'Had Grousestar been thinking about how to fix the tensions between their clans the whole time?' he asked himself. Fallenstar didn't even think about it, he just let them annoy and detest one another. After all Riverclan had a reason to.
"I'll listen...but the second it becomes something I don't like, or something that wouldn't help Riverclan just as much as it would Skyclan I'm shooting it down." he said promptly, making it very clear that he didn't want any more chaotic messes like the one outside his den, in his camp, to be more percise. Or would it now be considered their camp? The thought made the leader bristle.

Was it so strange to feel excited at this age? To Grousestar, the answer would be a simple no. He was a young cat at heart, and though he had been through hell and back, he still held, deep down inside of him, his old personality. He missed being able to feel excited like this, missed the lighthearted happiness that filled him like a warm greenleaf breeze. He missed the simpleness of an evening chat with clanmembers, telling each other about their days over a nice piece of prey. Perhaps Fallenstar didn't know that happiness, even so, that was okay. Maybe even he could learn excitement and joy one day.
A bright smile touched the older toms lips, his head nodding in agreement at Fallenstar's terms. "I understand. I wouldn't have come to you with the idea if I didn't think it beneficial for both of our clans." Clearing his throat, Grousestar fixed his posture to appear a bit more professional as he began his spiel.
"I was thinking of getting together a social event, well, a 'prey social' event. In short, I want to organize a day in which we'll send out quite a few dawn hunting patrols, mixed with members of both of our clans, to collect as much prey as possible as greenleaf comes to a close. Give them till about sunhigh to come back, and then assign cats social partners. Say two Skyclan and two Riverclan cats to a group. They get their prey, sit down together, and socialize. It gives them a chance to talk with each other, learn about each other, and hopefully.. Well, make peace with each other. Since this move is permanent, I thought it would be ideal if we could, for the most part, get along. To make this easier on you, me and Frostflight will do most of the planning, unless you'd like to be part of the process as well."
