Leafstar held himself uneasily, yet at the same time refusing to show any weakness. His gaze swept over the boarder as he waited for Ravenstar to appear. The tawny warrior had been uneasy since his lives were recieved.... and now.... well, in truth he was a little afraid.

The tom picked up a noise and pricked his ears. It must be her!

He quickly gave his chest a lick and prepared for NightClan's hostility. No doubt that this meeting would be too formal to be friendly.

Ravenstar had decided that, instead of sitting around camp useless, she would go out hunting. It was also a good excuse to go out on her own for a bit. She had already caught a squirrel and a black bird when she though she scented TreeClan near by. Yes, she was at the border, but this scent was very fresh, as if the cat was still there now. Bristling slightly, she crept forward, her black pelt blending her in nicely with the shadows of NightClan's territory.

As she came to a thorn bush and peered through, she saw one lone cat, peering across the border as if waiting for someone. Letting out a slow hiss of relief, she waited a few more moments just to be sure this wasn't some trap and that this cat was truly alone before making herself known. Her tail held high and her amber gaze narrowed, she raised her chin in the slightest greeting, if not a bit of a rude one, "Name your purpose here, Leafscar." She recognized him now as the TreeClan deputy, though she knew not that StarClan had recently accepted him as the Clan's new leader....

"Leafstar." _{The TreeClan leader corrected briskly. His claws extened in the ground for a quick moment, as he carefully chose which words to speak. Once settling on what to say he finally meowed; "I have been thinking, since Silverstar has passed on I believe there should be no reason for us to have any fight soon." he paused, but did not give Ravenstar time to comment before adding. "I think our two Clans would be better off in an alliance; not that our Clan isn't fit to battle at all. I simply see no point now in such a time of silence."}

He closed _{his eyes and heaved a sigh and asked the NightClan leader. "What do you think?"}

Ravenstar's whiskers twitched in amusement at his request, though she was surprised to hear that Silverstar had died. She supposed it was not too surprising, every Clan had been suffering creat losses from the greencough epidemic that had only just recently subsided.

Flicking her tail dismissively, she blinked her pale amber eyes once before speaking, "NightClan has no reason to quarrel with TreeClan... at least not at the moment." True, the previous ThunderClan and ShadowClan had never really been all too friendly with each other, but that was before the great valley journey, before the change of names and the return of the fifth Clan. Many things had changed, and the NightClan-TreeClan border was now probably the least fought over border, the Deer Path making a rather clear border and one both Clans seemed to agree on perfectly well.

She blinked once more, thinking about Silverstar, "I am sorry for your Clan's loss of Silverstar...." Her gaze narrowed slightly, "I have lost my deputy, Nightfall, as well...." She wouldn't normally tell a cat from another Clan something like that at the border, but rather wait until the next gathering. However, she found it suitable to tell Leafstar now, instead. Sighing, she looked up at the much larger tom, "Is that all, then?" Ravenstar was not known for her friendliness to cats outside her Clan. Gatherings were more a thing of duty to StarClan for her than the 'fun' activity most cats thought it to be. If she could help it, she would not attend them, but as leader she was required to go and speak for her Clan.

He meowed quietly, deciding against telling Ravenstar about the prophecy. "No.... nothing else.."

Without her knowing of the battle things would be okay. Or, this was how the leader hoped. He didn't want to show weakness by revealing a line that obviously involved a war between them, so he would play it safe and see if it would be easy enough to cut out part of StarClan's vision.

Her gaze narrowed slightly, but she flicked her tail dismissively, "Very well then... luck, to you in your leadership." She nodded curtly and turned, padding away to fetch those few pieces of prey she had caught, knowing she would be a bit too distracted to get much hunting done right now. At least she brought something back for the Clan, and not just prey, but news. She wondered exactly how deeply each Clan had been affected by greencough....
