grasshopper post got me thinking... does sorreltail have any friends in windclan that she can go nuts over grasshoppers with?
Considering I imagine Torear is always having problems getting his sons (Kestrel and Hare) to eat their vegetables, he feels right for that! He probably makes some BANGER grubcakes and forged a good bond with Sorreltail during the journey.
It'd impress him that there's a ThunderClan cat who can scoff down hopper poppers with the best of 'em and try to teach her the trick to getting them perfectly crunchy.
Other friendly WindClan cats who are active around this time;
Pigeonflight He's an elder, or being goaded into retiring, but he was part of the BloodClan trading patrols and would be pretty chill with being approached.
Addersong A kit that Talltail saved from an adder, cinching the deputy position over his own son, Flytail. Addersong just gives me big Aftergathering Buddy vibes. He also plays the breezebone.
Snapstorm An ex-BloodClan trader who joined along with her bestie, Brushblaze. I feel like her old habits die hard. She's just a natural networker, she loves connecting people, having friends in other Clans, and cutting deals with them. I'm sure Onestar did eventually make it into a bit of an issue in his later, more paranoid years.
