Plotting a rescue [ALL SENIOR WARRIORS/SHINE]

[Fleet]

((OOC- OK, so this thread is for planning the rescue of their two missing warriors Dawnstripe & Shadestorm, the only cats allowed in this thread are Greenstar, Buck, Owlflight, Flamestone & any SENIOR WARRIORS who want to join! I want no cats who are considered young warriors and no newly made warriors here... There will be no posting order on this thread, which means people can post as often as they like and do not have to wait for others to post, but when it reaches its end I will lock the thread whether people have posted or not!))

The golden, blonde lead had gone round the clan asking his senior warriors to join him, Owlflight and the huge they had rescued Buck near the leaders den. The last cat he had visited had been Flamestone, originally he had been reluctant to include the elder, but he owed it to him, after leaving him in the dark so long. His golden, blonde pelt prickled as he sat in his den's entrance, waiting for all the invited cats to join him. While at his side sat the blue, grey rouge, his golden eyes fixed downwards on his splinted forelegs. The tom was nearly healed, but Greenstar had already decided the rescue mission was going to begin without the rouge, he wanted to send cats ahead to scout out the enemy lair but the blue, grey rouge was reluctant to agree to that plan, saying the rouges would know their coming and the tom was not convinced the two hostages were in the same place, which meant sending out to patrols to scout out different areas. This was why Greenstar had called this meeting, he wanted to hear the others opinions on the whole matter, he wanted their advice, he wanted to see if together they could formulate a better rescue plan.

Of course Owlflight already knew the cause of this meeting, after all the healer had been around during every meeting with Buck because someone had to stop him tom clawing the rouges pelt and keeping it all civilized when the rouge disagreed with him. Greenstar had judged the senior warriors and Flamestone had probably formulated an idea of what this little meeting would be about. His sky, blue gaze lifted at the sound of approaching paw steps to fix upon the light brown fur marked with grey tabby stripes that was Falconeyes as he ambled towards them, his amber eyes unreadable. Casually upon reaching them the warrior sat, his tail curling around his paws as he peered around the forming circle as other warriors joined them. Greenstar noticed the tom's amber gaze ended upon Buck and did not shift, so he was not the only one who disliked the rouges presence, but the leader needed the tom to stand any chance of escaping his friends, his tail tip flicked slightly at the thought of how long he had taken re-strengthening the clan after they were weakened by the battle with the loners on the border. He knew his clan was ready now, with the extra training he had insisted upon and the time taken to recover.

Greenstar

(Includes Buck & Falconeyes)

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

The toms eyes rose up, meeting the gaze of Greenstar whom mewed needing a meeting with his senior warriors... Honeywhisker blinked where he laid in his nest shortly awakening from his sleep he seemed pretty tired but who could blame the tom so much had happened lately it seemed the tom never caught a break. his daughter having to be banished, after he was captured by windclan then he battled with some loners that gave him a bit a trouble and now this.... Rising to his paws instantly he knew better then to keep his leader waiting, so without a further delay the white and honey color tom began walking outside the warrior den and began heading towards the group... once he arrived there greenstar was waiting with...the loner buck.... serenadeswings apparent crush falconeyes starring at buck and honeywhisker couldn't help but agree with falconeyes stand offish ways.... loners took his sister his stomach spun on the inside his daughter was already out in the loner lands now with his sister. honeywhisker gave a respectful dip of his head towards his leader before seating himself not to far from falconeyes, the older tom land upon his his four paws and curled his tail around himself giving a tiny unhidden yawn as he blinked sleep away from his eyes looking at the ground waiting for other senior warriors to arrive. honeywhisker couldn't help but think what this topic was going to lead to?

Lilacshadow

She was not in a good mood.

The black she-cat stalked over to the gathering of senior warriors around the leader, not doubting her place among them. No one would be stupid enough to deny it. Extremely loyal, she was still not a cat that was easy to get along with.

