"Squirrelwhisker," she meowed. "You've been a warrior for a long time."

"Calling out my age when I'm too sleepy to claw your eyes out? Well played."

"I mean that you've been part of a lot of patrols. Like. A criminal amount of patrols. And you're, well, you. You must've caused plenty of fights."

Squirrelwhisker cracked an eyelid, unimpressed.

"How do I start a fight?" Weaselstar asked in one big mush. "With all the issues with ThunderClan, and prey starting to peter out, I just need... ShadowClan has to take a stand. How do I do that?"

"Have you tried yelling 'fight me bitch!' and punching the first warrior you can?" Squirrelwhisker replied. "Always worked for me."

"I'm pretty sure leaders aren't supposed to cuss."

"Yesterday you told the sky to fuck off when it rained on patrol."

"I'm not supposed to cuss around the other Clans," she amended.

Chapter Title: Wassup homeboys just gonna. Double ur Clan.

Excerpt:

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Weaselstar asked.

"They're old enough to cross on their own," Pringles meowed calmly. He'd joined her on the sprint across the Thunderpath, meeting Ted and Partridge in the field. Across the way, Ice Cube was explaining the road to the kittens. "'Sides, it's late. No cars are gonna be out this late."

Weaselstar swallowed heavily. She didn't know an exact age on the kits, true, but they didn't even look four moons yet.

To her dismay, they went- not at full pelt, not even at a jog, but at a casual stroll, one following the other following the other, with Ice Cube walking beside the one at the head; Pavementkit. "'Sides," Pringles repeated, not catching on to Weaselstar's private horror, "It's kinda cute to see them trying to look like the Beetles."

Loner parenting is hardcore.

Sorry for the delay! I was trying to decide what all interactions I wanted to have in the single night. I felt it best for Squirrelwhisker to go stew in her juices a bit, bc I feel like after talking to Hootpaw she'd be all like "FINE I guess NO ONE cares what I think" and sulk for a bit. This will not last, of course lol.

Next chapter is gonna be primarily set in-camp, and miiight lead up to a flashback? I'm not entirely sure yet.
