Falconwind nodded. "Alright, I'll speak with Foxstar and see what I can find out. When Rabbitfoot gets back I'll also talk to him. I'll find you again when I know more. Thank you, Guardianvow," Falconwind said, rising to his paws.
Falconwind retreated across the camp. The shadows seemed even deeper to him. The moon and stars seemed far away, nothing more than cold glittering points, farther away than they ever had before. Was StarClan really watching after them from so far away. They had to be, Lavenderstar had warned him of the earthquake, they were still there for the clan.
StarClan, protect me. Falconwind made his way to Foxstar's den, his tail twitching anxiously.
"Foxstar?" He called into the darkness of the Leader's den, sending another swift prayer to StarClan for wisdom and protection. _____________________________________________________________________

LOCATION: Edge of Nightclan camp
COMPANY: Puresun
OOC: Hope this is alright Timber :3
With the full moon looming overhead, Ghostwhisper lifted his head and gazed upwards. He seemed to space out and zone out for a few seconds, which made him look as if he was engaged in deep thought and contemplating on the meaning of life. In all honesty, all he was doing was sitting in an isolated corner of the campsite, well away from the prying ears and gossipy mouths of the elders. He had caught snatches of conversations between the elders as he passed them by, and one of them even went as far as to claim that he was the one who had caused the ground to shake. If he had this sort of power, he won’t be here living the life of a regular cat, would he? Having lived his whole life believing that he was the sole cause of the sufferings of other cats, even he was beginning to doubt himself.
A few long moments later, the fur at the back of his neck suddenly prickled, and in the back of his mind he couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was being watched. The masked tom slowly turned around with wide cyan eyes, casting a wary gaze at the undergrowth at the edge of Nightclan. For some reason, he felt as if someone was watching him intently from the shadows. He warily padded forwards, his whiskers twitching as he tried to take in any scent, but came back with nothing.
He peered cautiously into the shadows of the undergrowth when he reached the edge of Nightclan, well away from any prying eyes of his clanmates. Nope, no one there. He was about to turn back and walk back to Nightclan...when suddenly, a familiar calico pelt appeared at the corner of his eyes. Ghostwhisper whisked around quickly, his cyan eyes widening even further. ”Puresun?!” If his vocal cords had been working properly, he would have yowled in shock. With his damaged throat, however, all he managed was a hoarse gasp of surprise. The calico she-cat was dead, her body was buried by layers of mud...what was she doing here?!

Foxstar twitched his tail as his deputy's voice interrupted his thoughts. He had been pacing around his den, muttering to himself. He was attempting to try and sleep to see if he could consult with StarClan, but he was restless and it frustrated him.
But as he turned his head towards Falconwind, he could detect something...odd in the deputy's eyes. He faced the smaller warrior and could sense a bit of fear from him.
Foxstar's eyes burned into the younger cat. "What seems to be the problem, Falconwind?" he asked, curling his tail around his feet.

Falconwind pushed his unease aside and entered his leader's den. He sat down across from his leader and masked his face into careful neutrality. He had to say is just right and learn as much as he could. He hadn't been deputy long, but now his inexperience seemed to be washed away. Feeling as though StarClan were truly watching over him, Falconwind cleared his throat.
"Foxstar," he began, keeping himself cool and collected. "I'd like to know what your plans are for the immediate future of the clan. With the shaking of the earth, the warriors are unsettled. I need to know what's going to happen so I can try and keep them calm."
Falconwind's mind raced to his discussion with Guardianvow. The stoic warrior had apologized to him and he'd consulted the warrior on his thoughts of the seeking out the other three deputies. He couldn't let Foxstar know of his idea. He had to stay on his leader's good side, but the way he'd been pacing... What could cause the restlessness in his leader.
"What do you need me to do?" he asked honestly. He was still deputy and under the command of his leader, he would follow whatever orders were given, even if he ended up doing his own thing on the side. He felt he sound broach the idea of the other clans having gone through something similar, but now wasn't the right time. _____________________________________________________________________

