[ @Silvershadow13 @FruitBat ] BEASTFLAME
^^^^^^^^
The she-cat was quick to explain, and Beastflame listened, even though every instinct told him he should be chasing off this intruder. Or clawing him. She spoke sense, but unfortunately, it did not excuse this behavior.
“I understand, Silentripple,” he rumbled. “The chaos has affected us all.” It still hurt for him to think about Snowleap’s descent from power, and the havoc that ensued. Quite frankly, he had never been more disappointed in his clan. “Still,” he continued, “This is against our rules, and you know that. Outsiders are not allowed on Riverclan territory unless they come seeking a new home in our clan.” That did not seem to be the case here, though. The tom seemed quite happy simply lounging about lazily in the sand, telling jokes.
“And you,” he said, tone darkening as he turned to the outsider. “I can assure you that I am no friend of yours. Get off the territory, now, or I will chase you off.” The boulder of a cat was quite confident in the ability to enforce this command, and he rather hoped he’d get the chance to. “I do appreciate you cheering up Silentripple, but you two will have to find a different place to do it.” He looked at both of them warningly, seriousness in his amber eyes. Beastflame understood that the molly was distressed, but couldn’t she have at least had them meet at the border instead of so blatantly on Riverclan soil?
"I understand Beastflame" her mind told her to tell Fox to go and she would meet him later, but her voice said something different,
"And I - wait, we can still meet?" The large tom hadn't made them stop meeting, her disbelief was at the brim, and to find an answer to the problem she was going to merely move their meeting spot, a sudden idea came forth,
"Beastflame, is Seastones considered any Clan's territory"

Fox sighed, staying silent for awhile before standing up. “Look I don’t want to get you, into trouble, so I’ll leave.” He says soothingly, as he darted his yellow eyes towards the tabby.

^^^^^^^^^
Beastflame was glad to see that the pair seemed rather understanding of his lecture. However, he didn’t like the enthusiasm in the molly’s voice at the inquiry regarding meeting the tom in the future. He furrowed his brow, fixing the warrior with a glare.
“I cannot stop you from meeting with outsiders, though I strongly discourage it. I will be reporting this event to Gingerfrost, though.” Although he didn’t particularly enjoy throwing his clan mates under the monster, it was his responsibility, now more than ever. The Seastones. He growled softly with disgust at the thought of a rogue setting paw in the meeting locale. “Seastones is territory of all the clans,” he said harshly. “Your friend would face the wrath of all the clans were he to be caught there.” The sheer ridiculousness of the idea made him want to shudder.
“Escort him to the border please, Silentripple,” he ordered, patience wearing thin. “If I see you again on our territory,” he turned to Fox, “I will not be so kind.”

Turning to Fox, Silentripple gave a nod,
"I'll see you later I guess" her reaction to this was short, Beastflame had spoken and she had in the two seconds since he had ordered Fox away, decided to speak with Fox later. She wasn't all to happy about Gingerfrost learning of this but, what's done is done,
"Bye"

Fox sighed, while he dipped his head to Beastflame he looked back at Silentripple. “I’ll see you at the halfbridge, when you get a chance.” He says before trotting off towards the far end of the beach.
[ @Silvershadow13 @FruitBat ] - I don’t believe the half-bridges exist in WCO, just so you know! To avoid getting in trouble with other clan cats in the future, I would recommend roleplay sin the Outskirts/private roleplay. BEASTFLAME
^^^^^^^^
The tabby tom watched silently as the two said goodbye. They were clearly disappointed with his decision and words, but Beastflame didn’t have it in him to care all that much. Rule breaking was rule breaking, and if the Shield was one thing, it was loyal. He would not risk the safety of his clan by allowing outsiders on their territory. Perhaps he shouldn’t have been so lenient, but it was too late now.
He watched as the tom departed, waiting until he was out of sight before relaxing. The Shield gave Silentripple one last look over his shoulder as he turned to head back to camp, equal parts gentle and stern. “You know better, Silentripple,” he spoke softly. “Get back to camp soon.” And with that, he was gone, back into the main territory of RiverClan and headed home.
Aldermane carefully scoured the beach, nose to the ground as he desperately searched for.... anything. Any sign of his dear Doeheart.
Where was she?
He noticed quite quickly when he failed to see her around the camp and immediately set out to find her. Her tracks had led him to Lionsbeach, but from there?
Nothing of use.
Her scent trail ended abruptly and had since faded, nearly being buried beneath the overwhelming scents of the beach. When he still couldn't find a new scent or lead, he yelled, kicking sand with a hind leg.
He obviously couldn't rely only on scent trails.... he'd have to go in the direction it led to, but he couldn't go alone.... or rather, he shouldn't, but he could hardly make himself take the time to return to camp to ask other warriors to accompany him to find Doeheart.
He started his trek in the direction he thought she could have been taken in. She would never have left on her own.... someone had to have taken her.

