Sorry I wasn't here fir a bit. I'm feeling kind of sick so I'll be poofy :/)
Swiftflight had listened to the cats argue without saying a word, contemplating which side here was best. But, in reality, neither side was best. Both had their pros and cons, and he knew from experience what it was like too be cooped up in camp from when he had fought that fix and lost half of his tail, but he also knew Troutstar was fading so quickly. "I think Troutstar should be free to live his last life, however," he flicked his green gaze to look at the old leader, "you should also listen to your deputy. Your word may be law, but law dies not change the fact that you are growing weaker and weaker. Red heart wishes only to see that you do not die out in the woods, alone, and I wish the same. We, as GhostClan warriors, are to serve our clan and leader, and that includes looking after a leader who is old and on their last life, no matter how much they hate it. We want you both happy and safe. I know you realize how near to the end you really are. Being stubborn will not change any of that, so please, if you do go out, at least take a warrior or two with you. The clan is still need of your guidance." Though the dark pelted tom did not usually enjoy speaking so much at once, he felt it was necessary here, and he added one final comment. "Listen to Redheart a little." With that, he turned to follow the deputy.

Ashstep was quick to turn his ears on the commotion, vying for the option to just keep out of it all. "Why can't we all just agree for once?" he moewed rather exasperatedly, shaking his head a little before he turned his attention back to Whitesky. "That sounds good to me, I just want to get out here before tensions reach maximum."

Raggedstrike sighed. "Sorry, Troutstar. I couldn't just stand back and say nothing." He meowed apologetically before dipping his head in respect and returning to his food. He still heard what Swiftclaw said, but this time he really was going to stay out of it. He swiftly finished his vole before licking his lips and heading out of camp. He didn't want to stay and listen to the arguing continue.

Featherfall looked around. This argument had become much more than she had intended, and now she felt guilty. She had only wanted to get Redheart off Rabbitstars back, and now the whole clan was chiming in. She shook her head softly in her shame. Every cat had good points and bad, including herself. She knew this.
Doepaw padded towards Antpaw, who seemed a bit frazzled. "Would you like any help or are you finished?" She asked. She was trying her hardest to avoid the very loud conversation that had been taken up by the medicine den.

Sorry for poof~
» Vixenpaw & Fleetpaw
Fleetpaw and Vixenpaw walked into camp together. Fleetpaw looked agitated, but not in a bad mood, persay. He appeared to be grumbling to her, but she was tuning him out, an occasional nod and "mmhm" After a day of day with Redheart, the two apprentices were hungry. Fleetpaw and Vixenpaw padded over to fresh-kill pile. Vixenpaw grabbed a rabbit and too it over to the basking rocks, Fleetpaw followed suit.

Antpaw looked at Doepaw thankfully. "I finished, thanks Starclan, but thanks. Redheart would probably have my pelt if she saw anyone helping anyway." He meowed, rolling his eyes as he spoke about his mentor. She could be tough on him, and he would sometimes get jealous of his denmates.

"Alright then. She can be a pain. Want to do anything in particular?" She was bored. Her training session had gone well, and that made her happy, but now she didn't know what else to do with herself.

Antpaw smirked. "When you've been spending all day taking care of the elders, anything sounds good." He meowed with an amused twitch of his whiskers. "We can go hunting? Or just go explore the territory? I want to get out of camp." He meowed. It'd been since yesterday that he last got out of camp and felt cramped being surrounded by all his clanmates for what seemed like forever.

(Sorry for poof)
Troutstar tried to not roll his eyes. He wasn't annoyed with Swiftflight for speaking up at all; he was glad the usually solemn warrior had put his thoughts into a particularly rough but needed conversatipn. "Thank you. I realize that Redheart just means the best. I wouldn't do the same thing in her position, but I do understand where she is coming from. I think she is scared about the fact that I am on my last life." The big black-and-gray tabby gave a shrug. "I feel that she wants to delay it as long as possible. Thank you all for talking with her."
Whitesky gave a shrug. "Cats always argue." She wasn't paying attention to anything her clanmates had said across camp. "Come on, let's go hunt."

Thanks, Empress  Flintpath would be good for Hollystripe, since she's a queen and is only lying around camp, too XD) Hollystripe listened intently at the argument that had unfolded before her. She lie outside the nursery, her big belly looking bigger as it rested on the earth. With not much for her to do in camp herself since she was to have kits in the next couple moons, she envied Troutstar's ability to leave camp at all. She was aware that she could leave if she really wanted to, but her better judgement told her not to right now. "I wish I could goo and hunt at all," the gray tabby sighed. Swiftflight nodded acknowledgement but went to follow Redheart. he wasn't the most open tom, but he still had a heart and still cared about his clanmates. Though it made him uncomfortable to do what he was about to do, as it was so foreign to him, he would do it anyway, for Redheart. He padded after her, quickly catching up, and then walked along beside her. "Don't feel upset for all of this. You have good intentions and truly care for Troutstar. We can all see that. You're right in many ways," he meowed quietly, trying to offer comfort in the best way the closed off tom could. |

Redheart was surprised to hear Swiftflight next to her; she almost jumped. "Thank you." Her words were short but not out of animosity to the black and white tom. Behind her, her tail lashed the air - a warning sign against her will that she was in a bad mood. "I really do try to do what I think is best for the clan," Redheart mewed, "I wish the others would see it that way too. Maybe I'm getting my tail in a knot over nothing... I don't know."

