  • Leopardstar asked Graystripe how Firestar thought of this which took Graystripe off-guard. He came up with a lie - "He... er... he said more or less what you said," he replied awkwardly. "We're warriors; we can deal with this." (Quoted from the book).
  • Leopardstar asks Graystripe what sort of sickness Firestar had caught. Lying horribly, Graystripe told her that Firestar had whitecough, turning into greencough, which earned a glare from Cloudtail.

[]

  • As Graystripe arrived at Highstones, he felt it was weird without any medicine cats accompanying him or the bitter taste of traveling herbs.
