Silverpaw
Silverpaw felt her ears pin back as she heard a new voice snapping. It was Stormpaw. The small silver tabby hadn't expected her to say anything, at least not in such a way, but she truly admired her. She shuddered at Hollowstorms words, disgust plain on her face. She felt Fawnpaw crying. Turning with alarm, she started to stroke the she-cats back, hoping to provide comfort.
"We've got this, Fawnie. You got this. You don't have to apologise I promise. You aren't and never will be alone." She hadn't noticed Flintfang until he sat next to her, fur brushing against eachother. She was really glad her big brother was here. So much was happening. Before long, Pikestar finally spoke. It was time to bury Slatewhisker.
"I want to help, Pikestar. I'm sorry for my outburst. That isn't becoming of a future warrior of RiverClan." Of course, she wouldn't apologise to that stupid Hawkpaw. Not at all.

Pondwhisker
These days, Pondwhisker had become a tom of few words. He rarely got angry, and he was pretty gentle. Now, when the stupidity that was Hollowstorm spoke, he could feel the anger bubbling. He would let Pikestar handle the apprentices who had the outbursts, but the older cat would not allow such a cat disrespect his leader or the deputy. With a slight growl towards the cat now retreating to the nursery, Pondwhisker turned to Pikestar.
"Let's lay her to rest, friend. She will have good hunting, and she will be waiting to meet us all again." He stood and shook out his fur. He was prepared to bury a Clanmate, but it hurt him so much that she had to be so young. He couldn't cry in front of his Clanmates; he'd deal with his grief in private. They needed someone strong, and he would be that for them.
He turned to a new apprentice, Bluebellpaw, who was Slatewhiskers daughter.
"Come now, darlin'. We're gonna pick out the best spot for your mama, alright? I promise you that." He got down to her level, as she was much smaller than him, and smiled gently. He waved his paw to Snowkit as well, who was still clinging to Gingerfrost.
"Come now, Snowflake. You'll be safe with Gingerfrost and I." He hoped the small cat didn't mind the big tabbys nickname for her.
