[center]Duskwing watched as Fernstar hopped down and headed towards her den, followed by Sunfur first and then Leopardfang. It was nice to see the concern that the clan had for their leader, and she was no exception. She didn't want to bother Fernstar now, but she made a mental note to wish her luck before she left for Moonpool. She padded over to the fresh kill pile and snagged a part of the squirrel that she had caught; nodding her head to Sunfur and Spidernose who were also resting nearby. She let her thoughts wander a bit as she gulped down the food. She trusted Fernstar to be able to protect herself and Blackpelt likely had something that could help them on their journey. She snapped out of her thoughts as Moosepaw approached, pleased to see that his paw appeared to be hurting him less. She twitched her whiskers slightly at his willingness to get things done despite the cold, and the fact that he had gotten injured a short time ago.[/center]

He was getting close to the proper age and he had provided a great deal to the clan over this leafbare with barely any complaints on his end. In her opinion Moosepaw was more than prepared for the responsibility that came with being a full fledged warrior. She would be sad to no longer have an apprentice to guide, but she knew that would be quickly overshadowed by pride for the young cat.[/center]

[center] Stormheart felt a purr rumble deep in his chest at the prospect of Fernstar becoming a fully fledged leader, not that she wasn't already, but to actually have nine lives, he couldn't even imagine. His eyes flicked around towards all of the movement that started up around camp at the end of the meeting. Several cats heading towards the fresh kill pile and others prepping for training with their apprentices. He was grateful that the fox had successfully been driven away before Blackpelt left, things could've ended up significantly worse for many of them. He himself didn't have an apprentice to train, so he'd need to find something to do to busy himself. He noticed Redleap walk towards Brambletail and mention something about a strange scent on the border; frowning slightly at the prospect of there being something else creeping around their territory. He also heard Spidernose talking to Sunfur about a potential hunting patrol, so there definitely would be enough to do.[/center]

[center]He went ahead and trotted towards the fresh kill, grabbing a mouse and settling down in the least snow covered spot he could find. [color=0072bc][b]"If you need anyone to join you in the hunting patrol,"[/b][/color] he directed towards Spidernose, [color=0072bc][b]"I don't have anything else to do today."[/b][/color]  Hopefully Sunfur would take the time to rest his paw, if he ran around he might cause whatever venom the snake had to get worse. He bit into the mouse, keeping an eye on their deputy just in case something needed to be done about the mysterious scent.[/center]
