Saying that, if Thunderclan still wanted a fight, he would give them one. Glancing over at Halfgaze, he nodded, “I can, don’t start anything,” he murmured. Glancing up at the sky, he was relieved to see the moon still there, despite the many clouds. Starclan was still allowing the gathering to go on, so nothing bad had happened yet. Glancing around for Thunderclan’s patrol, he decided not to become paranoid, and walked normally, telling himself that if Thunderclan wanted a battle, they could pick it, he wasn’t starting it.

Halfgaze was aware that everyone on the patrol was fully capable of recognizing Thunderclan scent. She knew that Goldenstar must have smelled it. However, the presence of another clan they they’d recent fought put the tortoiseshell on edge. She wanted to gauge the leader’s reaction and see if he was as concerned as her. She nodded to his response and faced forward again, trying to stop herself from looking around for the other clan. Halfgaze didn’t think that she had actually alerted him to their presence, but now he knew that she knew.
