Lionpaw shared a look with Reedpaw who stood next to him. He wasn't exactly sure why Frostpaw had wanted them to tag along while she went to talk to her mentor, but he wasn't going to decline. They weren't old enough to have their warrior assessments yet, but maybe the pressure of three pairs of eyes would get something out of the somewhat elusive warrior? Or maybe the silvery apprentice was planning on asking her about what had happened at the Gathering? He had no idea. It wasn't really worth the effort to question it anyway.

The black she-cats whiskers twitched at the ever blunt nature of her apprentice, but she gave a nod. [b]"I spoke to her about it this morning actually. We would have done it sooner but Dawnstar was busy setting up the alliance with FireClan."[/b] The tip of her tail tapped lightly on the sandy ground, [b]"Your assessment will be tomorrow at sunrise,"[/b] her eyes flicked to the other two apprentices, [b]"I'll let you know what it is tomorrow before we start."[/b]

A grin crossed Lionpaw's face as he looked towards Frostpaw. He knew how long she'd been waiting for her assessment and even if he was itching to be a warrior himself he was still happy for the silver tabby. He looked back to Nightwater with a curious expression in his amber eyes. [color=ffce00][b]"So is anything really going to change with this whole alliance thing?"[/b][/color] He had only heard what his clanmates who had attended the Gathering had said which was, admittedly, not much.

[b]"Not to my knowledge. We're keeping out territory and all that, but we can share prey and herbs with FireClan freely now as well as cross their borders without trouble."[/b] Nightwater shrugged, [b]"It's a change to be sure and some of the other clans believe it's a violation of the Warrior Code, but I don't see a problem with it."[/b]

[b]"Isn't the code from StarClan though? Does that mean we're not listening to them anymore?"[/b] Reedpaw's quieter voice piped up from where she stood next to Lionpaw. She was always quieter when she spoke to the warriors than anyone else.

Nightwater's green eyes widened slightly at the apprentice, [b]"I don't think that's the case,"[/b] she responded hastily, [b]"But that might be a better question for Embersky,"[/b] she paused, [b]"Or better to just not mention it at all."[/b] She pushed herself to her paws. [b]"I'm sure Dawnstar has thought this through,"[/b] though her voice sounded somewhat unsure. Her eyes shifted to Frostpaw, [b]"I'll see you bright and early for your assessment,"[/b] she told the she-cat before padding off to join Otterfang by the fresh kill pile.

[color=ffce00][b]"Well that was reassuring,"[/b][/color] Lionpaw muttered as he watched the older warrior walk away.
