(Oh, I never wrote a start for Lighttail. Oops.)
- - Lighttail
Lighttail's anxiety was at it's peak. She occupied herself with busywork, trying to do everything possible to keep her mind off of the king's poisoning. Ever since their herbalists had been accused of poisoning Stoneheart, she'd been nearly unable to sleep. It was just too much. Her fur was unkempt, and her eyes were wide and and full of stress. She muttered angrily to herself about how stupid she thought everyone (particularly Thunderheart) was while she fiddled with a pile of marigolds and poppy seeds. She actually was the one who mixed the pile up, purely so she had something to do, but was now regretting it as she saw the tiny seeds continually slip through her paws.

- - Tawnyclaw At the sound of a cat approaching, Tawnyclaw turned around and saw Honeyburr waving. "Hello, Honeyburr. How are you doing?" she asked calmly, quieting her thoughts about the king's ruler ship. She'd gotten pretty good at keeping "treasonous" thoughts to herself, since she wasn't sure who to talk to about them with. Everyone was either openly loyal or openly disloyal, and it was hard to find a quiet middle ground. (Lol Tawnyclaw Honeyburr too.) "Fine I guess." Honeyburr said. "I'm not quite sure what to think about all this drama with the king. I don't know how everyone is so ready to shout their opinions from the rooftops." She added

- - Tawnyclaw
Tawnyclaw's eyes widened a little at this news. I suppose I'm not really alone here.., she sat down and started licking her paw with a relaxed slump in her back. "Yes, I agree... The cats here are far too loud and... Well, loud. I prefer to just keep quiet," she mewed. She curled her tail around her paws, relaxing her eyes slightly at the consolation that she may find a nice, quiet cat to talk to.

She curled her tail around her paws, relaxing her eyes slightly at the consolation that she may find a nice, quiet cat to talk to. "Its nice to just find an nice quiet corner of the castle sometimes and and lay in the sunlight and watch the dust motes dance through the beams." Honeyburr said as she settled down herself.

Tawnyclaw stopped licking her paw for a second and grinned slightly at Honeyburr. "Very poetic. I guess that's true," she chuckled, slowly turning her attention to the tapestries again. "I've been looking at these for a bit. I think that if I got to pick one like the king did, I'd pick this part..." She carefully outlined a picture of the detailed hilt of a knight's sword. It was intricate and engraved with patterns of golden thread and silver lining.

I guess I was too busy watching dust." She laughed at her silliness.

Waspbite walked the halls unsure what to do. He walked with an unmatchable swagger.
Rosebriar was in the sleeping chamber dozing.
Basilwhisker patrolled the Royal Families quarters.

- - Tawnyclaw
Tawnyclaw laughed lightly and took her paw down from the tapestry. "Yeah, you miss a lot when you're trying to spot tiny flakes in the air." She turned back to Honeyburr with a thoughtful look resting on her face. "I wonder if the royal family appreciates what they have. A whole castle serving them and taking care of them... Lately, I don't know..," she trailed off, realizing it would be unwise to reveal her opinions further to a loyal cat, which she assumed Honeyburr was.

I'm okay with opinions as long as they aren't loud." Honeyburr said with a purr. She has no clue I agree. (I think Honeyburr will reveal only to Tawnyclae how she truly feels)

- - Tawnyclaw
Tawnyclaw looked at her warily, then shrugged a little. Oh boy. Here we go.., she thought worriedly. "It's just a little irresponsible. The way they act lately. Thunderheart's whole 'I'M GONNA ACCUSE EVERYONE BECAUSE EVERYONE'S TO BLAME' seemed a bit out of line. Why would the herbalists poison him? And how would he even have gotten the herbs to him to poison him? It feels like they're hiding something..," she let out a sigh a slumped over a little. "The story doesn't really add up."

"No it doesn't really add up but the King can't leave us without leadership the way he did. He can't leave us to slowly suffer and die." Honeyburr paused. (I can't remember who actually poisoned the king wasn't it revealed last time we got this far?)

(It was Art's charrie, Sandstripe, but no one really knows yet. She's being secretive. ) - - Tawnyclaw Tawnyclaw started to realize that Honeyburr might actually have the same opinions, which let her relax a little. She stood up and lashed her tail a little. "I know! But I don't think the king will get away with this. Someone should probably-" Suddenly she froze, realizing she might be getting a little too serious and open. Bring it back, Tawny. She looked backe at the tapestry. "They really are beautiful."

Honeyburr was lashing her tail to. She decided to finish Tawnyclaw's sentence. "Someone should do something about it." She declared.
(Oh yeah I had read her talking about it.

"Yeah, maybe!" Tawnyclaw huffed. She felt a little anger at the royal family bubbling up, so she tried to restrain it with a deep breath, sitting once again on the cold stone floor. "But... Someone already did. Now wouldn't be the time. Thunderheart's suspicious of everyone," she responded, closing her eyes and considering the options for an overthrow by someone.

(Hey people!)
- - Tawnyclaw
Tawnyclaw turned her gaze back to Honeyburr and let out a little growl. "Trust me, I want to," she began. Ever since she was a kit, she thought she would be a good ruler, and when she saw the leaders start to act do irresponsible, she felt so furious with them. "I mean, I can't believe they're acting like this. We've all lost family to greencough! What makes them so special?" She let out a shaky sigh. "But what could anyone even do? Security will be at its max at this point, and thay kid sure isn't ready to rule, if she's still alive that is."

- - Flamewhisker
Flamewhisker saw Aspenwhisker and Littlespring come in through the Grand Hall to drop off their kill, and with a quick hop off the chair, he divided to follow them. Better than just moping around.., he thought. He followed them into the kitchen where the two were putting the prey onto the counter, and put on his trademark bright, happy-go-lucky smile. "Hi guys. Did you go hunting?" Maybe it was strange to follow someone into the kitchen before talking to them, but Flamewhisker wasn't the type to pick up on that.

Honeyburr said her brow furrowing with the effort of her thought.

(That's ok, Dark!)
- - Tawnyclaw
"We find a candidate," she started suddenly. "We can't have credibility if we don't know who we want to lead. We'll work on something..." She ran over the cats she knew in her head thoughtfully, considering each candidate carefully. Many cats weren't good at all in her opinion, but others might have a small leadership quality... Perhsps the royal guards since they have discipline and skill in handling important affairs, but... They would never betray their king... Tawnyclaw shook her head and licked her paw. "We'll just have to think about it."

-- Duskstorm
Duskstorm sat silently in the courtyard. His eyes were closed, but his ears were pricked forwards and slowly swivelling, revealing that he was fully alert despite his sleepy appearance. After saving the king, he was rather tired, and avoiding all of the other cats as much as was possible. Which was impressive, considering he did that normally. He quietly kneaded his claws on a piece of nearby bark to sharpen them, opening his eyes to glance around, feeling nervous. The air was tense, the atmosphere concerned, and after the poisoning of the king it was wholly possible that anyone willing to stand up against him might quickly hold a revolt. Duskstorm was disloyal- but he wasn't sure if this was the correct way to go about it all anymore.
