Chillberry? That was...quite the name. Flame had heard talk that Clan cats had weird names, but he had never heard one for himself which was odd considering his history with Clan cats. Never once had he heard a name until now. He had been told that they had weird names, but he hadn't been prepared for such an odd combination.

"Chillberry," he murmured as if tasting the name, eyes narrowed in concentration as such. "An odd name. You don't look like a chill or a berry," the rogue pointed out in a slightly puzzled voice. What would spur a mother to name their kit Chillberry? Sure, it smoothly came off the tongue and had a nice ring to it, but still. Flame was confused, unsure as to what to think. Crystal would have never named him something like that. She wouldn't have looked down at him and thought of the name Flameberry or something. Not at all. Diamond wouldn't have been Diamondberry and Moon wouldn't have been Moonberry. Clan names just didn't make sense to him. Did they all have something to do with a berry? Flame wasn't sure, but he doubted that Clan cats could be original with their names.

Flame pushed aside all thoughts of the tom's weird name. Right now he had to hunt, and if that squirrel was still nearby then he needed to get on it. If any other cat had been with him, especially Crystal or Ahadi, he would have already been scolded for taking too much time. One sparrow wasn't contributing to the pile of prey at all. He needed to snap himself out of his thoughts and actually do something with himself for once.

Now it was time to get down to business. Flame nodded to Chillberry's comment, glad that the other tom was at least competent in thought. Maybe this Clan cat wasn't so bad...he seemed to be trustworthy and friendly, and Flame knew Chillberry had nothing to do with Diamond's death. That alone made Flame feel comfortable toward the other tomcat. He was already very much feeling a seed of friendship growing. Flame nodded. "You're right." But he was hoping for that squirrel. He knew quite a few cats in the group had a liking for squirrel over birds, so Flame was pretty determined to catch the tree dwelling animal.

And I'm off to work
Kill me

Just when everything had been going well it all crashed down. The cat was still reeling over Blackpelt's death. It had been so unexpected, but StarClan had made their decision and decided that RidgeClan needed a new deputy. There was nothing that could be done about it. Blackpelt was gone. Not even StarClan could bring back a cat from the dead.

Chickenstar had yet to name a new deputy. He knew he needed to, but he felt as if the time wasn't right. Not yet. He did have a few cats in mind for the new position, but he had yet to pick who would best fill the duty as deputy. The leader also had something else in mind, something that would really change the Clan, but he felt as if the change would be more than good and more than welcomed. If death was going to keep following the Clan around then Chickenstar wanted to make sure his Clan was more than ready for whatever was thrown at them. He didn't want any cracks in the ranks if peace was not going to settle upon the land.

Through these thoughts something else caught Chickenstar's attention. From where he sat near his den he could clearly see the ruddy pelt of Turkeyfoot curled up by Mudfeather's den. The black and white tom felt pity stir in the pit of his chest. Turkeyfoot had been Walnutpelt's follower, but she had realized her mistake. Now she was half blind and not even half of the warrior she had once been. Chickenstar could only imagine what was going through her mind these days. To him she was still part of the Clan, a critical part of the Clan at that. He felt compelled to go over and speak with her.

The tom pushed himself to his paws. Carefully he padded over and dipped his head toward the she-cat as he neared her. "Hello, Turkeyfoot," he mewed softly, offering a gentle smile. Maybe she would realize that he cared for her and wanted her to know that he still thought of her as a true RidgeClan warrior.
