That was that. As much as his nest was calling to him, Kestrelstar had to make sure Fernpaw got back home safe. He had hoped for one last night in his den before...

Not right now.

Getting to his paws, the RiverClan leader rested his tail across Fernpaw’s back - not to guide him per say, but let him know that he was there. Right there. Once outside his den, yellow eyes found Nightleap.

”Have Snakeheart and Splashleap meet me at the WindClan border once they’re awake. Speak nothing of this to anyone,” he asked her, hesitating for a moment. A part of him was wondering if he should tell her... No. There was no reason to cause more chaos than necessary; he trusted Splashleap to carry out his request.

With a nod, Kestrelstar headed out of camp with the WindClan apprentice.
