Walking side by side with the newly appointed lead warrior, Salamandersnap found herself glancing at the younger tom out of the corner of her eye. Regardless of her own thoughts about such a young cat being appointed to Mirestar's council, she had been surprised when he'd requested her to join him on a patrol that morning. Of course she'd agreed, eager to help the clan any way that she could.

"so... lead warrior hmm?" She asks somewhat awkwardly as they fall in step with one another. They weren't close by any means, but Snowlark seemed to be one of the only cats who she could somewhat get along with in the clan. They seemed to have similar views on many aspects of the clan, so she could at least try and get along with him right?

[ ༻❄༺ ] He knew that some had mixed feelings on his ascension to lead warrior, especially when there was such a giant gap between him and the others. Scalejaw had been a warrior for many moons, even as a kit she was a warrior. Sharpshadow as well and even Lilacfur and many others who had been in their paws before. So it was easy to say that Snowlark had a lot to catch up to compare to his council mates, but luckily for him, he can always study them, always look, and even ask them for advice and suggestions if he felt something needed another opinion.

The frosted air nipped at his pale nose as he walked side by side with an older warrior than him, wondering how she felt over someone barely half her age getting to be a voice to Mirestar, to have an opinion over the care and well-being of the clan. Yet the silence that was in the air would soon be broken by her words and the boy let out a soft sigh come from his lips as a slight smile tug on his maw. "Yea... Lead warrior... I uh... I always wanted to become something more than a simple warrior, a part of me wishes to one day lead Shadowclan just as Chilledstar has and even Smogstar, now Mirestar but to think... I would be entrusted with such a big responsibility... well, it's a lot, but thankfully I have others I can look to for guidance" he expressed coolly.

He didn't want, no, he didn't need the clan to see or to know how nervous he felt about all of this truly. That gap that settles between him and the others was apparent but so was Mirestar's when it came to the other clan leaders, so he was sure their former mentor can in some ways understand the anxious feeling that twisted deeply in his guts. "Does it feel strange... to you or to others that someone so young has a big voice in deciding the direction of Shadowclan?" he asked, voice full of earnesty and curiosity. After all, he wanted to know what his clanmates thought, especially now as one of his responsibilities he supposed.

Was it just a broken system? That cats such as Scalejaw had to wait so long for their worth to be proven? While others as young as Snowlark were promoted instead? Was there an unfair bias to the rise of such a young apprentice? Surely Mirestar wouldn't stoop to that level. Would they? A shake of her pelt clears the negative thoughts from her mind, just in time to nod along with the end of his sentence. "That is... true. There are many who are willing to give guidance if you're seeking it. We all have a lot to learn from each cat in the clan." She muses, remembering something her father had told her many moons ago. Whether from the youngest or oldest cat, each cat had a lesson to teach another.

Of course he speaks her inner thoughts aloud. He must have seen it in the way she carried herself, or the hesitation surrounding her eagerness to join him on patrol. "It is odd yes.... but.... perhaps Mirestar just sees something within you that most of us don't see. I can't imagine they would promote you for no good reason." She admits neutrally. Regardless of her own feelings, she had to believe that Mirestar knew what they were doing. And if Mirestar chose Snowlark, then she respected and trusted that choice.
