There had been a lot of controversy over past leaders, and he had no doubt there would be controversy over future leaders. "We'll survive, though. Like we always do." ShadowClan had survived worse, and they would continue to survive worse. At the least, they weren't hosting another Clan like RiverClan was. Smokestorm wasn't sure he would've survived all those cats in one place.

"You have a point," He mewed, to her suggestion that he should go out hunting with her again. They could drop the rabbit off, and that way, they'd also get to spend more time together. Smokestorm was glad; he liked Fairthorn, and it was always nice to spend his time with a well-behaved clanmate. There were cats in the Clan who treated him badly (the same was true of everyone, though, he was sure), so spending time with one who didn't was always welcomed.

Her next words, however, caught him off guard. "I - well, I guess I could - that is to say -" He spluttered, trying to get his thoughts in order before he cleared his throat, fur heating to an uncomfortable temperature as he glanced down at the ground. "Um, yes. I'll make sure you stay in line." Awkward did not begin to describe how Smokestorm felt at this moment.

At his stuttering, Fairthorn merely laughed. It was funny how easy it was to make him feel awkward-- and she hadn't even intended to do that. Maybe she could help with that? "Good!" she replied, smirking as she scooped up the rabbit once again. Her nose crinkled in slight disgust as the rabbit fur moistened in her mouth; she never liked that feeling. That was also why she disliked sharing tongues.. among other things.

She turned in the direction of the camp, taking in the autumn-y woods for a heartbeat before looking over her shoulder at Smokestorm. "Ready?"

[ Sorry for the wait and extreme shortness!! Would you like to do a time-skip to the hunt? Or would you like to rp the whole "journey", haha? ]
