In Wolfpack's image stood Sablestar instead, his ink-coated pelt clouded in misty moonlight. There is nothing that crosses the leader's face other than the harsh creases of a frown. Camp was quiet, cold, even the crows had fallen silent.
"ShadowClan." Sablestar addressed simply, tensely, as though his jaws were fighting to part when he spoke. "Prey is abysmally lacking. We face another moon of hunger, but with these patrols we should not suffer for long." Wolfpack's specialized hunts had brought some form of organization that they benefitted from. His hunt with the thieves had given them plenty of rabbits to return with. Timberfrost's attempt to feed the nursery was not a total loss, and even Mirepurr had a surprising return from trying to fish in the river. They were scrounging, but they were surviving.
"We will look to Twolegplace again after the luck we had last moon. Flaxbelly will scout the area with the other Trappers to find anything else the Thieves can ambush. Be sure to avoid the small field at night, an owl lurks there." He briefly looked to the warrior with his wide-eyed apprentice next to him before looking away.
"Jadethorn, you and the other Thieves will occupy zone one, near ThunderClan. Do be sure not to over-hunt whatever you manage to find." His guard had shown great resistance since her first grand escapade to their closest rival. Even as they struck down her mate, she held herself and did not raze the Clan to the ground (as much as Sablestar would have done the same). And her revisit to the oaks were not inflated with violence, he trusted her ability to make the right decision to have her return again.
"I have something different to ask for this next patrol. But while our stores are low, we must survive, and clearly they are unashamed to make us another target... Tickfrost, you and some of the Trappers will travel into SkyClan through the dark. Seek where their prey runs, and leave the moment you are found. We will send in the Thieves once they've even slightly let their guard down." Sablestar took in another inhale, methodical as he tried to settle the rush of blood from his heart. Betraying something from his core made his body feel heavy as rock. The guilt never passed his expression, but it sank grossly in his gut.
"And Hollowmist, I would like you to enter WindClan on behalf of our alliance with them and seek if they have any requests. Short of prey, there are other ways we can offer to aid them." And perhaps a favor given could turn to one owed, by sweetened kin no less. Sablestar gave a final nod to dismiss the Clan but lingered for a few moments, his paws twitching to a rise.
