Willowfire sat on a lower branch in the owl tree. It was one of the more comfortable ones, and she came here whenever she needed to think. This new alliance with Shadowclan annoyed her very much. "No good will come out of this." She thought. Why couldn't anyone see this? When would Shadowclan leave already? "Stupid, Shadowclanners. Think they're so great." She muttered to herself. She was in the mood for arguing today, so when she looked down to see the bushes rustle, and to see a cat emerge: she almost smiled-
Almost.

OOC - Hello....
Emberpaw looked up at Willowfire and spat out a mouthful of herbs before speaking.
"Hello. Why are you here? You haven't seen a ShadowClan kit by any chance, have you? Lilykit loves to sneak out."

The she-cat looked down, "Oh. Its you." She meowed. "No, I haven't seen her; which is good- for her." Willowfire replied. She didn't like kits, and she especially didn't like this kit.

Emberpaw sat down and curled her tail around her paws. She had been in the forest all day, and really wanted someone to talk to. However, she had no clue how to go about it.
"So...you don't like kits? Or do you just not like ShadowClan cats?"

"Tch. To tell you the truth: I don't like either." Willowfire looked at the apprentice. "Why do you care about this kit anyway? I mean, what do you get out of it?"

Emberpaw looked up, her blue eyes startled.
"What do I get out of it? I've...never thought of it that way. I mean, she's a kit, and I'm an apprentice, so I should care about her. That's the way clans work." she meowed, her voice turning from shocked to confused.

Willowfire didn't say anything, she just turned her head and looked foward. "The warrior code states that a clancat must help a kit in need no matter what clan they are from. But if this Lilykit insists on going on by herself, then she is showing that she's not needy. When she is in pain, or in active danger, that is when we intervene, so why waste your time looking for her now?"
OOC: Ember's in TC, right?

OOC - Yeah, it's in my siggie.
"I just worry about her, that's all. She's immature, and I know she has some type of breathing problem." Emberpaw meowed. "But nevermind that. Do you think you'll get an apprentice soon?"
You, Emberpaw, are a mousebrain at changing the subject. You'll be lucky if she doesn't hit you.

Willowfire narrowed her eyes at the apprentice, but not out of spite. No, these eyes held curiousity and hid behind them an analyzing mind. "By the way she changed the subject like that, she probably feels uncomfortable, but she still insists on talking, so she's pretty desparate. Hmmm. With a little work, she might make a good spy." But instead, the she-cat meowed, "I hope. Thunderclan needs more warriors. Shadowclan is sucking us dry like a leech to a fish. After this the other clans will, no doubt, presume that we're to weak to defend our borders, and take the opportunity to attack. Anyway, as long as Shadowclan doesn't try and drag us into their problems more than they already have, I got no problem... For the most part."

Emberpaw's eyes changed from shameful to guarded.
"What do you mean by 'for the most part'?" she asked, making her voice curious, as she was curious, but also listening carefully. Never let it be said that Emberpaw wasn't a good listener.

"You're kidding- right?" Willowfire meowed. "They bring their whole clan here, leech offa our territory, then make no plans to leave anytime soon? Nowhere in the warrior code does it say we must help a clan in need; that little detail was assumed over time by soft-hearted leaders who tried to be nice. Mark my words: Thunderclan and Shadowclan have never allied with eachother before; and there's a reason. And if you think I'm the only Thunderclanner who doesn't like this, then you must be dream'n."

"I know warriors feel like that, but I'm not a warrior. And besides, what else can we do? Leave them to die?" Emberpaw asked, distressed at the idea.
They are a burden to the clan....why don't we just kill them? asked a little voice inside her. Emberpaw flinched, but then ignored it.

Willowfire carefully examined the apprentice again. "She says her words with sincerity, yet not at all. She's obviously been doctrinated to autimatically think this, yet now she seems to question it. Its slight, but its there, yes: its there." But the she-cat just sniffed and said, "I remember when I was young. When I thought the world was evenly divided into good and bad. When I thought that if you did good things, good things would happen back. When I believed that 'good' was always good, and 'bad', well, back then, I didn't even really believe in 'bad'; even though I thought I did..." For the first time, Willowfire seemed to space out, as if looking through some invisible portal to the past.

"I don't understand. It isn't supposed to matter if someone is good or bad. I'm the medicine cat apprentice, I shouldn't care unless....I mean, I should care about all Clans." Emberpaw meowed, distracted enough not to notice that she had paused. She hated mentioning that she was the medicine cat apprentice, as most cats had forgotten after her ceremony. She was easily forgotten, as she was not amazingly beautiful, and mostly quiet around cats other than Cinderheart.

"Listen, Emberpaw." said Willowfire, using the apprentice's name for the first time, "You have a duty to help any cat in need, correct? Well tell me this- How will you be able to save your own clanmates, when sick Shadowclanners use up all our supplies? Or worse: they give us their diseses. You know they live near that horrible, rat-infested carrion place- and they get prey from there! Sure, they may be immune to it, but what about us, you know, that cats that don't eat crowfood?" She put emphisis on the last word, as if trying to say, "Uncivilived dirt-bags." And that's probably what she wanted to say.
