Think I’m gonna have both Dark and Snow mentor Lily so that way they can take shifts on watching her.

Here’s some thoughts I’m having for Ripple.
• As captain, Tempest has to decide how harshly to interrogate Ripple. Does he let the gunner or lieutenant take charge, or does he personally try to get the truth?
• If Ripple claims he wanted to help Lily but did not act quickly enough, some cats might sympathize, while others see it as a coward’s excuse. Snarl might push hard for exile or punishment, arguing that a true ally would have done something.
• The tribe will likely hold Ripple under guard while they decide his fate.
• Some might suggest giving Ripple a chance to prove himself through a test of loyalty—perhaps by giving him a task that would pit him against the rogues, a trial by combat, or some kind of dangerous task—if they’re interested in staying at least.
• If the rogues show no interest in retrieving Ripple, it could mean they see him as expendable or a liability. However, if Nyx demands his return, it suggests he still holds value to him—whether as an informant, a fighter, or for reasons unknown. The tribe could use this to their advantage, offering to trade Ripple for information, resources like prey or medical supplies, or even leverage the situation to force a meeting with Nyx. But if Ripple is truly a spy, Nyx might see him as compromised and choose to abandon him—or worse, send rogues to silence him. If the rogues come looking for him, Ripple might be forced to either fight alongside the tribe or reveal his true colors. Alternatively, if the tribe attempts to return Ripple to Nyx, this may leave the patrol open for an ambush.
• If Ripple’s loyalty is still uncertain, would he try to break out? Or would the rogues attempt to rescue him, potentially forcing him to choose a side?
What are y’all thinking?
