Sweetsong listened, though she didn't speak out. Doing so would only invite Birdsnow's scorn onto her. It was bad enough her leader was discrediting her for merely talking to a lost outsider. Sweetsong knew she should be angry. To speak out on this unfairness...to plead her case. But the news, or at least the implication, that she had been one of the medicine cat candidates broke her heart to pieces. She had sullied her chance, ruined it because of her own efforts to be kind.

She didn't even understand how exactly she had disobeyed orders. She had confronted the kittypet...it wasn't her fault her leader and Fadingsun had come upon them so quickly. But just because their hackles weren't raised and claws unsheathed, they were being punished.
It was unfair, and Sweetsong didn't bother to hide her tears as she stared at Birdsnow from where she was crouched at the edge of the clearing. Doing her best to be a pebble. Small and insignificant once more.

Noticing Sweetsong padding off with tears in her eyes, Butterflywing glanced at Birdsnow atop of the Floodstone before getting to her paws and following the crestfallen warrior.

´´Sweetsong?´´

Butterflywing´s voice was soft, and she sat down beside her Clanmate, ginger-and-white fur glowing like flames in the sunlight.
