Power was a thing that could drive you out of control when you had too much, and being the leader of Riverclan- to him, that was definitely power. He was afraid of letting himself go, of losing his sense of morality like all the leaders of the dark era did. The cat was optimistic and kind, but he was worrying under that facade- with a clan in ruins thanks to a battle which some cats had yet to recover from, he was stressing himself out. He was trying to fix something that had to take time in order to heal, and patience was key here- something that was dwindling by the second as he sat, thinking. He'd do anything to prevent himself from becoming corrupt like that, knowing that he'd been given these nine lives for a reason, and that he had to use them wisely. His brooding was interrupted, however, by the sound of his friend's voice- something that at least relieved some of his anxiety at the moment. "...Cloudrain?" He called, trying to keep his voice firm and powerful- like it was supposed to be. He had to set an example, be a role model to all of the others who resided here. Russetstar had to keep it together.

Cloudrain jumped when she heard a familiar voice suddenly speak up. Searching through the den, she suddenly spotted her friend. Wow, he's great at hide and seek!, Cloudrain thought, being the optimistic and happy cat she was, that was the first phrase that came to mind, "You scared me. I didn't see you there", Cloudrain said, a wide grin on her face. With Bucknight gone, she didn't have many worries in her life. Now she just concentrated on socialising, training her apprentice Dulcetpaw, and contributing to the clan. It was just lile the way that life had been before the evil leaders took over each clan. Now that they were gone, that meant that gatherings would be back on! The thought excited Cloudrain. The tabby she cat would always be loyal to RiverClan, but she liked to socialise with other cats at the gathering. Of course she kept all the important information secret, but she liked to have a chat. "Congrats on become leader! You really do deserve it!", Cloudrain said in a loud and excited tone. A few cats mighht've heard her from outside the den. She was really happy for Russetstar though, and it was hard for a cat like Cloudrain to contain her support and happiness.
