Shadestar’s Den ---> MistClan Medicine Cat Den

Mentions: @Ambra's Shadestar, @blindwoofer's Tinypaw

Though Eelpond wasn’t so sure he believed the other tom, either, the attempt at reassurance was appreciated all the same, and he couldn’t help but perk his ears up ever so slightly and twitch his whiskers at him in thanks. “Yeah. We can only try, right?” he agreed, trying to remain optimistic. He didn’t have the heart to try and argue against Shadestar’s point, in fact if anything he needed that sort of blind optimism now more than ever, so he took it on the chin, purring softly as the other tom’s nose touched his forehead. “I will, you know that. I’m always careful. Tinypaw and I will be fine.” he closed his eyes for a brief moment, desperately wishing he could stay there with Shadestar for a little while longer, curl up beside him for a moment or two and just forget any of this bad stuff was ever happening. But he knew he couldn’t, so however reluctantly, he drew back from the dark-furred tom, pushing his head under his chin briefly in thanks before he turned back towards the den entrance. “I have to go, it’ll take us most of the day to get there and I want to leave Tinypaw enough time to not feel so rushed. We’ll be back as soon as we can.”

Not wanting to delay the trip too much longer, he leapt back down and slid across the camp to re-join his apprentice in their den once more. “Oh. Did you drag that here all by yourself?” he asked, his ears coming forward in surprise. “Nice job, Tinypaw. Let’s eat up, we’ll have to get going soon, it’s a long way to walk. We should have plenty of time to make some stops to rest if you get too tired, though.” he promised, tail swishing absently from side to side. “You’ll get used to the trip eventually and we’ll be able to cover the ground faster then, but don’t feel too bad if you need to take it slowly for now, I can keep pace with you and I won’t be angry if you ask me to wait for you for a bit. Okay?”

Oh, I will ruin you
Oh, I will ruin you
It's a habit
I can't help it

I know that you mean so well
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
I will only break your pretty things
I will only wring you dry of everything
But if you're fine with that...
You can be mine
If you're fine with that
You can be mine

Spidernose perked her ears forward, waiting to see what Fernstar thought about the kittypet’s name. It was rather odd, wasn’t it, she was realising as she thought about it more. When it was mentioned that Maplestream had gone missing, the fur along the brown-and-cream she-cat’s spine rose in worry. She’d been on hunting patrol with Maplestream earlier that day. Had she not come back to camp with them? This was not good, not good at all…

As much as she wanted to help look for their lost Clanmate, however, Spidernose knew they couldn’t leave the camp undefended whilst Fernstar and Blackpelt were away at the Moonpool, so instead she dipped her head to the Clan leader and assured her.
“I think it would be best if I stayed to guard the camp, we don’t want all our warriors out on patrol, do we? Just...just in case that fox comes back or brings a friend, or something. I do hope Maplestream is alright though and we can find her...”

MistClan Camp ---> Shadestar’s Den

Mentions: @Ambra's Shadestar

As Shadestar acknowledged his request, the medicine cat dipped his chin politely, ever formal in front of the rest of the Clan, as was to be expected given his rank. As the black tom headed up to his den, Eelpond sprang up after him gracefully and ducked inside the alcove, some of his formal posture relaxing the moment they were inside, though it wouldn’t vanish completely until he was sure they weren’t being eavesdropped upon.
“I just wanted to...check in, I guess, before we start getting ready to go to the meeting.” he mumbled, glancing over his shoulder and waiting, checking for other cats.

When he was sure neither Tinypaw, nor any of the rest of the Clan had followed them up into the den, Eelpond shuffled forward slightly to push his forehead against the other tom’s gently.
“I’m worried, Shadey, and...I don’t know if I’ll come back with answers for you. But I can promise you that I’ll try my best.” the medicine cat sighed heavily, stepping back so he could sit down and wrap his tail around his paws in an attempt to stop it from lashing back and forth and giving away how worried he really was about the meeting. “If StarClan won’t talk to me...I’m hoping, maybe, they’ll talk to Tinypaw, at least. She hasn’t...done anything to make them angry.” of course, he would never blame Shadestar for the way things had happened. And he would never, honestly, regret it either. But still, the Like we have… was implied and hung heavy between them, though unspoken. “You be careful while we’re gone, alright? I don’t want to come back to a long line of injured warriors and you looking a state.” was what he said aloud instead, only half teasing.

MistClan Camp/Clan Meeting

Mentions:@blindwoofer 's Tinypaw, @Ambra's Shadestar

As Tinypaw insisted that she wanted to sit where he usually did, the black and white tom's whiskers twitched, whether in amusement or discomfort was unclear, but nonetheless he nodded and bumped her flank gently with his tail in order to guide her to the spot near the front of the gathering Clan where he usually sat. As the medicine cat, it meant he usually could find an important spot out the front, though there was also another reason that he couldn't share with anyone, not even his apprentice. Keeping those thoughts to himself, Eelpond settled next to Tinypaw, the end of his tail curling up off the ground as they watched the rambunctious Skykit skitter forward to be named Skypaw, and joined in with the chant of his new name that the Clan took up once Brindleshade joined him and Shadestar had finished speaking.

When the Clan was dismissed, Eelpond tilted his head up to look at the sky, feeling unease settle in his gut as he noted the clouds rolling in. That's not a good sign for tonight...will the clouds cover the moon? was StarClan angry? With him? Was this his fault? He was about to turn back to Tinypaw and distract himself with the purpose of preparing her for the half moon meeting, when he looked up and noticed the black tom on the Poolstone looking right at them. Eelpond exhaled a long breath, mumbled to his apprentice, "Go on back to the den and put those herbs away in the places I took them from. I need to have a word with Shadestar about the medicine cat meeting tonight." before getting to his paws and weaving his way through the crowd of cats towards the leader. "I know that look, Shadestar. Want a word?"

Spidernose ducked into camp shortly after Redleap, her ears coming forward as she nodded and began to look around for their leader, though it wasn't long before the calico was making their way towards them.
"Yes, Fernstar, he was crashing through the woods while I was trying to hunt." the warrior confirmed. "Says he's been looking for the Clan. Do you know him at all?"
