I guess I'll finish up training with her, he thought to himself with a sigh. He didn't have a thing against her, it was just that Redpaw hadn't gotten over Firesweep's disappearance, and getting a new mentor so quickly didn't help much...

A quiet one, huh? Good, less yapping meant more time for training. The tortoiseshell warrior stayed next to Redpaw but focused her attention once again on the great leader. As much as she'd love to rant about training tactics, the meeting came first. Of course, she did the ceremonial calling of all the new apprentices' names, encouragement was good in times like these, after all.

It's not like it was hard to tell Kestrelstar was off today, Rootgaze was not close with him but him being leader and all it was easy to figure out when he acted unordinary. She dipped her head when the death was announced but she was very intrigued by the grey leader's traitor speech. She'd been expecting war, she thought everyone was, ThunderClan couldn't simply get away with murdering a former leader along with countless others.

Rootgaze's tail swished, she was caught up in Kestrelstar's speech for sure. "Looks like some battle training is first on our agenda." She spoke to Redpaw but her gaze stayed trained on the leader, ThunderClan would get what was coming to them and any cat who didn't like that was not loyal to RiverClan. However, even if the leader himself said to kill, she would only resort to such lengths if necessary, as the warrior code taught.
