((Rika..Friend..?  *Picks up flower and gives to Rika*  Frieennd..?  c: *Drool*))

"How do you know that I was not, in fact, minding my own business myself?"  Rainstorm replied, purposely twisting around her words in a confusing way.  She was even starting to confuse herself slightly.

((*smile* Good Riri! *Throws chocolate square into the air*))

"What sort of business would you have in a bush, stalking me?" Iceblink answered.

((Oh, post on the other crystal RP!!!)) 

((Chocolate :D  *Noms*

And I'm waiting for a opening for Rainstorm to come in in that RP c:))

"How do I know if you, in fact were not stalking me, as I was just taking a nap inside a bush?"  Rainstorm replied, smiling a little. 

"If I were stalking you, it would be logical to be in hiding, would it not?" iceblink said.

((Rainstorm already is in that RP, remember? Basil gave her the tattoo, and then Rika's charrie bumped into her and now is having a conversation with Basil)) 

((*Headdesk*  I mean for her to come into the conversation XD))

"It would, but maybe you thought I was sleeping, and you decided I would not see you if you stalked me.  You were wrong, of course."  Rainstorm replied. 

((OOOOHHH. XDDD))

"Which brings up the point: why would you sleep in a bush when the terrain is littered with caves and burrows plenty large enough to inhabit wolves. And if you were sleeping, how come you heard me when I called out? Most wolves cannot hear in their sleep." Iceblink pointed out. 

((:P))

"Because a bush is much more comfortable."  She replied simply.  "Also, hearing is one of the few senses that you have when you are sleeping, and it actually becomes heightened when you sleep, so it would be strange if I didn't hear you call out."

"Iceblink! What's taking so long?!" flare howled.

Iceblink flinched at the sound of Flare's voice. He growled softly. "Shut up Flare!" he barked annoyed. He was trying to hide him! Could his brother just shut his mouth for ten minutes? He stared at Rainstorm, half expecting her to go on a rant about secrets like his mother always would.

Flare trotted into the forest and met Iceblink. "why so bitter Iceblink? Don't want me to meet your new lady-friend?" he teased.

Iceblink growled. "She's not my friend, and she's certainly no lady." Iceblink wanted to add that he didn't like her at all other than someone who could argue as good as him, but he didn't want to lie. Nor did he want to get on Rainstorm's nerves.

"So why are you trying to hide her from me?" Flare said stubbornly.

Iceblink groaned. "Flare, just shut up, okay," he lowered his voice "I'll tell you later"

Flare's tail wagged slowly as he turned his gaze to Rainstorm. "So you're Rainstorm?" he asked.

"You were eavesdropping too?!" Iceblink barked.

Flare laid his ears back guiltily. "It's possible...."

Iceblink groaned and sat down, exasperated.

"I'm Flare, then" Flare said to Rainstorm. 

Rainstorms eyes flashed.  "Nice to meet you Flare."  She said, looking at Flare from head to toe, hiding her smile when she saw his crystal.  "You.. have a fire-controlling crystal, correct?"  She asked him after a few moments of silence. 

Flare chuckled. "Don't get your fur all ruffled" he said, his tail wagging slightly. "It was just a joke, you know, funny?"

Iceblink groaned. 

Flare and Iceblink looked at each other, than at Rainstorm.

"I... ehhh... gotta go!" Flare said, giving no one a chance to ob
ject before her bounced off.

"Flare- just-  ughh!" Iceblink growled, exasperated. He turned back to Rainstorm and sighed. "Well, fun is doing something that you like to do, some wolves like hunting, others fightng, Flare goofs off..."
