He is shown to think ThunderClan cats are sneaky and that Ivypaw might be planning to attack the camp. He tells Ivypaw to be quiet when she comments on what some of the warriors are talking about. Starlingpaw turns on her when she startles Mistkit, Dewkit, and Sparrowkit. He says that the kits have been raised with stories of how ThunderClan cats eat kits for fun and that they'll have bad dreams for days.
