Something peculiar was afoot. He couldn't shake the feeling away, despite everything more or less being okay. He checked on Pricklekit already. Iciclepaw was given a break for the day to go play with friends or spend the time as he saw fit. Knowing his other son, the white furred apprentice would be with Russetfall. Galepaw and Thunderpaw were off training. Frostmoth... Well he was taking a well deserved break after arranging patrols. He'd like to think that their relationship had gotten slightly better. He doesn't expect the deputy to forgive him for his foolishness long ago, but he was unable to go back in time. All he could do now was carry on and take a bit more responsibility. Perhaps the deputy was a little pleased that the workload had lessened. Even though things within the council were complicated right now. Not to mention what they should do when it came to Windclan. After all, they had given Riverclan some herbs. These herbs would help them prepare for Riverclan. They needed it more than ever, especially since Rainpaw's disappearance.
Quite frankly there was a lot going on, but he was grateful that Peachtrot had entered his den and asked him to go treasure hunting. It had been quite some time since they've done so. Usually, he would unwind whenever they set off together, but... He noticed her glancing in his direction more often. What was concerning was her lack of words. She was not one to stare and remain silent. Is something wrong? Maybe she saw the look of concern on his features, and quickly flashed a beaming smile. However, he noted how strained it was. Before he could comment on the matter, she made a quip about him. All thoughts of asking what was wrong flew out the window as he found himself in a teasing match. Things were nice, he will admit it. However, there had been a moment when he surfaced and saw her distant expression.
The need to ask what was wrong was swiftly put on hold when Peachtrot looked at him and asked if they could go to his den. All he could do was nod. She had rendered him speechless with her serious demeanor. The walk to camp and to his den had been a silent one.
And so, here there were. Drenched.

"Did.. Do you want to talk about something?"
Their eyes meet briefly, before his own look down to view the falling droplets. "One moment."
It's the only warning given to her before he turns his back to her and goes off to a corner of his den. He drags the nest, usually the one reserved for guests to Peachtrot. "I know it's not much, but you can use it to be a little more dry."
As for the leader himself? He opts to sit down and begin to groom himself. Although unsaid, it is an invitation for her to speak.- MUAH HERE'S A PRIV FOR @Peachtrot
