☘︎ Pebblesplash just listens to the meeting. She’s bummed that her apprentice went missing and hopes the young cat is okay. Losing an apprentice wasn’t anything new for her, but it hurt nonetheless. Maybe she’d take on one of these new cats…? Letting out a soft sigh, she takes note of the new lineup of apprentices. Duskkit seemed to be experiencing some form of dread from what she could see, and Fawnkit seemed uninformed that her ceremony was today, which made Pebblesplash smile a bit. She is reminded of her ceremony, when she groomed her fur for hours before the moment happened… Where was the third kit…?
”Ma!” the she-kit purred, bounding up to her mother rapidly from the nursery. “Hi, hi, hi!” she purred, simply, happy to be around the one cat she truly cared for (other than dada and her siblings…probably). Mama was also the only one who knew of her ability.

Swanberry sat in the clearing, Siamese ears pointed towards the Skyridge. To be honest, Swanberry was never one for announcements, she found more joy finding things out in a more gossiping manner, but information was information and---
"Ma!"
A soft yet familiar voice filled her pointed ears. Turtlekit. The queen turned, jade green eyes widening in a small fit of shock. Shouldn't she be in the nursery? Preferably sleeping? But, who was she to ignore her kit? Especially after all the predator incidents. Even the thought of one of her kids being snatched up made her fur bristle. However, as she looked at her daughter, the sharp lines on her masked face rounded out, and her teeth flashed from under the flaps of her muzzle.
"Hey hun." She said, her voice soft as though Turtlekit were sleeping. "What are you doing out here? Don't you have sleeping business to attend to?"

Amberflare lets a small smile spread across her face as the kits rush up to the front. Awww, kittens are so cute! And apprenticeship is such a big part of their lives...such precious lives. It warmed her heart to see such young cats so eager to begin the next step in their journey. Reminded her of how keen she was to please...hmm.

There goes the little one~ Her gaze followed Duskkit who ambled up to Stormstar without hesitation. Has it been that long since she saw the little one? It felt like just yesterday, Brokenstream and her were running around and about with little kit in the nursery. Her eyes filled with warmth for the little kit through the striking pain that ran up her leg. The silverish she-cat hunched back into her gentle frame, trying to ease what ever pain that struck her. With brows ached in frustration, Floodsight had made a couple glances around to catch her own apprentice. She'd been stuck around camp for a while. A while too long. She wanted to be out in the fresh and open. And hopefully take Aspenpaw to finish the rest of his training. He's growing a little too fast.

Brokenstream nodded approvingly in response to both Ravenpaw and Rainpaw. "Swimming is just the best, isn't it? Not long ago, I used to be scared to swim, truthfully." He admitted with an awkward shrug, casting a glance at Floodsight. "Wouldn't you say, Floodsight?" He mewed to the silver-furred she-cat, green eyes sparkling with laughter. "She saved me, wouldn't you know it?" The tom said quietly with a nudge to Ravenpaw and Rainpaw respectively before turning his attention back to Stormstar. Ah! New apprentices! What a wonderful time for the Clan. "It feels like just yesterday you and I were up there becoming apprentices." He murmured fondly to his fellow warrior. "Look at us now."

