“Oh good. Then I’ll let her torture you, it’ll be easier on my part.” She smiled to herself and looked up at the sky. It was a lovely clear blue color with puffy white clouds dotting it, making it seem rather pale. A few of the clouds weren’t as puffy, and were darker in color. Storm clouds. Bluerain paled slightly, though rain was refreshing, and though it made her hair frizz to no end, it made the water level rise, which would cause issues with the islands. The water level was fairly high as it was, Aquaclan didn’t need more rain.

SilentRain gazed at the oncoming clouds, "the water level is a bit high isn't it?" He looked at the water, it was a bit high..
"SILENTRAIN!!!!! I FOUND YOU!!!" a shout came from the forest behind SilnetRain, as a neko leaped at him, running head long into his back.
"oh god!" he said, falling facefirst into the river.
After a series of events, Rainfall was sitting on a wet SilentRain's back.
"So.... who's your friend?" the girl asked him.
".. well, she's yet to tell me her name"

“eh?” Bluerain turned her head to the side and watched. “You never asked, or told me your name.” she shrugged. “So I felt no need to give my name.” The blonde girl kept her manors polite but sent a smug smile to the somewhat defeated-looking warrior. “…as to your comment about the level of water, yes it is higher than normal, but not by much. It’s been a rainy season… wonderful for my herbs.” She trailed off nodding to herself, almost in a way that she was reassuring herself that there were no issues with the water.

SilentRain pushed his friend to the side and sat up, "Well, then, i must properly introduce myself to you" he stood up as he said this. "My name is SilentRain, and my companion's name is Rainfall" he said to her, "And may inquire as to what your name is?"
"Ohh, so nicely said Si!" Rainfall said to SilentRain jokingly.
"... I'll bite you" he said glaring at his annoying companion.
Rainfall smiled back at him, and studied the Aquaclan neko, she was nice looking she supposed, looked like a medicine neko or a warrior, she looked to be around their age, maybe younger.
"How old are you?" Rainfall asked, somewhat randomly.

She nodded “Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I’m Bluerain.” She brushed a bit of imaginary dirt off of herself and straitened her clothes out so she looked a tad neater. “I’m fifteen and three quarters. Youngest medicine neko in the history of Aquaclan.” She boasted feeling somewhat proud and embarrassed at the same time. She used a sort of break-dancing move to jump up from her sitting position on the ground and looked over her newest acquaintance. Pale skin –almost stereotypical for a Lunarclan warrior, a mop of black hair, and an overall somewhat sullen-looking appearance, contrasting nicely with her bubbly-seeming personality.

"Nice to meet you" Rainfall said, just as thunder boomed.
"Hmmm, didn't expect there to be a storm......" SilentRain commented, watching the rain come down considerably hard. SilentRain and Rainfall had the trees as shelter, so the rain didn't bother them that much.
Rainfall looked at Bluerain, "nice name.. makes me think that me and Si here should be in aquaclan!" she laughed.
SilentRain ignored Rainfall's comment to Bluerain, "hm.... storm is getting closer..." he said, standing in the rain, since he was not in the shelter of the trees. "Are you going to be okay? or should you head back... your leader probably won't be happy you've been speaking to some creepy lunarclan warriors.
"oh, be quiet Si, anyways, bluerain, so your'e only 15, almost 16, hmm, me and Si are 17, that's cool, you must have really wanted to be a medicine neko!" Rainfall said, pretty bubbly, despite how quiet she acted around people she didn't know.

The lithe girl shrugged “Trying to get rid of me? Sure I should go back to camp, but I have herbs to gather. Besides, the rain won’t hurt you,” she raised her eyes to the heavens and let the cool rain hit her face. She was growing damper by the moment, and she could already tell her usually light hair was full of water as it was heaver than normal. “You needn’t worry about me, I can take care of myself…” bringing her head back down to earth she rummaged through her satchel, and found a two small sprigs of mint and a tiny jar of honey. Managing to stuff the mint through the ring of the jar she tossed it over to the Lunarclan warriors. “I’d consume it just before going back to your camp. Nice combination for fighting the cold and preventing throat infection… and it is rather tasty.” She smiled shyly, a medicine neko’s work was never restricted to his or her own clan.

SilentRain easily caught the jar, "I'm not trying to get rid of you, simply.. looking out for your well-being, thanks for the honey and mint" he said, starting to absent-mindedly throw the jar into the air and catch it with one skilled hand. "You know... we probably don't need it though, we don't get much sun here, so we're used to the cold.. you should probably take it"
"Ugh! Well, find out soon, i'm kind of hungry!" the black haired neko complained.
"Just wait will you? Well, you can head back if you want to Rain, i'll be there soon i guess..." he said, as another crack of thunder reached their sensitive cat ears.

