    Storm could understand the feeling of not having many friends. Even though he knew most names, he didn't really dare to call someone a friend just yet. Sure, people were friendly but that didn't make them a friend yet, did it? Flicking an ear as she spoke, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He didn't show it, but he was sort of glad that she didn't have anything to do yet. "Me neither" he replied with a shake of his head, slightly wagging his tail now.


    "Want to go on a walk or something? It feels like ages since we last did something together" the paladin asked with a tilt of his head, flicking an ear slightly as he waited for an answer. He wouldn't mind doing something else, really, he just wanted to do something. They could play a game too if she wanted. He was quite accepting when it came to stuff they could do. The company was the most important in his eyes.

    Yeah, he would love to see his mother come back, but for some reason he didn't want her to either. He remembered seeing her acting weird and afterwards, he had understood that some sort of demon had possessed her. Her death had probably been some sort of relief and he didn't want her to go through that pain again.


    "I'll help" the paladin padded over with curious eyes, guessing he could as well do something useful. Helping someone to find something sounded like a plan, really.

    "I'm going too" the paladin padded over, ears flat on his skull as he looked up at Lacelock. He wondered if he had to call her something else now that she had agreed on training him, but he guessed this was not the time for such foolish questions. Now was the time for action... even though he had no idea what to do. He couldn't exactly fight, so he knew he'd probably hold the others back but... It didn't feel right to stay in camp while Whitepaw was in trouble.

    He had simply heard Lacelock's call and thus dashed towards the spot where the medicine cats spent their time healing the wounded. He hadn't even seen who was injured and how bad it was, but he guessed it didn't look good. He had never heard Lacelock call out like that, except for when Moongleam had died. So yeah, he didn't want to go over there just yet. He'd rather be useful first.

    "Storm, nice to meet you" the paladin barked as he dipped his head in greeting. A racoon, huh? He didn't think Blizzardclan had another member of that species. Interesting... The clan didn't only grow, it became diverse as well. He liked diversity for some reason. And he liked the fact the clan was growing well.

    She had three souls? That was certainly... curious? It was probably hard for Lily to live like that, yet she looked like she was a normal feline with a normal life. It was certainly worth a compliment, but he guessed that wasn't for now. She wanted questions, it seemed... And he wasn't sure if he had one. He just didn't know what kind of questions she expected and the those that had been asked had been quite random as well.


    Maybe... "What's it like to share one body?" he finally asked, tilting his head curiously. He had asked this for two reasons. He wanted to know because it was quite interesting to see someone who had more than one soul. Besides that, he wante to know because of his mother. He believed she had died because of some sort of second soul, so...

    "Storm, paladin" the wolf dipped his head as well, pretty much following the assistant deputy's example. He wasn't the greatest when it came to socializing, really. Even though he had welcomed quite a few by now, he still wasn't sure if he did it correctly. Offering Sharkpaw a faint smile, he sat down, flicking an ear with interest. It was certainly an interesting name and he wondered where the shark part came from. Was he agressive or something?


    He guessed he'd find out someday.

    "O-Of course!" he barked. He had probably talked a bit louder than he had intended to, but he was just glad that Rho had asked him to go and get a blanket. That meant she sort of trusted him, right? Dashing as fast as he could, the arctic pup would soon return with a blanket on his back. Yeah, he had tried to fold it but... Let's just say it wasn't as neatly folded as he had hoped it would be. "H-here you go" he said as he dropped it right next to the medicine cat before stepping backwards.


    So she'd take care of it, huh? That was good. It meant the kitten would be in good hands. He was sure of it.

    The paladin hadn't seen it happen, but he tended to pass by when something had happened. Today was the same and so he walked closer, curious as to know what had happened. Seeing Rho was already there, he believed everything would be alright though. Tama wouldn't have asked her to step up to medicine cat if she hadn't been good enough after all. So yeah, he was going to be just fine.


    Stopping next to Tama, he simply offered the 'visitor' a faint smile. "You're going to be okay" he barked, nodding as if to confirm his own words.

    He would watch this one for now, seeing he had never really fought before. Maybe Lacelock would teach him that one day... Tilting his head, the arctic wolf sat down at a short distance, looking around to see who would come to join the spar. He could always learn something by watching, right? He believed that you could steal with your eyes.

    "I think it's for Margaery and Suiteheart. They're expecting kits" he barked as he came up next to Sojourner. He wouldn't know why Lacelock had asked for those two in particular if the pregnancy hadn't been the reason, so... Now all that remained was for him to decide whether he'd stay or not. He wasn't a fan of parties, he just didn't want to run the risk of doing something stupid and ending up on the list of bothersome Blizzardclanners. On the other hand, it was the perfect occasion to have a few conversations and learn some new stuff about his clan mates...

