Squirrelpaw was well on her way to becoming a warrior- it would be any day now, and luckily for her, it looked like she hadn't missed out on too much action. The revolution had not yet happened, and Squirrelpaw now had the age and experience to participate in it and make a name for herself.
She was practicing her climbing skills, trying to see if she could do tree-hunting yet, but it was rather difficult with her injured shoulder. In her fight with the loner, he had scratched her ear and one of her shoulders, but the worst wound she sustained was deep scratches and a bite to her right shoulder.
Unsuccessful in her hunt, Squirrelpaw leaped down from the Sky Tree, hissing in pain as she landed. It was then that she detected a pair of eyes on her, and turned to see a familiar face.
"What are you looking at?"

Fallenpaw had made her point clear at the meeting whose side she was on, and she found that it really didn't matter to her. The cats on her side she couldn't bring herself to trust, and the cats on the other side she had a reason not to trust. Well, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, right? So all she had to do was pretend to be everyone's friend. Easy as pie, right?
She found her gaze wandering through the cats in the camp, glancing at each rebel, then to the loyalists. Going over all the cats again, she noticed one of the rebels was injured, and her gaze caught on that cat, who seemed to notice and spoke to her.
"What are you looking at?" the voice asked, and Fallenpaw considered just walking away, then relized it probably wouldn't help the point Shen had just made to herself to be nice to the other cats and get them out trust her. Normally she'd be ok with it, but it had been a long day.
Sighing after a while she answered the cat with a smile. "You. We never got to formally meet. I'm Fallenpaw. You made some interesting points back at the clan meeting." she said, lowering her voice for the last sentence so no one would over hear.

Squirrelpaw had never been a fan of small talk, but she found that it was the best way to gain information from most cats. She forced herself not to roll her eyes at Fallenpaw or make any snide comments, instead looking at the striped apprentice evenly.
"Okay, Fallenpaw, I'm Squirrelpaw." While Squirrelpaw had grown quite a bit since the last time they talked, it looked like Fallenpaw hadn't. Squirrelpaw wasn't really surprised, she always knew that Fallenpaw was too mouse-brained to ever actually amount to anything, and she doubted the other she-cat would even finish her training.
Hearing Fallenpaw's next comment, Squirrelpaw's whiskers twitched in amusement. "Yeah, so did you." She clearly remembered when Fallenpaw had been babbling on about how easy it was to live as a rogue.

Fallenpaw stopped herself from rolling her eyes at the next thing Squirelpaw said. "I would have if anyone had listened. Please understand, I wasn't saying I thought it was easy to live as a loner. I was acctually saying quite the opposite, though maybe I should have phrased it differently. I was saying it is hard to be a loner, and if they want to they should be able to live the easier life provided by our ways." she said, he voice calm. She really didn't want to get into a fight with the other apprentice, and she worried that line of speaking would cause just that, so she changed the subject. The first thing that came to mind would Nebraska to rudely ask what Squirelpaw thought Yellowburr's acctual intentions were, but that wouldn't help her not get into a fight. Sadly, pointing out the obvious that no leader of a group was in it for the pourpos of the group was out, so she thought up something else.
"It's nice to finally acctually meet you Squirelpaw." she said, giving up after a moment to acctually think of something that would change the conversation.

"I don't need to keep repeating myself." Squirrelpaw's lip curled. The loyalists' kept making the same points, over and over, even when counter-arguments were brought up that showed some key flaws in the their ideas.
She flicked her tail. "I don't have anything against outsiders joining TreeClan, but if we allow any outsider to join, then eventually we're going to let in a cat with harmful intentions, and they'll tear us apart." So far, Squirrelpaw saw that the only solution was to make TreeClan less inclusive, and stop allowing cats who'd lived their whole life outside of TreeClan borders to join with no questions asked.
"I wish I could say the same, but it looks like you haven't matured in the least, Fallenpaw." The red she-cat rejected Fallenpaw's kindness.

Fallenpaw grinned. Someone finally got her point of veiw. Sure only part, but it was better than nothing. "Even young kits can have harmful intentions. You are right in the fact that no outsiders should be allowed to join Treeclan. It's just not safe to allow them to." she agreed, knowing the other cat would just ask her why she stuck to the side of the Loyalists if she believed that, and her answer was ready, though she wouldn't share it unless asked. "As for my maturing... I am afraid you are wrong. However explaining exsactly in what ways would be useless. You didn't know me at all before, so you wouldn't see any changes."
