After collecting his troublemakers and kit, Leechscar began making the journey back home. Of course, he had to catch up to Laurelpaw and snarl at her to stay with them. They weren't on WindClan's territory. To get to the Seastones WindClan had to cut through RiverClan's territory as did every clan, and Leechscar didn't need any misunderstanding started because a lone apprentice was wandering around. With the moon still high in the sky, he led his group the long way around RiverClan's territory, steering clear of the nearby pond, and relaxed once they reached the group of trees.

Weaving through the trunks, he cleared the leap over the small stream that turned into the river that marked the end of RiverClan's territory and the start of WindClan's. Skirting ThunderClan's border, he breathed a bit easier with the wide open sky above his head and the endless moor in front of him. Leechscar was pretty much silent the whole walk, aside from the occasional glance to make sure everyone was keeping up and Laurelpaw wasn't beating on Badgerpaw or that kit.

The young warrior took a moment to scan the territory scowling at himself. He was supposed to take Laurelpaw and Ashpaw back to camp first, but then he'd have to double back to get to the outskirts and he really did not like wasting his time. Thankfully, it seemed luck was on his side as a hulking silhouette came stalking down a hillside toward them. The broad scarred, shoulders, thick brown and white pelt, and intense green-yellow eyes had Leechscar giving the smallest smile.

"Batglare," he was far more willing to show this senior warrior his rightfully due respect. Leechscar was rather fond of brooding tom, as he was certain that Batglare was overdue for the elders' den or at least was considering the average age warriors retire. Yet Batglare continued to take on and train apprentices, as well as fight in whichever battles WindClan, needed him in. Leechscar wished he had trained under him, too bad he was barely made aware of the warrior's existence until the fight with ThunderClan over the cove. By then Leechscar had been pretty much done with his training. Batglare didn't seem to enjoy the spot of the light.

"If you don't mind, could you take Ashpaw and Laurelpaw back to camp with you? Twilightstar ordered them back to camp to wait for their punishments. Laurelpaw attacked Badgerpaw over a kit and Ashpaw ran ahead to the gathering and then was repeatedly disrespectful to Twilightstar." Leechscar carried on before the apprentices could add any say. "I have prior business to handle with Badgerpaw and this kit. But Twiightstar said that if they act up you can report it to her when she returns from the gathering and their punishments will be more severe."

With the kit in tow, Badgerpaw followed Leechscar, keeping his eyes on his Clanmate ahead. He had an odd feeling in his gut. Although he had been out in the territory before with Twilightstar, it was a little odd to be carrying a kit and being led by Leechscar into the outskirts. He had left the outskirts to join WindClan. Of course, he'd remain a WindClanner, but what would happen to Leechscar, Badgerpaw, and the kit? But now was not the time to worry about that. Now was the time to stay silent and watch Batglare take his bully of a Clanmate and other denmate back to the Clan. He didn't dare try to speak, the kit's scruff was in his mouth. I don't want to accidentally drop him...

It was probably good that he'd be accompanying Leechscar on the journey to find the kit. After all, he was an outsider, so he knew some parts of the outskirts. Granted, it has been a couple moons, but he still recalled what it all looked like. He knew of some good spots to lay in during the night. I just hope we'd be able to stay warm.
