Tiger-Lily

Small cat print? Kitten? Perhaps there is a trail or scent markers to follow?

She regards the area, something she is missing about the ground. She investigates further. Is the ground wet perhaps? Does it have a smell? Does it look different to the area surrounding it? Has it been dug? All these possibilities go through her mind.

She shares them with Soot in case she thinks of anything else.

The tracks are from a smaller cat, not as small as a kitten, but certainly not a full grown cat, or so it would seem. The ground is indeed wet and has the same smell as that of the spirit, salt air.

The ground doesn't look disturbed, though certainly something went on there. Whatever it was, the signs of it, have been obscured. Tiger's keen nose catches a whiff of blood mixed in with the wet earth. Something died here.

Soot tilted her whiskers forward and sneezes. "The size of the prints is bigger than prints of that skeleton found in the circle a few sleeps ago on the hike my Burden and I walked. So not a kitten. Small though."

She wrinkled her nose and swiped at it. "More sea smell. Why would one like us want to bring the spirit? Maybe the cat who died before would know who this cat is."

"I smell blood. Maybe a sacrifice? The prints suggest a living cat, surely?"

Her tail is waving from side to side, clearing she is concerned about this situation.

"Maybe we can follow the tracks?"

A wise thought - the cat who made them is small," said the petite cat, "near small as a kitten. Certainly a living cat, I wondered though if this would be a cat who would have been known by the one who lived here before."

The tracks of the little cat disappear not far from the pool. The pair look about and as they wander, they discover a pounce or two away the paw prints of a larger cat. It is Soot's keen eyes that spot a small mark on one of the pads in the print. The larger cat is the same cat as the smaller one. They are able to follow its tracks as far as the road and then they loose its trail.

She points this out to Tiger-Lily and her tail lashes a few more times.

Tiger-Lily

She looks at the marks that Soot pointed out.

"Well spotted."

She says softly.

"My mother told me that some cats can change shape and size, maybe that is what happened here? Do you.. or maybe the others.. know a cat with that ability?"

She considers.

"Perhaps it is someone from the Parliament seeing how well we are doing?"

Soot

She leaned closer and inhaled deeply. Her mouth was slightly open to let the air flow roll over her tongue as well. That way she might have a better chance of recognizing the scent now or in the future.

"Mmmmaybe," she said thoughtfully, rolling the word over. "Some, like Sable can do such changes."

Tiger-Lily

"I think we should ask around later to find out if it was one of ours.. otherwise this could have more serious implications."

She looks around just checking they are still alone.

"Let's head back, check my ward and then go meet up with the others.. unless there is something else you have in mind? And Soot, I do appreciate you coming along."

Her whiskers twitch as she smiles.

She filed away any scent for later reference and tilts an ear forward in agreement with Tiger-Lily's suggestion.

"It is a strong ward," she says. "Better then many I've seen."

The pair head back towards the dwelling. As they enter the food preparation room they note their brethern has wandered off. In point of fact they can just make out me-rowwing going on upstairs.
