Leading his apprentice back to camp a quick glance is given the remaining warriors left along with a sheepish smile in response to their incredulous expressions. Word of the WindClan leader at the border had spread like the wild fire that once touched their forest some time ago and his only solace was knowing Howlingstar had already made a decision to walk away. The red tabby ambled along, a strained expression on his maw as he considered how to go about handling his apprentice's little remark and he could feel the headache forming already. He loved Shallowpaw, he was a good kid deep down under layers and layers of personal issues and he'd spent some time slowly earning his trust enough they could communicate more evenly; he could already feel him pulling away at the incoming lecture, knew he'd withdraw more as a result but in fairness he could not just ignore it. He'd done it in front of their leader and other apprentice's recieved far sharper words than what he was about to get for it. Sunfreckle came to a stop finally, turned with his head dipped on a more even level.
"Shallowpaw, you have to mind yourself at the border. We can not be saying such things before another clan." Even if they were true. It would only cause them grief in the end. WindClan were volatile cats and their leader even moreso, who is to say what sharp words might cut deep enough to send her into madness and declare war upon them next. Sunfreckle didn't want to risk that and he was sure no one here did either; talk of their constant attacks on other clans to take what was not theirs
"A good warrior knows when to hold his tongue." He'd be expected to give more punishment than mere words though, it was quite the little remark-funny as it was. A placid smile formed on his maw as he sighed, "You'll be remaining in camp when we go to take Sunningrocks. Consider it just a lesson in tact, if we can't handle ourselves upholding ThunderClan's integrity then to honorably fight for what is rightfully ours is not your battle currently. Should it go well though I'll take you hunting to the new territory!" And if it did not go well he might not be in the condition to go hunting at all but he was optimistic at least.
