[Howlfire]

Howlfire. Florabreeze. My council will convene after this meeting. I ask you both join us, as lead warriors.

Howlfire still hadn't quite wrapped her head around it. She was a lead warrior now. Stars, her head spun with the notion, not sure whether to feel proud, shocked, upset, or all of the above at her new promotion. She had once told Figfeather she did not aspire for any great role in the clan. Howlfire wouldn't have turned her nose up at a sudden promotion in rank, but she was fairly content with her lot in life, with little aspirations to push herself further. Now, her mind was already beginning to wonder, to think of other possibilities that could stand before her if she pushed herself a little more.

After the meeting, the council had gathered in Orangestar's den to speak. Now the meeting was over, and as they all departed, Howlfire caught the attention of Florabreeze and gestured with a flick of the head to have a quick word. "I never got to say it before but congratulations on becoming a lead warrior, Florabreeze!" Howlfire beamed, giving her a grin that was almost as warm as her prior one. "I'm glad I could step up to the role with someone like you."

Wow! Lead warrior, Florabreeze truthfully had never thought she would be considered for something like this. She was honored to be given such a promotion, despite the meeting and the council convening afterwards with herself and Howlfire included it still hadn't really sunk in. She wondered how Howlfire felt about this, if this was something that she also hadn't considered or if it was something that she had been secretly hoping for? She had to admit that the pair of them hadn't really spoken before this so she wasn't too sure where her fellow lead warriors ambitions lay. This really seemed like a better opportunity to get to know the she-cat better after all, so when she gestured for Florabreeze to approach she had a trot in her walk.

Her tail perked high with a curious sway as she beamed at her fellow lead warrior, that eagerness still there with her just as it was at the meeting. "Congratulations to you too Howlfire! How do you feel? It's pretty exciting huh?" Exciting was one way to put it, nerve-wracking maybe? She wasn't really trying to focus on the negative aspects of this at all, the anxiety that might creep in can wait another day. For right now she was in the mood to celebrate and maybe even find a new friend in the cat standing beside her.

With someone like me? She wasn't too sure what she meant by that but she assumed that it was something positive. "I'm so happy that you stepped up to this role with me too, you work so hard it's really admirable" anytime she's heard about Howlfire she's only heard positive things (granted she would ignore it if she ever heard anything negative).

Florabreeze returns her compliments with an equally excited voice. It appears to her that both of their promotion, though something of a surprise, is something they can both celebrate with glee. "Mostly happy," Howlfire responded quickly, before pausing to consider Florebreeze's question a bit longer. How did she feel? Definitely happy and proud, but there were a lot of other emotions swirling around in her mind that made it had to define clearly. "It's a lot to process, you know? However, I feel mostly happy and proud, as well as honoured to serve on Orangestar's council." Her amber eyes shifted to her fellow lead warrior. "Do you feel much the same? Or does it feel like there's a lot of pressure and expectations on you now because you are also a daylight warrior? I'm sorry if that sounds rude...that was not my intent. Johnnyflame served as a lead warrior well, and I am sure you will also do the same!"

At Florabreeze's following comment, Howlfire ducked her head in embarrassment. "Thank you, it means a lot," She purred. ​

Mostly happy, she could understand that well. If anything there's relief that Howlfire wasn't solely happy, not in a negative way but in the way of gaining solidarity in the fact that they both seem to be processing this. She hums in thought, was it mostly the same for her? Yeah! She thought so anyways. "You'll do a great job, Howlfire" she truly believes it. The pawful of interactions they've had showed her that Howlfire's kind, not only that but she was sensible, had a good head on her shoulders. Truthfully the Maine Coon isn't too sure if that's what Orangestar was looking for but if she personally had to pick lead warriors that would be something she looked out for.

"Hm..." She trails off, humming lightly in thought as he tail refuses to stay idle. Twirling in gentle sways just within the other lead warriors eyesight as she considered her question. "I don't think so? Should I worry about the pressure and expectations?" Truthfully there was some part of her that was concerned for it but she thought maybe it was overthinking. Hearing Howlfire ask about it felt like some kind of relief "I guess so actually, things seem to be a little different for Daylight Warriors. Especially since I'd be representing them somewhat for the other clans?" At least she assumed so, for border patrols and gatherings anyways. She was trying to not think about it so hard, having faith that she will do her best no matter what the expectations are.

Her thoughts melt into a beaming smile as she nods her head "Thank you, If I can do half a good as job as Johnnyflame then I'll be happy" she hopes she can do just a good of job as he did in his service but she thought starting small might be better. With a purr she chuckles lightly in response to Howlfire ducking her head "of course, you're welcome but I'm only saying what I'm sure that others are thinking!"
