Skyflight frowned, but remained silent, listening from the back of the crowd.
Sparrowstrike gave a slow nod, if it kept his kits fed, he would have no qualms with the agreement.
Springpaw and Twigpaw looked at each other wide-eyed wondering if they would get to hunt in the twolegplace
Ashfeather looked nervous, glancing from Willownose to Redspring, "Hunting in the twolegplace? Isn't that dangerous? Aren't there a ton of monsters out there?" he whispered, hoping to not draw any attention to himself and instead just confide in the two she-cats beside him.

Redspring nodded at Ashfeather's thought, deciding then to offer a few questions so Willownose or Ashfeather wouldn't have to. That, and she knew she was often seen as a straight-laced and stern cat. She called up. "Spiritstar, there are some reservations. Twolegplace can be dangerous, and navigating it might be difficult. Even then, what is to say Thunderclan won't abandon us or lead dogs or twolegs to us if they try and flee danger?"
Poppyclaw nodded in agreement with the statement.
Spiritstar looked at Redspring, eyes flickering between her, Willownose and Ashfeather, though her voice in response was even and conceding. "That is a fair concern. The intention here is to have more experienced Warriors on these patrols, and especially cats who have familiarity with Twolegplace already. Beyond that, there is no intent to go deep into Twolegplace. Just enough to take advantage of prey that might attempt to shelter in Twolegplace's outskirts. Whitesun's judgement in who will help lead these patrols is in no doubt." She looked at her deputy and nodded, trusting his ability to build suitable patrols to handle this kind of agreement.
Redspring flicked her tail, neither angry nor delighted with the response, but willing to accept it for now. She looked at Willownose and Ashfeather for a moment.

Whitesun gave a nod in response to Spiritstar. He had already thought about which cats he would want to go on these patrols, and who would stay behind to watch over their territory.
Frostlight joined the rest of the clan, glancing back to see if Withermist was going to join her. "What do you think of hunting in Twolegplace?" She asked him quietly, unsure herself.

Emberpaw puffed her chest as she looked at her father. Spiritstar trusted Whitesun so much, and he always chose great patrols. She was proud to be his daughter, and hoped one day she might be just like him. She hoped she could go on one of the patrols, if she worked hard enough to prove herself. "I bet..." Withermist hesitated, before he gave a look of kittish wonder. "New to explore, maybe... prey, birds... all that." He admitted, the prospect of going to Twolegplace being both daunting and exciting for the soft-spoken tom. |

Willownose flattened her ears slightly, but looked reassured by Redspring. It truly seemed like Spiritstar thought the deal through. She only hoped that ThunderClan wouldn't allow it to fall through. "I wonder if we should train for Twolegplace patrols." she whispered to her and Ashfeather.

“I’d be happy to. Better cats like us go rather than unprepared apprentices or over-excited Warriors.” Redspring admitted, knowing she’d feel better handling the dangerous work so her clanmates wouldn’t have to.

Ashfeather flicked his ears with a frown, "You both know hunting isn't really my strong suit, but I would be happy to go with either of you for extra protection. Although maybe there will be different prey there. Perhaps I could be better at catching it." (Ash taking his hulking Shadowclan blooded body just to protect his girlfriends and not catch a single piece of prey )

Starclan, she wished she could tell them both that she wanted to always be with them. “Maybe we’ll be the ones protecting you.” |

Frostlight flicked her ear, looking back at Spiritstar, “It would be interesting to see the Twolegplace. But what if ThunderClan doesn’t keep their word? They could be planning something behind our backs.” She suggested, not one to trust so easily.

He hummed low in his throat, before he finally spoke again. "...Maybe... plan something behind their backs first... just in case." He offered, neither trustful nor distrustful of Thunderclan, but wanting to provide a solution or idea if Frostlight was asking the question. |

Silvercloud and Splashecho returned to camp after hunting. The two discussed their misfortune. While Splashecho hunted in the trees, Silvercloud hunted along the ground. Neither were able to find anything to bring back.
Silvercloud flicked her ear in annoyance. "We could've hunted along Boulder Hollow. There would be plenty of adders and lizards to bring back."
"Ugh," Silvercloud scrunched her face in disgust. "I don't know how many times I have to tell you, Silvercloud, but SkyClan doesn't eat reptiles. We're not ShadowClan. If it isn't a bird, it shouldn't be caught."
Silvercloud rolled her eyes. "Aren't you part RiverClan? I didn't think you, of all cats, would care what's on the prey pile."
Slashecho bared her teeth. "I'm a warrior of SkyClan! Don't you dare mistake me as anything else!"
"Don't get your fur in a bunch." Silvercloud lashed her tail. "I'm just saying: Prey is prey."
"And SkyClan's prey is birds," Splashecho snapped.

(Gonna have Spiritstar end the meeting!)
Spiritstar, content with the questions and giving her answers, lifted her tail and nodded. "Then, when Thunderclan sends their patrols, we will be there to meet them. This being said, Whitesun, we will assign small patrols for dawn and dusk to accompany Thunderclan patrols into Twolegplace and through Skyclan territory. At any sign of hunting on our territory, it will be reported immediately and the deal will terminate. That will be all." The grey she-cat lowered her tail, signifying the end of the meeting as she jumped back down the rock pile.
Cobrafang began chattering with Frostyfoot almost instantly, the two toms discussing the prospect of the patrols, while Dreamlily was trying to speak to Echowing, who merely stalked away from her sister and towards the warrior's den. Dreamlily watched her go with a heavy sigh.

