Rabbitpaw
He/him | WC Medicine Cat Apprentice| Moons: 11 | Part Manx cat

Rabbitpaw followed after Miss Lightningstorm as Windclan walked down into the seastones. It was chillier here, but it wasn’t anything crazy for a Windclan cat like him, they lived on the moor after all, though camp blocked some of it, and the medicine den especially so. He flicked an ear as he turned to glance at his mentor who was shooting him a look that didn’t quite make sense. It was teasing, but why was she being angery at him even if it was just pretend? She pulled ahead though, and his train of thought stopped as the pair of Windclan meddies made their way to their fellows.

If the last gathering was awkward for the group then this was straight hostile. The riverclan cat, a new one, most likely a medicine cat apprentice of Berrypaw, who is probably not called Berrypaw anymore. Then there was also another new face in the form of Mossfreckle’s new apprentice, presumably, which led Rabbitpaw to wonder what happened with the last one, Ground? No… Grackle? Grouse? Something like that, Rabbitpaw wasn’t too familiar with the other tom so his name wasn’t popping up immediately but he knew that he was in the right tunnel of thought at least.

The apprentice shuffled closer towards Miss Lightningstorm, not really sure what to do when faced with this, it almost felt like a fight was going to break out between the medicine cats and wouldn’t that be something. Didn’t these cats understand how much they represent their respective clans? Especially the new riverclan cat? Shouldn’t they be trying to actively paint themselves to not be so trigger happy anymore? He folded back his ears as he remembered everything that Riverclan has done to Windclan, recently and more anciently. Though they were supposedly better now, as he turned to listen to the new Riverclan leader as she spoke.

Rabbitpaw kept his expression as neutral as possible as he watched the new leader, Stormstar. Then his eyes went down to the deputies, where a new one for Riverclan sat, a feline that had quite a few scars, oh- He blinked as he saw Miss Twilightstar’s huddled form next to his dad, well it was kind of cold wasn’t it? Rabbitpaw didn’t think it was that cold, but also he was pretty sure that he had a thicker pelt than most, among his other oddities like his short tail and rabbit-like build, perhaps because he wasn’t clan born. Doesn’t make him any less Windclan though.

Before he knew it, Stormstar had finished speaking and following after the movement of his mentor caught his attention. Rabbitpaw flicked his eyes towards Miss Lightningstorm, confused, but followed her in leaving the squabbling medicine cats. Where were they going? It was clear Miss Lightningstorm didn’t want to be around the others and Rabbitpaw was more than fine with that, the fighting was getting him a bit nervous anyways, a bit of fight or flight from the three v one perhaps… and instead! Oh! OH! They were sitting with Crowtooth and Miss Twilightstar! He couldn’t help the grin at that, his tail wagging slightly.

As Miss Twilightstar was on one of Crowtooth’s sides and Miss Lightningstorm was on is other, Rabbitpaw allowed himself to burrow right into his dad’s chest, settling under his chin just as he had at the recent Windclan meeting. It was almost too warm for someone like Rabbitpaw but he was more than happy to sit here regardless, it was safe. He blinked his eyes open once he heard his name and realized with a start that this was likely the first proper meeting he’s had with Shadowclan’s deputy and it made him a bit embarrassed that it was with him being ill fitted underneath his deputy, but also, he didn’t really care too much about it.

“Hello, Miss Mistlewhisker, It’s nice to meet you.” Rabbitpaw nodded his head politely before turning his attention to Crowtooth’s question and he folded his ears back a little bit, “I’m not really sure, something with Cobwebfern and Rookfire. I think they have a past, and they are dealing with it here… I guess.” He didn’t really think this was gossiping but it kind of felt like it, especially in front of Miss Mistlewhisker who was Rookfire’s deputy, and also Riverclan’s new deputy as well…. Awkward.
