The soaked up warrior steps out of the river, shakes her body to rid any water left in the fur, and then padded away from the river. Her eyes observed the area with interest, until that look turned over where the Sunningrocks were. This makes Ambersmudge tilt her head curiously and wonder about the location she is gazing onto.
As the cinnamon she-cat slowly approaches, her ear catches a rustling sound coming from the forest. Ambersmudge stops on track before she can sniff the marking border and takes big steps back. It didn't turn out well though, as she stumbles back instead, flopping on her side and rolling downwards. Luckily, the motion stopped before she'd re-enter the chilly river.
Ambersmudge weakly gets up and quickly positions in a sitting manner. Quietly looking at the river as she awaits who will be coming out of that forest. In her head the warrior finds it embarrassing, yet her mouth crept with a grin. Holding on the laughter on what had happened.

It was rather peaceful compared to most days, cold, but peaceful. Though perhaps that was because Greypebbles was alone. That’s when he found peace more often than not. He had no doubt that the Sunningrocks would hold some warmth to ease the slight chill he felt from the current weather. Though, before he could step too close to Sunningrocks, he noticed an unfamiliar cinnamon pelted she-cat. She was soaked which means she had been swimming, but Greypebbles had noticed that she climbed up weakly. Had she taken some king of fall? Regardless, it was going to gnaw at him if he didn’t investigate.
The grey spotted warrior effortlessly slipped through the trees and jumped down onto the forefront of Sunningrocks, though he did hold himself with caution while doing so, he didn’t know if this could be an ambush of any kind, he was well aware that RiverClan have been wanting to take Sunningrocks for moons on end and it still did not belong to them. Not to mention he hadn’t really met this she-cat so he wasn’t sure if she would pounce at him with unsheathed claws.
"Excuse me" The fairly young warrior spoke, trying to hide is anxious nature in his words, covering the caution in his words with a somewhat weak sense of confidence, he didn’t want to deal with any trespassers today and it showed. "This is ThunderClan territory, explain yourself" he added, though it didn’t seem like he wanted to talk in such a demanding way, but he did nonetheless, he had to build his confidence somehow

It made her body jump a little, as she heard the voice coming from behind. Ambersmudge spun her head to where they are, seeing a grey spotted cat distant but near. Seeing how direct the tom spoke, the warrior slowly stood up and faced him with a friendly dip.
"Ah Hello! say, did you say Thunderclan territory? my apologies, oh, I shall move away then if that's what you expect me to do" she spoke with understanding. Understood how her tumbling into the Thunderclan territory is rather disruptive. "Couldn't keep my eyes out of this special area here, a perfect spot I presume your clan is pleased to claim, hm?" as Ambersmudge could guess with a genuine tone. Although she knew little about the tension, between Riverclan and Thunderclan's conflict over the Sunningrocks, the cinnamon warrior is oddly friendly to this warrior from Thunderclan.
'If' Ambersmudge is told to move over to her clan territory, then she will go back to the other side of where it is. For now, the curious warrior awaits the tom's reaction patiently.

Greypebbles hesitated for a moment, his paws shifting slightly as he tried to summon the confidence he wasn’t used to displaying. His heart raced a little as he met Ambersmudge’s friendly gaze, but he held firm. He was a ThunderClan warrior, and this was his territory.
"Y-Yes, this is ThunderClan territory" Greypebbles stammered briefly before clearing his throat, his voice soft but steady. "I... I appreciate your understanding, but it’s important that you return to your side of the border. Our clans have had enough trouble over Sunningrocks, and I wouldn’t want to stir anything up." His thoughts wondered for a moment, the thought of a battle making his spine shiver "... In this season especially"
He glanced at her with a tender expression, feeling a bit guilty for being so direct. "I know it’s easy to get caught up in how beautiful the area is. Sunningrocks does have that... special charm." His tone softened, his earlier nervousness easing a bit as he realized Ambersmudge wasn’t being confrontational. "But I’m sure RiverClan has its own beauty too, right?"
Greypebbles stepped a bit closer, his spotted fur catching the light as he gave her a gentle, almost apologetic smile. "I’m not trying to be harsh, really. I just... I have to look out for my clan. You understand, don’t you?" His gaze softened further, his assertiveness still present, but tempered by his naturally kind-hearted nature.

