Runningkit bounded to his left flank, ready to take on the 'army of foxes and badgers'.
"Yes sir! I'll go now, Topazblaze!" She mewed obediently, charging into 'battle'

When she saw her tidying up the den, the siamese warrior immediately let herself in and came to Buttercupbreeze's aid, despite being invited. This is the first time he had gotten a chance to actually catch up with Buttercupbreeze and she wasn't going to miss it. "Please, let me help." She began scraping the stray piles of flattened moss together in a neat pile, hoping this would make the process easier. This certainly wasn't a fun task, so there was no way she would let her do it alone.

"So," Dawnstrike broke the silence, itching to catch up with Buttercupbreeze. "It's been a while, hasn't it? How are you doing?" The question was meant toward personal issues, not the whole...Blazingstar situation. There would be time for that, but right now she just wanted to speak with her friend.

Buttercupbreeze was, frazzled. Right after the announcement she had retreated to her den. Finally understanding why Blazingstar has done so after many meetings. Speaking to the whole clan was stressful. From the Breezerock you could see everyone, hear them too. It was not something she was used to nor would she be soon.
Sweeping some stay moss and bits of wool from around the main part of the den she just pondered over the whole thing. How the meeting went. Everything. Honestly the meeting was okay. Better then it could have at least. Though if it wasn't such a sensitive topic maybe it would have been a easier meeting. Getting lost in her mind the molly continued cleaning.
After this maybe she could talk to Beeblaze, he would go with her to get her nine lives she assumed. What if he didn't? Could he refuse? Would she even be able to get to the StarCave? She couldn't remember going before. If she was thinking straight she would obviously know he would go, he was growing into a fine young tom. Even if she didn't spend time with him she would know. He would defiantly accompany her. Yet she didn't understand that at the moment.
A call drug her from her thoughts and she momentarily looked up, enough to register it was a warrior but not who it was. "Yeah." She replied. The creamy feline then went back to work bushy tail slightly twitching as she did. Only did a second voicing from the warrior did Buttercup realize who it was and she almost kicked herself. Her best friend! And she was so sidetracked she didn't notice.
"No, not long at all!" She sarcastically replied only to regret it. Flattening her ears to her head she inwardly scolded herself. Now wasn't the time. "Sorry." The molly apologized before going quiet a moment. That wasn't something she should have replied with when it has been so long sense they had seen each other. "Umm... I'm okay?" Slightly hesitant she said. Her tone coming out more like a question. She wasn't thinking about how she was personally, she was trying to avoid that. "How are you?" Buttercupbreeze asked turning fully to Dawnstrike for the first time. Her pelt had a few clumps of moss and other stuff from the den. While her normally full of life capturing brown eyes where dull and showed signs of pass tears.

"Hey!" He exclaimed, voice muffled from the feathers that still remained in his mouth as he came up to his nest that some kit was currently rolling around in with his mossball. He liked to call it his nest, because since there weren't too many queens in the nursery, there was room to make a little nest of his own, since he didn't have a mother to share one with.

He spat out the feathers into the nest, partially covering the other kit with them as he crawled into his nest."You're in my nest!" He pointed out, not angry or upset, just openly curious. He'd seen this kit around of course, living in the same den, but he'd never really gotten to know the other kit.

The kit was baffled; Your nest? No body had this nest, it's vacant!" He thought to himself. The kit puffed out of strong warrior chest, going out a huff as he released the moss ball. "I'm taking over your territory!" He roared playfully. He shook feathers off him, not minding them too much.

He stood on the nest, taking on his best warrior fighting stance. He may only have been three moons old, but he was feisty and prepared. "I demand war for your territory!" He purred, he was trying not to giggle, having fun with his charade

Goatkit
The young tom blinked in surprise, blue and yellow irises both baffled and amused at the scene before him. This kit, Alpinekit if he remembered correctly, must have been about 2 moons younger than him. And while Goatkit was a little under average, he was still bigger than the other kit.

Though, even when he was so close to becoming an apprentice, Goatkit could never pass on a chance to play with someone else.

A wide grin spread across Goatkit's face as he played along, lowering his chest to the ground with his front legs outstretched, and wiggling his bob-tailed rump in the air. "I'd like to see you try!" With that he let out a fierce, "hwrah!" and pounced on Alpinekit, playfully knocking into his side and giggling through a ferocious growl.

