with the imminent threat of her own self-orchestrated demise set aside (and the harrowing understanding of what StarClan's power truly meant), a newfound urgency to foster in ThunderClan's next group of leaders rushes beneath the surface of every thought. the will to teach them, to mold them, to hope that every honeyed word that she says vying for peace might be taken to heart and ferried into the future policies of her successors. that meant raising up those who'd proven themselves promising... potential comes in many different colors, vast in its breadth. if you knew where to look, maybe you could find it in anyone... maybe that's what Owlbark hated most about her.

the willingness to kindle a spark where-ever a piece of flint laid dormant and expectant.

she strides with more surety and steadiness than the last time she'd summoned up her clan for a meeting, squinting at the corners of her eyes in a small that reaches at sincerity, even if a little dulled by their hardships. "I've need of your attention please," the spotted tabby calls out, sweeping her tail in a grand arc before turning to scale up the half-fallen tree-trunk behind her. the view from up here is refreshing, watching the dotting of bright eyes and eager ears sitting at alert to listen.

"In light... of the recent changes in our ranks, I've decided it's about time we filled in the holes left behind by those who chose paths better suited for them. So... Copperstorm... Ghoststrike. I'm asking you if you'd become part of our Storm Guard... To serve as pillars of our community, to guide your clan-mates... to lead patrols and secure our borders." this would be the most important part... hammering down the details. finding new faces to trust... ones that would stick around to truly help in founding stability and constancy.

"I won't bite... if you say no," she thinks to add with a sheepish folding of her ears.

The image of Stilldream hovering over Juniperstar's still body hadn't left Copperstorm's mind, not fully. Yes, leaders had lives to spare, but that didn't mean it didn't sting every time they lost one. It didn't mean it wasn't terrifying to see her lying there like that... Motionless, vulnerable. Plus, he had been uncertain what happened when it came to the odd white cat... What had Stilldream done, exactly? Were her intentions good, or had she ulterior motives? He didn't know her, she had joined after the Colony disbanded. After the war happened.

A frown tugged at his features as he stood amidst his Clanmates, golden eyes fixed on their recovering leader. His thick tail curled protectively around Dewshine, holding her close. Just ahead, he could make out the shapes of the apprentices they'd taken under their care, Boarpaw among them. At that thought, a flicker of a smile briefly softened his expression. He'd grown close to the young tom, more than he had expected. Maybe more than he'd ever admit out loud. But then, something caught his attention.

A name. His name. His ears twitched. His head tilted slightly, brow furrowing. Had he heard that right? Another blink. Then two. " Appointed...? " The realization struck like a heartbeat skipping. His gaze shot to Dewshine, wide with disbelief. And then, a small, incredulous smile ghosted across his muzzle. Just for a second. " Not quite what I expected. " he murmured, voice low, brushing his head gently against hers. A quiet moment passed... then he straightened, tall and steady despite the obvious sign of nature still clinging to his messy fur. If he had known, he might've tried to look a bit more presentable.

But as it stood... " I accept. " he said, firm and clear, dipping his head with deep respect. " It will be my honor to see ThunderClan grow and to help guide it forward. "
