Stagheart chuckled as Daisypaw interrupted the moment, turning the attention back on her. He gave Willowtail an amused, knowing glance before refocusing on the brand new 'paw.

"Oh, really? That's good," he meowed with an approving nod. "I was worried about ya for awhile there. But Berrypaw handled ya well 'n good. That just means you're gettin' stronger," he added with a good-natured flick of his tail. Hopefully, his words were true... even if Daisypaw wasn't going to be trained as an ordinary warrior, at least she'd improve in some ways physically, right? He sure hoped so.

Daisypaw nodded and purred. "So what are we going to do first?"

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

It was time to wrap this meeting up, finally. "A couple of final notes before I wrap this up. First, I'm sure many of you are aware by now, but Skypaw, or Skyfall as he once was known, was exiled for threatening RiverClan. If anyone sees him on our territory, chase him off; if he shows up here and causes a fight, I don't care if he ends up dying in the process.

"Second, I'd like to have a proper den parent in RiverClan once more. I'll be keeping a close eye on all of RiverClan's cats to see who stands out as a potential candidate. I'm looking for someone who's patient, even-tempered, and genuinely interested in working with kids."

With that, he concluded, "Meeting dismissed."

[ As promised, here's a breakdown of what the new camp is like! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

The camp is surrounded on three sides by a massive, towering rock structure. This almost forms walls around the camp, protecting cats from falling over the edge of the cliff. The top of the rock walls are much too high for any cat to reach. The fourth side of the camp is open to the rest of RiverClan's territory currently, but Fadingstar hopes to build a new defensive wall here. A small, very shallow stream runs at the base of the rock wall; this stream eventually connects to the river that runs through RiverClan's territory.

The actual camp clearing is a mixture of grass and dirt. A few shrubs grow against the rock wall, sheltered from the wind.

Leader's den: In the massive rock structure that surrounds most of the camp, about a quarter of the way up. A small path leads up to the den from the ground. A tunnel is in the back of the den; this tunnel leads to an exit in the cliffs in the outskirts, just barely past RiverClan's border.

Warriors' den: Years ago a large tree fell against the rock wall, creating a sheltered area that now serves as the warriors' den. Lichen hangs over the fallen tree, providing privacy and protection from the elements.

Apprentices' den: Someone in the past dug a large area out underneath the rock wall, creating an underground den. This is where the apprentices reside.

Nursery: Located in between the warriors' den and apprentices' den, the nursery is only about five tail-lengths from each, allowing cats to quickly jump to its defense. It's a small cave tucked away within the rock. Feathers, leaves, and fur has been spread around the floor to cushion it for kits.

Elders' den: At one end of the rock wall, two large rocks lean against each other. Lichen hanging over the back provides additional protection.

Medicine den: Located about a quarter of the way up the rock wall as the leader's den is, the medicine den is located in a moderately-sized cave within the rock. A rock pillar of sorts sections off one part of the den, providing a space for herbs, sick cats, or whatever the medicine cat wants to use it for.

There's another cave in the rock wall, a little ways from the warriors' den, that contains a tunnel. This tunnel leads to Lionsbeach, popping out among some of the rocks that are near Seastones. The tunnel exit is still in RiverClan's territory, and is fairly well-hidden among the rocks.

A final, small area was dug out under the rock wall, in its own space in the camp. This "den" is small, but large enough to hold a few cats. It could be used as a quarantine area or as a prison den, as a couple of examples. ]

Water hawk walked over to Fadingstar. "Do you need help with anything I'm kinda bored?" he mewed to the leader. @occultation

Seapaw

he/they - 7 moons - Go with the flow

Thankfully, Shellpaw was able to be Shellpaw - they breathed a sigh of relief. Though they loved their name, they didn't want someone else to suffer for that. He joined the crowd, chanting Shellpaw's name joyfully. Now that they were both apprentices, maybe they'd end up training together!

Quickly, as seemed usual. The conversation took a turn for the worse - in his opinion at least. Someone was exiled for threatening RiverClan? Scary. It seemed like every cat was out to get them...
Then, a den parent huh? Would that mean no fighting...? That sounded like a good opportunity, but, uh, he was barely older than a kit. Seapaw didn't know the first thing about looking after them. They began to paw at the ground in disappointment. Though, they weren't sure looking after kits all day would be any fun, so...
