As he saw Snakeheart glance in his direction with a narrowed look, it only caused Kestrelwing's grin to widen. They were quite similar, and because of that it was easy to read how irritated the medicine cat must've been to discover that he'd figured out what he was going to announce before he actually did. The gray tabby kept his maw shut, but just lifted a paw to place over his own heart, a slight dip of his head directed at Snakeheart. "Well done, Snakebite." It wasn't a yowl of sorts, but loud enough to reach the ears of Snakeheart.

His speech was rather long, but something about it lit a flame within Kestrelwing. The sense of urgency, the need to propel RiverClan into greatness - the warrior was not alone in that ideal. He silently prayed to dead stars he did not believe in that the rest of RiverClan would feel the same way, and the rallying cry started by Snakeheart would be enough to bolster them to a place of rebirth and rebuilding RiverClan.

It was almost enough to cause tears to his eyes, as this was the first outward display of Clan loyalty that he had seen in quite some time, at least in this magnitude. Someone that cared about this home as much as he did. He placed his paw back down on the ground, claws sliding out of their covers subconsciously as Snakeheart continued on about rising from the ashes.

There was a bright future ahead of them, and Kestrelwing knew that this meeting marked the start of a new era for RiverClan. One where the entire forest would know their name and respect their borders. One where his Clanmates would rise up to meet every challenge with double the tenacity and ferociousness of any of their opponents.

He was ready for this new era.
