ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

Mountaingrowl has kits? This was news to Flintstar. He wasn't big on keeping track of who was related to who, he simply remembered the names and faces of his clanmates. Ears perking up, Flintstar turned, tilting his head slightly. This was a more... delicate issue than he'd originally thought, and he was going to step more carefully around it. "Ah I see." He meowed, voice low as his gaze drifted to the ground. The biggest question was if Buckbranch could handle an apprentice, while juggling being a new deputy an getting criticism from the clan. And I have to think about the kit too. Would they be... shunned for being in relation with Buckbranch? He didn't want that for any kit. "How old is Sagekit? Do you know if he's around apprentice age?" If the kit was younger, Flintstar believed that would be a better option. Give the clan some time to cool down, and give Buckbranch some time to step more fully into his role.

Buckbranch rubbed at his nose with one paw. Goodness, it was cold outside. He fluffed up his fur and edged further into the den, where it was bound to be a bit warmer. His claws scraped nervously at the ground, carving shallow groves into the rocky dirt. "Six moons old," he replied. The concern in Flintstar's eyes was evident as the other tom turned to face him. "I talked to him about it," he added with a tilt of his head. "He seemed enthusiastic. I can handle it, don't worry." Though he hesitated for a moment, he took a step forward and playfully jabbed Flintstar in the shoulder, offering a crooked grin that only just betrayed his uncertainty. "I'll win ThunderClan's trust back one way or another."

[RedHead]

Flintstar bounded out of his den, freshly re-energized after a good night's sleep. He hadn't had that in a while. I should probably send out some patrols... Haven't done that in a while. The leader glanced around for Buckbranch, decided he could send a few patrols out, just to balance the load for his new deputy. He'd also stand back and make sure the selected cats got up off their butts and went on the patrols they were assigned to.

[OPTIONAL PROMPT: There's an odd scent in the air near the Windclan border, but it's not extremely worrying.]

"Jaggedhawk! Icedust! [ Fuzzy ] You two go out on a patrol to Thunderglade. Remark the border there. Make sure it's strong." He called to the two young warriors at the edge of the clearing, both of whom hadn't done much lately. Two warriors would suffice for that patrol, Windclan had still been surprisingly quiet.

Glancing around the clearing again, Flintstar spotted two more cats to send out. "Songthorn [ hxneysuckle ], please take your apprentice, Moonpaw, and go on a hunting patrol. She'll need the practice." Giving a nod to the warrior, he turned to create the next patrol. He'd leave the Shadowclan border patrol to Buckbranch to send out, and possibly one more patrol.

[OPTIONAL PROMPT: There's a large rabbit just inside your border, reeking of Thunderclan scent. Has one of you clanmates broken the warrior code?]

"Blossomclaw! [ Pepperkins ] Please take Adderfrost [ Nebby ] and Whisperingfeather [ sunflowerseed ] as well as his apprentice Pinepaw [ Ever ] to the Riverclan border. Make sure the markers are strong." It was a bigger patrol than the others he'd sent, but he assumed that young Pinepaw would need some more introduction to the territory so she could get used to it.

"Buckbranch, you put together the Shadowclan border patrol and another hunting patrol. Then that should do for patrols for today." He meowed to his deputy, giving the other tom a stern look. This was a deputy's job, and he wanted Buckbranch to know that this would become only his job once the clan's mistrust had died down a bit.

Blossomclaw glanced up from her... whatever she was doing with a small frown. 'Great, just as I got some alone time,' she thought, sighing as she glanced around quickly to spot her clan mates. Can't a leader respect some peace? Why send her out, of all people. Groaning inwardly, she thanked Starclan that it wasn't a hunting patrol at least. Now that would have been embarrassing. She couldn't hunt for the life of her. The only major thing wrong with this patrol was she got sent out with an apprentice. Like what is this, a training session? Let 'em learn on their own time. Or at least not on her time. Finally getting up, she gave a small stretch with a large yawn, glancing around again before unnecessarily walking to the middle of camp and plopping back down while she waited for everyone. This just was another time for her to wish she could be a queen. Shoot, she needd to find a mate first. Ahh, daydreaming again. Seemed to be a habit these days. She didn't wanna end up getting told something and missing it so she shook her head to clear it quickly and jumped back up to wait so she didn't get comfortable.

Adderfrost padded over to Blossomclaw, remembering seeing a lot of her during the whole situation with Buckbranch and claiming WindClan territory. He dipped his head to her. "Blossomclaw." He greeted as he raised a back paw to scratch his ear.

Pinepaw bounded after the leader's words. No matter the gossip she was spreading with her fellow apprentices, she was going to listen to her superior. She gave him a sweet smil as she flitted by on her long limbs and went to join Blossomclaw. She hadn't been to the Riverclan border yet. This was so exciting. She grinned from ear to ear and puffed her chest as she slowed next to the warrior.

"Riverclan border, huh?' She meowed, looking around the clearing for the other cats. "This aught to be fun!"

[RedHead]

The tom watched Tallmarsh work dutifully, and he remained quiet as she did, only giving a small noise of agreement to her statement about the badger. Flintstar held still as Irispaw came up to him after Buckbranch and started fanning his wounds, preventing himself from wincing at the sting. He crouched down so she could get some of the scratches higher up on his body, such as the one on his shoulder, and when she was done , he straightened up and focused on Tallmarsh. “Well... not sure how this will be taken... but...” He glanced at Buckbranch, then took a deep breath. “I’ve decided to appoint Buckbranch as the new deputy.” He didn’t give any further explanation, simply watched and waited for her medicine cat’s reaction.

Buckbranch cast a concerned look at the stranger in the corner of the den. ShadowClan scent made him wrinkle his nose as he sniffed at the air, and he opened his mouth to question who it was and ask if he was okay, but before he could Irispaw patted at his ear with a watery moss ball. He flinched at the sudden sting, but the pain faded swiftly. His good ear swiveled back and forth.

Flintstar's careful glance made him shift anxiously, but the leader's announcement made his jaw drop. For a moment he could do nothing but stare, utter shock etched into his face. "M-me?!" he managed to finally stammer out. "But... but why me? Even after the whole outburst at the last Clan meeting? What could have possibly possessed you to choose me?"

(Sorry this took so long!)

Sunsnow hesitated. He had meant to go alone, not in a group. He´d wanted some time to clear his head. Well, it´s not like I can just brush them off. They might go hunting and interrupt me anyways. The tom frowned at the pair, scrutinizing them. ¨Fine. But expect me to rant, I´m not in a good mood.¨

Actually, ranting sounded pretty good! He did love to ´share´ his opinions. Plus, this would help him blow off steam and convince these cats to question Buttercup as much as he did at the moment! It would be great to have some help keeping him in check. If he tries anything, it would be easier to stop him if I had a few allies.

With that, he trotted off without bothering to look behind him and check if the others were following him.

He knew they would.

He deserved to be followed, unlike Buckbranch.

Stormpaw padded over to Rosepaw. "Look, i'm sorry if i hurt your feelings. Its just that, I don't want to disappoint Bumblestep. I know you worked very hard." He said. Stormpaw didn't think the little comment he made would hurt her feelings. "Are you okay now?"

Near the middle of the clearing, the handsome tom was laying down with a few other warriors . Some he barely knew personally but that didn't seem to bother him. Eyes sparking Lion laughed with a silvery white tabby she cat "my your quite the funny one aren't you?" he complimented making the she cat smile. " anyways lovelies, I best be off . I had a Fun chat~ " he announced before heaving himself off the ground thus allowing his powerful shoulder blades to be seen rising .

Though as he left, he noticed something ....he still felt lonely . And boredom quickly grew noticeable once more . Grunting in dissatisfaction he scanned the area in hopes of someone to entertain him with . why do all these cats seem ...dull ... "I guess that happens when you do too much socializing .." he meowed to himself .

Crowtuft slips through the camp entrance, black pelt shining in the quickly fading sunlight. He enjoys the crisp feeling of the last wisps of light on his pelt, knowing that cold weather was steadily setting in. Shaking his fur out, Crow spots Lionwhisker and his light blue eyes glitter with interest. The golden tom was extremely attractive, and Crowtuft wished to speak with him. Squaring his shoulders and holding his chin in the air, the young tom approaches Lion boldly. "Hey Lionwhisker. How's it going?" His meow holds a quiet purr, his muzzle twitching in a slight smirk.

[Leucos]

xoyami

Ears perking up at a slightly familiar voice he turned his attention to the black feline " ah! Crowtuft! I've seen you here and there before . " he smiled as he the other approached . " nothing much, just the usual though " he answered Then he smirked "well now, someone's being a bit bold today aren't they ? I like it " he always tended to like cats like that anways, they proved to be more entertaining .

Looking the other up and down he padded around him "though I must say, you've made it easier for me. Trying to hunt others down sometimes is a bit...tedious in my opinion . But other times it's fun." though this was one of the times when it was tedious . "so, what brings you to chat with me? " he hummed as he stood back infront of crow with a raised chin and puffed chest.

[xoyami]

SilentLamb
Crow whisks his tail, expression alight with a mysterious look. Perhaps he felt playful, or even amused? "Oh, I just noticed you here, all on your lonesome for once." His voice takes on a lilting tone, and the tom mrrows quietly. "Usually you're surrounded by a flock of she-cats." His eyes soften a bit, and he flicks his ears. "I thought that you might enjoy the company of a tom once in a moon or so."

[Leucos]

xoyami

He chuckled at that "why of course! I love to shake things up a bit ~" he said with a shoulder roll before sitting. He looked at the leaders den before humming "things are changing ....aren't they? New blood coming in...mixing things up... I almost wish things would go back to when we had fallenstar, passionstar powdernose etcetera ..." he thought allowed before looking back at crowtuft "don't you?" .

[xoyami]

SilentLamb
Blinking slowly, Crowtuft shrugs a little, sitting down next to Lionwhisker and tucking his tail around his paws. "I suppose so. Though, the change is exciting." Light blue orbs glittering with enthusiasm, he nudges Lion's shoulder. "Lighten up, would you? You're starting to sound like a grumpy old elder. Where's the Lionwhisker we all know and love?"

His face gleams with playfulness, almost daring Lionwhisker to try and deny his accusations.

[Moon Lily]

The tom watched Tallmarsh work dutifully, and he remained quiet as she did, only giving a small noise of agreement to her statement about the badger. Flintstar held still as Irispaw came up to him after Buckbranch and started fanning his wounds, preventing himself from wincing at the sting.

Irispaw nodded to Buckbranch after she was done, and murmured a quick thank you as Flintstar leaned down so she could clean his wounds. It was harder to reach, but she managed to get it done. She hurried off to sit next to Tallmarsh, squeaking when she heard the news.
"Congratulations!" She purred, smiling at the newly appointed deputy. A small happiness for the tom welled in her chest, though she was a bit disappointed as the tom objected.

She glanced over at Shadestripe, who looked...like he'd...? She shook her head. She couldn't find words to describe it. She sauntered quietly over to the tom, smiling anxiously.
"Are you alright?"

[Leucos]

xoyami
Humming at the response he nodded as well . But ..half heartedly . Then he raised his brow at the nudge "me an elder? Please! Even then I'll still be just as exciting ." how dare he....calling me old.... though the sour mood soon began to fade. Grinning he raised his chin "he's still there . I'm just starting to think more often . Try it sometime won't you darling ?" he shot back . Perhaps it may have been a bit much...but he did his best to sound light hearted too . "speaking of which....this conversations starting to get boring, let's go have some fun shall we?" he suggested with an excited leap.

[xoyami]

SilentLamb
His tufted ears burned a bit at the sound of Lionwhisker calling him "darling", but he quickly shook it off. Rising to his paws as well, Crowtuft tilts his head at the golden tom, silently asking what he would like to do.

[Leucos]

xoyami

As loyal as he may be, he also loved breaking some of the minor rules. He grinned at how curious the tom looked that's when he padded closer and whispered in the others ear "how about we do some night time exploring eh? Step outside the boundaries a bit? To the great beyond? " he whispered . Then he eyed the clearings exit "perhaps have some fun around the twolegs own clan hmm? I've always been curious at how they live ." yes he was talking about heading to the place where kittypets stayed in the many rows of twoleg dens.

[lone]

Pinepaw stretched as she came into the clearing. Her golden eyes were slit with exhaustion as she looked around lazily. She had hoped that some general excitement would be happening this evening, but it appeared the clan was relaxed. She sighed and looked through the orange-basked clearing. The setting sun had turned it into such a different place. The snow now thickly covered the ground. The chill of the world bothered her much less than it had the night she'd run away from her kittypet heritage with her brother. Her eyes found a fellow apprentice relaxing near the den. She smirked. At least there would be someone to try to stir the pot with.

Pinepaw found herself fitting in quite well. Even more than she had imagined. She had thought life would have been difficult, and it truly was, but in a good way. The run, training and chase she dis every day was exhilarating. It felt like she had always meant to be doing this. It also fed much into her newfound passion for gossip and the spotlight. It just so happened that she had also walked into the clan at the perfect time for there to be something spicy to bring up everywhere she went. The new deputy.

Pinepaw sauntered over to Quillpaw. She recognized the fellow apprentice. She knew most of the by name. Though she wouldn't say she had any best friends yet. Her only true and trustworthy friend was her brother, Pantherpaw. She wondered how much Quill would be in for some gossip. She had been out for the day and wanted to know if anything new and exciting had happened.

"Hi Quillpaw." She purred sitting beside him and wrapping her thin tail over her paws. Her silver goat shone golden in late day light. "Anything exciting happen in the clan today? I wonder how that new deputy is doing, he seems to be a rather unpopular choice... What do you think about him?"
She looked into the sleepy apprentice's eyes with a sickly sweet smile, hoping for anything but a dull answer.

Quillpaw hadn't been present at the Clan meeting announcing the new deputy. He had no knowledge of the tension between certain Clan cats and Buckbranch, and as a result, was considerably confused when Pinepaw approached to ask what he thought about their new deputy. The last he'd heard, they didn't have one. So who is this? Clearing his throat, and fixing his eyes on his paws, Quillpaw was careful not to give too much away through his speech. What would she think of him if she thought he was this uninvolved in Clan life?

Then again, Quillpaw had never seen her before. With that knowledge, he figured she might've been an outsider. It made more sense, anyways; he was familiar with most apprentices his age, and Pinepaw didn't look like she was all that old.

"Have we met?" He mewed, confusion filling his voice as he spoke, green eyes meeting her gaze.

"And, uh.. I feel a little foolish for asking this, but what about the new deputy? The last I heard, we didn't have one." Then again, Quillpaw had never been one to catch up with the latest gossip. Perhaps he could've used a little more involvement in his own Clan's activities, but he didn't see a use for messing around with all of the extra information that came with it. Here was this she-cat, coming up and asking him about someone he had no idea was even in a position of power, and by the looks of things, this wasn't a good situation.

He already looked dumb for his questions about the new deputy; Quillpaw doubted he could look much dumber. What was the worst that could happen, anyways? Some random cat dislikes me? Yeah, a real loss there, he thought, before cutting himself off before he could think anything worse. Being nice seemed like a more appropriate response in this situation.

maplebriar padded off right when sweetpaw showed up,"what are you doing" she asked wondering why hes out here

The apprentice watched as the warrior walked off, nose twitching in confusion. Who just walks off in a middle of a conversation? An interaction! Rude. A new voice caught the Bengal's attention, however. He turned his head to see a molly, possibly around his age? "Hiya! M just laying here. Trying to be warm. I heard one of the warriors say that mud's warm and it'll keep you warm. So I'm giving it a shot." he explained, pushing his paws further into the, more dirt than mud, squishy earth, as if to make a point.

Pine rooled her eyes and huffed dramatically, slumping her shoulders in
She had really hoped he knew more, but he hadn't even been at the meeting where she had joined the clan and the deputy had been announced. She glared at him through slit eyes trying to decide how to approach this. She hadn't exactly come up to him just for friendship. Her tail tip tapped where it was curled around her paws. She laid her ears to the sides and scanned the clearing with disinterest.

