"I was just wondering where Cedarstorm was, that's all." Northstar smiled in greeting to Lynxdapple. "I suppose he must be on patrol." “Oh. I’m certain I saw him slip out with one of the senior warriors. I was a little busy with my head in the nursery wall fixing it.” Lynxdapple gave a laugh of leasurely humor. It was clear he was trying to lighten up the camp’s mood from the prior events. He did look worriedly towards the medicine den a few times though.

Honeyblaze nodded back and picked up her moss. She padded silently through the pine forest, frequently checking back to see if Brittlefoot was following her. The elders will appreciate this very much, She thought happily as they reached camp. Brittlefoot kept up as well as he could, the stiffness in his legs an inconvienience. But, he was used to the fragility, and padded carefully to avoid any injury. He mumbled with a smile.

Northstar chuckled softly. "So many have been doing repairs on the camp wall and dens, I don't think even a beetle could get through them."

Northstar chuckled softly. "So many have been doing repairs on the camp wall and dens, I don't think even a beetle could get through them." “No flakes of snow shall touch a queen or kitten’s pelt so long as I am here...ah, if I don’t get swallowed by snow first.” Lynxdapple humored, before he eyed the snow and sighed. “I can’t even brush it away with a tail. I have so much on my back that I can’t reach.”

Northstar shook her head, amusement lighting up her eyes. She stood up. "Turn around, Lynxdapple, I'll get it."

Northstar shook her head, amusement lighting up her eyes. She stood up. "Turn around, Lynxdapple, I'll get it." Lynxdapple did as told with a sigh of relief. “Starclan above, you are a saint.” He thanked, the freezing weight on his back clumping his fur and making his skin underneath prickle uncomfortably.

Honeyblaze padded up to the elder's den and put down the moss. "You should rest, Brittlefoot. I can do this." She offered as she picked up a small piece of moss and began to work it into the den. 'You look worn out." She told him as she attached the moss by weaving the nearby sticks into it.

'You look worn out." She told him as she attached the moss by weaving the nearby sticks into it. Brittlefoot gave a look of gratitude, though he argued. “Surely I can’t leave you here to do everything by yourself. Here, let me at least pass the moss to you so you don’t have to move around as much.” He offered.

Northstar laughed. "I'm just glad to help Lynxdapple." She lifted up, careful not to apply too much weight on him as she knocked the snow from his back. "I am surprised how much it's been snowing lately. I hope Snowdance isn't losing too many herbs because of it."

"No, that's okay, you need to rest." Honeyblaze shook her head, and took another piece of moss and attached it to the other moss and wove another stick through it. "You look like a fox that hasn't slept in two days. Go to sleep, for Starclan's sake!" She purred gently.

I hope Snowdance isn't losing too many herbs because of it." “It’s luckily not coming with bad winds, so we’ve been brunting most of it.” Lynxdapple assured. He looked at Northstar and mewed. “Do you suppose we should try digging in spots to look for herbs? If that doesn’t work, we could always risk it and get herbs from twolegplace.” Lynxdapple half-joked.

He gave a small sigh, though he mewed in gratitude. “Alright. Only if you’re certain, though. I’ll come right back out if you call for me.”

"Okay," Honeyblaze replied, and wove some more moss into the den. He won't regret his choice, She thought as she put some more moss into the wall and slid another stick into it.

"You could suggest that idea to Snowdance, although, I'm sure she knows how to be more prepared than we would." Northstar finished getting all the snow off of him and sat back down, a pant in her breath. "You don't need to offer to help her, she has Ashrock for that."

Northstar finished getting all the snow off of him and sat back down, a pant in her breath. "You don't need to offer to help her, she has Ashrock for that." Lynxdapple was quieted at that. He swallowed and sighed lightly. “I didn’t want to believe Stormfury at first. But when the pod fell out...it just felt dirty. If Goldberry had ever...” He cut off, shaking his head. “Probably not the best comparison, but I do truly hope Ashrock learns from this. If not for himself, then for the clan and for Coalpaw. He was so hurt, and seeing such a happy and selfless cat like that...”

