Cindersky
"It is one I intend to keep and uphold until my last breath in ThunderClan." Cindersky did not fault Bumblepaw for being wary; when so many of the cats before her had treated him and his denmates the same way, of course it was going to be difficult to trust again. Trust was something that was earned, and though she would not say it she felt pride in him as he stood his ground for what he believed in.

Shifting her attention to Nectarflame, she bristled in alarm at the suggestion. Surely the she-cat would have seen Firebird to be a bigger threat? The cat had attacked two apprentices from another Clan at a gathering! For the sake of StarClan, that would bring RiverClan down upon them in full force - and ThunderClan was not ready or unified enough to handle that.

Alarm was clear in her gaze as she found she was unable to look away. "I did not." She felt her throat tighten, as she was still unsure how to feel about the golden she-cat. Personal feelings aside, Nectarflame had not been doing harm to the Clan on the same level that Firebird had displayed tonight. So hearing that this was what the meeting would start with shocked the senior warrior.

"Firebird will be dealt with. If they do not bring it up, then I will." She was unsure if that was a concern on his mind but decided to speak on it anyways, in a tone only Bumblepaw would be able to detect. Shock melted into a fierce look of determination as she sat quietly, refusing to speak or vote until Nectarflame gave her reasonings. But this whole meeting was already putting a sour taste in her mouth.
