"I'm all for second chances, but I'd like to know what made you leave ThunderClan in the first place?"

Perhaps if the young Keeper knew what made this apprentice leave, then perhaps it could be a chance to improve ThunderClan. Of course, she'd have to talk with Sparrowstar about it first before trying anything. Flameheart was glad the apprentice didn't want anything to do with the poisoned claws that had caused the deaths of a few ThunderClanners so many moons ago.

Oh, boy... he's still sour over the fact he got caught. That's a typical troublemaker for you, I suppose... Flameheart fought to keep her expressions empty as she listened to the apprentice ramble on about his dislikes and willingness to come back if Flameheart tossed him back out into the forest.

"Look- Sparrowstar is busy tending to her duties, Thrushfur is mourning the deaths of his daughter and apprentice, and the other Keepers are busy back at camp. Whether you like it or not, I'm handling your rejoining. I don't care if you don't like me, that's your opinion. I moved past our argument because I have better things to do in life such as protecting the Clan and training my apprentices. I apologized back then, I don't feel the need to apologize now. Let's get back to the topic at paw, shall we? What happened to make you go missing in the first place?"

The young Keeper and temporary deputy was not looking forward to Goldenpaw's sharp words, but if it meant his presence back in ThunderClan, then this was worth it. As much as she disliked the tom, the Clan needed him to help out, especially now that Quietpaw, Weaselpaw, and Cloudyflight were in StarClan. I just hope he stops his petty argument. It's not doing him or me any good.

Goldenpaw the almighty | he/him

"Easy for you to say, you weren't the one getting someone else's authority lorded over you for no reason other than just wanting to stoke their ego. You can move past it all you want, but I'm not going to follow your 'example'." He brushed off the information with little more than a flick of the ear, seemingly focused on their quarrel. It might have been a bad idea, but Goldenpaw wasn't a quitter nor a coward.

Still, he did know when to put his own distaste somewhat aside - this did affect the result of his rejoining, after all. So, with a heavy sigh, he started to actually explain his absence. I got lost in the territory and got attacked by birds" he mumbled under his breath, obviously not wanting to talk about it any more. Why would he? It was embarrassing! Stars, he could already imagine Hazelpaws reaction when he got to telling her about it.
