RiverClan Clearing

[flat._.chair]

~Reedpaw w/Bravepaw~
Her sides rose and fell slowly as Reedpaw was curled up in the corner of the clearing, rather tired as her gaze fluttered open and closed. The young apprentice was attempting to keep herself awake, and quite honestly, was struggling slightly with it, but nevertheless was still technically awake. Her ears perked up slightly when she had heard a familiar voice ringing out across the clearing. Her mind jumped to one cat in particular, a cat which Reedpaw had been friends with since they were kits, and one which had comforted her during the first meeting she ever saw. Reedpaws nose twitched as she slowly brought herself up into a sitting position and noticed Bravepaw, her gaze falling onto xem as a soft smile danced along her muzzle. Getting up on her paws, Reedpaw hurried towards her old friend as a soft purr was rumbling in her throat, her blue-green eyes alit with excitement. “Bravepaw!” she had called out, tail fluttering back and forth, “it’s been awhile!! How have you been? How’s training going?” sniffing silently as she shuffled around on her paws. This had been the first time Reedpaw seemed to act herself after her feelings became conflicted.

//sorry for late reply! tryna catch up on stuff\\

||>||BravePaw||<||

BravePaw smiled. “it’s wonderful to see you again reedPaw, i’m great, trainings fine and everything, just a small cut during dodging practice was annoying, anyways, enough about me. how are you doing?”

with snakeheart padding off, daisybird spoke up, looking over to palebrook. "let's go out into the clearing," she mewed with a flick of her tail, slipping out of the den. goodness, it was getting colder by the day.
"so, two kits!" she said, attention back on palebrook once she had found a comfy spot not too far away from the nursery. two was a small number compared to some litters, but kits were still troublesome either way.

"I have three kits myself..- or, had." she paused, lips pressed together tightly in a straight line, "-i have one who's an apprentice, hawkpaw." she continued on. oh yes, she still needed to talk to her daughter, didn't she. she'd have to do that soon before she forgot again. "the best advice i can give you is to love the small things, they become apprentices a lot faster than you realize." or disappear faster than you think, she thought both applied to her advice.

not the time to think about that now. she could feel her emotional battery draining, which was disappointing to say the least. "kits are exhausting, as much as i love them, they can drain a lot of energy from you. if you ever want to get some fresh air, don't be afraid to ask me or another queen to watch over them." oh, and another thing. " and keep an eye on them, especially when they're an older kit! they'll run off somewhere to explore before you know it."

Palebrook nodded, almost desperately taking in Daisybird’s advice. “But how do you keep them close?” She asked. She wanted to ask what had happened to the other two, but it was clearly a painful subject and Palebrook didn’t want Daisybird to have to dwell on it. Instead, she asked her other questions. “How do you keep them from wandering off?” You couldn’t tie down a kit, right? She shook her head. No, no. That was wrong. But other than that, there wasn’t really any way. They had minds of their own.

Houndkit was out in the clearing,one in the small amounts of times she could be spotted out of the dens. She was smaller than a few of the kits her age but why did she care? Everyone was fixed on being the best? Why couldn't someone be average? They were pretty average! They were one of those cats who wanted to be one level and stay there,no point in being something you couldn't be! Being the best or above someone was useless in battle or hunting. Yes it might give you something to overpower someone but why?

Why was the drive of His clanmates,it told different forms but it was the same. Lust! Lust is a psychological force producing intense desire for something, or circumstance while already having a significant amount of the desired power,pride or whatever he or she or they wanted but yet had! He wasn't in the mood for taking on life's biggest questions right now anyway. Houndkit had themself figured out for now,using many different pronouns was the goal,she had no reason to think anything else. He had set and good and got to that goal,they stopped at that goal no more,no less.

--Brittleshore-- Brittleshore's Reference

Brittleshore moved slowly, his gait off-balance because of his bad leg. It has been many, many moons and a long time ago when he had injured it. Brittleshore never thought much of it until cold days like these when his entire body was sensitive.

Brittleshore spotted a small cat sitting alone, and he frowned, walking forwards. Normally Brittleshore wouldn't care too much, for it was cold today and he didn't want any cats to catch illnesses.

"Young one," he said, "aren't you cold?"

Houndkit - Genderfluid - They/Them/She/Her/He/Him

Hound was honest,very honest about any points that came out. Standing up and padding a bit closer,the black and white bi colored kit stopped and looked Brittleshore's in the eye. no. Do you see all of my fluffy hair? It might be covered in dirt but wow! Is it that dirty? They just looked with eyes filled with confusion. His fur was covered in dirt and mud and it had stuff like small twigs and leaves stuck in the caked on mud and other filth. BARK!
BARK! BARK! That was the kit saying the word bark in the loudest possible tone- he learned that the word "Bark" existed and he slowly gained the habit of saying the word at random,he couldn't stop- Is being a warrior really worth all the issues tho? That's my question to you? If I'm gonna be deputy under Kestrelstar i've gotta know! Oh stars- here they went with the whole Kestrelstar deputy stuff,one time they wouldn't shut up about it and they got kicked of the nursery to go play and messing around with mud or dirt. Even then they found the perfect twig and put it behind their ear and it was there to this day.

--Brittleshore--

Brittleshore had to take a moment as the young cat not only didn't answer his question, but also proceeded to talk about how dirty his fur was. He also started to raise his eyebrows when the kit began to bake like a dog. And then the cat asked a strange question back.

"Deputy? Quite a high ranking goal, young one." Brittleshore sat down, careful of his bad leg, and swept his tail from side to side in the ground. "Let's see. I was last a warrior many moons ago, young one. But I can still tell you, even if I am an elder, that being a warrior was worth every challenge, every hardship, everything."

Brittleshore spoke with conviction, and he leveled the kit with a serious gaze. Brittleshore meant every word he said.

[OPEN]

Nightpaw hopped out of the apprentice's den and into the clearing. It's only been a day since he was made an apprentice and he was extremely excited and energetic, more than usual, anyway. Looking around with his tail held high, he sniffed the air and looked up at the sky. It seemed to be a nice day out and he looked around. He had no clue where his mentor was nor did he have any friends to ask for company so he can go explore. Padding over to a small cove under some reeds, he sat and began to groom himself.

Ravensplash comes into the nursery with a snipe and a mouse in their jaws. They look around for a kit or queen. They pause in front of one kit. "Hungry?" They ask softly, prey dangling.

Quietkit kits ears perked shocked that someone was speaking to her. "S-sure." She mewed quietly

"Snipe or a mouse?" They ask, placing both down in front of Quietkit. "You can choose the one you want."

"M-mouse" she said her voice barely above a whisper. She never had anyone speak to her she'd always been alone she wasn't even sure what to say.
