[color=848482]If the lot of them had wanted to stop and hunt, they would surely find nothing among the surrounding brush. They were just too loud for any meek creatures to stay around for long, though this didn't really bother him much. He wasn't very hungry (the herbs were doing their job well) and it warmed his heart to see the cats of different Clans chatting among each other as if they were all one big happy family. Gatherings were more or less the same; Blackmoon was surprised they didn't all share tongues during the event. He felt his whiskers twitch with amusement as he imagined such a bewildering scenario, only to be interrupted by Dawnwing's question towards Dew-whisker. As she slowly shook her head, he felt a deep pang of worry, though he forced himself to nod curtly at Hailshine's greeting. 

[b]"We're doing well, though I've received no word from StarClan. Frostpaw hasn't said anything, either,"[/b] she raised her eyes towards the two chatting apprentices. [b]"Are you having trouble keeping Hawkpaw interested in StarClan, Blackmoon?"[/b]

Blackmoon shook his head. [color=C2DFFF][b]"Hawkpaw seems to be excited about meeting them, eventually."[/b][/color]

[b]"Lucky you. Many of our older Clanmates have lost faith, including our deputy. I hope it doesn't impact our apprentices. The last thing we need is for cats to be raised outside the warrior code."[/b]

Their conversation was interrupted when he heard laughter come from behind them. Braveleap and Hailshine seemed to be deeply engrossed in their conversation, and Lightningnose had joined Addertongue and the other ThornClan cats. Tigershine sighed. 

[b]"I sure hope they show up tonight."[/b] He made a face as he shook out his paw from wet soil. 

[b]"I hope so, too,"[/b] Dew-whisker murmured as she turned away, motioning with her tail. [b]"Come along. This way's the safest path through the marsh."[/b][/color]
