Pollendrone had only gotten a few steps away from the tunnels when she heard the outraged voice of another cat echoing out from within, turning sharply with her ears flattened she focused her eyes on the entrance. Shadeflower She let the name flutter through her mind and her eyes widened as at last she realized who it was. "Um, Shadeflower?" She called out softly, she knew the she-cat had been remained but it felt wrong to call her Weed, still slightly scared someone may overhear though she kept a hushed tone. "Shadeflower?" She called again, this time taking the necessary steps forward so that she was now standing with the front half of her body back inside of the tunnels.

"I could ask you the same thing." She had been shocked by it all, panic had taken over her mind and body and kept its tight grip even after it had ended. "I don't know what I am honestly, but that isn't something you should worry yourself with." It had taken her some time to finally stop the tears that began falling after the ceremony and even now they threatened to return, she shook her head lightly and put on a smile. "You know, you will always be Shadeflower to me." She was hoping to get even the smallest of smiles from the other she-cat, though her words weren't just for show, she meant it. Bloodystar may have taken her name, but he couldn't take Pollendrones right in choosing not to use it.

Pollendrone flattened her tortoiseshell speckled ears at the sound of her apology, she was not angry but it did upset her considering there was nothing Shadeflower could have done to change it. "Stop it, dont apologize for something out of your control." she paused and rested her tail gently on her companions shoulder. "Besides, I'm more worried about the others than myself, I am sorry... sorry that I didn't speak up while it was all happening." She had wanted to, to jump in between the chaos but she let her fear win, and for that she was greatly disappointed in herself. "That big mountain guy hasn't hurt you right?" She asked it suddenly, remembering the large tom that Bloody had put in charge of her.

She nodded in agreement with her words, she couldn't say she would do it differently if their roles had been reversed. "I feel like I betrayed everyone by staying quiet though." She still held a small smile, but it was merely a cover, a facade to fool not only herself but those around her. She lowered herself into a seated position, her ears twitching as Weed asked about the other prisoners, Lionpride specifically. It was no surprise to Pollendrone that she would ask, Weed had stood next to Lionpride and supported him, though she didn't think it much deeper than that. "They are holding up well, Lionpride too. Well as well as you could expect being locked up that is, I never realized how dark it was in there." She glanced around at their surroundings, she wasnt even sure she was suposed to be out alone, but no cat had stopped her so here she was.

Pollendrone didn't comment more on the subject of her silence, she appreciated the comforting words but it did little to change the way she felt about it so there was no reason to push it any further. "You were brave, doing what you did, and I'm sure I am not the only one who thinks that. There's no doubt you are a Sunclan warrior heart and soul, Bloodyrondo seems too blinded by power to see that though." She lowered her voice as the High Priests former name rolled off her tongue, knowing her recent luck one of his goonies was probably not far away. "As for those still in prison, Littlestars kin, I havent been able to figure it out completely... but, I noticed that those of us chosen to be paired with them are ones who have openly supported him or simply not shown any sign of going against him." She paused and looked around for a moment, visibly uncomfortable talking about it in such an open place, but she continued. "Bloodyrondo said that it was my responsibility now, to look after Lionpride and make sure he stayed in his place, I can only assume it is the same for the others."

"You may be right, about him trying to use us to somehow control them, I'll try to find out more though." Her ears twitched a little, she would need to be careful but any information she could find would be worth whatever trouble it got her into. A small smile pulled at her lips when Weed spoke about Lionpride, she new the tom had a large heart and that he cared deeply for others, his family especially. "I know, I've sworn to protect him however I can as well, he has been so strong for everyone else and protected so many, now it's his turn to have some protection." Her brown eyes flashed as she spoke, determined to uphold the promise she had made to herself until the very end.

Pollendrone stood up as Weed did, though she wasnt sure why until she suggested finding another location to talk. "That would probably be a good idea, if anyone says anything though let me handle it. I'm already a prisoner so it wont matter if I get in trouble. We need you out here." She didn't give her time to refuse, turning around and slipping out of the tunnel on quiet paws. "Coming?"

Pollendrone kept a steady pace as the distance between them and the camp grew, her eyes constantly looking around her for signs of life lurking around them. This is what life in Sunclan had become, cats were scared and those who weren't, well they were doing the scaring. "The borders probably aren't safe, but we would still do well to put a good distance between us and camp if we want to avoid attention." She whispered over her shoulder, they weren't technically doing anything wrong, but Bloodystars goonies probably wouldnt care.

She nodded to Shadeflowers comment and let out a sigh. "What we need is for the Sun God to return, if only we knew where he was."

She started to slow down, listening to Shadeflower, she couldn't believe the Sun God would abandon them but it didn't keep the thought from sitting in the back of her mind. "I hope that as well, maybe we should hunt a little, so we don't go back empty pawed." She was also hungry, she hadn't been eating much since being ordered to sleep in the prison cell.

Pollendrone froze, her eyes on Shadeflower as she struggled to find something to say in response. "They feed us, it just isn't as much as we are used to." That was a simple and straight forward enough answer, and it was technically true. She didn't want to give Shadeflower enough room to question her further so she took the opportunity to slip through a patch of undergrowth. "Lets meet back here once we are finished." She called as the tip of her tail vanished from sight.
