DANDELIONMANE • They / Them • Thunderclan warrior • 15 + moons

Dandelionmane gathered below, wrapping their tail neatly around their tail as they waited for the leader to speak more.

Violetfreckle and Timberpaw both wandered out of their respective dens. Violetfreckle headed toward Wolfhive [ @BEAR. ], sitting near him and offering a small smile. Timberpaw, on the other paw, stuck more toward the back, a bit ashamed to show her face to her mentor.

[Angelia]

Fireflykit came, excited. She'd be an apprentice now! She wondered who she'd get.
Berrypaw came, wondering who the next med cat and med cat apps would be. Not her! She wasn't interested.
Whitepaw came, not really doing anything, just looking around. Where was Wolfhive? His mentor could tell him what was going on.

Doing nothing more than scraping his claws against the ground in the clearing, the tom looked up at Bumblestar as she called for a meeting. Shifting so he was sitting somewhat more comfortably as he awaited an announcement he knew was coming. Although it wasn't something he'd thought he'd have to hear, something he was hoping he wouldn't have to hear. Especially so soon.

Brindlepaw rolled out to the meeting, a scowl on his face. His new mentor Redhawk hadn’t exactly panned out into more training, and he held Bumblestar somewhat responsible. Wasn’t his mentor meant to be one of their leaders handpicked elites? Yeah right. (Open)

If Mountaintalon thought he was intimidating, he must've been terrorizing newborn kittens. The look he gave Wolfhive didn't faze him in the slightest, and Wolfhive met his with a steely gaze. He wasn't going to give this cat a big reaction - it was Kestrelpaw and Morningpaw's big day, alongside many others.

He did want to reassure Kestrelpaw though - Mountaintalon could stuff it if he had a problem, because the anxiety that oozed from her was palatable. If not for Mountaintalon hovering over her like some obsessive hawk, Wolfhive's instinct would be to tuck her in and comfort her. "She'll call you up, don't you worry. We're just glad you made it out overall okay - lost enough to owls already." The Clan would sorely miss you. "Did you ask her for anything specific or just leave it up to her?"

"But maybe I've neglected to give you and your siblings the whole of it. I can explain after the meeting."

As his daughter continued speaking, Mountaintalon raised his eyebrows, a rare spark of pride igniting behind his eyes - but it was extinguished just as quickly when his muzzle twisted into a frown, and he reached out with a forepaw to nudge Kestrelpaw's head upwards so he could examine the cuts. "Brackenclaw," he rumbled. "How incapable of him to even allow you to be harmed in the first place. That is not someone you should be involving yourself with." The warrior wasn't present at the meeting now, but he would be exchanging a few choice words with him later.

If it weren't for the following news, he might have snarled at Wolfhive to shut up, but now... he didn't bother hiding his disdain. A new name entirely? "So, instead of embracing the fact that you have proven yourself capable enough to survive such an encounter, you've decided to throw away a name that would have brought you glory?" His right ear twitched rapidly. "The name gifted to you by me? By your mother?"

As if he gave a damn about the female that had borne his kits, but maybe Kestrelpaw would, and maybe that would make her feel some sort of guilt or shame for daring to disregard his mark.

Wolfhive(wait, when had she started calling him that?)'s assurance that his Ma would call her up had Kestrelpaw's anxiousness receeding, ebbing away slowly but steadily. "No, I didn't ask for anything specifi-" Her words cut off when a paw turned her face away, tipping it upward so Mountaintalon could inspect the brand new cuts on her face.

The blue-eyed feline blinked up at her father, internally (and externally) bursting with pride, a beaming smile spreading over her face. See, Papa cared about her. He was angry at Mr. Claw for... for her. Wait, but why? Brackenclaw couldn't have stopped the owl from picking her up, or the kestrels from attacking her. It hadn't been his fault, not really-

'So, instead of embracing the fact that you have proven yourself capable enough to survive such an encounter, you've decided to throw away a name that would have brought you glory? The name gifted to you by me? By your mother?'

