Cattail Pond

Maybe Lionstar sat on a hedgehog this morning? He seemed to be in a terrible mood today, not that she could be upset with him. Duskstar was horribly disoriented from the looks, one of the reasons Twilightstar so strongly dislikes being a leader was because they don't get cut slack for anything. It was rough, but one sort of learns to deal with it.
Buckbranch's silly little dream was charming to her, Twilightstar, as much of a hassle as it was, did like the idea of family. Something to tether others together when everything was falling apart. She had her own plans to acquire a family of her own, outside her mother and a certain Parasite, but only after she got used to this leader role she despised so much.
"That's a nice dream, now with Icekit you can start to make it a reality." Twilighstar mewed gently, eyes back to the curious-looking kit. The leader doubted she'd be a warrior anytime soon and if she did she'd have to really work for it. The lilac feline could see hardships and struggles for the deaf, but with some like Buckbranch around, Icekit future was already looking up.
Twilightstar gaze bleeds with concern as the tom started a coughing fit, he sounded terrible by the end of it.
"Try some water once you get your breath back." She suggested, she was assuming he inhaled a lot of smoke, Twilightstar didn't have the knowledge to know how to fix a problem like that, but if he took care of himself she hoped his lungs would clear.
She looked to Duskstar as the molly came over and thanked her. Even though she hadn't been all that delighted to come here to start with, Twilightstar was glad Coyotesnarl had suggested checking on them.
"Your welcome," she nodded back, the same concern she held for Buckbranch shined just as brightly for Duskstar in her green gaze.
"WindClan is more than happy to help." Twilightstar didn't need any repayment, but if made Duskstar more at ease with helping them somehow in the future, Twilightstar wasn't going to say no to it. Her whiskers twitch just a little hearing the small apology from Duskstar to her warrior. Was he looked down on in his clan? She decided not to muse on that it wasn't any of her business.
"You can rest and give orders at the same time," Twilightstar suggested, noticing how off-balance the she-cat appeared, "Did you visit a medicine cat?" If she fainted or collapsed from stress or excursion, that wouldn't be troublesome... for Twilightstar. Yelling at cats to do stuff didn't usually require too much movement. Plus some of Duskstar clanmates had brains right? They should know how to set up a camp? Twilightstar would need to get back her clan before dark, but she guessed she could leave some of her cats here if they needed the extra paws. She didn't see any RiverClan cats around to help... then again all the scents kind of mingled together so she couldn't rely on her nose to tell her who was in who's clan.
"If need the extra paws I'd don't mind leaving some of my cats with you at least to help you set up a camp." She offered Duskstar after the other leader sat down. She had no gauge on how far Duskstar's pride ran, it was often tricky offering help when it came to that. She heard one of the cats saying something about the Soft cat everyone was wondering about. If they had burned as the apprentice said, Duskstar probably did really needed the extra paws.

The Tabby flicked his ears as he looked up from the Warrior he had just handed food to, quirking a brow. Why in the world were they already getting scolded they just got here...and why had Rushingmoor introduced themselves...again, had Twilightstar not already done that? Either way the toms mood turned a tad bit sour. He could only move so fast! So with a huff he picked himself up, dipped his head to the Thunderclanner, and made his way over to Skunkblaze.

"erm. What do you need me to do?" he asked the warrior, pressing his pads into the ground. They stung a little bit, but it wasn't anything abnormal. I've never actually built a den before, so maybe, do you want me to go get the materials? Or would you rather me erm...well support it? If that makes sense uh." Honeypaw began to blabber on.

If you could support it from the inside while I finish the reeds, that would be great. Skunkblaze mewed, happy one of her clanmates could help her out. Once it's stable, we can cover the sides in moss or something, and make nests. @Starfall

No one else seemed to be in dire need of food at the moment and he trusted Thunderclan to be able to carry themselves over to the makeshift prey pile. Now, it was time to check on the den building. Rushingmoor trotted over time Skunkblaze’s group first, scooping up a ball of moss that rested nearby on his way. Dropping the mossball near the other Windclanners, Rushingmoor inspected the process and asked,

“How’s it coming? Looks pretty good so far!”

