Tarsen grinned, Swallow didn't seem so bad, once you got to know her. The tom dipped his head and bounded away down a side alley, pausing and jumping about to wait for Tizzy, Swallow and Dusjk to catch up. Felicia scented the air, something was coming towards her... she could scent cats. Immediatly, the she-cat's scences were on red alert, if the cats were to attack her, she wouldn't stand a chance, considering the fact that there seemed to be a few cats.

Tarsen padded quickly up the alleyway, it turned out to be quite long, and after a while, there were only a few tail lengths to the scent and it was overwhelming. Felicia hissed, backing away slightly from the scent of unknown cats, though one was familiar... the smell tugged at her memory, but nothing prevailed. She spat, the fur on her body bristling on end.

Tarsen took a deep breath and stepped out, to come face to face with a, now startled, she-cat. He stared into those dark, lime green eyes. It was Felicia. Felicia gazed into the face of the tom. Only one thought rushed through her mind, {Tarsen.} Nothing more. She stared and stared, the fur lying flat on her back, was she hallucinating? She couldn't tell.

Winter saw the two cats meet each other, and not in a too hostile way. So obviously, this small group of cats had another ally. And groups of cats that got to big were always bad, especially if you were low down on the food chain. Like he was. But if he came out now, he would have a chance to join them, and gain their protection. Considering this for a minute, Winter finally decided to step out, the wind ruffling his thick fur. He was easily seen by the cats now, but it didn't matter. Worst case scenario, he fled. Winter certainly thought himself quicker then any silly forest cat when they were in the town.
Not quite caring, but not disinterested either, Fier Neve followed the group of cats silently, knowing better then to stick his nose into something that had nothing to do with him. He had smelled pines on the she-cat, but though nothing of it; he didn't know the PineClan scent, after all. Pine was always a smell he hated, though, and he had half a mind to leave the ugly she-cat, the tortoiseshell tom and the stinky warrior. [/center]

Felicia finally broke the silence. "Tarsen?" She gasped finally. Staring at her brother, after years that seemed like moments. "Felicia... is..." Tarsen just gawped, seeing his sister after so long, feeling like he had known her for a life time.

Tizzy could've been bursting at the seams with happiness. Tarsen had found her! Tarsen had found Felicia, and Felicia recognized Tarsen! She wanted to yowl in triumph at the first sucsess in her short, but adventerous, new life. Instead, she said nothing, knowing this was Tarsen and Felicia's moment.
Rolling her eyes at the overly-sappy reunion, Dusk turned to Swallow and herded her out of view and earshot of the surrounding cats. "We need to talk," she mewed quietly. When they were far enough away from the others to be heard, she began talking quickly. "Alright, what's the plan this time? I know it has something to do with the clans, so don't lie to me on that level. Look, maybe we can work something out. Incorporate PineClan into this, y'know? But we can't act like I know you. But still, if you want to lead an attack, I bet I could convince PineClan to help if you stumbled in wounded and wailing that some other clan cat is planning to attack or something. Is that why you're gathering cats? I can see you, you're building an army aren't you?!" she had more to say, but that was a mouthfull in itself, and so she stopped, taking a deep breath inwards before letting her friend speak.

Tarsen finally found words, and said slightly lamely. "I knew you were alive!" Felicia, at that moment, burst into practically hysterical laughter at her brother's words, not sure why, though she knew that she was intoxicated with a mad happiness. Finally when she managed to take breath she enquired to Tizzy, not as her usual suspicious self. "Who're you?"

Swallow had a difficult time restraining herself from rolling her eye sat the 'touching' reunion. "I think I'm going to be sick." She murmered to herself, not loudly enough for anyone but Dusk to hear. A moment later the she-cat had pulle dher to one side, bombarding her with questions and suggestions. Swallow's eyes gleamed, this was why she and Dusk got along. Their minds ran on the same track. "There are too many Clan cats for me to fight on my own and I don't fancy joining a Clan or working my way up to being leader or anything because it would take to long. No to mention all those idiotic ceremonies and traditions. But, if I was to make a Clan - a new kind of Clan - out of all the loners and kttypets and rogues...well, there are enough of us to stand a chance, especially with the proper training." She paused here to give Dusk a calculating stare, "I would be leader, of course, but it would be handy to have a deputy who was also a spy in PineClan. The gigner tom, Fier Neve, I think is a medicine cat and the freaks are the beginings of my warriors. It will take time but eventually..." Swallow let her sentence hang inthe air, already imaginating scenes of power. "I will need your help for spying on all the Clans while I train Tizzy, Tarsen and Felicia though. Are you in?" She had not noticed the other cat, Winter as of yet, too absorbed in her plot.#nosmileys

