Buckstar's eyes tracked Cormorantglide across the den with giddy amusement, and he laughed. "Soon, huh? How about after the next Gathering? We can do it with whatever you choose, as long as it isn't dangerous. Just let me know when you want to get it started, huh?"

Buckstar winced and shuffled back several steps. Already these kids were tiring him out. "Sorry, kiddo, that's not going to happen," he addressed Kestrelkit. "Leaders need to be big and strong, and you're pretty small." He gave the kit a teasing grin. Then, to Sparrowkit, he said "Absolutely not,but thank you for the idea. Actually- you know what, why not? I'll give you your own little brigade of kits to look after, how's that- Wrenkit!" He cut himself off and hurried over to the other tiny kit, and peered sternly down at him. "No, you're not going to be deputy, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't mess with my nest, please."

As soon as the scent of ShadowClan touched his nose, Buckstar was on his feet, adopting an imposing posture and standing in the middle of the den. He glared down at Blizzardpaw for several silent seconds, then turned to Dawnfern with a dangerous glint in his gaze. "Why is there a ShadowClan apprentice in my den?"