Starclan, she wished she could tell them both that she wanted to always be with them. “Maybe we’ll be the ones protecting you.” Ashfeather bumped into Redspring's shoulder with a scoff, "You know I didn't mean it like that. I am very aware that you two are capable of protecting yourselves. It's just better to have more warriors present in general." he replied, slightly embarassed by his claim. |

"You don't need to explain it to me." Redspring smirked, voice tinging with a hint of banter that lined the edge of flirtation, before she quickly stiffened and corrected her tone, their usual friendly teasing coming through. "How many Warriors would you like with us?" |

Spiderpaw kneaded his paws in excitement to what Spiritstar announced. More herbs! And from ThunderClan, no less! ThunderClan has all the best herbs since their territory isn't as rocky as ours. He smiled at the idea of seeing Peachdapple and Aspenfall more. He'd get so many opportunities to pick their brains!

Lightning just did Moon!  ) Ashfeather shrugged, "Depends on how many Thunderclan cats are coming. I think we should have an equal amount on the patrol as they have, yes? I don't want them to pull anything while we're out there. The three of us would probably be fine if they also has three cats in the patrol, but if there are four or five Thunderclan cats, our patrol should be the same size. We may be working together, but that doesn't mean I trust them." |

Redspring sighed, knowing that Thunderclan had a high number of cats, even if leafbare was treating them unkindly. She flicked her tail and nodded. "I agree, though. We can't trust them, certainly not right now. We could always volunteer for patrols." Now that the announcement was over, Flarestorm took his time to look around for Briarpatch. They'd grown alot closer lately, and he would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy spending time with her. She was funny, clever, and certainly a lovely sight. She seemed to even like his personality, something he had not been used to with a straight-laced brother like Poppyclaw growing up. |

Ashfeather nodded, glancing around at the clan at the cats surrounding them. "I'd like to go. It will definitely be an interesting experience no matter what happens. I just hope we don't run into any stray twolegs." he mewed with a shudder. "We'll have to be extra careful to make sure we're not seen."
Briarpatch looked like she had seen a ghost as Flarestorm approached her. The normally free-spirited she-cat could not have looked more tense. "Hi Flarestorm." she greeted lightly.

"I've never clawed a Twoleg before. I wonder if that will change." Redspring rumbled, though inwardly she too bristled at the thought of running into a nasty twoleg. Something about them had always made her bristle. Flarestorm had approached with his usual relaxed humor, though he could instantly tell that something was off. He tried to alleviate her. "Hey now! You're not worried about all this Twolegplace stuff, right? You know that the only thing worth fearing there is bad smells." He eased, wondering if that was the reason she looked so tense. |

Ashfeather growled at the thought of a twoleg coming after Redspring, it made his stomach twist and his teeth clench. He forced himself to calm, remembering they hadn't even been to the twolegplace yet. "I've never seen one up close before, have you? I've just seen their dens and the monsters they willingly choose to ride in the belly of. A big mistake if you ask me."
Briarpatch gave him a forced smile, shaking her head. She stood moving paw to paw, "Oh no, I'm not too worried about that. I'm hopeful that it will help both of our clans. Um, can we take a walk? Just the two of us? I have something I want to tell you and I don't want anyone else to hear."

I have something I want to tell you and I don't want anyone else to hear." "I saw one once floundering near the edge of the forest, back over towards Twolegplace, from a tree. I think it got lost, but it went right back over the border once another one starting calling to it." Redspring explained, as she often liked going out alone to train her climbing skills. Flarestorm couldn't help but feel a flicker of unease at her words, though he did like being privy to secrets that other cats weren't privy to. He gave her a leisurely smile and chuckled. "Sure. A walk would be nice, especially with just you." He teased, voice as flirty as it always was, not yet knowing of the seriousness of the situation. "And you know I love secrets. Someone have a crush? I know plenty of cats who are so bad at hiding it." He snickered playfully. |

Ashfeather hummed quietly, "Do you think twolegs have borders? Like are they going to be upset that we're hunting there?" he asked curiously.
Briarpatch relaxed as she led Flarestorm out of camp, headed for the jagged drop. Surely no one would be there right now. "Flarestorm, you can't tell anyone this okay? At least not yet. I'm being serious." Once far away from the camp entrance she turned towards Flarestorm again, "So I've been feeling a bit off lately." she started slowly, "I um went to see Lavendersky about it."

"I doubt it. They do an awful job of marking them, if that's the case." Redspring snorted, unable to remember a time she'd scented a specific twoleg scent from the border. Even so, she huffed. "I should hope not, the thought of them ever grouping up to launch an attack, that's a battle I'd rather not get excited for." Flarestorm's humor slowly faded into concern. He looked at Briarpatch, and contrary to what many cats thought of his intelligence, he was actually a very intuitive and clever cat. Which meant he was already piecing together what she was implying, and he felt a small trickle of shock fill him. "Briarpatch..." He murmured, padding to sit at her side. "Are you implying that you're..." He trailed off, knowing that it was possible but blanching at the thought, they had only snuck out once or twice, but... had that been enough? |

Ashfeather laughed at the thought of twolegs trying to invade their camp, although he hoped that day never came. "They're so uncoordinated and tall. They don't even have claws. I don't think they could even fight if they tried."
Briarpatch gave a small nod, looking down at her paws. "Lavendersky confirmed my fears. She said it's very early but I'm definitely pregnant. And, they're definitely yours. I know we're not mates or anything, but I wanted you to know before the rest of the clan finds out. I'm sure it will be pretty obvious in the next moon or so."
