Wiltedpetal narrowed her eyes thoughtfully when Mudfeather explained how she was feeling. It was rude to prod, but she felt worried for her friend. "I know you two were friends...it must be hard to see a friend leave this earth..." Deep down, she knew Mudfeather still felt sad and unsettled, and she wanted to comfort her. Comfort her like Mudfeather was used to doing for everyone else.
But she didn't push Mudfeather, and instead raised herself to her paws. "I should go speak to Chickenstar, then." She hesitated, before continuing. "Thanks for supporting me in this..." She took a step towards the entrance. "And Mudfeather? I am here if you need anything...you need clan members to comfort you and be with you..it's only fair. You do so much for all of us."

For a brief moment Mudfeather wondered what would happen if she were to tell Wiltedpetal about her true feelings when it came to Blackpelt and his death. How would she respond? Would she be like Flickershine - angry and then willing to help? Or would she just be shocked at the fact that the Clan's medicine cat had broken the code? Those questions and the doubts stopped Mudfeather from giving the truth. Maybe one day she would confide in the queen, but for right now this was a secret between her and her sister. "It is hard, but life must always go on," she mewed after a moment, trying to find solace in those words herself.
Mudfeather nodded to Wiltedpetal when she mentioned going to speak with Chickenstar. Before Mudfeather could truly go back to her thoughts she heard the warrior speak up before she left. The she-cat perked her ears forward and couldn't help but feel her chest swell with gratitude toward Wiltedpetal. This made her feel bad about not confiding in her truly, but Mudfeather knew she would soon. Wiltedpetal deserved to know the truth. "Thank you, Wiltedpetal. That means a lot, it truly does."
So here it was, a battle at last. Oh, this Clan cat wasn't going to stand a chance against her.
A growl came from the pale ginger she-cat when the Clan cat jumped on top of her. She felt his claws dig somewhat into her skin, but she cared not about that at the moment. All she cared about was the pain he was about to feel due to her own claws digging into him. Lurching herself forward, she rounded her shoulder and felt herself begin to fall on over to her side. This was all part of her plan. If she could roll him underneath her then she could crush him with her added weight of muscle and then give him what he deserved.
The tom slashed at Crystal's shoulder with his sharp claws, feeling the blood slowly ooze out at the wound. He made another attemp to claw at the rogue's belly, but missed due to her agile movements. As she fell over to her side, he pressed a paw to her chest "Giving up already, kittypet?" He spat.
The light pitter patter of an early morning shower could be heard throughout the camp, and Kalepaw was glad that their camp by the ridge provided such wonderful shelter. Even with his fear of water, the tom was OK with rain. But he still wouldn't choose to put himself out in it. The chill of such an early morning sent a shiver up his spine, and he nestled in closer to himself. It might've been cold now, but he knew that as the hours pass the sun would rise higher and end up scorching everything it touched. That was as long as it didn't continue raining, anyway. Although he was content staying in his dry corner, his mind etched to move. So far this greenleaf had been passing by lazily, and he was bored.
Pippaw was also seen creeping around the driest edges of camp, trying to keep the moisture off of his pelt. He had just finished doing his daily rounds around camp, which was to collect the few small herbs that grow around the cat's home. It wasn't much, but the young medicine cat apprentice didn't dare leave the camp in search of better herbs without being accompanied by his mentor or at the least, another apprentice. So he began to retrace his steps back to the medicine cat den, with a mouthful of carefully held nettles, and some mint.

Crystal gave no sign that she was bothered by the clawing the tom had given her. There was a sting of pain but she ignored it, knowing that she would feel satisfaction and bliss once she had this Clan cat begging for mercy under her grip. She lashed her plumy tail as she rolled over, missing her target by just enough to really bring forth a flash of frustration. She felt the paw he placed on her chest and glared daggers up at him. "I'm just getting started," she spat, venom in her words. Maneuvering herself just a bit she leaned up and pushed against him with her back legs and claws unsheathed, hoping to catch him in the soft skin of his underbelly.

After Wiltedpetal's visit, Mudfeather had thought she would have the den all to herself for a little while. All she really wanted to do was curl up in her nest and ruminate over the secret she was keeping from every cat in the Clan other than Flickershine. Should she have told Wiltedpetal when she had the chance? ...No. She wasn't quite ready to have another cat know just yet. She would tell Wiltedpetal soon, though. It seemed only fair to confide in the she-cat that meant a lot to her.
The multi-colored she-cat felt her ears perk up when the sound of pittering paws caught her attention. She looked over to the entrance of her den, wondering who the cat could be when she picked up the familiar scent of her young apprentice. Mudfeather smiled softly as she prepared herself to greet the little tom. "Pippaw," she mewed with a softness to her voice. "Getting out of the rain?" She questioned as she padded over to the entrance to truly greet her apprentice. The rain wasn't harsh, but there was enough of a sprinkle for even Mudfeather to notice it even in her den.
