In the little time he has before Shadowclan arrives, he decides that now is the perfect time to nip this bud.
The question is what did Pikestar want? It was simple. His desire is what many in his council would go against. He simply wanted to coexist in relative peace with the other clans, holding each other accountable when needed. Frostmoth, Russetfall, Pigeonpearl, and even Adderfang would be more than vocal about how much of a mistake this was. However, Dustystar had did nothing wrong. For now at least. One may argue that her crime was being in alliance with Shadowclan, but it was not Windclan who stole from them. The story between their clans would be different if that was the case.
A silver paw extends towards the other leader, awaiting a shake. She had every right to slap it away or refuse.
"I know."
He doesn't give the Windclan leader a chance to speak. "Riverclan has already spoken with Sablestar and he confirmed your clans being in alliance."
The confession lingers in the air. He doesn't hiss or look at her in scorn regardless of what expression she gives him. His words aren't entirely true as the Shadowclan leader stated that there was shared kin within Wind and Thunder. However, he had only brought it up during their deal as a warning. To let Riverclan know that they wouldn't be messing with one clan, but three. Based on Juniperstar's actions and her demeanor he can safely assume that the leader is not in good standing with Shadowclan and by extention Sablestar. It would only be Dustystar that Sablestar is in true allyship with.The question is what did Pikestar want? It was simple. His desire is what many in his council would go against.

"To be frank, I have no desire to tiptoe around you. While you may be allied with Sablestar, you aren't my enemy. Your clan didn't steal herbs from mine. I doubt our clans can truly be friends, given the fact that many of my warriors are wary of your clan due to its ties with Shadowclan. However, I want our clans to at the very least... Respect one another's boundaries."
A silver paw extends towards the other leader, awaiting a shake. She had every right to slap it away or refuse.
"I'm not asking you to cut your ties with Shadowclan. What I do want to ask is if we can start over? I understand why you shooed me away then, but I do want to get to know you Dustystar. And... If you don't want to that's okay. We can keep our interactions strictly professional."
- This would be taking place before Shadowclan arrives since Sablestar immediately grabs @Dustystar attention.
