Lionstar nodded at Firecrystal's words. "Be careful - remember, we're just chasing it off, not trying to kill it." No unnecessary heroics. Not just her, Bigpaws. With the sage advice of his mentor spiking feelings of nostalgia and fondness, Lionstar set off to track the fox, howevering close by should Firecrystal run into it before he did. The snow, which chilled his nose and even got through the thick fur of his paws and sturdy paw-pads, was making it hard to track scents properly. So not only did he use his sense of smell, he kept his eyes peeled for fox tracks.
It was kind of interesting how Firecrystal was one of TreeClan's youngest warriors, and yet he wasn't much older than she was. That's the way things work out sometimes, I guess. It was one of those things he couldn't help; did he wish he was 40 moons or older, with the experience and the sense of judgment that came with age? Yes. Was he going to try and be something he was not? Nope. He may have all the worldly experience of a young warrior, but he hadn't just been a young warrior. He'd been a deputy before StarClan's plans for him had come to fruition; this was not his first rodeo, but he was definitely riding something he wasn't 100% sure he could handle. Sureness didn't have much to do witht he outcome, however, as even though his confidence was not much farther than 80%, he was still going to see this thing through.
Noticing a pile of fox dung not too far from where he and Firecrystal had split up, the Clan leader turned around, frowning. Was he close to the den? Wait...
...He'd gone the wrong way! The fox wasn't this way, it was in Firecrystal's direction - and if she wasn't ready for it, this wasn't gonna go well.

She looks back at him and she smiles lightly. "Yes, chasing only, killing if it attacks. I shall remember that Lionstar." She purred amusement at her words and she flicks her tail at him. She looks at the snow then and she works on catching the foxes scent and trail. Damn snow, blocking everything.
She heard only her paw steps then and she knew that Lionstep went into the other direction. She sighed and continued forward. She knew that he was just trying to cover all bases, but honestly, staying together would be better. That was when she hit it, well, fell in it. She lost her footing on the edge of a den and down she went.
Before the she-cat even tried to get up, she moved all of her limbs, well, until a growl came to her ears. She looked up, and sure enough, she found it. She scrambled to her paws then but as she got up, the fox attacked her legs. It bite the front leg before she could dodge and she let out a yowl.
The she-cat then looked at the fox and hissed. Now the fox had done it, she was being a good she-cat, until she got bit. She lunged at the fox then and grabbed its own front leg and bit down hard and yanked it from under the fox. She let go of the leg and she turns so she was backing out of the den then.
Lionstar, please hurry. The small she-cat ducked quickly as the fox tried to jump at her and she jumped herself when the fox landed. She bit at its neck before she jumped off and watched it carefully. She may be injured, but she will make sure that the fox was injured when it leaves as well.

Lionstar heard the sound of fighting and smelled the blood even before he'd come withing viewing distance. When Firecrystal's ginger pelt did make it's appearance, the lighter hue clashing with the deep ruddy coloring of the fox, the TreeClan leader didn't think twice before launching himself away from the base off a tree and towards the vulpine. Snarling, spitting and hissing, the lion-like tom's fur fluffed up to twice it's usual size, his amber eyes blazing with fire, his massive paws swinging as he seethed, back arched. The scent of Firecrystal's blood in the air had sent a shiver of panic down his arched spine, further building the fire in his belly and the righteous indignation in his heart. "Get out of here!" He snapped, dancing back as the fox lunged for him; obviously it didn't speak cat, but should be able to tell by his tone, body language and the battle-gleam in his eyes that this wasn't a fight the fox could win.
On his own, Lionstar would have been worried, and he never would have put himself in the risk of losing a life so stupidly, but he wasn't alone. He had a Clan mate to protect, a Clanmate who was just as dedicated to protecting TreeClan as he was, and two loyal cats trumped one skinny, hungry fox any day. When the ginger creature got too close, Lionstar lashed out, striking like a lightning bolt and landing a blow to the fox's shoulder, sending it reeling back with snarls of pain. He met Firecrystal's gaze, and gave a single nod. Time to drive the creature back and then collapse it's den - if this fight lasted any longer, one or both of them was going to get seriously injured.

