Warrior's Return/Chapter 3

==Chapter description==
:Graystripe wakes up and is greeted by Diesel bringing him a mouse to eat. Millie explains that Diesel lives at a truckstop and offered to let them rest for a days until Graystripe's shoulder heals. Diesel elaborates that Millie had told them about their quest, but hasn't seen any Clan cats pass through, though he does point out the nearby road will take them to the sea. Graystripe realizes he's talking about the sun-drown-place, and attempts to stand up to resume their journey. However, while Diesel admires Graystripe's enthusiasm, he insists Graystripe must rest due to his injury, and gently knocks him down. Graystripe both suffers from the pain of his shoulder and feeling he has to compete with Diesel in front of Millie, though Diesel compliments Graystripe after witnessing Millie's hunting skills. Graystripe realizes he's never admitted to Millie how he feels about her, but is constantly interrupted by Diesel or Millie dotting on Graystripe's injury.
:Graystripe grows increasingly jealous at Diesel, especially when he and Millie spend time together and she teaches him how to hunt. Diesel shows them how to tell which monsters came from the sea since they smell like salt and fish and sometimes have long boards on them. One night, Millie brings a bird to share with Graystripe, and Graystripe's prepares to finally admit his feelings when Millie interrupts him with an idea. She explains they can hitch a ride on a monster to get to the sun-drown-place faster due to Graystripe's injury, but he is flabbergasted by her idea. Diesel adds that it sounds like a solid plan, and Graystripe snaps at Millie for conferring with Diesel. She admits she sought his advice due to his expertise with monsters, but Graystripe worries they'll be killed by the monster instead. Millie acknowledges the dangers, but is willing to face them for Graystripe. Graystripe leaves them to reflect about her idea, and wallows in his thoughts how he can still be a warrior while breaking the warrior code to return to his Clan.
