Splash and Starling -- oh dear. Ottersplash winced at the noticeable tension building between the two felines, mouth going dry. Splashleap’s tone was a little uh, edgy? The deputy was just nervous, though! Trying hard like all of them to serve the clan. He couldn’t imagine the pressure on her shoulders right now. And...Starling was usually so kind. Could it be a misunderstanding? Ottersplash made a mental note to check in later and see if the older warrior was okay; maybe stuff weighed on her mind, too.
On THAT awkward note. Shells! The ginger tom matched Splashleap’s speed leaving the camp, his long limps extending with every stride until he caught up with her.
“Hey,” Ottersplash hummed in greeting, trying to bump his shoulder into Splash’s (if the deputy allowed it.) “Don’t worry about what she said. Starling’s probably just having a bad day, ya know? I think you’re doing great!” A gentle laugh vibrated in his chest as Otter tried to meet her eyes, almost sheepish. “And about the Lilyfrost Lizardfrost thing? You’re definitely not alone. I mix up names all the time, so - yeah.” He smiled with all the warmth he could muster. “You got this!”
With that he took more of a backseat, following Splashleap’s lead. Otter didn’t know if that helped but...he hoped so.

Stormtalon’s attention shifted away from Vinepaw and onto Starlingflight, the leader of their little side patrol.
A good deputy respects and listens to suggestions from their warriors.
“And a good warrior doesn’t publicly undermine their deputy out of pettiness,” Stormtalon mewed in a quiet, neutral tone as he approached, uncaring if Starlingflight heard. He usually refrained from commenting on this sort of thing. Leaders who listened to their subordinates showed wisdom, yes, but humiliating Splashleap (someone with everything to prove) didn't fix anything. It was just bad for morale.
“Stay in my sight, Vinepaw,” he murmured. Silvery fur rippled as Stormtalon followed his patrol out of the camp.

Starlingflight narrowed her eyes at the young deputy. If she was getting upset that cats were willingly tossing her possible ideas, then she should act appreciative; not like any cat was trying to step on her toes. "A good deputy respects and listens to suggestions from their warriors. It's foolish to act like they're an inconvenience; More heads working together is better than trying to think alone."
Splashleap had given her the task, and Starlingflight shook her head. "It was merely a suggestion, Splashleap... Be careful; Spitefulness isn't a very likeable trait." The black and white molly said quietly before flicking her tail and padding away. But before she went, she called over her shoulder, "Also, it's Lizardfrost, you're sending out with me, I believe. We don't have a 'Lilyfrost' in RiverClan." The older molly snorted, allowing a small amount of contempt to resonate in the sound as she padded off. Splashleap had bounded off after assigning her patrols. Hmph.
She searched for the cats she was to go out with, calling their names, Lizardfrost, Stormtalon, Vinepaw and Yellowpaw; We're going out to get mud and reeds to fortify the camp and den walls." She meowed and padded out of the camp.

Lizardfrost, rather prepared for patrol as usual, simply joined the rest of the cars. Was she supposed to say anything? Eh.
