"Here we are." Muffy states, as they reach the barn. "Here's our barn right here."

Ivypool and Blossomfall hesitate for a bit, before following both Muffy and Sooty inside. The two of them casting glances around the barn, as they notice more cats inside, some old, and some young, but almost all of them looking curiously towards the two newcomers.

Both Ivypool and Blossomfall share a glance between one another, before catching up to the two toms in front of them. They didn't exactly expect for there to this many cats here already. While they're not sure exactly how many cats are in here, it looks to be almost half the amount of cats than there is back in ThunderClan.

As a ginger she-cat runs over to them, both Muffy and Sooty stop, causing Ivypool and Blossomfall to stop also.

"Muffy, who are these cats?" The she-cat asks, glancing over towards Ivypool and Blossomfall.

Muffy glances over at Ivypool and Blossomfall before purring. "These are Ivypool and Blossomfall of ThunderClan." He says. "They shall be staying with us for a little while."

"Muffy, don't you think we've already got enough cats staying in here already?" The she-cat asks, amusement clear in her voice.

"Course not." Muffy huffs. "We've got plenty of room for everyone in here, and the food is plenty!" He says. "Now, Nala. If you wouldn't mind directing Ivypool and Blossomfall to somewhere in here they can rest, that will be much appreciated."

The she-cat, Nala, purrs before making her way over to Ivypool and Blossomfall. "Follow me."

Both Ivypool and Blossomfall hesitate, before following her over to one corner of the barn. Ivypool takes notice that as Nala does this, some of the other cats are beginning to make their way over to the middle of the barn and gathering around Muffy and Sooty.

She only just manages to catch Muffy telling them that everything will be explained in the morning, but to let the newcomers rest for now. Even though Ivypool appreciates that, she's not sure what exactly she and Blossomfall are going to be able to tell them in the morning. She's not too sure on what these cats views are on two she-cats or two toms being mates with each other are.

Though, she must admit, that the two toms Muffy and Sooty seem rather close with each other. She had really only noticed that as they were making their way over to this barn though, and she's not quite sure if Blossomfall has noticed either.

"Thank you." Blossomfall says, once she and Ivypool are settled on the pile of hay in one corner of the barn.

Nala dips her head to them. "You're welcome." She says. "And, if you're hungry, I'm sure Muffy will send someone over with some fresh kill for the both of you."

Both Ivypool and Blossomfall nod their thanks to Nala, before the she-cat is walking away towards where the rest of the group of cats are.

Even though the cats from this group of cats they've met so far seem nice, they don't know if they can really trust the or not. But there's the possibility that they might just be being a little paranoid, and they have nothing to worry about with these cats.

And just maybe this could be the place where the two of them are able to be together as mates without any judgement from the Clans.

Though really it's mainly judgement from the other three Clans that they had recieved. The rest of ThunderClan are fairly okay with the two of them being mates with each other.

"What do you think of these cats?" Blossomfall asks, getting Ivypool's attention, once they know for sure that these cats can't hear them from where they're all sat near the middle of the barn.

"I don't know." Ivypool sighs, shaking her head. "They seem nice enough. Though we've only really met three of them. Who knows what the rest of them are like."

She honestly doesn't really know what to make out of a lot of these cats, especially when they've really only met Muffy, Sooty, and Nala. She guesses that they'll be introduced to the rest of the group in the morning though, and there's bound to be more cats in here then, seeing as Muffy had mentioned that a lot of cats come and go from time to time.

Blossomfall purrs a little, moving closer to Ivypool. "I think we might be just fine here."

Ivypool sighs, resting her head on her paws, as she looks over towards the group of cats, some of which who are looking over towards her and Blossomfall.

Closing her eyes, Ivypool lets out a yawn. "Well." She sighs. "Let's just hope you're right, Blossomfall."

All they can do, is hope...
