"I hear he's a tough fighter though. But with paws like that, he's probably slower than a badger." Grasslight snickered, waving her tail before she nodded quickly. "Northstar was basically ShadowClan itself! Most of the clan has only ever known her as leader. It was a weird change, that's for sure. Even Swiftstar's leadership seemed more...natural, than anyone else's." She admitted.
"Of course! If I'm going to be a warrior, I need to know these things like the back of my paw." Weaselpaw puffed her chest proudly, before she finished clearing the dirt from the patch on her father's pelt. "See? Much better. Now you only look slightly mud-logged."

Cheetahheart shook her head. "You forget who Cedarstar's father is. I've battled Closesky before, he's unbeatable." Though she nodded in agreement to what Grasslight said about Northstar. "I don't think the forest could even fathom losing Northstar."
Dashclaw chuckled. "Thank you, Weaselpaw. It does feel better to get a lot of that mud off of me." He stood up to shake out his pelt. "I don't understand how my father handled it all the time."

"Well. I guess all cats get old some day." Grasslight admitted. "Northstar was just...real old, by then. Nothing could stop that." She gazed thoughtfully towards the border. "My grandfather used to tell me stories, of the battles before Northstar. Starclan, it was hard to imagine a cat named Darkstar when all I knew was Northstar. Hard to imagine the ShadowClan of the past is not the same as the ShadowClan of the present..." She murmured.
"I think, personally, that Grandfather was just good at it naturally. I think he liked it a lot, so he did really well...But. If I'm honest, I don't think you like this a lot at all. I don't wanna lose you because you took the wrong tunnel and trapped yourself or something..." Weaselpaw shuffled her paws a bit awkwardly.

Cheetahheart nodded in agreement. "According to the elders of my youth, all WindClan and ShadowCLan ever did in those days was fight."
Dashclaw flicked his ear at his daughter's admission. It was true, he had no care for being a tunneler, for getting mud in his fur and tearing his claws in the earth and especially not for the dark and tangling tunnels that weaved through the moors, but he had to do this, for Rabbitdash. "I'll get better at it." Dashclaw flicked his tail across Weaselpaw's ear, trying to be encouraging. "I may never reach Rabbitdash's level, but I'll get better. Especially with someone like you teaching me, Weaselpaw."

(Alright! Sorry if my replies are short btw, I just finished working on some homework and my brain is kinda fried at the moment so I’m having trouble coming up with longer replies lol) “I’d love that.” Brownleaf purred in response. (It’s all good! It’s good to hear from you again :3 ) “I had a feeling you would.” Meadowbrook teased, swishing her tail past his muzzle invitingly as she padded towards the gorse walls of camp. “It’s much nicer when it’s just the two of us.” She purred, ignoring a roll of queasiness she had been feeling lately. She chalked it up to overworking at times. Brownleaf followed his mate, keeping pace at her side. “It is.” He said softly, pausing as they stepped out onto the moor. He sighed as the wind buffeted his fur. “As much as I love the tunnels, I have to admit, being out here on the surface of the moor and in the wind can really feel wonderful sometimes.” He admitted. “Just don’t let any of the moor-runners know I said that.” He added with a humorous glance at Meadowbrook.

Dovestep followed Cheetahheart and Grasslight. “It’s strange how clans can go fluctuate from hating each other to being friends so frequently.” The gray she-cat spoke. “Scarstar and Northstar had been leaders almost my whole life. At times it seemed hard to believe WindClan and ShadowClan had ever been enemies— especially so recently before their leaderships.”

Especially with someone like you teaching me, Weaselpaw." "I heard sometimes it got brutal. Fatal. Moreso than other battles." Grasslight shuddered a bit at the thought. Weaselpaw would not admit how deeply the words affected her, how much they meant to her, to know she was needed in such a way. She hid her delight with a proud puff of her chest as she promised. "I'll do the best I can to help you do the best you can. If you really wanna do this, then who am I to say no? Tunneling is the best!"

Cheetahheart nodded in agreement with Dovestep. "Now that Swiftstar and Cedarstar are leaders, I'm not sure how long peace with last between our Clans. ShadowClan may have helped us retake ThunderClan for Lightningstar, but I think toms like Swiftstar and Cedarstar would clash."

