Dipperstar halted as one of his paws met the rocky ground of Moonclan's territory. The two clans' scent markers were creating a strong invisible border here. He and Sootclaw were going to talk to Moonstar today, but without any Moonclan patrol inviting them, this was as far as they would go. "We better wait here," he said to Sootclaw. "I don't think they've been on a patrol yet, so it might not be too long." The Sunclan leader sat down where he was and waited patiently, still staying on guard.

"Right." Sootclaw murmured sitting a pace behind his leader, keeping his ears and eyes alert for any incoming sound of a MoonClan patrol. He shuffled his paws, electric eyes scanning the rocky surface. A pelt, a tail, anything to alert him. "Have you smelled any of them coming yet?" Sootclaw asked, cursing his nose for being unable to smell the wind itself. Even with his damaged sense he could smell the strong markings of the border not even a tail length in front of him.

Dipperstar drew in the air one last time. "Not a sign yet," he muttered. "But I guess the wind is blowing in their direction. Hopefully it'll make them detect us sooner." He had a hopeful tone in his steady voice. "If I remember correctly, this is the only one of their borders not lined with the river, so it would be clever to go here first." The black cat shock his paws to keep them from getting numb. The air was dry and there was no place to drink, but he would have to endure the wait. He looked up at the sky, watching a couple of birds to pass the time.

Sootclaw's ear flicked in annoyance. He couldn't see the cats, couldn't hear them and his nose defiantly wasn't going to be of any help. "If we're lucky we won't have to wait for much longer..." Sootclaw sighed casting a hope filled gaze across the Moonclan's side of the territory once again. "Do you think only bring me along was a good idea. I know Mintblossom had to stay behind, but at least one other warrior would've been found. It's not comfortable knowing I'm the only warrior to help protect the nine lives my leader has." he stated, pacing back and worth the awaken his sleeping hind paws.

Dipperstar sent Sootclaw an understanding look. "I don't think they will attack us, but I understand your concern. I wouldn't force any of my warriors to come if they don't want to, not matter what their reasons are. And I don't think Moonclan will see us as a threat if we don't step on their tails." He spoke in a pretty cheerful tone, hoping to make Sootclaw more relaxed. The time passed by slowly, yet there was no sign of any Moonclan cat, not even a whisker. As patient as he was this was taking too long. "This won't do," he said. "If they haven't passed by now, they probably won't for a while yet. Do you feel up for some more walking?" He flicked his tail toward the Moonclan territory. "If they want to know why we're trespassing we'll just tell them it's urgent." He tested the rocky ground with one white paw while waiting for a response.

Sootclaw chuckled, "Good thing I'm not to keen on fighting without a reason then, eh?" he asked. Sootclaw glanced at Moon Clan territory before nodding, "Anything is better than sitting here and letting my paws fall off." he stated walking over the border and setting a slow pace into the territory.

Dipperstar gave Sootclaw a nod of agreement before starting the trip into unfamiliar land. After a while of walking he picked up the pace and started trotting lightly, always making sure the ground was safe. "It's terribly silent, but we must be getting close to their camp soon. Don't you think so?" Walking through a potential enemy's territory made him feel uneasy, so he wanted this to be over as soon as possible. If only they could meet a Moonclan cat soon.

"This is madness.. something isn't right. No patrol? No hunting party? Surely the apprentices, or kit's would be making noise in the camp by now.." Sootclaw trailed off peering around, and straining his ear's as hard as he could. Even the slightest sound would be welcoming at this point.

Darkstorm jumped over rocks playfully, tumbling around as if he had really nothing to do. He made a lot of noise jumping around, making any prey dwelling in the shiny rock hide in their homes. As he sniffed the air for any sign of danger, he caught a scent. Another clans scent, Sunclan to be sure. He crouched down, his muscular body pressing quietly against his familiar rock. He advanced forward, hoping to have some sunclan she-cats behind this tall boulder.

Sootclaw ear's perked forward, hearing what sounded to be a noisy kit at play. Sootclaw pawsteps grew cautious, "Sounds like a loud kit, or a noisy apprentice.. What do you think Dipperstar?" Sootclaw asked trying to crane his neck to get a view of whatever was approaching them.
