"Wow," Snowsilver stumbles with his words, "thats- I'm so happy for you!"
He thinks back to Goldensparrow in Thunderclan. She should be having her kits in a moon or two. His thoughts trail off, not wanting to picture her as the mother of Bluedreams kits.
"Thank you!" Silverfur purrs, leaning against Gale and snuggling into his long fur.
"Do you two have kits-?" Snowsilver breaks off.
It was hard to imagine Silverfur as a mother to anyone but him.
"No," Snowsilver shakes her head, "remember, I've been to the-" she breaks off, glancing around her, "cutter."
Gale takes in a sharp breath and shakes his head.
"We're not meant to talk about twoleg related things," Silverfur whispers.
Snowsilver nods, understanding how it may upset these cats, "ah."
"So are you a healer?" Jasper asks Gale.
"I am," Gale nods, "and Silverfur has trained some to be one as well."
Silverfur nods, "their methods are quite fascinating."
"Thats nice!" Snowsilver nods.
Silverfur nods, "it is!"

As the cats speak, Ash comes over and they begin to discuss Snowsilvers want to stay there. Jasper however is unsure; he doesn't know if he can stay knowing what happened between his mother and his older sisters.
"Give us your answer in three sunrises," Ash tells Jasper, "if you choose to stay, we will welcome you."
Jasper nods, "thank you."
"Silverfur," Gale mews, "I'm meant to go on a hunt with my parents in a bit, would you like to join us?"
Silverfur shakes her head, "I want to continue catching up with Snowsilver."
"Alright my dear, I'll be back by moonrise," Gale brushes his tail across Silverfurs back as he begins to pad away.

After a short while, Jasper has wandered off to collect bedding for the night. Snowsilver decided to wait until later, but Jasper was finally exhausted from lack of resting during the last few days of travel.
"We're not allowed to speak of twoleg place or of the clans," Silverfur explains.
"Its so we all treat each other as equals and there are no disputes," Honey adds.
"But it's a big part of our pasts?" Snowsilver questions, "why should we be forced to forget our pasts?"
Silverfur shrugs, "the topics make some of the cats uncomfortable."
"I heard the clans ran some of their ancestors out of the territories when they came here," Honey whispers.
Silverfur glances around her, "and the twolegs mistreated some of them."
Honey nods, "Supposedly Shyanne has had twenty litters..." she trails off.
"And they made her kittens have kits at a young age as well," Silverfur adds, "some of them didn't make it."
Snowsilver shudders, "but our experiences are different than theirs. Our names are different than theirs," he makes eye contact with Snowsilver.
"They're trying to get me to change my name," Silverfur admits, "but I've lived with this name for so long. I earned this name, I shouldn't have to give it up!"
Honey glances around wildly as cats turn their ears towards the conversation.
Silverfur drops her voice to a low whisper, "they'll make you change yours too."
Snowsilver shakes his head, "I've lived there most of my life- I worked hard to get back there and earn this name!"
"Nobody stands up against Ash though," Honey shakes her head, "or Shyanne."
Snowsilver gets to his paws, standing up straight, "Maybe it's about time someone does."
