Movement beside him caused Shadowfur to whip his head around. The adrenaline his body had generated in response to this fight hadn’t yet left his veins. He relaxed somewhat when he realized it was only Roanpaw.

The older apprentice pointedly pointed out that the cat before them was, in fact, dead. He then turned his gaze on Shadowfur. The black tom decided to stare right back, directly into his eyes.

Many cats seemed unnerved by the weird gremlin, but Shadowfur was curious. He didn’t view Roanpaw as any kind of threat; the tom might be a little unhinged, but he worshipped Dawnstar. Shadowfur believed the apprentice wouldn’t harm a Clanmate unless hell’s gift to the forest granted him permission to.

“Alive,” he said, speaking about Roanpaw. He wasn’t doing it to be humorous, although some may see it that way. Rather, he genuinely wanted to know how Roanpaw would handle his own personality being reflected back on him.