"It's not nothing," Swiftflgiht responded simply, looking only ahead now. He wouldn't say more, as he didn't feel it was needed for him to at the moment, but he had already decided to stay with the deputy for a while to comfort her, no matter how alien it felt to do such a thing. It never happened much considering he was more of a lone wolf type of tom, but he felt it was needed now. He also knew that Redheart was right to worry about Troutstar. Sadly, it wouldn't be too long begone his last life withered a away completely... Deep down, it really saddened him to see the leader he grew up knowing so old like he was and to know that he'd soon join StarClan.

Redheart was quiet at Swiftflight's words. She could sense that he was sad about something; more likely than not the closely approaching fact of Troutstar's final passing. "It worries me that he hasn't chosen a second successor. I fear that he may be gone before that." She sat down and looked at her paws. "I don't worry about running the clan by myself, but...." Redheart trailed off. "I don't want him to be gone."

Swiftlfight stopped next the Redheart and thought for a moment before sitting down next to her, rather close so he could offer his tail on her shoulder again for comfort. "No matter how badly we want to, we can't stop nature," he meowed quietly, a hint of sadness creeping into his voice. He looked down, his green gaze facing the ground but fixed on onto ethnic else entirely, something in another world perhaps. Absentmindedly, he began to shake, like light shivers running through his pelt constantly, and his jaw clenched. In his mind, a horrible memory played out and twisted his heart. It was horrible to have someone you cared so much about die...especially when threre really wasn't anything you could do to save them.

"Are you okay?" Redheart tensed, and her fur bristled; she contemplated pulling away from him, but didn't. "Um... Swiftflight? Are you alright?" She peered closer at the black and white tom.

Swiftflight continued to shake for a heartbeat, but then he blinked a few times and looked up at Redheart. The shaking stopped and he took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. "Yeah...I just...I know how you feel," he said quietly and took another breath, "about the thought of losing someone you care about." He shook his head vigorously. "Sorry, it's nothing." He blinked a few more times, the intense emotion ebbing away with each closing and opening of his eyes until they returned to the usual blank expression. He mentally cursed himself for letting that happen, for letting that horrid emotion slip beyond his barrier.

It doesn't seem like nothing, Redheart thought to say; but she didn't want to alienate or agitate him too. She felt it was best to not press Swiftflight, so she said, "Thank you for the comfort. I hope you're okay." At a sincere loss for words, she stared at her paws.

[Sorry for the sudden poof. Wedding prep for my cousin.]
Featherfall felt bad for Redheart. The cat really did mean well at the end of the day, but she could be so intense. She didn't know what to do with herself now, and so she took stock of the situation and padded back towards the fresh-kill pile for a mouse.
"I'm up for a hunt, or exploration. Just lead the way." She was happy to be talking to someone for a change, and especially someone who was not Nettlepaw.

{Sorry for vanishing like that!!}
A crying Nidoking: Ashstep did feel a little bad for Troutstar, he could understand that the tom wanted to live out his last life how he wanted, but he could also understand Redheart's worry. Things would hopefully be better when a new Deputy was picked. "Alright," the long haired tom meowed as he started to pad out of camp, I just hope there isn't a full out Clan war by the time we get back."

Swiftflight simply nodded, staring off into the distance. After a moment, he brought up an idea that would probably be good for them both, and definitely for the clan. "Let's form a hunting patrol and get out for a while," he meowed and turned his green gaze back to the she-cat. Having something like that to do, something that required focus and would help the clan, was the best way to get their minds off of whatever was bugging them - Troutstar and a cat swiftflight had once been very close to.

Whitesky stretched and yawned. "Oh, then something interesting would be happening, Ashstep," she giggled at him. The white she-cat bounced after Ashstep.
"Yeah. That sounds like a good idea." Redheart picked her head up. The clan needed her, now was not the time to mope. "Who did you want to bring, besides just us?" She asked Swiftflight.
Not seeing Willowheart or Clearpaw anywhere in sight, Troutstar sighed and slowly made his way back to the fresh-kill pile. He picked up the quail he had caught earlier and flopped down beside Raggedstrike. "May I?" he asked, even after sitting down.

Swiftflight just gave a simple shrug in response. He honestly didn't care who they brought, or if they did a two-cat team of just them. Of course, it was safer to have more numbers, but as long as they didn't run into any foxes, he didn't have a problem with how big the patrol was. "Just get anyone if you want. You're the deputy," he told her then scanned the camp for any available cats, doubting Redheart would want to go on a patrol of only two anyway.

She sighed. "Alright." Redheart stood and turned back around to face the camp - it seemed most cats were having their post-sunhigh meal for the day. She saw Troutstar among the cats, and didn't want to spark the argument again, so decided not to bother those he was eating around.

Ashstep gave the slightest of frowns. "I would rather I didn't have to pick a side and fight against clanmates," a clan war was not something he wanted to get himself involved in, but it did seem as though things were calming down now, thank StarClan for that.

"Yeah. A clan war seems like too much drama." Whitesky turned her nose up at the thought. "Sometimes I think the clan gets its whole tail in a knot over the silliest things! Who's going to be deputy and stuff like that."

"Hmph... I wonder if Flintpath is busy?" Redheart muttered to herself, watching the tom cat from afar. She needed more cats for her patrol.
(this reply sucks ahaha I'm sorry)
