border in a silver swirl ᪥ JOINING (backwritten)

[MAGNOLIASHINE]

Desperation- it is the main motivator for Magnolia's arrival at the perimeter of the looming pine forest. She's known a life of solitude too long and her harrowing escape from the claws of a rogue gave her the answer she'd subconsciously searching for; that she must go to Skyclan. She does not come for her mother- in fact she attempts to not think of her, it brings up too much emotional strife- but meeting Blazingheart was one more drop in the bucket of all the reasons Magnolia seeks to join. There's a terrible feeling of loneliness that has gnawed at her spirit for many moons and now she comes with half the jubilance she first met Blazingheart with.

The blue cat trekked day and night from the Horseplace, where the attack occurred, stopping only to steal some Kittypet food left outside on a porch and to revaluate her injuries. Only upon arriving to camp did the pain set in from her sprained ankle, thankfully the cuts on her leg and shoulder have faded to a dull stinging sensation by the time she's at the clan's border. She purposefully arrives at dawn, a head tilted upwards pointedly- Blaze said they climbed, didn't he? "Hi...?" Magnolia calls out, widened eyes surveying the trees and the sparse foliage littering their territory. She wipes her tongue around her maw, flinching slightly as her saliva touches the scratch marring her maw.

The first indication of a patrol was their scent first- they all smelled similar to Florabreeze and Blaze- and as she registers their presence she slinks back, her looming height shrinking tenfold. That fear which consumed her just days before rouses and threatens to propel her back into the maze of the Twolegplace. "I'd like to join..." Magnolia mews timidly, she begins to feel slightly queasy as the patrol congregate and her threadbare ears flick back. Had she made a mistake to trust they won't hurt her? Now she thinks of her mother... they'd not harm her if they knew her identity, right? "My ma, she's..." Her lips purse as she tries to remember the term Blaze had used. "...she's like a First Warrior, heh? Florabreeze..."

[TWITCHBOLT]

Perhaps after so long his hackles shouldn't have spiked so sharply, hearing anything unfamiliar- they had faces popping up at their borders all the time, after all. It was a habit he'd probably never be able to shake, though... the same way that, no matter how much effort he went through to still himself, a jitter always jerked one of his muscles eventually. Today, it was his right eyelid- it stuttered, blinked wildly as he neared the newcomer, something both quizzical and cold igniting his amber-struck eye.

A frown flitted on his face, kitted his brows. "Huh?" Lips trembled, and he narrowed his eyes. "Didn't- didn't know Florabreeze had a daughter," he murmured to whoever attended this patrol with him- still, the information she seemed to know about her so-called mother was almost accurate. Surely someone who was trying to trick them would make sure to get everything right?

Blood twinged in the air- Twitchbolt noticed then the cuts on her, and a bit of his suspicion faded. "Did you- did you get in a fight? Is someone following you?" Ugh, and interrogation probably wasn't going to end up productive- his eyelid kept going, going, his tail swatted at something... "She's a, uhh, lead warrior. Yeah."

[Florabreeze]

She lingers behind the patrol, chattering to Jellypaw about how her progress is going. Particularly she's discussing her apprentices climbing, sight set on the tree tops above them. "Maybe we can try climbing the Tallpine later today, I think you could do it!" It was a quiet test, to see just how eager her apprentice was to train. There had been noticable changes over their moons together, which brought the maine coon some admiration and pride. She hadn't realised that they fell behind until there was chatter distantly from them, she perks up at the mention of her name. The voice is feminine, sounding stern as if life had chiseled away a youthful tone but didn't quite finish the job. As she approaches the black tabby finds a familiar scent of rosemary, tinged with that metallic sanguine scent of blood. The rosemary is familiar, the blood is not, the only time she smelled it was when her daughter clacked her fangs together inches away from her own muzzle.

With a flick of her tail she guides her apprentice to follow her as she catches up to the patrol. The figure at the border was just who she thought it might be, "Magnolia?" There's a tremour in her tone, a wobble of a steely resolve. A vulnerability she tends to not share with those within the camp bounds. She tended to hide behind a sunny disposition, she had barely disclosed of her daughter to begin with. The only cats in camp currently to know about her is Silversmoke and Kitestorm.

There's something wrong, that much is obvious. Cuts marring her where they hadn't before, she thinks to ask if she's okay. It's clear that she's not, would she just be damaging their already tumultuous relationship if this was perceived as contrived? "Are you okay? What happened?" She asks anyways, not wanting her estranged daughter to believe that she doesn't care. Right, Twitchbolt has the right idea... As much as she yearns to cross the border and try to clean wounds that she doesn't know how her paws remain still. Duty upholds her maternal instincts, though they yowl and thrash begging to be set free.

There's a pleading look to her, silently begging for Magnolia to answer the deputy's questions. She presumes there's a desire to join, she hadn't heard it explicitly but she wouldn't be here otherwise, right? "Would you want to stay here... Full time? You don't have twolegs to return to, right?" She doubts that her free spirited daughter had found herself new twolegs to look after her based on what she's understood about what happened with the ones that had taken her to begin with.

[Fireflyglow]

Anyone who knew Fireflyglow well, knew that he absolutely abhorred giving away herbs to cats that aren't SkyClan. When their Clan needed his herbs more as it is, sharing them with someone who isn't SkyClan irritated him beyond words. So of course, when he strolls behind Twitchbolt, tail pressing against his trembling side, he grimaces at the smell of blood. Magnolia claimed to be the child of Florabreeze, and Fireflyglow turns his head in confusion as his friend arrived. Practically confirming.

"..Let us have this conversation in my den. Twitchbolt?" Fireflyglow flicks his blind gaze towards the Deputy, as if waiting for him to have anything to say about it. He doesn't like the idea of letting a damn stranger into their camp, but he couldn't let Florabreeze's kin die. Flora had been kind to him. She always had.​

[BLAZINGHEART]

𓆩✦𓆪 — "Magnolia?" His voice rings out as he follows the rest of the patrol, he isn't far behind Fireflyglow and his fuzzy ears perk forward at the sight of his friend that he had met within the Twolegplace. His face seems to light up with a smile as he trots over with his fluffy tail up in the air in an excited manner and admittedly, the young warrior forgets the border that's meant to keep strangers out as large paws threaten to cross it. He stops in his tracks noticing that the metallic smell of blood clings to her body and his expression contorts with concern for his friend, he glances over to those on the patrol hoping that they'd allow her to come back to camp with them... with him. His uncle suggests that they continue the conversation within the medicine den and Blazingheart nods his head far too quickly, too eagerly at that suggestion then glances over towards Twitchbolt with widened eyes "Can she? Magnolia's a friend of mine." He says as if his opinion would matter in the end but he's stupidly hopeful especially since she's hurt and he'd feel awful if she got sent back to the Twolegplace in that condition.

If the deputy relents and allows her to come with, its then that Blazingheart makes the bold step over the border to join Magnolia's side so that she may lean against him for support just as she had given him when he wandered into the Twolegplace. "Where the hell have you been, loca? His voice lighthearted but the question genuine and makes him wonder who had attacked his friend to begin with, Blazingheart tentatively presses his side against hers in a form of comfort knowing that the only ones familiar to the blue toned molly is himself and well, her mother that she didn't seem too fond of. "I'm glad you're here but... are you okay?" Are you sure that you want to join? Another part of him wants to ask but it doesn't dare leave his maw in fears of the molly potentially leaving if he sounds uncertain of her arrival to their border.