"He still stubbornly believes he was right for doing what he did." Northstar took a deep breath and shook her head. "I had thought he had the honor to accept his brother's position, but I was wrong. However, Ashrock is submitting to the punishment I bestowed on him instead of rejecting it. He is still dedicated to this Clan and I believe he can come to realize what he did was wrong. He has his grandfather's stubbornness though, it could take him a while."

Cloudscar flicked his ear. "Cedarstorm I can't even imagine what you must be feeling, I don't mind you ranting to me at all." He sighed. "You know, we have mentors to learn how to be warriors, but deputies and leaders don't get mentors. They need to learn what they're doing on the go. That means they have to learn everything through trial and error. So your first gathering you didn't look or feel like what you think a deputy should. But do you think Falcontalon instantly felt comfortable in his position? Do you think Northstar was born knowing how to lead? It takes time, and I challenge anyone to do better than you have, given the circumstances." Cedarstorm looked back at the tom, his face long with expressionless doubt. "I'm not so sure." He let out a sigh and began padding off toward the twoleggedplace once again. "Falcontalon was a great deputy, he got to learn from Aurablaze before him. I know I can still ask for his help, but he's really enjoying his time as an elder. He gets to spend so much more time with Roseleaf and his kits, I don't want to bother him." He shook his head. "Northstar told me she was thrust into leadership just a few days after she became a warrior. I can't imagine what that must have been like for her--to overcome the doubt of the Clan like she did and become the great leader she is today, but she's Northstar, she can handle anything." He paused a moment and stared out through the pines, the twoleggedplace fence line peeked through the trees. "I can't amount up to her." Cloudscar nodded understandingly as he continued to pad alongside the deputy. "Perhaps you aren't meant to follow in Northstar's pawsteps." he glanced at the deputy. "You're meant to forge your own path Cedarstorm. No one is asking you to be Northstar, they're asking you to be you. The best you that you can be for ShadowClan."

"The best me is no better than the best of others in the Clan." Cedarstorm paused again, looking at Cloudscar. "You would be a better tom for the job, Cloudscar. You or Cliffheart, or Flintclaw. I can't figure out why Northstar chose me."

"She had her reasons Cedarstorm." He thought back to his conversations with Northstar when she had found out about Swallowfeather, and gave a small smile. "I speak from experience when I say that sometimes she makes decisions that seem confusing, but in the end they work out for the best." He gave the tom a reassuring smile. "You hold your clan above all else. You're kind, loyal, hard working. You're fair and honest, even in the most grueling circumstances. Do you still have much to learn? Yes. But every leader has much to learn when they first become a leader."

Cedarstorm let out a heavy sigh. "I appreciate your words, Cloudscar, but I'm doubtful that my decisions would be what's best for the Clan. Not everyone would agree with things that I have done."
(I'm sorry if I'm slow, I'm typing up a rough draft of my death)

(("I'm typing a rough draft of my death" may be the most you thing I've ever heard xD))
Cloudscar snorted. "You can't please everyone Cedarstorm. No one can. What you can do though is be quick to listen and slow to act. Listen to the advice of your clanmates, your senior warriors, Northstar, and Falcontalon, consider every possible solution, and then make a decision. You don't need to be bossed around by your clanmates, but they're here to support you."

(LOL! How is that a 'me' thing? And Thank You, Fire! I really needed a laugh xD)
Cedarstorm flicked his ear, taking a deep breath. "I'll try to do that from now on..." He glanced back at Cloudscar before pushing through the shadows to the twoleggedplace border. He padded over to a pine tree and shuffled some loose rocks out of the way to reveal the two mice and sparrow that laid underneath. The scent of loners lingered in the air. "Help me carry these back to camp."
