''Pigeonkit's behavior disgusts me,'' Mountainspring mewed as she slipped into the den, granted entry by Owlstar. ''I don't know where he learned it from, but I plan to eradicate the issues he has with his temper. It's...not good, and I'm afraid that he'll make a fool of himself as a warrior, and a mentor in the future.''

Sick? "Good thing they left." Owlstar hissed, clearly peeved. Well, they were gone now, she couldn't exactly do anything about it at the moment, but she swore if they came back they'd be dead before they could blink. Besides the kit of course, it's likely she'd bring them to a nearby two-leg den to compensate. She hated reckless mothers, reckless parents in general. Their children shouldn't have to die for their stupidity.

The tabby gave a sigh and groomed through her bristling matted pelt. "Thank ya, Primrosesadder, yer free ta leave." Bloodstained claws picked absentmindedly at her mossbed, signs of her fuming. She decided not to dwell on it. However, if somecat got sick, that was another problem.

Owlstar gave Mountainspring a nod. "Aye, kits are about as unpredictable as anythin'. Usually, they grow out a whatever behaviors they may have." Owlstar shot a glance at Pigeonkit. She knew for a fact that when she was younger she was a handful. Though, she wasn't sure whether or not her parents could handle that fact, given they were never around. She then looked back to Mountainspring, sincerity pooling in her one eyed gaze. "All that matters is that yer tryin', some cats don't 'ave half the devotion ta do just that."

Regardless, he didn't want to say something he couldn't be truthful about, even if he had no control over it. Songwave had never been face to face with a leader before, and he wasn't sure if she wanted him to speak more or not. He might have already wasted his opportunity to explain himself... but he wouldn't know until their talk was over.

At her next question, he hesitated in confusion. Not because he doubted his abilities, but because he doubted the question entirely. "I wouldn't have returned, had I not wanted to." The tom replied, blue eyes flicking to the side in thought. 'Did I word that correctly?' He wondered, mind beginning to swirl inside his head. Songwave gazed back up at the leader, his emotions subtly making their way onto his face with his now furrowed brows. He took a breath to settle his mind.

"I'll do what I've always done for Riverclan, by being the warrior which makes this clan." He said simply. This meant; to perform his task and uphold his role which had earned him his warrior name. The tom never went above and beyond, but he always made sure to fulfil it like every other warrior before his kidnapping. "But, I... There is a special part of Riverclan, that gave me the strength, and motivation, to return..." Songwave wasn't sure if she'd understand, or if he should continue. Being with Almondchatter, it really was no secret who his mate was, but Owlstar might be unaware of their kits. He couldn't blame her, being a leader was busy work, which was the exact reason he had never interacted with the previous one. He was hoping he was doing this right, so he could see them all again.

Owlstar watched keenly, seeing how Songwave's expression churned and twisted as he spoke, as though trying to figure out if his statements were enough. Owlstar wasn't asking for much however, just that he wouldn't slack off. Sometimes getting back into warrior life after being snatched up by two-legs was hard, especially since they pamper anything with fur, even dogs (which was absolutely hilarious).

The scarred tabby gave a shrug and a small smile. She wasn't sure what he was eluding to, but she wouldn't press for it. "As long as ya pull yer weight. Two-legs didn't know where ya came from, eh? Last thing I want is those leggy thin's in my camp n' snatchin' up my warriors." Infact, where did they find Songwave? Owlstar assumed somewhere out in territory, which was far better than where the heart of her clan was, but still mildly concerning.

Berryshine slipped inside, blinking to adjust to the darkness. The den looked even more cozy than last time she'd been in here; Owlstar had truly made it her own these past few moons. Or perhaps she'd just adjusted to leadership well, taking on the burden only few could carry.

The medicine cat approached her leader and respectfully dipped her head in greeting, tail tip twitching. "Hi, thanks. I... just wanted to report to you. A-A warrior of ours—Tigerfire—c-came into camp bleeding and looking pretty wrecked. I healed her up, a-and she's resting now, but what she told me concerns me. Thought m-maybe you should know."

Ears flicking, the small brown molly shifted on her paws, as if nervous of what she had to say. It wasn't the best news to deliver.

"Well... Tigerfire's paw got caught in this sort of... trap, thing. She said it looked like some w-weird Twoleg contraption. We think it was o-only meant for prey, because it was so small a-and she was able to escape out of it herself. But just wanted to inform you, in case..." Berryshine paused, taking in a breath. "She also mentioned that a rogue had slipped by and clawed at her eyes. D-Didn't get to see where they went or what they looked like. I don't know if it was a one-off thing or not, s-so... figured I should tell you."

Berryshine's job put her in the unique position of getting all sorts of cases and hearing many stories of how things happened... and some where concerning enough to be brought to the leader. Hopefully, this was all just a freak incident, and she was simply bringing it up and nothing else would happen.

That was certainly a story if she'd ever heard one.

The leader physically straightened up. Rogues and two-legs, stars, did they ever leave them alone? Her eyebrows knit together in calculated worry, her one eyed gaze glancing around her den as she thought. A trap for prey? Were mice and doves to hard for two-legs to catch? Well, the furless creatures were somewhat stupid, but insanely destructive.