Wait. No... no, that wasn't right... that... Kestrelpaw's smile faltered, blue eyes blinking rapidly at the agitated tone of her father's voice, directed at her. At her. "Papa, I... I didn't mean to... it wasn't on purpose, I wasn't- didn't intend to-" Her voice was getting progressively smaller. She didn't want her ceremony to be a disappointment. "-I can not go up now a-and tell Mrs. Star later that I changed my mind if you want. If that's better."

Another meeting so soon? He padded over to find his place. He had been expecting this. They needed a new medicine cat desperately. The clan couldn't wait for very long. It felt strange though. Strange that some cat other than Springlight was about to become their healer. He had lived through plenty of high rank changes, maybe he should have expected this. But he couldn't seem to get ahead of the shock that came with loosing a cornerstone member of their clan. And dealing with the aftermath never seemed to get any easier. Nothing was ever constant it seemed. He let out a small sigh. How naive of him to long for stability. Around him he also heard talk about new apprentices and warriors. Well there's some good news at least. He would never get tired of seeing how excited young cats were to finally be progressing in life. It made him think of his own apprentice and warrior ceremonies. How proud and confident he had been back then. Maybe I'll even get an apprentice this time. He smiled at the thought, but prepared himself to be happy either way. It wasn't about him after all.

The day had finally arrived! She bounded to her spot and sat her little rump down. She had taken down that Riviverclan spy and now she was becoming an apprentice! Bumblestar had said! Even if the Riverclan spy had been a fake. And all she had really done was step on his tail. But those were all details! Nocat cared about that! What mattered was she was here and she was ready to go! Her whole body tingled with excitement from her paws to her eartips. She surveyed the warriors in the crowd. Who was going to be her mentor? Keeping herself seated was difficult, but she made herself be still. She would be a full apprentice after this! She didn't want to embarrass herself!

Brackenclaw would pad out of the Warriors Den to listen to the meeting he wasn't sure what was going on but he made a point never to miss a Clan Meeting.

Ah, so his perked ears didn't decieve him. Mountaintalon was being a problem. Of course he was. Of course he was angry at Kes. For what reason Sproutfleck didn't know, but for yet another unknown reason it made his fur Twitch in attempts to stand oh his spine. But he had self control. Didn't want to make a scene. Didn't want to be a bother. But really, truly, more than anything? Didn't want some fool of a father being an asshole to his closet demon. The patterned tom couldn't resist a slight lip curl of disapproval. But he quickly hid it. Wolfhive would intervene if things got physical, he entrusted him that much as it was his job.

But The Bronze Knight seemingly couldn't bear to just sit on the sidelines. He rose to his paws, forcing his claws to remain sheathed (why was he so anxious today?) And subtly trotted over to the trio. He grinned at his apprentice. "Today's your big day, ya ready?" He asked with a purr, offering the warrior toms each a nod and a small smile. Even Mountaintalon. He had to keep his confusing intentions hidden. Masked by the need to sit next to his graduate. Even though though was sure her father had no interest in him sitting near her. But what was he gonna do? Fight him in front of everyone? Cry about it, Mountainlion. He didn't give a crap. But he didn't sit next to him, he sat by Wolfhive instead. It felt better. Better than sitting by that sorry excuse for a father. Sproutfleck didnt understand was kes saw in him. But didn't say anything of the sort. No need to cause drama. Sprout hated drama.

"I'm very proud of you. You'll be great and then you can't call me old, cause you'll be a warrior too, hmm?" He added with a grin and a wink, as he was indeed bursting with pride in his apprentice. Stop growing up. Stop. He had wanted her to grow up but now he didn't. Today his brain had chosen confusion. Happy sad protective subtle. Emotions were so strange for him, you should just be in a good mood or a bad mood not four moods at once. He was very grateful younger that Wolfhive seemed to lack any thoughts that Mountain could get physical.

Sproutfleck didn't.
