Shadow That Dances at Night
A wave of understanding came over him. "You are the mother of --" he paused, contemplating on the name he had heard before,"Ah! Fox." He thought over the new information, bemused by the fact he was really being confronted by an angry mother. "It is true. Fox helped deliver my own kits. He would make a decent surgeon; however, you must admit that he probably lacks in hunting or fighting skills. That is why some choose to go down the path of medic, is it not? Plain unexperienced and unable to get the hang of true skills?" Shadow kept on his paws, wary of her corresponding hostility.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest had stirred in his sleep at the sound of a yowl in the distance. Upon first inspection, he thought that Raven had returned from her outage on the peninsula, but as the shape got closer, he noticed a distinct calico pattern. His maw dropped open in confusion, memories flooding back to him at a thousand per second. He immediately shuffled his way onto his paws, wobbly from having just woken up minutes before. A fiery warmth was spreading throughout his body, prepared for an attack when -- wait, kits? Is she carrying kits with her? The nearer she got, the more he could make out two little bodies wobbling along with her. A hollow feeling gnawed at his stomach, and this time it was not merely due to his hunger. He strode forward a few fox-lengths to meet her, eyeing her suspiciously all the while. "Little? Why have you come?" Tempest questioned a little awkwardly, knowing full-well she was the reason for his exile in the first place. He was almost positive that she had been the true killer of Moon. It was either her or Shadow.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower heeded Fire's request, attempting to grab Flame by the scruff to fully get her out of the way of the fallen boulder. The angry comments from Crow were quickly forgotten, and Flower thought little of it. If Crow had done what she did, she would have been upset and confused as well at first. Her determination paid off in the end. She plopped herself down on the sand, staring at the group in front of her with a heaving chest. Flame was safely out of the way of the boulder -- thank Arcadia. "We did it." she sighed outwardly.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
"We're doing great! Ice wanted to speak to you about something." she stated with an excited bounce, taking a step back for Ice to come forward. Perhaps she would get all the details of the Tempest investigation? Hopefully they would not send her away to get back to her apprentice chores.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream took Jackal's words to heart about keeping an eye out for their surroundings. She would not take her eyes off the ground in front of her, searching for paw prints or tufts of fur to keep on the trail. The closer they got to the cliffs the more faded the scent became; it had already begun to wash away. "I'll be happy to see them." she commented about Jackal's suggestion to not worry, still fretting over the possibilities. Stream was protective of the tribe. She felt obligated to know everyone's name and keep up-to-date on how everyone was doing. If anyone needed her to take their position on patrol one day, she would offer herself up for the job. It was a matter of her unconditional love for those that accepted her and treated her with respect within the tribe. As they got closer, she picked up the fear scent along with Wave. "We must be close." Stream picked up the pace, picking her way carefully around openings in the cliff side that threatened to swallow up a cat that was not paying attention. She kept glancing over the edge, half-expecting to see the patrol had fallen down there. The whole patrol could not have fallen. Someone would have been able to make it back to camp . . .
