Proudpaw saw an opening. Without really stopping to think about it, he bit into Blackrabbit's throat, tearing it. He stood there for a moment, catching his breath and seeing if Blackrabbit was truly dead. Then he looked around for a new opponent.

Proudpaw was a little surprised, but he zipped out when he realized he had the chance to. He spun around, swiping a paw at Blackrabbit's face.

Proudpaw realized what was about to happen before it did, but it didn't help much. He attempted to move and ended up partially pinned under Blackrabbit. He snarled and scratched at the warrior with his, free, front paws.

Proudpaw spun around at his name, and smiled. Someone wanted his help, recognized his value, and it was a good chance to fight some Eclipseclan cats. Well, and he didn't want Silversplash hurt he supposed. He ran over. Hopefully the Eclipseclan cats hadn't noticed him yet. He jumped, aiming to land on Blackrabbit and attack from on top.

(MC) Proudpaw ran into the crowd of fighting cats, unperturbed. It almost seemed like he was ignoring them all, but he was keeping his guard up, watching the corner of his eyes. He wouldn't let anyone get a surprise attack on him. In the meantime, he tried ti figure out which cats were Eclipseclan and Sunclan. If Earthclan was on their side he couldn't just go attacking cats he didn't recognize.

Cherrybloom looked around, feeling slightly unsure of what to do now. She was pretty sure only Moonclan cats were gathering around the entrance, though if they were really going to fight she was willing to help. Then again, she'd agreed to hunt as well. Did those conflict? She'd much rather hunt, if only one was an option. Proudpaw tuned out the, clearly unimportant, conversations of the cats around him and focused on Blossomstar. After the announcement was over he got up and made his way to the entrance.

Cherrybloom smiled and nodded. "I'm Cherrybloom," she whispered to Rookcatcher, not wanting to speak over the other cats. She wasn't particularly worried about the battle. It wasn't that she wanted to have one, but it seemed far away. Proudpaw couldn't say he cared who the new deputy was, but he tossed out a flat congratulations, more out of duty than anything, before turning back to Blossomstar. A battle? Now that seemed more relevant to his life. He leaned in slightly, listening intently.

Cherrybloom curled in on herself slightly when Meadowclaw spoke. Blossomstar wasn't her leader, but they were in the camp right now, so they at least shouldn't talk over him. And Cherrybloom kind of wanted to know what was going up. She glanced occasionally up at the leader. She turned to Rookcatcher as he spoke about hunting. "Do you need anyone to go with you? If we're staying here we should pull our weight. I could come." Proudpaw muttered to himself. He still din't like the Earthclan cats being here. But he sat down in camp when Blossomstar looked like he was going to announce something. He looked up at the leader, ignoring any Earthclan cats.

"Oh! Well thank you," Cherrybloom said, surprised at the compliment about her name. "I'm glad Nightkit is going to be alright." She fell silent after that. She watched Ivywhisper come over and nodded to her, trying not to feel to pleased when she was given credit. She hadn't done that much. She looked around Moonclan camp. She was sure Moonclan was pleasant enough, they'd formed an alliance with the clan after all, but it was certainly unfamiliar and a little overwhelming. "How long do you think we'll stay here?" she asked. "Before our camp dries up that is."

Cherrybloom nodded and smiled slightly. "I'm glad he's doing better. Oh!" She laughed slightly. No, she hadn't introduced herself. She was glad Cloverleaf had done so first, it felt bad not to know. "I'm Cherrybloom."

Cherrybloom nodded. "Of course." Truth was, she was getting worried as Cloverleaf said more. She didn't anything to happen to a young kit, but it didn't look good, but she had to appear calm. Aside from shaking slightly herself, she did seem pretty calm. She sat down with Nightkit, doing her best to keep him warm.

Cherrybloom sat in Moonclan camp. She was feeling a little uncomfortable. They'd been welcomed into camp but everyone was off doing duties and she was left standing there. She noticed Cloverleaf come in right away and stood up, eyes widening. "Oh no. Is there anything I can do?" She could look around frantically for a medicine cat, and would if Cloverleaf asked, but if there was anything else it would be good to know.

Proudpaw huffed. He didn't like this, and he doubted anyone could convince him other wise. "Doesn't matter I suppose," he said. "They're staying whether I like it or not."

The expression Proudpaw was making looked a bit like he'd drank some sewage water. "But do we really need that advantage?" he asked. At least he'd lowered his voice. "I'm sure we wouldn't end up in a mess like this."

For a moment Proudpaw just stood there watching in genuine shock. He hadn't expected Earthclan to stay, at least not so easily, like this sort of thing happened all the time. "And why are we putting so much effort in?" he asked. He covered up any remaining surprise and leered. "Can Earthclan cast not take care of their own problems?"

"Yes, I'm sure giving me the easiest job in the whole clan will encourage hard work," Proudpaw said. He grudgingly got up, only to stop again when Blossomstar arrived. Now they'd find out why Earthclan was here and if they'd be staying, however unlikely that should be, and Proudpaw wanted to be there for it.

Proudpaw's fur went up a bit. He hated being put on tasks that were, as far as he was concerned, trivial. "And why should I have to take care of something like that? There are other apprentices. Actually, if Earthclan is staying here, maybe their apprentices should take care of it."

Proudpaw followed Grousethorn's gaze, noticing Milfoilcloud. He shook his head. He certainly wasn't going to make a fool of himself in front of another, technically intruding clan. "I hope this gets cleared up soon." He sat down and adopted a bored look, though he did want to know what was going on.

Proudpaw walked out of the apprentice den only to stop in surprise. He shook his head. No. What seemed like the entirety of Earthclan was still there. He looked the Earthclan cats up and down and sneered, unimpressed. "And what exactly are they doing here?"

Cherrybloom followed her clanmates towards Moonclan. She stayed towards the back. Feeling cold and wet, she didn't want to have to focus as much as the cats in front probably did. She wasn't too concerned though. They just needed a place to wait until their clan wasn't filled with water. Why would Moonclan say no? Staying in place, she looked around at as much as she could.
