Moonsong nodded and proceeded to wait for an Aquaclan patrol. She was fairly angry, with Aquaclan and with herself for not sensing the intruders earlier. oh well, she thought, at least this means it will be a lot more interesting around here. She looked up at the white flake falling from the sky with increasing intensity. They wouldn't be able to stay out too long if it got any worse. The cold didn't bother her in the least, but frostbite wasn't something one could blatantly ignore. She hoped a patrol would pass soon, so that they could get this out of the way quickly.

Storming from the smithy, Sandshadow sprinted along the light tracks of snow, following the faint scent to Cherrystar. She swallowed her fury as she passed the dismissed warriors, giving them a short nod. She came to a halt at the Lunarclan leader and dipped her head slightly out of respect. “My lady, we seem to be short two poignards and a claymore. I counted my inventory three times, and I asked around camp if anybody had seen them.” She paused, her chocolaty brown eyes narrowing in suspicion “Unless you or one of your warriors took them, or I’m mistaken.” She let out a harsh laugh “Which can’t be true as I found Aquaclan scent in my smith. And it’s fresh.” She pushed her auburn locks out of her eyes and then proceeded to cross her arms across her chest. She was fuming, but she managed suppress her anger in front of her leader.

Rainfall gave a curt bow, and began to leave, pausing as she passed SilentRain, "Listen to Cherryblossom," she ordered him, then dove into the dense forest.
SilentRain looked after her as she left, then redirected his attention to his leader, and Sandshadow.
SilentRain began to make a mental record in his head, 3 weapons, 2 poignards and a claymore, and food had also been taken from Lunarclan’s food storage, so far all evidence has pointed towards Aquaclan.
“Strange… but interesting,” he mumbled to himself, Aquaclan has always been peaceful to some extent, but this recent change could easily cause war… SilentRain did enjoy a good fight.

"Alright, Sandshadow, we also had some food stole, presumably from Aquaclan. Now we are waiting for a patrol to come along. I would like for you to stay here with us because they stole from you," Cherrystar said to the blacksmith.
Cherrystar was rather worried that something was wrong with Aquaclan. This clan of water loving neko's had always seemed friendly. Also it was against everything the clans stood for to steal, especially from another clan.

Blackrose swiftly led the small patrol towards the river, arriving there; she saw that the opposite side was currently occupied by the leader, Cherryblossom, two warriors, and what seemed to be a smithy, judging by her appearance, that is.
Blackrose stood tall, and let her hand stray close to one of her many daggers, she was also glad that she had decided to bring her scythe, may there be a battle.
Blackrose nodded in greeting towards the Lunarclan leader, she might as well be respective of a leader, even if she is of another clan.

Fallencloud walked behind Blackrose saying nothing, but still wondering if she was cold, and the other nekos for that matter, but his thoughts were interrupted when he noticed the gathering on the other side of the river. He was about to greet the Lunarclan nekos and proceed with the patrol, but as he looked at them he took in their faces. All of their expressions seemed tense, and a few of them looked almost hostile. He re-assessed and turned to Cherrystar, the Lunarclan leader. "Hello" he said professionally and slightly apprehensively "What business do you have at the river this day?" He tried to access the situation calmly. It didn't look good.

Bluerain watched the patrol set off, a hint of longing in her pale eyes. Shaking the distracting emotions off, she padded out of the kitchens and moved into her apothecary. She wanted to change into clean clothes; the river water had dried into the material and was staring to make her skin itch uncomfortably. Picking up a new satchel, she hung it on her belt, and also secured her staff on her back. With her preparations complete she hurried out of the encampment, feeling a little awkward to leave the camp, for the most part unattended. However, she reasoned, they were on an island, making it trickier to attack.
After determining that all her wild herbs were in fact dead, Bluerain detoured to Clear River. She approached apprehensively, sensing something amiss. She let her gaze flicker between the hostile Lunarclan warriors and the edgy Aquaclan patrol. One…two…three, four Lunarclan, four Aquaclan. She chewed her lip, this wasn’t going to end well. She bowed slightly to the Lunarclan leader, may as well try to be polite.
>(^-^)>
Sandshadow suppressed a snarl as she watched the diplomatic niceties play out. She wanted to know who dared steal from her. The foolish water-loving hippies would pay dearly if she had any say in the matter. Her eyes narrowed and she let her hand stray to the hilt of her katana, this could quickly turn ugly if the wrong thing was said… not that she would complain.

