Winter was slowly receding with the return of the sun's light, etching across the sky later and later into the day. Telltale signs of what was to come in the following moon. Newleaf would bring a bright new dawn to SkyClan and they would begin to see the full force of what their new home had to offer. These pines would thicken with its nettles and bring home birds aplenty for warriors to strike and perhaps Lostmoon would find himself accompanied by other caretakers expecting their own kin.

"I'm almost starting to get antsy, newleaf is-is so close. I can taste it in the air." Fujimoto looked to Cometglow as they padded between the towering tree trunks, paws careless in their steps as they patrolled the new border. It held a fishy scent he wasn't quite used to, and he could hear the current of the river as they grew closer. "I'll have to, um, double the hunting patrols once it r-really kicks up again! Hawkstar w-will want the prey pile stocked." Especially with Flowercloud now removed from the council and Tigerfoot's disappearance, he isn't sure how they'll find time to manage the Clan with just the two of them. How long would it be until he felt a restful sleep again?

Cometglow definitely wasn't going to miss leafbare weather. Sure, the snow was pretty while it was there, and made a nice insulator for the dens... but it quickly got annoying to try and move through. Not to mention when it was icy underneath... well, he'd learned his lesson from that one. Hopefully newleaf in their new territory would be more pleasant.

He nodded as Fujimoto spoke of hunting patrols, briefly thinking about what types of animals they'd start seeing more of as the warmth returned. "I'm sure Hawkstar will appreciate that, especially with Lostmoon's kits growing. Once they're old enough to eat whole prey like us older cats... We'll definitely need to make sure we've got plenty of it." The noise that came out after he spoke was a bit of a laugh and a bit of a purr at the same time. He couldn't help but find the younger cats endearing, even with their general rambunctiousness that other cats often got irritated with. Maybe he was more patient than some of other, older cats, or maybe everyone else was a little too stressed all the time. He could sense at least a bit of the worry radiating off his clanmate now... And with so much for such a small group of cats to deal with, I can't really blame him for being stressed.

Still, he could at least try to mitigate that a little. Maybe. "Hopefully we won't have to worry too much about hunting patrols when it warms up, and we'll have more time to spend with our clanmates." Maybe everyone would be in better spirits if there was more to do - feathers to collect for nests, training games to play with apprentices and older kits... anything to strengthen bonds between SkyClan cats.

It is nice to hear a Clanmate keep up with the optimism while still matching what he envisioned. It was not easy being the only Sun Guard to Hawkstar's council, but the mottled warrior found himself more determined now with the lack of a deputy, especially one who had mentored him personally, to keep him afloat. Cherrydawn had suggested he return to the lifestyle that fit him before and he had wanted for it like a fish to water. When he shook and trembled at the idea of giving someone a patrol they despised or a lead that was not fit for it.

Something in the vein of confidence ran through him knowing Hawkstar relied solely on him now. Without Flowercloud's reputation in his paws if he failed, there was something a bit more freeing if he did make a mistake. "I'd really like to, this newleaf a-and greenleaf. Th-the-the last season cycle I, um, stayed in my twoleg nest a lot. They had... a lot happening. It was hard t-t-to leave." Loud gatherings of their kind filling the nest with noise and buzzing walls and floors. He had hid from it all, mostly, until it was safe to come out but by that time the moon had rose. "N-now I can properly hang out, as they say. I wouldn't even... know how, I think."

"Well, we'll just have to reintroduce you to socializing with the clan, then. Take a load off your paws for a bit and just be one of the clan instead of a lone Sun Guard who's scrambling to get everything done." Cometglow laughed a little, gathering a little scoop of moss from a nearby tree trunk and rolling it into a small ball, just the right size to toss to kits to catch. He tossed it up in the air a few times, then whacked it so it flew off further into the trees. Whether it stayed in one piece or not, he didn't bother to run off and check.

"Hopefully a fun clan activity won't be as chaotic as a twoleg gathering, right?" He couldn't imagine what living with twolegs must have been like - even getting close to the twolegplace in their old territory a few times had made it seem like a relatively unpleasant life, to be bound to the whims of some twolegs. Not to mention all the smells of their monsters and other animals... Definitely not a life for him, but he supposed most kittypets who stayed must be at least somewhat happy with it. And the ones who weren't, well... they probably left and joined clans like Fujimoto had.