"My name is Pinepaw. I joined a few nights ago." She glanced over at the young Tom and sighed again. He seemed so meek, and she was supposed to be making friends with her fresh start here. Not enemies because she could bite her tongue and reign her temper. "It was during that same meeting that the new deputy was announced. The warriors put up a big fuss about it, but mt mentor ushered me away just as the bickering began. I was hoping you were there and could fill me in..." Guess I will have to find my information elsewhere.[

She looked away from Quillpaw. She had an uncomfortable feeling in her chest, the fact that she knew his name from talking to the other cats but he hadn't noticed her yet. She frowned at the ground, she just wanted to know everyone and everything. Was it really so bad that he hadn't noticed her before? She didn't know but her chest felt a little tighter. She snapped herself out of her frown and glared at nothing across the clearing, she didn't want Quillpaw to know what bothered her and what didn't.

Crowtuft's eyes widen in shock, but quickly shifts into one of curiosity and mischief. He had also always wondered what lay beyond the borders as well, and didn't mind getting into a bit of trouble. His pelt tingles with excitement, and he digs his claws into the frozen ground. "Yes, let's do that!" His full tail swishes ecstatically, paws kneading the floor impatiently.

He smiled in satisfaction at how easy the other was to persuade . He didn t see a lick of resistance to the idea ! Stepping back he chuckled again "hush now. We don't want others getting nosey now do we?" he added in a low voice . Eyes gleaming, Lionwhisker walked towards the territory in a very lion like fashion . His shoulders rising up and down with powerful movements , head high with pride .

Crow watches Lionwhisker prowl away, awe dusting over his features for a brief moment. Snapping out of his momentary trance, the birdy pads after the lion, a bit of a bounce in his step.

His thick black fur blended well with his surroundings, though his silvery striped legs did glow lightly in the light snow's reflection. He followed his clanmate quietly, ears perked and listening for any other footsteps.

[WellHelloThere]

Fennelkit stretched, and glanced over to Ashkit. "Hello!"

The leader flicked his tail. That’s right, Sagekit was nearly apprentice age already. There were a couple other kits he believed needed to have an apprentice ceremony done as well.
As Buckbranch gave him a playfully nudge, Flintstar gave him an offended look, but quickly laughed it off. He didn’t need to make the poor tomcat more worried.
After another moment of consideration, Flintstar gave a small nod. ”Okay, here’s the deal. I will allow you to mentor Sagekit. But you’re still stepping into the role of the deputy, and I personally know that is one of the hardest things to do.” The leader smiled fondly, remembering his time as a mentor to Minktail. “I sometimes didn’t have enough time or energy to train my apprentice, so she was left often without lessons, which is not good for a young cat.” Flintstar gestured our of the den with his tail as he continued. “So I will assign you a warrior who will be somewhat of a... backup mentor. They will come with you to some of the training sessions, and will do some of their own training sessions with Sagekit when you can’t.” Flintstar believed this would’ve helped him train Minkpaw, had he been given this option. “I’ll even let you choose who you would like, as I know there’s not many cats in the clan who are... fond of you at the moment. I’d prefer you choose someone without their own apprentice as well. Does that sound like a deal?” Flintstar leveled Buckbranch with his green gaze, awaiting to see what the tom would say.

Raccoonkit wasn't being that active as she watched others play around, probably even trip over the tiny runt, or that's what she's called, getting apologies like 'Sorry runt!' Or 'Oh I didn't know you were there runt' which she doesn't answer to any, well nobody asked her name, just knew she was a runt of her litter, that's it. "If only someone would call me by my real name...I mean..that would be nice." She sighed before curling back up to her little form of a ball.

Huh. Quillpaw hadn't met a cat from outside the Clans before; truth be told, he hadn't even met one from outside of ThunderClan. He'd never had a desire to, either; he was perfectly happy with sticking what he knew. He'd never gotten hurt by a ThunderClan cat, and he was hoping that he could remain unhurt by happily going about his day-to-day life within the Clan.

"Nice to meet you, Pinepaw." He mewed, giving her a small smile. She seemed annoyed, although why she should be, Quillpaw couldn't understand. He hadn't done anything wrong (yet), and as far as he could tell from her words, she liked ThunderClan. Well, she liked it as much as any cat would with her particular experience at the ceremony.

"I promise we aren't all like that. You know, some of us are pretty nice." Quillpaw would've categorized himself under "pretty nice," although he was sure that not everyone he met would. As a matter of fact, he was more likely to be put under a "boring" category than a nice one. Pinepaw would likely figure that out for herself; Quillpaw certainly wasn't going to tell her if he didn't have to.

Focusing on Pinepaw, rather than the distraction of the clearing, it wasn't hard to notice when she seemed to get irritated. Quillpaw still didn't know what he had done, but poking into her business seemed like an ill-advised move at this point. After all, he wasn't a fan of getting his ears clawed. Pinepaw didn't seem like she was going to hold back, either, so Quillpaw remained silent and waited for her to speak.

Being polite seemed to get him a pretty long ways, anyway.

Geckopaw watched as the apprentice began to roll around in the mud, wincing back as it splattered here and there, trying his best to avoid it. "Relax in it, Don't play in it! If we play in it we'll get in trouble, but if we relax in it we won't. Foolproof plan." he boasted, a smug expression plastered on his face.

As Flintstar laughed, Buckbranch began to relax. His fur flattened and he sank into a more comfortable position. A half smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. He nodded as the leader spoke, understanding that Flintstar had gone through the same thing and knew what he was doing. Buckbranch trusted the older tom's judgement.

"Another cat?" he echoed. His brow furrowed for a moment, as if he were confused and a little offended that Flintstar thought he couldn't handle Sagekit himself, but then look quickly disappeared. His first thought was Sunsnow, and he opened his mouth to relay this to Flintstar, then clearly thought better of it. He had no idea how Sagekit would react to Sunsnow, and the only other cat he'd seen talking to the kit was... "That Foxbound cat," he meowed. "I've seen her talk to Sagekit; she seems like she likes him."

[RedHead]

The leader saw Buckbranch’s furrowed brows, and he tensed for a moment, wondering if the tom was going to defy his suggestion. But then he watched as his deputy relaxed, and Flintstar allowed himself to do the same. This was a small thing that didn’t need to be argued over. And thankfully Buckbranch saw that.
At his request, Flintstar smiled fondly. “Ah yes, Foxbound. She’s a brilliant warrior, especially with all that she’s been through.” He’d heard the stories from Passionstar, he he strove to protect his niece because she grew up parentless, and even now she was struggling with the loss of both her uncle and grandmother. “It’ll do her good to have something more to focus on.” He then titled his head slightly, ears flicking, concern growing in his green eyes. “But i’m surprised at your choice, hasn’t she expressed her dislike towards you? She’s... well.. aggressively loyal, and you don’t exactly line up with that right now.” Flintstar didn’t mean to be rude, but he was genuinely curious as to why Buckbranch would choose her. The tom was okay with it of course, he knew Foxbound wouldn’t go as far as to harm Buckbranch, unlike some others he suspected, but he expected she wouldn’t even exactly be nice to him either.

Slowly Buckbranch's grin faded, replaced by an almost embarrassed sort of expression. He looked down at his paws. "Well," he mumbled. "she has, but that's beside the point." He remembered the way she had spoken to Sagekit, so kind and gentle that Buckbranch was a little jealous that he couldn't project that kind of emotion into his voice. "You should have seen the way she talked to Sagekit, like he was her own son. It's... well, I suppose it's one of the things I like about her." As if noticing his slip, he blinked several times and shook his head, adding quickly, "And anyway, shouldn't I get to know my Clanmates a little more? It's kind of my job, in a way." He shifted his feet, lifted his head. A small spark of anxiety had entered his eyes, but it was also accompanied by a sort of dull excitement. Yes, he could get to know her, but perhaps he could also get her to like him just a little bit more. He sighed and let a small grin creep onto his face. "C'mon, Flint, what's the worst that can happen?"

[Ever]

Huh. Quillpaw hadn't met a cat from outside the Clans before; truth be told, he hadn't even met one from outside of ThunderClan. He'd never had a desire to, either; he was perfectly happy with sticking what he knew. He'd never gotten hurt by a ThunderClan cat, and he was hoping that he could remain unhurt by happily going about his day-to-day life within the Clan.

"Nice to meet you, Pinepaw." He mewed, giving her a small smile. She seemed annoyed, although why she should be, Quillpaw couldn't understand. He hadn't done anything wrong (yet), and as far as he could tell from her words, she liked ThunderClan. Well, she liked it as much as any cat would with her particular experience at the ceremony.

"I promise we aren't all like that. You know, some of us are pretty nice." Quillpaw would've categorized himself under "pretty nice," although he was sure that not everyone he met would. As a matter of fact, he was more likely to be put under a "boring" category than a nice one. Pinepaw would likely figure that out for herself; Quillpaw certainly wasn't going to tell her if he didn't have to.

Focusing on Pinepaw, rather than the distraction of the clearing, it wasn't hard to notice when she seemed to get irritated. Quillpaw still didn't know what he had done, but poking into her business seemed like an ill-advised move at this point. After all, he wasn't a fan of getting his ears clawed. Pinepaw didn't seem like she was going to hold back, either, so Quillpaw remained silent and waited for her to speak.

Being polite seemed to get him a pretty long ways, anyway.

Pine turned to look at him out of the corner of her eye as he spoke. She already didn't like Quillpaw very much, he didnt do a whole lot or talk very much. She didnt really know where to go next with their conversation. He hadn't had anything fun to talk to her about, not anything interesting to fill her in on. She didn't really feel like small talk, but maybe that would be necessary to fit in here. It wasn't like her though. She liked doing things, or using conversation for something exciting.

"So, Quillpaw. What is your favorite thing to do around here anyways?" She asked. This should give her a little insight to what Quillpaw was truly like. Maybe he was a little more fun than he let on, and maybe he wasn't. Being herself she answered her own queston for herlsef before even letting Quillpaw answer. "I quite enjoy training and partols so far. Patrols are so exciting! You never really know what could happen on them."

She could already feel her fur tingling with excitement as she thought about her training with Whisperingfeather and time out in the forest. It was so exhilerating compared to her cramped life in the kittypet nest. She looked at Quillpaw with more interest now, the discontempt having been replaced with curiosity.

(Sorry this took so long!)

Sunsnow hesitated. He had meant to go alone, not in a group. He´d wanted some time to clear his head. Well, it´s not like I can just brush them off. They might go hunting and interrupt me anyways. The tom frowned at the pair, scrutinizing them. ¨Fine. But expect me to rant, I´m not in a good mood.¨

Actually, ranting sounded pretty good! He did love to ´share´ his opinions. Plus, this would help him blow off steam and convince these cats to question Buttercup as much as he did at the moment! It would be great to have some help keeping him in check. If he tries anything, it would be easier to stop him if I had a few allies.

With that, he trotted off without bothering to look behind him and check if the others were following him.

He knew they would.

He deserved to be followed, unlike Buckbranch.

Dustbreeze smiled. It would be nice to have some company for a change. She usually liked to perform her unassigned daily duties on her own. It would be a good opportunity to get to know some of her clanmates. Especially some of the older warriors. She only knew the younger ones who apprenticed with her. She'd only just been named a warrior not long ago. She trotted after Sunsnow.

The tomcat heard Buckbranch’s slip, loud and clear. He smiled, trying to hold his maw closed as to not start laughing. But the way the deputy reacted to his slip-up caused Flintstar to burst out chortling. He had never imagined Buckbranch as... well to be honest he’d never imagined Buckbranch as anything. But especially not as a tomcat that would slip-up about his romantic likings. The leader was finally able to compose himself after a moment, and he shook his head, green eyes full of amused mirth. “I’m sorry Buckbranch, just... the way you reacted to realizing you said that out loud...” He chuckled again, but then regained his composure, looking at the deputy with a fond smile. “So in reality, there’s deeper intentions as to why you want her to help you? Is that what I’m hearing? He smirked, enjoying teasing the tom about something lighthearted like this. It had been a while since Flintstar himself had dealt with crushes, so seeing it in another cat made him feel like a young warrior again, gossiping with his friends about the prettiest she-cats in the clan. “But you are right, you should be getting to know as many of your clanmates as possible. Though it seems to me you want to get to know Foxbound a little better than most.” He smirked again, enjoying the turn this conversation had taken way too much. He then shook his head at Buckbranch’s optimism, laughing darkly. “Oh Buckbranch, when it comes to she-cats, the worst is what will happen.”

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the highpeak for a clan meeting!" Flintstar had bounded up the highpeak, it was around sunhigh, and after his talk with Buckbranch, it was time to perform a couple ceremonies for young kits. He also wanted to reveal the alliance he'd gained with Icestar and Shadowclan at the last gathering. And, he'd taken the hint from Icestar that if they were to help with battling Riverclan, his warriors would need to refresh their battling skills. Especially since Thunderclan was still in a smaller state from the devastating fire that had occurred.
The large black tomcat waited for his clan to gather, eyes scanning the crowd to make sure that the kits and the mentors he specifically needed to address were gathered. He glanced down at the bottom of the highpeak as well, to make sure that Buckbranch was taking his place there, as the deputy.

Buckbranch's ears flattened and he mumbled something about it only being a quick crush, although he figured both he and Flintstar knew the truth. Already lines were circling through his thoughts, trying to piece themselves together into a poem or two to gain Foxbound's interest. But as he forced a smile, he couldn't help but let out a laugh of his own. It did seem silly that, while he was meant to be focusing on settling into his role as deputy, his attention was instead fixated on a kit and a she-cat who seemed to despise him. "Yes, I suppose you could say there are deeper intentions," he chuckled. "I mean, when I first laid my eyes on her..." He paused, then shook his head, another quiet laugh escaping his throat. "Sorry. I know it must seem odd."
Then Flintstar's dark snigger made him frown again. Yes, she-cats could be quite touchy and unpredictable, but while Foxbound seemed a little touchy, Buckbranch's first impressions had been of a sweet, loyal, determined cat who wouldn't jump to quick conclusions and make rash decisions. He ducked his head a little. "Well, I'm a little hungry. Gonna go grab a bite to eat."

With a deep breath, Buckbranch took his place at the bottom of the Highpeak. Although his face showed nothing but a proud smile as he grinned reassuringly at the approaching cats, he was a nervous wreck on the inside. A nervous prickle rolled in his stomach, and anxious thoughts tumbled through his head. His first Clan meeting as a deputy, and if that wasn't enough, he was also receiving an apprentice. If that didn't take the cake, the fact that Sagekit was Mountaingrowl's kid surely would. Truthfully he wasn't entirely sure about it himself, but he needed to gain his Clanmates trust. And he would have Foxbound to help him train Sagekit, so, at least that was a bonus.

[xoyami]

Sagekit bounds to the clearing beneath the highpeak, swallowing nervously. His pelt itches with anxiety, the tabby kit uncertain if he was worthy of becoming an apprentice. Sage swishes his plumy tail against the snowy ground, head ducked slightly and eyes looking up at his leader. He really hoped that his mentor will be Buckbranch, considering how kind the tom had been and how he had offered.

A sliver of worry blooms in the young cat's chest, and a shiver runs through his frame. He truly hopes that everything will turn out fine.
Slushie RedHead

[RedHead]

"You're not odd." Flintstar reassured Buckbranch, though he laughed a little at his own comment. "well, maybe a little. But what I mean is that it's natural to be attracted to a pretty she-cat. And I'm in no place to judge, happened to me." Flintstar's smile faltered only slightly as he remembered Flightgaze, the first cat to have ever caught his interest. But he quickly pushed her out of his thoughts, focusing instead on his paws as he looked down at them for a moment.
When Buckbranch announced he was leaving, Flintstar glanced up and gave him a nod. "Alright, you go and do that." He meowed, tail flicking slightly. "I'm going to get up and have a clan meeting in a bit, so make sure you're there alright? It'll be to apprentice Sagekit to you, plus being attentive and present at a meeting is going to get you a good view from the clan." Flintstar gave his deputy one last dismissive nod, and then lay down, beginning to groom his paws after noticing there was some dirt on them he hadn't cleaned earlier in the day. He had debated to tell Buckbrach about the alliance he'd formed with Shadowclan, but he'd made that decision before he'd made Buckbranch the deputy. So Flintstar figured that the tomcat would just hear the announcement with the rest of the clan.

The she-cat padded towards the meeting spot with a somber expression on her maw. Her blue eyes just a touch colder than usual as she took her seat behind some of the other gathered cats. Dragonflysong paid little attention to the toms up ahead, her eyes flickered around towards the young kits ready to be apprenticed with that maternal warmth that had once been extended to all the cats in her clan. The flame point curled her bushy tail around her paws and puffed up her pelt to fight against the chill of leafbare.