Much less so when the wails and cries of motherless kit kept her awake every StarClan-cursed night. To say the ice queen had a soft spot was warrant for a straight jacket, but she did appreciate her sleep. Her violet eyes were slanted as she glanced at the others gathered, giving a respectful nod to Greenstar and a slightly less venom-filled glare towards Honeywhisker then the others received. Since the rescued loner was present there was little to guess about this current meeting.

It was finally time for action.

Instead of sitting she moved restlessly in her place, her black fur beginning to rise in thorn-like spikes, a sign the coming outburst was probably not far off. They probably wouldn't guess what had crossed her mind though. The single thought, the day Shadestorm had been stolen. She'd stopped Dawnstripe taking off after him, and while she would never regret that decision - the queen would have been dead- that did not stop it crowding her mind every time she heard Dawnstripe's kits wailing in the nursery when they woke from their nightmares. Those kits needed something else to do, aside from keeping her and half the other warriors awake.

Impatient to get this discussion underway, her tail thrashed moodily behind her.
"Are we here to let moss grow on our backsides some more or are we here to finally do something useful?" Her gaze slanted towards the rescued loner warily. "Please tell me we're not just going to follow whatever idea this furball comes up with."

Let's sit behind this fortress
I built it just to keep the whole world out

(ooc) It's 3am here, but let's see how this goes...


In small, shuffling steps, the elder made his way to the little gathered group, his once-handsome face twisted into his permanent scowl. His joints were killing him and his left ear felt muffled, though Owlflight had told him that he had nothing lodged there.
The medicine cat wasn't lying - Flamestone could read a cat well enough to know that. But something in Owlflight's gaze told him that this ear thing was just another stupid part of being old. Lovely.

"Lilacshadow, I'm all for the removal of moss from our butts, but rushing into things and getting cats killed has been the alternative for a while now. Speaking of moss on my Jelly Beans, someone remind me to have a word with the apprentices."

For all of his usually grumpy talk, Flamestone fixed Greenstar with his still-steely gaze. Only the ThunderClan leader, and perhaps Owlflight a bit, had any clue of how much Flamestone worried every day about his daughter . . . and yes, Shadestorm too.

"Greenstar, I do hope you have some sort of news or plan for us. I'd like to see ThunderClan returned to a semi-peaceful state before I'm pushing up daisies."

It wasn't made for you
Looks who's left a prisoner

Owlflight smoothed his mottled and tangled pelt as best he could, pushing his stash of herbs to be sorted into a crack in the den wall, to hopefully hide it from rambunctious kits should they go crashing through his den chasing butterflies . . . again. The tom took a steadying breath as he approached the group. He'd had to police so many meetings between Greenstar and Buck that he instinctively placed himself near to them both, just in case. He was no warrior, but he had no time or patience for useless injuries with everything else he had to deal with.

"Take it easy Flamestone. Don't get your blood pressure up again - my stores of chamomile are just about gone thanks to your tantrums."

Owlflight unsheathed one claw and began to clean it, keeping his gaze mild. But really, he'd about had it with the entire Clan. All he wanted was a good nap and an apprentice to take some of the load off.
And it wouldn't hurt if his daughter would speak to him more than once a year.

You're so restless
Wish I was a reader of mind

[Fleet]

He watched the warriors approach with a calm and collected sky, blue gaze though next to Owlflight he could see Buck fidgeting slightly, especially when Lilacshadow spoke. The leader knew the young tom wanted to retort back somehow, but the blue, grey tom said nothing and then the elder Flamestone was approaching responding to Lilacshadow's words before joining them. He noted the look of grumpiness seemed to be the same as earlier and the day before, he had a feeling the old tom was choosing a permeant state of grumpiness rather than cheerfulness. But now he spoke"I know you have all been wondering why I did not go after Dawnstripe... Why I allowed rumors to be rife as they are... It is because the clan was not ready to go after her, we were battered and bruised... Weak even and I could not let the rouges know that.... But now I will tell you the truth..." He had ignored all their earlier comments, starting as he had planned within his head and now he went on"Dawnstripe was taken by rouges, she did not go off on a lovers quest... She sacrificed herself to protect the clan and via conversation with the rou- Buck... We have discerned her kidnapper has links to the cats who took Shadestorm.... And now that the clan is ready, I intend to rescue not just Dawnstripe, but Shadestorm as well..."

