A pale golden form dashed on silent paws away from the clan meeting area. Just as soon as she'd been able to get out of there Squirrelpaw - normally so very shy and sweet - has pushed her way passed many a clan-mate in her hurry to escape. A low snarling growl was coming from her lean form and her tail lashed around behind her in a clear show of her opinion of what had just transpired. She was just so angry and wanted to swat Dimstar in his thick head a few times to see if that didn't knock some much needed sense into him. For him to decide that Night Clan needed a few restrictions to breeding was fine, and she even agreed with some of what he'd said, but to outright ban healthy cats and then determine for them who they were best suited for was just the height of stupidity. What in Star Clan's name was Dimstar thinking?!
She finally slowed down once she was far enough away and merely padded along in the continuing night with swift, sure steps at odds with her normal timid movements. She was well and truly irate with things as they stood. And for goodness sake, they were trying to determine parings for Apprentices as well; including her sister Cardinalpaw. And her poor Mentor, Squirrelpaw was certain that Tinytail wasn't interested in any of the toms of the clan just now. Not to mention that some were outright banned, she just didn't think it was fair at all! Why would Dimstar do this to them? Yes the clan needed to expand and now during this time of strength was as good a time as any; provided prospective queens had the sense to wait until their kits wouldn't be born during leaf-bare, but to outright have to be approved just to bring new life into the clan, what a farce!
This wasn't leadership, it was outright dictatorship and if she wasn't so ridiculously shy maybe she could have spoken up against Dimstar's ill-conceived edict for the clan. If anything, it was going to discourage breeding in the clan instead of encouraging in and the thought of what she herself would have to do if ever she was interested in a male made her ears flatten to her skull in rage and frustration. What could someone like her do though, it wasn't like anyone really listened to her. It just...wasn't right!
