As Leaf-bare draws its final icy inhale, the blanket of misery over ShadowClan is beginning to lift. They are on the cusp of warmer days, and ideas of fuller bellies and comfortable nights hang over the horizon. This season's shortcomings shall soon exist only in distant memory. However, recent ones such as Flickerfire's infidelity and the ThunderClan hunting patrol continue to fester in their hearts and minds—and those failures must be addressed before they can be overcome.
Smogmaw recalls how the deputy had acted after learning of the betrayal. They dismissed the revelation outright, before turning tail and vacating the area in a huff. It in part left him feeling satisfied, for his depiction of events was already producing desired effects. But it also gave him a glimpse into the future leader's coping methods.
Pitchstar is bad enough when it comes to navigating troubled waters. Would a Chilledstar be any different? When they inevitably take the reins of this clan, will they continue this trend of recklessness? Because if so, the days ahead may not be as sunny as what was hoped for.
"Chilledgaze, hold up a second," he calls, catching up with the black-furred feline as they depart from camp. The tom lessens in speed as he verges on the deputy's flank, dark-striped paws meticulous in where they plant themselves. "If you're heading off somewheres important, I'll leave you be," he remarks in his gruff tone. "But, I must ask how you're managing with your workload. For obvious reasons. Everything has sucked, lately." Be it hunting, a lonely border patrol, or simply a scenic trek through the territory, Smogmaw sought to accompany them. Even if just for a little bit.
