    Since Lighteningclan's war council had taken place the day to day life around camp had seemed to gain quite a bit more energy. Cat's were bustling, hunting patrols were more prominent and every facet of clan life just seemed more active compared to what it had been during the harsh leafbare. Redscar was pleased to see this, even though the wounds from the previous season were still present for every cat they had become much less prominent. The ground work had been laid and now it was time to begin the next phase of their plan to reclaim what was rightfully theirs, and too that end the young deputy patrolled with his leader. "Patrols are having fairly good success, I think we are on track to having a clan full of healthy cat's quite early this newleaf." He reported to Firestar with pride welling in his chest, he found his clans' quick recovery to be nothing less than inspiring.

The activity from within the LightingClan camp was enough to brighten any sour mood that might have clung to the calico she-cat's pelt. Seeing her fellow clanmates on their way to recovery only furthered Firestar's drive to secure new territory. However, planning took time and while she would have liked to attack StoneClan before their chance to recover, she was happy with the progress still. She had told her young deputy to join her on a patrol. The two orange tinted cats were to discuss their plan away from camp. It wasn't that she didn't trust her clamates, it was instead that simple fact Firestar felt cooped up too long in the camp. She wanted to stretch her limbs and enjoy the crisp newleaf air.

The two high ranking cats left about the same time. Russetfall, Firestar's mate, had gave her a polite nuzzle before turning to his own duties. As the duo walked out into the territory there was a comfortable silence that fell on them. It didn't last long, not that Firestar cared. Her attention turned to focus on what Redscar had to say, nodding as signs of approval.

"You've been doing great work Redscar," The she-cat praised her deputy leading the two of them closer to the StonClan border, but remaining at a good distances. "Should we strike before the gathering? Or after?" She asked him, letting her eyes glance toward the direction of the sunstones, her future prize.
