"And what do you think you're doing here?"

Jumping down from a nearby tree, Sparrowstar regarded the wandering outsider coolly before padding closer to prevent them from walking any further into the forest.

"This is Thunderclan territory. State your business or leave."

She couldn't be too careful after that last rogue attack. While this intruder smelled more like two-legs, they could be affiliated with the foxhearts who had attempted to steal Thunderclan's kits.

Far too many of her warriors were being snatched by two-legs nowadays... Perhaps Sparrowstar needed to implement some new training.

"While I am glad to see you back, you should know better than to get close to two-legs," Sparrowstar stated sternly. "Head back to camp, however I expect you to hunt along the way to make up for your absence."

Perhaps she needed to implement some new punishments as well. Hmmm... Giving a final nod to the returned warrior, Sparrowflight trotted back off into the underbrush to sort out her ideas.

Roosterflame was a little startled by Sparrowflight’s reaction, but he understood why she would be not-too-happy with him, he did disappear without any warning for a while, and that wasn’t good at all.
“I wouldn’t have left if I could help it, Sparrowflight. Honest. You wouldn’t believe how hard I fought to stay here,” He sat down and shook out his neck fur, letting the bell fall ringing to the ground and roll to a stop at Sparrowflight’s paws,
“That,” He said, pointing at the trinket, “Was from the collar that was forced on me by some horrible twoleg couple. It was pink! A rancid pink. I was just going for a walk when some twolegs came walking through the forest! They chased me for a full fifteen minutes before they grabbed me and took me, kicking and scratching, to the back of their monster. They took me away in that beast, and I’ve only just found ThunderClan again. I promise I won’t leave again if I can help it,” He explained the whole ordeal with a bit of a sob in his throat, “Please, let me come back.”

Brows furrowed as Roosterflame told his story and showed her the little bell. Two-legs were getting bolder by the day it seemed... And that didn't bode well for her warriors.

"Of course, I'll let you back," Sparrowstar stated, voice softening slightly at his distress. "You are a valuable member of this clan, and I'm very glad to see you returned unharmed. Oh and it's... Sparrowstar know. As I said, you've missed quite a bit."

Stepping back, Sparrowstar gave the tom a brief nod of dismissal.

"I would appreciate it if you went out to hunt once you're re-settled in. Thunderclan has many mouths to feed nowadays."

The sand and cream colored felt her sister move back a little, and swallowed a little at the first words, but her muscles relaxed and a slight chuckle even escaped her when Sparrowflight mentioned this experience being enough for punishment. She perked up a little when her mother and littermate were mentioned, but with every second of Sparrowflight's trail-off, she felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. Got it, they were gone. Of course she wouldn't be allowed to be quite that happy.

She remembered Cindersky vaguely, and it made sense for an older cat to take over, but it didn't seem that leadership had lasted too long. Killed by a badger. Tulippaw could clearly hear the pain in her sister's voice, and understood that she and the leader must have gotten closer when working on getting Thunderclan back on it's feet. But then Sparrowflight said something more, and Tulippaw's somewhat sympathetic expression disappeared, her face becoming completely blank.

"Wha..."

She went over the words in her head again. Before the leader had lost her last life, Sparrowflight had been the deputy. But... no- that had to mean... "Sparrow...star, then?" The name tasted so... odd on her tongue. Her sister? As leader? It wasn't impossible of course, it had never been. It was just... Stars, she should really have been here for that.

Yup. There it was. The disbelief that shot a thorn directly into her heart.

Swallowing the lump in her throat, the tan she-cat merely hummed in acknowledgement before letting a thoughtful silence envelope the pair. It didn't matter that she was the leader, she'd always be Tulippaw's sister. They had to know that right?...

Clearing her throat, she decided to break the silence with a bit of formality as she stepped in the direction of camp.

"Well... I suppose now's as good a time as any to get you back home. Come, put your tail on my back and I'll show you the way."
