"I mean, Twolegs can, so if there were secretly another Twoleg who you could talk to I guess you could have put a hit out on her but it would still be a really wacky plan."

"If you check for conversations between me and other Twolegs you will find none."

"So I'd expect. Uh, attempted murder of Ravenpaw via hunting mission to Snakerocks? Is that a rocky area with snakes in it or is there something else murdery about the place?"

". . . It is a rocky area with snakes in it.  He came back with an adder; I was very proud.  And as I recall it was on a hunting assessment where myself and two other warriors were supervising from afar and would have been able to intervene if anything had gone wrong."

"...how would you have intervened if he'd gotten a snakebite, do the medicine cats have something for that?"

"Yes."

"Cool, good for them. Uh, thing with Fireheart and walking on a narrow branch?"

". . . On the scouting trip before that Gathering?  Someone had to try it and he was the lightest.  The path we all ended up taking was hardly less dangerous."

"Meeting with rogues who promptly attacked ThunderClan?"

"I did not call for them to do that."

"What did you talk to them about?"

"Other things."

"The weather? Their favorite colors?"

"How being rogues was suiting them and whether they would rejoin a Clan if they could."

"What'd they say?"

"Most of them missed Clan life."

"How d'you square that with the subsequent attack?"

"They thought that attacking the Clan which was harbouring Brokenstar would make the remaining members of ShadowClan take their repentance for having followed him before seriously.  I set more patrols than usual to watch out for them, though I hadn't thought they'd try something as extreme as attacking ThunderClan as a whole instead of just going for Brokenstar."

"Huh. Did ShadowClan react as they'd hoped?"

"Well, not immediately; I was the one who took them in.  But they're integrating well."

"No hard feelings about them attacking ThunderClan?"

"We have, with effort, largely overcome them.  Most cats just aren't very good at decision-making and leadership on their own; it doesn't make sense to punish them for that by continuing to deprive them of a structure which they could contribute to and thrive in."

"Huh. Okay. Standing by while Leopardfur was threatening Fireheart?"

"Threatening?"  Tigerstar bristles.  " - If he meant during that battle with RiverClan, it was a battle and I had other concerns.  Several other cats needed my help more than he did and the fact that I took a moment to decide which to prioritize does not mean I was standing by.  Unlike what Fireheart did that day when the situation called for attacking his friend's mate."

"- okay, glad I asked, clearly I did not get very much context with this one. Can you tell me when it was - or if anybody died I can anchor off that -"
