༄༄ The celebration has faded from its initial raucous noise level, quieted now to a rumble. Scorchstar lingers off to the side of the largest crowds, carefully avoiding the risk of being pressed into their midst. The warm day is the perfect excuse for celebration, but the calico does not feel quite like spending the entire time trapped in close ranks with her clanmates. In another time, she would be celebrating with Bluepool. Then, she would be celebrating with Rattleheart. Now, she has few with whom she feels it is acceptable to celebrate, and those she does have are surrounded by companions whose company must certainly be better than her own.
The sight of another WindClanner sitting by themself catches her eye, and Scorchstar finds her paws moving closer of their own volition. Vulturepaw is a cat with whom her relationship is strained; she does not trust them to make good decisions for themself or for WindClan. They had hidden the fact that Thriftfeather had helped them get away from DuskClan's clutches, and then they had vouched for the golden tabby to stay even after all the harm he had done. Yet, they are still a WindClanner, and Scorchstar finds herself standing in front of them, her mouth already forming words to spark a conversation.
"This is pleasant, don't you agree? Around this time a year ago, WindClan was… not celebrating anything. It was nearly the end of Sootstar's reign; she accused Sunstar of being a traitor, and drove him out of camp. Many of us followed after him." She does not mention those who remained behind—Cottongsprig, Bluefrost, Sootspot, kits of the fallen tyrant. "It was the end of her reign, that day, even if she drove all of us out of camp. We took refuge in the barn for most of the winter season." Why she is telling the younger cat all of this now, she cannot say. Perhaps the celebration has simply put her into a good mood, made her more talkative.
