Irresponsible. Cedarpaw's voice, his demeanor, was far too calm for a cat who had been missing. Icefeather felt frantic, frayed, at the end of her rope. But she couldn't do this right now, couldn't do this here in the middle of camp. She and Cedarpaw would have to speak later, figure things out. For now, she needed to calm down, get her thoughts together in a less charged situation. She still needed to find another apprentice, just in case. If anything happened again, ShadowClan needed to have a stable base to fall back on, and that would only be gained if Icefeather had another apprentice. She needed to focus on that first, and her stray-now-found apprentice.
Turning her indigo gaze on her blind apprentice, Icefeather felt something in her chest give way and the tension in her shoulders deflated. "I'm just...glad you're safe." Turning away, the white tabby headed back to her den, feeling drained.
