flamestripe !!
What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things A memory remains just a tiny spark I give it all my oxygen, So let the flames begin So let the flames begin
[/color][/font]Flamestripe wanted to lunge forward to snap at the SnakeClan cat, but somehow he managed to hold himself back. It wasn't that he was afraid of being called out or anything- if there was one thing Flamestripe was, it was arrogant. But the cat was just so infuriating, and Flamestripe didn't trust him around Midnightstar. Soon Midnightstar would be gone, and Flamestripe would be leader. He would see who would be laughing then. So pretending to be extremely angry, Flamestripe lashed his tail and shot icy glares at Coby as Midnightstar restrained him. He sat down and began to groom himself, eyes glaring darkly at Coby. The lithe deputy wouldn't stand for this much longer. It was time someone taught them a lesson, and soon. Well, at least Midnightstar was on her guard around the SnakeClan cats. Out of the corner of his eye, the ginger tom saw Stripedfur sit down. he could tell the tom was trying not to be noticed, so Flamestripe didn't say anything. It was Clan loyalty, after all. If Stripedfur didn't want the attention of that scrawny cat, Flamestripe wouldn't call him out. However, Coby noticed anyways and Flamestripe scowled blackly. "You'll get mentors when you're deemed part of the Clan," he mewed edgily. "How can you know ever movement of our leader and not know any of our warriors?" he asked, glancing at Stripedfur to prove his point. Curling his tail around his paws, the deputy went on. "Normal apprentices have more respect for the leader and deputy of this Clan," Flamestripe snarled, referring to when Coby had been mostly ignoring him earlier. Still, the tom knew he couldn't attack Coby with the leader nearby. He began to flex his claws menacingly, eyes never leaving Coby's face. "So, Stripedfur," the tom called out. "What do you think of this whole thing?" So let the flames begin So let the flames begin [/font][/blockquote][/size]

"I know that but MidnightStar has already accepted us into the clan so I asked when we'ed be getting mentors. Out of curiousity, apart from our backround, what do you have against SnakeClan that makes you look like there is something wrong with your bladder?" Asked Coby sweetly.

Stripedfur seemed surprised when he was asked what he thought of the situation. He hadn't really heard much of what was going on, just an angry voice and a sick cat. But no matter. He would tell his opinion. "Flamestripe, I think that you are right - Coby shouldn't have known that Midnightstar was sick. But you really shouldn't yell at him for caring. Yes, if he was spying on us, then he should be punished. But suppose one of the cats in the clan had told him? Or maybe he had smelled her sickened scent? It could be any number of things. And as for the snake meat - they wouldn't be eating it if they didn't know the threat they posed, would they? Well, actually, they might eat them if they didn't know, but they are just apprentices. Mentor-less apprentices for that matter. They should be given a chance. But if they receive mentors, they must first be accepted into the Clan. And as far as I am concerned, that is Midnightstar's decision. I don't wish to offend you in any way, but I am stating my opinion."
He practically rattled off a speak there, and hoped Flamestripe wouldn't scold him for talking too much, or something along those lines. This was just him answering Flamestripe's question. No reason to be frightened of the cats response. "And Coby, you really shouldn't come unannounced and give the leader a snake. Many cats in the clan are still unsure of your clan, so you should at least give some warning before you show up."
Now he felt as though he were acting as mediator, but without half of the information he needed. He had only come to ask Flamestripe if he could lead a hunting patrol...[/color]

"Oh, I'm sorry I thought you know..." Said Coby, staring at his paws in shame, He should have known especially since he WAS second in command to SnakeClan.

(I hope yall don't mind if I join...keeping up my RP skills. Plus I'm MCA) Willowpaw had just come out for fresh air and fresh-kill. but heard the argument in the clearing. Seeing as Flamestripe, the deputy, was part of it, she felt that it was her buisness as well. However, Willowpaw did not go to investigate. She trotted to the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a vole. Then she sat besides Stripedfur and listened intently.
Then Stripedfur spoke. Willowpaw thought that out of all of them Stripedfur had the most common sense. But that train of thought was soon banished from her mind as she heard that Midnightstar was sick!
Leaping up from her meal, she trotted to Flamestripe's side. "Please excuse my interuption, but I thought I heard mention of Midnightstar being sick. I thought I'd confirm this with you." Willowpaw mewed, lifting her big, bright, mismatched eyes to meet Flamestripe hard, amber ones.

