She wasn't running around, giddy and cheerful, she had gloom in her demeanor even as she greeted her friend. "Oh I'm just... hanging around, I guess. I want to hunt but... I guess my mentor is too busy again." At the mention of a walk and Goldenstar's warm and welcoming smile, Nightpaw gave a one back. "Sure. It'll be good to stretch my legs." Nightpaw felt just the slightest bit better just walking with Goldenstar. This was the reason she had decided to join Shadowclan after all, because of the friends she had made here, because she liked the idea of being part of a big community. But now she was feeling just as much like a visitor as she did while staying hidden in the medicine den. Back in Shadowclan.

Goldenstar had sort of noticed how Nightpaw seemed a little off. He couldn’t help but wonder what was making Nightpaw...not Nightpaw. Maybe he could find that out during their small walk. “We could hunt as well, if you would want to,” he added, hearing how Nightpaw wanted to hunt. “So...” he started off what he wanted to say awkwardly first, unsure what to say. “What do you think of Shadowclan, now that you’re a part of the clan?” He asked. He knew that Riverclan wasn’t exactly like Shadowclan, but he wasn’t going to complain. Riverclan had been nice enough to let Shadowclan stay in their camp, so it didn’t exactly seem nice to diss them about it. Sure, he didn’t exactly like it, but it was all about being greatful, as Starclan knew where they would have gone if Halestar hadn’t talked to Russetstar. He knew that Halestar said that Riverclan wasn’t to be trusted, and that made him laugh. Riverclan had been nice enough to let them in, and as far as he knew, no one had gotten murdered by a Riverclan or Shadowclan cat currently, so everything was good. It made him wonder why Halestar had said that, but he really shouldn’t be worrying about that, Halestar was gone, and he was leader. Not that he really felt ready yet, but still, it had happened, and he couldn’t really change anything now, just waiting for Nightpaw to answer his first question for the time being.