Tizzy's tail curled in happiness that Felicia was taking a slight intrest in her. "I'm Tizzy. I met Tarsen just a few days ago. We were going to go off somewhere, but when he spoke of you, I decided that we shouold go find you before we left," she responded, careful not to mention exactly where they were planning to go. She did not miss the scorn and assumed idiocy from the other cats when they knew where Tizzy and Tarsen were headed. Personally, though, she thought they were the mouse-brains. How could any cat not see the genious in the idea. Still, Tizzy learned quickly, and she knew this was not a commonly accepted idea by these cats, so she didn't say anything to Felicia. It would be horrible to make a bad impression and have her run off the minuite she met them, and she'd feel responsible and terrible for Tarsen if this happened.

Dusk carefully considered Swallow's suggestion. She knew not to agree with the cat before she knew everything about what was going on. "Wait. Are you planning on taking over clan territory? Which clan? Where are you planning to settle, and why the army?" These were vital questions. She also saw some flaws with Swallow's plan. How could she be members of two clans at once? Would her facade have to be more apparent? Longer hunting trips? And Needlegaze would surely notice her absence, and ask her what was going on. He'd never betray his clan, so there was no hope in asking him to help or trying to include him. "It might be hard, Swallow...going from one clan to another all the time. PineClan will grow suspicious. Needlegaze will start asking questions. I am not rejecting the 'deputy' position, but...I'll need time to figure out how I'm going to do this, if I do." She narrowed her eyes, deep in thought, and trying to figure out how she could pull this off, hoping for a suggestion from her friend.

"SnowClan will fall first." Swallow elaborated, they were closest to the no-lands and so there was little chance of any of her cats getting worn out on the journey. Their territory would not be enough though, with their scrawny prey. PineClan had the best prey. Swallow could see why Dusk would want to stay with them. "You don't have to stay with my - our - new Clan all the time, about once a moon would probably suffice." Swallow appreciated her friend's difficult position but couldn't really think of a way around it. She needed Dusk, wether she liked to admit it or not, for only a cat on the inside would have knowledge that could let her attack at exactly the right time. Perhaps Dusk needed a bigger insentive than just deputy. "We could always leave PineClan out of it altogether. You advance as usual for a clan cat until you were leader. Then we could rule the Icy Territories together." Swallow offered, thining carefully about what she'd said. Could she really rule alongside another cat? Even one like Dusk? And could a cat liek Dusk rule alongside her without their ambition overtaking their friendship? Swallow shook her head, there was no taking the words back safely and that was still far in the future.

Tarsen grinned, while Felicia tilted her head. "It's good to meet you Tizzy." She purred, genuinly cheerful. She paused. "Where... where were you planning to go?" The she-cat's paws were practically skittering, she could hardly keep still. (Lol, I seriously love Swallow's attitude, lol. ^^ Though I hope she's not sick... )

{Thanks. She quite evil, isn't she?} Swallow left Dusk to ponder her words for a moment, realising that her whispering to Dusk in the corner might begin to look suspicious. She smiled broadly, although an expression like that felt wierd for her, and nodded a polite greeting to Felicia. "Well, then. It looks as though we've found your friend. I knew I'd seen her here." Swallow meowed, amazed that they had actually found this Felicia. Talk about luck! Then Swallow's fur bristled and she realised there was yet another cat here. This one seemed ready to run though, she needed to be welcoming. "Hi there. Are you with her?" She greeted, flicking her tail towards Felicia, "I'm Swallow by the way, and this is Dusk, Fier Neve, Tizzy and Tarsen." Swallow's pleasure was genuine, for once, as this made four warriors.

Winter shook his head, relaxing quite a bit too quickly. Unlike the other cats, he didn't see a crack in Swallow's act, and was willing to accept what he saw, and ignore the tension that was thick enough to be cut with a knife. It's not like Winter was the most complex cat in the forest. He was actually pretty simple-minded, especially when compared to Swallow or Dusk. "No. I just live here." The tom said quietly, wondering what a group of forest cats were doing in Soot City."Um.. What are you doing here? You are forest cats.."
