Their scent couldn't be detected anywhere around camp, and though the leader had gone searching for them the first few days of being back, he also knew he couldn't be out of camp too long with how fragile the Clan's trust was in him now.
In the midst of his self-pity, the gray tabby managed to pull himself out of his own head as he spotted a rather late warrior. With a grin he trotted over to Plumstorm, nodding to her. Since their conversation at the border, he felt a little more comfortable around her. "I did, did I?" he replied, having caught her words. A cocky smirk appeared on his face as he surveyed the scene with yellow eyes once more. Everyone appeared to be having a good time - or at least were curious about the water. "Don't you want to take a dip? It might be a nice distraction from those," he mentioned, pointing a nose to the marks that were already in the healing process.

Slowly circling the hot springs proved to be a little tougher than she thought, and the shield was hardly even half-way around the edges when the leader approaches. He looked quite happy today, trotting and smiling and waving his tail feathers for everyone. Plumstorm looks up at him and chuckles. She'd have shrugged, if Yarrowshade hadn't scored her claws there during their skirmish. Tail curling over into a wide arc, the silver cat hums.
"Hmmmm."
It was the best she could do to possibly keep the guy on his toes.
"Take a dip?" his question made sense, obviously, but still took her off-guard. Glancing at the water and watching the steam unfurl from the surface, Plumstorm's lips tighten into a straight line.
"I don't..." What, was she supposed to admit to her leader that she didn't like water? RiverClan shield hates the feel of water?
"I was told not to swim until I heal a little more," Plumstorm finally says with a swallow, looking at Kestrelstar again.
"Medicine cat's orders, yup. No need to ask Snakeheart or anything though- He looks like he's having fun." Believe me, believe me, believe me.
