[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

Mutations were something that Rhine already knew of, although that didn't mean he was terribly familiar with them. He didn't have any of his own, and he didn't particularly want any, since he liked himself the way he was now. However, that didn't mean he was about to be down on anyone who did have some kind of oddity about them, especially since most couldn't even control it. Despite this, he did have to admit that he hadn't been expecting Honeypaw to end up with any sudden and strange mutations. In the back of his mind, he supposed that was a little silly, considering both Quasar and Tree also didn't look terribly normal. Their pelts were testament enough to that fact – most couldn't even tell what was truly the pair's pelts, or what was just various paint or prey stains that they had gotten. He had a habit of shooting a strong glare in the direction of anyone who had a problem with their coloration, since he just saw it as part of what made them unique.

Of course, despite all of this, Rhine certainly hadn't been expecting Honeypaw to grow wings during the middle of the night. When he emerged from his den and spotted the canine standing there, Rhinestonestar paused, clearly shocked by what he saw before him. At first, he hadn't even realized that it was Honeypaw because of the bright and new flashes of gold on her back. He hesitated for a moment before he moved over, his tail flicking behind him as he spoke, "Honeypaw... those are new. Foamkit's right, though. They are very pretty... how do they feel?" The tom lifted his paw briefly, as if he were going to press the pads of his feet lightly against her feathers. However, he quickly placed his limb back on the ground, frowning slightly – it would be rude to just touch them without asking, especially if they were sore.
