"The two of you have more important duties to attend to than entertaining and enabling this nursery tale, I am sure." He turned his head to the siblings next. "And you two - your loyalty is to ThunderClan, not spirits who are perfectly capable of helping themselves. As an outsider among our ranks, Ashpaw, you in particular are expected to do better. If you cannot dedicate yourself to the Clan that has so graciously taken you in, perhaps it is better that you take your leave."

Ashpaw’s eyes widened.
“Yes, they’re right. I don’t think you.. understand! Yes. You might not have.. uh.. heard everything? I think? Uhm.. please.. just.. uh.. I don’t mean to meddle in anything, really I just want to help..” they stuttered. If they couldn’t gather support for The Quasar, they would be as good as dead. As for Nettlepaw..
Ashpaw feared what would happen to them if this didn’t work.

Nettlepaw stared at Ashpaw in shock, then back at Mountaintalon. They felt terrible for their sibling, but felt nothing towards Mountaintalon. They weren’t scared. They were angry.
“You.. how.. dare you. Ashpaw is.. trying.. their.. best. We aren’t.. warriors. We.. just want.. to help. Especially.. since.. Ashpaw.. is still.. new to.. Thunderclan. Is helping.. your.. ancestors.. really.. such a.. bad thing?” they snapped at Mountaintalon, before their eyes widened. Nettlepaw backed away. They shouldn’t have said that. THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE SAID THAT.

The green-eyed apprentice looked over at the other cats sharply, fear in their gaze.