Buck looked up at that point, his golden, yellow gaze narrowed but Greenstar ignored him while saying"I know what you will say, they may not still be alive... But I can feel it in my bones that they are and even if they are not, we will do this to avenge them... To teach these rouges that they cannot mess with Thunderclan and get away with it..." He drew a calming breath, noting Falconeyes' kept flicking his amber gaze between Buck and himself, but still the golden, blonde leader went on"So I am going to propose my idea, but I would like to hear your own thoughts and ideas... If we can come up with a better plan together, or if we agree that the plan I wish to put forwards is the best one we will put it into action...." His sky, blue gaze ran over them all, letting those words sink in before he continued"Via conversations with Buck we have discussed the location of the enemy base and I think we should send a couple of our best warriors to scout the area out... To figure out the bands movements, to watch the entrances and exits.... To figure out the best places to pinpoint an attack... Then they would report back their findings and we would plan our attack..... Then it will be war.... And our missing cats resc-"

He was cut off as Buck finally spoke up"If you send cats ahead they will know they are there.... There are eyes everywhere... Your warriors would either get captured and killed.... Or mislead... Probably the second one... Reno loves his games..." Irritation flickered in Greenstar's sky blue eyes, he disliked being interrupted by a rouge and he had shot the tom a dark look knowing if he tried to take out his irritation on the tom in any other way Owlflight would be on his case in seconds. Buck fixed his gaze on the leader continuing"You should trust me Greenstar, I have no reason to love Deepground... They have taken everything aI have ever loved away from me, use my knowledge on all the things you want to send cats to scout for and plan your attack... I cannot see this working any other way..." Greenstar forced himself to remain calm, instead turning his gaze upon the gathered cats asking"So what are your thoughts and opinions on this matter? Does anyone have a plan they would like to put forwards? Or things to add to the current plan?" As he spoke he could see Buck shaking his blue, grey head and he could see the irritation, as well as surprisingly, sadness within his golden, yellow eyes. But he ignored him, focusing instead upon his warriors, Flamestone and even Owlflight.

[ShinoDino first of her name!]

Stars fall at my feet,
Keep me grounded as I reach
Higher than I see

(ooc) Ignore grumpy Flamestone's ideas if you wish - I'm just glad to have semi-muse again. xD


All of that blather meant nothing to him. All that mattered was getting his daughter back home safe. Dawnstripe . . . oh, she was so much like her mother. And like Shinestorm too. Her kits - his grandkits - needed her, and Shadestorm. Nothing else mattered but the protection of ThunderClan and all of its cats.
Oh, he wanted to attack! But he'd been retired for far too many seasons and only his sense of vision had been retained fully.
When Buck mentioned the "eyes everywhere" of Deepground, that managed to shut up his flowing thoughts for a moment. He'd been a warrior for uncountable seasons. He'd been in countless battles.
What were their options, then?

"I see Buck's point. But is the danger in there being any cats spying for us . . . or just ThunderClan warriors?"

He saw Owlflight's confused look and cleared his throat.

"I consider Stonestar to be a fair acquaintance of mine. She has that rouge that joined SkyClan, Crowheart, that has been rather useful in rouge interactions, hasn't he? ThunderClan cannot seriously be lacking in rouges that could assist us, or at the very least be our "eyes" on Deepground. I am the last cat to wish for outside help, but if we risk losing more ThunderClan lives . . . that we cannot do."