Foxstar twitched his whiskers, contemplating Falconwind's question. What had prompted the deputy to ask such a thing?
"I plan to do what is best for NightClan" he said flatly. "What else?"
He stared past falconwind, up to the starlight hazily entering the den. "We've been the laughingstock of the Clans for moons,"
he murmured, sorrow flickering across his face. "Puresun, Shatteredfang, Puresun...they were all loyal cats who ended up straying from the warrior code. And they had kittens who were half-clan...well, StarClan knows who Puresun's kittens were...nonetheless, we are becoming less of a Clan and more of the combination of other Clans. And don't get me started on the disaster that was Fathom. And Ravenstar before him was killed by StarClan."
He returned his gaze to Falconwind and continued, "I love my Clanmates, and I am not going to persecute the mistakes of their parents. I just want to prevent this kind of betrayal in the future. Why are our she-cats falling in love with cats from other Clans?"
He shook his head, sighing. "I just have no idea how to prevent it, or punish it even. It seems cruel to punish someone for an act of love, anyway."
He looked back up at Falconwind and said, "We have to become stronger, Falconwind. Right now, most of the Clans are weak, but NightClan has been dysfunctional for far too long. I wish I knew what to tell you about how to help. I was trying to contact StarClan tonight, but I can't sleep.
What do you suggest we do?"

Falconwind felt the fur along his spine rippled as he listened to Foxstar. His mother was one of the cats who had fallen in love with a tom from another clan. Then his father vanished one night. He felt a stab of anger and dismay at what his leader said, but couldn't reply. Love can't and shouldn't be punished, Falconwind thought. Do not trust us half-clan cats, Foxstar? Have I not always been loyal to you? It's not our blood that makes up the clan, it's our loyalty. Don't you see that?
Falconwind looked long and hard at Foxstar, unsure of what he should say. "I think," he began slowly, knowing he was treading on dangerous ground, "that perhaps, even though it's not the full moon, call a meeting with the other clan leaders and deputies. The earthshake was huge, it must have reached into the other territories," the NightClan deputy reasoned. "All the clans must have been effected. One clan cannot survive without the others. I think you should at least consider speaking with the other leaders."
Falconwind braced himself to be yelled at, attacked, or anything else by his leader. He knew he could be considered walking on boarder line treason. _____________________________________________________________________

Foxstar could tell his deputy was being cautious with his words, and he wondered why his deputy was being so careful. He narrowed his eyes.
"The last thing we need is for the other Clans to know how weak we are right now," he murmured. "But you are correct. The others must have been affected as well."
His eyes flashed. What if StormClan is weak, as well? he wondered, but he shook the thought away. That kind of thinking was dangerous territory.
At the very least, he could gauge how much of a threat the other Clans were, and if they were at a weak point as well, then perhaps it would be prudent to receive their aid and make some alliances.
"I beleive a meeting is certainly in order, but let us wait until Rabbitfoot returns from the halfmoon meeting," he said decisively. "StarClan may have some advice for us as well. I will see if I can arrange a meeting tomorrow."
He dipped his head slightly towards Falconwind. "Thank you for speaking with me," he said in a lighter tone. "I feel like my head has cleared a little bit. We may pull through, after all, with such bright minds leading the Clan."
As he had considered what Falconwind was saying, he realized the deputy was just worried about the Clan. Foxstar's demeanor had changed from suspicious to friendly. Flicking his tail, he asked, "Ah, and how is Silentleopard faring?"

Falconwind nodded at what his leader had said. NightClan would get through this. He felt a wave of relief was over him. Thank StarClan Foxstar was going to consider meeting with the other leaders! Falconwind agreed that they should wait for Rabbitfoot's return.
The NightClan deputy was about to tell his leader that StarClan was indeed watching over them. They had to be, Lavenderstar had come to him to warm him of the earthquake. Startled by Foxstar's change of attitude and questioning of his mate, Falconwind sat up very straight.
"She's doing fine," Falconwind said truthfully. "We are hoping to have kits." He looked away, embarrassed. He and Silentleopard really did want kits. He was still afraid that it could never be, though. With her had back legs... He had to confront Rabbitfoot about this too.
Falconwind thought briefly of what it would be like to be a father, but shook the thought away. Now was not a good time for kits to be born. With the clan in turmoil, how would they manage? He sighed audibly and looked at his paws in personal reflection. _____________________________________________________________________

Foxstar blinked in surprise. For some reason, the thought of kits had taken him by surprise. He murmured, "Well, kits are a happy thought, but do you really want to bring them into the world at a time like this?" His eyes darkened as he added, "There is something dark coming this way. I can feel it."
But then he continued, "It's your choice, though. There will be challenges they will have to face, especially when the Clans are so weak. It will be harder to protect them from danger, but it could also make them strong. My children are doing well even in the face of all of the misfortune. I don't doubt you two would raise wonderful warriors."
In that moment, they were no longer leader and depututy; they had become two tomcats thinking about fatherhood. The weight of his stresses seemed to lift for a moment as he shrugged off his duties for these precious few moments.
Sometimes I wonder if being a leader is a health hazard, he thought sourly to himself.

