"I'm afraid being a mute won't get you out of this so easily. You're trespassing. You wander into my camp expecting... what? hospitality? Find a way to explain yourself before I have to chase you out of here."

[ @Dovey ]

Sootstar wrinkled his nose at the rotten prey. Gross. How had it been sitting around in camp for long enough to get maggots and who in their right mind would take it to the nursery? The stench alone was enough to send a grown warrior running.

"I'll be sure to have it disposed of. Do you know who may have brought it to the nursery?" If the warriors were stupid enough to chow down on rotten prey, they could very well go puke their guts out and get back to work - Sootstar didn't care. They would surely learn their lesson. But to try and feed it to the kits? That was punishable.

"And I'll be sure to speak to Foxpaw and the kits when I have the time. Is that all?"

That was... a parade and a half of cats now marching through the camp entrance. All familiar faces, if a bit vague. Immediately Sootstar set to searching for Lionstorm - this reeked of the golden tom - and soon was face to face with the lanky man.

"Yes, I clearly have. That's quite a haul." He quickly glanced over the group and, with everyone shuffling about, it was hard to get an exact count but he guessed 10ish, give or take, "You've spoken with all of them then? All their stories check out?"

"Well, I wouldn't have brought their sad asses back if I thought there was something shady going on with where they've been." It might seem harsh, but Lionstorm wasn't a fan of liars or ne'er-do-wells. He would have left them to the crows. "A couple seem to have injured paws, I told them to go to the medicine cat den but it might be worth making sure they do." Who was it.. Rainydawn and Shimmeringpool, maybe? He couldn't quite remember.

Hm... Afraid of being mute? So if I can't explain myself signing I won't be allowed. Silent pointed to himself, then paused. How do I say want... He made a heart in the ground, and then pointed around at the Riverclan cats. There... Silent was still standing, in case it took a ugly turn.

Her head lowered, weighed down with shame and hints of sadness, but there was a determined gleam in her eyes.

"I'll make sure it won't happen again Sootstar, I promise! I'll be even stronger and more focused than I was before, and I won't wander off on my own. Whatever kind of stupor I was in was terrified me and the thought of it still does, I just want to get back to my duties-" and to Minkfire"-as soon as possible. I want to make it up to my clan for being gone for so long."

dayheart glanced around uncertainly before catching sight of sootie and brightening up. “sootstar!” he exclaimed, smiling before he remembered what he was here for. “oh— yeah! so, uh, i found foxblaze wandering out in the territory, so i thought i’d bring her to you!” he glanced over at the missing clanmate he’d brung along, giving foxblaze a small smile.

Foxblaze stepped back for a moment, “S-Sootstar?!?! OH MY GOD SOITSTAR!!!!! YOU’RE A SOOTSTAR!!!!! PH MY STARCLAN!!!” She said jumpii in by up and down. She was just so darn proud of her former mentor. Wow. SOOTSTAR!

Sootstar

"Of course - I'd expect nothing less from you." He gave another cursory glance over the small group. He'd expect most of them to settle in again quick enough but, to be sure, he'd make time for some individual chats in the near future, "Alright. Is that all?"

[ @BILL. ]

- - - - -

Sootstar didn't quite understand the message at first. I... heart... clanmates? That didn't make much sense. I like RiverClan? I want RiverClan? I want-

"Do you want to join the clan?"

[ @Dovey ]

- - - - -

"Very well then. Get to work." There was no reason to give Koiripple a hard time, so with his words he gave a simple nod towards the rest of the clearing. She would be welcomed back into the clan now but if something like this ever happened again, her chances of being allowed to return were slim.

Sootstar glanced up as two familiar forms approached, offering a smile to Dayheart and a questioning glance in the direction of Foxblaze. Before he could open his mouth to respond to Dayheart's report, he was berated with Foxblaze's outburst.

"Right. Should've expected that." he muttered, cringing inward slightly before straightening up again, "Where have you been, Foxblaze?"

**BEAR.** · #18 November 22nd, 2020, 11:23 PM

"No." Lionstorm leaned in to Sootstar, closer and closer, closer. Just close enough to try to steal a peck before he dashed away with a snicker.

Silent nodded. He understood! He thought with a a happy feeling. Now let’s hope I’m allowed to join. Sikent had always liked swimming and fishing, so Riverclan would be good clan for him. He also had always wanted to join a clan. The happiness of helping clanmates, and defending them.

Foxblaze stopped bouncing and bowed her head. “I smelled a Shadowclanner running through the territory so I followed him. Found the poor thing in a rundown twoleg nest. He was shakin like a baby kit trying ta stand. I led him back to Shadowclan, poor thing was getting chased by something. Said it was a Fox but I only smelled hints of it.” Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea.
