It was tense. Well, calling the meeting with Lichenstar and the council tense was an understatement. However, he failed to come up with any words to describe it. He was punished for breaking the code. Some cats like Iciclefang, Ferngill, and... Petalnose were unhappy with him remaining in the clan, but they didn't have the final say. The final verdict was that Snakeblink, his friend would be in charge of him. He would have all eyes on him until Lichenstar said otherwise. As for gatherings? Safe to say he was banned from them. However, he couldn't say he was bummed about it. After all, these punishments were given to him in order to ensure the safety of his daughter. Lichenstar had promised she would be unharmed and remain in Riverclan, even though Iciclefang spoke out against her, demanding for the former Shadowclan apprentice to return whence she came. It was going to be difficult for the two of them, yet a tiny part of him is happy to see her. After all, he's never seen his kits. He's only ever heard of stories, vague descriptions, and names. I don't know which one arrived. Lichenstar whisked me away before I could figure it out.
Finding his daughter wouldn't be too arduous of a task given she would be the only apprentice he wouldn't know from their roster for one, and he had a vague description of his kits to get a sense of who arrived. Bonepaw, his son was a definite no. And so the silver tom watched the apprentices until he saw her.
"Snowykit, she's all black, with white flecks on her cheeks like snow..."
Oh, how unprepared he was to see his daughter in the flesh. Ferndance, you're so cruel. I knew she was beautiful, but you never told me like this. Silver paws press forward until they halt in front of her, leaving a tail length's worth of distance away. For the first time, he's finally able to see her. His little Snowypaw. The tears that have pooled spill down his cheek. Pikesplash knows nothing of what their mother, his mate told them. Told his daughter. In the future he would wonder what she thought when gazing upon him for the first time. However, he is simply overjoyed to be with her. "She's all black with white flecks on her cheek like snow."
The distance between them closes as he places a paw on her cheek, "It's y-you. I'm so happy I can see you. All I ever heard were stories. About all four of you."
