Sootstar retreated from older tom's touch, instead shaking his head and away with it the feeling of dread clawing at his throat.

"I appreciate the assurances, Firehawk, but it would do you best not to waste your breath." he replied, not meeting his gaze as he gathered himself together again, "You were a queen's before, yes? Do you intend to return to the same role or would you wish to return to the life of a warrior?"

"That's... it? You like water? You want to be helpful? Tell me, Fierceclaw, how does this benefit you? What reason do you have, after living as a loner, to want to 'help out a clan', as you put it?"

The rest of the group didn't seem keen on stepping forward after Petuniapaw's plea and so he focused on her and her alone for the time being. It seemed she regretted her choices, understood the weight of her actions, and truly wished to return home, "Very well them. Go and find yourself a nest. I'll see about assigning you a new mentor at the next meeting. For now, get yourself reacquainted with your clanmates."

"As for you two," He continued, turning to Wolfpaw and Eagleflower, "Do you have nothing to say for yourselves?"
