The little fluffball let a smile gleam across his features. Cottonpaw, finally Cottonpaw. It was a strong pride that seeped through his body as Twilightstar gave him his new name. Finally time to prove his worth.

”Thank you Twistar!” Cottonpaw just about managed to squeak out through the overwhelming feelings.

Leechscar was his new mentor, the intimidating warrior. But Cottonpaw wanted to be just like that when he grew up, deeply respected and loved by the clan. His head swivelled in the crowd trying to locate the feline.

When training began that's when the real fun would start.

Leechscar was hanging closely around Batglare. He wasn't sure what was wrong with the tom, but he seemed down about something. He wasn't talking to Leechscar about it whatever it was. Since the fire, Leechscar's been mostly off his paws, stuck with some weird concoction that Badgerbait stuck on his front paws. His paws didn't hurt nearly as much as when he first burnt them, so whatever she put on them must have been working. That was the only reason he wasn't fussing about having herbs on his paws.

He also got himself into his current predicament so no one to be upset with but himself. The huge tom was settled on his side in between the nursery and the warriors' den when he heard Twilightstar summons for a meeting. He hadn't bothered moving from where he was resting, he could listen to his mother just fine from where he was.

There were a ton of new apprentices, eight of them. That was a lot for WindClan. They still had a lot more to go considering how many litters WindClan's been having lately. He wondered if WindClan was really up to the task. Lichenpaw was becoming a warrior too, great, he hoped she made more of herself than the other mousebrains WindClan had.

Oh, and he got another one. Yay! Sighing loudly, Leechscar gingerly got up and padded over to meet Cottonpaw. "Huh, I figured I'd be training one of Leopardsong's kits, but you're unexpected. I look forward to working with you, Cottonball." The fury meowed and lowered his head quite a distance to touch noses with the apprentice.

He urged the new paw to come and sit with him while walking out of the way as his mother got started on Lichenpaw's ceremony. He had been interested in training Falconkit, but Cottonpaw wasn't bad. He hoped his more timid and softer nature might rub over on Owlpaw's more excitable nature.

He spotted Leopardsong near the nursery and flickered his tail in greeting. He wasn't walking over to her. His burnt paws were still tender too much movement caused irritation and pain.

"Of course I do, but if my punishment is to be held back a moon. I have to obey Twilightstar's wishes." Ferretkit's gaze turned on to Fernkit who managed to slip past them and away, he was kind concerned for his brother. As the big brother it was his duty to set an example, and he failed already. He turned his gaze back to Songkit, the closes to him out of his siblings. His favorite sibling but he wouldn't flat out and admit it to his other siblings. "You shouldn't hold back for me, I'll catch up before you know it and we can gain our warrior names together." He purred as he brushed his muzzle against Songkits

Hawkkit nodded importantly. Why are you being punished? He asked, his amber eyes sparkling.

Crowtooth
Windclan Deputy | He/him | 51 Moons

Power Card: Cold Gust

....When had his kid gotten so big? with them acting as cat Russian nesting dolls the change was now apparent as when not long ago Rabbitpaw had to rear up to reach his larger mentors face, now he just had to stretch his neck up. His little guy wasnt so little anymore. Yeah Crowtooth needed to drag him off for some bonding time and fun soon before he was too serious to enjoy the silly side of life.


"Busy or not I aint ever too busy fer ya. Whenever ya need me I am here fer ya an' yanno I love spendin' time wit' ya, busy aint got nothin' ta do wit' it."
Crowtooth had been firmly informed part of being a good deputy was taking breaks when needed so it was doubly good for him to set time aside just to spend with Rabbitpaw. Good for them both with a heavy duty on them to get away from it sometimes.


Chuckling as the medicine cat apprentice commented on the number of kits escaping the nursery the deputy offed a bit of knowledge for the younger cat to chew on.
"Theres only gonna be more new apprentices as time goes on kiddo~ Windclans got whats called a baby boom goin' on right now, the nursery is downright overflowin' wit' kits. As time goes I doubt theres gonna be a single warrior in good standing wit'out at least one apprentice.

We're kinda worried if we're gonna have enough mentors ta be honest. This is just the beginnin'."
Usually taking in outsider kits who needed a home wasnt a question as a clan always loved new blood for the clan, especially new blood with low risks of having grown up with other loyalties. But now though? Now windclans huge number of kits would test their abilities to care for them over leafbare, and the high ranks had pondered the risks of taking in more mouths not their own. It wasnt an easy thought to be sure.
