Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow circled along with her to keep from her gaining control of his flank or backside, not realizing what she had in mind. The cliff shot seamist up from along the side, dappling his tabby coat in tiny droplets. The ocean below made the rock slippery, which is why he constantly kept his claws unsheathed to maintain balanced. He thought of using the cliff behind him as an advangtage, and even started to formulate a plan of his own. If Spark pounced on him like she had done previously, then he could send her flying over the cliff by rolling onto his back and pushing her forward with his back legs. The momentum would carry her right over the edge. It was a plan designed to kill, and he was fully prepared to do so.
"Howl? I remember now. All you ever were was a traitor. A low-life, useless, no-good piece of foxdung." The words rolled off his tongue in a fury, shooting metaphorical daggers into the air.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest was not surprised when the Little imposter said that Shadow did not care for her anymore. He had known his true personality from the beginning, and it frustrated him that others had not seen it sooner. A feline like Shadow was just a mistake waiting to happen. He glanced down at the two kits under his paws, and he noticed mixed feelings between the two. Tiger appeared to be upset over Shallow leaving them, while Honey was visibly relieved, yet somewhat angry. He was confused as to why Honey was not acting more like her brother, but decided not to think much of it.
Tempest turned to Darkness as he stuck to his guns by saying Shallow could not leave yet. It was frustrating to say the least. There was no point in keeping her when she had already revealed her reason for coming. He kept an eye on Doubloon, realizing he might be keeping an eye on the situation to ensure Little did not bolt. Tempest cursed silently under his breath. Little matched his expectations, turning to leave despite Darkness's protests. The leader, despite his frustrations at being given orders from an Outcast, gently scooped up Tiger. He assumed he would be the one to fight the most. "Will do." he muttered through his fur, gently using his tail to guide Honey along as well. The black tom headed towards the place Darkness indicated; he had familiarized himself with the territory a bit.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower looked up stubbornly as her mentor came over to give her a pep talk. "I'm fine," she stated miserably, dragging herself to her paws with the help of Fire tugging on her scruff. "I can walk on my own." Flower shied away from Fire's touch, wanting to prove that she could do everything on her own. If Crow and Minnow were doing alright, then she certainly would act the part as well. In reality, Flower was just shocked. The experience with Flame had ebbed her energy, both physically and mentally. Some felines just handled things differently. She thought longingly of curling up in her nest beside Tide, but knew that it would have to wait. Flame was their first priority right now. Flower was, however, quietly glad that Crow offered to find the surgeons. She was not going to argue against it this time; she was too exhausted to give it much thought.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
"Wait, me? She was referring to me?" Flower stated in an oblivious tone, eyes wide in slight fascination. She had no idea that her love for the daily news around camp would ever prove to be useful. It was a strange thought to be honest. The she-cat shuffled her paws in an embarrassment manner by Light's reaction, feeling as if she did not deserve all his attention. She loved to be noticed, but recently her self-esteem had been at an all-time-low. "Thanks Light." she piped up earnestly, eyes blinking upwards with a grin touching the tips of her maw. Her ears swiveled around on their axis when Ice pointed out that she had found something in the fur. She rose to her paws to look for herself, head tilting eversoslightly to the side with amazement. "I have no idea how you saw that . . ." her voice trailed off, eyes squinting to get a better look at the lightly colored piece. "Could it not be Moon's fur as well? She had grey fur, but that can be mistaken for white if faded?"

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream glanced towards the apprentices around them when Wave asked who should scout ahead. She assumed that the older members would be the strongest, making the young apprentices more agile in their speed and agility. Minnow, Crow, and Flower were available, and all of which would be decent in tracking down Rain. Flower, however, looked dejected; Minnow appeared to be frustrated; and Crow was obviously concerned. Thankfully, Minnow took action by questioning who the strongest or the fastest was. Stream did not see herself as any of those things, so she remained quiet.
Stream was taken by surprise when Flame thanked them all. "There's no need to thank us, Flame. You would do the same for all of us, I am sure." she commented immediately, wanting to reassure her that everything was going to be okay. The tribe would help her get through this together. Stream was thankful to see Crow step forward to search for the surgeons as well. Everyone was banding together, and it was truly a beautiful sight. Stream was slightly more reserved about crowding around Flame, wanting to give her some room. She was impressed by the kindness exhibited by Jackal though. If she was in the same situation as Flame, those are the words she would want to hear: You're a strong cat, and when you're all healed, you can tell everyone that you survived a boulder falling onto you. You can't get more tough than that.
"We need to hurry. By my guess, we have a small window of time before the tide swallows up this little sandbar. We have to be careful not to make any rash decisions." The she-cat was fully prepared to start moving Flame on up the cliff-side.
Stream got in position behind Flame, ready to take up the rear whenever she was lifted up. "Who is going to take up the other three spots for the first go?"
