{$title} a campground cat near the border of camp! hey jinglemoon, you wanna chat?
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting, impatient, for me

Curiosity licked at her old heels as Aurora padded closer to where she knew the River cats made their home. Her ears stood tall, swiveling at the sounds of water and distant voices. She paused at the border, not too close, not foolish and called out with a bright, hopeful trill. " Uhm, hello! Hello, you over yonder! " Her eyes fixed on a handsome tom nearby, his coat catching the sun just right. She hoped he was friendly. Some of these Clan cats were... Prickly. Customs, laws, invisible lines she still didn't quite understand. All she knew was that nature provided, and cats... Whether wild or not, they lived from it.

" Hi! " she chirped again, tail tip flicking. " Would you maybe enjoy spending a bit of time in the sun with me? A friendly chat, nothing more. " She settled gracefully where she stood, careful not to inch any closer. The last thing she wanted was to startle him or invite a patrol snarling her back to campgrounds. " You see... " she continued, tone softening with genuine interest. " I've heard many things about your home. And if I'm understanding it right, you're not the only ones who give back to the earth, you live with it, don't you? Provide for it, protect it. " Her whiskers twitched, fondness and curiosity mingling.

" I suppose I just wanted to learn a little more about this place. To see... " The word trailed off. To see what? To see whether a wandering old soul like hers had a place in a world like theirs? Ridiculous. They needed bright young paws, not creaking bones and weather-worn fur. But still, the thought fluttered in her chest like a shy bird. " ... To see what all the fuss is about. " she finished with a small, sheepish smile.

DINGO

Out by the border of the territory curled tipped ears would catch some cat calling out to him as he snuffled his way through reeds and long grass for any nestled herbs. Popping his head up and angling his ears towards the source of the voice he'd spot a rosetted tabby just beyond the border. Jinglemoon would straighten up recognizing that this wasn't one of his clanmates, but they did seem friendly! "Greetings!" He'd call back as he started to pad closer, setting aside his task for now to approach.

When asked if he wanted to spend time in the sun with her the medicine cat would look a little surprised, glancing around behind himself to make sure he was actually who she had called out to-- But he was on his own at the moment so who else could she have been calling to? A friendly chat and some time in the sun couldn't hurt though, he needed a bit of a break from herb hunting anyway and the wind was getting cooler by the day. "A moment in the sun to chat sounds delightful" He'd keep his wits about him though, friendly didn't mean this cat couldn't still harm and he wasn't so naive after ShadowClan's heist on their territory. Still though he never wanted to meet kindness with unearned hostility so he'd join the older molly where she sat, though he'd keep closer to the RiverClan side of the border.

This cat had apparently heard many things about RiverClan and seemed quite curious to know more, he'd smile at her questions, and the way her whiskers twitched curiously. "We live with it, and it provides for and protects us in turn too" He nodded. The river's provided them plentiful prey as well as a protective barrier of sorts and the land provided them shelter and herbs. Jinglemoon tipped his head curiously when she trailed off before finishing her mew more sheepishly, wondering if maybe she was curious about more than just hearing about it all, perhaps she wanted to be a part of it all as well? Some other cats had recently done the same as well after all, maybe she had heard about RiverClan from them?

"Well I'd be happy to try and answer your curiosities! This place is the home of RiverClan, one of the five clans who call this territory home" He'd begin, "The other clans live in the forests, moor and marshes though. As our name suggests, we live by the river's waters" Curiously she had seemed to know where to stop at to be just beyond the border, so perhaps she had already been this way before? Or even encountered some of his clanmates already? "We're led by our leader, Pikestar and his deputy, Frostmoth and guided by the paws of StarClan" He wasn't sure if that was maybe a topic that would be seen as far-fetched or just downright confusing to someone outside the clans but, well, they had all been outside the clans too at one point, clanmates had found-- and some still did, the concept of StarClan to be something hard to believe in and some of them had changed their minds since.

"Was there anything about it that you've heard about that you're wanting to know more about specifically? I'm happy to answer what I can!" He'd smile and tuck his tail over his paws, "Ah, but where are my manners? I'm Jinglemoon! RiverClan's medicine cat" His tail tip twitched at realizing she might not know what that meant, "I heal the sick and injured and sometimes share dreams with StarClan" He'd add on before giving a friendly smile, "What's your name? Are you visiting the campgrounds with twolegs this time of year too?"

When danger greets you with a smile
A long furred blue tabby tom with low white, long pointed ears with curved tips and dazzling blue eyes. Usually walks with a jingle in his step. Good listener and always thoughtful.

A friendly voice! Relief flooded through Aurora as she shot a grateful smile toward the tom making his way toward her. She had been mindful of the RiverClan camp, she didn't mean to intrude, not after last time with the young kit. Thoughts of that little one pressed at her heart. Had she made it out safely? Was she alright? Had she fully recovered? When she herself had been hurt, her two legs always whisked her away to the funny-smelling two leg place. But this was different... Wild, untamed, without familiar rules. How did these cats ensure the safety of their own? Did they rely on the earth itself? Improvised shelters? The river? Perhaps this young tom could explain.

" Splendid. " she murmured, ears flicking as he confirmed that they lived with the earth and protected it, just as it provided for them. RiverClan, one of five, she thought. Five camps? Did they all fish in the river? Ah, no... The moor, the forests, the marsh... Those didn't sound like swimming places at all. " StarClan? " she mewed, confusion knitting her whiskers and making them tremble. " Is that... One of the clans then? Do they live in the moor, StarClan? " She blinked once, trying to reason it out. The moor was open, sparse of trees... Easy to see the stars, yes...

" Oh... Jinglemoon! " This one is the healer, the medicine cat, she realized. " The kit! " Her words tumbled out in a rush, eyes widening. " The poor little one that was hurt by the dog, is she alright? Melody... I think that was her name... Did she survive? You must know, if you are the medicine cat, right? " She blinked, cheeks warming in embarrassment. " Golly jeez... I'm sorry, my manners are all over the place! I'm Aurora. I visit this place almost every year, though, I think this might be one of the last... " she admitted, a troubled look upon her face.