[HazyDream]

In the midst of the gathered cats, a small head seemed to poke out from the crowd. Twilightpaw gazed eagerly at Flintstar who was perched up on the Highpeak. His two bright turquoise eyes fluttered from place to place, taking in the abundance of other felines that had become glued to each other, just standing beneath the towering shape of their leader. "It better be something good," a murmur escaped his lips as he found a place between his Clanmates, sitting down and grooming his short fur with elegant swipes.

[RedHead]

Foxbound made her way over to the highpeak at Flintstar's call, ears flattened to her head as she sent a personal glare to Buckbranch, whom she spotted at the bottom of the highpeak, where the deputy sat. What a mouse-brain. She inwardly growled, sending her glare up to Flintstar as well. Sitting on the edge of the crowd, Foxbound bent to give her paw a lick, running it over her ears as she awaited whatever announcement their so-called leader was going to make.

Cherrybubble bounded over to the medicine den and placed herself on the edge of the crowd of cats closest to it, green eyes flicking over to see if Tallmarsh and Irispaw would be emerging from within it. She hadn't seen her friend in a while and was desperate to talk to her. But she understood that the medicine cat was busy, with training Irispaw as well as that stupid Shadowclan medicine mouse-brain.

Stormcloudkit bounded over to the Highpeak, fur extra fluffy in excitement. I wonder what's happening! Could it be my apprentice ceremony? Maybe it's news! Ooh, what if it's a BADGER or a FOX? Scary! Or maybe Starclan has a special prophecy for us! On and on his mind went, full of ditzy but nonetheless interesting thoughts.

The black tom took a seat and stared up at Flinstar in awe. He looks so regal and powerful! I want to be just like him someday! He immediately puffed out his ches and swapped his smile for a stern expression. He stilled his waving tail and though to himself; I bet I look just like him right now! Maybe he'll even decide to pick me for a deputy instead of Buckbrach! I know I'm a little young, but I'm sure a wise leader like Flintstar can see past that.

In his mind's eye, he could see Flinstar looking down on him, naming Stormcloudkit as his new apprentice, then as his deputy. Then the clan cheered his name: 'Stormcludpaw! Stormcloudpaw!' But what was this? Flintstar turned to him with sadness and hope in his eyes. 'You know what? Now that I think about it, I can see you must be stronger than me. I need to make you leader right now!' Then he dipped his head to Stormcloudstar and stepped back as the clan cheered. Oh, how they cheered! 'Stormcloudstar! Stormcloudstar! Stormcloudstar!'

Meanwhile, in reality, Stormcloudkit had his eyes closed and was smiling a big, goofy grin.

Tallmarsh nodded in thanks to her apprentice. She looked Buckbranch up and down, sizing him up. "I hope you've chosen well, Flintstar," she said, turning back to the leader. "ThunderClan needs solid leadership right now. If we have a deputy as strong as you, we can get back on our feet." She glanced back at Buckbranch. "And congratulations." She put one paw on the top of his head and pushed his head down to a level she could easily reach. She spit some of the paste on his ear and spread it across the wound. Once she was satisfied with her work, she moved over to Flintstar to do the same thing. "I'm sure you'll be a great deputy, if Flintstar has chosen you," she said.

"flintstar could i come in" she asked

It was cold, and Buckbranch officially hated it.

How frigid did leaf-bare have to be? His toes, good ear and nose were numb, and he was shivering horribly. They should rename it to cold-leaf, he complained silently. Or Freeze-My-Starsdamned-Toes-Off. Yeah, that'd sound nice. With an angry grumble he licked a paw and began to groom his face, ears and whiskers, attempting to get the frost out of his fur. How it had gotten there, he had no idea, and probably never would. Freaks of nature, he supposed.

Now that he thought about it, he probably should have been talking to Sagekit, but he didn't want to force the kit out into the cold, and taking up half the nursery wasn't exactly ideal either. But he really did want to talk to Sunsnow. It had been a while, after all.
Heartstruck

[RedHead]

Smiling down at the two kits he was to apprentice, Flintstar let his voice ring out over the clearing once again. "Stormcloudkit and Sagekit have reached the age of six moons, and should now be made apprentices." He waited for a moment to let the kits step forward, then continued with the ceremonies.

"Stormcloudkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and are ready to become an apprentice. From this moment on, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Darkpaw. Your mentor will be Dragonflysong. I hope she can pass all that she has learned down to you." He angled his ears towards the she-cat in the crowd, giving the newly named Darkpaw an an encouraging smile.
Heartstruck Moonraven

He then turned his attention to Sagekit, letting out an unnoticeable huff of breath. Flintstar had decided earlier on that he would talk to Foxbound privately about helping Buckbranch mentor Sagekit, as announcing her as a second mentor in front of the whole clan would probably not go well for Buckbranch. "Sagekit, you have reached the age of six moons as well, and are also ready to become an apprentice. From this moment on, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Sagepaw." He paused for a moment, turning his gaze towards Buckbranch. His pause was short though, as he pushed away fleeting doubts and continued on. "Your mentor will be Buckbranch. I hope he will be able to pass on all he has learned to you."

After that, Flintstar gave a moment for the clan to start shouting the two new apprentice's names, before he called out to them again. "I also have something else to discuss with the clan." He meowed loudly, his voice holding a ringing confidence. He'd made the decision to make an alliance with Shadowclan, and he believed it was a step in the right direction. Thunderclan and Shadowclan would be powerful, brought together. Although Flintstar was still wary of Icestar, he knew he just needed to keep his wits about him, and he would be fine.

Buckkbranch rose from his place beneath the Highpeak, yet another smile beginning to split across his face. Although he tried to contain his composure, he couldn't conceal the raw elation that lit the green depths of his eyes. He was a mentor now! And mentor to the best, sweetest kit in all of ThunderClan. He couldn't have been more proud, of himself or of the newly named Sagepaw. He came to a stop in front of his apprentice, and if he managed to catch Flintstar's brief hesitation, he gave no sign that he had noticed. He bent down to touch his nose to Sagepaw's, closing his eyes as he did so. "I'll teach you everything I know," he murmured softly. "And I'll make sure nothing happens to you, I promise."

He straightened, and like an arrow, Foxbound embedded herself into his mind. He glanced around the clearing for her, finally spotting her at the edge of the crowd. A worried frown overtook his features for just a moment, but it disappeared quickly, replaced once again by a bright grin. He waved his tail at her, hoping to catch her eye. He needed to speak to her about the training arrangement he and Flintstar had come to, preferably before whatever big announcement came. A little prickle of worry climbed its way up his spine, and he hoped it wouldn't end like last time. That would be the last thing he needed.

Blossomclaw tiredly wandered about the clearing, not really having anything to do but visit the nursery again. Considering she had already been in there today, she was bored once again. Seemed hard to keep this cat entertained for long. With a huge sigh, she settled just outside the warriors den. She took a glance around before laying her head in wait for anything to happen.

Sagekit... No, Sagepaw looks up at Flintstar with wide eyes. His heart thumps loudly in his chest, excitement trumming through his pelt. He was made an apprentice! And to Buckbranch! The young tabby cat kneads his forepaws in the frozen ground, walking over to Buckbranch and solemnly touching noses with the older tom. "I will do my best to be a worthy apprentice," Sage murmurs quietly before departing from Buck.

Buzzing with unusual energy, the newly named apprentice looks up at his leader as Flintstar continued his speech.

[Moonraven]

Heartstruck
The flame point's eyes brightened immensely upon hearing named called out for an apprentice. The motherly feline rose to her paws and padded over to the newly named Darkpaw. She wondered if the kit knew of his name change... the warrior didn't think too hard on it. Noting how the young cat had been looking at the leader with such revere made her assume that he had dreams of grandeur, she would her best not to dash those dreams, but she'd also do her best to teach him that having a place of power shouldn't warrant arrogance or abuse. A leader was nothing without those that followed them, it took a lot of responsibility to lead without drowning or silencing the voices of their clanmates. Oh, but she was getting ahead of herself here. First, she had to teach him how to be a good warrior.
The warrior stopped beside the apprentice noting that he seemed to be in his own world. She let out a purr of amusement while bending down to touch nose with him and giving his forehead a fond lick of her tongue. "Aren't you adorable?" She grinned while raising her head. "You and I will make a great team." Dragonflysong restrained the urge to nuzzle the cute kit, it would seem her stay in Thunderclan would be prolonged for some moons.

I'm late! Pantherpaw fretted, jumping out of his nest. To my first clan meeting! How must that look to his clanmates? He wanted to appear cool and sleek, and maintain a good-looking presence. He was the leader's apprentice, after all. It would be so unbecoming of him to show up late!

Despite his poor timing, he sauntered out of the apprentice's den with a purposeful stride, setting each paw carefully down one after the other, the same soulful strut that he used to do alongside his sister at those fancy cat-shows, with all the flashing lights. The housefolk always seemed to eat it up, and he was always rewarded for it, so it became his usual stride. He flicked one ear and shook out his luxurious pelt before shoving his way into the crowd, hoping to spot Pinepaw. Listening to Flintstar, it sounded like he hadn't missed the important part of the meeting yet.

As an unknown tom seemed to strut his way into the clearing, Twilightpaw's attention was quickly redirected to the confidently posing tom. His ears perked up for a moment before slowly seeming to lay flat against his head. The black tom had seen many cats like this that were arrogant in nature — narcissistic, uncaring... And this gait seemed to awfully remind him of them and their unsettling personalities. His paws shuffled in place, whiskers twitching curiously as the other apprentice seemed to barge his way through the bundle of gathered cats. Sure, even he himself had problems with finding a comfortable seat amidst a Clan gathering, but he didn't thrust his way around the frames of his Clanmates.

Then again, maybe he was just judging another cat by their walk, which to him seemed stupid. Maybe I should just... get to know him better and I'll see if I'm right. Twilightpaw seemed to creep up near Pantherpaw - a eager look in those turquoise orbs of his. "Uhh.. hi. Pantherpaw is it?" - he knew the tom's name well since they were both ThunderClan, but he was just making sure - "I'm Twilightpaw, you probably know that." The tension seemed to linger in the air, deafening the tall black apprentice's ears until he seemed to pick out the right words. "First apprentice ceremonies and now a discussion? What do you think this is gonna be about?"

Pantherpaw's large ears perked up when he was approached by another apprentice. Ah yes, this one...name, what's his name... at that moment, Twilightpaw had spoken his name, and Pantherpaw's prayers had been answered. He didn't want to look like a jerk. The former kittypet puffed out his chest as he looked down his angular nose at his denmate.

"Yeah, I'm Pantherpaw," The grey tom nodded curtly. Of course he knows who I am. I'm kind of a big deal. He kept one ear trained on their leader as he spoke, not wanting to miss anything else. He wanted to discuss what Flintstar might say next, but he was still so new...He didn't even know about all the other clans yet. He didn't want to admit how little he really knew about clan life. "I suppose we'll find out soon enough," he said. He figured that would sound smart, while not betraying his ignorance.

Adderfrost padded over to Blossomclaw, remembering seeing a lot of her during the whole situation with Buckbranch and claiming WindClan territory. He dipped his head to her. "Blossomclaw." He greeted as he raised a back paw to scratch his ear.

Pinepaw bounded after the leader's words. No matter the gossip she was spreading with her fellow apprentices, she was going to listen to her superior. She gave him a sweet smil as she flitted by on her long limbs and went to join Blossomclaw. She hadn't been to the Riverclan border yet. This was so exciting. She grinned from ear to ear and puffed her chest as she slowed next to the warrior.

"Riverclan border, huh?' She meowed, looking around the clearing for the other cats. "This aught to be fun!"

Blossomclaw flicked her ear in hello to Adderfrost and glanced down to the apprentice. She seemed eager enough, which is probably the only reason she gained the slightest bit of patience for this trip. "I guess so, but we need to head out now, no time to waste." she replied, getting up with a slight stretch and beckoning the others to follow. She glanced behind her to make sure the others were were following before heading out of camp.

Darkpaw sat, stunned into silence. What? Why didn't Flintstar take me as his apprentice? He was going to, that must have been his plan! The black tom was close to tears.

Was it something I did?

No. Flintstar was just putting other's interests before his own, as usual! Maybe all the warriors wanted me to be their apprentice REALLY BAD just like he did so he was selfless and let Dragonflysong have me! Yes, that must be it! Back to his happy self, Darkpaw grinned up at his new mentor and blatantly stated; "Hi! I'm the deputy-in-training. You must be my mentor!"

Then he remembered- He was Darkpaw now. Huh. I guess it was just to make me sound cooler. 'Darkstar' does have a ring to it! And maaaaaybe he's giving me my deputy and leader ceremony later so that I'll have more experience!

Experience. Oh, Darkpaw could only imagine what fun battles would be- he'd be the biggest, strongest, most toughest warrior around! Deep in his imagination, he could see it; Darkdeputy- yes, that would be his warrior name, because he was going to be deputy from the start- Darkdeputy was throwing cats around, knocking them out with a single blow, winning the whole battle all by himself! Oh, but look, one of those mangy Windclan cats had Flintstar! He bounded over and threw the mangy thing off of him and carried the leader back to camp, with cheers rising up from his clanmates; 'Darkdeputy! Darkdeputy! Darkdeputy!' And- and then Flintstar looked up and said; 'You mean Darkstar!" And BAM he was leader, but with more credibility than the original plan!

Perfect! Darkpaw thought to himself. Life is gonna be even better than I thought!

A large brownish black tom sat right outside the warriors den. His eyes wondered the camp clearing watching a group of kits play outside the nursery. Bearfuzz let out a purr as one playfully pawed at a leaf. He stood up and walked over to the fresh kill pile and pulled out a vole. He hadn't hunted today, so this prey wasn't for him.

The tom took a mouse out as well and padded over to the nursery. He walked in and came back out with the mouse. Bearfuzz walked over to the elders den to drop the last prey off before heading back over to his spot. He wanted to go hunting, but didn't like going alone, so he waited.

"Does anybody want to go hunting with me?", he called.

Slushie

Luckily, Buckbranch didn't have long to wait to do so.

Sunsnow was scanning the clearing for that traitorous tom, fur prickling with worry. I should never have taken my eyes off of him! He's probably spilled our secrets to the enemy clans already! Oh, Starclan, what if- He cut his thoughts off when he spotted a certain dark pelt outside of the leader's den.

He sighed with relief, allowing himself to relax, then tensed once more when the annoying burr looked around for something- an exit? Cats watching him so he can be sure it's safe to sneak out? Well, not on my watch! You aren't going anywhere, idiot.

Sunsnow bounded over to Buckbranch and sat next to him, giving the poor tom a sneer. I know what you're up to, Buttercup.

And I won't allow it.

With a sigh she shurgged. "Mind if I join you? I don't have anything better to do." She replied, tensing her muscles to get up if told yes.

[RedHead]

"I have had a talk with Icestar, at our last gathering, and formed an alliance with Shadowclan." Flintstar announced, delving right into the subject. He waited a moment to let those words sink into his clanmembers, before continuing, rising his voice if needs be. "She has requested Thunderclan's help in putting Riverclan in their place. And in return, she will help Thunderclan with our dispute with Windclan." The black-furred tomcat flicked his tail behind him, a large, triumphant grin crossing his face. This is what his clan needed. An alliance to keep them from sitting on the sidelines any longer. Thunderclan was no longer a neutral clan. They now had things to settle, and an alliance to be a part of. "Now, that being said, if you find a Shadowclan cat on our land, they are most likely a messenger from Icestar. Please do escort them to camp, and we will be less hostile towards Shadowclanners for now, with this alliance." He eyed his clanmembers as he finished, trying to see if he could decipher which ones were wary of this plan and which ones were excited. "I will be increasing border patrols along all of our borders, as we haven't been keeping up with those lately. And I would also like regular battle training to be going on, and Buckbranch will be in charge of regulating that." He glanced down at his deputy, trying to gauge the tomcat's reaction to this news. It was news to every cat in his clan.

[nykyrian]

" No, I don't mind I always enjoy company " she replied as she stood up Pepperkins

She nodded and got up, starting to head towards the entrance. "Ready when you are," she called, thinking maybe she could get some hunting done for the clan while she was out. Better than nothing.