StarClan and his own leader be damned, he'd not see another ThunderClan cat needlessly murdered or permanently injured. Rouges wouldn't arise the same suspicions and they would be much more used to dealing with rouges bands like this.
He was much more than an acquaintance of Stonestar, but since few cats remembered her temporary joining of ThunderClan so many moons ago, he thought it best not to mention it.

Is there something there for me?

The medicine cat could see Flamestone's point . . . but he also didn't. The very idea of putting trust in lawless cats that likely couldn't be trusted any more than Reno himself was almost laughable. And that would only create more injured cats. More deaths.
He kept his mouth shut though. His warrior training had ended after only four moons of training. He had no place speaking on battle matters. But, he did have one thing to say, and maybe it would prevent future Flashpaws . . .

"Whatever happens, I think that this is no battle for an apprentice - any apprentice. I'll need help and lots of it if such an attack is planned. I cannot be at the battle - which I insist on, by the way - treating warriors and warding of crazy rouges at the same time. No warrior needs to warrior about his or her apprentice on top of this. Let me have the apprentices, Greenstar, and they can be of use to their Clan while staying alive."

He knew better than to mention the recent apprentice injuries out loud, but he felt sure that his gray gaze conveyed them well enough. He'd never been good at hiding his emotions there, despite his efforts. Owlflight cricked his tail and flicked his gaze between Buck and Greenstar again.
Although, he might have brought Greenstar's wrath onto himself. Whatever.

Pulling back the reins,
Letting go again
I'm not afraid. I'm not

[SpoodleDoodles]

Lilacshadow

Her violet eyes flashed at the grumpy old elder, not content to let someone else get the last word, though truth be told she rather appreciated his sharp tongue. "Forget daisies, old timer, you'd be lucky if you got a thornbush."

She fell silent as Greenstar began to speak, finally taking a moment to sit down like a half-decent warrior. If there was one thing that she could not be faulted on, it was loyalty. Her violet eyes slanted as the truth about Dawnstripe's disappearance came out. She had suspected foul play, but nothing had been confirmed. It didn't bother her that she hadn't been included in the loop, that was the leader's decision. And while most cats would like to know just how exactly rogues had kidnapped a queen right under their noses- and what exactly Dawnstripe had sacrificed herself for- it wasn't important for her to know. The information that was important to her was their course of action.

She listened as the words flew back and forth, her own tail starting to thrash impatiently at she spotted more holes in the plan. "I'm sure the rogues will have both ThunderClan cats in exactly the same place at exactly the same time the moment we storm the place." Her voice dripped sarcasm but not exactly disrespect. "And as if we need rogues to help us fight rogues. Why let SkyClan know we're weakened and expecting to be out of the territory for a few days? Here, Stonestar, come poach our prey while we're out playing heroes!"

She leapt back to her paws and resumed her annoyed pacing, gaze flickering around the camp. Her next thought brought her up so short she nearly tripped as she spun around, almost gagging at Owlflight's suggestion there be apprentices anywhere near the fighting. "Have you lost your beetle-brained mind? Didn't you just hear the loner? These cats will stoop to sneaking up on you and our apprentices while our backs are turned and using you as extra prisoners against us! And another thing, what happens when the camp is almost empty? If rogues are spying out our lands do we just leave everyone in camp and hope for the best? That they won't sneak in to steal our kits and queens and apprentices?"

She sat down hard on the ground again, violet eyes flickering back towards Greenstar. "We should stockpile enough prey for several days if possible, and move those staying behind to a dependable location that's not so easily tracked down. One or two warriors can stay then, and the older apprentices will be able to help hunt and patrol, keeping up appearances. The younger ones will be safely hidden away. Then we can do this in one trip. No outside help, no giving the enemy time to spy us out and trick us, no loafing around on our backsides in the sun."

Once Lilacshadow got going on a tirade, there was no stopping her till it was over.

