They doubted they had ever been this excited to see Twilightstar, it had been a long time, too long.
"Brightdawn, you've returned."

"I have, though under much less fortunate stances than I anticipated." They greeted, sorrow evident in their tone. "I suppose an explanation to my absence is required."
They couldn't help but to let out a sigh, oh how to begin?. At this point they were beginning to regret all the decisions they had made in the last few moons.

"My goal was a noble one." The lynx-point began. "As you've obviously noticed, our clanmates have been disappearing very frequently. Many of which, have been very close to me. I found myself left without any ties in the clan, and with it being green-leaf, I assume my absence didn't hinder the success of the clan." It was at this point tears began to well in their usually bright eyes, though their presence didn't effect their explanation.

"So I left, with the hope I would find at least a few windclanners. And I traveled far, I knew someone had to be out there. But as you see, I was unsuccessful in my search." They quickly swallowed the lump growing in their throat. "I found myself having to return, looking much less heroic. But leaf-bare is approaching, and I hope to be able to serve my clan throughout it."

They sat down, tearful eyes looking up expectantly at the molly.
"I ask you to please consider my previous performance, I can catch much more than my fair share of prey in a day, and my battle skills have increased exponentially since the battle at Sky Glade."
