The shock on Frostwhisker’s face was the kind of reaction she’d expected. Part of her was curious to see how much the she-cat would be able to cover, how willing she was to listen. Dawnstar had little use for warriors who weren’t completely loyal to her and her ideas. The lashing tail did not go unnoticed but the restraint was surprising from the blunt warrior. She’d seemed bold enough talking to her son, but now she was holding her tongue. 

The question was expected and Dawnstar already had an answer crafted.[color=9e0b0f][b] “Many of our warriors, unfortunately, are very set in their ways. You’re new to being a warrior and are, I should hope, more willing to learn all you can.”[/b][/color] Her whiskers twitched, though with what emotion it was difficult to tell, [color=9e0b0f][b]“You’ve grown up watching our warriors and know our ways, yet you’re still young enough to learn from our closest allies.”[/b][/color] 

One of Whitestar’s warriors would be coming to her as well, and whoever the tom chose would be welcomed. She wouldn’t trust them though. Part of why she wanted Frostwhisker there was to keep an eye on the going’s on in the camp. Listen for dissent and any rumors. 

She smiled at the tabby, [color=9e0b0f][b]“I want you to take this opportunity to learn what you can. However, I also want you to listen. Gossip, rumors, discontent, anything that catches your attention.”[/b][/color] She knew Frostwhisker was good at listening and it would be helpful to put those skills to use. [color=9e0b0f][b]“You’re a competent young cat Frostwhisker and I wouldn’t choose you if I didn’t think you were up to it. I’ll give you a couple days to settle your thoughts before you go to FireClan.”[/b][/color] She waved her tail in dismissal, [color=9e0b0f][b]“Oh, and try not to mention the more…clandestine nature of your assignment,”[/b][/color] with that said she turned her attention back to her constantly twisting thoughts with no further room for arguement.
