"Oh, please!" Lionstar had to chuckle at Coyotesmile's attempt to deflect the compliments, a low purr in his throat. "Strapping indeed! My eyes work quite well, and I think you ought to know that you're incredibly stunning." Another smooch aimed for his muzzle. Lionstar didn't care about Coyotesmile's injury: he thought it added to his charm, actually.

Ah, ShadowClan! Of course. He probably should have known that would be what this is about, but he was more than happy to help his moor buddies out. Brindlejaw resigned? Replaced by the medicine cat? This was juicy and Lionstar was living for it, a little prance to his paws as he circled around Coyotesmile excitedly. "Look at you, working your way up! At this rate, you'll be leader in no time." It was light, crisp with a non-seriousness because he didn't think Coyotesmile was going for a sweep of WindClan's high ranks. Although, he was in a great spot to do that. "Congratulations, sugar. WindClan's going to flourish under you two." He didn't really have a high opinion of block-head, the cat before Coyotesmile. Seemed dim-witted and kind of useless.. not someone Lionstar would stick around for long.

"So this ShadowClan problem.." he questioned, voice dropping an octave to lower it to almost a whisper. "Are you planning on taking Icebrains out back for some tussling, or are you going to play your stones and see what she does overtime?" His own approach was simple: BEAT THEM UP! and his paws itched to do so, but this unfortunately wasn't his fight. "I kinda, you know, want to see what you guys are planning before I chuck my Pinefawn your way."
