Hollykit [She/Her]
Hollykit was listening the best she could, careful of leaving anything out. Her attention span is very poor.

Puddlekit [He/Him]
Puddlekit, beside Stormkit, was listening just as intently as Stormkit.
“What is the most important rule of the Warrior Code?” Puddlekit asked politely.

**Blackfir**
He was quiet a moment as the kits all gave their various responses but then he stopped on Puddlekit.
"To obey it," he chuckled lightly at his own joke but then let his face twist contemplatively. After a couple heartbeats, he answered more seriously,
"Other than to put your first loyalty to your clan, I guess it'd be that your leader's word is the Warrior Code. Remember, leaders were chosen and approved by Starclan, but leaders are also cats just like the rest of us. If you feel your leader has strayed and is no longer fit, there is a process to elect the deputy to take leadership. Insubordinance only leads to confusion and disorder."
He paused a moment before continuing,
"The rest of the codes are about traditional clan life to keep everything running smoothly. Another important one you'll need once you're apprentices is the Gathering is protected under the Warrior Code as a time of peace. So when oyu are permitted to go to the Gathering, you must respect that there is to be no fighting. As for our leadership, they have some of their own rules. After a leader dies or disappears, the deputy will become leader, unless Starclan rejects them. If a deputy is promoted or disappears, another new deputy must be named as soon as possible though a deputy should have had at least one apprentice. Are there any questions?"
