Bumblestar shouldered through the lichen curtain that hung in front of the leader's den and raked her sharp stare over the clearing. There was the problem, in the clearing as Daylightwing had described, and she felt the fur along her spine prickle.
"Eggbite!" she barked, voice ringing out as she started to cross the empty space. "You mind explaining to me what the hell you thought you were doin', leavin' your Clanmate like that?"
EggBite flinched at the sound of BumbleStar's voice
'W-Well, I.. I wasn't thinkin' entirely clearly. I mean.. this cat just jumped out at us and.. and Fight or Flight kicked in and.. I ran.. I guess..'
"Fight or flight?" Bumblestar snapped, tail lashing behind her as she stormed over to the warrior and glared at her. "You cost Daylightwing her leg, do you understand that? If you'd done your duty 'n stuck by her, she wouldn't be in this predicament!"
With a snarl, she sank her claws into the grass. "So let's hear it. What do you think is a fitting punishment for someone who allows their Clanmate to be dismembered by ditching them when they should be defending them?"
Ripplepaw was walking around the clearing on his fixed leg. It'd been quite a few moons since anyone had seen Ripplepaw since two kittypets had tricked him into leaving the territory. Oh well, he no longer had a crippled leg and he was beaming. The only problem was... he couldn't find Asterdance, his adoptive parent, anywhere. Which caused him to be distraught.
He wanted to show Aster his fixed leg, but they were nowhere to be found. His light green eyes were searching frantically around the clearing. Then, while spinning in circles, Ripplepaw accidentally smacked straight into a warrior... Spider...throat? This caused him to be snapped out of his freak out episode. He stood there with his mouth slightly agape.
"Oh OH Spiderthroat, Spider.. where is Asterdance?" Ripplepaw's words came out rushed and frantic. There was desperation in his voice as he asked the warrior. The apprentice's tail was twitching with anxiety as he stood there waiting for an answer.

Orangeblossom padded after the kit and waited for the little one to communicate what the game plan was for their outside adventure. Would it be moss ball? Tag, perhaps? More practicing, doesn't matter to him, he would be happy doing anything with his sibling. So Orangeblossom patiently waited as the kit moved towards the grass and situated himself before showing off their crouch again and the warrior nodded with a grin. They must be continuing their lesson then, that was alright with him. He padded a pace away to be in front of Vixenkit before dropping down into a crouch again. "Well after this its pretty easy, though its hard to explain with words so it takes a bit of practice to get it right for you. But the way I think of it is kind of shifting your weight into your back haunches and then springing forward in one motion, fluid and smooth so you don't give your prey much time to realize you are coming!" He turned away a bit so he wouldn't land on the kitten before doing just as he said. Shifting his weight and then leaping forward a tail length away.
His ginger paws landed against the ground with a thump, landing on a stray leave and the warrior made a show of gathering the leaf in his mouth and showing it off proudly to the kit. He padded over and dropped the leaf, watching it float down to gently land on Vixenkit. Orangeblossom let out a fond laugh before stepping back to allow the kit space to practice. Soon enough Vixenkit would be bringing in all sorts of prey! Gonna be the best hunter this clan has ever seen, no doubt about it! "It takes a few tries, so no worries if you don't get it your first shot! Took me ages to stop landing muzzle to ground every time I pounced!" He offered with a slight exaggeration of his past experiences with learning.

"Fight or flight?" Bumblestar snapped, tail lashing behind her as she stormed over to the warrior and glared at her. "You cost Daylightwing her leg, do you understand that? If you'd done your duty 'n stuck by her, she wouldn't be in this predicament!"

EggBite winced.
'Uh.. I s'pose.. I should be.. atleast.. temporarily exiled.. If not worse.'
'Uh.. I s'pose.. I should be.. atleast.. temporarily exiled.. If not worse.'
The warrior looked to her paws sheepishly
If it was considered socially acceptable to spit on someone, Bumblestar would spit on Eggbite. She snarled again. "Temporary exile? Is that all you think allowing a Clanmate to lose her leg is worth? Nah, no, I don't think so."
A step forward, claws flashing in the sunlight. "You're gonna walk with me to the border. 'N I'm gonna watch as you leave, 'n if you try to run or circle back or do anything else, I'll make sure you wind up unable to even drag yourself off with two broken legs, you understand me? Start walkin'." And if Eggbite didn't walk, Bumblestar would drag her.

EggBite's head drooped slightly
'Y-Yes, ma'am.'
She began walking out of camp and towards the border.

warblerpaw padded out of the apprentice's den. blinking sleep from his eyes, he walked over to the prey pile, stretching from his (very very nice nap). tail swishing, he selected a mouse and grinned excitedly, settling down in a corner and started to eat it.
