He was a bit hesitant at first - after all, his troubles centered around the other toms clan... but after a moment he nodded. "Things have been ... hard, with the forest burned down. My apprentice is missing, my kits are starving, and its... it's becoming quite hard to deal with. And thunderclan and riverclan have been fighting a lot - some warriors have... been caught stealing your prey.." he left out the fact that he'd been one of those cats once, but he'd already learned from his mistake and thus decided not to cause a fight.

Hailcloud drug himself over, eyes wide - he wished he could help, but healing was the only thing he'd never gotten around to learning before he and the family had split apart. Sighing, Hailcloud glanced up at the sky, a silent prayer leaving his mind. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hobbling over, Hailcloud eyes narrowed - and he'd let his words come out as a dark cold hiss. "And what makes you think that?" He still couldn't move the shattered hip, it was rendered useless, but his other hind leg had finally recovered enough that he was limping rather than dragging himself along.

Hailcloud had never truly believed in the borders, in the separations between clans - they were necessary only for organization, and did not need to be kept to at all times. He'd made a few acquaintances and friends in bloodclan, and really it was only sheogorath he had hated - and rightly so, as the bastard had set the forest ablaze. The loner born tom limped over - his shattered hip and leg hanging and dragging uselessly as he powered forwards. "Waspwing. " He knew the name, the face... but not the mind, the personality, the cat herself. He'd wait after saying the simple word, merely dipping his head respectfully as he waited for her to answer Cinderpaw question.

hailcloud was going to beat the living daylights out of snowpaw - as soon as he found him. The warrior had been looking for his apprentice, having been worried for him. Only to find the scent trail headed towards snake-rocks. Groaning, he'd barrel towards snowpaw and dustpaw, his injured leg no longer even touching the ground as the rest of his limbs worked hard to propel him forward. "Snowpaw! Dustpaw!" diving forawards, he'd aim to help snowpaw drag the other apprentice out, his fangs snarling and snapping at the snakes. He'd killed and hunted them before - and for starclans sake this was his apprentice that was in danger - so to hell with saftey!

"attack me." The words were simple, but showed no hesitation. Hail wanted to see what his apprentice was made of - if Snowpaw was all bark and no bite, or if he actually had the ability to back up his claims. Either way, he intended to curve snowpaws rebellious behavior... but better that he be able to defend himself when he pissed off an enemy cat.

Hailcloud would pass heatherpaw - the poppy seed that was requested - he at least knew what those looked like, as he was on a diet of them lately."Here."

Hailcloud watch the gust of sand. He'd slip his tail out of the apprentices grasp - untouched, it would lash once - and he'd spin around, only allowing a glancing blow to catch his leg. He ignored it, his lithe, surprisingly well muscled figure darting forwards, as he aimed to ram head-on towards snowpaw before twisting and using his shoulder to shove the apprentice to the ground. "speech."

Hailcloud was next to pass by, simply nodding as his stormy grey-blue gaze spotted the prey. "Two mice and a vole? Good catch - the kits and queens might actually get to have full bellies tonight..." and then he'd move on, limping away in hopes of avoiding a lecture on how he was still healing - hell, he'd been more active when his belly was full and swollen with eleven starclan-damned kits, so Heatherbloom could scold him all she wanted, but he was going to keep on doing his job.

hailcloud glared. "FIne. But seriously, I won't sit around in camp all day - hell, I did more while round-as-a-ball and full of kits than your letting me now - and I can't even feel anything," was all he'd say, before limping off - not even waiting for dawnbreeze.

Hailcloud would snort. "If the fire was starclans doing, does that now mean Bloodclan are blessed by our ancestors? Because it was a bloodclan cat who started this fire, not our ancestors." How stupid could these cats be - he wondered if, had they been alive at the time, they would of run over to windclan when sheogorath had done the same to them, and told them it was their fault for ''angering starclan'. Mouse-brained idiots - god, was his daughter really being raised around cats like these?

Of course, hailcloud was not far behind his apprentice - having slowly-but-surely been limping his way over to yell at the tom for his selfishness. Growling, he'd grab the half-eaten prey along with his own catch of a scarny mouse he'd waited on for nearly an hour, and he'd growl, coming up behind his apprentice and aiming to gently cuff snowpaw on the ear . He'd lecture him later - eating prey before the kits and queens was breaking the warrior code after all. Glancing forwards and across the border, he'd nod at the riverclan cats... at his sister, not even bothering to hide like Snowpaw."speech."

It seemed that yet again Hailcloud had managed to push himself to the edge - his face was beyond gaunt, it was skeletal and weary and the stuff of nightmares. Bags under his eyes, dark circles, and his face was nearly drooping. He'd mostly recovered - at least in his opinion - and his limp, crooked leg no longer even hurt most days, save for a bit of joint pain. However, that didn't mean he was okay - he'd been hunting, training snowpaw, patrolling, helping out in any way he could - including skipping meals and skipping sleep. And today, the dam finally broke - hailcloud sunk to the ground just outside the medicine den, groaning at the wave of dizziness that had hit him. His stomach ached, and his head was pounding... and yet still, he struggled, determined to keep going, keep working. "speech."
