"So much for getting to return to your regular duties," Iciclefang remarks to Hazecloud. The two queens lie outside the nursery as the sunset ripples into gold-threaded blood behind them. The meeting had concluded sometime ago; Hazecloud has officially left the nursery that had been her residence for so long, and so had the kits she'd birthed and taken in. It already feels emptier to Iciclefang; Robinheart is a kind young she-cat, but her company just isn't the same comfort as Hazecloud's has come to be. "What will be your first order of business, deputy Hazecloud?" There's a teasing note to her otherwise cool-toned words.
She twists, giving her back a few licks, when a thought crosses her mind. Splashpaw. Lichenstar had told her council the truth about the white-flecked apprentice, but Iciclefang's attempt at enlightening the Clan had gone nowhere, had been quashed like a beetle under her leader's striped paw. The tortoiseshell turns back to her companion, the mirth dying from her blue eyes. What's left is cold and intense. "As your lead warrior, I think you deserve to know where Splashpaw has come from," she mews. "I don't know if Lichenstar will tell you herself."
And it's because she does not trust her leader to be transparent that she continues. "Splashpaw is a ShadowClan apprentice. She came home with Lichenstar from the Gathering." Her lips draw back into a tight, thin line. "She is Pikesplash's daughter by a ShadowClan queen."
