Starpelt - what the clan was calling the night sky now - hung on display above the dead tree. It had also received a new name: Owl Tree. Owlbark had yet to see the eponymous creature using it as its home, but the fresh pellets deposited beneath the tree was sign enough the name worked. The tom found himself gravitating toward this tree when he needed time to think or be alone. Others avoided it for fear of its dangerous resident, but Owlbark had plenty of experience with them. He even named himself after the creature. He thought briefly back to when an owl had scarred his nose and shook him of the hope he had had in his young heart that day.

Late leafbare leaves crunched under expected pawsteps. Owlbark had approached Thunderflash on a patrol earlier that day and asked to meet later at this spot. He respected Thunderflash for his ferocity and strength, exhibited during their spar shortly after the clan's formation. "You came," he grunted, slowly looking over his shoulder at Thunderflash. "Good. I wanted to discuss something with you." Owlbark gestured to follow and began moving past the dead tree, knowing the younger tom would follow.

His pawsteps were a hint louder, to alert Owlbark of his presence. A wary eye was cast skyward every now and again, as if to ensure that the owl that frequented these grounds, lived here even, didn't find him first. He wasn't too keen on the idea of being an owl's dinner. A breath left him as he looked forward, towards where Owlbark recognized him over his shoulder. "Y' asked me t'." He responds to the first statement. To the second, his head tilted curiously. "Curious what y' have t' discuss." Thunderflash says.

Stepping after the other, the faint pain in his shoulder rears it's head, but the Storm Guard ignored it in favor of finishing this 'trip' up on a strong note. ".. Obviously, i' must be somethin' tha' can't be discussed within camp walls, aye?" He strikes up conversation during the walk, vision shifting towards Owlbark once more.

Owlbark flicked his ear in acknowledgement of Thunderflash's observation. "Correct. I didn't need any of those chatterboxes misinterpreting me if they overheard." He knew word would flit from clanmate to clanmate until it ended up at Juniperstar's paws. He respected his leader, but knew that he showed his respect in a distasteful way to some. Thunderflash would understand his stance, though.

"I worry about Juniperstar's judgement about our relationship with ShadowClan," he said. Owlbark flicked his eyes to Thunderflash before continuing. "I hope you agree in my saying that Sablestar has polluted her mind beyond reasoning. The border we share has become a soft suggestion instead of the rigid promise it should be. I hope I can ask for your support in pushing for a firmer stance in clan relations." He stopped walking and turned to face the other tom. His face was hard and unmoving. If Thunderflash rejected this alliance, he would simply do it himself, but he had a thought it would not be so.

His statement does not inspire confidence, at first sight. A grunt leaves him in a noncommittal response, eyes flicking towards the trees. Owlbark had been a solid leg for Thunderclan for a minute now, but he is still wary of assassinations, of shadows hiding where they should not. A black pelted tom told him to trust no one, once upon a time, and he thinks he's taking it to heart. Maybe not. Thunderflash glances towards the other tom once he begins to speak once more, and his head tilts upwards in sudden understanding.

Thunderflash bides his time, bites his tongue. When Owlbark stops and rounds on him, Thunderflash is wearing a similar expression, but one simmered in more anger then the other. "Oh, y' know I do." He speaks, accent thick as his tail flicks with irritation. Not at Owlbark, per say, no- it was rooted in the traitorous bastards across the 'border' they shared, the one that Thunderflash was told to willingly give up. "Don' know who did n' didn' hear i', but I did try t' argue with her in her den after comin' back from the patrol." The tabby says, stepping past Owlbark to peer into the trees. He collects his thoughts in a moment, eyes searching spaces unseen to collect himself, then turns back towards Owlbark.

"We're in agreemen', then? We need t' defend wha's ours. No more rollin' over to show our bellies n' let them think us weak?" Thunderflash asks, searching the other's vision.
