private me meilleure ennemie ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ flamestar

The blizzard is strong and biting, the dens' insulation barely enough to keep them even a little warm. With each passing day, the prey-pile dwindles and while their bellies remain empty, the Clan's bitterness only grew. The memories of the attack were still all too fresh, clanmates still bound to the medics' den and worsening their situation even more. Roaringsun had been lucky to leave the battle at sunningrocks mostly unscathed, even if the scars given to him by Turtledove would be something he carried irritably for the rest of his days.

Bloodshed hadn't been necessary until RiverClan and ShadowClan decided to act like foxes in their ambush. And as much as he wanted to tear the other Clans a new one. . . was it necessary? Maybe. . . He should chat with Flamestar.

His pawprints quickly disappear due to the snowstorm, tracks quickly covered by more and more snow. His twolegs had never let him go outside while it snowed, and part of him can understand now just why that was. It was horrible. But he cannot recall seeing anything as harsh as this through the clearstone of his previous home. He had always wanted to feel it, but now he could only hope for it to end quickly.

The warrior is shivering by the time he reaches the currently alabaster Highrock ( he relives his last private conversation with Howlingstar, his silent prayer that something would be done to stop the harassment. . . ) and sits by the lichen curtain of Flamestar's den, paws shuffling. He had an idea, sure, but would his leader listen to him or would he be brushed off due to inexperience? "Flamestar?" He calls, hoping the red-furred she-cat was actually inside. "It's Roaringsun. May I come in?"

〕Just outside her den, the wind howled as it carried bursts of snow, covering everything in site. She had just returned from an unsuccessful hunting patrol shortly before Roaringsun arrived at the mouth of her den. The leader was curled up in her nest, her fur fluffed out to try to stay warm. Sleeping in the leader's den was not something she had enjoyed ever since her first night, and now with the blizzard, it was even more unwelcoming. It had more solid wind block, but without countless bodies to sleep next to it was quite cold.

Her ears perked in surprise when the young warrior's voice echoed through her den. "Come in, come in!" she called, raising to her paws. Green eyes settle on him, rounding with concern as she padded inside, snow coating his back. Surely he must not be here to simply visit, not many would risk the walk in the freezing cold right now. "Is everything alright?"

    a longhaired red tabby with low white and green eyes. flamewhisker's fur is a vibrant hue of red, riddled with thick classic tabby markings. her fur is medium in length, and she has a large, feathery tail. her chest, belly, tail tip, and her paws are dipped white. flamewhisker's eyes are a dark, deep shade of green. her shoulder has a large scar on it from a fight with a dog. she also has a shredded ear from a disagreement with a loner during her time alone before joining thunderclan. on particularly cold days, or sometimes before a major weather change, she will walk with a slight limp from her shoulder injury.
 
He is thankful he doesn't have to stand outside for long, Flamestar's voice echoing from inside allowing his entry. His breath billows in front of him as he lets out a sigh before padding into the den, letting his fur lie flat as he's no longer struggling to stay warm against chilling winds. The tom shakes out his snow-sprinkled fur and sits down.

Is everything alright? The red tabby asks, and Roaringsun quickly nods. "Yes! Yes, everything's okay." He reassures, curling his tail around his body, briefly falling silent. He cannot think of a proper way to articulate his thoughts into words so he opts for the only way he knows how. . . by just talking until something makes sense.

"Well, um, I know we want revenge on RiverClan and ShadowClan for their ambush but maybe we don't need to risk more bloodshed. . ." Would she find him crazy? Soft like a kittypet for not wanting to battle? "When we are ready to take our territory back we could send a patrol to their camp to warn them we will be moving the borders back to where they were and trespassers will be attacked on sight. It might be a bold move but if they decide to do something about it they would be the ones starting a fight and if it goes badly. . . it would be their own fault. . ." He trails off to breathe after all the yapping, amber eyes meeting Flamestar's sage-green gaze. "Of course this is all just an idea but I thought we could avoid more injuries —" Raccoonstripe's bloodied form in the river flashes in his mind, as does Squirrelpaw's unmoving body "— So it might be worth. . . considering?" The young warrior mews sheepishly, hoping the she-cat wouldn't take offense to it. He looks at her expectantly, shifting his paws as he waits for an answer.

〕She is relieved to hear that everything is alright, but when he begins to share what was on his mind, she is slightly surprised. The last thing she had expected was for him to come in and share ideas for retaking their territory, but the leader quietly listens, her eyes glittering with interest. He suggests sending a patrol to the opposing clan's camp, declaring that they would be moving the borders back where they belong. It would be a bold move indeed, but she wasn't opposed to bold motions. This one however, needed a few potential changes. The leader waited until he was finished sharing before returning his gaze curiously. "Bold idea indeed." she began, tilting her head slightly to the right. "I fear sending a patrol into the heart of another clan's camp, declaring that we will move our borders is asking for the cats who attend to be swarmed..." But he wasn't wrong, perhaps there was somewhere else where she could declare the movement of border markers...somewhere where violence wasn't allowed...she tucked the idea away for now. "If bloodshed can be avoided, I will do my best." Especially in leaf bare, where herbs were already scarce. Putting her clanmates in danger was something she didn't take lightly, especially since they could have lost a lot more than two warriors in both battles.

Bold idea indeed. comes Flamestar's voice finally, and he searches her gaze to figure out whether that was good or bad. "Wouldn't that be cowardly, to attack a patrol just delivering a message?" He blurts out suddenly. When he actually stops to think about it - and with the ambush heavy on his mind - it makes sense for Flamestar to worry about an attack on the patrol.

If bloodshed can be avoided, I will do my best. Roaringsun relaxes and lets out a sigh of relief. If it can be avoided - and that was a harsh truth of it; there might be a fight for them to retake the land, there might be more deaths if they aren't wholy prepared for it. . . "If it must come to battle," He paws at the cold den floor shyly. "May I hold a. . . sparring session for warriors and apprentices? So we - we are ready."
