as slatestar and kestrelflight trotted along the scent markers, they heard a rather deep, booming voice from up ahead. he - it was most definitely a tomcat - he seemed to be yowling at something that was avoiding him. "get down here, ya filthy vermin!" the cat spat, his voice echoing through the sparse trees at this end of the border. slatestar and kestrelflight exchanged a befuddled blink, amusement twitching in kestrelflight's whiskers. as they stepped underneath the skimpy excuse of shade that the trees provided, the perpetrator came into view, his forepaws braced against the trunk of a pine. he let out a deep growl, his ears flat. "come on, you little - " suddenly, he tried to lunge up the tree, his back paws scrabbling feebly. "damn squirrels must know i can't climb," he scoffed, frowning.
kestrelflight spoke up. "do you want me to, uh - " he stifled a bout of laughter as the tomcat whirled around, surprise lighting his features. "you know." kestrelflight waved a vague paw. "give you a boost?" he couldn't help it - he dissolved into giggles, slatestar keeping his own laughter in check, but just barely. the tom was still for a moment, before his face split in a grin and he erupted in raucous chuckling. "awh, right then, that must've looked real funky, i'll admit," he seemed rather friendly, his tail waving. "say, you two folks aren't some of them clan cats, are ya? i've been lookin' for some of you for ages!" his bright amber eyes flicked between the two. "you folks aren't uh - " he paused, as if - perhaps? - he was nervous. "you wouldn't be lookin' for another member by any chance? it gets, ya know, uh - lonely. 'specially during snowtime." slatestar blinked, perplexed for a moment - every other cat he'd come across, he'd had to ask them to join, not the other way around. "well, er, of course!" he beamed at the other tom. "do you have a name? it'll have to be changed, sure, when you join." the tom shuffled his paws. "well, yeah, lots of other cats call me toad." though it was unusual, the tom seemed to like the name. "alright, then, toad. follow us."

as they reached the clan's camp, slatestar leapt onto the smooth rock that made up the top of his den, noting, with satisfaction, that the hunting patrol had brought back a rabbit. he yowled out for his clan, voice echoing through the dip in the land. "all cats old enough to watch the mist appear, gather beneath flatrock for a clan meeting!" his voice was rough and scratchy, but as he spoke, he watched his ever-growing clan emerge from their various dens. slatestar coughed briefly, a frown piercing his face before he returned to his announcements. mothstep leapt up beside him, and toad was on his opposite side - he could see his clan eyeing the tom with interest.
"today i have brought back a loner who wishes to become part of mistclan," slatestar stood tall and toad puffed out his chest with pride. "toad, do you vow to protect mistclan and its inhabitants, even at the cost of your life?" toad nodded, his eyes flashing with confirmation. "i do," he answered, his deep voice rumbling. "then, with starclan's approval, i name you toadsplash." toadsplash looked extremely satisfied with his name. "welcome to mistclan." slatestar grinned, and, as he coughed again, called out that the meeting was over.
"mothstep, perhaps you and kestrelflight could patrol the borders? and toadsplash, redhawk, hunting would be wonderful. we'll need to stock up for leaf-bare." with a nod, he departed, headed towards the medicine cat den. palesun had already retreated into the tall den made of woven leaves and grass, sunlight filtering in from above. "palesun," slatestar purred, stepping inside with a swaying tail. the other tom turned, his expression lighting up at the sight of his leader. "slatestar! to what do i owe the pleasure?" palesun's bottlebrush tail was swishing cheerily, a deep purr rumbling in his chest. "i've been coughing all day," slatestar explained, his throat scratchy. palesun nodded. "right, then, i know just the trick." he drew honey from a hollowed out space in the floor, dribbled onto a leaf, which he offered to slatestar. "that should do just the trick," he chirped brightly, grinning. slatestar drank the thick, sweet liquid and immediately felt better. "thank you, palesun," slatestar rubbed his cheek against palesun's as he spoke, a purr emitting from his throat. "what would i do without you?" he asked, grooming the top of palesun's head. deep down, he knew he wasn't supposed to be feeling these things about his medicine cat, of all clanmates. but he couldn't resist it, he felt palesun's presence like an itch that he couldn't quite reach until they were close.
palesun, too, felt the draw of slatestar. his heart beat faster when the fluffy tom was around and he felt as if he were missing a limb when they were apart. "slatestar," he murmured softly, his eyes downcast and his flank pressed to his leader's. "would you, ah," there was a long pause in which palesun drew in a deep breath. "perhaps want to be my mate? i know it's forbidden, and i know we couldn't tell anyone, but - " palesun had begun speaking quickly, but cut himself off. slatestar had inhaled sharply when palesun had finished the question, and palesun's muscles were tense with the worry of rejection. "oh, palesun," he breathed, slowly. "yes, of course." with a deep purr rumbling in his throat, slatestar brushed his cheek against palesun's contentedly.