While I do not (currently) have any cats in the Clan's, I try to have at least a few role plays with my outsiders (Sedgestorm, Woollyfeather) and my StarClanner Coldamber. Most of my role plays until I feel well enough to keep up with sweeps will be related to Covenant of the Sky duties.

Spirittail, spotted addermane on the beach seemingly looking for something, or maybe someone. The spirit-tailed walked up to the small cat to find out more, curiosity in his eyes. "Hey there" Chubby cat meowed "It looks like you're looking for something, Is there anything I can do to help?"
Despite the tiredness he felt deep in his bones, Beansprout let out a rumbling purr that twitched his whiskers. "Of course I won't be tired of you," he reassured, tilting his head ever so slightly. As Lilycreek took a glance at the horizon, Beansprout found himself following her gaze, taking in the beautiful landscape for a long second. He always had admired the way that the ocean met the blue sky, almost blending into one entity. It was lovely to look at.
Then, Lilycreek's words his his ears, and Beansprout had a choice to make. It was apparent, probably, that he wasn't in the best state of mind, but he didn't want to worry the queen too much. So, with a sigh, he spoke. "I'm... tired, mostly," He tried to make the words sound light-hearted, but didn't know how well he had succeeded. "There's just so, so much going on, and I fear that RiverClan is just... falling apart isn't the word, but we're getting close. It feels like there's some problem lurking around every corner, and things only get done once that problem rears its ugly head. And I don't want to have problems always chasing our tails, but I don't know what to do. I don't want to step an any cat's toes, but... Moon above, things have just been so... difficult lately." He let the silence hang in the air, giving Lilycreek a chance to answer if she so wished. With a shake of his head though, he snorted. "But enough about me," he joked. "How are you doing?"
LILYCREEK
Hearing Beansprout give a chuckle at her dumb half-joke had her relax a little. If there was something she was good in, it was reassuring cats (mostly kits, but also the occasional adult). She hadn't realized it, it maybe she got it from Koipool.
Maybe.
Yes, Lilycreek did miss her past mates, but not a crashing, aching missing. She just... knew they were gone and was fine with it. Nothing she could do to change that. No tears, no sleepless nights. Just... an empty void for a little bit, then the filling of that hole. Not like Sproutkit, whose loss still makes her ache every so often.
"Well then, I'm glad. S'nice to have a friend." She said, giving the tom a warm smile, before turning her head back to the horizon. Something about the late afternoon made her tongue feel looser, like the beautiful sky in front of them was gently coaxing her secrest from her.
Neansprout gave her an answer, and she blinked thoughtfully. Tired. She could see it, see it everywhere. Everyone was just so tired. After the dogs... she gave a quiet sigh. The dogs. Natural beasts of disaster.
She looked back up to address Beansprout and his question. How she felt... well, she hadn't really thought about how she felt. She was often preoccupied with how others felt, and how to make them better. Still, she wanted to give an answer...
"Like you said. Tired," she echoed, a little more hollowly than she would have liked. "And scared, for our future." She paused for a little. She'd been taught to never admit fear, to never say anything that would leave weakness. But, what did it matter anymore?
"You're right, you know.. Everything seems to be falling apart. Not just now, but when we were younger, too. I feel like-" she gave a swallow. "Riverclan just... isn't ready. Everyone is growing up so fast, no one has a mind to make good, conscious decisions anymore." She hung her head in shame a little. "It still feels off to admit. That we are growing more and more senseless." She gave a side glance at Beansprout, before giving a small, rueful laugh. "What a dilemma we have, no?"
[this isn't really late what are you talking about /lh]

"My tail can catch many spirits, and when there's spirits there's hope"

Aldermane whirled around to see who had addressed him, fur bristling from all the stress he felt, but calmed himself when he somewhat recognized the individual in front of him, forcing his fur to lie flat.
He made himself breathe before he could speak properly. "I.... haven't seen my mate around camp in several days. I tracked her scent out to here, but I'm having issues following it past this point."
His ears folded against his skull. He hoped his clanmate understood his concern.
Cats went missing practically every day, but Doeheart would never abandon her Clan. Someone had to have taken her.... oh, he hoped she was safe and cared for, wherever she was. His heart would break if she was hurt, or worse....
And he'd kill the one hurting her.... he just.... had to find her first.... "This isn't like her. She'd never leave on her own. I'm hoping to find her..."
He wouldn't ask for help, but he really wanted it. Maybe someone else could find something he hadn't... he didn't want to be a bother and ask Gingerfrost to send search parties, but his desperation was starting to get the better of him.
//Sorry it took me so long to reply! Was on vacation.
As a note, they won't be able to find Doe, only traces of where she might be. I have Alder looking because it would be out of character for him not to\\