Buckbranch tore his gaze away from Foxbound to focus on the announcement. A small flicker of surprise quickly overtook the proud grin, and he stood swiftly, early shocked by the news. An alliance with ShadowClan? The surprise faded almost instantly, replaced by a look of grim understanding. It made sense, after all; Lionstar seemed to despise ThunderClan at the moment, and with his Clan's and WindClan's current feud, the only logical solution was to team up with the remaining Clan. And no matter how much he hated the idea, it made sense, and he would not give his Clanmates the satisfaction of witnessing another heated outburst.

"Of course, Flintstar," he said. "I'll see to it that battle training is arranged as soon as possible. And I'll notify the ones who were absent from the meeting about ShadowClan." I just hope that this alliance doesn't come down to a fight. I hate battles...

The tortoiseshell turned around, smiling at the approaching tom. "Hey there!" he chirped giddily. "Cold today, isn't it?" He fluffed up his fur and let the smile grow into a grin, giving Sunshine a playful nudge with a forepaw. "C'mon, surely you're freezing! I know I am."

Then, as if only just noticing the other tom's hostility, his cheerful demeanor faded. He looked up, for he was just a head shorter than his companion, to see Sunsnow sneering down at him. His eyes took on a sort of reapproachful shimmer, and he seemed to shrink into his fur, if only just slightly. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

[sunflowers.]

Dustbreeze yawned as she slid out of the warrior's den. Her long tortoisehsell fur was already groomed down and smooth in the bright morning sun. She squinted her dull green eyes at the blinding white light of the clearing. The snow had really changed the landscape around here, and in her opinion, for the worse. She didn't like leafbare during the daytime. It was much easier to love during the calm of the moonlight. She tried to blink away the stinging in her eyes as they adjusted, noticing a couple of other warriors getting ready to head out for the day.

"Wait for me." She called, trotting over. "I'll join you two, I could use a race for some prey. The clan needs it afterall." She said, she could feel a gnawing starting in her stomach but would not eat until she had provided for the clan first. She shook her coat, fluffing against the crisp day. Thankfully it wasn't windy today, she despised the wind.

(Sosososososo sorry! Got caught up in a lot of stuff! >.<)
Adderfrost shook out his fur. "Well what are we waiting for?"

[HazyDream]

Pantherpaw's large ears perked up when he was approached by another apprentice. Ah yes, this one...name, what's his name... at that moment, Twilightpaw had spoken his name, and Pantherpaw's prayers had been answered. He didn't want to look like a jerk. The former kittypet puffed out his chest as he looked down his angular nose at his denmate.

"Yeah, I'm Pantherpaw," The grey tom nodded curtly. Of course he knows who I am. I'm kind of a big deal. He kept one ear trained on their leader as he spoke, not wanting to miss anything else. He wanted to discuss what Flintstar might say next, but he was still so new...He didn't even know about all the other clans yet. He didn't want to admit how little he really knew about clan life. "I suppose we'll find out soon enough," he said. He figured that would sound smart, while not betraying his ignorance.

Twilightpaw settled down, wrapping his long tail around his slender frame, his ears swirling towards Pantherpaw's direction as the tom spoke, his eyes intently fixated on Flintstar, anticipating more announcements. Most of the fellow apprentice's words were subconsciously drowned out, gazing at the ThunderClan leader with admiration lit up in his eyes; causing them to go round. Unbeknownst to Pantherpaw, the black lanky tom was very ambitious - imagining himself on top of the Highpeak threw him into a daze.

Shaking his head forcefully, the other tom's last comment seemed to echo throughout his ears. "Yeah, true."

[touka]

WellHelloThere
"hello whats your name" ashkit said

[RedHead]

Hearing a voice echo from outside his den, Flintstar glanced up, green eyes making out the shape of a cat just outside. He recognized her scent as Maplebriar, and he gave a nod. "Yes, come on in Maplebriar." He meowed, sitting up and curling his tail around his paws. He wasn't sure what the she-cat had to discuss with him, or if it was anything like that at all.

" ive been a warrior for a a while now and i'm starting to get older and soon battles are going to wear me down so i was wondering if i could have an apprentice, some young one how is ready to learn the warrior ways" she said now feeling older than she is.

Twilightpaw settled down, wrapping his long tail around his slender frame, his ears swirling towards Pantherpaw's direction as the tom spoke, his eyes intently fixated on Flintstar, anticipating more announcements.

Unbeknownst to Pantherpaw, the black lanky tom was very ambitious - imagining himself on top of the Highpeak threw him into a daze.

Shaking his head forcefully, the other tom's last comment seemed to echo throughout his ears. "Yeah, true."

Pantherpaw's eyes widened as he listened to Flintstar, and realized just how little he knew about clan life. Judging from the reactions around him, he extrapolated that ShadowClan was another group of cats, and one that they didn't typically get along with. RiverClan? WindClan? Those must be our enemies... He thought, trying to piece the puzzle together. He didn't want to ask any questions, because he didn't want to sound stupid. He had a reputation to uphold, after all.

Instead, he darned a serious expression, and nodded knowingly to Twilightpaw, as if he knew everything there was to know.
"This, uh, makes sense," He spoke curtly, trying to sound confident. Really, he kinda just sounded like a doofus. He was pulling words out of thin air to try an sound smart. "I think that...this will be good for ThunderClan."

[nykyrian]

" Ok let's go " she said as she bounded out of camp Pepperkins

"I'm Fennelkit. What's your name?" Fennelkit stretched and flicked her tail.

Sagepaw flicks his tail uncomfortably, feeling as though he was eavesdropping despite the leader announcing to everyone. The young tabby still felt an ecstatic buzz thrumming through his paws, and he wanted to start training as soon as possible.

'Still, I must be patient. I have to wait until the meeting is done and Buckbranch is ready..' Sage settles down, forcing himself to relax from the previous excitement. 'I must be good enough to become a warrior.. Maybe then.. Mountaingrowl will be proud of me and come back..'

Twilightpaw blinked at the tom. That was something.. very odd to say..? Atleast, that's how it seemed to the lanky black tom. His pale turquoise eyes darted up and down as he observed Pantherpaw. There seemed to be nothing odd about him. But that seemed like a very weird thing to say! Ahh.. maybe he was just overreacting. Whatever.

"Of course! This is great! If Flintstar says it, then it is good!" The black apprentice mewed before taking a glance at their mighty leader. "Having an alliance with another Clan is amazing! More cats to protect ThunderClan!" Her paws shuffled as he realized how he sounded. "I mean.. yeah. We can protect them. Too. Wee."

Sunsnow sighed and raked his gaze across the clearing once more. When he saw neither hide nor tail of the newly appointed deputy, he turned back to his 'companions' and said; "Nothing, I suppose. Where should we hunt?"

The orange-and-white cat had asked a question because he didn't want to seem too pushy. He really wanted to get to know his clanmates, not scare them off with his bossiness.

In truth, Sunsnow was lonely.

He was going to try and get some friends.

Sunsnow's fur bristled at the tom's insolence. "Did something happen? Did something happen? What do you think, traitor?"

His eyes were narrowed and his ears were flat against his head and every word had a hiss on it, clear signs of mistrust and anger.

"And I'm not here for your niceties. I'm here because I am loyal to Thunderclan, unlike some toms I know, and therefore I have a duty to protect it form the likes of you." At this, Sunsnow leaned in and sneered at... well, a cat with quite stunning eyes, actually.

The orange-and-white tom jerked backward at the thought. No. Oh, no, we are NOT doing this, brain! NO!

He quickly looked away from the cat he was guarding- yes, guarding, nothing more- and thought; Pull yourself together, you hoplesss tom! Are you really that desperate?

Then another part of him chimed in: Um, kind of yes.

Then why don't we do something about it?

But we have to guard the traitor!

Sunsnow groaned aloud.

The brothers, Stormpaw and Thornpaw were play fighting, although the older tom was being a bit rough "You can't play if you don't raise the stakes! If you lose I get your share of prey!" Stormpaw laughed, pouncing at his brother
"and if you lose?" replied Thornpaw, leaping to meet him in the air, causing both to fall to the ground with a thud
"Nothing!" the tabby grunted as he was pinned
"Thought so..." the younger brother grumbled as he backed up and began smoothing out his fur as he watched the cat below him. This would be a regular thing, perhaps they would even wake others during the night, or start during something important. Although they were born at almost the same time Stormpaw thought it was important that he was a few seconds older and stronger, built for fighting. But, Thornpaw was smarter and quicker, knowing most of his moves. But besides that, the brothers could make easy friends with anyone, well anyone that would be willing.

Buckbranch flinched, eyes wide. "I- I just thought-" Sunshine's next words cut him off, so he was left staring up at the larger tom. At first all he could do was stare, dumbfounded, as the cat who he'd considered his friend, his best friend, unloaded his anger.

Buckbranch backed away, fur bristling. The shock vanished from his eyes, replaced by hurt and anger. "I am your deputy," he hissed. Although he was trying to sound furious, his voice was laced with despair. "You will not speak to me in such a way. I am loyal to ThunderClan. I have an apprentice, whom I consider my son after his father abandoned him. I am your superior, and you will respect me!" As he had been talking his voice had been rising, filled with indignation and anguish. He paused to take a heaving breath, and his eyes darkened, their dark green depths sparkling with regret. He ducked his head, trying to settle his nerves. He'd never exploded like this at a friend.

"I'm... I'm sorry," he murmured. "I shouldn't have yelled like that. I know you're only worried about ThunderClan's wellbeing."

Ashenrain was laying down in her nest in the nursery with her two kits at her belly. She looked at Creamkit and Smokekit. The queen smiled and stood up. ”Come on Creamkit and Smokekit. It’s time for me to show you the camp.”, she whispered, giving them a lick on the head. The gray tabby she-cat let out a purr and gave them each one last lick.

”There’s so much to see and I now how much you wanted to get out of the den.”, Ashenrain meowed a little louder, but kept a soft voice as to try not to disturb the other kits and queens. It was late in the afternoon and they all had slept the day away.

The young tom's ears twitched as his mother spoke, blinking open doe brown from his light nap at her belly. Like his sister, his jaws stretched open in a wide yawn, showing off tiny white fangs before closing as Ashenrain licked the top of his head. "Shh," he chided quietly, batting at Smokekit's muzzle with a soft paw, "you'll wake everyone up." He couldn't help but share her excitement though, his creamy grey fur bristling in reserved anticipation as he followed after his sister on bouncy paws.

Ashenrain watched her kits get up with an excited twinkle in her eyes. "Before we go out. I must groom both of you.

"The territory." Adderfrost said, attempting being a smartass. He noticed Sunsnow looking around. "Haven't seen the 'deputy' all day." he yawned out.

Dustbreeze rolled her eyes at Adderfrost's comment. She looked over at the other warrior whose gaze swept across the clearing, wondering why he even bothered looking for where the deputy was. It was all the better for the deputy to stay out of the spotlight with all the tensions running in the clan since his appointment. She looked out into the trees beyond.

"Why dont we go along the Riverclan side of the territory. They have less in their clan, probably a better chance of catching something over there." She looked between the two other cats, waiting for approval rather than just beginning to head out herself. Too many cats in this clan gave orders, too few simply followed and tried to come to joint conclusions.

[RedHead]

With little accusation against this new alliance, Flintstar’s confidence bloomed. He nodded to Buckbranch’s acceptance of his role, before addressing the clan once more. “This meeting is now dismissed!” He announced, then bounded down from the highpeak, determined to go and speak to Foxbound.

[RedHead]

“Foxbound.” A voice announced, and the ginger she-cat turned to see Flintstar approaching her. She gave a disdainful huff, eyeing him as he drew closer.
“What do you want?” She snapped, narrowing her eyes. Flintstar simply ignored her hostility, looking unbothered by it, yet continued in a respectful tone.
“I didn’t want to announce this at te meeting, but I believed it would be best for Sagepaw to have a second mentor, one that could mentor him when Buckbranch is too busy to.”
Foxbound’s eyes widened for a moment, and then she growled. “And you thought id be the perfect backup mentor?” She growled at the black-furred tom, who in response let out a sigh. “Sure, if you want to consider yourself that. Then yes. Now I suggest finding Buckbranch and Sagepaw to notify them.” With that, the leader flicked his tail and walked away, leaving a fuming Foxbound behind him.
The ginger she-cat stood there, glaring at the den where the leader had gone off to, before her orange eyes blazed around the clearing, searching for that mangepelt and his sweet apprentice.

Crowtuft pads into the nursery, eyes looking around the nursery before landing on Ashenrain. His eyes light up with delight at the sight of the young kits. A purr rumbles in his chest, and he walks next to Ashenrain. "So, you are taking the kits out to see the camp?" He purrs louder, his tail swishing with delight. "I'm certain they will like it. I remember the first time I ever saw the camp."

Sagepaw pads across the clearing, ears perked and eyes searching for his mentor. His tail curls as he spots Buckbranch, but worry quickly consumes the young cat when he notices Buck's bushed fur and defensive demeanor. He hastens his pace to come up behind Buckbranch, lowering his head respectfully.

"Buckbranch? I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something, but..." Sage hesitates again, his tabby pelt flooding with an odd mix of concern and bashfulness. "Are you alright? You seem on edge.." The apprentice looks at Sunsnow through large eyes.

[dino.]

Heartstruck RedHead xoyami

Hearing his name, Buckbranch lifted his head. He saw Sagepaw, smiled, and turned back to Sunsnow, touching his nose to the other tom's. "I'm sorry," he murmured. "I'll catch you later, ok?"

He hurried away from the ginger cat, stopping as he neared Foxbound and Sagepaw. He nodded to his apprentice and offered Foxbound a small smile. Inside his heart was pounding. What would she think? Would she hate him even more? But most importantly, could he get her to feel the same way he felt about her?

[RedHead]

“Flintstar has informed me that i am to be the backup mentor of Sagepaw here.” Since she couldn’t exactly hide her expressions with Sagepaw so close, she gave a genuine smile, though there was a blazing warning in her orange eyes as she glanced up at Buckbranch. She’d seen his interaction with Sunsnow, and wondered for a moment if she shouldn’t have interrupted. Would've given me some more time away from him. Foxbound then tilted her head slightly, flicking her tail towards the camp entrance. “I believe the best place to start would be a quick tour of the territory, just in case you didn’t know that Buckbranch.” Her words were sweet but dripped with a subdued sarcasm, that Foxbound was sure Sagepaw wouldn’t pick up on. He was a younger cat, and she would certainly glorify the cutie with all the love she held, he deserved at least that much, having gone trough what he had.
And Buckbranch? He didn’t deserve any of that. He could have all of her sarcasm and anger. He should be lucky to even get that.

Sagepaw's light golden eyes widen slightly. 'A tour around the territory! Of course!' The young apprentice had never even set paw out of the camp before, and his chest tightens with apprehension. 'I hope I don't make a fool of myself and embarrass Buckbranch... Or..'
He looks at Foxbound, blinking with interest. 'Or Foxbound for that matter. I wonder why Flintstar gave me two mentors..' The tabby tom swallows hard, plumy tail drooping. 'He probably doesn't trust me because Mountaingrowl is my father..'

[dino.]

xoyami RedHead

"Oh... right." Of course that's what she wanted. And she probably wants to chew me out, too. For a split second his cheerful demeanor faltered. Sudden sorrow and anxiety washed over his features, relaying his worry about his new role and his despair that no cat seemed to trust him. But just like that, it was gone, a peppy smile once more plastered over his face.

"A tour of the territory sounds like a great idea," he consented, although the confidence in his voice sounded strained and forced. Then, blinking at Foxbound, he blurted, "A vixen beauty, running away with my heart. I think I'm in-" He stopped himself with a shake of his head, instead mumbling, "I mean, uh, yeah. A tour is a great idea."

[Sandshell]

(intruder alert!) Sandshell, a strong and brave RiverClan hid in the bushes in the corner of the clearing, not to bring harm but looking for a friend.

