The first question made Berryshine's face fall a bit, but she kept a faint, almost pained smile. Like she was acknowledging the disruption from StarClan, but remaining positive.

"Y-Yes... at least, I think so. Between us and our ancestors, we'll w-work out the problem soon," the medic mused, a flicker of doubt in her chest. What if they couldn't...? She'd swallow it down for now, meeting Nightkit's curious gaze. "I've spoken to a few of our ancestors myself, a-and I know how devoted they are to us and our Clan. We just n-need to keep up hope."

Then, the question about the other medicine cats; Berryshine shook her head, looking a bit more at ease once the topic about StarClan passed. "N-No, we don't get in trouble for being friendly with them... as long as we're not betraying RiverClan by spreading secrets or anything, o-of course. But medicine cat relationships can exist outside of ordinary Clan rivalries... t-though it just depends on who the others are, of course." Sleepysunrise crossed her mind, but Berry decided not to dwell on the dark-pelted ShadowClan medic at the moment.

That last sentence was incredibly mature for her age, and Berryshine's eyes widened a tad before nodding. "Ah... y-yes, you're right. That's some good insight," she praised, flicking her tail in agreement. "Just like Owlstar with being leader, o-or Sunheart with being deputy... it's a lot to carry on your shoulders. But you're also s-serving the Clan in a unique way... and it can be very rewarding."
