"Wow, I'll send some warriors over to that spot to take a look at the paw prints," Bramblestar decided. "Thanks for telling me about that," assuming that he was being excused, Stonerise dipped his head and headed towards the entrance to the den. "See you tonight, Stonerise," Bramblestar meowed as Stonerise exited the den, glancing back in confusion. Stonerise went into his nest and rested after a hard day of work.