[RedHead]

The ginger she-cat sensed the tom's sudden unease and watched as his smile faltered, and for a moment she felt bad for being so harsh on him. He's got enough hate to deal with... She then pushed those thoughts out, mentally shaking her head. But he's also pretty much a traitor. His fault in the first place. Like oftentimes, Foxbound's intense loyalty to her clan and her empathetic nature to singular cats was gnawing at her, the two sides causing her an internal battle.
Noticing that Sagepaw seemed a little down, the ginger she-cat gave him a playful bump with her shoulder, realizing she might need to explain why he had two mentors. It wasn't normal, so Sagepaw was probably confused and felt singled out. "Don't worry, this is going to be fun! Flintstar assigned me to help Bucky here mentor you because he's the deputy, and doing a big job like that is hard, and requires a lot of extra responsibilities." She glanced up at Buckbranch to give him a scrutinizing stare, wondering if he even was doing any of these extra duties yet. Yes, Flintstar had assigned him battle training patrols, but seemed fine doing everything else on his own. Foxbound made a mental note of this, figuring something was up with both tomcats at the head of their clan.

When Buckbranch suddenly started to speak though, and no doubt about her, Foxbound lifted her head back to his level and blinked once or twice, orange eyes wide in surprise. Running away with his heart...? She bit her tongue to keep from laughing at him, she knew that would be terribly rude. She knew she was attractive and gorgeous, no one could tell Foxbound otherwise. But to have a tomcat verbally express his attraction towards her? Well that was new. Especially coming from a cat she so clearly disliked.
But, still, she found it kind of sweet, but annoying at the same time. He had a lot of self-reflection he needed to do before he even was able to be considered. So, with a flick of her tail, she bypassed that comment, instead focusing on Sagepaw. They were supposed to be training him. "Let's head out then, we've got a lot of ground to cover before it gets to cold for Sagepaw to be out in the territory." She smiled at Sagepaw and sent a sultry smile to Buckbranch, before pushing ahead of both toms and out of the camp.

xoyami Slushie

[RedHead]

Flintstar listened to the she-cat speak, before he flicked his ear and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind Maplebriar. Leaf-bare is coming and new apprentices are often in shortage during this time, but when the next litter reaches six moons, I will make sure to see if there is a kit that you could teach." He gave the she-cat a smile, glad that there were warriors in his clan who were truly interested in mentoring new apprentices. Thunderclan needed that right now.

Sagepaw feels a surge of relief at the explanation Foxbound gave him. 'That makes a lot of sense.. Buckbranch is the deputy after all, he needs help..' The young tabby whisks his tail, bouncing on his toes. His head felt much clearer now, and he felt elated at the prospect of starting out his new apprenticeship.

Sage pads after Foxbound, looking behind his shoulder at his other mentor. "Buckbranch? Are you coming?" His mew is quiet but urging, as the apprentice was obviously ready to go outside and explore his territory for the first time ever.

PATROLS

It was soon after dawn, the sun still barely rising over the treetops, trying to warm all of their freezing pelts. Flintstar himself wasn't too cold, in fact he was probably going to take both Pinepaw and Pantherpaw out on a tour through the territory today, go on a patrol himself.
But before that happened, he needed to get some other patrols going. And make sure his deputy was doing his job as well.


[OPTIONAL PROMPT: There's a couple of fresh rogue scents along the border, seems as if there were a few cats that passed through recently.]

"Sunsnow!" [ Heartstruck ] He called to the ginger tom, spotting him in the clearing. "I would like you to take Crowtuft [ xoyami ] with you to check the Shadowclan border. If your apprentice is laying around, please take him with you as well." Once he made sure the tom had heard him, Flintstar turned his gaze towards the black-and-white feline near the edge of the clearing.

[OPTIONAL PROMPT: You find the tracks of a badger leading from Windclan territory into Thunderclan's, and the scent is still relatively fresh.]

"Cherrybubble, it's still been quiet over there, but I want you to take a patrol to Thunderglade and remark out borders with Windclan." He looked around for cats to go with her, before he turned his gaze back to the molly. "Take Honeybrume [ Alaska ] and Leopardpaw [ hxneysuckle ] with you. I have yet to assign her a new mentor, but for now, taking her on a patrol would be good experience." The feline gave him a nod of affirmation, so Flintstar moved along to the next patrol.

[OPTIONAL PROMPT: There's a loner that's hiding out just inside Thunderclan's borders.]

"Flameseed [ ~WolfDen~ ], you and Skypelt [ GrassRipple ] will go check the Riverclan border. We had two trespassers last time, so be sure to be extra thorough. And if you can, see if you can do some hunting over there as well." With a nod to the tomcat, Flintstar turned his attention to Buckbranch.

"Make sure to organize some battle training, it would be nice if you included many of our apprentices within it. I would like for them to get some decent training in, just in case any fights break out soon." Nodding to his deputy, fully hoping the tomcat would do as asked, Flintstar made his way across the clearing.
[ Slushie ]

"Pantherpaw, Pinepaw, I am going to be taking you two out for some hunting training today, and we will be patrolling our border with the outskirts. It often doesn't get patrolled, and it's where the most prey can be found at this time." He gave a smile to the two younger cats, awaiting to see what their responses would be.

Ashenrain watched her kits get up with an excited twinkle in her eyes. "Before we go out. I must groom both of you. I don't want your clanmates thinking I'm not capable of taking care of you.", she meowed. The fluffy gray tabby molly pulled her kits towards her with her tail and gave their pelt thorough licks.
mochi
Smokekit struggled trying to get out of Ashenrain's grip. She sighed eventually sighed and accepted the grooming. She padded away when she was done. She shook her fur and playfully jumped at Creamkit. "Got you!" She mewed.
Crowtuft pads into the nursery, eyes looking around the nursery before landing on Ashenrain. His eyes light up with delight at the sight of the young kits. A purr rumbles in his chest, and he walks next to Ashenrain. "So, you are taking the kits out to see the camp?" He purrs louder, his tail swishing with delight. "I'm certain they will like it. I remember the first time I ever saw the camp."
sorry this took so long i had to pack up and leave the dorm uwu

Creamkit
The young tom accepted his grooming silently, the only sign of his impatience the flicking of the tip of his tail. He rolled his eyes as his sister struggled under their mother’s tongue, taking it on himself to be the more mature one of the two. Once Ashenrain was finished with him he got to his paws, only for his eyes to widen as he was knocked back off of them. A muffled complaint sounded from under Smokekit while he struggled to free himself, eventually dragging himself out from under her in time to see a black tom enter the nursery.

i wasn’t sure if the kits would recognize Crow or not so i cut off there~

[ RedHead Alaska ]

Leopardpaw had been dozing beside the apprentice's den when she was called for a patrol. It surprised her, given that she didn't have a mentor, but she enjoyed it nonetheless. It was always good to get out of the camp every once in a while. So, she stood and stretched before padding over to Flintstar, looking up at the tom with a thin smile. "As long as I get a new mentor that isn't as flea-brained as before," she mewed, snorting at her own joke. Leopardpaw's tail flicked and she glanced around before moving to stand beside Cherrybubble, watching and waiting for Honeybrume to arrive so they could head out.

[xoyami]

RedHead Heartstruck

Crowtuft pads out of the nursery, his ears perked when he heard his name being called. 'A patrol to the Shadowclan border, hm?' The black tom feels slightly disappointed that he wasn't ordered to patrol the Windclan border. 'I could've seen Twilightshine along the way..'

Shaking out his pelt, he dismisses the thought and runs up to Sunsnow. Crow flicks his tail against the ginger tom's flank, a purr resonating in his chest. "Ready to go?"

[Vessel]

xoyami Starfall Slushie

Sunsnow gave a nod of acknowledgment and looked around the clearing in search of his apprentice. "Mosspaw!" He called out. "We're on patrol today!"

His little interaction with Buckbranch had made him trust the tom even less because of his temper, and Sunsnow did not want to leave camp.

Oh, well, he thought.

It's not like I can neglect my duties as a warrior.

[Ever]

Pinepaw almost jumped when she heard that her and her brother were getting to go on a patrol today. She flashed Pantherpaw an eager grin and trotted over to the leader. She had heard many mixed opinions about him in the clan since her arrival, but most of the distrust came from his choice in deputy. She hadn't gotten a lot of time to form her own opnion about either, though he did welcome her and her brother in as shivering twoleg kits. She was thrilled to be able to get some time and experience from what should be the best. Her tail stood high behind her as she stood before the leader and nodded her head at him.

"I can't wait!" She meowed, she was so lucky to be going on back to back patrols. This was everything she'd ever imagined and more from running into the woods to live the wild live. She looked over to her brother. She gave him a big warm smile, this was going to be a good day.

Pantherpaw scrambled to his paws when he heard the leader call his name. Finally, he was going to show him the territory! It's about time, the pretty young tom thought. His mentor hadn't taken him out before today. I guess he is the leader, though. He's probably just been busy. He huffed. Better late than never.

"Hey, Pinepaw!" He grinned to his sister as he padded up to her. Not only did he get to go out and see the territory, but alongside his sister, as well! Today couldn't possibly get any better.

The molly sleuthed into the camp, a single mouse hanging by its tail in her maw. It was a skinny, scrawny thing. Prey was becoming scarce this time of year- and she thought herself lucky to of caught even a single piece prey. The scent of her fellow clanmates engulfed the arrogant felines senses, as Valeriansmoke made her way to the fresh kill pile. It was a pitiful thing. A few pieces of scraps that, just a few moons ago, would’ve been plump and fat. Once she set the single piece of prey down with the rest of its deceased kin, she made her way to a comfortable spot and onto a collection of moss. Now that she was laying down, she could see all the cats in the camp. She was never one for crowds, it meant she would be hidden in the mix, when she should obviously be the center of attention, with her beautiful looks and all.

Valeriansmoke looked down in disgust as she realized there was blood on her smokey black paws. How... utterly horrid! The feline had just walked around with such a mess on herself and she didn’t notice. A grimace was starting to form on the mollies face before she started to lick them clean. She hated the taste of blood, the metallic that was so strong it seemed like you could drown in it. Her deep, multi-colored orbs closed in complete disgust as she continued to lap at the sticky, rust-colored substance coating her fur. ’Better get this over with’ the molly thought as she continued to to try purge her coat of the foul blood.

Blossomclaw woke up from her wonderful dream with a yawn. With a quick glance around, she quickly realized it wasn't a dream. She did have a mate now, and he just so happened to be sleep with his paws wrapped around her. Blushing in the darkness, she silently slipped out of his paws, careful not to wake Hawkclaw. Padding out the den, she gave her paws a lick for a moment before getting something to eat for them both. Entering back in with two scrawny mice, she sat by her love and gave him a little nudge in the chest to wake up, dropping the mice by his head.

he woke up confused and tired to see blossomclaw nudging him to eat"thanks" he said after eating his mouse he licked her ear and nose,"you wanna go on a hunt with me" he asked sweetly

he awoke to her nudging him to wake and so he did but super quick and pinning her to the floor putting his nose to hers making her turn into a blushing mess, after he ate he stood up"would you like to go on a hunt with me" he asked blossomclaw still sitting blushing from the moment

[Pepperkins]

[caswshay617]

Blushing wildly, Blossomclaw laughed and pushed him off. "Oh off of me you big lump!" she giggled, getting up and shaking the dust out her fur."Sure, but help me clean out my fur first! I can never reach my back," she meowed, struggling to turn and reach right by her waist. With a sigh she just went back to working on her legs. He dur was constantly getting caked in dirt, being so thick.

Pepperkins
he moved his tail along her back swiping away the dust laughing as she was ticklish, "where you wanna hunt" he asked

[dino.]

Buckbranch perched on a small rock in the middle of the clearing, casting his calm green gaze around the visible cats. It was high time he assigned cats battle training partners; he'd delayed for too long, and although he still dreaded the notion, it needed to be done.

He opened his jaws wide and yowled, "All cats gather around! Battle training is beginning now! I'm assigning patrols, so listen up! You'll either be in pairs or in groups of three. I've tried to group mentors with apprentices. If you have any questions, or wish to change who you're paired with, talk to me. If everything sounds good, meet up with your respective group members in the Training Cave. We have to be prepared for any hostile signs from WindClan or RiverClan." Quickly wracking his brain for the cats he'd chosen, he began to recite the list he'd memorized:


"Sunsnow ( Heartstruck) and Mosspaw ( Starfall). Icedust ( Fuzzy) and Stormpaw ( SoyBoi). Dustbreeze ( Ever) and Leopardpaw ( hxneysuckle). Songthorn ( hxneysuckle) and Moonpaw ( RedHead). Maplebriar ( caswshay617), Smolderingbreeze ( The Cannibal), and Cranerose ( ponyapan). Honeybrume ( Alaska) and Geckopaw ( Starfall). Blossomclaw ( Pepperkins), Adderfrost ( Nebby). Crowtuft ( xoyami) and Flameseed ( ~WolfDen~). Honeyflower ( Fuzzy), Whisperingfeather ( sunflowerseed), and Pinepaw ( Ever)."


I tired to keep it limited to one character per user, but I think some of you guys managed to slip through. If there's any issues, please notify me via PM, along with your partner(s), and I'll try to get it sorted out! If you see this post and you and your character were not mentioned and you'd like me to assign you someone, let me know and I'll pair you up with someone. Right now there's no set date to have these over, but try and get then done as soon as possible <3

[touka]

The Cannibal
"you ready smolderingbreeze" maplebriar asked him

[The Cannibal]

caswshay617 ponyapan
Smolderingbreeze perked his ears up in curiosity at Buckbranch's call and would casually stand, stretch and then meander over to where the deputy stood before plopping his rump back down. Briefly he glanced to the other cats, occasionally flashing a grin or giving someone a nod before ultimately focusing in on what the deputy had to say.
"Battle training? Brings me back to those good apprentice days," he meowed with a half smile, picking up the names of the two cats he was paired with. Maplebriar and Cranerose. They held a familiarity to them, couldn't put a face to a name, it had been too long since he had actively spoken to them, but they did ring a bell. Well, every cats name in the clan except for maybe the new introductions rang a bell- I digress.
Standing up, the rusty orange tabby stretched lightly again, not that he really needed to. Smolderingbreeze was a relaxed tom, there was hardly ever tension in his muscles, though it did feel good to stretch from time to time. Waiting for the other two to meet him, he would dip his head to them before meowing, "I guess we should be getting on our way to that Training Cave eh?" His somewhat fluffy tail waved slowly back and forth as he halfheartedly began to move towards the camp entrance, the very presence of the tom expressing relaxation and calm despite the fact they were about to go to battle practice.

Flameseed heard his named called and thought "Battle Training? Haven't done that in a long time." He walked over to the two cats he was with. Crowtuft and and Honeyflower. He had never met the two, and was looking forward to meeting them. "Hello Crowtuft, Hi Adderfrost." He greeted. "How are you two?" He was smiling the entire time, he wanted to make a good first impression. Despite his tiredness, he wanted this to be a good day.

With the call from Buckbranch Icedust approached redundantly. Fighting training? She didn't have an apprentice and was already a warrior, why would she need that? Hearing her name be pared with some apprentice she didn't know Ice glanced around. Who even was this Stormpaw? Well as long as they weren't crazy she didn't mind. It was the deputy she was unsure about.
Pushing her thoughts away the white molly looked for a young cat in the crowd of cats. Strompaw… they probably had a grey pelt or something like that. She wasn't sure but this could be fun. Mismatch eyes trailing over the cats she felt stumped. "Hay Stormpaw, we'll leave once you're ready." The warrior meowed into the cats expecting the apprentice to hear her. It's not like they will know I didn't see them.

sunflowerseed Ever

Honeyflower was actually pleased by the idea of battle training. It reminded her of when she had an apprentice. And she had gotten assigned to train with an apprentice and her mentor, or who she believed to be her mentor. Pinepaw was that former kittypet right? If memory served her right she was. Though she didn't know Whisperingfeather. It was a long name.
Stretching the large ginger and cream molly scanned the crowd. She wouldn't take charge of this. Yet. It really depended on how the cats acted. She was probably the oldest anyway. I'll wait or them. Stepping back the long haired molly sat awaiting the res of her group.

[Pepperkins]

[caswshay617]

With a shiver and a laugh, she batted at his claw to get him to put it down. Obviously a bad idea to tell him do that. "Jerk! You know i'm ticklish!" she fussed, "We can go hunting by the Windclan border? Maybe some rabbits wandered over for the winter!"

[SoyBoi]

Fuzzy

Stormpaw's ear flicked as if he didn't notice someone was talking to him but then he glanced toward his brother, Thornpaw, and grinned I'll be stronger than him in no time! he then turned to who he was assigned to and nodded. But he wasn't grey pelted, he got his name from the storms of chaos he could cause. "Ready when you are."

