“Hi! Hello! I’m Lobeliafur, and I think Starclan sent me here? I’m a little unsure of whether this is the right place or not! It’s quite a long way from where I came from before. I’m also unsure if Starclan really meant me, as I only just became a warrior anyway, and I’m not especially talented at anything, I’m only a –fur cat! Oh, Starclan, should I have not said that? I’ll be very grateful if you want me, especially after that. Sorry-“
It was at this point that Heronstar finally decided it was appropriate to interrupt her. Heronstar was sure that if she was left to keep talking, she’d continue until she died of thirst. “It’s alright. You wouldn’t be a warrior if you weren’t skilful. Being a –fur cat just means that you’re reasonably good at everything, and I’m more than happy to have a cat like that if Starclan thinks you’re a good match for Gustclan.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! You’re Heronstar, right? Thank you! I promise I’ll be a good warrior!”
Lobeliafur only briefly stopped talking on the whole walk home.

“Has anyone ever climbed up there before?” Droserapaw asked, sitting on his haunches on the shoreline. He was sitting as close to the cliff-face as he could while making looking at the top not strain his neck.
Myrtleclaw looked after him, following his apprentice’ gaze. He froze for a second, terrified at the very idea of what could have happened to any cats who had. “I don’t think so.”
“Can you teach me how to climb, so I can climb up there first?”
“You could just walk up the slope.”
Droserapaw’s tail flicked impatiently, and excitedly, at the same time. “But climbing up and down it quickly could be a huge advantage in a battle! If you could dart straight up to the top to escape from enemy warriors, you could have entirely lost them by the time they got up there.”
“Hmm.” Myrtleclaw considered his apprentice’ thinking, and realised it was sound, though not just for battles. If there was a big flood, they could escape up there. If they wanted to look out for enemy movements, potentially staying close to the rocks near the top could be a good spot. If a kit got stuck up a tree… well, if a cat could climb all the way up there, they could definitely save the kit. “Alright. But we’ll start with something simple, first. I don’t think you’ve even mastered climbing up normal trees, have you?”
Droserapaw pouted at this poor evaluation of his skills. Unfortunately for him, it was accurate. He hadn’t done much climbing at all yet.
-----
Boulderdash had left the kits behind in the nursery so she could discuss resuming her normal warrior duties with Heronstar, and had left Shellpaw in charge of the kits while she was gone. Droserapaw and Myrtleclaw were still training (they must have had lofty ambitions for Droserapaw in whatever skill it was), and Harrierpely had gone out to gather herbs. Shellpaw was more than happy to take over the job. “When Elmkit was still very young, there was a frog in camp.”
“What sort of frog?”
“A shiny, pretty one with brown, lumpy skin and a green neck that went “rib’it” right through the night!” Nettlekit giggled, and made a loud ribbit noise. Sparrowkit gave her the evileye, trying to sleep. “So the elders got really fed up with it! They said “we can’t sleep! There’s a frog in our den!”” It was pretty obvious from Shellpaw’s tone that he was making it up as he went along, but Nettlekit didn’t seem to notice.
“Why didn’t they catch the frog?”
“It was too slippy for them, and it would… it would look bad if an elder couldn’t even catch a single frog! …er… Sootstripe? Tried to catch it, and he fell on his face, and got a nasty scratch from the sticks in his den. None of the elders wanted to do the same thing! So they asked “Will anyone catch this frog for us, so we can sleep?!” And all the other cats said “No, I have more important things to do!” Er… Birchheart said “I have to train this apprentice who died too young!” and, er…. Silverleaf said “I have to talk to Harrierpelt, the medicine cat!” and, erm… Daisyclaw said “I need to go hunting!”. But the elders and Soot… fur was it? Sootfur kept asking about which cats could go until eventually, er…”
“Betonycloud.” Sparrowkit suggested, seemingly getting annoyed at Shellpaw’s long pauses coming up with names.
“Betonycloud, thanks, said “I know who could help! There’s a kit I’m looking after, and she doesn’t have anyone to play with! I think Elmkit should catch the frog.” Elmkit over-heard this and decided to catch the frog to show off! She kept trying to catch the frog, but it kept getting away! She chased it into the bush, but it kept croaking! She chased it across the ground, and it kept going! Eventually it plopped into the river, and Elmkit thought that it was all dealt with, because it would be able to get back to camp from there, but… Elmkit was lost!”
The youngsters had been so involved in Shellpaw’s story, they hadn’t noticed as Boulderdash and Heronstar sat down to the side of them all again. “Well, I know ‘ho ta go to if I wan’ story-telling. You’re pretty good at i’, Shellpaw.”
“He really is.” Shellpaw folded in on himself in embarrassment from the compliment.