He knew that making two dens could be seen as unnecessary, but the way the Rushingmoor saw it, building two smaller dens equaled the amount of work as one extremely large den and could be done in half the time. The Thunderclanners would be less squished but they’d also have shelter within much less time than if he’d set a team to building one den large enough to fit them all.

It appeared that there were only a few more steps to complete before it would be time to make nests but he didn’t want to waste stron Windclan cats on such a simple task. An idea began to form in his mind but he waited until Skunkblaze or one of the others spoke before rushing off to start it.

@Hello~There

[Sorry this is late, I took a break]
"Wait, Duskstar met your mom while on an adventure, and who's Hound?" Blizzardpaw intrested in the story.

Aah, had so much time already passed? She must've taken to long on trying to find anyone who was willing to take the prey-- goodness, she better hurry! Giving a quick goodbye to the kitten she had given the bunny to, Hailpaw quickly made her way over to Skunkblaze just as Rushingmore finished speaking "apologies for my tardiness Rushingmore, Skunkblaze" it felt sort of weird, perhaps, apologizing to the second, specifically seen how the patrol had gone when they both were on it-- But they were here to help out, and it seemed to be going fine until now, so there wasn't really anything to feel weird for, was there? So oh well, "I took a little long in giving the prey i brought to a kitten" and checking in on it, for that matter.
But that aside, she should probably start getting to work before trouble arose "what can i do?" She knew that she likely should've mentioned that she had never build a den before, though then again, it maybe was a little obvious? There just didn't seem to have been many cases needing the building of a den, aside from the current one that is. But she could always gather materials, if anything. As long as she wasn't useless.

Hawkmist sat down, his mind rushing with thoughts, the river seemingly following him. It’s been some time... and they weren’t going home anytime soon.

His narrow amber eyes passed over the cats around him, tired, exhausted. It was better to just sit down, think about something... something good. Don’t think about the river. You’ve both lost and killed at the river, Hawky. But don’t worry, they’ll find out...

Get out of my head!!

The black tom grumbled and looked down, now hating himself inside. Yes, he did those things... but that was in the past. Can’t think about... everyone.

Hawkmist looked around, looking for another ThunderClan cat, preferably one who would make him feel better.

(Sorry for a very late reply)

Valleykit watched with a panicked gaze as Pinepuff padded off to find help for Gladekit, but bit her tongue to keep from calling for them back - knowing Gladekit needed some medical attention for the angry scratch on her face. Instead, she looked around at the cats around her warily, not super familiar with any of them, but trusting her mother's judgment. Following them to the WindClan tom, she straightened up a bit as Rushingmoor faced her, trying to look like her usual self-confident self in the face of a cat from another clan, however, she still looked stressed out and tired. "...Valleykit." She meowed after a moment of hesitation and then eyed the rabbit in front of them equally warily as he addressed the queen who was looking after them for the time being. The thing was huge, almost the same size as herself.

It's fine. Skunkblaze mewed, remembering the slightly odd patrol they'd been on together. If you could help me finish weaving these rushes in, and then cover it with moss, that would be great. With that, the molly bounded off to collect more moss, not wanting to use up everything on the walls. Returning with a bundle of it, she began patting it onto the sides of the den, sealing up any lingering cracks. @Estelle @Beau @Starfall

“I’m going to try to get some Thunderclan kits and apprentice’s over here to help with the nest building so you guys don’t have to waste time and energy on it. I think after this den is built you guys can take a break- I’ll have to go check with Duskstar and Twilightstar to see if anything else needs to be done.”

With a nod to Skunkblaze, Rushingmoor trotted off to find Buckbranch, thinking the Thunderclan tom might have more success in rallying a troop of young volunteers to build nests. When he arrived, the bengal mix was semi-surprised to see Duskstar, having been a bit too busy to really pay attention to her arrival. Offering each cat a nod as he swooped in, Rushingmoor focused his eyes on Buckbranch.

“Sorry to interrupt, but, Buckbranch, I was wondering if you might help me out. I want to try to get some kits and apprentices together to start building nests for the dens we are building but you know your clan better than I- do you care to ask them?”
