He asked and tilted his head to the side "I'm not sure I can really play with you if that's what you want, I can't see so it would be a little hard to play." He said and looked down at his paws, his words laced with sadness "maybe you should find someone better to play with." He said and flattened his ears to his head and tightly wrapped his tail around himself.

Frondkit tilted his head to the side.
"Do you mean that you're blind? Cool! But... Better to play with?" He tilted his head a bit more. "Are you saying that you don't think your 'good enough' to play with or just saying that you don't want to play?" He asked, wondering if maybe he had something that had made the other tom angry at him. He couldn't imagine what, but his tail drooped at this.

She smiles, shaking her head. "I'm fine Owlfall. We're all fine." She doesn't bring up that she has burned paws from the fire.

Ratnight looked over his shoulder at Fernpaw in amusement. His response was a quiet smirk, and an eye roll as he padded over to Fennelstrike. "Went pretty well, don't you think?" He purred. Without waiting for an answer, he carried on. "What do you think about Sprucepaw?" He questioned in a soft voice, glancing over at the apprentice. "Sure, he's young, but it seems like he might be a good recruit. Perhaps Nightpaw as well?" Ratnight was a bit let down by how few cats openly supported his plans for the new reign, but he was confidant that they would soon change their minds. He tilted his head, actually wanting his new deputy's opinion on this matter.

(I see ya starfall, just gotta clear the plan with the staff first)

His blue hues flashed with alarm as he realized that Honeykit could easily pin him. She's much stronger than she looks, he thought with a flash of alarm. Honeykit never ceased to surprise him, and he was stunned to realize that she could actually beat him. "Ha! Ashenstrike is stronger than any ThunderClan cat!" He exclaimed, with an excited expression. as he prepared himself to try and pin or defend himself against Honeykit's next attack. Huh. Guess I'm clumsier than I thought, he realized, while he remembered tumbling over. Guess she can't say that she's clumsy now, having seen that, he thought with a grin.

The second he fell to the ground Honeykit took her chance. She kicked off the ground with her hind paws, making large clouds of dust poof up from behind her. While she was still in the air Honeykit blocked the sun from Ashenkit's view for just a heartbeat, making her pale frame light up. She almost looked like the sun, except the sun wouldn't go crashing down into it's best friend. She made the jump good, as it was steady and actually toward he target, but she had no idea how she would land. With her ginger paws pointed at Ashenkit she hoped she could pin him right then and there.

Dawnfrost awoke with a soft yawn, and sat up with a stretch. She fluffed out her coat slightly as the leaf-fall chill breezed past her.

The Clan should start bracing itself, she thought. Leaf-bare's coming.

He flicked his ears and wondered if there was anything in the medicine cat's den for her. "You must've breathed in a lot of smoke during the fire - but you should be fine," he forced a comforting smile. He was sure that she'd be fine, but he wished he could do more for her. I'm sure most of the herbs if not all were destroyed in the fire, the dark tom wished that he had saved at least a few of the herbs, could've been more useful during the disaster. "But you should probably rest, honestly, stressing out and moving around too much will be the worst you can do," he wasn't aware that she didn't really have anyone that could've been claimed by the flames, so didn't know that she wasn't too worried nor too stressed. He bit his lip for a moment before speaking up about something was was gnawing at him. "Hey... you heard Ratnight's announcement, didn't you?"

"...I don't need anything. It's not that bad, just some smog caught in my throat." Twitepaw shook her head, her pale blue eyes gleaming with interest as he suddenly began to talk about Ratnight's announcement of leader- "Well, he's my mentor's mate, I think. It's not exactly that bad, I don't think, but I'm still a bit suspicious." She wasn't really that suspicious of him, but lying might be the best answer when talking to a medicine cat, who relied on Starclan for almost everything. "Starclan hasn't been around much, I don't think, but the idea that they've left us is a bit shaking, right?" Twitepaw never exactly believed, but nobody needed to know the dilute calico's opinion on her ancestors as she talked, her paws planted firmly on the ground as the molly tried her best to remove the hoarse sound from her voice caused by the smoke.