Blossomclaw happened to be padding out the Warrior's Den as she heard her name called for Battle Training. 'Adderfrost, got it," she thought to herself, glancing around to see where the tom was. Same cat from her last patrol, how convenient. Spotting him not to far off, she walked up to him with a smile. "Ready to go?" she mewed sweetly.

[Ever]

Pinepaw perked up at the deputy's call to the clan. She didn't have an opinion formed on the deputy, though she had heard the rumours of his betrayal. She respected him for now, unless he proved otherwise. Battle training huh... something must be going on between the clans. She wished that she was more in the know. She trotted over to her mentor and the other warrior, wondering where they would be going and what she would be learning today.

Fuzzy sunflowerseed

Also Fuzzy it might just be us, sunflower hasn't replied for some time.

Dustbreeze listened to the deputy's words, hearing about the training. This was exciting! She was a fresh young warrior and hadn't had an apprentice yet so this would be her first experience fraining one. She grinned and her green eyes searched for Leopardpaw, eager to get going and work on some training. She wondered what Leopardpaw would want to learn... maybe some new attacks, or maybe they needed to learn patience and dodging. She smiled softly as she waited for them to join her.

Ashenrain felt Creamkit duck away from her after she was finished grooming them both. The long haired gray tabby molly watched as Crowtuft walked into the nursery. "Yes I was.", she meowed with a friendly smile. The molly finished up with her daughter. "I remember when I saw the camp for the first time. There was so much I didn't understand, but I'm pretty sure you two will love it outside of the nursery.", Ashenrain meowed.

Crowtuft purrs, his velvety voice rumbling in his chest. "I'm certain they will absolutely love it out here." He ducks his head, mewing gently to Creamkit and Smokekit. "I promise you will find some cats who love you almost as much as I do." His eyes glow with affection for the tiny kits, and he rises back to his paws. "I'll be out near the fresh-kill. Come to me if you need anything." With a flourish of his tail, the black tom exits the nursery.

Leopardpaw stood and stretched from her place in the clearing, yawning quietly. She approached Dustbreeze, tail waving excitedly despite not physically looking like it. "I'm ready," the bengal mewed, looking up at the warrior with a brief smile. Leopardpaw shook out her fur, dislodging some debris that had decided to cling to her pelt during her nap. She stood beside the other she-cat and prepared herself for battle training, ready to follow the warrior into the territory.

Crowtuft slips out of the nursery, his tufted ears perking at the sound of his name being called. 'Battle training? Sounds good to me.'

Honeybrume's tail raised when Buckbrach called her for battle training. Yes! Finally, some bonding time with my new apprentice! She'd been spending an awful lot of time with that freak, Goldenshade, but luckily she earned some time away from him with regular warrior duties. Hopefully, she'll be able to keep herself busy enough...

Shaking the thoughts off, the yellow she-cat padded up to Geckopaw and purred, "You ready?"

[Marblemoon]

A tortoiseshell she-cat tentatively pads around the Thunder Clan territory, sniffing out new scents. The new scent is so unfamiliar to her, but it is the scent of cats. She pads onward, hoping against hope that she will find her way home.

Sunsnow gave a nod of acknowledgment and looked around the clearing in search of his apprentice. "Mosspaw!" He called out. "We're on patrol today!"

His little interaction with Buckbranch had made him trust the tom even less because of his temper, and Sunsnow did not want to leave camp.

Oh, well, he thought.

It's not like I can neglect my duties as a warrior.

Mosspaw lifted his head from where he was standing, big eyes looking up at his mentor as he heard his name get called. It took him a few moments to register that he was going out into the territory!! A bright smile blossomed on his maw as he quickly made his way to his mentor, bumping into his side slightly with his head before standing right next to him.

“What are we doing?” He whispered up to Sunsnow, floppy ears perked up as much as they could be, curiosity ebbing from the Tom.



Alaska
The Bengal mix let out something that was a mix between a yip and a squeal, an excited distorted sound coming from his throat. He practically threw himself at the molly, squishing his face into her chest fur, looking up at the warrior in excitement. “I was born ready! Where are we going? Are we gonna go to that new place?” Geckopaw quipped, his face morphing from giddy to serious in a few seconds flat. On a scale of 1 to 10 he would clean the apprentice den to look at the new place. For a week!

The young tom flicked soft brown eyes towards his mother after shaking the bits of moss out of his pelt from the tussle with his sister. Hearing her words made excitement once more bubble through his pelt. He turned his shiny gaze towards Crowtuft, heart pounding a little faster in his chest as he imagined how the world looked outside the nursery. He'd only caught a few glimpses from the opening, but he couldn't wait to actually get out there and explore. His paws bounced under him as he watched Crowtuft turn and leave the nursery, sharing his sister's impatience but keeping a more mature air about him as he followed his sister to the entrance before looking hopefully back at his mother.

Laughing and trotting next to Hawkclaw, Blossomclaw pafded into camp in a jolly little mood. Dropping her prey into thr fresh kill pile, she laid down tiredly next to her mate, giving him a lick on the nose. She didn't really say anything, just took the time to enjoy the silence, somewhat, and his presence.

Open!

Ashstorm listened to the call for battle training. He wished at times that he had an apprentice himself, but he trusted Flintstar to know who should guide which apprentice. Being a mentor was a heavy job and not every cat was cut out for it. With a flick of his ear, he resumed grooming his thick, heavy coat. If he wasn't called for any sort of duty soon, he might take it upon himself to go hunting. The fresh kill pile was looking scant. Sighing softly, he glanced up at the sky. It was getting colder and prey was becoming harder and harder to find. Why focus on battle training when they needed to eat?

Buckbranch would surely know better than he did, though. Flintstar trusted him, and so Ashstorm would, too. For now, anyway. The idea of confronting either the leader or deputy with concerns made him shiver and he quickly resumed grooming. Starclan knew that he was loathe to approach either of them.

Cherrybubble was wandering the camp, freshly back from a border patrol but still intent on doing something. She was glad the leader was making more efforts for patrols, that definitely helped her view towards him be less negative. As she was passing the fresh-kill pile, Cherrybubble noticed that they were running quite low on prey. She knew Flintstar was out hunting with those two apprentices, as well as another patrol, but more prey couldn't hurt right? Casting a quick glance around the clearing the molly spotted Ashstorm, another warrior but not someone she knew well. It didn't look like he was doing anything, so she approached him confidently. "Hope you're not planning on sitting here all day. If you were, you're welcome to come on an extra hunting patrol with me. We need all the prey we can get." She meowed to him, her tone demanding but with a playful lilt to it.

"Whew can't believe it came on that fast!" Jaggedhawk laughed once the two were in the warrior's den, flicking his ears to rid them of the wetness that had once been snow. He cast a glance outside the den, watching the trees sway in the harsh wind that had picked up, blowing the snow covering the ground up into the air. "Guess we're not going anywhere else today until that wind calms down." He murmured, tail flicking slightly as his bright green eyes watched the snow being scattered. He then turned to look at Icedust. "Guess you're stuck in here with me now." He purred, giving a mockingly flirty wink. There were quite a few other cats in the den as well, but Jaggedhawk had stopped near the front of the den, and most of the other cats were cuddled in the back, trying to keep warm. "So, as we were trying to talk about earlier.." He licked a paw and drew it over his soaked ears, "What's been happening with you lately? How've you been?"

He had just finished dragging his paw over his ear when Cherrybubble approached him. Ashstorm blinked at the she-cat, but nodded and stood, stretching his back legs with a little grunt. It was as though the other warrior had read his mind. Then again, everyone could see the fresh kill pile was suffering. Shaking out his fur, he turned to the smaller cat.

"I agree," he answered, voice quiet. "Where were you intending on hunting? Following directly behind the patrol won't put much prey in our path."

She knew that, he was pretty sure. He didn't mind being "bossed around" by Cherrybubble; he admired her tenacity in approaching him, honestly. Two hunters were better than one, after all.

[RedHead]

The feline smiled when Ashstorm agreed to her proposal, glad that she would be able to help feed the clan, double now that there was another cat coming along. "Well, I was thinking going and doing some hunting near the edge of the forest next to the twolegplace would be good, most kittypets stay inside their houses during this time of the season so there will be more prey out and about scavenging." Cherrybubble suggested, flicking her tail in the basic direction towards the twolegplace from the camp. When it came to duties, especially hunting, Cherrybubble was all for being precise and smart about it. A lot of her other decisions? Not so much. "We should try to make it quick too, this thin pelt of mine doesn't do too well with the cold, and it will be getting dark soon." Once she'd relayed this to the tomcat she flipped around and started heading for the camp exit, assured that Ashstorm was right behind her.

Sunsnow sighed, his olive green eyes narrow.

The tom was finding it rather difficult to keep his mind off of Buckbranch.

As much as he resented Buttercup, Sunsnow just couldn't help but blush a little when he thought of him. He's supposed to be your enemy! Pull yourself together, damnit!

He sighed once again. It's fine. I just- I just need something else to focus on. Maybe even someone. But the only other attractive tom in here is that Starclan-forsaken leader! Oorg, why do I like all the wrong cats?

Sunsnow shook his head violentlyand furrowed his brow.

Think, Sunsnow, think. Surely there's someone in the camp you haven't met yet!

Laughing and trotting next to Hawkclaw, Blossomclaw pafded into camp in a jolly little mood. Dropping her prey into thr fresh kill pile, she laid down tiredly next to her mate, giving him a lick on the nose. She didn't really say anything, just took the time to enjoy the silence, somewhat, and his presence.

Ashstorm trotted after Cherrybubble. The heavy fur around his neck swayed like a mane as he caught up with her, walking half a step behind her. She seemed more than comfortable to lead them to a spot, so he had no problem following, at least for now. He glanced up at the darkening sky. Perhaps they should wait until tomorrow, but he shook the thought away. Different animals came out at sunset and night; this could be a good opportunity to hunt some animals that prefer the darkness. Were the other clans beginning to struggle like they were?

"Would you be willing to work together to take down larger prey, should we find some?" he asked. He didn't have a good idea of what they might find that could be bigger, but taking down a rabbit or two would be perfect. Just the thought of the fluffy panicky slabs of meat was enough to make him drool.

[RedHead]

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the highpeak for a clan meeting!!"
Flintstar leaped up onto the highpeak as he was saying this, curling his tail around his paws neatly, awaiting his clan to gather. There were a few ceremonies to be done, as well as apprentices that needed to be assigned new mentors. Which he hoped would continue to train them, better than their old ones had done. The tom glanced upward for a moment as he tried to remember if there was anything else he would need to announce to the clan. No... not really anything besides ceremonies.

[Apprentice ceremonies: Yelloweye Sharp moon xoyami caswshay617 ]

(If you want your ceremony done your cat has to come attend the meeting!!)

[lio]

Leopardpaw yawned as she padded up to the Highpeak, her tail laying low to the ground. What is it now? she thought, looking up at Flintstar with a frown. Her ears perked and she sat within the crowd, looking around at other cats that had already gathered and silently nodding a greeting to those close to her.

[SoyBoi]

Thornpaw's ear flicked as he joined the cats under the highpeak and watched as his brother, Stormpaw pushed his way to the front, wanting a clear view of his leader. Both were very eager to know what was happening.

[Fuzzy]

With her name being called Icedust joined the cats below. She was kind of curious to who would be getting ceremonies. Obviously not her because she was already a warrior but there were plenty of young cats who could be becoming warriors or apprentices. Though she bet there were also a lot of senior warriors that could fill the elders den.
Sweeping her snow white tail to wrap her paws Icedust's mismatched eyes rested on the large leader. What would be instore today?

[nykyrian]

Skypelt slowly padded out from the warriors den settling down with all the other cats

[Fuzzy]

Pinepaw perked up at the deputy's call to the clan. She didn't have an opinion formed on the deputy, though she had heard the rumours of his betrayal. She respected him for now, unless he proved otherwise. Battle training huh... something must be going on between the clans. She wished that she was more in the know. She trotted over to her mentor and the other warrior, wondering where they would be going and what she would be learning today.

Also Fuzzy it might just be us, sunflower hasn't replied for some time.
[Alright! sense Sunflower hasn't responded I'll just go with it being the two of us. And you can move it next pot if you'd like~]

Seeing as Pinepaw's mentor still hadn't shown up Honeyflower took matters into her own paws. It was quiet irresponsible to not show up when called to train you're own apprentice. "Well, it looks like its just going to be the two of us Pinepaw." She meowed to the apprentice. With that she waved her tail for the young molly to follow her. "I'm Honeyflower by the way, its nice to meet you." The large warrior smiled back to the molly. She missed training an apprentice so this would be fun.

Fuzzy

Stormpaw's ear flicked as if he didn't notice someone was talking to him but then he glanced toward his brother, Thornpaw, and grinned I'll be stronger than him in no time! he then turned to who he was assigned to and nodded. But he wasn't grey pelted, he got his name from the storms of chaos he could cause. "Ready when you are."

Well the cat she assumed to be Stormpaw came up Icedust was surprised he wasn't grey pelted. Guess he had another reason to be named storm. "Good. We'll leave at once." The molly nodded. Huh training another cat? This would be odd. Her past mentors hadn't been that good. Disappearing on the job. Though a warrior had stepped up and temporarily trained her Otherwise Icedust would have been an apprentice forever. Despite her thoughts The white warrior was confident in this and lead Stormpaw out of camp with a flick of her tail.

"Whew can't believe it came on that fast!" Jaggedhawk laughed once the two were in the warrior's den, flicking his ears to rid them of the wetness that had once been snow. He cast a glance outside the den, watching the trees sway in the harsh wind that had picked up, blowing the snow covering the ground up into the air. "Guess we're not going anywhere else today until that wind calms down." He murmured, tail flicking slightly as his bright green eyes watched the snow being scattered. He then turned to look at Icedust. "Guess you're stuck in here with me now." He purred, giving a mockingly flirty wink. There were quite a few other cats in the den as well, but Jaggedhawk had stopped near the front of the den, and most of the other cats were cuddled in the back, trying to keep warm. "So, as we were trying to talk about earlier.." He licked a paw and drew it over his soaked ears, "What's been happening with you lately? How've you been?"

Of course it had to start storming. Icedust had wanted to tease and play around with Jaggedhawk. He was fun to tease because he responded back with even better ones. "Yeah, it was like a flash storm." She agreed shaking leftover snow and droplets of water from her fine fur. Honestly the warrior was glade that he wasn't going to just go sleep in the den sense it had gotten cold or decided not to stick with the normal playful get up he gave her. "We may be stuck in here till dawn the rate its going. But that wouldn't be so bad." Icedust mewed a hint of her playfulness creeping into her voice. There was a smile on her face as she sat beside him though. Was it sad that he was her only friend and they barely talked?
At his mock flirtatious wink she laughed. "Oh I might just die. Stuck in this den with a hunk like you?" She purred giving him a sideways look. With his next question Icedust gave herself a moment to think, cleaning her chest fur in the prosses. That was were they left off huh? Well she guessed getting a little serious wouldn't hurt the playful atmosphere she'd grown confrontable in. "Oh you know. The normal stuff nothing exciting. Just been on some patrols and stuff. Though I did get to train someone's apprentice. That was pretty fun." She admitted. Icedust was okay. A bit lonely if she thought of it but that was only because she'd grown apart from her friends. Or they passed on like Flutterpaw had moons ago. That was her own fault though.
"Now how about you? You've dodged the question every time I ask you. Its like you don't want to tell me." Icedust asked looking up at him with a mock pout before laughing at herself. No, no she needed to be serious. "But serious Jagged how have you been?" She asked this time not as playful and more genuine.

Cranerose puffed up her chest in indignation. "Yeah, sure," she sarcastically agreed, but still smiled at Sharpclaw and his shenanigans. After each catch they'd congratulate each other, and Cranerose relaxed in the familiar teasing.

Soon (all too soon, if you'd ask Cranerose) they were back in the camp. She was still purring at Sharpclaw as she dropped of her prey at the fresh kill pile. Her eyes crinkled in a smile as she looked at him again, as she always did. She could still barely believe all that had happened just beacuse of a little unplanned walk.

