Make sure to congratulate Versailles on their promotion from c-mod in training to fully fledged chat moderator! They've worked very hard, and we can't wait to see where they go from here!
Rosepaw's was still slightly seething at the suggestion of someone important to her once more disappearing, but with Dustkit's explanation even she had to calm herself down. It was just a hypothetical, it was something that she would ask as well, it is a curious thought after all. She sat back on her haunches and her tail was wrapped tight around her front paws to keep it from further lashing. "I shouldn't have gotten upset, you were asking a question. I just, don't like the implications of that question." She looked away briefly, before returning her gaze to Dustkit.
"Bumblestar, as well as our other high ranks have proven themselves stable and dedicated to the clan. It isn't likely they would disappear without us knowing how they disappeared. Bumblestar told me herself that she won't ever leave Thunderclan, not like her predecessors did."
Dustkit relaxed slightly, the tension easing from his small frame as Rosepaw calmed down. He gave her a sheepish look.
“I didn’t mean to make you mad again... but, um, I didn’t know that about Bumblestar. She really said that?”
He tilted his head, trying to understand the weight of her words. “I guess that’s good. But… if it happened, how would we even know? I mean, wouldn’t it be hard to find out if no one knew where they were?”
He shuffled his paws nervously. “I just wanna be ready, you know?”

"I'm glad you're doing good!" Butterflypaw said cheerfully "Well, besides the mentor thing, that's gotta be annoying. Maybe dad could help you with that, once he's back!"
Oh, right, Wasp asked how Butterflypaw was too. "Pretty good!" She answered. She was good, of course. Duh, a little worried about their dad and the whole otter patrol(mostly their dad and Ms Bumble), but nothing bad could possibly happen to such tough cats, right?
It's now got her wondering what an otter even looks like.
Anyway, enough thinking about that, they'll be fine. "Who is your mentor?" She wanted to know who wasn't teaching one of her super cool siblings.
Wasppaw genuinely blanked at the question. Completely! Who was her mentor? Goes to show how good they were of one and she couldn't even properly recall who they were. The feline tapped her paw against the ground a couple of times, flicking her eyes up to the sky as she tried to recall the information. "Uhhhh... an Alder something I think? I haven't seen them in mooooooons. They probably went missing or something." Wasppaw scowled a bit as she thought about how she was falling behind because of it.
"I'm definitely going to get dad to train me once he's done ripping those otters apart! Maybe dad will knock some sense into Alder-whatever if they're still around." Wasppaw laughed a little at the thought.
Dustkit relaxed slightly, the tension easing from his small frame as Rosepaw calmed down. He gave her a sheepish look.
“I didn’t mean to make you mad again... but, um, I didn’t know that about Bumblestar. She really said that?”

He shuffled his paws nervously. “I just wanna be ready, you know?”
"Of course she said that! Why, she's probably one of the best Thunderclan leaders of all time!" Rosepaw boasted, as though she was the one who achieved what Bumblestar did, but it was just her way of looking up and idolizing the leader. "Didn't you know that in just my time, Bumblestar has eliminated all sorts of threats from Thunderclan, with barely any effort." Rosepaw stood a little taller, looking at the kitten, likely assuming that he, in fact, did not know that.
"It was first a former Shadowclan cat that was accepted into our ranks. One day a evil spirit was in camp, and Bumblestar was making it leave, but then Ash- or Ashpaw then- had tried to defend the spirit, yelling back at Bumblestar." Rosepaw bristled her fur at the thought of Ash, it reminded her of Nettlescratch and their apology. "But then Bumblestar didn't falter and exiled Ash and got rid of the spirit in mere seconds!"
Though at the kit's stubborness, Rosepaw sighed, what was making the kit feel like he had to be prepared for if his leader and high ranks went missing. That just didn't make sense, and that was coming from Rosepaw, the daughter of an exiled medicine cat. "I mean, the clan can't wait for them. That's just how it works, at least, based on what I know. If there's nothing there, then new leadership would be founded and Thunderclan would persist despite the loss."

Dustkit’s tail flicked nervously as Rosepaw spoke about Bumblestar’s strength, but something about her words made him even more curious. He padded closer, his small paws digging into the dirt as he tried to make sense of it all.
“But... what if something did happen to her, or any of the high ranks? How would we even know what to do if something went wrong?” Dustkit’s voice grew more intense as his thoughts tumbled out. “Would the clan just... figure it out? Is that really how it works?”
His eyes brightened with determination. “I think we should be ready for anything! Even if we don’t think it’ll happen, it could.”
With a burst of energy, Dustkit crouched low, preparing to spring forward as if testing his readiness. “I could learn things that would help. I will learn.”

-ˏˋ His ear flickered a few times, hearing a almost back and forth between a kit...and he believed a apprentice. so he yawned and got up, padding out of the warriors den and into the clearing. his good eye landed on the pair, rosepaw from what he remembers and duskkit...or...dustkit...whichever it was, he began to pad over "now you know you shouldn't be bothering rosepaw" he meowed gruffly, the older Tom stopping a few paw steps away. "she's got to go train, becoming a warrior" he grumbled a bit. "what is it you two talking about anyways...?" he asked after he stopped by the kit to look him over...oh why were kits even out of the nursery...shouldn't his mother be watching him? did he...have one? ugh...queens. ˊˎ

Dustkit looked up quickly as Nightwatcher approached, his ears angling back slightly in instinctive respect. He stayed where he was, trying to sound more confident than he felt.
“Oh—Nightwatcher! I’m sorry, we didn’t mean to distract Rosepaw.”
“I was just asking Rosepaw how to be ready if anything ever went wrong in ThunderClan… like learning what to do, even if it’s pretend for now.”
“Rosepaw was going to show me some things—would you… um, would you mind helping too? I know you’re about to train, but maybe you could give me a quick tip before you go? I really want to learn.”

Her eyes narrowed onto the warrior as he approached the pair of them, requesting on her behalf that Dustkit leave her alone. Which she didn't really like, Rosepaw was perfectly capable of sending the kit away should she want that, and she certainly didn't need any stranger warrior thinking that he could talk for her. "Thank you, Nightwatcher, but I can speak perfectly fine for myself." Rosepaw aimed for politeness, and quickly focused on the rest of the warrior's words, "Dustkit is convinced that something is going to happen Bumblestar and the high ranks to make them disappear and wants to know what happens then. I was telling him that Thunderclan could only persist if there was no clear answer to what happened, but that's a huge if. Bumblestar isn't going anywhere."

-ˏˋ his eyes unevenly narrowed as he listened to both of the youngins and he slowly nods "ah...I must have seen it as wrong, sorry for butting in." he cant help but Murrow with laughter "now now, if they were to Disappear then we would have a problem" he meows as he sits down and pulls dustkit over towards him. "but Thunderclan is strong, I doubt we have trouble at all, but aside from all this negative talk." he rasped his tongue over dustkits fur, finding it messy, the kit needed a groom...ugh...where w a s his mother? "dustkit, do ya mama know your out here?" he asked as he finished grooming the kit, he stood up and yawned before looking at rosepaw "you did a good job tellin that too, that would be a Big If." ˊˎ
