ThunderClan began to move with Magpiepaw at the helm beside Owlbark and Serpentberry. Among kin, among those that loved him, he reassured himself. He had seen Dreampaw scurry off to follow the rest of ShadowClan, and for a moment he had believed his son to have turned around when his eyes settled on the apprentice. Recognition quickly clicked as the child's face turned to his father, and a smile of relief curved at his muzzle. "Asterpaw, you've gotten so big now." It was good to see the sickness holding him back had not stunted him, in fact he looked far more like himself than Juniperstar, despite wearing her coat. He still noticed the cracks of fevercoat that clung to him, but it was receding in comparison to the last time they had met.
"While Magpiepaw tends to your mother in ThunderClan, you should come with me to ShadowClan. You can meet the friends he and Dreampaw have made there." Sablestar mewed as he reached down to affectionately bump his forehead against his son's. He lingered there for just a second longer, the ache in his heart twisting. "What do you think? You ready to see your second home?"
