"that's enough smalltail!" the she-cat turned a cold glare to her leader just about suppressing the low hiss forming in her chest. starlingstar was growing old in her eyes, weak. had it been her in his place she would have sent iceclaw packing with multiple wounds for daring to break the law by crossing the border; her eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly lifted her lip before turning her attention mintfeather and her orders, watching tigerpaws slow and careful movements in an attempt to soothe her mind. it was a long day, and apparently it was going to get worse. the nub where her tail should be twitched slightly in irritation. perhaps she was in the wrong but at this point the young warrior didn't care, shadowclan sat at the scene of the injury of her clan mate and starlingstar didn't seem pushed to care; in fact, he had a message for the cat as though he could trust him to pass it on. she turned with a low growl and began following mintfeathers orders with ease.
smalltail gingerly gripped the bindweed with her pointed fangs slowly shifting it with the aid of the apprentice beneath the ginger cat. the smaller cat watched patiently as mintfeather strapped sticks to the new contraption, her eyes flitting to sandpaws brother as he ran forward without haste doing as he was told. "reddawn and smalltail, i'll need you two to carry gingerstep back to camp. make sure to be careful and not jostle her around to much." the warrior nodded, her eyes looking at reddawn with mild distaste, the cat had no interest in ever getting along with smalltail, he was far to grumpy to manage her outgoing and over the top natures. she nodded at him, waiting for him to line up with her before the lifted the ginger she-cat. the weight falling on the small warrior caused her legs to shake slightly before she adjusted her stance, steadying herself and gingerstep before walking toward the camp, tigerpaw by her side.
--
iceclaw wanted to grin maliciously as starlingstar yelled out at his warrior; she deserved it. the scolding was a long time coming from what he could tell, the look on reddawns face gave him the impression that perhaps this wasn't the first time the warrior had been disobedient and reckless. "iceclaw, i appreciate you coming and checking on our warrior. now your assistance is no longer needed." the grey tom dipped his head silently waiting for his escort to rejoin him at his side with the words of a message. "i am sorry to hear about your apprentice, iceclaw." the storm coloured tom dipped his head in thanks while the leader continued with his message.
"thank you, starlingstar. i will of course pass the message on, twolegs and their monsters are enemies of all the clans - i pray to starclan they don't take any more lives in the coming moons." he mewed firmly his voice sincere and clear with each word he spoke.
"all the best to your cla -", "wait a moment iceclaw." the familiar voice interuppted his sentence as he turned to look at the new arrival; his eyes softened at the sight of the kind medicine cat, a cat that all the clans had grown fond of. her condolences for coalpaw made his heart swell slightly in thanks as he dipped his head.
"thank you, mintfeather. i could not have ignored your warrior, leaf bare is coming up and all of the clans will need their warriors." he mewed softly, dipping his head once more in respect for both of the cats. there weren't many cats older than him serving as anything other than a clan elder but starlingstar was one, a leader at over eighty moons; it was impressive. already iceclaw could feel the stiffness in his bones each morning an he was much, much younger. the black cat truly had his respect.
"i expect froststorm is looking forward to seeing you all at the half moon as well, safe home to you all as well. i hope for the best recovery for your warrior." he mewed softly before turning and crossing the thunderpath with practiced ease. as he came beside nightfire he flicked his tail for her to follow into the overgrowth that was shadowclan territory, leaving behind the clear air of windclan moors before turning his head to the younger warrior.
"when we get back to camp, we'll both go see rowanstar to pass on starlingstars message and what happened to the windclan warrior." he mewed firmly, his cold gaze meeting hers before padding forward letting the calming and familiar scent of home waft around him when he momentarily caught the scent of something else? his ears perked as he glanced around himself.