Cranerose gathered her courage, and walked up to him to nuzzle him- she didn't care if anyone else saw. "Are you up for doing something later, again?" she asked affectionately. The less she had to wait until she saw Sharpclaw again, the better. If too much time passed, she might think it was all just a dream. Honestly, leaving him at all pained her, but she didn't want to be a burden on Sharpclaw and his duties.

Jaggedhawk was busying himself with not being busy. Not exactly a good pastime, but the tomcat didn't want to go out and do any work, if he was being honest with himself. So he was hiding out in the clearing, trying to make it look like he was actually doing something. He passed by a few other cats in the clearing, acting like he was focused on getting somewhere, and doing something. But after a moment, Jaggedhawk reached the spot he'd been focused on in the clearing, staring blankly down at the ground. So much for doing nothing. Now he was bored. What was with that? Lime green eyes shot up and cast a glance around the clearing. Talking to someone would be considered a worthwhile pastime, right? "Hey! Sunsnow!" The silver tabby called to the other warrior, waving him over with his striped tail.

Dustbreeze shook her fluffy tortoiseshell fur as she trotted into the clearing before the highpeak. It had been about a moon since she was named a warrior and every ceremony made her feel a flutter of nervous excitement in her chest. Would this be the ceremony when she would be getting her first apprentice? Her green eyes scanned the other cats seeing which kitsch had come to be named today.

Toadkit squealed. “MY TAIL!” waking everybody up. Embarrassed, she scampered out of the nursery. Not before giving Sparrowkit a harsh look.

Amberpaw couldn't help but think about being an apprentice now and could hardly sleep. Seeing as there was nothing to do currently and it was very dark outside he finally gave in and let sleep come to him.

Ashenrain padded out of the nursery, stopping right outside to wait for her kits to join her. She was proud of her kits and couldn't wait to show them every single den in the camp. "Okay this is the nursery entrance as you should know. I want to make sure you know where it is when there is danger.", she started. Ashenrain wanted to start small and work their way up to the other dens.

Juniperkit sits down on his rump with a huff, looking rather ruffled. "No intruder? Aww, that's no fun... I wanted to fight someone!" He extends his tiny claws, pouncing at a nearby tuft of floating fur.

Stormpaw sat in the camp, starring at all the warriors in the clan. His eyes were slits and his lip was curled back in a growl. He struck the ground with the claws on his right front paw. He hated it in the camp and his mentor hadn't taught him a thing. They went around the territory and that was it. Stormpaw wanted to do something more. He stood up, his eyes were filled with the usual anger.

Smokekit walked outside, her eyes gleaming. "Wow... It's so big!" She looked around, surprised how many cats there were. She looked back at the den when her mother started talking. She nodded and turned back to the clearing. She waited until her mother allowed them to go farther.

[RedHead]

"There are a few ceremonies today for new apprentices that I must conduct. Raccoonkit, Amberkit, step forward please." Once the two young kits had approached the highpeak, Flintstar began the ceremonies.
"Raccoonkit has reached the age of six moons, and it is time for her to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Raccoonpaw. Your mentor will be Maplebriar. I hope she will pass down all she knows on to you." He gave a nod to Maplebriar, before turning to Amberkit. "Amberkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Amberpaw. Your mentor will be Crowtuft. I expect Crowtuft to pass down all he knows on to you." He gave a nod once more to the warrior, signalling for both of the new apprentices to touch noses with their mentors. He gave a moment for the clan to chant the new apprentice's names.
[ Sharp moon caswshay617 xoyami Yelloweye ]

Then, he was ready to continue. "Thornpaw, Stormpaw, Leopardpaw, and Rosepaw, please step forward." A quick glance around assured the tom that the new mentors he had decided for these cats were all present, so he waited the moment for the four cats to step forward.

Leopardpaw blinked as her name was called, her tail twitching in surprise. She stepped forward hesitantly and looked up at Flintstar with a confused gaze, her ears perked and ready for whatever he was going to say.

Linnetpaw and also Rockclaw applaud her, and the others as Raccoonpaw showed no sign of excitement really even if it was her special day along with others, Linnetpaw on the other hand maybe envied on the others that were becoming warriors, feeling like his mentor was being not a good mentor.

Toadkit was so ashamed to have woken everyone in the nursery like that. As she stalked away toward the barren clearing she spotted something, something with a glint sparkling in the corner of her eye. Without checking to see if anyone was watching, she sprinted off on another late night adventure.

"Stormpaw, your new mentor will be Icedust. I trust she will pass down all that she had learned to you, and serve you well as a mentor."

"Thornpaw, your new mentor will be Jaggedhawk. I trust appointing him as a mentor to you will help you both chill out a little bit."

The Bengal looked around, spotting Dustbreeze in the crowd. She walked over to the warrior and smiled, leaning up and preparing to touch noses with her. Leopardpaw was glad that she had received Dustbreeze as her mentor, and knew that the she-cat would teach her well.

[RedHead]

His eyes widened slightly in astonishment when she called him a "hunk" but a smirk quickly found its way to his maw. "Is that so? Well, guess I'll just have to tone down my extreme handsomeness level a little bit so you remain alive." He then proceeded to make a dramatic show of waving his tail around in the air before he rolled over on his back, looking at the she-cat upside-down with a lopsided grin on his face. "That any better? You think you can live now?" He asked playfully, tail still flicking back and forth in his amusement. As she began to speak about her going on lately, Jaggedhawk contentedly stayed in his position, a light purr coming from his throat as he listened to Icedust ramble on. He was glad nothing bad had happened to her, and everything was simply mundane. He'd have to do something to change that. Mundane was the worst.
When she pinned the question back on him once again though, that is when his purr caught in his throat. He gave a bitter laugh as he sat up, avoiding the white-furred molly's gaze. "You caught me there." He meowed, before letting out a sigh. "I guess I just haven't felt like myself lately, with Passionstar's death, Flintstar's leadership, and... this new alliance, everything seems to be changing all too fast." He then gave Icedust a small, real smile, lime-green eyes holding a little sadness. "I think I just have trouble adjusting."

A flutter of excitement and pride coursed through the long furred cat as she heard the name of her apprentice. She had already gotten to work with Leopardpaw before. The cat was a wonderful young apprentice, the perfect fit for her. She trotted over to touch noses with the apprentice.

"I'm glad you will be my apprentice! I'm looking forward to the many moons we have together." She said softly, smiling. "I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning then?"

It've been another day. Snow almost everywhere. Although the sun's rays warmed the pelt of Sore, he shivers from bitter cold. Will it take moons to find the ThunderClan camp or will he have to go into another border to find a clan camp to toy with.
He stared at the starry night -sadly didn't find camp when the sun is high- the stars of the warrior ancestors. StarClan, the Turkish Angora reminded himself. He met and guided by a ThunderClan warrior who was in StarClan, the clan full of undead, powerless, cats! They shone dully, maybe he didn't believe in them enough. If he believe StarClan, they will shine brightly until their welcoming glazes burnt his black pelt. He opened his maw, unfamiliar scents wafting around him. He stumbled around, to find some entrance to this hidden camp.
He plodded his sore paw into plants and brambles. Once again he scent the air.. cats?
A ton of cat scents...fresh...going....This way! He sprang into action, sprinting forwards until he ran into an entrance made of brambles! It stings, but not sting enough to make Sore care.
He pushed forwards until he fell out of the entrance... of the ThunderClan camp! He scented and looked around, seeing dens made for each rank. Warrior's den, considering to see a grown cat come out it; an Apprentice den, noting a smaller warrior following said grown-cat. A Nursery, smelling milk and hearing kittens mewling -how annoying-; the Medicine den, scents of herbs and plants and berries too.
He watched each cat wanders around, then stepped up to the center and yowling, "I will like to see and talk to Flintstar!" [ RedHead]

(Open to cats who want to notice that Sore is there.)

Dustbreeze yawned as she shuffled from the warrior's den. She wanted to get out for a quick hunt today, maybe do something with another warrior and not just her apprentice. She adored her apprentice, but it was a lot of work. It was also becomming a little bittersweet. Although she was still very young, and she knew she had many moons ahead of her, she really was looking forward to having kits of her own. The more she trained and tried to be a warrior, the less she really wanted the responsabilities of a warrior. It was a lot, especially with the discomfort and tensions between the clans as of late. She blinked against the harsh sunlight that flooded the white clearing. The snow was a nice change, and luckily the tortoiseshell cat didn't have too much trouble hunting in any season. She always blended in well, whether it was mud, brambles or the underbrush. Her eyes scanned the clearing, not much going on still. It was just past sunrise. She set to grooming her fur, it always took a lot of effort to keep it from matting anyways. It would be worthwhile to get a headstart while she waited for another cat to wake up. Then she could ask them to go hunting and it wouldn't be such a lonely experience.

RedHead

[RedHead]

Flintstar's head was pounding, he hadn't gotten much sleep at all. He was deep-seated in worry for some reason that he couldn't put his paw on. Maybe it was this new alliance with Shadowclan? Or the worry that something bad was going to happen to his clan again. He'd started to have terrible dreams about wars and blood and... badgers. That wasn't okay. Flintstar was not afraid of badgers. He let out a large yawn as he exited his den, deciding there was nothing more he could do about trying to get sleep. Maybe he'd go by Tallmarsh's den later today and see if the medicine cat had been having any dreams similar to his. Or if she was worried about anything either. The clearing was mostly empty, as expected, since there had been no dawn patrols sent out that morning. He contemplated waking up Pantherpaw and bringing his apprentice out on an early morning hunt, but he knew the young cat needed some rest.
Flintstar started to stretch, his eyes suddenly spotting Dustbreeze over by the warrior's den. She was grooming her fur, and the leader finished stretching before walking over to the she-cat, a tired smile on his face. He needed to get out and run his mind clear, and doing some hunting at the same time wouldn't be terrible. "Morning Dustbreeze. You're up early." He commented, flicking his paws free of snow from walking over to the she-cat.

Dustbreeze looked up when she heard a rustling of movement, a little suprised that it hadn't come from the warrior's den behind her. She gave a chipper smile to Flintstar when she was him, though her eyes showed a little concern at the tired smile she got in return. She put down the paw she had been licking after straightening a last few hairs on her cheek and dipper her head in greeting.

"Good morning to you as well. I wouldn't call this early for me, I usually wake with or before the sun." She replied, squinting up at it once more. It hadn't even quite risen above the trees but it still felt too early. The days were so short now and it felt like you had to be up early to make the most of it, but Dustbreeze was just a morning cat out of biological habbit. She hadn't really planned of the leader being awake and having to ask him to join her hunting, but she supposed it wouldn't hurt. She never had spent much time with him, but lately she didn't really feel like she wanted to. Her own inner turmoil made her feel a little smaller than the other warriors who could so happily go about their duties and patrols with eagerness. She pressed down the feeling. This would be good, she was a bad liar but hopefully they could steer clear of any actual deep conversation.

"I was planning to go on a short hunt before meeting my apprentice, care to join?" She asked, turning her attention back to Flintstar.

Blossomclaw awoke next to Hawkclaw with a start from her dream. In it she had just fell off a cliff, weird. Shaking out her pelt, she got up to stretch, trying not to wake him. Examining her claws, she glanced around camp, wondering aimlessly what was going on.

[Tigerleaf]

Tigerkit blinked once. And then again. Yawning, she stretched her jaws into a wide yawn. Then she remembered that she was five moons old today. YES! she thought. In exactly one moon, she would have her apprentice ceremony. Sitting up, she scanned the nursery for a playmate. (reply if you want to play with Tigerkit)

Tigerkit woke up, her eyes blinking and adjusting to the bright light. She leaped up and bounded over with enthusiasm to a group of kits nearby, and immediately squealed at a kit called Silverkit, "Hi! I'm Tigerkit! Who're you?"

Tigerkit woke up, and yawned. Remembering herself, she sprang up and ran to the nearest kit. "Hi! I'm Tigerkit! Who're you? Do you wanna play?" (reply to me if you want to join Tigerkit)

"I'll keep that in mind for future patrols." Flintstar meowed with a small chuckle at her comment, though it did make him realize something. He really didn't know many of his clanmates personally. A lot of the cats he'd grown up with were either dead... missing... or, he just never talked to them anymore.
At her offer, the tomcat gave a quick nod, and another smile, brighter than the earlier one now that he was up and moving about, and his mind was no longer plagued by his dreams. "Yeah, I'd be up for a hunt, I probably need to allow my apprentice a little more time to rest as well." He meowed before turning around and heading towards the camp entrance, glancing back to make sure Dustbreeze was following. He might be a little eager, but Flintstar really needed to get out of camp.

Pinepaw rolled around in her nest. She was restless the night and disnt get a lot of sleep. It seemed that a lot of the cats were a little on edge and she wanted to know why. Why were apprentices trained but left out of politics. She came here for adventure, not to sit around and do nothing. She sighed dramatically and sat up, beginning to groom her fur while she waited for anyone else to wake up and entertain her.

Smokekit got up from her nest. She yawned, exposing her small white fangs. She looked at her moss nest and clawed some moss off of it, turning it into a mossball. She smiled and looked around. She walked to a cat. "Hey! Wanna play?" She mewed, her eyes shining.

It've been another day. Snow almost everywhere. Although the sun's rays warmed the pelt of Sore, he shivers from bitter cold. Will it take moons to find the ThunderClan camp or will he have to go into another border to find a clan camp to toy with.
He stared at the starry night -sadly didn't find camp when the sun is high- the stars of the warrior ancestors. StarClan, the Turkish Angora reminded himself. He met and guided by a ThunderClan warrior who was in StarClan, the clan full of undead, powerless, cats! They shone dully, maybe he didn't believe in them enough. If he believe StarClan, they will shine brightly until their welcoming glazes burnt his black pelt. He opened his maw, unfamiliar scents wafting around him. He stumbled around, to find some entrance to this hidden camp.
He plodded his sore paw into plants and brambles. Once again he scent the air.. cats?
A ton of cat scents...fresh...going....This way! He sprang into action, sprinting forwards until he ran into an entrance made of brambles! It stings, but not sting enough to make Sore care.
He pushed forwards until he fell out of the entrance... of the ThunderClan camp! He scented and looked around, seeing dens made for each rank. Warrior's den, considering to see a grown cat come out it; an Apprentice den, noting a smaller warrior following said grown-cat. A Nursery, smelling milk and hearing kittens mewling -how annoying-; the Medicine den, scents of herbs and plants and berries too.
He watched each cat wanders around, then stepped up to the center and yowling, "I will like to see and talk to Flintstar!" [ RedHead]

(Open to cats who want to notice that Sore is there.)


Thankfully, Flintstar's thick black fur allowed him to sit in the cold outside of his den with little difficulty, which allowed him to keep an eye on his clan. Which, at that moment, also allowed him to spot a trespasser walking straight into camp. Flintstar was immediately to his paws, ears pressed back on his head and a growl echoing in his throat. He wouldn't blame any of his warriors for this, it was a cold morning so Flintstar hadn't sent out any patrols yet, and there were practically no cats hanging around in the clearing. Though, as the stranger called for his name, the leader became more wary. How was it that a complete stranger knew his name? He didn't smell of any clan, so he would definitely not know about him as the leader of Thunderclan. The large black-furred tom straightened himself up and walked over to the tomcat with a confident, but unwelcoming demeanor. He didn't give his name right away, instead waiting to see what this stranger wanted. "Why must you see him? He is Thunderclan's leader, and will drive you out of this clan without much hesitation, trespasser." The tom growled, ears flattening to his head. Threatening was the way he wanted to go for this, once the stranger found out he was Flintstar, he wanted him to be scared. This wasn't a young kittypet who didn't know better than to trespass. This was a full-grown outsider, one that probably clearly could smell the borders yet crossed them anyways, and was stupid enough to waltz right into a clearing full of feral cat scents.

The rogue glared around the camp. Are they ignoring the Turkish Angora? They will pay for their crimes for not paying attention to Sore. Grumbling some curses under his breath, he looked around once more. Ahah! Finally a clancat noticed the jet-black tomcat. This clancat was almost the Turkish Angora's size and has black pelt with white dappled on the tomcat. He looked up and down at the tomcat. doesn't look small and weak like Daisyfur, he would like to talk to the StarClan cat. He thought over to keep his mouth shut about saying how weak these ThunderClan cats are or else they will be provoked and killed the disrespectful rogue.
"I had came from far away. I was brought here by a StarClan cat," he explained, leaving out the name of the said cat. "She told me that one of the clans' leader, ThunderClan, is Flintstar... and I like to join."

