"It was a wise decision." he agreed, unsure of what else to say. He padded on, flicking his tail lightly as he struggled to keep the conversation going. He couldn't just up and ask Cedarstar if he was alright...the tom barely liked him as it was. He let out a deep breath and continued to walk next to the tom. "You know" he said, after another pause. "I think you're going to be a great leader."

Cedarstar stopped and let out a long breath, looking Stormfury right in the eye. "I think I've gotten enough encouraging lectures for the day, Stormfury. What do you think would be said about a leader that constantly needs to be bolstered by his Clan like an apprentice seeking praise from their mentor."

Scrochfire nodded in agreement with Sandflower. "Alright, everyone." He looked to each member of the patrol. "Let's head out." With a flick of his, he padded off toward the camp entrance. Ratmask was shivering too much to argue with her, his teeth even rattled like the drop of sparrow bones. With stiff and trembling movements, he followed Leaffrost back into the elder's den. Ashrock flicked his tail when Snowdance accepted the herbs. "What else do you need me to do?" "Well," Tumblepaw shrugged uneasily. "Everyone seems so tense now that Northstar is gone. No one seems to believe it actually happened. And..." He flicked his ear, glancing at Sproutpaw. "You know I arrived here with Goldberry after his exile...I heard the stories...what if Cedarstar thinks I don't belong here like Northstar did?" "That's nonsense," Sproutpaw assured heavily, furrowing his brows sadly. "You're a Shadowclan cat, just like any of us, no matter how you got here." He held faith in Cedarstar, and in Starclan's destiny, that Tumblepaw was meant to stay.

Stormfury flicked his ear. "Fair enough, just trying to help." He grunted, trying not to be annoyed. Maybe this was a bad idea. Cedarstar barely didn't hate him as it was. Why would he want to be out here in the woods with him? He padded along silently.

Tumblepaw smiled gratefully at Sproutpaw. "Thanks. I suppose its just a natural thing to worry about for a former loner like me."
Cedarstar continued on the stroll in silence. The way he ildly looked around the territory, it was almost as ot he were noticing small details for the first time. Shadows patterned the ground like Tiger stripes with how the dim light of leafbare filtered through the trees. Pine needles sunk into the soft, marshy ground or laid scattered upon the white snow like a catscratched mural.
"Did you really mean what you said?" Cedarstar asked suddenly. "When I told the Clan about Gregory and Shimmer? Did you mean what you said to Northstar or were you just trying to get on my good side?"

Stormfury continued to walk, feeling the tension soften a little. He didn’t look at Cedarstar when he spoke, but rather glanced up at the specks of winter sun filtering throuh the pines. “You should know by now I’m not one to lie or go out of my way to get on any cat’s good side. I said what I did because it was the truth.”

"I suppose you're right after how it took you over a moon just to learn the Clan's tail signals." Cedarstar paused at a pine tree, following the trunk up to its snow covered branches. A good gust of wind and that snow could easily shake off and fall onto cats below. He'd have to warn the Clan to watch out for it. "If you were trying to please the Clan, you would've learned those signals sooner." He glanced back at Stormfury and simply nodded to him. "I don't think I ever thanked you for that."
(*Slides Smoke forward*)
Smokestorm was trying to clear a patch of snow that he could curl upon the ground without getting his fur soaked.

Snakesong slipped back into camp. The prey from the kittypets had actually been pretty plentiful. She hated knowing how hard it was to hunt in the territory. Taking a breath, her eyes caught on Smokestorm and she felt her heart flutter all over again. It wasn’t fair, how he made her feel. She already grimaced at her own teeth and ragged fur. Yet he kept her company, and never veered away. She padded towards him, mewing lightly. “Uhm...what are you doing?”

"Snow is covering my favorite place to nap." Smokestorm huffed sharply, not turning his eyes from clearing the white stuff from the ground. "The sun usually hits this spot just right and makes it all warm and delightful, but if I lay here with all this snow, my fur will get wet and I'll be colder than Ratmask!"

(*Slides Smoke forward*) Smokestorm was trying to clear a patch of snow that he could curl upon the ground without getting his fur soaked. Stormfury snorted at the leader’s first comment. “Not all of us can be star warriors. It was a bit of a culture shock.” He smiled slightly at the leader’s approval, and simply dipped his head in acknowledgement. “Thank you for being somewhat patient with me. It was a trying time for everyone.”

Cedarstar flicked his ear and started walking again. He didnt think he had been at all patient with the former WindClan warrior when he first arrived. "I was impressed how well you handled that training session with all the apprentices. Honestly, i was sure you would teach them all the wrong signals."

"The sun usually hits this spot just right and makes it all warm and delightful, but if I lay here with all this snow, my fur will get wet and I'll be colder than Ratmask!" Snakesong watched him for a moment, before she quietly moved to his side and flicked her tail. Walking over the snow, she began sweeping the snow with her tail and digging with her paws. The kink in her tail helped it curl around the snow and pull it away. She gave a small laugh and mewed. “I see. Let me help you then.”

Smokestorm stopped what he was doing and stared at her, quite surprised by her actions. "What?" “You said you wanted the spot cleared. That’s what I’m doing.” Snakesong mewed, looking back at him as she gave a small shrug and hid her awkward smile. “I’ve got nothing better to do...and er, if it makes you happy.”

Stormfury shrugged. “I’ve been a mentor before you know. Besides I was convinced if I messed up you’d see to it that Northstar kicked me out on the spot.” He padded along, his paws skimming the snow. It wasn’t nearly as deep here as it was in the moors.

"Actually, I was planning on having you sleep in the apprentice den." Cedarstar twitched his whiskers in amusement. "I figured it would be more satisfying than just chasing you across the borders. Who did you train in WindClan?"
"Well, you're gonna have to have a spot to sit too." Smokestorm looked back at the patch they were making, pawing down the smallest bits of snow that they would melt and clear the ground. "If you're going to help."

Stormfury grinned sheepishly at Cedarstar. “I suppose I would’ve deserved that.” He walked a few steps before continuing. “I mentored Frecklenose. She was big, almost certainly half Clan. Swiftstar hoped I would be able to show her alternative ways to be a moot runner that didn’t involve having the WindClan build.”

Smokestorm looked back at the patch they were making, pawing down the smallest bits of snow that they would melt and clear the ground. "If you're going to help." Snakesong felt her fur warm. Did he really want her company? It felt almost endearing, to know he wanted to give her a spot to sit. She gave a rusty purr and nodded. “A-ah...yes. Good idea...I’d enjoy that...” She moved to push more snow away.

Stormfury shrugged. “I like to think so. But I was sorting through my own problems at the time, and I’m sure I projected more of that onto her than I realized. Of course I passed along a few tips and tricks, but there’s only so much someone like us could do.”

Smokestorm nodded back to her and worked on making the spot bigger.
Cedarstar flicked his ear. "Well, she became a warrior, so you must have done something right."

Smokestorm nodded back to her and worked on making the spot bigger. Cedarstar flicked his ear. "Well, she became a warrior, so you must have done something right." Storm fury nodded. “Yes, but we both suffered from feeling out of place. Sometimes earning your warrior name isn’t enough to make you feel at home.”

Cedarstar glanced briefly at him, letting his gaze linger of Stormfury's stocky features. "Your siblings don't feel the same way?"

Stormfury shook his head, letting out a small laugh. "Luckily for them I was the only one with the ShadowClan body type." He paused for a moment, shaking his head. "Even so, they all fit in much better than I. Sagefoot has probably had her kits by now, Sandfall was mentored by Swiftstar...though he was Swiftbreeze at the time...and Silverspirit has always been the perfect WindClan cat."
