When Blazingstar had assigned him to Larkpaw, he had beamed so wide he thought his muzzle might fall off. He was apprehensive at first, because Larkpaw seemed so independent already, but the confidence in her that seemed to bring out something better in himself.

When Gorsebird stopped mid-sentence, the warrior whipped his head up to see what was the matter. At the sight of her pained face, Harrierclaw scrambled to his paws.
"Mom?! What's wrong, where are you hurt?"

"I..I it's oww.." Gorsebird whimpered, as another spasm went through her body. She hoped it didn't have to with the kits. Gorsebird had hardly been expecting for half-moon and to suffer a miscarriage so early would seem like a horrible fluke. In an effort to ease the pain, she unsheathed her claws and plunged them into the frozen earth but, it was to no avail.
