[Kitty Mama]

Amusedly, Mintfrost would have to ask Flintstar if the route to being deputy simply required pitching a dangerous idea that appealed to his expansion efforts and reckless side, though he did hope they would be able to secure more land for Thunderclan. However, Duskfeather had done alot more for them than that, and honestly he couldn't remember Buckbranch doing the same. His efforts were spent pushing back against Flintstar's choices and without resolution, that didn't amount to much.
It was embarrassing to listen to Buckbranch's reaction for a tom that was almost as old as he was and in a previously-higher ranking position. He knew it had to be humiliating to be in this situation but a little grace would go a long way, especially for the possibility regaining his rank someday. Just caring had gotten them nowhere. But anything would be better than the stagnancy.
Mintfrost swiveled to face the two on the highpeak, hope for a better future burning in him and a silent plea that she'd have the initiative to make it happen. "Congratulations Duskfeather."
