Stormfury tilted his head slightly. "Is something wrong? You look upset." He noticed that the medicine cat was frowning at what he thought were poppy seeds, but he wasn't sure. Snowdance sighed, “My poppy seed store is lower than I thought. The only cats I’ve given them to recently was Hollowpool and Frogleap. But no one else.” She said, mostly to herself. Leopardshadow gave a shrug, “I’ve been better. Could do without the cold.” She said, glancing at him, “And yourself?” She said. “Besides being my usual cynical self? Much better now that I’m with you.” Talltalon admitted, looking at her with slight meaning. “I usually don’t get along with, well, anyone. But every part of me wants to get along with you.” He shrugged.

Cedarstorm nodded. "Alright, thank you, Coalpaw."

Stormfury flicked his tail. "Strange..."he mused. "Very...strange. Well Snowdance, thank you for the advice. I'm sure I'll be sleeping better in no time." He stood. "If there's anything I can do, please let me know." He padded out of the den.

Cedarstorm nodded. "Alright, thank you, Coalpaw." “Cedarstorm?... Has uhm. Has Ashrock asked for me, by any chance?” Coalpaw asked the deputy suddenly, a faint trace of hope in his exotic eyes.

The deputy was about to move off, but at Coalpaw's quetsion, he paused. After a moment of thought, Cedarstorm shook his head. "No, I haven't him ask for you. Were you supposed to go training today?"

Were you supposed to go training today?" “I...uhm.” Coalpaw felt like a mousebrain for trapping himself. If he told Cedarstorm Ashrock was not taking him out, he could get his mentor in trouble. But if he lied to Cedarstorm, he’d still be in trouble. He swallowed and shrugged. “I’m not sure. He must have been super busy.”

Performing my duties no doubt. Cedarstorm flicked his ear, but he kept his bitter thoughts to himself. "Well, now's a good a time as any to ask him." He pointed off toward Ashrock, the warrior was still sitting where he had been, cleaning his paws. "Have you seen Stormfury? I need to talk to him."

I saw him go into the medicine den.” Coalpaw answered, itching to go talk to his mentor.

Cedarstorm nodded, stepping away from the apprentice to go find Stormfury, when he spotted the tom leaving the apprentice den, he quickly padded over. "Stormfury."

Stormfury's ears flicked towards the deputy before he glanced over. He looked slightly surprised. "Yes?" He asked, wondering if he was in trouble. It seemed to be the only reason the deputy sought him out

Cedarstorm had to bite down his pride when he looked at the former WindClan tom. "I wanted to thank you. Cloudscar told me what you did for me this morning when I overslept. I assumed the whole Clan would support me as their deputy, but..." He flicked his ear, looking away. "You're the only one who bothered to wake me each time."

Coalpaw rushed quickly towards Ashrock, voice forced with hope and excitement. He called. “Ashrock! Are we gonna train today? I wanted to see how to do that cool move that Honeypaw was learning.”

"Not now, Coalpaw, I'm busy." Ashrock barely glanced at his apprentice. He set his paw down and got up to walk away, eyeing the deputy over by the medicine den. He'd have to wait until later to borrow some more poppy seeds from Snowdance.

Stormfury blinked in surprise. Then dipped his head respectfully. "It was no problem Cedarstorm. I was just doing what I would have wanted to be done if I were in your paws." He paused for a moment, wondering if he should continue. "Though I have a feeling you oversleeping isn't entirely your fault."

"Not now, Coalpaw, I'm busy." Ashrock barely glanced at his apprentice. He set his paw down and got up to walk away, eyeing the deputy over by the medicine den. He'd have to wait until later to borrow some more poppy seeds from Snowdance. “B-but Ashrock!” Coalpaw called after him, his curled ears pinned with confusion and sadness. He tried to keep his happiness in his voice as he mewed. “When are we gonna go out then?” Across the camp, grumbling and sheltering from the snow, Honeypaw watched the exchange with curious and sharp blue eyes. What was going on with his brother and Ashrock?

"Later." Ashrock didn't even look over his shoulder as he padded off. "Go do your chores, Coalpaw."

Stormfury took a deep breath. "Don't take this the wrong way...I know I somehow have the uncanny ability of getting under your pelt." He shook his head slightly. "It may be nothing...but each night before you've overslept Ashrock gave you some sort of prey. I've just talked to Snowdance and it seems her poppy seed stores have been depleting faster than they should be....it seems like...it might be possible...that that has something to do with you oversleeping." He glanced at the deputy, hoping he wasn't about to get his pelt ripped off.

"Later." Ashrock didn't even look over his shoulder as he padded off. "Go do your chores, Coalpaw." Coalpaw stood quiet and drooped as he watched Ashrock move away. The hope turned to bubbling despair and anger as he felt his eyes burn with emotion. He hung his head and kicked a rock harshly, turning to do as told. Honeypaw narrowed his eyes, a pang of concern in him as he saw his usually bubbly brother brood with misery. He stood and padded towards him in a heartbeat.

Cedarstorm flicked his ear, just staring back at the warrior. "I don't see how Ashrock sharing prey with me and Snowdance's depleting poppy seeds are correlated, Stormfury. Snowdance has Hollowpool to worry about, maybe she's been giving Hollowpool more seeds than she thought, or Frogleap could be giving Hollowpool the seeds to ease her pain. We all know how much that young tom cares about Hollowpool. I can have a talk with him though. Poppy seeds aren't something that should be given on a whim."

Stormfury shook his head. "You don't understand Cedarstorm. It was hard to wake you. You were in such a deep sleep...It wasn't natural. It would make more sense if something had...helped you be that asleep."

(Snake and Smoke sound good to me ) Cedarstorm flattened his ears, his face growing stern. "Are you trying to imply that Ashrock has been feeding me poppy seeds?"

Snakesong returned to camp, a flimsy lizard in her jaws as she gave a disheartened sigh. It worried her, how scarce the prey had gotten so quickly.

Smokestorm was still laying outside the warrior's den...napping. He had been there long enough that a thin coat of snow lined his thick, smoky pelt. Yet, he slept on...undisturbed.

Smokestorm was still laying outside the warrior's den...napping. He had been there long enough that a thin coat of snow lined his thick, smoky pelt. Yet, he slept on...undisturbed. Snakesong gazed at Smokestorm’s form with amazement and concern. How could he sleep under snow? And how could he sleep in such cold? She placed her lizard down, steeling her anxiety and padding towards him. He was the cat she had the easiest time talking to besides her brother and mentor. “Smokestorm? Are you alive?...”

"Huh?" The smokey gray tom suddenly sat up at the voice. He blinked tired eyes up at Snakesong. "Oh." The tom yawned. "Hello, Snakesong."

You looked...er, less than alive under all that snow. Starclan, you like to sleep, huh?” Snakesong tipped her head with thoughtfulness and a hint of a smile.

Stormfury flicked his ears. "I'm just saying it may be a possibility." He sighed. "Look, I'm tired of being on your bad side. I just want you to succeed."