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

Honeywhisker;

The tom sat there his ears flicking from one side to the other hearing the voices take turns the meeting had begun.... greenstar spoke about sending some warriors to accesses the enemy and come back honeywhisker twitched his tail when the loner spoke interrupting the leader honeywhisker flicked his eyes towards the tom, his words saying that would be useless but greenstar shortly cut over him asking his warriors for their ideas.... Honeywhisker listened to owlflight, flamestone and lilacshadow pitch their ideas but also arguing the others ideas... The tom sat up upon his paws looking around before setting his eyes upon buck as he mewed....

" Taking in consideration the loners words.... a simple recon mission won't do it would alert them.. Taking a whole bunch of thunderclan cats won't do either... we need a patrol i mix of young warriors and senior warriors bigger than our standard patrol but still small in numbers.. that way we have some chance of survival but also not leaving the clan so defenseless.. meaning you greenstar would have to stay here to lead the clan.. we cannot risk loosing our leader the clan would go to chaos..."

Moving his gaze from the loner to greenstar honeywhisker was making himself calm though he really wanted his sister back.. "..this is just me saying this but what if the plan was the patrol was meant to get captured? it is bold and crazy but as the loner stated the leader is about games well... what if we played a game on him.. though for that to work we need someone to know the inside of that said place to help us break out... that's just me we are not battling a clan which the rules are clear, out there..there is no rule you do what you can..still that could be flawed if this reno cat knows everything then he probably sense our trick.. and lives could be lost in that effort...but it's sounding either way lives will be lost no matter what we do... i offer myself up as one of those cats i will save my sister and shadestorm or die trying.." Honeywhisker finished as he glanced to the loner as much as honeywhisker hated shadestorm for lying he knew his sister loved him and he wouldn't get in the way of that.... his daughter showed him that love was powerful she gave up her medicine cat role to fall in love but love has it's price it always seems.. honeywhisker would die for dawnstripe to have her happiness.

[Fleet]

He listened in silence as his senior warriors, medicine cat and elder discussed the situation, laying down their thoughts, their ideas bouncing off each other. His sky blue gaze flickered between them all, from speaker to speaker and occasionally to the blue, grey rouge whose golden, yellow gaze was focused downwards, the twitches of his ears at each new voice the only sign he was listening. Then Honeywhisker offered a crazy plan and he saw Buck become very still, the creamy tom listened to what was being said but now his sky, blue gaze was fixed entirely on the rouge. The blue, grey tom waited until the warrior had finished speaking and then slowly he spoke up once again, his gaze fixed upon his paws"There is a great many offerings here, but no ploy will work, Reno will see right through them and if he doesn't his best pal Ulster definitely will... You allow warriors to be captured and I promise you they will stay captured until they are broken, at which point your clan will be left weakened...." The blue, grey tom's golden gaze was still focused down on his paws and as he finished Greenstar spoke up"You all offer good opinions and strong plans... I agree with Owlflight and Lilacshadow that all apprentices should be kept out of this... I do not welcome the idea of seeking help, rouges are not usually trustworthy and the other clans would love to hear how we cannot protect out own... No... We must do this ourselves...."

He paused before carrying on"However I do agree several warriors should be left to guard those left behind... I see no point in moving base, our camp is well defendable and if we are being watched they will know where we move to anyway... However I do agree that we should stock up on supplies before the patrol leaves and put in a policy that no one who is not a warrior will be allowed to leave the camp until the patrol returns... We can also strengthen camp defenses incase an attack does happen..."He paused to draw breath his gaze going to Owlflight before he continued"You shall remain behind too Owlflight, you are to valuable to us for me to allow you to go... But I would like you to teach two or three members of the patrol basic remedies..." At that the rouge lifted his head and fixed those golden, yellow eyes on him and spoke up"And what about yourself, That warrior" He nodded towards Honeywhisker before carrying on"Has pointed out that you are also valuable to the clan-"

