Green eyes flicked from Willowfrost to Ravenpaw as the apprentice appeared. Larkswoop gave her apprentice a nod of approval. ´´You know the hunting crouch, but you don´t know how to stalk,´´ The dusky-brown-and-white tabby mewed with a whisk of her tail. ´´I want to work on that now that the lockdown´s been lifted completely.´´
The warrior´s ears twitched. ´´However, since Bumblestar wants to stick with the buddy system for the next half-moon, I´ve asked my sister, Willowfrost, and her apprentice to join us.´´

Stormwhisper padded towards a clearing where she could lay on and rest after a long day of traveling though she could sense someone watching her @forest

The queen´s tail tip twitched irritably with her sister´s tone. ´´Let´s just go,´´ Larkswoop meowed firmly, her voice hardening ever so slightly though she decided it was best to let it go. ´´I would like to be back before sunfall.´´
Without waiting for an answer from her littermate, Larkswoop wrapped her tail around Ravenpaw´s shoulders and headed out into the territory.

╔══ ≪ °❈° ≫ ══╗ Mothflame
Fluffy leopard-spotted she-cat with dichroic eyes and a scar covering half her face.
She/Her | 22 Moons | ThunderClan Warrior | Sweet but Deadly

Mothflame stared down at her own reflection in the running water. She didn't remember when she'd even began to feel used to her new face. It felt almost unreal, now. She hadn't thought she would ever get used to it. Kits screaming in fear, apprentices' obvious discomfort and disgust, warriors' uneasiness whenever they were around her. It wasn't right. It was never supposed to be this way.
But she was fine now, wasn't she? Sure, kits still ran from her and apprentices flinched at the mere sight of her mangled face, but she'd gotten used to the reactions. It did not bother her any longer. At least, not as much as it used to. It still hurt, just a little bit, knowing that despite her own love of kits, kits would never love her.
Mothflame stared for longer. How much longer, she didn't know. Suddenly, an unfamiliar face peeked over, Mothflame noticing the reflection immediately. Her eyes widened, and instead of turning to look at this newcomer, she blankly stared at their reflection. It was a kit. A kit... Despite seeing her face... That did not run. Her maw parted slightly in surprise, almost not hearing the young one's question.
She finally turned towards the kit, a friendly smile on her face.
"No, I wasn't born with this eye," she vaguely gestured to her blind eye. "But I was born with this." A smal gesture at her golden and blue eye. Mothflame thought for a moment whether or not to mention the traumatizing event that had caused her to lose one of those golden and blue eyes and leave her partially blind. She decided against telling it. It wasn't fun to scare a kit like that.
╚══ ≪ °❈° ≫ ══╝
Buzzkit’s head tilts down as he stares up at the she-cat with those kittenishly captivated eyes of his. He pauses to think for a moment. “I didn’t think cats could be born with a pretty eye like that. Like- um, like- you get to have the whole sky in your eye!” His head bobs back up at that last part, the kit’s tail flicking up with glee at the analogy that he’d thought of.
“That’s why you only have one, right? There’s only one sun. And you already have one in there,” Buzzkit muses, batting a paw up towards her right eye and cracking a smile again.
However, now that the warrior is facing him, and the longer the kit looks at her, the more apparent that the unsightly mark on the other side of her face becomes. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen one up close like this, much less such a large one marring a cat’s face, although of course he’s witnessed - from afar - other clanmates padding around with their own marks. A scar… covering up fur that causes the light to dance so brightly across it like… like a flame.
If that sad dint in her skin wasn’t there, would there be the impossible: two twin suns in that sky of hers?
Well! If this cat wasn’t born with that thing, Buzzkit doesn’t know where that must’ve came from. It looks weird, alien and obtrusive on the warrior’s face, but… Buzzkit can see what was meant to be there, so it seems to him like what’s supposed to be there may as well still be there.
And, just that easily, the little kit’s focus drifts away from the scar’s existence to instead sunny thoughts of admiration for the many traits of the she-cat’s that he finds special. “Anyway! You’re so bright. What were you doing before? What’s your name again?” he babbles breezily.
Alpinepaw said in response, "I don't want you to laugh at me for telling you my problems..." She paused for a moment before whispering, "I do not have anyone to turn to....whenever I have problems or just need emotional support."

While Littlerose was gone, Chasmkit stood there wondering where Littlerose would put the crowfood. She waited patiently and saw Littlerose coming back from her very short trip. Chasmkit would not tell anyone about it, since she thought it was reasonable to remove it as soon as possible.
Honeydew moved closer to Alpinepaw, she pressed her fur against the young she-cats as to reassure her. "Alpinepaw." she said, turning her gaze on the she-cat. "I would never laugh at you. I told you multiple times, you can come to me with your worries and problems. You have me to rely on. So don't think that you don't' have anyone to turn to or think I would laugh at you." she meowed.

Littlerose walked into the clearing, her eyes moved around for Chasmkit again
Tigerkit looked back at Wolfhive when he asked a question. What was her issue? she thought for a moment. "I dont really know..." she meowed honestly. "Just always been so angry." she meowed, turning her eyes away from him. Ever since she got demoted to kit, she has thought a lot about why she was angry, yeah she said she didn't know but she really did....but did she really want to tell him the truth? that it possibly had to do with her siblings? maybe the way her father treated her and her siblings....her mother too?
Wolfhive wondered if he should have expected more from this, as-if Tigerkit would unveil her darkest secrets and confess to him her sins. Of course it wouldn't be that simple. "Want you to think about it, 'cause it's okay to be angry but you shouldn't take it out on folks who did nothing wrong. Your Clan-mates aren't your enemy, you'd do best to remember that." If her ire had been targeted at one of their other Clan-mates-- an apprentice or kit especially-- she'd likely not be here today. She was fortunate, in a twisted sense of the word, to have threatened him.
A purr rumbled in the broad-shouldered tabby´s throat as the tom appeared, and Larkswoop gave his good ear a swift lick. ´´You´ll have some friends here soon,´´ She mewed, green eyes meeting Silverpaw´s own blue one. ´´I´m expecting kits.´´
´´I know you are more than capable of protecting yourself, but should you ever need me, touch this, and I will come for you.´´ - Grimshaw to Isla, Lightlark (Pg. 244)
Okay!
She got a hi in return!
She considers that fantastic progress!
"What's your name?" The calico asked, since she had no idea who this apprentice is.
She doesn't know any of them, really.
Only names she has memorized are her siblings, Ms Daisy and Ms Willow, and Papa!
She continued to stare up at Loonpaw, expectantly waiting for a reply.
Okay, so it looked like this kit was just... out here. On her own. Andddd now it was his job to watch her, or something. Not the way he planned on spending his time, but its not like he really had anything important to do either. Besides, better him than some other cat being the one to keep an eye on her. Seriously, you never knew what would happen if you left an incompetent cat to watch over a kit.
"I'm Loonpaw" he replied, sitting down and curling his tail over his paws.
