[BEAR.]

With her permission, Firehawk led Bella to RiverClan's camp. "I'm sure you'll like it here," he told her as they passed through the entrance. "Clan traditions are.. definitely weird, but you'll get used to it!"

Stopping not far from the entrance, he called: "Lionstar!"

In a flash, the golden tabby was upon them-- distrustful eyes focused on Firehawk before they swapped to Bella. And in that instance, the annoyance Lionstar seemed to bare melted into a warm smile not meant for his adoptive father. Firehawk would've been a liar if he ever said it didn't hurt to be.. disowned and disregarded by one of his kits.

"Ah, I wasn't expecting a visitor! What brings you to RiverClan?"
