"You are dismissed, Ripplestep." He was pleased she seemed to realize her distasteful mistake, and he was willing to let her off today-- hopefully a little wiser. [ @mochi ]

Now, his attention was fully on Dirtfur but so far he could hardly care. "So remove the kit from the nursery and have it be quarantined in the medicine cat den. Shiverpetal might not be the most skilled at healing, but it'll stop the spread of the illness if it's contagious." An obvious choice..

But it seems, Dirtfur as deputy was something he should reconsider given the sudden attitude. Lionstar hadn't even been sitting-- was this guy that daft? He was only in his den when it was time for patrols to report back or he needed to speak with cats privately. "Get out of my sight." His voice had taken on a sudden coldness, devoid of any emotion beyond a chilling calmness. "Now."

Apologetic or not, that behavior would not be tolerated.