Falconwind looked back at Foxstar. He looked silently at his leader. "I've thought of that," he admitted, his voice becoming tired and even... defeated? "I don't know if Silentleopard can even have kits. I would do anything to protect her and any kits we may ever have!" There was no question to the determination in his amber eyes.
Shaking himself, Falconwind turned the topic away from himself and Silentleopard and asked, "How are Mudnose and the kits?"
He was honestly curious, he hadn't seen Foxstar with Mudnose lately. It was a little concerning. "Maybe you should go see her?" He suggested. This was coming from a friend, not from a deputy to a leader. _____________________________________________________________________

It’s not like Silentleopard is helpless in performing tasks any other cat can do…if anything, she’s superior to some of our clanmates…but…she just can’t move her lower body… This must be very trying for the two…uncertain as to if they’re able to have their own kits, let alone start one… I would’ve definitely regretted never knowing the wonders of being a father…what if Mudnose was just like Silentleopard…I’d be utterly devastated…
Foxstar’s blazing amber gaze took on a sheen of warmth and understanding, alien to his usual intimidating eyes of fierce golden-red flames. They held the wisdom and thoughtfulness of a parent…nothing akin to the seriousness known previously within the taut exchange between deputy and leader. Just like that. Attitudes could change. It just took the right words.
”You should go to Rabbitfoot about this if you haven’t already…of course. Er… Anyways… I’m very confident in your abilities, Falconwind. This is one of the reasons I’ve chosen you, a youth amongst several seasoned warriors, as my deputy. You’re more then capable in protecting your mate and anyone or anything you care about when put your mind and heart to it. But, regard this. You must have faith in your mate and have hope. No matter how impossible the task may be. Whether it’s likely or not for Silentleopard to kit, only StarClan knows. But, rest assured, kits or not, I’m sure Silentleopard will think no less of you and neither will the clan. StarClan exalt that the two of you become parents, because, above all else, it would be a blessing to the clan…and…honestly, I’m in no doubt that you and Silentleopard would make excellent parents. Just be sure that the time is right when doing so.”
With that, the burly warrior finished with a firm nod of approval as dark glowing amber met with bright burning amber in an unspoken moment of mutual agreement and unbreakable bonds.
Falconwind clearly wished to move the topic of discussion away from his personal life as he abruptly changed the subject matter, placing the attention on his clanmate instead.
”How are Mudnose and the kits?”
At the mention of his mate, there was no mistaking the flash of surprise, guilt, and hurt in Foxstar’s once-composed expression as he closed his eyes and opened them slowly, shaking his pelt in an attempt to rid himself of the dropping of his heart. Finally, with a twitch of his whiskers, he found his words again. Foxstar released a sigh of something similar to amusement and frustration as he opened his mouth.
”Well…for starters… Olivepaw shows potential as a warrior of NightClan…if only I could get him to understand that while it’s painful to fight and kill living things, it must be done sometimes for the greater good. He’s still afraid and dislikes battle training…he’ll freeze up in practice battles, despite his talent in agility and dodging, and fail to land a single blow…and…he isn’t doing too well in hunting either. The cat shows promise as a hunter and stalker though…but as soon as he eyes his prey beneath his paws, he guilt trips himself and lets them free. Sure, he’ll apologize sincerely and I’ll let him off, but sorry catches no prey or any fills bellies.” Foxstar’s gaze softened considerably as he continued, his tone kinder, ”If being leader’s taught me one thing, it’s patience. I’m not going to force him to do something he’s really against…so…I’m hoping that he’ll come around…he’s still young…he’ll learn… In a way, it was as if the new leader was deluding himself with the thoughts that cats could change…but would they? Not wanting to delve into the matter further, Foxstar decided it was nigh time to continue with a different cat as the topic…the thought of his son’s training had lowered his spirits as a father and mentor. He had apprenticed the snowshoe siamese to himself especially for this reason…but now wasn’t the time to think of that.
