None of Bumba's announcements were news to Wolfhive, and he twitched his ears as Mudhound pitched in. The ShadowClan blood thing was new, but.. why would anyone care about that?
"Blood has never been the concern, Mudhound.. it's the fact their community has harmed others so much. It's hard.. to separate the sinless and the sinned, when all you associate with the cats they live with is pain." Thrushkit was a good example of how little blood actually mattered here. [ @

He shuffled his paws against the ground, feeling that same apprehension and nerve he felt in Bumba's den. He didn't.. like this, but Wolfhive had always tried to be fair - and his prejudice had blinded him to those who
could not in any form, have participated in some of RiverClan's crimes.
".. For what it's worth, I also.. agree, that we should allow those who wish to escape join. Kits, apprentices.. those who we know weren't involved, and those we don't have a reason to suspect." He was beginning to sound like Springlight here with his thought process! Oops.
"But, if we open it to warriors, I think we should just keep it to younger warriors. RiverClan has been this way for.. seasons, at this point. Longer than I remember. Whatever the older cats of RiverClan have been teaching them, we can at least correct it 'n get them to the point where they're worthy of being called a warrior."
That was his two cents. Was a long way from his initial reaction, and left him feeling exhausted. Wolfhive shuffled over to sink by Violetfreckle, not-so-subtly wanting cuddles. [ @
