Pepper listened intently to the tom, her eyes shining in awe as the other spoke. "He sounds like a wonderful leader and someone who holds a lot of respect from his entire group. What is the name of this group by the way? I never managed to ask the others that."

(That's A-Okay, Ice, it suits him well XD )
"Well, it's the same as wrestling to me!" Mintkit's anger faded away quickly as it was clear that her brother was being more playful than anything. She moved to bat back at him, challenging. "I bet I would still win!"
"Hmph. You're awfully curious for a loner, you know? Though, I guess that's not a surprise." Iciclepaw scoffed, before he sighed out. "We're Riverclan, proud of it too." He puffed his chest ever so slightly, unflinching.

“I’ve heard stories of him when he is angry.” Perch nodded his head. “Those kits are the future of this group so they are very important.”
Reedheart lashed his tail. He wasn’t happy about this. “Fine. I guess there nothing I can do to change this.” He turned to leave, clearly angry they were taking in some ratty rogue in this difficult time.

"Not if you have dry grass up your nose!" Maskkit laugh and bounded into the hay so that Mintkit would have to follow.

Nightflame watched her mate leave Diamondheart, seeing he was angry, "What's wrong?" she murmured, padding up to him and brushing her fur against his.
Thawfrost was cleaning the soot out of his fur, his face scrunched up in disgust.
Paleeyes was grooming her kits, making sure they didn't have any soot on them.

Troutpaw gave a bod and set to work. Laying a leaf for each cat he placed onto each one from a honeycomb he was carrying before placing a single poppy seed into the honey and sliding the leaves toward the cats. "Here, take these. The honey should soothe any damage the smoke caused to your throats and the poppy seed will help calm you down. I wanna see each of you take it all." Tinypool licked up the honey and poppyseeds as instructed. "Thank you Troutpaw." Littleshadow followed after a gentle nudge from Stormsplash. Whispering a small thanks as well. Stormsplash watched his sisters take the herbs, he had gotten out first helping transport the herbs, he didn't need any.

“I’ve heard stories of him when he is angry.” Perch nodded his head. “Those kits are the future of this group so they are very important.” Reedheart lashed his tail. He wasn’t happy about this. “Fine. I guess there nothing I can do to change this.” He turned to leave, clearly angry they were taking in some ratty rogue in this difficult time. "Oh, I certainly hope it won't scare either of you." Revy's voice was rich with a smooth sense of knowing humor, though it was clear he was aware of his father's strength and brutality when it was needed. "He's exceptionally rewarding to those who are loyal. For such a mission, you'll be sure to gain his favor...and certainly mine." His tail flicked slowly, before he turned to look towards the north. "Be prepared for those slobbering twoleg dogs, and plenty of ragged little scraps begging for a fight." Diamondheart opened his jaws to respond, though it died on his tongue, knowing good and well that it would be useless to try and console the other tom. Instead, he took a breath and mewed. "We'll get everything settled. For now, can you lead a hunting patrol? Take able warriors with you, all of our apprentices can handle organizing the bedding and assisting the medicine cats, but we'll need some prey." As grumpy as Reedheart could be, Diamondheart knew the tom was reliable, and was a very skilled Warrior. He could depend on him to pull through for the sake of the clan, and certainly to feed his mate and kits.

Mintkit jumped right into the hay with her brother, ignoring the way it scratched up her pelt. All she cared about was being able to beat her brother in their wrestling. "Ha! A warrior won't be stopped by a little hay!...If it's just grass, right?" She giggled.
"You look like you rolled in ash...Do you need any help?" Orchidnight approached Thawfrost, a hint of weariness in her voice as she looked at her good friend. Admittedly, she was worried for her mother, who had not returned from her patrol with Ottermask. They had gone out towards the fire...surely she would come back soon, right?
"Mama..." Puddlekit mewed softly as Paleeyes groomed him. "Mama, I can groom myself, you know." He did not try and stop his mother though, secretly enjoying the close attention.

Troutpaw looked at Stormsplash with narrowed eyes, his tail giving a single lash behind him. "Stormsplash. If you don't take your herbs right now then I will have some of the warriors hold you down while I feed it to you myself."
----
Pepper shrugged her shoulders softly. "I don't really have long left to live... I feel as though I have nothing to loose by learning about something new. I'm not going to give the details to anyone else anyways, I'm not going to be making it back to two-leg place anytime soon it seems." To prove her point the she-cat tried to stand but her legs still wouldn't hold her for now. "I just wish I could've done more, you know? I bet all of you have done so much! You've hunted food, you've fought to protect your home and family. And the she-cats here... so many of them have lived long enough to have kits. I only wish I could have that as well." She looked at Iciclepaw now and gave a small laugh. "I sorry, I'm rambling on. What about you? I'd love to hear about everything you've done in this Riverclan."

“Fine.” Reedheart said a last annoyed word with the deputy. He turned to his mate. “Come hunting with me.” He spoke before adding. “There’s some mange rogue who wants us to take care of her and Diamondheart won’t chase her off.”

Percy nodded his head. “I’m not scared.” He told the tom. He was a little nervous, not wanting to mess up. “And some twoleg dogs don’t scare me.”

Specklecreek smiled to herself at Troutpaw's words behind her. The apprentice certainly had an air of authority and was energetic about his position. She continued to pad through the clan and over to Diamondheart. "I'm sorry to interrupt." she said with a dip of her head "But did you make it out of the fire alright? Is there anything I can do?"

Stormsplash sighed, "Alright Troutpaw. I don't think I really need them though, someone else should have them." he grumbled, taking the honey and poppyseeds.
Tinypool shook her head at Stormsplash's stubbornness. "Just listen to him."
Littleshadow stayed silent, placing her head on her paws and closing her eyes.