"no I'm sorry Beepaw...I should've been more..well careful in a way? ..." gaze toward the ground with kneeding paws he shook his head at the question . He truly didn't know what's been going on, only that he's been doing what he's supposed to. However once the tom told him his eyes widened and head jerked up wait.....what!?! But how!? "how!? He looked fine to me when I last saw him! Oh my starclan...i...I didn't know ...i...what happened !? " he meowed in shock. "was it sickness ?? It's not even leafbare yet though. ." he guessed .

"Beeblaze." The blonde tom corrected , watching Harveypaws eyes widen in shock at the news of Blazingstars death. "An...infected wound..happened." He said , shrugging lightly as he shifted into a laying position , resting his head on his paws again. "The infection was too bad for me to stop." Beeblaze added on , sounding a bit bitter when speaking about himself. He seemed a bit duller than he usually did , bragging about the fact he knew tons of herbs. Hopefully this wouldn't last long , like with sheerpaws death.

"Where were you , when Buttercupbreeze called the meeting?" The medicine inquired with slightly narrowed eyes. He found it A bit disrespectful that the younger tom hadn't been there to hear about the news. Probably hunting.. He thought , rolling his eyes slightly.

his eyes lit up a bit he has a full name now? I like it! however he just nodded at the correction . His ears folded back at beeblazes current tone, it sounded ...out of character. He didn't like it, he wanted the happy beepaw that he met the first time around. " You can't fix everything ....but the important thing is you tried! Sometimes ....you just need to let nature take its course. Just don't let it ruin you ...please." he meowed . Sighing he gave a small smile " your still amazing to me. I bet to others too! " he added trying to cheer him up in a way.

His stomach sank at that question and slight negative anticipation " there was a meeting?! I didn't hear the announcement..I was out hunting . " . He didn't do anything wrong he just didn't like getting yelled at. Gulping he decided to press his luck further " is that a mandatory thing ?? How many have we had since I've been here!?! Oh starclan....im..." he began then pinned his ears against his head. Eyes closing with self hatred " I'm such an idiot! " he hissed.

Just as the sun was starting to set Buttercupbreeze decided it was time. Time to ask Beeblaze if he would travel with her to the StarCave. Slipping into the Medicine cats den she squinted at the smell and pushed away the thoughts that came to her.
"Hay Beeblaze?" She called scanning the den for the tom. Buttercup assumed he was in here, he normally was and his scent was really strong. The creamy feline invited herself in awaiting a response. Not sure how it would come.

Morningcloud lifted her head to catch the warm breeze rolling through the heathers of windclan territory. It felt so refreshing and comforting to the she-cat to roam about her clans territory solo. Not that she disliked the company of her clanmates - far from it - it was just that she felt the most at peace when drinking in the beauty of her home territory by herself, dangers be dammed. Her muscles felted pleasantly strained after her sprint through the moorland and she was happy to lay herself in the grass, soft spotted fur blowing gently in the breeze as she soaked up the sun, eyes closed and expression lazy

Alpinekit, overcome with the giggles had to pause for a moment. Only briefly though, he slid under the Older kitten and pawed at his belly fiercly. "Grraaah!"
Alpinekit fell into his side on accident, then hopped back up covered in moss. A very formidable opponent. Alpinekit looked at the bobbed tail. "What warrior stole your tail??" He questioned stopping the charade for a moment , and sitting down as if it was story time with the elders.

The announcement hadn't set in right away - although he and Blazingstar were never close, never properly acquainted, the leader's death had hit him hard. It was as if he'd lost a part of himself; after all it had been Blazingstar to allow him a home and WindClan, and he would always be grateful for that.

His amber eyes scanned the crowd of cats, flinching whenever one brushed too close. Another thought struck him. Simmerpaw is- was Blazingstar's son. He was going to be teaching the former leader's son. A thread of anxiety began to worm its way into his thoughts, and he shook his head as if to toss it away. "Calm down," he muttered to himself. "You'll be fine. It'll all be fine. Just... just don't get him killed." Feeling less than reassured, he stood and shook the clinging grass blades from his paws. There, there he was. Goldfeather wasn't sure how he knew, but he was positive the tom with the green eyes, the one sitting in the clearing with his chin tilted up, as Simmerpaw. The young cat had a certain air about him, and for some reason it made Goldfeather fidget nervously.

He approached the apprentice carefully, attempting to look professional while also warm and welcoming. He nodded to Simmerpaw as he drew closer. "Greetings," he meowed, and winced at the shakiness in his voice. He cleared his throat, tried again. "I'm Goldfeather. I assume you're Simmerpaw?"
