Kestrelpaw didn't really love coming to the border. It wasn't like it was the warmest, fuzziest place on earth. And then there were other problems too, like... she didn't like RiverClan cats. They made her uncomfortable. And some of the time they made her lose her temper. Because they were just so dumb sometimes, she couldn't help but lose her temper with them. And now? With ShadowClan moving in with them? Oh, what was Kestrelpaw doing here? This was practically a ticking time bomb for her to lose her temper, to scream at a cat passing by, and all she could do was hope that she wouldn't. The apprentice was mature. Rare was the time when she would raise her voice at anyone, scream at them, shout or rant at them - it was always calm and well-thought out remarks. Except when it came to these cats... because she hated them just enough to the point where it was impossible for her to do anything else.The breeze blew through her fur, ruffling it slightly so that it was not as neat and perfect-looking as the rest of her.

Though she was hardly the type of cat to make sure that her fur was perfectly groomed. The apprentice looked across the border, wrinkling her nose at the fishy smell. StarClan, it was disgusting here. Her paws seemed to be rejecting the very ground, shifting themselves around and picking first one, then the other up and she stared down at them as though they were someone else's paws entirely. Her sharp green eyes payed attention to the territory around her, on both sides of the border. Any cat who tried to cross over was going to get one heck of a surprise when they did. Aime'Storm had taught the young apprentice well, and she was prepared to defend her Clan if it came to it. Although to be honest, she was kind of hoping that it wouldn't. Respect was an important part in any Clan relationships, and she didn't want the respect between the two Clans to be broken. Now if this was WindClan?

That would be another matter, but the last thing that Snowstar needed was reports of a ThunderClan apprentice going crazy and attacking RiverClan warriors. Or at least, RiverClan apprentices. She wasn't stupid enough to attack a warrior. She knew that she would lose, Kestrelpaw was intelligent! Intelligent enough to tell that, anyways. The sky above was dark and she had come out here when she probably wasn't allowed to - just in case some idiot chose to cross the border.
