DUSKLION
she/her | riverclan's head lionheart | 28 moons

The wariness in Wings eyes, the way it seemed like there were perhaps a dozen other cats she would rather talk to... it made Dusklion want to curl up in a hole. The head Lionheart tried her best to disguise the hurt but standing to her paws and ducking her head to smooth down the fluffy fur of her chest. She was glad to hear that her brother's apprentice's training was going well and that she already knew of some of the landmarks. "Good. I'm glad you're familiarizin' yourself with the territory. Soon enough, you'll know it like the back of your paw."

Walking alongside the she-cat, Dusk kept an ear perked to listen to what Wings had to say. "Hopefully it'll be a time for everyone to relax a bit," she agreed, wondering briefly if here would be a way for her to... socialize here. She knew without a doubt the only cats who actually liked her here were Mists, and maybe Breezy and Owls. Cobs, too. Fades, she still wasn't sure of. At one point she had thought Wings too, but... It was alright. Giving a shake of her fur as they arrived, the small dark tabby let Eaglepaw run forward and dip her paw in. "They always stay warm. No idea how, though," she purred, a grin crinkling her face as she watched the young 'paw chirp in delight.

Just as she was about to walk over to join Wings, another cat coming up caught her eye. Ten moons old and yet still a kit. She hoped her brother was planning on doing something about that soon, since Birdsnow hadn't seen fit to do it. She was almost full-grown, for stars sake! Getting to her paws she headed over towards Rainingkit with an apologetic look in her eyes. "Sorry, kid. Know you're all grown up 'n such, but we can't have you out here. Fades's rules." With that she nodded in the direction of camp to lead the young-ish cat back.

[ since rainingkit is still a 'kit in name and came after the group had left, she'll be escorted back to camp! ]

Silkwisp
Riverclan warrior

Silkwisp launched forward as the lizard scrambled in fright towards her in reaction to Roseshard. Talons out, she brought a hard paw down of the reptile, ending it's life with a sickening crunch. Curling her wispy tail in satisfaction she hooked her prey with a claw and turned to her clanmate.

"Good job, dude! Now let's start snacking! " Grinning like a chesire she laid the lizard in front of them and plopped down, inviting Roseshard to sit with her. He didn't seem to like the lizard very much...well, they could always find something different right? Besides how bad could it be? Being quite dense, the tall she-cat decided to let her hunting partner have the first bite, even though they were obviously disgusted by it

Eaglepaw's earlier hesitation had faded in the light of these lovely warm springs, the apprentice focusing on making ripples with her paws. The mask she kept over her face was slowly dissolving, the sunlight, fresh air, and open space making her feel more comfortable than she ever did in camp. And Dusklion was smiling at her, which... Eaglepaw didn't know she needed. She smiled back.

An apprentice a few moons older--wait, a kit? ... Eaglepaw frowned. She thought she was pretty big for an apprentice, but this kit was massive! How old were they? Dusklion was chiding them and telling them to go back to camp. Dusklion turned to lead the kit away, and Eaglepaw felt a flicker of disappointment. But Dusklion had her job to do, and Eaglepaw understood. She'd be back, probably. Eaglepaw gave the kit a smile, waving her tail.

Note this is before she was recently apprenticed. Rainingkit sighed and walked back towards the nursery. An apprentice waved her tail at her. In acknowledgement she waved her tail back.

VenomWink looked at the elder in front of her, she seemed somewhat friendly. But personally, did she have time for something like this? Like hell, she didn't! ' ' Sounds lovely. ' ' she says with a simi sarcastic voice, she wasn't into this whole ' being nice to cats who weren't love interest thing' but maybe it would pay off. She followed the elder into the hot springs behind FadingSun, her new so-called leader she was supposed to respect. He didn't seem so bad in all honesty but if you asked her it should be her on the throne.

"You can cut the lip with me darling, I have had enough kittens to know a moody cat.." Elderberrymint yawned seeming not really personally offended but more of a croning mother trying to curb a bad behavior of a new grandkit. She was a lovely cat, maybe some sugar in her personality would get her a mate quick. "I think you should be more authentic with other cats, they certain like knowing exactly how one is. I see a lovely shecat before me. Tell others how you truly feel darling, but perhaps don't throw claws at them with your words." She yawned before looking to the waters. The elder hoped that this didn't start a fight as she would rather to have a nice time, and maybe not be yapped at by the younger cats about disrupting the peace.

' ' Cut the lip, old-timer. I don't need your advice,' ' VenomWink retorted with a sneer, her icy gaze fixed on ElderberryMint. ' ' I'll handle things my way, and if other cats can't handle it, that's their problem. I don't need to sugarcoat anything to get a mate. I'm fine on my own.' ' ElderberryMint's unsolicited words irked VenomWink. She prided herself on her independence and resented being told how to behave, especially by an elder who she perceived as old-fashioned and out of touch with the modern feline world. ' ' Authenticity? Ha! What do you know about it, with your outdated advice and old-fashioned ways?' ' VenomWink retorted, her tone dripping with disdain. ' 'I don't need to change for anyone. If others can't handle the truth, that's on them.' '

"Hmm you seemed to have forgotten the part when I said cut the lip." Elderberrymint said as she started to groom her paw nonchalantly. The temper of another cat didn't matter to her, she was far too old to care anymore. That was for the young cats to worry about. And it seemed like this cat worried about it too but hid it with anger. "Right and my outdated advice got me to my current moon count. Darling, where are your parents?" She asked softly. There was a hurt somewhere.
