Wolfheart watched as more members of MistClan stepped out of their dens or turned their attention to the conversation. Ears were pricked and eyes bright as they started to process what he had said. He caught sight of the apprentices settled next to their mentors and a queen poking her head from the nursery. Squirrelpaw shared a concerned glace with Ashenpaw behind him. There was a brief moment where the anger slipped in his mind and he wondered just how many of them, including the young, might get killed in this fight. He pushed the thought away, more would die if they did nothing. 

He kept quiet as Lightningnose spoke, he hadn't realized she'd been one of the cats to actually go and see what had happened. He only saw the late aftermath and he couldn't imagine what it'd been like there in the moment. There was a flash of vindication as Pikeleap spoke up. Finally someone else other than himself and Jaystar that truly saw the gravity of the situation. He'd always gotten along well with the other tom, but this further proved he was a solid ally to have.

Silverstar's posture and expression remained carefully neutral as she listened to the other members of the clan. The only sign of any inner turmoil was the slight flicking of her tail tip around her paws. She dipped her head towards Lightningnose and fixed icy blue eyes on her deputy. [b]"You're right Pikeleap. If they've reached all the way to BirchClan it's only a matter of time before we lose one of our own."[/b] 

Her eyes settled on Wolfheart and he felt himself tense, waiting for her decision. [b]"We will fight with BirchClan."[/b] He went to respond but she raised her tail to stop him. [b]"We will fight with you on one conditions. That if a member of either side does not wish to spill blood they be given the chance not to. Even if DuskClan is responsible there may be those who have nothing to do with it and I will not attack innocents."[/b]

He almost wanted to argue, to implore her that they needed everyone if they were going to win, but he kept his mouth firmly shut. If this was how they got her allegiance he would take it. [color=0072bc][b]"That is more than reasonable Silverstar and we are grateful,"[/b][/color] he dipped his head low, [color=0072bc][b]"We will return to Jaystar and make sure he knows."[/b][/color]

She stood, [b]"Keep us informed. I expect Jaystar to take this seriously."[/b] She nodded her head towards the two who had escorted them in, [b]"Lightningnose, Reedmask; escort them back their territory. When you return we'll have a clan meeting to decide exactly what we're going to do."[/b] She nodded to the patrol, [b]"Stay safe,"[/b] before flicking her tail to Pikeleap to speak with him away from the rest of the clan.