Ambersmudge gets a better view of this Thunderclan warrior now that he moved up to her. From the way he talked, it's very clear she should move back to the Riverclan side now. The warrior's body starts to shift to the direction of where she'll go. Yet not before she acknowledged the tom's words by turning her head back on him.
"I do understand what you mean. If anything, I'm...willing to try hunting as much prey for my clan before uh. All the prey we casually catch goes scarce." It's not something she'll admit to her clanmates, yet is eager to share this with someone from a different clan. Ambersmudge just wants to prove that she isn't messing around or wants to stir up anything in his territory. Not that she even plans to at all.
"It is by accident, that I've tumbled and fell towards the direction of your clan territory. I should've watched my step and stayed on my side, but haha..guess it didn't go that way.." as she calmly admits about what had happened to her. Ambersmudge still pictures the incident to be funny but knew she doesn't wanna bring over humor when talking to someone new yet.
She took a moment to look down at her paws, it is pretty stiff because of the fall, then looked back at the tom with something in mind. "Hey, is it alright if you'd like to escort me back over to my territory?" her voice spoke with a friendly tone.

"Uh... well, these things happen" he said, his voice soft but steady. "I can understand how easy it is to lose track, especially in leafbare with all the snow and muck. The borders aren’t as clear as they are in greenleaf." He managed a small, reassuring smile, his tail giving a slight, friendly flick.
When she asked if he’d escort her back, Greypebbles felt his ears grow warm, but he nodded quickly. "I- I mean, of course. Just to be safe, right?" He glanced towards the border, then started forward at a cautious pace, making sure she kept up beside him. His steps were careful but sure as he navigated around the more slippery patches.
After a few quiet moments, he took a breath and managed to ask, "So… um, you’ve probably seen all kinds of interesting spots on your side, haven’t you? Do you have a favorite place in RiverClan?" His voice wavered a bit, but he managed to keep his tone warm, genuinely interested as he dared to keep up the conversation, hoping it didn’t come off as awkward.
With a moment of silence he realized he lacked introduction to this surprisingly friendly RiverClan she-cat. "Wait- what sort of fluff brain am I.. I haven't introduced myself" he let out a puff of misty air before adding "I'm Greypebbles"

Ambersmudge followed besides him, carefully stepping over the slippery patches. As she was about to pad over to her territory, the Thunderclan warrior spoke with a question, making the she-cat look back to him. "Oh yeah, there are a ton of interesting things from where I'm going to" she does remember dozens of things that are fascinating in her territory.
The warrior then padded into her territory, sat down with her tail laid behind, and gazed at him with a smile. "Well there's this place I like going to, where a ton of nice fish prey is around, and it's not so far from my camp!" as she spoke of the area in a cheery tone. "It's the Upper West Bank, the area I've first started hunting during my time as an apprentice. Haha..It was a great experience." She fell in a few happy memories such as learning to swim, hunting alongside other apprentices or warriors, and visiting her dam.
'Oh? Greypebbles? sounds...unique in a way' said in her mind after hearing the tom spoke more. Which he had encouraged Ambersmudge to begin introducing herself too, "Ah I'm pleased to know your name, Greypebbles, got a good name I'll say. Well my name is Ambersmudge!" she purrs out her name thoughtfully.

Greypebbles dipped his head, feeling warmth rise beneath his fur at her compliment, he didn't really make friends all that often and it showed in his shy stature, which he quickly made firm and sturdy upon realizing he was slouching. "Ambersmudge, that's a good name" he meowed softly, flicking his bobbed tail with a shy but genuine smile.
The small grey tom swallowed a lump in his throat and twitched his whiskers for a moment before letting out a breath that he had been holding deep down while encountering this she-cat. Greypebbles had confronted her fully expecting an attack, but that didn't happen, he actually enjoyed talking with her, and wondered why that was... "It's good to meet you properly" he purred, perking up his ears slightly.
He glanced back at her with a genuine curiosity, his blue-grey eyes twinkling as she spoke about fish hunting in the Upper West Bank. Though he did take a mental note of the fact it was leaf-bare and the river may even be frozen over later in the moon. "Fish hunting sounds... peaceful, actually. We don't get much of that in ThunderClan, but I'd like to try it sometime when I can"
Greypebbles shuffled his paws, almost embarrassed by the admission but determined to hold her gaze, hopefully not in a way that would make him seem weird, creepy or accusatory, but enough to make him seem friendly. Greypebbles liked Ambersmudge already and he didn't want to ruin what would be a good friendship, that is what Larchsong wanted him to do, right?
After a moment of deafening silence, Greypebbles added "It sounds like that place is special to you... a lot of good memories there, yeah? That's important" his voice gradually softened as he spoke, he understood how important territory could be, a small but proud glint in his eyes as he looked back to his own territory.
"I don't know if I've got the same kind of place, but maybe I will some day" He stated gentle, glancing back at Ambersmudge. But he didn't speak for a moment, looking for words to say "I should be getting back, I hope we will be able to see each other again"
