//Perhaps Sunset could find Fog in the surgeon's den? He could speak to her about tribe life. Anyone that is open, could you interact with Fog? Fog was just found after a shipwreck and has to be introduced and shown around basically <3
Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow had expected her to attack. His back legs were bent at the knee, prepped for additional weight to fall onto him. He waited until her pounce was almost right ontop of him before springing attempting upwards with all his strength. If he coordinated it properly, it should send Fading toppling over onto her back; however, if the attack failed, he would be hit hard on the thick of his shoulder. He landed on firm paws, whipping around to face his opponent with a new light in his eyes. Fighting was an adrenaline rush for him. It was like catnip on fire in his mind,sending him into overdrive. His unsheathed claws caught the gleam of the sun. "That the best you got, darling?" he sneered, keeping light on his paws for another pounce. Shadow was fast and kept his eyes locked with his opponents. The eyes were the point that most often gave away the enemy's next move.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
The tom's eyes widened in surprise as Shallow retold her tale. "That's horrifying . . ." he muttered under his breath, shaking his head solemnly. "Is he still in control of the tribe? Have you told anyone of what he has done?" Tempest questioned with more frequency now, wondering if this was the breaking point for Shadow. Tempest had always thought of Shadow as a ticking time bomb, waiting to go off at the right time. He was unsure as to why Little would come to him for these issues. She had been the first to turn her back on him, and she had blamed him for her unhappiness with the rank of boatswain. Tempest wished that he had known how unhappy Little was to begin with. He would have explained to her that, with life, higher ranks needed to be worked for. Many former leaders, lieutenants, gunners, and much more started off as boatswains because they knew how the tribe best. They knew what needed to get done; who could do that job the best; and knew every single feline in the clan by name. It was a harder job than most realized.
Tempest was taken aback by the little kit known as Flower's reaction to being introduced. It was strange, as if she preferred his presence rather than her own mother's. "She does not seem too excited to be out and about." he stated with a chuckle, though there was a serious undertone in its depths.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower went quiet as everyone gathered around the new faces coming to relieve them. She was so exhausted that she felt numb all around. Her eyes drooped, and she was tempted to just lay down and sleep right then and there.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
When Light admitted that it was all a test, her vivid amber eyes widened in disbelief. A spark of anger flared in her chest when Light said they had failed, but she kept her maw closed. Ice was beginning to inspire her to stand up for herself a bit more, but she knew that she was just an apprentice; Ice was at least a semi-high rank. She had to admit that Ice took it a tad too far with her next comment. " I don't need a test to prove my loyalty to the true Tribe of the Black Pearl." Despite Light's refusal to allow them to participate in the investigation, she knew he was just trying to protect them. He had good intentions, but he had to understand that in these desperate times, drastic measures had to be taken.
Flower took a step back in surprise when Light had Ice pinned. She immediately felt guilty, wishing she had never mentioned anything about the investigation. If Ice got into serious trouble because of her, she would never forgive herself. Consequently, things took a turn for the better. Light stated he would speak to them about the clues found. How he had changed his mind so quickly was unknown to her, but a flicker of excitement made her smile without thinking. Ice even included her in the deal to let her hear the clues as well. She cast her a look of appreciation and thankfulness, feeling as if she was making a friend she could truly rely on.
Flower was surprised to be thanked for Light as well for her silence, but was it truly a win on her part? She felt as if she had let Ice down by now saying anything during the conversation. She was just so stunned to see what was happening; she had not even considered backing up Ice at all. She was reassured that Ice was not angry with her when she noticed the look she gave. Even though Flower had not known her for that long, she remembered seeing her look that way during their conversation about the nightmare. She stepped forward, pelt lightly brushing against Ice for support. "Thank you, Light. I appreciate the faith you have in us." It was a half-hearted comment. Light made it up to Ice and her though by calming down, reassuring the there were no hard feelings on their part. "Where are we heading? Who else is helping with . . . y'know?" she questioned with renewed enthusiasm, looking around to make sure no one was listening in. There was a joyful air about her, sticking alongside Ice as they headed towards the lieutenant's room.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
//aaaah, I posted this too soon. didn't see Jackal's post yet
The first words she heard were from Crow, who quickly summarized what happened. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. A loud humming in her ears blocked out the gasps from her fellow patrol. It was as if she was about to faint, but on the contrary, her senses felt more alive and ready for action. She caught the question from Flame, directed to Flower, and nodded her head in understanding. They needed Rain to get here right away, or perhaps . . . would it be better to get her back to camp? Fire beat her to it. "All of us together could carry her, but we need someone to scout ahead along the beach. There is no way we could get her up and over the cliff, so we are going to have to follow the beach down for as far as we can."