The blonde girl shrugged “I don’t mind either way, it not just for the cold, honey is quite amazing for its uses. It blocks the growth of oral bacteria, coats the throat to reduce irritation, it’s effective to treat gastric or peptic stomach ulcers, it can treat wounds and infections because of its antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties, it can treat burns, and it’s an antioxidant. It can also be used as hair conditioner, eye salve, and mouthwash… and it’s rather tasty.” She smiled a bit then continued her lesson on medicinal uses of common plants. “Mint has properties related to soothing toothaches, indigestion, stomach cramps, menstrual cramps, flatulence, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and colic in children. You can make a tea out of fresh or dried leaves... ” the girl trailed off then bit her lip deciding she went a bit overboard and just became known to another clan as the living encylopedia. She scratched the back of her head and jumped a little when a louder crack of thunder echoed through the lands, rain fell harder still and it looked like it would be a tough storm. She would have to head back soon to ensure her stores were safe..

((ARGH! i already replied to this, but i guess it didn't work.. argh.. must type again.. rawr))
SilentRain looked at the amber honey, "That's good you know.. er.. it's good that you know all those helpful facts about herbs, very helpful to your clan. No wonder you're the youngest medicine neko.." he said, feeling somewhat awkward near the end of his talk... it felt weird to talk so much with someone, i mean, he doesn't talk much to people he knows!
"Yeah, you must have really wanted to be a med. neko! anyways, i'm heading back, someone might be worried about us, doubtful, but whatever. See you soon, Si, and it was a pleasure meeting you, Bluerain, i hope to see you at a gathering one of these days!" Rainfall said, waving to SilentRain and Bluerain, then silently dissappered into the dark trees.
"so.... Hair conditioner? Honey? Wouldn't i become quite popular with the little bugs? Anyways, you Aquaclan nekos may be used to the water, but us Lunarclan warriors are tough, take it" SilentRain said, preparing to toss the jar to the blonde neko.

Her glassy gaze trailed after the female Lunarclan warrior “bye…” she called softly watching the dark-haired girl disappear from her line of vision. Gasping slightly, she caught the jar easily and shrugged, “…whatever floats your boat.” She inspected the jar watching the golden elixir drip down from the lid in slow steady droplets. “…I kinda went overboard didn’t I?” The girl laughed nervously “I’m not that good honestly, it’s easy to pick up, and a lot of it is instincts I guess…” she broke off then murmured mostly to herself “I’d love to be a warrior, looks much more interesting.” Standing up straighter, she grabbed her staff and placed the jar of honey away in one fluid water-like motion. She leaned on the delicate weapon and pursed her lips in a tiny frown as the young herbologist thought. “I imagine you have things to attend to… you may leave whenever you wish, I’m a rather droll person and I’m probably just gonna be here for a while.”

"Low self-esteem much? You seem to know what your doing more than other medicine nekos, ones that have by far more expieriance than you. I guess being a warrior is a bit interesting... we fight and train, fight and train, go on patrols and train, blah... but we do get to get out more and be involved.... why did you chooses to be a medicine neko? If you'd rather be a warrior? And don't worry, i won't leave a lady unattended, so i won't be going yet... i'd walk you back if i could!" he said, smiling at the end, if only slightly.
SilentRain sat down on the wet ground, making sure he didn't sit in a mud puddle, the stains took so much time to clean out! And being stuck cleaning at a river didn't quite appeal to him.
"THe rain would be perfect, if it didn't make mud..." he said to himself, eyeing a puddle of mud a few feet away from him.

Bluerain shrugged “I don’t have many regrets for choosing the path I did, just sometimes; I wish I could do more than sit around and make poultries.” She frowned “I don’t have low self-esteem… I just know my limits thoroughly… maybe you just have high self-esteem, that can be unhealthy you know!” A smile slipped onto her delicate features, her eyes lighting up as she flashed her straight teeth. “Who says I need an escort? While chivalry is wonderful, it began in medieval Europe with humans who believed women to be incapable to take care of themselves, thus the men had to care for them. However, it was a rather gracious offer on your part.” The girl shook her hair out, her ears twitching rather annoyed with the downpour of rain. “Eh, the rain can be nice, but… right now,” she frowned “I’d love it if it would stop.”

SilentRain smiled on the inside, "Well, mayhaps i do have a high self-esteem, but self image is important, it allows you to do things without feeling embarressed, though, i find it hard to be in front of people... other than Rainfall, and it would seem... yourself" He said, brushing dirt off of himself, or at least trying to, the rain wasn't much of a help.
SilentRain did a fancy bow, "Chivalry, ma'am, is one mannerism that all men, human or neko, should learn," he said, grinning at the blonde neko, "However, that mannerism is hard to find among modern day humans, decent victorian-age males knew this manner well... ah, such were the days..."
