It was at that moment, of course, that their leader and medicine cat darted back into camp, and Spidernose’s attention was immediately drawn to the older she-cat as she trotted past them. The warrior had scarcely mewed a greeting of “Welcome back, Fernstar…!” before Fernstar was scaling the Highstump and calling a Clan meeting. When Stonefall beckoned them over, Spidernose mumbled a quick, polite excuse to Sunfur and Stormheart. Well, I guess our hunting patrol will have to wait. This could be important, we should hear it too. she concluded.

Noticing the stone-grey tom hesitating and glancing in her direction, her expression softened sympathetically and she wove delicately through the small crowd of cats as they gathered to come up beside the deputy and settle herself down there, close enough for their flanks to just about brush against one another, and after a moment of thought, she carefully and gently draped her tail over his. That was subtle enough that Stonefall could pull away from the contact if he wasn’t comfortable with it, but still there if he wanted it.

She couldn’t imagine how he must be feeling right now, with everything that had happened during the night, and she couldn’t say for sure what would happen now that Fernstar was back to assess their situation, but what Spidernose could do was offer him comfort in that moment, in the only way she knew how.

The she-cat’s ears flicked back slightly as she listened to Stormheart recount what their search patrol had discovered in the territory. Well, perhaps that was when their new guests had encountered these raccoons. Though...if they’d been attacked, surely Sunfur and Stormheart would have smelt the raccoons there, too? Oh, she hoped Fernstar would be back soon, their leader could decide what to do.

Spidernose couldn’t be too mad at the other tom for asking, even if she felt like a mockingbird, repeating the same few sentences over and over. It wasn’t his fault that he wasn’t there when she explained this to Sunfur, though. So, Spidernose filled the other tom in for what she hoped might be the last time. “While you and Sunfur were gone, this group of rogues...maybe loners, I don’t know, came into camp, all scratched up. Said they’d been in a fight with raccoons or something.” she explained, lashing her tail as if to confirm that Spidernose wasn’t sure how true their story was, either, but nonetheless they didn’t have solid evidence to back it up otherwise. They’d just have to wait and see, and hope StarClan would keep WillowClan safe from any nefarious intentions. “Stonefall didn’t want to turn them away because of the warrior code, but we didn’t want to leave them unsupervised, either. Just in case they are rogues that are trying something suspicious, you know? So he assigned them to sleep in the nursery, since there’s no one in the Clan using it right now, and Duskwing’s sitting guard.”

It made sense, of course, better to keep the strangers separated from their Clanmates until they could be sure they were trustworthy. It’d be far worse to let them mingle with everyone and sleep in the warrior’s den, only to find one or more of their own cats had been injured because the strangers had hurt them in the night. As Stonefall was briefed on Sunfur’s idea, the she-cat remained quiet, though she did look across at the deputy and blink at him gently, almost as if she wanted to give him some form of reassurance and say. It’s okay, we’ll be fine...we’ve got this.

You take me for a fool (fool), that doesn't make me foolish

Spidernose, too, passed a lingering gaze over her new apprentice and her denmate, giving both apprentices a faint, reassuring smile before she slid out of the warrior’s den after Sunfur and slunk across the camp. Maplestream seemed okay, at least, so that was good, she hadn’t been hurt. By these racoons, or whatever else was lurking about in their territory. Another possibility, Spidernose considered, was that these strangers had been attacked by something after all, and it just hadn’t been racoons. But that of course left a far more concerning possibility. They couldn’t smell racoons, and little else other than their own scent markers, or the strangers’ scents, nearby the camp. So what was it that could have attacked them?

Well, one thing was for sure, at least if they went out hunting, then she, Sunfur and Stormheart could take a look at it. “Sorry you have to rush out with us again so quickly, Stormheart.” the she-cat mewed a sincere apology to the other tom as she fell in next to him to wait whilst Sunfur tried to speak to the Clan deputy and tell Stonefall where they were going. “You must be tired...but at least Maplestream is back okay, I guess? That’s a huge relief. Did you guys see anything else, while you were out looking for her?” Spidernose asked, wanting to be as prepared as possible for whatever they might see when they went out into WillowClan territory again.
