I padded back into camp after taking a long walk at the break of dawn. Having ditched a patrol that was supposed to leave just after dawn. I guess I was early and didn't wait. Well, that was going to be my excuse, and there really wasn't a way for anyone to disprove it either. I knew how to fight. I made it known I could hunt very well. Yet I was still being gaited around half the time like an apprentice. It just thinned my patience... as if there was any. I have never been known to have a lot of that sorcery. Persistence and stubborness, surely yes, yes I have those.
But after I got back into camp, return empty mouthed and pawed from no game being caught. I that morning didn't care. And what's her name, the cob-web jaguar, Shabeel. Was very kind to get in my face about it. Why is it every time I cross paths with her, I am always more pissed than when I started. Ah wait, she demands I respect her. I don't know her! Everything I have seen is her being a shallow [censored] toward me. Yeah, good luck Shabs.
A bit later that day, Pluto, of everyone, was looking for me, luckily I got wind of that before she found me. So it was a game of cat and mouse... buuuuuuuuut... then I wound up walking into Chara, whom I was baffled was still Leader? Like honestly, why the Hell? Didn't she... she was who sold the whole Empire for one member. And even then, she was double crossed and was captured. She's a terrible leader. Why Pluto didn't take Leader before her is beyond me, makes me wonder if Pluto is a good leader either.
But anyway, Chara was oh so kind and sat on my tail until Pluto saw me. If Chara didn't have that title on her head, she so would have my claws in her eyes. Callouses jerk! So Pluto approached us, and I wasn't in trouble for ditching that patrol? Which was kind of nice, I probably would have swung at her if she tried to chew me out. I got away from that wretch of leader though. I don't like Chara, I don't respect her. I feel uneasy around her at all.
On top of that, I really didn't want to talk to much of anyone, aside from maybe Ashura to simply distract me from from how alone I really felt. Rhoda was gone, and there was no sign why she left. There was no sign of struggle, I went to where she was last seen, and tracked too, and went out farther. I came up empty. That was most certainly how I felt... empty, numb. Mad... why did she leave! Why did she not come looking in the city either? Is she selfish or something? Or sheerly stupid and dense!
So Pluto and I went looking for some golden asian cat, named Kivuli? It didn't take too long to find the orange cat fortunately, I wanted something better to do. I was about to say my farewell after Pluto introduced one to the other. That in itself was awkward. He was a stranger... but... BUT!
BUt then... Pluto said that he was my mentor?! I will be honest, I was not expecting that at all. And based on his face, neither was he. In Pluto's words, "You are training her, and you are listening to him," then she almost skipped away like a cub...
I looked at Kivuli with him meeting me with pretty well the same exact face. Bamboozled. Kiv started to call out that he had an apprentice, but now I was his... does he have two now? I asked him that, he shrugged not knowing what to do with it. At this point, it was sunhigh, noon, what ever you idiots call it. When the sun it straight up in the sky, that. I had an orange as my teacher, yet for some reason, he rose my curiosity, versus my previous mentor, Ray, whom always spent every moment in the Nursery. I am going to guess this guy is more active with his job and doesn't lounge all day. So by sunset, we had left and returned to camp with hunted game, going from a couple hares, that yellow feline that hopped like one was far from happy. That was amusing. And all the way up to a bird that would carry that yellow rabbit off like a snack... so I guess Pluto knew what she was doing, I refuse to believe that this was a decision from Chara.