Iciclepaw looked at Pepper for a long time, taking in the she-cat's words. Didn't have long to live...it was almost saddening, even for the usually sharp tom. He shuffled his paws slightly, but quickly regained his sturdy demeanor. "Well, apprentices typically jus train in hunting and battling, until we become warriors. It's not easy work, and I think you'd collapse pretty quick if you tried it out." He admitted.
Diamondheart watched after Reedheart with a hint of conflict, before Specklecreek's voice made his head turn. The deputy offered an assuring nod. "I'm alright, truly. Thank you, Specklecreek. I was not out for long...so the smoke did not do too much to my throat. I only hope that Echosplash made it to Starclan." He sighed softly.

Percy nodded his head. “I’m not scared.” He told the tom. He was a little nervous, not wanting to mess up. “And some twoleg dogs don’t scare me.” "Excellent." Revy's muzzle curled with approval, before his face fell again, a steady look of controlled calmness replacing his taunting demeanor. Serious, and ready to go. He mewed quickly. "The monster was white, with a large blue mark on the side. The nest will have to have that monster nearby. Remember that." He ordered.

The speckled she-cat nodded softly before trying to stand up again, this time her legs managed to hold her up a bit. "Th-There. That's half way there right? Once I can stand I'll try to help you all out. I was taught that if you want help, you have to give help and so I want to try and help if I can." She coughed then and her front legs gave out once more, the she-cat falling onto her belly. "Oops." She let out a sigh and curled in on herself, saddened that she couldn't even do anything to help out these cats that so looked like they needed it.

Percy nodded, taking in the words. “Do you have any ideas where monsters like that sleep in the city?” He asked Revy.

Specklecreek smiled sympathetically, "She and Rosefrost both." she said, a pang of sorrow in her heart for her mother. "The whole forest will mourn today" she said softly, before shaking her head slightly. She had a job to do and a clan to care for. "If you see anyone in need of treatment, please point them my way." She said with a small smile.

Nightflame gave a light frown before nodding and following Reedheart away from the others, "There might be mice hiding in here." she suggested, looking at him.
Holly nodded, her eyes narrowing as she listened to Revy's description of the monster, "What do you think the twolegs will do with them?" she asked quietly.

“Good idea.” Reedheart gave his mate a lick on the check before heading in the way she suggested.

"Hey, I didn't mean do it literally, fishbrain!" Iciclepaw puffed up with surprise, nearly moving on instinct to help the sickly she-cat from falling. "Yeesh, you look ready to crumble apart!..." He puffed, not liking it when he looked or felt concerned for others. Pepper just looked so...pitiful, though, even for him.
Diamondheart nodded to the medicine cat with understanding, before his ears flicked quickly. "There is a loner, over there, who seemed to find herself near this location...I fear we can't spare any cats to feed an extra mouth, yet I do have concern for her condition. Hopefully Earthstar will be able to speak with her, but...I wanted to know if there was anything we could do to at least show her what herbs might help her, back in twolegplace…" He sighed, averting his eyes a bit.
"I know I must sound quite strange, pitying a loner, and yet...I suppose I can't be hypocritical, considering my own origins, after all."
---
Revy looked between Holly and Percy, appreciating their willingness to take in information and use it for later. His tail swished sharply as he mewed. "Usually monsters will sleep right on the thunderpaths in front of the nests, in packs of more than one. Their purpose seems to be helping twolegs capture cats and sometimes dogs too...as for what they do, many cats captured by twolegs are either made into pets, or...changed, in a way. Their scents change, strange scars will appear, and they'll be sent right back into the city as if never taken. The cutters, some call them." He explained. "They'll either make Obsidian into a twoleg pet or take her kits and let her go, I'm guessing."

Percy nodded as he listened. "I've heard about those two legs. I've heard rumors that after you go to those cutters you can't have kits anymore." He spoke. "I don't know what they do but they do something to you." He shivered, glad he hadn't ever been captured.

Nightflame purred and scented the air, searching for the scent of prey. She nodded over at a mouse that was scrambling through the hay and dropped into a crouch.
"Obsidian a twoleg pet?" Holly said, scoffing, "Like that'll ever happen, she would claw them before letting them even touch her." The black she-cat had admired Obsidian, despite the fact that the black queen hadn't been around long, Holly liked her attitude.

"Momma says it's just grass." Maskkit squinted once he was in the hay, trying not to get poked in the eye. He was starting to think this wasn't a good idea. The hay was dusty and dirty and scratchy and stiff. He started to cough and got the dreaded sense that Smogstorm would be bathing him until he became an apprentice just to get all the hay filth off of him.

"Well, it certainly is not what we want, considering the group thrives on numbers. Numbers cannot increase if we lose the ability to have kits." Revy nodded in agreement to Percy's words, scowling lightly. There was no way that he would ever let a twoleg get their paws on him. He glanced at Holly when she spoke, smirking ever so slightly. "You seem fond of our newcomer leader's mate. I can't blame you. She fit in rather quickly, did she not. She belongs here, with us, yes?"
Smogstorm answered her son's mental thoughts, moving out of instinct to pull her kits out of the hay when they threw themselves too deep. She placed Maskkit down before doing the same to Mintkit. She flicked her tail and scolded gently. "I expected you to play in the grass, not drown in it."

Maskkit sneezed and shook out his pelt, little hay dust fluttering off of him. "I didn't think it was that deep!"

Pepper laughed lightly and shook her head as best she could in her curled up position. "I've always wanted to be of help, like you and all of the others that are here. Sadly I've only ever been a burden on others. I know the two-leg place like the back of my paw. Every garden, every house. I even know where this really beautiful greenhouse is on the outskirts of two-leg place where you can find a lot of birds and cool plants. Even with all of that knowledge though... there's not much someone as weak as me can do with it."
