Lionstar was getting sick of ThunderClan.

At first, it was fine. A few days of rest went a long ways toward recovery. But it had almost been A HALF MOON and they were still there. Sitting at HIS pond and STINKING THE PLACE UP. It hardly looked like they were doing anything either!

Lionstar knew, though.. that it wasn't the Clan's fault for not doing anything.. not really? It was the LEADERSHIP. Disorganized, dysfunctional, CARELESS.

Ugh, just thinking about it made him ANGRIER. HE HATED SQUATTERS.

A. HALF. MOON.

But no, no, no. As much as Lionstar wanted to go in and start kicking cats out, he determined perhaps it'd be best for ThunderClan to hear from someone else. So instead of giving into his temptations, he sank his claws into the ground and held his tongue. He had an idea..

"Sootflare!" he called for his deputy, not waiting to continue. "I want you to go to Cattail Pond. Find that gray tabby tom.. I don't know his name [ Rainywhisker, @/implimm], the orange eyed cat who helped bring some of the injured into our camp.

"Since Duskstar is gone and her deputy is Stars-know-where, I want him to pull ThunderClan out of our territory. I don't care if it's just across the border. I want them out of our markers. They've been sitting on their asses without doing anything to improve their situation for almost a half moon, and I'm not going to pander to this behavior. And I don't want you to, either. We have a Clan to feed and look after.. we don't need them lounging around our land." He didn't give two rats if Duskstar and Softbriar had to struggle with finding their Clan-mates. They should have picked up the slack as soon as their Clan needed them, not rely on another Clan.

They weren't allies. Lionstar had done this out of kindness alone and his distaste for those who didn't want to help themselves made him less inclined to offer them assistance in the future. "Get going," he growled. "If they give you problems we can drive them out the "hard" way." He didn't want to do that, but would if necessary. ThunderClan had done nothing to make him want them to stay.

"Oh, and one last thing. When they're gone, round up the kits, apprentices, and any warrior willing to lend a paw. I want you to do another swimming lesson for the younger cats of the Clan so they can be more equipped for the future. The more our Clan knows how to swim, the better.." If they could get the queens in on this, perhaps.. they could be the ones to train the kits in the future. Would it be possible to dig out a basin in camp for kit swimming practice? Interesting.. perhaps he'd look into that while Sootflare was handling the children.
