Sootflare

Sootflare soon returned, a bit of hesitance in his gait as he made his way back the border but otherwise prepared for whatever Lionstar was about to throw at him. A new day, a new scheme, it seemed. As much as Lionstar insisted that Soot was a 'dad', he seemed to trust him to get things done, whatever that was worth. He'd have to realize sooner or later that dads were useful for something. The smell of WindClan never really left his nose, the scent itself clinging to his own pelt after spending days there, but it hit his nostrils again as he neared the border and a new wave of exhaustion rolled over the tom at just the thought of the territory. All the same, he continued on.

"What's the task of the day, then?" he meowed, hoping to ease some of the tension in the air by directing the attention of the two felines to himself.
