Dogbark made his way towards the Thunderwillow, his fresh wounds stinging with pain from where the wraps were being peeled back by the wind, and he made a mental note to check Icicleripple's rotting herb store for marigold (of course, marigold that was close to rotting, he wanted to leave the freshest herbs for anyone who needed them) and the forest for cobwebs.

Tail flicking (and shooting a stabbing pain up his spine, he had to remember to stop doing that until it healed) with concern as he saw the light in Aspenstar's eyes, giving away that she had something planned, and we wasn't sure if he would agree with it or not, Dogbark took a seat at the base and gave himself a quick grooming as he smoothed down his fur, hoping that the injuries would at least be slightly concealed so that he wouldn't get so many odd looks or hushed words of concern.

Spotting Nectarflame in the crowd, he couldn't help but nod slightly in her direction, as she was one of the few cats who he'd known to be able to ruffle him, albeit slightly. [ @implimm ]

"I hope you aren't planning anything that's going to make you look worse up there," He muttered up to Aspenstar, in a tone so low that only she could hear him, "Being petty about Nectarflame- who was saying what really were truths spat with harsh words- would make you look like you're trying to control what comes out of our clanmate's mouths, which is exactly what Dawnstar does, mind you." [ @poppy. ]

Hopefully the comparison to Dawnstar would keep her from doing something out of frustration for Nectarflame's call out, which honestly shouldn't have deterred her so much, if she was to be a role model for the cats in ThunderClan, she would need to grow a thicker skin.