    What was going on? He had to admit that he was scared to go inside, simply because of the fact that Monroe sounded really scared as if she was under attack or something. But then Lacelock went inside, so he guessed he'd be alright? Taking a deep breath, the paladin made a decision and went inside, his muscles as tense as they could ever be. He was very surprised to see that it was just Monroe, but he guessed mental problems could also have this kind of effect.


    "M-Monroe? C-Can I ummm... help?" Storm asked softly as he came up next to the assistant deputy, not really sure if she could hear him. He stayed at a distance so he wouldn't surprise her, wondering if there was something he could do. He doubted it... He didn't know a single thing about her problems... And she didn't seem too keen on talking either...

    Well, he guessed females were a lot better at comforting others. Or at least Suiteheart and Mary were able to do that without too much trouble. He offered Andykit a faint smile, hoping he wouldn't feel too bad about this whole situation in the near future. He'd hate it if the kitten decided to avoid him because he had seen this.

    "Whoa, you write those things yourself? That's incredible!" the wolf barked, eyes wide with surprise. He was sort of jealous of such a talent, really, but he guessed that wasn't a good emotion to have so he pushed it away for as far as that was possible. He was sure that one day, he'd find his own talent. It was good that everyone was different, simply because it made the world a whole lot more interesting.

    Storm's reaction had pretty much been an instinctive one. He was eager to learn, even though he knew that he was quite clumsy at times. And he certainly wasn't the fastest learner. When Lacelock had proposed training him, the arctic wolf had seen it as an opportunity to become the Blizzardclanner he wanted to be. (In other words, a 'useful' one) And seeing Tama had praised the assistant deputy quite a lot, he believed that if he failed, he would be the one to blame.


    And then he heard his name. He took a deep breath... and then ran towards Lacelock. She really was his mentor, wasn't she? "Y-yeah!" he barked as he came to a stop in front of her. He wagged his tail actively, clearly motivated to start. Oh, but he had to ask something first... "Umm... Do I have to call you mentor now or something like that?" he asked, hoping that was a polite way to ask such a thing.


    He'd rather not be called unrespectful towards his mentor.

    That sounded alright for now. Nodding, the arctic wolf turned around and went back outside where he'd wait for his sibling. He doubted the walk would last long, but they could probably come up with something else every once in a while. For now, having her company would be enough. He was quite curious to know more about her, because he technically only knew her name and that they shared a bond. Maybe that would change today.

    "T-Thank you, s-sir" the wolf replied with a respectful nod, quite surprised to hear that he was the High king. Was he even worthy of meeting such a person? It was clear that the wolf had grown a bit nervous, but he regained his composure quite quickly. As always, he grew during the conversation. "That's great to hear. I hope the answer stays the same when it comes to the Westeros' wellbeing" Storm added with a faint smile.


    Well, he guessed that this was enough for now. The Westeros knew about him and his 'duty' so... And it was already close to the end of the week by now, so he would return to Blizzardclan. "I will be back next week, then. It was a ... ple...pleasure" he barked, swearing on the inside. He hated that word and yet he had tried to use it. Dipping his head, the wolf went back home.

    Storm ran over, worried he was late for the meeting. God, he didn't want to give Tama a reason to scold him. He would be able to live with a demotion, something he probably deserved, but he wouldn't be able to live while knowing he had done something terribly wro-...


    Whilst Storm and Matthew are promoted to Auxiliary Combatant.


    Wait, what? The arctic wolf looked at the leader with shocked eyes, clearly not believing he had heard right. Three meetings straight, him and Matthew had bene promoted? Matthew wasn't that hard to believe, but him? What was he doing to earn so much trust from the leader? Paladin trainee, paladin, auxiliary combatant... Even though he didn't really know what those ranks meant, he was still managing to do it right, somehow...


    He silently listened to the rest of the meeting, recalling Matthew returning from Shadowclan. Yeah, he remembered hearing about the illness back then... And the ambassador thing was also something he knew already. He was one of them after all, which reminded him that the had to go back to the Westeros soon. Anyway, he looked around to try and find some of those promoted. "Congratulations to you too, Matthew! And to all the others as well!" he barked as he heard the sha's voice, soon turning towards his sister.


    He offered her a faint smile as he sat down next to her, clearly still a bit shaky. " And ummm... T-Thanks, Tama, I'll do my best" he quickly added, not wanting to be rude or something.
