With as diluted as DuskClan had become over the moons following Sootstar's murder by the paws of those she had once considered Clanmates, there were more than a few days where Silverstrike considered leaving. He never did - and perhaps that was because in truth, he had nowhere to go. He was too proud to call himself a loner or a rogue, or worse, try to turn himself into the Twolegs as one of their little kittypets; there was no going back to the WindClan of today, not only because they simply wouldn't have him back, but because it had changed too fundamentally for him to ever consider it home again. What was left for him but remaining with the remnants of Sootstar's loyalists? - and what a joke that was, when it was primarily made up of new rogues and cats too young to have really known Sootstar.
Rolling his shoulder back with a sigh, Silverstrike looked out in the direction of Highstones, wondering for not the first time how Sootstar had felt when she'd first convened with StarClan - StarClan, who'd abandoned her in her time of need, who'd been quiet and cruel in the aftermath of every battle that took place on old land. She'd once been most pious, and Silverstrike had been content to follow in her pawsteps, to believe in something that he was unsure of; only for that same piety to produce nothing but hate and blood. It was an affront. Silverstrike's attention was pulled from his dreary thoughts to the present as a young warrior stepped up to his side, and he took a moment to regard him.
"Privetfrost." Silverstrike greeted, not coldly, but not with the full warmth of a friend. His feelings were mixed when it came to the young tom - he had all the makings of a fine warrior, so it was only a matter of time before he proved himself fully in the older tom's eyes. He'd stayed steady with DuskClan for this long, had taken on their beliefs - even if he'd been born after Sootstar's time, he had a respect for their roots that was greater than Silverstrike could say for some of the cats that populated their small faction. "Come, sit. Something tells me you've got a question for me."
