She'd told her littermates and parents for that matter, before they had all split up, that she could hold her own, that she didn't need twenty-four/seven protection. But she said nothing and glanced back towards the warrior before them, deciding that from now on she would at least let West do the talking; she would most likely just start an unnecessary fight.

Littledragon blinked, tilting her head curiously as West described her brother to her. Of course, there were a handful of tabbies in ThunderClan, matching the description that the tom before her had provided. A few moments of silence passed as the she-cat racked her brain. "Well, I mean there are a handful of toms like that in the Clan. There's (insert warrior here), (insert warrior here), Northpath, our medicine cat's apprentice... But he's with StarClan now," she trailed off, grief momentarily tugging at her heart as she spoke of ThunderClan's deceased apprentice. She hadn't known the tom too well, but had been an older apprentice when he had first joined ThunderClan, so she had watched him grow up under Zerosight's care, and had most likely had a scratch here or there treated by him. She sighed and looked back up at West. "But that's just in ThunderClan. There are three - now four, I guess - other Clans out there, so by just telling me a description doesn't really narrow down who it was..." she stated bluntly, her expression offering no apologies for her bluntness. Littledragon was a straightforward cat and would tell it how it was, regardless of the situation.

West waited quietly as the she-cat thought and then listened carefully as Littledragon was speaking. However, it wasn't such an easy thing for him to do; he was always impatient. The tom's mouth fell open in surprise as Littledragon mentioned the name Northpath among the other weird-sounding clan names. He took a clan name...? We thought he was kitnapped, but maybe we were wrong. He cast a side glance in South's direction, taking in her reaction to this new information before responding. "That... Northpath," He paused, the name sounding weird on his tongue. "Our brother's name was North, is it possible that he kept it a part of his clan name?" West was somewhat knowledgeble about clan life, having been bored one day and questioned a few of his 'friends' about it. The tom, however, was confused about the mention of this 'StarClan.' He figured that maybe it was this new clan he had been hearing about, the one that had freed the clan cats from the evil rule just a few moons ago. "Is StarClan that new clan you speak of? If so, could you maybe point us in the right direction?" The tom turned to South, determined. "We'll have to head there right away in order to get there before dark." He was confident that they had finally gotten the answers they were looking for. The young tom was excited to speak to his brother after all these moons. It was obvious that he didn't expect that the warrior had meant Northpath had died.
