The DuskClan border always looked dark and ominous to Rushpaw even in daylight. The trees in BirchClan were leafy and green in a way that sent light shining across the floor in delightful patterns. The pines might smell nice, but their sharp needles and tall branches made it feel like there were constant creatures lurking in the shadows. He felt a shiver run across his pelt, partially nerves and partially adrenaline at the thought of fending off some massive DuskClan beast. 

He frowned at both Lightningnose and Minnowstone as they spoke, [color=619cff][b]"But Silverstar said we were going to be fighting them and I heard Wolfheart say that Jaystar wanted to go after them. We can't be allies with BirchClan and still be friends with DuskClan because then we'd be stuck between who to fight right? They'd both think we were with them and then it'd be all confusing."[/b][/color] He did agree that living in the tunnels was weird. [color=619cff][b]"Why'd they decide to live in tunnels if they have a perfectly good forest above ground? Isn't all the good stuff there?"[/b][/color] If any clan was going to attack innocent cats from the shadows DuskClan made the most sense to him.

[b]"We're only going to fight if we have to Rushpaw. The Gathering is coming soon and there's a chance we'll sort all this out before any blood needs to be spilled."[/b] Thistlefoot's soft tones spoke up from where he padded in the back of the group. [b]"I'm sure they think we're just as strange for living in a marsh. They come up to hunt and mark their borders, but the tunnels are home for them just as the cliffs are for ThornClan or the reeds are for us."[/b]

The light brown tom's words didn't stop his swirling questions, but Thistlefoot did always have a way of simplifying things. He opened his jaws to taste the air as Lightningnose spoke and wrinkled his nose at the sharp, musky scent of DuskClan. He glanced up and down the border in curiosity, but he couldn't see any DuskClan cats despite the freshness of the scent. [color=619cff][b]"I don't see anyone. Do you think they just have tunnel entrances all over so they can just pop up wherever they want in the forest? That'd be kind of cool even if the whole tunnel thing is weird."[/b][/color] Why'd they have to be so suspicious? Maybe BirchClan wouldn't be mad if they just told the other clans stuff.