Greenstar's gaze narrowed, it was not nice hearing those words from one of his warriors let alone from a rouge and so he snapped"I cannot ask my clan mates to do something I myself would not do... I will be going on this mission..." He paused taking a moment to think, before settling on mixing several of their ideas together "However for the sake of my warriors words I will be the follow up patrol... We will do this in two stages, there will be a smaller patrol and a larger patrol... The smaller patrol will penetrate the base and seek out our missing warriors... The larger patrol will be waiting to assist them outside the base... If the smaller patrol does not return within a set time limit they will go to their comrades aid.... But when the other patrol does emerge the larger patrol will provide cover... I will lead the large patrol..." His gaze ran over his senior warriors before he went on his tone gaining a commanding edge"Lilacshadow, you will lead the smaller patrol with Honeywhisker as your second in command..."

((OOC- Sorry this took me forever guys, this post was kinda rushed because I want to move along with this plot too... I just realized I forgot Falcon was there, but he's there quietly listening and nodding and blaaaaahhhh..... xDD Anyway, I'll close this thread after everyone posts once more... When I next get a free moment I'll make the patrol post where action can go down... And I might make Greenie make an announcement to the clan if I can bolster up enough Greenie muse...))

[ShinoDino first of her name!]

You know I'd take it all back, take it all back, take it all back
I'd take it all back just to have you

His face twisted evermore into his scowl as the ideas and plots bounced off of one another. He had to admit that his rouge idea had been hare-brained, likely borne of his mother's ideas. She'd always accepted the idea of outside help and been perhaps too trustworthy of rouges. But she'd opened his eyes to acceptance of those different from himself, so he should probably send his thanks instead of his bitterness.
Right now though, her ideas and teachings had only served to make him look more like the decrepit elder he had stubbornly refused to become and probably already was.
Flamestone swung his head slightly side to side, trying to compensate for his deafening left ear. Still, he lost bits of the conversation, especially when cats started screeching over one another.
Finally, he spoke up, unable to truly tell if everyone had stopped speaking again.

"Lovely. A plan at last. And what of me, Greenstar? I'm old but not useless and seeing as this mission involves my Clan, not to mention my daughter, I hope that I can be of use to you."

He didn't even bother getting his hops up that he could be of use on the mission itself. No, those days were long behind him unless the Clan needed a martyr.

I'm waking up
I'm waking up
I'm waking up

Owlflight nodded, already processing Greenstar's words and planning. Remedies and herbs flashed through his mind in a catalogue and he frantically tried to remember which needed restocking.

"Excellent point, Greenstar. I would be useless in a battle. Whichever warriors you would like me to instruct, send them to me and I'll see that they are taught."

Under his breath he muttered,

"Whether or not they choose to remember life-saving information is up to them, of course."

Composing himself, he threw his mind into another catalogue of sorts: the catalogue of each Clan member. They shifted in his mind into groups of injured, ill, apprentices, queens, kits . . . it was almost dizzying. His daughter Skyheart stuck out starkly in his mind and his heart twisted at the thought of her going into battle. But she probably would try to be assigned to the mission - that was just her way. And she'd never say goodbye to him, her hate for him still filling her heart. He understood it - he'd branded her dirty-blooded with his affair with the former SkyClan medicine cat so many moons ago - but he still loved her.
Owlflight cricked his neck, bringing himself back to the here and now.

"Once the patrol assignments are made, they should visit me before setting out. I can give them herbs to aid their strength."

He bit back his thoughts about StarClan's silence. He'd give anything for direction from the skies. Their stony silence had reduced him from high status signs reader to simple distributor of nasty-tasting plant life.

But I'd take it all back, take it all back, take it all back
I'd take it all back just to have you

[SpoodleDoodles]

Lilacshadow

She held her silence as Honeywhisker spoke, shooting him an aside glance at his crazy idea of walking into the lion's den they knew nothing about, but Buck and Greenstar swiftly put down that particular suggestion. She knew he was motivated by fear for his sister, though in her mind that fear should come behind good planing strategies. Though of course, she was forgetting how irrational she could be around Snowleaf...

