Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow shook his head quietly in response to breakfast, knowing he will grab something to eat as soon as he takes care of business with the tribe. He did, however, appreciate the fact Fox asked, finding it respectful for the surgeon apprentice to do so. His lobes reflected around to listen to Little as she spoke about Leaf, glancing down at the tom with a faint grin coating his tabby features. He was a smaller set tom, and he was feared by many. Size was merely a factor when it came to battle; how one maniuplated that factor was the true test of skill. "They are all strong." he mewed to please Little, though he knew it was true. Silver was going to keep her claws sharp, and Song should not be afraid to push her other siblings around. Leaf would have to work twice as hard to keep pace with the two, but that could lead to either a make or break type of situation. No kit of his would give up under pressure, not with him around.
Shadow was more than appreciative to Little when she returned with prey for him as well. Birds were some of his favorites because their fragile bones were hollow. He enjoyed hearing the snap and crunch as he ate. (This is so dark, omg.) The tom had planned to eat after the meeting, but the extra energy was doing him some good. "Thanks, love." he commented in return, digging in to his morning meal. Watching Song bat at the prey made him take an educated guess at her being an efficient hunter. Recognizing the scents was an important part of hunting. One did not want to scent a rabbit, and then wander upon a badger. "The rabbits are all running to their dens now." Shadow was bemused by the attack, watching with proud eyes. He, additionally, approved of how wonderful a mother Little was being. It was as if she had no memory of the attack on Moon, which was great in his opinion. Moving on from past experiences was a great way to stay on task, especially when that past experience involved brutally taking the life of a kit. Shadow glanced up at Little with an innocent twitch of his whiskers as Leaf wandered up to him. "Boys will be boys, no?" he chuckled slightly, pushing his bird towards Leaf to see what he thought of the prey. Silver also caught his attention with her tiny crawls pricking his skin, and he encouraged it by not scolding her for the behavior. Why would he? Shadow felt calmer with Leaf snuggled up beside him, enjoying the little bundle of warmth he provided. He felt as if he had seen Leaf's eyes open already, but it was only a split second reaction before he was curled back up in his fur.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest nodded his head in reply to Raven's tree suggestion, though he kept quiet about his own worries about the plan. If he was near the trees, would it not be easier for Raven to lose sight of him if he was dragged into the shadows? Spirit was always there for him at least. They protected each other, and he would, as he has stated before, lose a life for her if the situation called for it. Tempest made his way to the treeline, hoping Spirit was following behind him. He settled down under the dark canopy reaching out towards the clearing, reveling in the way the moon shone through the branches of the palm trees.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower quietly wondered where Tide might be hiding out at. Had he forgotten about her? The thoughts skimmed through her mind during the conversation with Minnow, making her a tad distracted. She looked up when the silence caught her attention. Flower made up by quickly saying,"Uh, yeah! Hunting does not sound too bad." She despised hunting; and fighting; and anything that involved any sort of skill. "Did you not sleep well?" Flower asked, rising to her paws to sit beside Minnow while he groomed. It was awkward holding a conversation from across the room. "I did not even see Tide leave this morning."

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream was on her way out of the entrance to the ship when she nearly stumbled over a small kit. Her eyes widened in response, taking a few small steps back to accommodate her stunned reaction. She looked in both directions, confused for a moment as to what was going on. After a moment of silence, she asked quietly,"Are you new here? What is your name, little one?" The ginger and white tabby she-cat was nothing to be afraid of. If anything, she appeared to be more-so of a giant cuddly bear, having a thicker fur than most. She did not intend to scare Dawn if she accidentally happened to do so.
