(Oh whom do I wish to put here...hmmmm)

The tom had just walked back into camp feeling more revigorated and renewed than when he had left. Sagespirit always knew there was no such thing as being too old for practice and exercise (not that he was super old yet but he was getting there) and so had went out to do just that. There was something about running, twisting, jumping, and diving that really woke something up in the soul that you never knew existed. The older cat was now happy and in peace or that was until he accidently bumped into Ravenstar. Confused but trying to be polite the tom sat straight up. "Oh I didn't see you there Ravenstar, sorry about that."

(omg this is lowkey perfect cause me and jadie were just talking bout Enigma lowkey crushing on her cat but she left MoonClan and because Enigma will just blame anyone, he's gonna blame it on Ravenstar xD #firstbrofight )


Enigmaheart was usually in an unbreakable, sanguine mood of muted intensity even when things weren't going great or tediously frustrated, he always found a thrill and fun in the daily challenge of life. Today however was not his usual casual stride, there was a slight increase to his pace that demanded to close the distance between him and his target. His head not up and glancing at who was around but rather tilted down and focused on the one thing in front of him and could not care less who else was around, with stormy eyes that predicted the lashing he was ready erupt with.

"Ravenstar!' the black and white tabby barked as he was a few tails lengths away, and he did not wait for an answer, he lunged forward getting in his face as he raise and pulled back a paw before swinging it full force at the leader's face. Still, there was some drag to swing, the lunge was just to surprise him but the swing was slow, easy to miss or rather not inflict any serious damage. He was mad, and stubborn like his parents before him but not crazy enough to seriously harm his leader and someone he did consider a bit of a friend.

"Good idea!" Enigmaheart sarcastically grinned through gritted teeth as he reached out to the tom digging his claws into his fur to yanked him closer (what's the cat equivalent of grabbing someone by the shirt? cause enigma's doing that) "Why don't you go first?" he hissed playing the vague game, because being mature and talking was not processing in the moment and was assuming the tom just had to know what he was talking about or what he did. Whatevere it was, it was something that clearly stuck a nerve with the tom.

Enigmaheart's hissed at Ravenstar's near bite and shoved him back away - he swore he could almost feel teeth graze his nose an unnerving uncomfortableness when he remembered how sensitive it was and how much mortal wounds can hurt. It made him disregard answering the question that came before it.

"No, the problem- " he raised a paw "is what you're doing..." he swiped that paw over his nose, the tiny bead of bright red blood forming and getting smeared over the dull redwood tone of his nose and making the black fur around it look wet by comparison; but it could not be properly noticed in the moment. "it's you. . . You need to get it together and lead better." the tom was still seething in his eyes but also not making any more sense than before.

"Well if you don't know how to lead, then maybe you shouldn't be leader!" Uh oh, now he done it and crossed the line even he knew he shouldn't have, but unfortunately Ravenstar's words struck true in being easier said than done. "I actually hunt pretty good so you can take that back, but at least I know I don't-!" the tom paused to take a deep breathing from his yelling to ironically tone it down. "I know I don't control my emotions." he spoke more calmly but still with growl to his tone. "And I am working on that, but I am also smart enough to recognize that even if I was asked to be leader, I would turn it down than to have such a big ego to just accept it for it glory." he started regressed again by having a mocking tone as he said 'big ego' but there was a reason no one sent this tom as a negotiator or clan representative - he just got too personal and instigating.

"So maybe you should..." the black and white marbled tom simply didn't finish his sentence, he was there all riled up, staring Ravenstar in the face with a glare but his lips pursed in an expression that gave nothing away. His jaw clenched but the next words weren't coming out
"Tch.. " a corner of his mouth started to scowled as he considered the moment and all that anger fleeting away and feeling so small even when compared to the tiny bit of sadness and guilt started to form when he thought about he actually liked Ravenstar and didn't want him to actually step down. They were just bitter words from losing the cat he liked more than him, but that didn't mean he hated him. He just felt so anger with him in the moment that was just seconds ago and yet already feeling so long ago in his heart.

"Nevermind," he got very quiet, "this is so stupid..." and turned his back to Ravenstar.

Enigmaheart should've learned to walk away without saying anything - even now would be a good time to start but good goddess Selene help this poor hard-headed child. The black-and-white tabby turned back around, still walking away backwards.

"Then you better prove me wrong." he dared the young leader. "Turn it around, lead better, whatever it takes so another cat doesn't walk out on us or I swear ..." he didn't know what to say for a pause, what else could he do that wasn't just straight treason? "I swear if you're not trying, if you're just making up excuses - I'll be here to call you a liar." Holding someone accountable was good enough and passive - wait this tom? being passive? Shocker. Yet considering they were on the same side and he did like Ravenstar, it was a wonder if he could ever hurt a friend beyond their little scuffle.

Selene and whispers - never seen and yet his sister would wonder why he has so much doubt in his own clan's beliefs. He could sympathize with Ravenstar if he wasn't already so caught up in deciding he was done arguing with the leader and wasn't going to respond. Enigmaheart was frustratingly annoying like that, taking control of the conversation by ending it.

/Stay line, ... joining them if you misstep like that again/
The little provoke should've gotten him to react and perhaps it would have if he weren't... the leader? his freind? Hard to tell what the limiting factor was, but he did hear it all right. It was clear in the way head looked down at the floor as if to control the anger; what remained unseen was just how his face darken leaving a heavy air of danger and uncertainty that followed the long-haired tom as he walked away. (I think they next time they see each other is their snow ball fight lol)


Meanwhile, several cats including Lanternglow, Syndrome-enigma and Lilysoul entered camp and took notice to what was going on but none of them knew why or what had happened. (is there a cat of mine you'd like to interact with more?)