Her ears pricked as Greenstar saw sense and agreed to keep the younger cats well out of any trouble, and her violet eyes flickered with a faint suggestion of gratitude. She was loyal to a fault, and Greenstar has always responded to that loyalty with respect, which had never been lost on the grouchy she-cat, if anything causing her to feel more loyal to the clan that had saved her life. Greenstar and perhaps Dawnstripe were the only cats she would ever dimly consider, in her own distant way, as friends. Honeywhisker and Flamestone were the only other ones that even came close to that level of respect around her.

As plans were continued, Lilacshadow noted the ledaer's reluctance to stay behind; she didn't expect him to. That was not what a worthy leader did. But he did take the sensible option of leading the second party, thereby keeping overall command but not placing himself on the front line where his loss would be catastrophic. But as he gave his choices for the leaders of the initial patrol, Lilacshadow felt her ears prick and her thrashing tail fall still. Instantly accepting the responsibility she had just been entrusted with, she glanced across at Honeywhisker and gave him a respectful nod. Of course, she'd have to make sure the tom didn't do anything stupid, like trying to run off and free his sister on his own... But other then that, he was quite the wise choice. She turned back to Greenstar. "I will uphold your trust with this."


Hearing the elder's dry voice she glanced across at him, remembering her frustraion earlier from inactivity and felt a brief moment of kinship with the old tom. StarClan forbid she felt useless when she got old...Though apprentices would probably poison her food before that happened. Elder Lilacshadow would be the worst apprentice nightmare possible. She felt a stab of amusement at that thought. "Don't forget to give those apprentices a talking to. Put thorns in their own nests, that should teach them."

A previous thought from right at the start returned to her, and as she rose to her paws once again she looked towards Greenstar. "Leaving several guards is well and good, but I know a collection of kitten furballs who will attempt to follow us when they get wind of what's happening, and no guards will be able to stop them. Those kits of Dawnstripe need something else to do aside from getting underfoot and keeping us awake at night." Her tail lashed once more in annoyance over her current lack of sleep. if the guards left behind where to protect the camp, they could not have more distractions then necessary.

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

Honeywhisker;

The tom sat there in silence after pitching his idea, the loner in the den with the senior group then began voicing his words saying it would not work. Honeywhiskers blue eyes blinked at the loners words in silence.. i did say it was crazy... this band surly can't be as bad as this guy makes it out to be right? The white and honey colored tom raised a cat brow in his thoughts... As greenstar answered with a idea about how camp would be run with less warriors around. It was in that moment the loner again spoke pointing towards himself as he spoke referring to his earlier comment about greenstar being valuable.. Honeywhisker narrowed his gaze wondering what the loner was playing at? it seemed more than just a question, was he testing out thunderclans leader? his courage? Honeywhisker flicked his ears towards greenstars reaction, as the golden leader took a moment taking in consideration of the point being made. Honeywhisker listened to the idea the leader put forward. There would be two groups first group would be small and the second group would larger that greenstar himself would leader to help provide aid to the smaller group and give cover... Honeywhisker nodded his head to this idea.. Then the golden leader was moving forward mewing that lilacshadow would lead the smaller group that would rescue dawnstripe and her partner. Greenstar also added that he, honeywhisker would be the second in command.. The toms eyes lit up looking to his leader with slight surprise, then relaxed he knew he would have a part to play in this.. the senior tom glanced over to lilacshadow whom gazed back to him, giving a slight nod the tom dipped his head back the warrior... they worked together so much recently they knew they had this.. but the tom had to admit it, he found it weird since their kin did not get along.

Honeywhisker sat straighter flicking his gaze quickly to the loner for a moment, still wondering if there was anything up. Though the thought did not last long as honeywhisker flicked his ears as the conversation continued with minor details. We are coming dawnstripe..