The dark ginger tom’s expression swelled with pride as he moved on to his next kit, though darkness lurked within his amber eyes. ”Scarletpaw already has the heart and skills of a full grown warrior. As far as I know, she’s giving Lionfur a run for his whiskers with the way she’s been pushing him, what, with non-stop training she’s been pushing onto him and herself. I’m certain that she’ll make a great warrior, as well as her brother, no matter what. They’re my pride and joy…”
Foxstar’s strength seemed to fade from his muse as the next subject of the topic came to past, flooding with mind with unseen dilemma. Though, already too far into the discussion, Foxstar couldn’t back down now, especially with the curiosity Falconwind made no endeavor to hide. So, he paused, as if considering his words carefully before revealing them to the waiting Falconwind…but his eyes said it all. His amber pools presented an interesting emotion that could be depicted whenever you paid enough attention…and that was insecurity…uncertainty...and something else…something unreadable…something he couldn’t feign, no matter how hard he tried. His thoughts seemed to trouble him so much that he rose from his seat and began pacing in circles while muttering incoherent nonsense to himself before his voice entered the dead silence of the dimly lit den, twin orbs glinting like troubled flames.
”Mudnose…ah…I fear she’s upset with me ever since I made no effort in punishing Scarletpaw for back-sassing and arguing with her over something…of no concern…it had something to do with an apprentice Scarletpaw got in an argument with…but it wasn’t something to get your tail in a twist about. Really… It’s funny how similar Scarletpaw is to her mother. The two have tempers that rival TigerClan’s fierceness. Must be why they fight so much… Anyways… She’s angry that I didn’t defend her and refused to discipline Scarletpaw because of it. Of course, I support Mudnose…but I couldn’t punish my daughter because of it. If anything, Scarletpaw was just behaving like a kit and I can’t punish her for being an inexperienced apprentice who doesn’t know any better. All I could really do, to be fair, was tell the two to get along better with one another. Plus, Mudnose was overreacting. I hoped she’d get over it and allow things to blow over…but it hasn’t happened. She’s still quarreling with Scarletpaw and out right ignores me… See… I want everyone to make up with one another but neither of them will let me and I don’t want to get too into the brawl that I have no business in. So…Falconwind…I…I’m not sure what to do…”
The battle scarred NightClan leader frowned, his gaze burning into Falconwind’s as he silently asked for advice…his heart unable to admit it.
After what seemed like moons of silence, Falconwind had his answer.
”Maybe you should go see her?”
”I’ve tried. She’s still avoiding me. I’m almost at the point of sending a warrior to talk to her for me…but that’s pathetic and she’d hate me more if I did that…so…Right now…to her…I’m as of much use as a dead fox…no pun intended.” Foxstar deadpanned only a heartbeat after Falconwind’s voice receded, his gaze hard as he stared at his large paws in thought.
Mudnose…Mudnose…Mudnose…I swear I've committed myself to a she-snake when I confessed to her…why do I love that pain in the tail so much again?
Foxstar slowly allowed his head to rise, facing Falconwind with a virtually hangdog smirk as he quickly apologized for himself; pained expression switching to that of a light-hearted and sheepish one in a twitch of a whisker. He seemed to just realize how late it was and reprimanded his mouse-brained self inwardly. Excuses…excuses…
”Falconwind, I apologize for taking up your time with my personal life’s troubles… I shouldn’t be keeping you here with pointless endeavors…”
His voice trailed off, ending like an apathetic hiss at the thought of telling the Nightclan deputy of his weakness… He was supposed to be the strong leader of the night who bowed to no one and always portrayed power and confidence in all that he did and proclaimed. How could he mold his clan into one that displayed eternal righteousness and magnificence that toppled the other clans and forced them to revel in the greatness of NightClan if he couldn’t even deal with his squabbling family? He’s NightClan’s leader for StarClan’s sake! Not some blubbering mouse-heart! Now look at him! Falconwind must be ridiculing him under his breath! Foxstar just knew it!
Look at yourself, Foxstar. Reduced to a lost kit crying for his mother. What happened to your confidence? Your strength? Are you incapable of solving your own family matters instead of shoving them towards someone else in the hopes that they’ll solve them for you? You fox-brained fool…▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I VϴW Tϴ LϴVΞ YϴU, MUDNϴSΞ, UNTIL MY VΞRY LΛST BRΞΛTH