"Do ya happen ta know where the trap is? Or 'ave a specific description?" Owlstar needed to know what this thing was so she could avoid it and get rid of it. She was about to ask if the patient had seen anymore traps but she swiftly remembered Tigerflare was blinded shortly after.

She couldn't help but find the timing odd, like the rogue itself knew the trap was there. "Did she tell ya what part a territory it was?" Owlstar was going to start marching into two-leg nests just to terrorize them so they would back off.

_____________________________________________

it was just a joke …

fury rang through rowanmanes ears as his tail lashed, staring down the apprentice. luckily, before he could respond irrationally, owls decided to speak up…that was for the best. his attention dragged back to the leader carefully. he agreed with each word she said…it wasn’t funny, how could a cat even justify that as ‘just a joke’?! the lionheart nodded slowly as the leader gave her jurisdiction, agreeing completely. “‘f course, anythin’ t’ protect the clans young…” and the clan in general, he refused to let them crumble from the inside out…and he refused to let them be destroyed by any other source. rowanmane dipped his head kindly before turning around and signaling goosekit to exit, and he’d subsequently follow.

She offered the midnight tabby a grin. "Sure ya ain't." She knew he was, skittish enough to startle, that's for sure.

Her smile slowly fizzed away as she listened to the Lionheart approach the heart of the manner. Her muscles tensed at the reminder. It was truly horrible, seeing a kit get carried away by a hawk. She'd thought about that day so many times, it played like a perfect record in her head, spinning, spinning, spinning. She could even fathom what Starrypaw felt. She remembered the cat to be rather rebellious and cheeky before her sister died.

It was sad, to see life leave so quickly. But, she was glad to hear Starrypaw had some sort of support group, even if she had trust issues. Owlstar grinned at Rowanmane. "How could I say no? Don't see why ya wouldn't be fit ta mentor 'er."

Pikekit was doing some serious exploring, this was the leader’s den right? It looked different from the others. His head peeked around the corner, eyes wide, it sure was a lotta space. The nursery seemed rather cramped in comparison.

His paws silently moved forward step by step, a little in awe.

The small pitter patter of paws was what filled her ears today, prompting the she-cat to sit up from her mossbed and straighten from a lay to a sit, her one eyed gaze trained onto the spotted kit. Ah, this was Rowanmane's kin, Pikekit, right? The leader blinked, watching as the small cat took in their surroundings, likely drinking in the size of her den.

"Aye chap." Owlstar called out to them, giving a small tilt of her scarred head. "Whatcha doin' so far away from the nursery, eh?" she teased, her tone lighter than it usually was. It always nice to see kits wander into her den, seemingly unafraid of her and her gnarly appearance. Plus, she just loved kits, regardless of whatever antics they spurred into.

Primroseadder approached the entrance to Owlstar's den, her pawsteps wobbly due to her swollen belly. The queen ducked her head low to look inside and make sure that Owlstar was in there. When she spotted the leader's light brown pelt, she called inside. ''Owlstar? May I come in? I wanted ta talk ta ya 'bout another warrior takin' on Flickerpaw for a little bit, since 'm expectin' kits.''

Owlstar perked at the sound of Primroseadder's voice, finding her words rather interesting. Kits? Wow, that was new. "Jeepers, congratulations lassy." Owlstar purred before piping up her voice to call in the expecting she-cat. "C'mon in."

Wildkit had woken up that morning with a memory. A memory that had seemed so distant a few moons ago, but now seemed like it was happening over and over. The funny thing about it was, he didn't ever remember it. This was the first time. The small tom yawned, his eyes gleaming with determination. He finally realized what his dream had been about, exactly one moon ago. His father? Was he in trouble? That was what his dream was hinting at. He thought about sharing it with Twigkit, but she would probably tell him it was just a dream. Owlstar would be different, though. Right? Wildkit stood up, shaking his legs loose. He made his way confidently to Owlstar's den, his head high. He had never been in here before, and his jaw dropped as he entered. Woah. He had expected it to be much fancier, with pebbles and prey and shiny stuff. But it was a regular den, just with a lot more space. Definitely not what he had expected, but cool. The kit pulled his mouth back shut, and looked up at his leader. Owlstar! Owlstar! He exclaimed, ducking his head.

Owlstar hadn't expected such an adorable ruckus.

The tabby perked up from where she was, not in her mossbed, but rather eating a small seagull she'd gotten from the freshkill pile, her muzzle and paws tinged with crimson as she ate away and pulled at feathers. She cleaned off whatever feathers kept their sheen and form and placed the to the side, planning to decorate her space with them later.

Plus, she was also planning on decapitating the bird and skinning it, keeping it's skull and spine. She'd never forgotten how fun bones were, so she was pleasently excited to get to that part. She was so wrapped up in chewing and sorting, she nearly didn't hear Wildkit. The tabby looked to the smaller cat and gingerly licked away the blood of her meal, making her look less manic (not like she was in the first place). The last thing she wanted was to scare away the young cat.

"Ah, ya called?" Of course he did, but she was just teasing. "What's eatin' ya, eh?"
