Coldgaze, Cinderwisp, and Tangleloon
Coldgaze speaks with his cousins on the matters of the clan, and clans beyond.
Deputy's Den
6
Finding his cousins had been the easy part. Coldgaze sat, sprawled out in the deputy's chamber. While he was grateful for the warmth afforded by the sun in Newleaf, his long fur caused mixed feeling on actually staying out in the heat for long.
"I think putting Mintwhisker with an apprentice similar to him in size for conditioning would be a good idea." He had found some dead leaves, and was placing them in piles to try and keep track of which cats would rotate on what day.
"I doubt most of the elders want to participate - even though they are easy targets. But Tangle, if you want re-training or physical conditioning, we can start with something light." He glanced over at the pair of curly cats, his kin, who he had invited down to help him plan.
This murderous rouge gave him a perfect excuse to get all of Riverclan's warriors into perfect fighting form. And for him to see who were the fastest runners. But before that... he had to make sure they all stayed on-task. Tangleloon always seemed to have a way of getting him off topic and Cinderwisp - don't get him started!

Tangleloon sprawled dramatically on his back to mirror his cousin, tail flopped sideways like a lazy stream current, while his back legs stuck up in the air. He was watching Coldgaze work with the same expression one might give a beetle trying to escape a puddle. He was in no rush to intervene and extertained himself by copying him.
"Mintwhisker...conditioning with the apprentices? Ebonyflare might be more his speed." With a groan that was more for flair than discomfort, he rolled upright and shook out his dense curls, fluffing up like a dandelion. "You always get like this...Gotta whip us all into shape like we’re about to march into ThunderClan and take their forest."
But before Coldgaze could scold him, he turned toward Cinderwisp and grinned. "You believe in all this training business, sister? Or are you just here to make sure I don’t talk our deputy's ears off?"
He sat down beside her, still wearing that lazy smile, but his gaze flicked back to Coldgaze with a touch more seriousness now. He slowly batted at one of the dead leaves, wondering if he had once represented a leaf. He felt like a leaf.
"...Light re-training’s fine. But only if you let me spar with someone...fun." Stormpaw and Hailpaw were a bit too serious for his liking...Well, most cats in RiverClan were - and he felt like a kit stuck in the den.

Cinderwisp watched Coldgaze with her usual stoic, unblinking expression, the molly sitting so close to Tangleloon that their pelts were touching. She didn't say anything when he spoke, simply listening patiently, occasionally giving a brief nod to show that she was listening.
"It's certainly not a bad idea." Cinderwisp began, tail twitching. "Elders are retired because they have worked hard and deserve the rest but that does not mean they shouldn't be able to defend themselves." The molly meowed, reinforcing Coldgaze's idea to show that she agreed. She couldn't have Tangleloon in danger in the chance she wasn't there. Her brother had to know how to defend himself.
When Tangleloon made a comment about Coldgaze's tactics, the she-cat couldn't resist letting a rare snicker escape. He wasn't wrong. Coldgaze was always finding excuses to make RiverClan work harder though the warrior wasn't against it. "Tangle... I don't think Coldgaze is expecting us to become as strong as tigers. He's just worried for the general health of the clan which is valid considering the cats dropping dead left, right, and centre."
Cinderwisp stretched before sitting back down, her ears and eyes turned towards Coldgaze.
