"I know..." Fernstar sighed, thinking about the countless cats they've bumped into in the forest nowadays.
Silverfur looked up at Fernstar, pawing at the ground. "I don't know if we can trust him, Fernstar. You say you just met him for the first time in the woods and he's already begging to join our Clan? He doesn't know anything about us, and he could very well just be a RiverClan spy sent to retrieve valuable information from us. We can't play right into their paws so easily. We need to be one step ahead and we need to be able to see what's coming." She paused, closing her sapphire eyes. "One more cat, especially a weak one, won't do us much good in battles, if not harm. But, the trouble is that Arrowfire is his mate." She swallowed, opening her eyes again. "I just wish she could fall in love with a tom from
our Clan," she mumbled, then added even quieter-ly ((
