Mistlewhisker eyed Owltalon and Crowtooth as they bickered, only half-listening. Rookfire had seemed to take her scolding well, which pleased the Deputy. At least he had the self respect to keep his head high. That taken care of, Mistlewhisker glanced to Crowtooth as the rabbit introduced the smaller apprentice nestled between his paws. Their closeness sent a pang through her heart, and the ShadowClan Deputy swept her gaze over the crowd, trying to pick out two pelts in particular. She spotted Squirrelrise, chatting to what seemed to be an apprentice. Gutspaw hadn't shown, but she wasn't surprised. Bite was never a social cat. Her thoughts drifted to Goopywhisker. Losing her son and watching her other two adopted children suffer with their grief had worn her down this past moon. Mistlewhisker gave Rabbitpaw a short nod, face neutral save for a slight downturn of her lips. "A pleasure, Rabbitpaw."

Ah, so Rabbitpaw had been Crowtooth's apprentice once? Mistlewhisker glanced to Rookfire where he sat, alone save for the RiverClan medics and Mossfreckle. "Well, we find ourselves in similar positions. Rookfire had been an excellent Enforcer before his promotion." Though her tone on "promotion" said just what she thought of that. "Though, he wasn't my apprentice."

The news of fires in WindClan were unfortunate, but they seemed to deal with it just fine. ThunderClan went next, though Bumblestar's announcements were remarkably short. It seemed everyone was surprised, but Mistlewhisker wasn't really inclined to pry. While learning ThunderClan's weaknesses could put ShadowClan in a better position should they need it, Mistlewhisker knew just how testy some of these cats could be and her asking could start something that could devolve into chaos. That was simply the way of things, wasn't it. Bumblestar and Stormstar went back and forth about Cattail Pond, which perfectly represented ThunderClan and RiverClan's relationship with that piece of land.

Dawnstar spoke up next, and while her announcements were nothing new to the Deputy, Mistlewhisker kept her ears focused solely on her Leader's words. Her jab at Rookfire satisfied a little itch inside of her that she wasn't the only one who was irked by his behavior, but also brought a sort of second-hand embarrassment for the medicine apprentice. She wondered how he would react. They hardly had time to, however, as Dawnstar ordered ShadowClan to return home. Mistlewhisker dipped her head to those on the Deputy perch, leaping down herself. "Until next full moon."
