My Anxiety Keeps Me Silent || Open, Joiner

[RHINESTONE.]

On one hand, it was natural that not everyone would know that he was leader just by looking at him. That would be ridiculous. After all, he hadn't suddenly gained any particular markings that very obviously made him a star to everyone who passed, so he could forgive Penumbra's confusion. However, it was simply the way that Penumbra expressed herself that made Rhine smile a bit, his shoulders shaking with soft laughter he only barely managed to hold back. He didn't want to laugh in her face and embarrass her any further, but the entire situation was just so amusing that he couldn't help a couple of chuckles bubbling out. Once he was done, he pressed a gentle paw against his own muzzle to silence himself, muttering with a nod of his head, "Yes, I would be the leader of Palmclan. I've been the leader ever since a recent hurricane struck us." Perhaps talking about the hurricane wasn't the best thing to do with a fresh-faced new joiner, but it wasn't as if it couldn't happen again. Best for her to know what she was getting herself into.

When the other feline expressed that she would need a guide, he found himself nodding once again, a calm smile appearing on his face. He muttered as he turned, tail flicking to let Penumbra know that she could follow him, "Alright, come, I'll lead you to camp. Sugarspice, if you'd like to accompany us, feel free to do so." He didn't know if the other warrior had anything she needed to get to, but either way, he provided her with the option. He led Penumbra away from the forest part of their territory, away from the sparse grass spread across the earth and towards the sand that so many Palmclanners were used to.
