Stormwatcher relaxed a bit... this was his buddy, his old friend. Even if Falconmoon was the big mighty deputy now surely he remembered his roots with himself and Sunfire right?
He was honestly a bit shocked by Falcon dipping his head to him, he wasn't arguing but he literally gave very little thought to such formalities at all, still it was kind of nice he supposed... but it made his friend look like he had water stuck in his ear shaking his head dipping it this way and that way in greeting. It was almost impossible to think that the snot nosed stuck up hairball he had as an apprentice was related directly to Falcon. Any sort of formal greetings were lost on the somewhat barbarian Stormwatcher. If Clan traditions and formalities were a subject he would have received a D- ... not a failing grade because they passed him on to get him to be a warrior but lets just say he would have a hard time pointing out the difference between 4trees and the moonstone.
And of course... things turned almost immediately to that topic... The question of how Hickorypaws training was going...
His facial expression soured though and he sat there looking off into the distance as if he just been asked about a past trauma.
"Well erm I mean Falcon you got one tough kit that no one can ever say otherwise... A warrior and a half that one will be"
He scrapped his paw around and finally forced himself to meet his friends gaze.
"alright, its no big secret I don't exactly gets along with him as well as maybe I ought to of, but he can be a bit of a stuck up snot nose at times yea? You ever try telling him he don't gotta pee on everyone else like they're the territory land markings just cause he's the deputies son?"
He gave a shrug and shake of his head, "So yeah he will be a darn good warrior, he can fight real good too. Just make sure he don't become deputy like this in his current state or the clan is gonna disintegrate."
He shuffled a bit on his paws,
"there, you done asked and you got it straight how I see it. Take it how you want it up down or sideways I couldn't care really but just remember you asked. Falcon was his friend... and he realized he was speaking to his deputy, but if he couldn't tell his deputy what he was thinking when asked what was the point of this whole clan structure anyways?? He was never one for formalities in the first place.
He wanted to leave this wretched conversation... but was sure Falcon might have follow ups... perhaps some level of bantering humor would at least help.
"This clan formalities gonna give kinks in my tail... which one am I supposed to do when I leave your mighty presence? bow, curtsy or kiss your cheek? I can never remember he muttered in his usual mood. Part of it was in banter spirit of friendship... its just how boys can be. But the point stood clearly that he was never the formal one of their friend group.