"We are having a bit of a problem." Cherrystar said. She looked at the group of Aquaclan cats just on the other side of the river. The snow was falling lightly, making the intense scene seem peaceful, for now.
"It appears that our food storage has been stole from. Also our blacksmith," Cherrystar flicked her tail in the direction of Sandshadow, "says she if missing some things." Cherrystar paused slightly and then continued. "Both places had the scent of Aquaclan around them." Cherrystar said the entire thing calmly. As of now, she has no right to assume that they did anything, she had not witnessed any of the crime scenes first hand.
Goldensky looked at the patrol across the border. I hoped I wouldn't have to use my new battle strategy so soon He thought. He was hoping this wouldn't come down to a fight. Maybe the nekos needed help from then. But then why are there so many?" He asked himself. Goldensky sighed, as far as he knew these neko's just wanted to pick a fight. The leader is there, they don't just wanna fight. He told himself.
Goldensky held tight to his staff. He had placed the spikes not the ends while the deputy had been gathering a patrol. Their leader is not taking an offensive position yet, she just wants to talk it seems. Then he heard her accuse his clan of stealing.Our clan would never steal! It goes against the warrior code! What could she be thinking! Goldensky ranted in his head. But she said there was Aquaclan scent there. Do we have a traitor in our clan? Or is this she-neko lying to us? Goldensky assessed the posture of the nekos across the river. The blacksmith seems to be holding in her anger, there is a warrior who also seems to be angry, and the leader looks as if she is trying not burst into tears of anger. Goldensky sighed, perhaps these cats were telling the truth. But then who stole from them?

SilentRain quietly watched his leader explain the situation, then nonchalantly glanced to the other bank, it was a normal sized patrol, three warriors, and… was that… BlueRain on the other side?!
SilentRain’s eyes widened a faction, What was a Medicine neko doing here?! And her, of all neko’s too!
Suddenly SilentRain felt the strong urge to wave to her, but quickly suppressed it, knowing that it would get them into trouble.
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
BlackRose looked at the Lunarclan leader with angry, calculating eyes.
“Us?! Steal-“she started saying, but stopped herself, she’s should let Fallencloud do the majority of the speaking, the last thing she wanted to do was start a fight, they had four against their… four? What was BlueRain doing here? Well, a medicine neko did help things become more peaceful, so perhaps she was an asset.
BlackRose quickly looked at Fallencloud for guidance, what would he do? Now that Aquaclan had been accused of thievery.

Bluerain stepped forward clearing her throat slightly. She stopped next to Fallencloud and murmered quietly “If I may be so bold, I think we can mediate this out easily.” She turned her attention to the Lunarclan patrol. “I don’t know much about fighting. I’m no warrior. I’m a herbologist, that’s what I aspire to do for as long as I shall exist.” She stopped her mini ramble and got to the point. “However, I know that there will always be conflict between the clans. Different interests for the people. Different battle plans.” She looked between the clans “Different people. It all leads to fighting. …There was a time when Terra and Solclan united to try to conquer us. We prevailed, Lunar and Aquaclan combined. And we’ve had a strong alliance before that. In Aquaclan we stress the code. It’s taught to our children at a young age. And you don’t break the code.” Her blue eyes flashed as looked everyone over. “Doing so is treason.” She paused again, collecting her thoughts and recomposing herself. “If you would find it fitting Cherrystar, I think it may be in the interests of both of our clans to send over an ambassador from each clan to check the scents and verify if they are in fact if the scent is of one of ours.” She finished her shtick sounding somewhat serene, she knew Aquaclan didn’t do the accused, they are good people. Her gaze flickered between her clan mates and the Lunar clan patrol, but rested on her deputy. Mentally Bluerain was stressed; diplomatic duties took a lot of thinking in order to keep a level head. And, to top it off, she wasn’t certain if her spiel was out of turn or not. But physically she kept cool, keeping her voice calm, and body movements fluid.