Riftpaw sniffed at the twins response, a twinge of...huh? He wasn't really sure, but it wasn't a good feeling in his chest when he learned Rainpaw went swimming without him. "Hmph." He huffed, but at her pleading gaze, he felt himself awkwardly soften. "S'okay." The young tom mumbled, scuffing his paws on the ground.
Well, it seemed like Russetkit was nowhere to be found. That was rather disappointing, but not something she could stop the whole meeting for. "Fawnkit, Duskkit, until you complete your trainin' you'll be known as Fawnpaw 'n Duskpaw. Fawnpaw [ @fawn_ ], you'll be with Owltalon [ @Marigoldwhisper ], 'n Duskpaw [ @Idiotic.Bean101 ] you'll be under Sunsetgleam [ @Minku ]." She gave a nod to each of the new 'paws, then to the mentors. Both were good, solid cats, so she had no worries that their training methods would be up to par.
"Now there are a few 'paws that need to be reassigned. Some of the mentors have gone missin', 'n others have just not been trainin'. Startin' now, if I have to reassign your apprentice due to your negligence, you'll not be allowed to take on a new apprentice until you can prove to me you can handle it." Training of their 'paws was a high priority in Stormstar's mind as she swept her gaze across the Clan gathered below the rock.
"Salamanderpaw [ @nyme ], you'll be with Snapjaw [ @seeingstars ]. Starrypaw
[ @Wingnettle ], Weepin'wind [ @iliri ] will be your new mentor." That one Stormstar was a bit disappointed in, mostly because she'd had high expectations for Wavebreaker - but she hadn't seen the tom in quite some time. "Jaggedpaw [ @Witchy Madelaine ] since you've returned to us you'll be continuin' your trainin' under Peachspring [ @chickadee ]."
That was it for the cats who'd gone missing - now time to light a fire (hopefully) under the mentors who Stormstar had noticed had been doing a pretty lackluster job so far. "Silverpaw
[ @Rose Heart ], your new mentor'll be Treeclimber [ @SpottedRaven ]. Seapaw
[ @sleepyyjax ], you'll be with Amberflare [ @Morrigan ]. Rainpaw [ @Luna16 ], Sedgeflake [ @BEAR. ] will be your new mentor. 'N lastly, Breezepaw [ @Spookytail ], you're with Irisfrost [ @kittycatburmise ]." Hopefully no one would have difficulties finding their new pairings. All that being said...
"If you heard the name of a 'paw that used to be yours, consider this a warnin'. You're not to have a 'paw of your own again until you can show me you'll actually train 'em." Her tone was firm as she spoke, blue gaze serious as she watched her Clan below. Either the warriors she had reassigned apprentices from would pick up the slack, or they wouldn't. Either way, Stormstar was going to make sure the 'paws got mentors who actually gave a fish's fin about them.
With that all out of the way, next up was something that made Stormstar excited. A sharp hiss left her though as she moved too fast with her injured shoulder, which she quickly cut off and shoved the pain down. "Next up we've got a cat who's been workin' her tail off from what I've seen - Primrosepaw, come forward." For this one - and all warrior ceremonies - the leader had already decided that she wanted to be on the same ground as them.
Limping down the stone pathway until she was back on level ground, her blue eyes found Primrosepaw's and she grinned. "I, Stormstar, leader of RiverClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of what it means to be RiverClan, 'n I commend 'em to you as a warrior in their turn." A little twist of the traditional words, and hopefully Fury, Lions, and Bites weren't upset by it. "Primrosepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, 'n to protect 'n defend your Clan, even if it costs your life?"
[ Honeystep, Oliverat, Foxleap, and Rainfur are currently barred from taking on an apprentice - meaning that they cannot be applied to be mentors in any finders! After 11/17, their activity will be re-evaluated and if Stormstar feels as though they've started putting in effort, they will be able to take on apprentices again! ]
Snapjaw • She / Her • Riverclan warrior • 27+ moons
Oh! An apprentice? Cool- Snapjaw hadn't been expecting to be given an apprentice but it wouldn't be a bad thing. Hopefully having an apprentice would distract her from her recent losses. Her gaze scanned the clearing as she tried to identify the cat that was now her apprentice.
Adderstrike wondered what the cats do that didn't train their apprentices. It came off strange to her but there wasn't much time to dwell on that thought as soon her very own apprentice got called. Adderstrike tried her best from jumping onto Primrosepaw in just sheer happiness for her beloved apprentice getting her day in the sunshine. The best she could do was just wiggle in place giddily and had a warm smile on her face. "Looks like its your time Prim." Adderstrike said looking to her. There was so much she wanted to say and...
Honestly she wanted to cry. Just from all the emotions that were overwhelming her at the moment. Instead, Adderstrike kept a brave face on and held back any tears of joy. After this meeting though, Prim was going to have to watch her back or be attacked with love!