[Hexict]

He gave a quick nod as the molly informed him that she was in no need of herb. He was glad that other than the smoke she seemed fine. He still hated how the the fire had devastated their territory and they were forced to move - similar to how the flood was. His ears perked up as she stated that she wasn't entirely sure about their new leader - though North hadn't noticed that she was actually lying to him. "Yeah, me too," he gave a small nod and glanced around to make sure that not many others were listening in. He knew that some of them were loyal to Ratnight, and wasn't looking for a fight of any kind. His orbs looked saddened when Twitepaw pointed out how Starclan seemed to be giving the clans the cold shoulder. He had to admit that she was right about that much. "I suppose you're right... in all my training, I've never seen Starclan - medicine cats are suppose to see them, but they've been so silent..." he didn't know why Starclan started to act this way towards them. The young tom had started his training not too long after Bucknight came to power and around when Blazingnight did, meaning the Dark Forest was already growing more powerful and forcing Starclan away. But how could he know that? "But still, doesn't mean that we should turn from Starclan, right? I mean, the clans have followed their guidance for countless moons and it's not a tradition that could be easily broken," but even as he said this, Northpaw's voice shook ever so slightly.

But what if Starclan hasn't been so silent? What if they had to do with the floods and the fires...?

"Oh...hello. I don't believe I ever caught your name the other day...is there something I can help you with?" She asked. Unfortunately for her, Stormpaw was one of those cats who rarely thought someone would be looking for her, as in just to talk with her or spend time with her. Stormpaw smiled again, a little more uneasily this time, as she eyed the tom. Wasn't this the cat that she had helped in the fire? Yes, yes it was...oh, so he probably had come over to ask her something. Or tell her something. She shrugged a little, used to this by now. Was he actually nervous or something? He had stuttered a little when he had spoken to her...although truth be told, at the moment, she didn't look exactly approachable. Stormpaw felt a little bad- she hated to make other cats feel uncomfortable, and she straightened up, trying to make herself look as neat and friendly as possible. A friendly glint entered her blue hues, and she was able to stop struggling to keep a positive expression on her face, even if it didn't match the blank mask that she felt at the moment. She waited for the tom's reply, continuing to keep her friendly exterior up.

Dragonkit jumped up from his spot, his fur bristling as he heard something behind him. Just as he was about to turn around, a sudden weight landed on his tail, followed by a familiar sounding cry. "Echokit! You scared the fur off me!" He mewed, his fur still bristling fiercely. Dragonkit's normally neat ebony pelt was now strewn in all directions, and he shot a strange look at Echokit before allowing his fur to lay back down. "So, what's new?" He asked, with a small smile. It took pretty much everything in him to do so, but he managed it. He was glad that he didn't have to smile all the time. It'd probably drain every last bit of energy that the young tom had. "Or, what's new that I don't know about, I should say..." He mewed, realizing that the fire was certainly something new, but something that he already knew. Dragonkit kept his blue gaze fixed on Echokit, the smile slightly faded, although there was still a small trace of it left on his maw. He was glad to have met the positive young kit. Hey, she had managed to get a smile out of him. Ha, if she'd known me for longer, she'd probably be amazed, he thought with a small snort, wondering what his sister would think if she saw him right now. Die of shock, probably; Dragonkit almost never smiled.

Hiddenpaw relaxed a little as Stormpaw sat upwards and looked less tense. After the fire, he had been a little jumpy himself, which was quote odd for the courageous young tom. The cream and white apprentice settled himself down as well favoring his injured leg. "I just wanted to thank you," he spoke with a little more confidence in his tone now. His amber hues studied her expressions as he spoke, although it was hard to tell he was doing such a thing "you know... For helping me during that crisis," he spoke. The idea he had gotten help made him uncomfortable. It wasnt something he did... Or did often. He was quite stubborn, but he might've been dead right now if Stormpaw hadn't stumbled upon him. "I'm Hiddenpaw, also" he finished, introducing himself with a small dip of his head. Hiddenpaw certainly owed this she cat something.


Echokit purred with delight at his reaction. "ha! I did get you!" her tail shot straight up and she stood up herself. Her hues were bright despite his bristling fur. Seeing his normally sleek pelt ruffled only encouraged her behavior. Staying where she was, the tabby kit watched and listened, assuming he didn't mean the fire when he asked his question. She thought for a moment before she thought of something exciting. "one more moon and I'll be an apprentice!" she boasted, fluffing out her chest with pride. It was only a matter of time before she would be out there training with all the other apprentices. "How about you?" she asked, settling herself down with her tail wrapped around her paws neatly now.