"A tunneler is just as entitled to the moorland winds as a moor-runner is. We just do it all." Meadowbrook reminded, before her voice grew steady and assuring. "Your secret is always safe with me, you know this. Any secret of yours, is safe with me. Always."

When it seemed at last no patrol was going to head his way, Redshine gave up with an impatient huff and turned back to the camp. Maybe he should wait by the warriors den and hoped the deputy or one of the senior warriors assigned him something to keep his paws as busy as his mind.

I guess the moor-runners have just been tainting my view of the moor.” Brownleaf replied. He let out a soft chuckle. “I don’t think I have many dark secrets that need to be protected, but thank you.” He added with an appreciative smile.

"Well, if you ever do, you know just who to come to." Meadowbrook offered with an easy smile. She flicked Brownleaf on the shoulder, before she mewed. "We'll have to hear their loud pawsteps when they start running around the moor without a care. As if they can't even consider that cats are working beneath them." She scoffed.

They were so loud you’d think it was a pack of stomping badgers, not cats.”

“Flattery must be your strongest suit.” Meadowbrook smirked at his teases, though her eyes trained on him with interest. “Do not sell yourself so short either. If anyone here deserves praise, it is you. Starclan knows why it’s not you up there with the nine lives, or organizing the patrols.”

If anyone here deserves praise, it is you. Starclan knows why it’s not you up there with the nine lives, or organizing the patrols.” Brownleaf felt like he should protest, but he couldn’t deny he liked the praise... and the thought of being leader. “Well... the idea sure is nice, but I don’t think Swiftstar or Blacktail are going anywhere anytime soon. Anyways, you interrupted me.” He said with twinkling eyes. “You’re a brilliant warrior, and on top of that you manage to also be the prettiest cat in all the clans. I don’t know how you can handle it! “...And if I ever happen to become leader, I promise that you’ll be my number one choice for deputy. You deserve it.”

Meadowbrook’s eyes flickered with deep admiration at his words. She knew then and there that she either needed to get rid of Blacktail, or get moving on Swiftstar’s death. She did not want to kill Blacktail as much though. Brownleaf would be more likely to be chosen as deputy if Blacktail gained his lives and Swiftstar was out of the picture.
Then, she could focus on getting rid of Blacktail, one life by one. It was nothing personal, but the prospect of Brownleaf as leader, and her as his deputy, was so tantalizing. She purred at the praise.
“I am quite the multitasker, my dear. All of it, for you.” She promised.

Brownleaf smiled at Meadowbrook, blissfully unaware of her dark plotting. “Just make sure to do something for yourself, I don’t want you to overwork yourself just doing things for me.” He said with a laugh.

She brushed his side lightly, pressing against him.

Swiftstar sat in his den, his tail flicking as he watched the camp from inside
Frostpetal lay outside the nursery, her belly swollen with kits.
Silverspirit was sharing prey with Fireblaze
Dustfire was playing with Breezekit, batting a mossball back and forth with him. The blind warrior was pleased that his reaction times were getting better.
Sunstep was sleeping in a patch of sunlight.

Birchstep wandered into camp with a yawn. He had been up early in the tunnels, his paws and coat muddy from his work.
Fernheart lay just outside the nursery, letting Cloudkit climb all over her.

(That's fine with me Blazer if it's alright with everyone else. I don't want to jump the gun here yet with things still going on in Thunder. If Jules doesn't get on by the time Thunder's finished maybe we can push WindClan before SkyClan, but I don't want to upset anyone)

Fallowmeadow was grooming her fur after a nap, yawning she headed over to her mate, plopping down beside him. "hello my dear." she mewed purring.
Eclipsesky was humming softly in the medicine cat den, the tom had been doing better these days.
Swallowfeather was sitting with Sandfall sharing a small rabbit with her son.
Cloverleaf and Wolfstep were practicing battle moves near the edge of camp. The siblings tumbling around.
Sagefoot was sitting outside the nursery, grooming Juniperkit as she watched Larkkit run around.

Frostpetal purred at her mate. "I'm not too bad, how are you love?" Her tail curled happily as he neared.
Swiftstar purred. "Hello beautiful." He said, licking her ear affectionately. "The sun feels nice today, doesn't it?"