Dewkit slowly got up from her nest and blinked. "Huh? W-what's going on?"

"H-hello! W-what's your name? D-do you want to play with me?" She mewed, wondering why she asked someone she didn't know. She held the mossball in front of her. "I'm Smokekit!" The she-kit awkwardly smiled.

Pinepaw looked over, the permanent smirk on her face strong. She squinted to recognize who it was and went back to grooming.

"Hello Sootpaw. Can I help you with something?" She asked. Maybe it was mean to put up this front, but she wasnt overly interesting in making a bunch of close friends
Just the close ones she needed. She continued to groom her silver tabby coat. Her golden eyes watched the other apprentice with michevious interest.

Sitting in the center of the clearing, Leopardpaw looked around for something to do. Her tail flicked as she searched, examining the camp for any duties that needed to be done. Nests were cleaned out, the fresh-kill pile was stocked... she had nothing else to do. The Bengal frowned, sinking her claws into the ground absentmindedly. Stars, was she bored.

Dustbreeze had gotten back into camp from a hunt some time ago. It was still early and plenty of day left. She dropped her fresh kill on the pile and looked up, immediately spotting her apprentice. She grinned. Dustbreeze loved working with the young cat, but the tensions in the clan's had her on edge lately. Some battle training seemed like a good idea today. Some basic defense and attack now that they had gone over stance.

"Hello Leopardpaw. Are you done with duties? If so we should head off for some training." She meowed, sitting before her apprentice and running a tongue through her wind tangled fur.

Blossomclaw awoke next to Hawkclaw with a start from her dream. In it she had just fell off a cliff, weird. Shaking out her pelt, she got up to stretch, trying not to wake him. Examining her claws, she glanced around camp, wondering aimlessly what was going on.

She looked up as Dustbreeze approached her, a smile spread across her face. "All done," the apprentice said with a nod, tail flicking. She was proud of herself for keeping up with her duties. Leopardpaw hopped to her paws and stretched, ready to head out of the camp for training. "Will we do battle training or hunting?" she questioned, head tilted to the side.

"Battle for today." Dustbreeze said with a little chuckle. Maybe they could go out again this evening for a quick hunt and tips sessions. Only if Leopardpaw had the energy. Dustbreeze walked over to Leoparpaw and bumped her head into the apprentice's affectionately. She found the little cat to be so adorable, always keeping up responsably and eager to train.

"Maybe if you're still feeling energetic towards sun down we can go for a quick hunt, deal?" She smiled, then pulled away with a wink. "And as always, catch me if you can! Time to warm up!" Dust booped Leopardpaw on her nose and then dashed away towards the training cave, ears turned back to make she the apprentice was following and keeping up as she twisted and wound through the territory.

Leopardpaw wriggled her nose as her mentor booped it, then shook her head and raced after her. She moved as quickly as she could, trying her best to keep up with Dustbreeze without tripping or running into anything. Her tail waved in the wind as she chased after the warrior, a wide grin spread across her face. She already knew it-- Dustbreeze would be a wonderful mentor!

"Flintstar?" Honeybrume called for her leader, poking her head into the den. She had been out on a solo-hunting session when she found the ShadowClan apprentice, yapping about some sort of emergency. Well, with the alliance going on, she figured this was Icestar's messenger. "I um...I believe ShadowClan has a message for you–"

the moment that pretty lady brought him to the leader's den, peachpaw swerved past her and padded straight up to the large ThunderClan leader, and bowed dramatically before him. "almighty flintstar! please forgive me for intruding unannounced, but this is an emergency. riverclan has launched an attack on my home, and icestar needs your warriors for assistance asap. chop, chop! death happens as we speak!"

[RedHead]

Flintstar raised his head in surprise at the intrusion into his den, though he quickly caught onto the young Shadowclan tom’s frantic rambling. Getting quickly to his paws, Flintstar nodded to Honeybrume and the tom. “Thank you Honeybrume, please remain in camp and make sure everything here remains calm.” He meowed before turning to the other cat, his mind whirring as he tried to decide what he should do. He needed a patrol of cats who could quickly jump to action.

Flintstar exited his den, green eyes scanning the clearing as he quickly picked out a few of the warriors he knew would be up for quickly coming and helping him and Shadowclan. He’d spotted a bunch of the clan gathering to get ready for the gathering, but looks like that might not be happening anymore. They might not be going tonight, it seemed like.
“Songthorn! Blossomclaw! Dustbreeze! Minktail! Cherrybubble! Shadowclan needs our help. Follow me as quickly as you can!” He yowled, hoping to Ben heard by each selected cat.
Then Flintstar turned towards his deputy, leveling the tom with a stern look. “Buckbranch, you’re in charge while I’m gone. I expect nothing bad to happen while I’m gone but I want you to be on your guard. We’re bypassing the gathering tonight.” He meowed, growling out the last part. Why did Riverclan choose tonight of all nights to attack?
Turning back towards the Shadowclan apprentice, Flintstar flicked his tail. “Lead the way.”

[ Alaska Slushie hxneysuckle Pepperkins Ever Fuzzy ]

Cherrybubble had immediately ran over upon hearing he leader’s call, ears flicking upwards in confusion but obeying his command anyways. She’d been waiting to go to the gathering, but clearly some stupid decisions had made their plans change. But she was all for a battle.

[ RedHead ]

Songthorn blinked up from where he had been standing in the crowd, hearing his name get called. He rushed over to Flintstar and gave a nod, ready to rush out to battle. The small tabby warrior's ears flattened as he glanced at the ShadowClan apprentice, unsure whether or not he was to be trusted- but he couldn't take the risk. What if Burnetsnap was in trouble?
He had to go. He had to fight.

[Fuzzy]

Minktail jumped at her name being called. What was going on? With her former mentors commands the brown warrior jumped up and followed him. They were abandoning the gathering all together? This was strange. And to help ShadowClan? Eh, she wasn't to in to that but never the less she followed. Did something bad happen? She mused quickly catching up to the large tom. "What happened to ShadowClan?" Minktail asked in her normal almost nervous voice.

Buckbranch bounded over at his leader's call, ears rotating in concern. He'd heard rumors that RiverClan might try something, but it seemed that was actually happening. I'm just glad I don't have to participate in the battle... at least, not yet.If Lionstar was ready and able to attack ShadowClan's camp on the night of a Gathering, who was to say he wasn't just as willing to send a patrol over to ThunderClan? His claws flexed and he nodded grimly. A quick mental glancing over of the cats Flintstar had selected told Buckbranch the leader had chosen well. "I'll make sure the Clan knows," he said with a nod.
Turning to face the rest of ThunderClan, he called, "Go about your duties normally, everyone, but remain on guard." Then, to the medicine den[ Delta Lilyfur2], "Tallmarsh, Irispaw! Have some herbs ready for when they return!"

The orange molly glanced up worriedly as she darted over to her leader. What a ruin to a perfect day. Hearing something about helping Shadowclan she shook her head in disbelief. So those mangy otters finally attacked. What did Shadowclan do to them again? She couldn't remember at the moment but it must have been bad. On the day of the gathering no less! Those riverclanners had no boundaries to what they would do. Inwardly hissing, she glanced at the shadowclan warrior worriedly. Poor little ones, having to fight a war that shouldn't exist. But that was not her focus at the moment, getting this fight over with without dying was!

Stormpaw looked into the elders den with his eyes wide. This place needed a lot of work. The elders needed to be checked for ticks, bedding needed to be changed, food needed to be brought. Stormpaw didn't think he could do this himself, good thing Pinepaw was assigned to help him. "Whatdoyathink Pinepaw? How fast can we finish this... this.... thing?"

[RedHead]

Flintstar gave Buckbranch a grateful look for his quick jump to action, thanking the stars Buckbranch had enough sense in him to keep his cool. Hopefully this would give him a leadership chance to, improve his standing within the clan. After thinking quickly Flintstar also called towards the medicine den. “Tallmarsh! Gather some herbs and come with us. Shadowclan still currently has an untrained medicine cat, and they certainly could use your help. Irispaw can stay here in case any of our clanmates need something.” He’d known the young apprentice was working hard with her mentor, and he hoped she knew enough to help any Thunderclanners in the short time they were away. “Cherrybubble, stay behind and help Tallmarsh collect some things before following us.” He called to the warrior, then turned to his gathered patrol.
“Be prepared for anything. We’re running into a vicious battle, it might be over when we get there but Shadowclan needs any help we can offer.” With that said, he burst into the territory, deciding going to Shadowclan’s territory and following the sounds of battle would lead his patrol straight to them.

Cherrybubble gave her leader a quick nod, slightly disappointed but also wanting to help Tallmarsh. She ran to the medicine den, awaiting to be told what to do by the medicine cat. “We’ll probably need a lot, Shadowclan’s camp itself has been attacked.” She informed the medicine cat, green eyes hunting at some worry for the younger cats in Shadowclan who couldn’t defend themselves.

As Flintstar came into the clearing and started yowling out an announcement, Amberpaw, who had been curled up asleep outside the apprentice's den, lifted her head drowsily and perked her ears, listening with half-closed eyes.
When it was clear the leader wasn't going to address her, she yawned and tucked her chin into her paws, closing her eyes. Soon, a light snore emitted from her, tail tip flickering as she napped.

However, she wasn't aware of a young apprentice padding past, and when he suddenly tripped over her tail, her head snapped up, and she growled dazily before she realised what had happened. Amberpaw scrambled to her paws, nudging the tom to his paws and looking at him with concern and slight panic. What if he'd been hurt terribly, and she was responsible?
I don't want to be punished for this! I didn't mean to have my tail in the way!!! Nooo!! she had these thoughts whirling in her head, and after a few moments realised she hadn't said a word, she'd just been string with a wide-eyed, anxious expression. She coughed nervously. "Are... are you.. alright? I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean... you're not hurt, are you?"

Amberpaw followed the tom into the apprentice's den, tilting her head and looking at Foxpaw with a concerned glint to her eyes. "Maybe you should see Tallmarsh if your head hurts. You know, just to be on the safe side." however, after a moment it was clear that Foxpaw wasn't planning to get his head checked, so she blew out a sigh. She sat next to his nest, debating whether she really wanted to go to her nest for the day.
However, she figured since she didn't think she could fall back asleep, she pointed her muzzle towards the entrance to the den. "How about we go get something to eat from the fresh-kill pile? I hunted a plump vole earlier that we can share... It's the least I can do."

She then ducked her head with slight embarrassment. "How... however, if you don't want to join me, that's fine, too... I see you're tired. I, I just... thought... um, I mean, if you want to, you can sleep. I just wanted to share my vole to make up for my mistake." her whiskers quivered nervously.

Amberpaw followed Foxpaw out of the den, and when they were settled down with the vole between them, Amberpaw gently flicked his ear with her tail. "Pretty, eh? That's like saying a rat is beautiful," she joked, knowing that, yes, she was quite attractive. Then her face gained a more serious expression.
"There was a tom I had loved... his name was Mudspeck, and he had been my first mentor. However, he disappeared from ThunderClan before I could tell him how I felt. And I haven't seen him since. It left me heartbroken, and I still miss him. He had been so kind, and caring. I don't know what had brought him to leave the Clans, but I never saw him at any gatherings. I had a feeling he had left forever..."

Suddenly the tips of her ears grew red with embarrassment. "Oh, I shouldn't be spilling all this out to you, Foxpaw, it was stupid of me... I guess nobody else was willing to listen, so..." she pulled the vole into her paws and took a mouthful, swallowing a couple bites before swiping her tongue over her whiskers to rid of any morsels. She then pushed the vole to Foxpaw for him to take the next bite, all the while keeping her amber gaze on her paws.

Amberpaw looked up at him, a grateful look in her eyes. "Thank you, Foxpaw... Hey, would... Ah, uh..." she trailed off as he got up, and when he licked her ear, she felt her pelt heat up a little.
When he headed towards the den, she watched him go. "Oh, uh, good night!" realising he probably didn't hear her, she looked back down at the vole in front of her. She gave it a curious sniff, and realised there was a little meat left. She sighed and ate what was left before pushing it away. She got to her paws and glanced around her, wondering what she should do.

She laid back down beside the fresh-kill pile, curling into a ball and tucking her chin into her paws, letting out a light sigh. She was glad it was a little warm today; it meant she didn't have to sleep in her nest to get warm. And since she was underneath a bramble bush, that helped, too. Feeling sleep come to her, she closed her eyes, feeling the lull of Dreamland pull her under.

As Foxpaw started tucking moss around her, Amberpaw woke up from her sleep, blinking tiredly. When she saw what Foxpaw was doing, she sighed and lifted her head slightly. "Oh, Foxpaw, you don't need to do that... I would've been fine." she had to admit, it was sweet of him to have thought to take care of her like that. "Tha... thank you."
She gave him a smile, then sat up, raising a paw for him to stop when he turned to get more moss. "How about we go exploring for a little while? I think it would be fun." she leaned towards him, eyes wide with mischief "And, since it's dark, no one will see us, so we can explore as much as we want! It'll be great!" she let out a small mrrow of laughter.

"So, what do you think?", she asked, then felt the tips of her ears grow red again. "Of course, I'd understand if you don't want to... after all, we might get in trouble.."

“A mentor!” Stormpaw thought to himself, He had dreamed of this day every since he could think! He would be the best warrior Thunderclan had ever seen! He would hunt the best, fight the best, and pass down all his knowledge to apprentices of his own. While he was thinking this, his new mentor Bumblestep walked over to him and touched noses with Stormpaw. Then Bumblestep asked the question that Stormpaw already had the answer to. “Hello Stormpaw. Excited for training?”
“Of course! Why wouldn’t I?!” Stormpaw burst out. “I’ve been waiting for this day for so long! When do we start hunting? Or fighting other clans that cross our territory??”


Bumblestep blinked down at Stormpaw, a smile on his maw. He's an excitable one, that's for sure, he thought, before placing his tail on the young cat's shoulder to calm him. "Well, first things first, we'll be taking a tour of the territory for today. After that, it'll be your choice what we do. Are you ready to go now, or do you wish to eat a little something first?"

((Whew, I know it's been a while, but my response is finally here! Sorry it's so short, it'll be longer as we continue on through the rp ^^ ))

Irispaw was surprised that she was to stay in camp, because she didn't know many herbs or treatments. Starclan, what an I supposed to do!? She would figure it out herself...she hoped. Maybe there was another cat who knew the names and uses of a few herbs! Despite her worries, she nodded to Buckbranch. It would be ironic to tell herself to 'break a leg' because...she didn't know how to treat one. Okay Irispaw, what DO you know...dandelion to numb wounds, marigold for infection, coltsfoot for pads, cobwebs for wounds, honey to soothe and help swallow herbs, moss to soak up water, and deathberries...well, they're not herbs. And I never learnt what catmint did. And that's all Tallmarsh taught me. I hope I can put it to good use!

Pinepaw looked grumpily at the elders. She aught to get the look off her face though and shook out her fur. She didn't want them to think she was disrespectful. She looked over at the other apprentice.

"Let's split the duties. I'll check them for ticks. Can you get time cleaning." She gave him a hard look. Pinepaw was not going to be doing the duties that she did not want to. The silver gabby's thin tail pashed behind her as she thinned her eyes at the young tom.

Petalkit was asleep in the nursery when she was woken up by a group of older kits. The molly stood up and padded over to them. "Can I play with you guys?", she asked. All the kits looked at her, laughed and ran out of the den. Her ears folded down in disappointment. Why were older kits so mean? Petalkit dragged her tail and padded over to her nest. She laid down with her head rested on her paws in boredom.

Watching the younger kit get rejected broke his heart as the tom remembered his fondest memories as a kit. Marigold colored eyes looked around the clearing for a certain object. A-ha! Padding over to the warriors den and coming out with a wad of moss, Owlwatcher tried his best to make a moss ball. Keeping an eye on the nursery entrance while trying so terribly hard to moss ball the large tom finally did. Getting close enough Owlwatcher rolled in the moss and waited for the kit.

Sparrowkit was mad at herself for getting Toadkit embarrassed. " But it's not my fault." She thought out loud, realizing that someone might of heard her she put her ears down and layed on the pile of moss under her. Now we're even she thought
