Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow stalked his way up to stand beside Spark, eyes flashing with resentment towards the apprentice. "Go back to camp, or I will personally ensure that you never become a sailor," he threatened, hoping she would just walk away. They did not need these interuptions. It was either they both died, or Diana walked away with her life -- her choice.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest was confused by Leaf's resentment to leave. He glanced down at the little bundle, head tilted at an angle. Leaf had been the one that was so adament about staying with their mom, yet now when they are set to return, he refuses. He glanced up at Star with a sympathetic nod of his head. Leaf was probably just too tired to get up at the moment.
When Doubloon questioned him, he pointed with his tail towards Star,"She is taking them back to camp; however, I think Tiger --
I mean, Leaf -- has other ideas."

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower watched quietly as Flame was brought up the side of the cliff, noticing the smile directed towards her. She shuffled her paws awkwardly, keeping her eyes cast downward in shame. She knew that she should be helping more somehow, but no one had asked for her help yet. Even Minnow was making an effort, while she just happened to tag behind in case Flame was dropped again. She watched in amazement as Fire began to pull Flame up the ledge. Flower had no idea how she would pull that off if that was her. Fire was obviously a more experienced sailor, but she could never imagine herself doing something so heroic. The patrol was quite literally pushing Flame out and over a cliff.
Flower nodded to Wave when she asked if everyone was alright, wishing she could sink through the floor and pretend she was not present. She was ashamed. Flower found herself standing beside Jackal who was also watching for a trip or a slip-up. They had made it through the worst part. Getting Flame up the rest of the cliff meant just a series of ledges, which would be time consuming but not as dangerous.
Flower blinked in surprise when Fire asked her to help on the last ledge. She had a moment of doubt for herself, but shook it off. The she-cat bounded up the ledges, careful not to slip on their wet surface. Her paws skidded a few times in her growing excitement to be of use, but she eventually came to a halt beside Fire. "I am ready!" she piped up with new enthusiasm to be helping Flame; her old aches and pains practically forgotten. This was the last edge. She would be helped in no time with Seagull's arrival.
She grasped Flame's scruff alongside Fire, assisting in pulling her up the rest of the way to the top of the cliff. They had done it. It was finished.
Flame is officially on top of the cliff now if that is okay with everyone? <3

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower looked to Light when Ice asked about Tempest. Light was close with Tempest from her understanding. I mean, he would not have been chosen by Tempest for lieutenant if they did not trust each other. A problem arose in her mind though. Light cannot leave camp. There are patrols to arrange, and he is also temporary leader in the eyes of the tribe. How would he have time to leave with all these responsibilities? "Light, would you be able to do it, or maybe . . . is there anyone that is close to Tempest?
Like any relatives?" Stream was his half-sister, but she did not even consider the she-cat. They were not very open about their blood ties.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream looked up in surprise as Crow returned with Seagull. She guessed that the apprentice was unable to track down either Rain or Fox. It was a shame considering that it was Shadow's fault for that mishap. If the two were not ordered regular sailor duties, then they would be waiting in camp for potential injuries. Shadow was the one that said they must act differently.
