"No, i'm fine. Deal with cats who are more wounded than me." He looked at the body of Tigerblood and sat down, closing his eyes. A look of concentration came across his face as he ascended to StarClan.
"Yewstar." the disgruntled lithe she-cat said, dipping her head to the blood-spattered tom.
"Leopardstar." he said in greeting, smiling at the she-cat.
She interrupted him before he could say anything more. "So, you want to give one of your lives for the rogue who stole Raggedheart's kits and almost destroyed SnowClan?" she asked. "Are you sure that is wise?" she asked, blinking her copper-colored eyes. Yewstar hesitated. When Leopardstar put it into perspective, his decision seemed crazy. But the tom shrugged, smiling freely at the StarClan she-cat.
"What can I say? I've never been a wise cat." he said, purring.
"Very well." Leopardstar said, reaching into Yewstar's heart and taking one of his four lives. She gathered the soul of Tigerblood, just starting to ascend to StarClan, and pushed Yewstar's life-force into his starry form.
"It is not yet your time, little one." she crooned, gently pushing the soul back into Tigerblood's body.
Yewstar gasped as he awoke back on the ground, and rushed over to Tigerblood's body, anxious to see if it had worked.
