I Collect Red Stars

Claims

(August Year 1)

"She belongs with the wraiths" the Red Star claimed, looking at the larger, tougher Natural one in front of him smugly. How Vasily and Bjorn had gotten on this subject wasn't clear.
"Actually, she should be with the Stormcrows. You know, her people." Bjorn insisted, expression challenging.
"Ah.. don't I..-" hedge attempted to interject, but was interrupted by Vasily.
"Hush, ze grown ups are talking," he chastised. At that, the little Natty One looked at him flatly. "Hedge clearly belongs with ze wraiths, look at her stars. Besides, I can settle zis now." He finished, and without warning, the red star leaned over and licked the purple haired natural one on the arm. "Aha! Claimed." Vasily grinned at Bjorn. The other just smiled back, and proceeded to lick her other arm.
"She's ours." Vasily frowned at the other man and licked her arm again.
"She's a wraith." Another lick.
"Shes a crow." Bjorn solidified his statement by pouncing forward and licking the Red Star. "Now you belong to me so any property of yours is mine."
"Oh yeah? Well," Vasily darted over and licked the other man back. "Now you belong to the red wraiths and anything you own is ours."
Hedge just stared at the other two survivors, wondering what in stars name was going on. After a bit more squabbling, the two came to something of an agreement and looked at hedge together. She had a moment of anxiety, watching the two warily. One of them went to each side of hers and at the same time both licked her.
"Shes our Natural Star." They grinned, pleased to have found a solution. Hedge just sighed. At least she had found friends?
