Okay, a bit harsh. He obviously knew not everything was fine, but he was somewhat intrigued on what she had to say, and she seemed to not mind if he continued following, so he did. Hell, everything she was saying was damn right facts. He nodded when she seemed to finish. “You- you’re damn right. I get respecting the high ranks and their decisions and all but…not caring about any of the other cats or their opinions? And just cause a cat isn’t a Lionheart or something not being listened to? And if they are one…they get lighter punishments?” he treaded carefully with his words. He wasn’t sure exactly this cats grounds (though he had a decent idea). “There should be the freedom of speaking without…without being punished for simply saying something.” he glanced to the warrior, hoping he was saying the right thing. He did agree with all these points, it was wrong.

"Exactly. Exactly." Maybe she should start keeping a list of cats she respected alongside her hit-list, because this guy would one-thousand percent be finding his way onto it with a very small pawful of others. Redmire threw him a look that was far less-aggrieved than before.

"You get it. It didn't use to be this way. We were all on equal ground. But now, if we're not kissing tail or worshipping the dirt Fadingstar walks on, we're not even worth the time of day." Fogmuzzle, Thunderchaser - regular warriors who had been dealt with violently and suddenly for nothing more than words. Duskleaf, Dusklion - the former had endangered them, and the latter had killed Fallownose, but because they were in Fadingstar's inner circle, suddenly they were worth the effort. And when that had been brought up? Suddenly the vote was pulled, and now no one was worth it, despite the fact that wasn't what anyone had said - and Redmire knew without a shadow of a doubt that biases would continue to bloom with or without the publicity.

Redmire clacked her teeth together several times in frustration, claws hooking and shredding grass as she walked. "I'm so tired of it. But we can't even say that in his near vicinity or we're axed for treason."

So, this isn’t a cat who should know about his possible-aspiring-medicine-cat dream huh? She wouldn’t know, unless he got it…which probably wasn’t likely cause some super ‘special’ cat that’s close to Fading or Dusk would receive the role. Someone that stood out more than him. He just didn’t know how much longer he could go on with his jaw. Still…he should watch his muzzle for now. He truly didn’t mean to offend them too much…he simply wanted to state the fair and unfair…perhaps if he could become medicine cat…he’d change that for the clan? Maybe make things more fair?

Okay- don’t think too long! He was tempted to bring up his free he was as an outsider, but he was t sure how this cat would take it…ey, what’s the harm? “Hell- their lea’erships all I know—I grew up an ou’sider…RiverClan heritage but…it was so free. Now I cant’ speak up- I’m tryin’ to be nicer recently, bu’ DuskLiom almos’ iner’fered in a…’conversation’ I was in simply cause I go’ a bi’ hea’ed and stood up for my own dignity to another cat.” he shared, shaking his head in disbelief. Perhaps he was being too dramatic? Blowing it all out of proportion and stuff, but it felt nice to share. Someone to talk too when he’s pissed at the system.

So he was also of outsider origin. Redmire's ears swiveled as she regarded him with another sideways look.

"I was an outsider, too," she confessed after a moment. "I was born that way, no Clan blood in my veins. I only joined RiverClan when my parents dropped me off at the border. Things were... fine, I guess, under Snowleap. They weren't great, not the way I've heard they used to be, under Lionstorm or Kestrelstar. But it... wasn't like this."

A low growl left her throat, more frustrated than angry. "It feels like we're not a Clan anymore," she growled. "Just a group of rogues living together under a relentless control. We can get back to that, I know we can. I want to make that happen. But we're being split into the worth-it and the not-worth-it, and every choice made feels like ten steps back. We can't think, or talk, or do things for ourselves without it being criticized. I hate it."

Surely - surely - there was a path to improvement. It just didn't feel possible when their leader was constantly bearing down on them.