[/color][/font]Not taking his eyes off of the reddish cat in front of him, Flamestripe sat back, relaxing on his haunches. He perked his ears to the side, listening intently to Stripedfur as the warrior went on, trying to mediate between them. The ginger deputy nodded calmly, flexing his long claws. He liked Stripedfur, as much as Flamestripe would ever be able to like anyone. He was a good cat, though a little curious. Flamestripe would have to make sure that he wasn't anywhere around when the deputy made his attempt on their leader's life. When Stripedfur was finished, he shot another menacing glance at Coby and began to reply. He opened his mouth, planning to make his words drawn out and lethargic. He wanted to seem angry, but not too angry. He couldn't be too harsh on the SnakeClan cat. "Maybe you're right," he said to Stripedfur, trying to seem like the bold deputy who wasn't afraid to listen. It was one of his easier roles. "I don't trust you, SnakeClan cat, but Stripedfur's right. Just because you heard of her sickness doesn't mean you were spying or anything. Just be more careful next time about the snake. It might seem normal for your savage... your different Clan ways, but here, snakes aren't eaten," he finished promptly, giving a slight nod to Coby. Though his body language was a bit gentler, the flinty look in his eyes never vanished. With a sigh, the tom turned to Midnightstar. "Sorry if I overstepped my bounds," he said, too low for the others to hear. Flamestripe then looked back at Stripedfur. "Was there a reason you came over?" he asked the tom, sizing him up. So let the flames begin So let the flames begin [/font][/blockquote][/size]

Stripedfur stood up. "I actually came over here to know what you would like me to do. Well, actually what Midnightstar wanted me to do, but you were also here." Stripedfur commented, almost automatically. He looked away as Flamestripe stared him down, almost challengingly. He knew he wasn't the boss here. Obviously. He shifted the weight between his front paws, then realized that Willowpaw was being ignored. "No, she isn't feeling all this well. But that is for her to talk to you about. I was, as you may be able to tell, just about to leave." He said, and prepared to walk off on whatever assignment he would be given.
((Sorry, low muse, focusing on to many things at once.))

"Tsokay, at one time that's all we were able to find and we found that they were good food. Much better than Eagle or Wolf meat at times." Coby responded.

Thank you, willowpaw mewed quietly to Stripedfur. Then she brushed past the other cats to midnightstar. Instantly, she looked over Midnightstar. It was obvious that this sickness was nothing big. A cold, most likely. Elder berries would be able to do the job.
I believe you simply have a common cold, Willowpaw said. I'll get some Elderberries for you and it should be gone in a week or so. With that, she turned back towards the medicine den to grab some of the berries.
Inside the den it was quite warm. The pungent scents of herbs filled the air, and sunlight streamed in from above. But due to it's sheltered position, it was rarely cold, for the wind could not blow inside. Looking around, she went through the various her piles. Juniper, Honey, Mint leaves, aha! the elder berries! There were not many, so she took only 2 berries back through the camp, towards her leader.
Not wanting the berries to get dirty, Willowpaw set them on a large leaf. Then Willowpaw prodded them towards her leader. It was the clan-wide signal to "eat the herbs."

Ooc; Sorry I haven't been around guys. I was sort of losing interest in the Warriors series, but after re-reading some of it I'm dying to read the rest of the Power of Three series! Consider me officially interested, even though my roleplaying may suck due to my long absence. Also, I'm a little confused since really only Willowpaw is actually paying any attention to Midnightstar, so my post might come across a little out of place.
Midnightstar sighed and tucked her paws under her chest, doing her best to ignore all the disturbances around her. What she really wanted now was to be left alone so she could go hunting. If this damn cold would just go away, the clan would stop fussing over nothing, and quit bothering her like she was some helpless little kit. She was just as strong--even stronger than some--as every cat in the clan, plus she had eight more lives than the lot of them, yet they still worried over her more than any other cat.
The black she-cat nodded her gratitude to Willowpaw when she pushed some berries sitting on a leaf towards her. Midnightstar ate the berries, if only for a little peace since she wasn't even convinced she needed them. Colds came and went, it was just like that in Leaf-bare.
Midnightstar pushed herself to her feet and cleared her throat loudly, not because she needed to, but because she wanted the others to be quiet.
"Right now I'd like you all to stop crowding my den, and find something useful to do. Stripedfur, find some willing cats and take them out hunting. Willowpaw, if you like, you can come with me to find some herbs and maybe hunt for a while. There may not be many herbs left, but leaf-bare is getting worse and it would be a good idea to take a look before all the supplies completely die out. Also I can test out your fighting skills. Medicine cats still need to be about to hold their own in battle."
Her voice was still croaky from her cold, but she spoke with the commanding tone she always used when giving out orders. She looked over at Willowpaw, raising one eyebrow in a silent question. Is that fine with you?

Stripedfur nodded. "Thank you Midnightstar." He said, and then flipped around and walked away quickly to do what he was asked. Food wouldn't be easy to get, but ok.
(Sorry, low muse...)