She caught Lionstar's scent when he appeared, she was distracted, so she was jumped on by the fox. She spat at the fox then and dug her hind claws into its belly. Get off me! She pushed up then and the fox fell to the ground. She got back up and she looked at Lionstar and caught his signal to start chasing it out of the territory. She turned back to the fox and she smirks a bit before she spat at it again.
She lunged at its legs and watched as it backed up then. Her fur was fluffed past the point of being fluffed, but with such short fur, it does not seem to have made a difference. Firecrystal lashed at the fox with her front paws and felt one of them connect with the fox's face. She watched as the fox sized up bother of the felines then before it turned and started to leave. Firecrystal spat at it again and followed it in case it decided to turn. The fox felt that and it picked up its pace.
Firecrystal would have sped up to a run, but her front leg had started to swell and she could barely put weight on it. She looked back at Lionstar though and she waited for him. She was not going to let him chase it off alone, if chasing was even needed now. She looked back at the den and she knew that they would have to come back and collapse the den, but that would be after the fox was gone.

"Are you alright?" Amber eyes filled with concern as they settled upon one of TreeClan's younger warriors, Lionstar's normally soldier-like countenance broken with worry for his Clanmate. He had gotten here as fast as he could, and it wasn't at all unlike the golden tom to blame himself for Firecrystal's injuries. If he had been just a bit faster, just a tiny bit quicker on the uptake, then Firecrystal wouldn't have to limp back to camp. "Well done," he mewed, voice quietly sincere. "You handled it very well, Firecrystal. Let's get you back to camp and have Spottedfeather look after your leg." I'll send a patrol to collapse the den once we get back, and renew the scent markings. A next plan of action already in mind, Lionstar focused on his only current goal for the moment - getting Firecrystal back to the safety of TreeClan camp without causing her further pain or losing more blood.
It had been an easy choice to let the fox just run off rather than pursue it. Though yes it had headed for the NightClan border, Lionstar wasn't feeling too guilty over that. Maybe it'll keep them from stealing our prey if it encounters a few patrols. Though he could hardly wish death upon anyone, not even an enemy much less a Clan he just wasn't fond of, Lionstar would admit to hoping that karma would decide to kick in soon for their shadowy, fleet-footed neighbors. If he caught another NightClan cat across their border, he wasn't going to let them go until Ravenstar herself appeared before him to explain it. She was a proud though small leader, but that by no means meant she should be underestimated.
He knew it was only a matter of time before she took advantage of his inexperience; he had found himself quietly admiring the cunningness and the dignity with which she'd ruled her Clan and sat upon one of StarClan's claws, back when he'd still been sitting next to Distantstar. Lionstar suppressed a low growl of frustration. First the prey-stealing, then the fox and now this awful start to leafbare?
Was StarClan trying to kill them all, or was this some sort of ridiculous practical joke?

She was glad about that. Her front right leg was pulled under her where she stood and she stayed focused on that fox now that she knew Lionstar was okay. She would live, but if the leader would have lost a life, well, Firecrystal would never have forgiven herself at all. Her tail stayed to her right to balance out her body.
Her ears were focused on nothing until Lionstars concerned question came to her. She turns her head to look at him then and she saw the concern in his amber eyes. She nods her head though. "Nothing Spottedfeather can not fix." She had complete trust in her Medicine Cat, but she was more worried about the clan lands. If that fox came back, she would make sure that it was dead if she crossed it.
She smiled a bit at Lionstar and nods once more. "Thank you Lionstar, I am just happy that the fox is gone now." She turned her body then and she limped up beside Lionstar. She flicks her tail at him and she starts back to the camp. "Lets go, or are you waiting for it to return." She teased him lightly. She was holding all of her concern for her leg in, if Spottedfeather was to tell her something was truly wrong, then she was going to be worried.
Firecrystal doubted that though. She continued her way to the camp and she keeps her ears pricked back to make sure that Lionstar was okay and still on his way back to camp. She may not be the leader, but she would be responsible if Lionstar got hurt.

Lionstar flicked an ear in her direction at Firecrystal's humored words, and set off at a moderate pace for TreeClan's camp; he knew better than to go too fast, since her leg was hurting, but going at a turtle's pace was likely to hurt her pride more than her leg. So he settled for a neutral speed, glancing over his shoulder every now and again to make sure she was keeping up okay.
