The Enforcer noticed Smolderingpaw's tail quivering in excitement, but he managed to remain calm, which pleased her immensely. She wouldn't discourage excitement, but making a fool out of yourself in public because of it wasn't something she would tolerate.
Vixensnarl stepped back once she had touched noses with Smolderingpaw to allow Dawnstar to continue her announcement. First was Mirehound's challenge to Cougarivy, and she leaned down to speak to her apprentice without disturbing the others.
"You should watch. It will be a good opportunity to see how the elites of ShadowClan battle."
The next topic was the one she had been waiting for. It was finally time for Mintbranch to pay for his actions, and a pleased smirk curled across Vixensnarl's maw as Smolderingpaw called for his death.
"Mintbranch is not a Clanmate I would ever trust to watch my back again. He would have let us die, and there's no coming back from that. I want him dead."

Slytiger

The Toyger was pleased as Singepaw seemed to settle comfortably beside him while the meeting continued. Despite having been in ShadowClan for many moons, he hadn't been born here. In fact, Slytiger had been a rogue for most of his life. There had been a nagging feeling of worry in the back of his mind that Singepaw wouldn't want him as a mentor because of that, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Dismissing his thoughts, the striped tom listened as Dawnstar announced that Mirehound would be challenging Cougarivy for the position of Enforcer Commander and immediately saw a training opportunity.
"Singepaw, I'm going to require you to go to the fight between Mirehound and Cougarivy. While you watch, I want you to observe how the two experienced cats fight, but look for things that you think they could have done better or they did well. Afterward, you'll tell me what you thought, and we'll go over the fight and general battle tactics."
While this wasn't exactly an average training experience for apprentices, Slytiger thought it would be good for Singepaw to see what a real battle between warriors would look like. Plus, it would be more enjoyable than him just droning on about tactics.
Dawnstar's following announcement about Mintbranch caused the fur to prickle along the warrior's spine and a growl to rumble in his throat. Typically Slytiger wasn't one to be so expressive of anger, but this issue was an exceptionally touchy subject for him.
"If I may, Dawnstar, Mintbranch should be executed. I came to ShadowClan to find a home and a purpose. To find cats I could trust to watch my back as I would watch theirs so I wouldn't have to look over my shoulder anymore. The behavior that Mintbranch displayed is that of a rogue, only helping others when it benefits them and not willing to risk his pelt for cats he doesn't care about. I guarantee that becoming a Disgrace won't change him, and he'd instantly return to his old ways. Mintbranch needs to be put down for the safety of everyone."
