Notes: Name change and asking for a new mentor! ——————
★ Doepaw was pacing outside the leaders den, trying to form her question. She had two things to ask the great leader of Thunderclan. Finally deciding to speak, she hesitantly peaks her head in, only to pull it back out. “Miss Bumblestar? I… I have a few questions… M…May I come in-? If it’s a bad time, I can come back some other time- what I need to say isn’t really that important-“ she didn’t know why she was struggling to speak to her leader, but she was. The freakishly tall apprentice waited for a response or a welcome in.

''Didn't know what you liked, so I just caught somethin' for ya,'' Silverleopard meowed, shouldering her way into the den and setting the vole down at her leader's paws. ''If it isn't a problem with you, I would like to request that you reassign Fleapaw to another warrior. He is refusin' to cooperate with me, and he and Fireflypaw practically ganged up on me in the clearin' just now whenever I tried to take him out huntin'.''
''Personally, I don't think he wants to become a warrior at all, Bumblestar. Whenever I took him out for his territory tour, I purposely stopped a few fox-lengths away from the scent line at Herondive Hollow to ensure his safety. You and I both know that Dawnstar's warriors can be vicious. Fleapaw got upset and started throwin' a hissy fit. I told him that we wouldn't move until he straightened up, and he never did, so I took him to Spiderthroat.''
''I figured that takin' him to his father would do somethin', but Spiderthroat didn't do nothin' about it,'' She sat back and wrapped her tail around her paws. ''I apologize if I seem like I'm givin' up on him, but I don't want to train a cat who refuses to cooperate with me. Poppypaw is younger than Fleapaw and she's not givin' Cormorantswoop any problems.''
Little else sent Bumblestar into a rage like hearing Foxstep's name did. When he had vanished, she had hoped it would be the end of him. Apparently she was wrong, because now, several moons later, he had reappeared again, and right on her border. She stared at Treetiger for a long moment, jaw working silently as she dug her claws into the bark of the den floor.
"...I want you to round up a patrol, go back out there, track his scent down, 'n kill him if you can find him," she said slowly, tone cold. "I don't want him near my borders. I don't want him in any of the four Clans. I don't want him to have the chance to weasel his way back into an easier life. Take three other cats. Find him, kill him, 'n drag the body back so that I can see it for myself."
"...track his scent down, 'n kill him..."
kill him.
Kill.
KILL.
Treetiger hyper-fixated on that word. It was like a switch went off in her brain, and for once, those eyes blinked. When they opened back, a seething rage struggled to break through the hardened one as it rested on Bumblestar. She'd been given permission to kill. Was it a specific cat only? Yes. But that's now how her brain worked, no. Her brain took the rest of that statement and sent it out her other ear. All those negative feelings she had for the leader were left in the dirt in that moment. It never mattered.
KILL.
She'd dip her head once, "Right away," before turning and exiting the den. She'd be back soon with a report. If she couldn't find Foxstep.. maybe she'd skin a loner to appease the leader.
''Didn't know what you liked, so I just caught somethin' for ya,'' Silverleopard meowed, shouldering her way into the den and setting the vole down at her leader's paws. ''If it isn't a problem with you, I would like to request that you reassign Fleapaw to another warrior. He is refusin' to cooperate with me, and he and Fireflypaw practically ganged up on me in the clearin' just now whenever I tried to take him out huntin'.''

Poppypaw is younger than Fleapaw and she's not givin' Cormorantswoop any problems.''
The longer Silverleopard went on, the more Bumblestar's brows drew together in a scowl. Seriously? This was the issue to be had? The vole went ignored aside from a brief glance. There were cats who wanted it more than she did, she was sure.
"If Spiderthroat didn't see fit to take action, then 'm assumin' there wasn't any action that needed to be taken." She sat up fully, kneading her nest with her claws. "'N unless Fleapaw himself comes t'me about a reassignment, 'm not movin' him. He's your apprentice. His disobedience is your problem to handle. Figure out how to work with him without shoulderin' him off to some other warrior."

Silverleopard's eyes narrowed. Fleapaw wasn't cooperating! What else was she supposed to do. ''Fine. I'll figure somethin' out,'' She grunted, leaving the vole for the ThunderClan Leader as she exited the den.
The kitten bounded without a care into the den of one Bumblestar, after all! Bumblestar defended Rosekit from that meanie exiled warrior and that meant that Bumblestar must like Rosekit soooooo much! And the kitten had some super important stuff to say, like how she exiled Ashpaw before they were exiled by the leader and that Dragonflycliff and Nettlepaw should be exiled too because they were also talking about the ghost and the ghost was bad and that meant they were bad! Yeah!
"Bumblestarrrrr!!" Rosekit looked around the space while calling out the leader's name, social interaction feared Rosekit, not the other way around. "I just wanted to say that the way you exiled Ashpaw was so cool! But I exiled her first like a whole moon ago when they were being rude to Mountaintalon about the SAME ghost! I also exiled Nettlepaw and... I quess I didn't exile Dragonflycliff but she was there with that mean old traitor, Echobarley." The words ended with a huff as the kitten kicked at the ground beneath her paws. Echobarley was so mean.
Fleapaw never gone near the leader's den. Even more so after the whole sickness thing. It was nice to peer in and see what den his father was eventually going to take. Then again his father would be old and decrepit so maybe it would be someone else. "Hey! Uh..." Fleapaw shouted for a moment before pulling himself back. Oops. One of these days he would learn volume control, hopefully Bumbles wouldn't be mad. "Bumblestar can I talk to you please?"

"Bumblestar!"
The large tom called into the den, tail swishing behind him. "I was just coming to let you that Hickorysmoke has returned," Raggedear snorted. "Captured by some twolegs, but I believe he had the real resolve to come back."
the head hornet dipped his head in Bumblestar. he meowed walking in further making sure birdkit was behind him Caught birdkit sneaking out of the camp he was lucky I found him before he got hurt he said asking a seat down and waiting for the leaders response
@Johrog @dino.
Birdkit 1 moon
Birdkit saw the leader of the clan he had never been in his nest. It felt scary to be here maybe he was going to get a bad punishment. @Dino @Spider
