She had no intention of letting anyone step out of line though, and Pikeleap would defend her ruling as leader to his last breath. She appreciated her gruff and intimidating deputy, more so now that there was the possibility of war on the horizon. She'd have to make sure to discuss the intricacies of this with him as well as get his opinion on whether or not they should try to go to speak with Emberstar before Jaystar got the chance to. The ThornClan leader was a wildcard in all this and she didn't like not knowing who would be on their side. [color=00aeef][b]"It isn't possible to make a decision that everyone will be happy with. I've known that since I was deputy and even more so as leader, but this is not just for the sake of MistClan, it is for the survival of all the clans in this valley. We have the capability of tearing each other apart if we don't exercise restraint."[/b][/color] She blinked warmly at the two she-cats, [color=00aeef][b]"I trust the both of you to do the right thing. You were there and have a better understanding of the events that occurred."[/b][/color] Hailshine dipped her head, [b]"Thank you Silverstar, it means a great deal to hear you say that. I don't know how well the others will listen, but I'll do my best to steer them away from senseless violence. Starclan knows we don't need any more of that."[/b] The silvery she-cat pulled her tail tighter around her paws not hiding the concern on her face. She couldn't believe her luck in her time as leader being able to lead during such a long stint of peace, but also have such reliable clanmates. It made her nerves less jittery when she thought of the coming moons. The gathering would also be coming soon, and it's likely all of this would come to a head there. She'd have to make sure to stand her ground in the face of all that. [color=00aeef][b]"You've both been a great deal of help, thank you. If anyone else is waiting to speak with me you can send them in, otherwise continue about your day."[/b][/color] As she dismissed the two, and Hailshine stood to her feet to leap from the den, she settled down with her paws tucked underneath her chest to contemplate the coming days.
