After having ushered Whitekit out of the den, the rest of the day had gone rather smoothly. The sun had faded into the darkening sky and an almost full moon started to take its place. With a little sun-high nap under his paws Kestrelstar wasn't feeling too tired, and instead was muttering to himself. He had a few cats in mind that he wanted to speak to in regards to the Shields rank he had announced the last meeting - the only thing left was to get Splashleap's input on it.

A voice at the entrance of his den startled him a bit. It was late, the rest of the Clan should be asleep. Recognizing it to be Graytail, Kestrelstar nodded to the queen, yellow eyes flashing in curiosity. "Graytail. I hope you're settling in well. What did you want to talk to me about?" the leader questioned, wondering if this would be a short conversation or on the longer side. There was much to do, and he still needed to find time to sleep himself. But for now, he settled back onto his haunches as he waited to see what Graytail wished to speak of.

"It's just," she looked at Kestrelstar "Everything has changed, you're leader now, my mate went missing. I'm expecting kits....." So much.... "I just can't cope with it all, you know me, I'm a shy cat, I don't like what's happening, it's too much for me."

So, a long conversation. Kestrelstar suppressed a soft sigh as yellow eyes watched unblinking. Truth be told he hadn't really talked much - or at all - with his former mentor after his training. He couldn't remember what her reaction had been after his mother's death, but the only cats he recalled doing anything about it were Stormtalon and Lionstorm - then Lionstar. It wasn't necessarily her fault, but Kestrelstar knew he had pushed a lot of other cats away during that time. Maybe she had been one of them.

"Yes, a lot has changed," the leader repeated, jaws parting in a massive yawn as one of his ears gave a flick. "Well, if it's too much for you then why did you come back?" A blunt question, but it was late, and Kestrelstar was tired. Returning his yellow eyes to watch her, another sigh left him. "Graytail, adjusting back into Clan life after being gone might be hard, I understand that. But you were a warrior for much longer than you were outside of the Clans - cats come and go all the time. If I got worked up over every cat that went missing I'd have no time to actually run the Clan."

Graytail nodded, "True, I came back because Riverclan means everything to me, I mean it, I just wish th-that Riverpad was still here, I loved him, and now he's gone, so, almost everything I knew is gone, I don't care now, I'm bringing more warriors into the clan." she glanced at her belly, slightly swollen with kits.

daisybird nodded, "it is great to hear." definitely better than the misfortunes she'd been suffering from lately. she hoped that this was a turn around of sorts in her life. maybe one of the best things to happen in awhile, she added on mentally..of course, kestrelstar coming back was nice too, but there was a huge difference between that and her kit literally being revived.

the half smile formed into a full smile hearing the tabby's response, which earned him a thankful nod. "it won't be a problem for me, not a bit." the queen replied, sounding more than sure that she could handle the job. "thank you, kestrelstar..really." she commented, a bit lowly, before making her way out of the den.

-->Petuniapaw

After being brought back to camp by her father and friend Petuniapaw had to go see if he was actually there. They had told her that he had returned, but she had to see for herself. Petuniapaw limped into the leader's den. Sure she should have gone to the medicine cat, but she needed to come here first. Her leg wasn't that injured. It was a scratch that wasn't at all deep. Plus from the last time she had been in the medicine den she had been able to clean it and apply cobwebs the day she got it.

Petuniapaw looked around, spotting the tom. She would have moved further in, but her leg couldn't take anymore. "Your back! It's really good that you are here. You don't know how long I was looking for you.", she meowed. She padded forward but winced at the pain of her leg. She tried to hide the fact that it hurt. She didn't want to seem weak not when she wanted to prove to him how great of a warrior she would be.

Ah yes, the kits. As Kestrelstar let out a small puff of air, he contemplated new life coming into the Clan. Leaf-fall was settled in, and soon enough leaf-bare would be nipping at it's heels. This would be his first as RiverClan's leader, and something about it seemed foreboding almost. A shadow he couldn't quite squint far enough into to see the light on the other side.

"I'm certain that wherever Riverpad is, he would want what's best for you and your kits," the leader finally responded after a moment, tipping his head to the side just a bit. "If you need any help when the time comes, Daisybird was just made a forever queen and will be staying in the nursery permanently to help with any kits that may come."

Shifting around in his nest, Kestrelstar's ears popped up at the sudden voice at the entrance. It was one he had been expecting - Blizzardsky's kit couldn't be missing for too long before the white-furred warrior tore apart the entire territory until he found her. Now that she was back, and safe, the leader felt a bit of relief. That was one less cat missing.

"Petuniapaw," the leader answered, giving her a nod as yellow eyes went to her leg. Snakeheart should've checked that first, and a crease of worry came over his face. "Yes, I've been back for about half a moon now. I saw the present you left me in my den, and wanted to say... thank you." The gray tabby didn't know why that had been so hard, why his throat felt constricted saying it. Nonetheless, he nodded at her leg. "You should have Snakeheart look you over - we don't want that to get infected with leaf-bare only moons away."

Having slipped back inside after a rather busy day out in the territory, Kestrelstar was ready to lay down on the dusty den floor and finally take a bite out of the trout he had been carrying. The scent made his mouth water, and as the leader dropped the prey at his paws and settled down, he swiped his tongue over his maw in anticipation.

Mid-way through opening his jaws, a voice sounded at the entrance of the den, and his ears went back. Who needed him now? "Come in," he called, crossing his paws over the other as he waited for the apprentice to come inside.

Bramblepaw walked in. "UM Kestrelstar I have a question." he meowed looking at his paw. "My mentor doesn't train me I was wondering if I could have a new one?" he meowed

-->Petuniapaw

Wow so she had been out almost a whole mooon. She hadn't meant to be gone that long. Her and her traveling companion had gotten side tracked when those rogues decided to attack them. She would never forget that day. That day was the day she decided she wanted to be a Riverclan warrior.

"Oh you saw it.", she meowed. She had kind of forgot that she had dropped it off while he was missing. It now all came back to her. Of course! The molly was a bit surprised at the thanks though, but didn't want yo mention it. It was a bit awkward.

Petuniapaw loomed at her leg. Was it that bad? She didn't think it was which is why she was here instead of there. Snakeheart scared her a little. "Oh I was just about to head over there. I just needed to talk to you first about a cat.", she meowed. It was really important to her.
