The wind rustled the dry grasses and playfully weaved through Aspenstar's fur. A nice day he chose to be out - he could smell rain on the way. Despite the light grey clouds overhead, sunlight still managed to filter through and comfortably warm his pelt. The ginger tom glanced over his shoulder to make sure his companion wasn't falling behind; with an affirmative nod to himself, he continued, bounding over the little stream they were walking along. It was barely a few pawsteps deep and colorful pebbles were scattered along the bottom. Soon, this branch of the river would dry up, gradually becoming a mere trickle. For now, though, the water felt cool on his paws and provided a sense of calm.
"You ever forget," He started, voicing his thoughts aloud, "that, like, we haven't been here for very long? The new territories, I mean."
Aspenstar took a pebble from the stream and started to kick it in front of him as he walked and talked. He didn't expect an answer from Fogpool, but it was nice to be out here with another cat and have someone who would listen to whatever he said. Aspenstar sighed, tilting his head back a bit as he looked to the sky. Technically they were supposed to be scouting the territory, but it was just the two of them. No one would mind.
"Obviously, y'know, so much happened, how could I forget? But at the same time," He tsked, trying to find his next words, "but during times like these, when everything's calm, there's nothing to worry about, it feels like we've always been here."
Maybe he wasn't making much sense, but it didn't matter. Fogpool would listen, he was sure. It was fun to bounce ideas and thoughts off the grey tom - who would have thought that they were from different clans at one point? He just clicked so well with Fogpool, or at least he liked to think he did. They trusted each other enough to travel together during the journey, so that must count for something. Maybe in another life they would have grown up together as friends. Or maybe not. His head was wandering to other places at this point.