H O N O RXXXX▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂XXXXD U T Y X EMBER SAYS:
Falconwind listened quietly to his leader. He was surprised that the NightClan leader's son wasn't doing too well in his training. Making a mental note to say something about it when his leader and finished telling him. He figured the young apprentice wasn't doing overly well because he was apprenticed to his own father. It would make him feel like he had to do better than the ordinary apprentices to please his father and when he'd mess up he'd feel even worse.
Falconwind kept his gaze trained on his leader, noting the pride in which he spoke of Scarletpaw. Something flickered in him. Olivepaw must be feeling out done by his sister, which could make things even harder for him because he'd think his sister was making his father more proud. Falconwind had never had any siblings, but as a kit he'd felt his father had left the clan because he wasn't good enough of a reason for his father to stay. With a twitch of his ear, the NightClan deputy made a note to also give his thoughts on this. Even if they were just talking about mates and kits, it was still his duty to advise his leader.
Falconwind hadn't realized Mudnose and Scarletpaw had been fighting, but it really didn't surprise him. He felt the slightest tinge of amusement that the great leader was being given the silent treatment by his mate, but he also felt sympathy, he could barely stand it when he didn't talk to Silentleopard for even half a day, let alone having he shun him. In his opinion the best thing for Foxstar to do would be to tell Scarletpaw she couldn't talk back to her elders without there being repercussions, Foxstar was her father after all and she should listen to him. He should also still and go see Mudnose and at lest let her know he sided with her.
He was surprised at his leader's apologies and shook his head. "Not at all, we all need to talk about what's bothering us now and again." He hesitated before continuing. Falconwind wasn't exactly sure it was his place to say this, but Foxstar needed to see third party's side of things. "I think Olivepaw's not doing well in his training is not only because he's very gently, but because your mentoring him. He likely feels a lot of pressure because of it. He's also probably feeling very out done by his sister." Falconwind gave his leader time for this to sink in before he gave his suggestion. "If you wanted, I could take over Olivepaw's training, at least for a little bit. He might do better if he doesn't feel like you're breathing down his neck."
Falconwind certainly felt like he was over stepping his boundaries here, but he continued anyways. "As for Scarletpaw and Mudnose, I think you need to sit Scarletpaw down and let her know it's not okay to talk back to her elders, it could get her in serious trouble eventually. I know my mentor got very upset with me when I would backtalk and I'd be cleaning out the elders den and searching them for ticks more often than not, then I settled down because I learned my lesson." Falconwind took a breath before continuing. He needed the courage to continue. "I still think you should go and see Mudnose. She's probably upset that you didn't verbally side with her. At least let her know you think she was in the right."
Falconwind sat quietly, waiting for this all to sink in. He wasn't sure whether to expect his ears to be clawed off or to be thanked. "I'm glad you told me, thank you," he said, dipping his head respectfully. _____________________________________________________________________

LOCATION: Edge of Nightclan camp
COMPANY: Puresun
OOC: Emo time XD
Since Ghostwhisper seemed to be the only one who could see Puresun, he might look a little odd to his clanmates, talking to a seemingly nonexistent being in the bushes. However, most of Nightclan tended to avoid him anyway, so it would not make much of a difference.
He had honestly thought that he was hallucinating when he first glimpsed Puresun in the bushes and was tempted to turn away and pretend he did not see anything, but when Puresun’s pelt gently rippled under the moonlight, he couldn’t help but stop and stare. His head tilted slightly to one side, and had it not been for his eerie pale gaze and creepy markings, it would have looked comical. Part of him had blamed himself for Puresun’s death, and this was not helped by some of Nightclan’s more superstitious elders, who loudly proclaimed that the mask-patterned tom was to blame for their clanmate’s death. As much as he knew that it could not be true, part of him still wondered. It was hard to hold true to a belief, when there would always be voices loudly jeering at you.
He was expecting a greeting, a warning, or perhaps her ghost would vanish suddenly from his sight, but instead she opened her mouth and asked him something completely unexpected: whether or not he doubted himself. Well, that was a hard question to answer on the spot. ”No, why?” He blinked and stepped closer, peering at Puresun with narrowed eyes. A greeting would have been nice, instead of a spot test question. Of course, he didn’t say that thought out loud. The “no” in his answer was definitely a lie and Puresun might know that, but he wasn’t going to admit that any time soon. ”Why are you here, Puresun? Don’t tell me Starclan has a message for me, I’ve accepted long ago that Starclan doesn’t want me in their ranks.” He may have sounded snappish without meaning to, although it was rare for him to speak this much with his painfully raspy voice, which sounds like rusty metal hinges grating against each other.
