MAYBE I'D BE A SAINT IF I WEREN'T ————————————
The river rushes past Snakeblink’s ears with the echoes of battle: yowls muffled by the water, pained throes bursting into clouds of silvery bubbles under the surface and choked gasps caught when he emerges. He slips through the fight with gritted teeth and keen eyes -- searching for allies in need of assistance, an enemy his own size, fighting more the urge to climb sunningrock and throw his weight behind Lichenstar than any ThunderClan warrior.
A flash of silver catches his eyes. Large build, numerous scars; ThunderClan reinforcements, and a mighty warrior, he thinks. Standing close enough to the edge that he could--
Snakeblink is not usually one to start a fight, but he lives for RiverClan first and foremost: he will not stand aside through a whole battle when he could help, in some small way, and keep the fire of a ThunderClan warrior off his clanmates’ back, off Lichenstar’s back.
(He does not see the flash of blood spraying from their throat -- probably for the best)
In the chaos, it’s easy to swim discreetly towards the shore. His paws skim the silty ground, pushing him forward until he’s closer, close enough to throw himself out of the water, teeth bared, and sink his claws into the ThunderClan cat’s backside. Close enough for passing familiarity with the color of that coat to coalesce into recognition: Gentlestorm, who he has always steered clear of. Gentlestorm, the medicine cat. The realization comes too late for him to sheathe his claws, or stop his controlled fall back into the water, raking his claws down the cat’s back in an attempt to pull him along.
