more ways than one. Follow me." Despite having finished what she wanted to say, she did not move from her position, instead choosing to remain staring, unblinking. She was determined. She could wait. Until Sungaze made her move, she would watch.

Sungaze instinctively, defensively took a step back when Hart approached her so closely, but at the same time, her threatening aura made her legs go weak underneath her. She let out a reluctant sigh, and lowered her head and dropped her gaze from the other cat's, submissively. "Fine," she sadly answered, "Lead the way, Hart." Still though, she wondered how this cat thought she could beat her if the two of them happened to fight. Compared to her tall, muscular, long-legged physique, this cat almost looked like an apprentice next to her. There was something slightly more mature in her face, though. Who was she?
