There is no faltering of his expression while Smogmaw spits his quiet rage. His brow lifts– it is carefully spoken, the ire that he spits. It would take a cleverer tongue than his own to trip the ShadowClanner upon his lies. If only Wolfsong were here; he may be charming in measure, but it is his dear friend's wit that he had come to rely upon. "It is well, then, that you will find company in the pits of your pain. Perhaps when the time is right, you will cease your fruitless struggles." Each of the marsh clan's actions seems more a death rattle than the last. A futile fight against the death that chased them. He had not known the clans in the time of their great battle, but he knows the stories. Of fresh blood, routing the old. Of a new beginning forged from their fading grip on the marsh. Sootstar had made a new home from the bones of the old, and they were far less likely to break.
"I hope you recover quickly, Smogmaw," he calls after the receding tom, his claws working a clump of dirt to a smooth layer beneath a paw. "I hope to see you again in time."
Still, Sunstride smiles as the ShadowClanner walks away. He knows there is true hatred in his words. Not for Sun himself, but for WindClan. For Sootstar. Whatever it may be, or whatever purpose it may serve, he is glad to have tasted it. Conviction is as invigorating as a newleaf rain. He looks down to his apprentice, and can only chuckle. "WindClan does not jump at shadows. And as Wolfsong might say–" the lead warrior ducks low to the two apprentices, as if to whisper a secret. "Asking ShadowClan to be wise is as useless as asking them not to stink." Mirth crinkles the corners of his gaze. "Come, you two. There is more to be seen."

SUNSTRIDE. named for his coloration and his bold chasing of fate.
—— cis male, he - him. thirty-six moons old. lead warrior of windclan and former rogue.
—— gay, but somewhat closeted. will not be open about his interests. single, will be so.
—— seems comparatively stranger than who he was some moons ago, serious and cool.
sunstride is broad and bold– a creature standing above most of windclan, though not a beast beyond its borders, with fur that flames red at its base and deepens to a burnt amber with every whorl and stripe. his eyes, in comparison, are a pale summer's blue, still as bold as the rest of him. - "speech"