Fallencloud stared at the normally quiet neko. She had spoken out of turn, but what she had to say was profound, and absolutely correct. He quickly regained his composure, and smiled at Bluerain. "I couldn't have said it better myself." he said still smiling. He then turned to Cherrystar and stated loudly "Obviously a misunderstanding has occurred, but this does not mean we cant solve it in a civil manner. Cherrystar, do you accept our terms?" This would all be worked out. he was sure of it. None of his clan mates would ever steal. It had to be a misunderstanding. But then, how did our scent get into Lunarclan? and where were the missing items? and how did they come to be missing in the first place? He pondered this for a moment. something was wrong, and Fallencloud got the feeling that things were going to get a lot more complicated.
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Moonsong glared at the Aquaclan nekos. She felt insulted. She had smelled it herself, it was definitely Aquaclan. At first she thought they were lying, but when she thought about it, it didnt appear that way. It was possible, but something about the way they all looked, expressions varying from shocked, to angry, to hurt, made her doubt that was the case. Although this could be faked as well. When the blond female spoke however, something clicked. She was a medicine neko, which means she shouldn't be here in the first place, and also that she handles a lot of herbs and plants. plants like garlic. Moonsong struggled to supress the shock on her face as the gears turned in her mind. Perhaps this was why she knew exactly what to say when Cherrystar questioned about the stolen items. This was why she was even here at all. Moonsong would have to wait untill she could speak to Cherrystar alone before she could voice her ideas. She tried to be patient as the interaction went on, but she couldnt keep from glaring at the Aquaclan medicine neko, just a little.

Goldensky couldn't help but notice one of the Lunarclan nekos was glaring at the medicine neko. Now what could she be thinking? He asked himself. He studied the she-nekos posture. She looked as if she had something against the neko. But she wasn't doing that earlier in this meeting. For a moment Goldensky had a confused look on his face. Then he took a deep breath trying to clear his head. He smelled something though. Garlic? The scent wasn't here when he had been surveying the border early this morning.
"Excuse me if i seem to be talking out of turn, but are there a few patches of garlic on your side of the border? Because there aren't any over here and the scent over here was not here this morning." Goldensky said. He hoped he didn't get in trouble, but something about the scent bothered him, the wind was still blowing in the same direction as it had been in the morning.
Cherrystar thought about the other clan had proposed. It seemed logical, and she knew just the neko to send over. Sandshadow would be an excellent choice. She could tell first had if the scent was the same. Or maybe Moonsong, she to would know, and her logic is very good. Cherrystar thought it out. She decided on Moonsong. Something told her to do so, maybe it was the fact that she could tell Sandshadow was holding in all her anger right now.
Cherrystar's ears perked up when she heard this blond neko speak. Garlic, not more of this again. Cherrystar sighed. She glanced at her clan mates. "Moonsong, you said there was the smell of garlic in our food storage, how 'bout you Sandshadow? Was there any garlic scented in your stores?"
"Also to answer your question young neko, there are no patches of garlic on this side of the river." Cherrystar stated. They had searched this side of the river and no one had found anything. They all assumed that the scent was coming from the other side of the border.

(( Goldensky was there in the morning before she planted it so he doesn't think it is on his side of the border))

SilentRain Watched all that was going on quietly, and looked to BlueRain once more in a discreet way.
‘Why was I chosen to come to this? Oh… wait… because I’m a warrior, but still… this is one strange coincidence’ He thought to himself, then glanced at the blacksmith.
Why was Sandshadow fuming at BlueRain? Well, he’ll find out in due time, and for now, he’ll greet BlueRain.
SilentRain looked back towards BlueRain, and gave her a small wave, one that could possibly look like he was swatting at a bug or trying to catch some snow.
OooOOOoOOoOOoOOOOooOoOOOooooooOOoOoOOOOoooOOoOoo
BlackRose looked at the dark, quiet neko on the other side, and saw him give a careful wave to BlueRain.
A puzzled look ran across BlackRose’s face, she was relatively sure that those too have never met, so why was he waving to her? How… fascinatingly odd.
“…You… Weren’t here earlier, were you? BlueRain?” she whispered to the medicine neko, voice muffled by the snow.
