Ears perked as he heard his name called, he turned his head to look at the culprit. Noticing who it was, the battle-scarred tom smiled and gestured for her to come over with a swish of his long-furred tail. "Snowstep! Are things going well for you?" he wanted to keep his mind off of the unstable climate of clan relations at the moment, hoping that the white she-cat would offer up a funny story or an interesting news-piece. He hadn't seen her in a while, after all.

With that, he shot a quick glance at Fallenstar. What was he going to say? Would he be explaining anything? Mistburr hoped that his words didn't start a heated argument between the leaders. He hoped Passionstar could maintain peace... ThunderClan didn't need another fight. The tom's ears flattened slightly before he looked back towards Snowstep, an apologetic look in his eye for the quick loss of attention. "Maybe things will turn out, hm? It'd be nice to have a break."

Roansplash had hesitated to come to the gathering, but he knew he had to. Besides, it would be a welcome change. He knew it would be good for Breezefeather, but he didn't want to tell the tom that that was his reason for coming along. For one, he knew the silvery tom wouldn't appreciate it. He seemed to dismiss the need for help or assistance, and this could easily be interpreted as such. Secondly, Roansplash didn't want Breezefeather to know that he'd gone out of his comfort zone to help him out. He was on a thin line here, the line of companionship. He didn't want to teeter off into the 'friend' section so easily. He was supposed to be shutting cats out, right?

The russet and white tom looked behind himself, to see if Breezefeather was still following him, part of him hoping that the spotted tom wasn't so that he could sneak back to camp or attempt to hunt again.
