The apprentice relaxed and replied, “I good, but I can’t seem to find Silverwave. Do you know where she might be?”

Hopepaw shrugged.

"Oh, well...thanks." Berrykit had no idea why she had been given away. Did she have kin here, or was it just by chance? Well, it wasn't important. She had a friend! And one friend was worth a thousand kin. Berrykit laid her head on her paws as well, glancing sideways at Houndkit. "If it's any help," She purred and extended a claw, a tuft of Dogspirit's fur cleanly snagged onto the tiny claw. "See? I told you she was here," Berrykit teased gently and set the fur down next to Houndkit.

Houndkit smiled a little, sniffing the fur. Smelled like Mom. She laid down, manifesting her future. She would be the fiercest, most loyal, powerful warrior in all the Clans! Then Dogspirit would be so proud of her! A rush of pride ran through her. She would have to take care of her siblings, just for Mommy. She hoped Mom was smiling down at her.

Maybe her dad would hear about his daughter, most powerful warrior ever, then he would come and meet her. He would stay in ThunderClan forever and ever!

At least, if he knew she existed.

"That isn't on my list of things to do. If I was given the chance to get revenge on Lionstorm, I would probably take it, but I'm not going to go out to get revenge of my own accord." she meowed, then sighed.
"None of us are going to rest easy, are we."
It wasn't really a question. It was a statement.

"Nope." Nectarmoon shook his head. "Doubtful. I wouldn't be surprised if someone went to go take revenge now."

The warrior nodded, glancing around the clearing and sighing.
"Neither would I, but I hope they would at least have the sense to take multiple cats,"

Graywhisker (identifying as she today) paced restlessly back and forth, not able to keep still. She shook her head and decided to just sit.

Nectarmoon raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

“Sure.” He said. “Lets go smallpines.” He said, smiling.

Iceheart nodded in agreement. and she started to lead the way to small pines.

Badgerbranch listened to Eveningmist as the tom spoke, his ears pricked. This was a serious time; dedication was all that mattered now. The tom stood stiffly, every muscle in his body rigid. The leader hadn't replied to him, although he had answered his question. Apparently, RiverClan wasn't to blame for any of this. Lionstorm was. The tom took a deep breath. A part of him wanted to take it all out on RiverClan - to prove and show that he had nothing to do with his birth Clan, with the Clan who he shared half of his blood from - but then again, would that be the smartest option? Badgerbranch forced his fur to lie flat and let out a hefty sigh, mainly to himself, and shook his broad head.

His claws scraped against the ground, though, as another thought occurred to him. Lionstorm wasn't RiverClan's leader anymore. But he still held influence, right? If Lionstorm had done something bad... then what if he told RiverClan to do the same? What if RiverClan decided to jump on their already clear tensions with ThunderClan and act on them? Badgerbranch wondered if these thoughts might come from his desperate attempt to prove himself free of his RiverClan heritage, but then he pushed those thoughts down. Stop thinking of yourself as a RiverClan cat! Even a former one who shares their blood! he scolded himself. He had to stop having these traitorous thoughts.

"Eveningmist, if I may speak up," Badgerbranch meowed, making his already deep, somewhat gruff-sounding voice louder so that it could be heard over the crowd of cats. "Even though it was Lionstorm who commited the crimes, and not RiverClan, do not forget that they are already hostile toward us due to the whole coyote situation. Also, Lionstorm was their leader for a long time." Their leader, not mine, he told himself silently, before continuing his talk. "He probably has influence on them. And who knows? Lionstorm was most likely injured, and that would be even more reason for RiverClan to attack us. We must take action as soon as possible, because who knows what they might do to us? Tensions are rising and we cannot avoid them. It is clear that RiverClan is not willing to listen to us; I thought that Buckstar mentioned the coyotes at the Gathering, from what I heard about it afterward. Were we just ignored?" His dark brown tail, with the white stripe running down the top of it, began to lash from side to side.

"If they aren't going to listen, then we must make them listen," he finished in a half-declaration. Then he went silent, waiting to see if Eveningmist would respond. Or any of the Clan, for that matter.

The Warrior shifted his weight, deadpanned look still held. "But that's exactly what you're saying you'll do." he stated. The scarred feline stepped forwards, ears twitching as he heard some chirps and whispers from those around him. He was never one to like attention, and frankly he always did his best to stay out of any sort of light and eyes. However with all that was happening, he couldn't just stand around and let 'what happens, happen.'

"You won't attack unless they take the first step. So unless they initiate'a fight they won't get 'n trouble for what their former leader has done." he let his last few words drawl out. "You'll let our clanmates just lie in the ground and leave it up ta those, who wronged us 'n the first place, choose whether or not they deserve justice." his expression stayed, however his words rose in volume, no anger or malice though. None of it.

"Eveningmist...you've been aroun' long enough ta know very well that your plan won't work. There's a difference between bein peaceful...and a difference between bein harmless. I think it's in all of our best interests ta show them that we were choosin to be peaceful." he kept his gaze on the leader. Searching for any form of anything from the tom. "Violence is the only universal language, 'n it's about time we hava conversation with 'em."
