Silvertail An elder of the clan members spoke after Badgerstar finished. "What will we do if we go to war, Badgerstar? What will we do if we fall to the paws of Specklestar?" The tom was an older silver tabby with scraggly fur. His whiskers were short and his ear was torn. He had been a senior warrior many moons ago before losing much of his eyesight to old age. Silvertail walked through the throng of cats to the stump, before slowly climbing up onto it. He looked Badgerstar in the eyes, his own foggy with cataracts. Onesight The medicine cat watched the following interaction with intensity. She leaned down to Nettlepaw and whispered, "That was to be the deputy before Sabersnow. Silvertail has seen much of the region and has seen war before. Listen to him with care, my little one." Sabersnow & Brambleflower Saber felt threaten by the elder coming up onto the stump of the meeting grounds, but Bramble put a paw on his back to soothe him. "Relax, Saber... What can he do?" "Who knows, but I don't want to deal with him questioning Badgerstar. He retired too long ago to think this battle will be the same as the ones he has faced. The leader of Pineclan is different now.." |

Nettlepaw Her ears perked as Onesight regarded her, and she nodded, listening intently to the conversation taking place between the leader, and the elder.Badgerstar As Silvertail approached, Badgerstar stayed rigid; unwilling to give up his spot on the stump, but respectful of the elder all the same. He looked towards Silvertail with a conflicted gaze. "We will be prepared to defend Oakclan with everything we have, Silvertail." he answered, the stump of his tail flicking. "So long as I live, I will not allow Specklestar to topple Oakclan. This has been our home for generations. Specklestar is nothing like the previous leader of Pineclan; he is young and ambitious, too eager to disrespect the boundaries that we have long since set in place." He shook his head. "What do you propose exactly, Silvertail? We cannot simply allow this to keep happening." |

Silvertail "Make the first move," he whispered to Badgerstar before hopping back down to weed through felines to the elders' den. Onesight She already knew his words even if she could not hear them. Silvertail had been an ambitious, strong warrior with a tactical mind. She leaned down to Nettlepaw and shared them. "He said for us to make the first move. What do you think of that?" Sabersnow He was already on his feet, filled with rage. He did not move, but waited for Badger's orders. |

Badgerstar Badgerstar's ears flicked back, his gaze lingering on Silvertail as the elder weaved through the crowd of cats; for a brief moment, uncertainty crossed the cat's face, before his brows furrowed, and he regained his poise. "This meeting is adjourned. Let all cats remember what has been said today." Although his voice was confident as he ended the meeting, he... needed time to think. Starclan had not warned him to begin a war. They had warned him of a war; and yet, Silvertail made a good point. If they were the first to strike... there was no way they could get caught off guard. Had the same suggestion been made many moons ago, to a newly appointed Badgerstar... he might have jumped at the thought. Nettlepaw As Badgerstar left the stump, she looked up towards Onesight. "That would start a war for sure, though." she mewed softly. "But... we wouldn't be caught off guard, right? Is that why he said that...?" |

Sabersnow He rushed to Badgerstar's side. "What did he say? I will not have him disrespect you if he did." Sabersnow was just a touch over protective of his friend, but it was endearing. His ears were back and his tail was lashing. Onesight "Correct. I wonder how this will pan out for Badgerstar." Onesight lifted her head high above the moving sea of cats to see the leader and deputy chatting. She shook her head and turned back to the apprentice. "Let us go back to our den." |

Badgerstar Badgerstar seemed troubled as Sabersnow rushed to his side; the large cat shook his head. "He did not, you can relax, Sabersnow." he assured his companion; glad for his worry, if nothing else. "But... he proposed that we attack Pineclan, before they attack us. I don't want to start a war, Sabersnow; but... if we get the jump on Pineclan first..." he trailed off. Nettlepaw The young she-cat frowned, unable to see over the sea of cats, but nodded in return. "Okay, Onesight... I hope there won't be too much fighting..." She raised herself up to her paws, moving to follow her mentor. |

Sabersnow The grey tom looked confused. He understood that attacking first had its advantages, but he didn't understand the want of the old tom to have blood on everyone's paws. Sabersnow shook his head, relaxing a little. "I suggest we hold off on this idea of attacking for the moment, and maybe just prepare. It would keep our warriors safer. We will need all paws ready before anything." Onesight "Oh, there will be much blood shed if Specklestar does not learn his lesson. I wish for their medicine cat to guide him, but alas I don't know if they will." She shook her head, slipping into the den. |
