Strawberryf-paw padded up to Bumblestar's den, casting a nervous glance at Nightgaze. She was uncertain about reporting to her leader, since their last interaction went...so well. But she wasn't about to make Nightgaze have to speak up for her. The pale ginger tabby cleared her throat and straightened her back before tipping her head inside, staying outside the den entrance. "Bumblestar?" She called into the den. "I-I have a report." Strawberrypaw wasn't usually the type to stutter, but she was apprehensive. She hoped that she did was enough to at least show Bumblestar she was serious about not breaking the rules again in the future. She didn't want to be exiled from the clan...the clan was everything to her. She didn't mind if Bumblestar decided that she needed to do more and kept her as an apprentice for a little longer, as long as she wasn't exiled from the clan, she could live anything.
Nightgaze followed Strawberryfur into the leader's den. Personally she was satisfied with the work the troubled warrior had completed, feeding the kits and queens, hopefully Bumblestar would be as well, if not then she could vouch for her! She wasn't the most persuasive of cats but she saw how remorseful Strawbs was and so she deserved more leniency than the truly wicked criminals.
Sitting back on her haunches near the mouth of her den, the small Hornet was about to speak before Strawberryfur unintentionally broke her off. Surprised but having no problem with the pale ginger tabby sending in a report herself, Nightgaze simply shuffled and sent an encouraging grin her way. Strawbs seemed on edge but Boss wasn't all bite and she didn't expect Bumblestar to be too harsh on her since she would be there to give her own report on progress. This would all go smoothly!
Oh, hey, they were done. Bumblestar tossed Nightgaze an acknowledging half-smile before turning back to Strawberrypaw. She was sure the warrior had done fine, if Nightgaze wasn't protesting, but it was still fun to watch them squirm sometimes. "Alright, let's hear it then."
Silverleopard ThunderClan Warrior
She / Her ; 27 Moons
a silver-and-white rosette she-cat with blue eyes, daughter of lionwish, sister of acornfall.
Silverleopard's broad-shouldered form slunk into the den, her blue eyes almost as if they were chips of ice. Spotting Bumblestar's tabby-and-white pelt lying within her nest, the warrior dipped her head respectfully. ''Bumblestar.''
Lifting her head, Silverleopard sat down and flicked her tail tip, signaling for Crowpaw - hopefully he had followed her in - to do the same. ''Cormorantswoop and I were out hunting, and we caught Crowpaw outside of camp by himself. He was sitting in a tree at Cattail Pond, bird watching. Or so he says.''
Stars help her, she was going to claw the next cat who wandered off, regardless of their age or rank. Bumblestar sat up and immediately scowled at the news brought to her, directing her stare to Crowpaw.
"You should know by now how this works," she snapped, "'specially considerin' we just talked about this at the last meeting. Exile, one moon, for disobedience. Get outta my camp before I make you. I don't wanna see, hear, or smell you in or around my territory until that moon is up."
[ Crowpaw has been exiled for one moon as per the current restrictions for leaving camp by himself. He's permitted to attempt a rejoining at December 16th. If he doesn't leave by your next post, he'll be forcefully driven out. If he's found within the territory or by its borders during this time, he's liable to be attacked and permanently exiled. ]

Hey steps were slow and shaky. She messed up. What if this damned her whole life? She could never be allowed to train another cat, to watch over the kits that she so found joy in…what if this was it? Stupid Stupid her. She should’ve scented the two-legs. It should have been herself over that poor apprentice. She couldn’t throw herself at them in time. If only she followed him…stopped him from going the simple few fox-lengths that he did.
Her head hung low nearing the ground and her wide, green gaze glanced over to MilkBee. “BumbleStar…we need to go.” she muttered, trying to put together her scrambled thoughts to form a proper sentence. She hadn’t even waited for a response when she started towards the den. The den that suddenly seemed so large and scary and above her. “Miss…uh…BumbleStar…may I come in?” she stammered nervously, swallowing back a flow of tears and begging for mercy.

Milkbee walks close to Orangeflower, shooting her nervous and worried glances here and then. She wanted to tell the white and orange she-cat SO many things. That what happened wasn't her fault. In fact, Milkbee herself hadn't scented the twoleg, either! It broke her heart to see the older warrior so... Devastated after the apprentice's kitnapping. She'd never known Stormpaw, but he seemed like a fairly nice cat. She wanted to let Orangeflower know there was nothing she could have done... But she couldn't. She did not want to make things worse.
The cream-furred she-cat only nodded at the mention of Bumblestar, padding after Orangeflower to the Leader's Den.
"Don't ask, just come on in." Bumblestar poked her head through the lichen curtain, scanning both warriors with a furrowed brow. "What happened? Both of you look like you just watched somebody die." If she had to go clean up another mess...
Now with the leaders gaze pricking her she was even more jittery, shaking and cowering her body to the ground. She felt so small- so pitiful- so insignificant. So wrong and stupid. “I- I didn’t know- there were two-legs. It- it sh-should’ve been me. I’m sorry- I’m so…so sorry…I should’ve- scented- or seen them…th-they took- Storm- Paw…” she finally mustered it out, now tears pattered on the ground. She felt so guilty. So so guilty at the apprentice being taken. He had so much potential to so good for the clan. And it was her fault they were down a future warrior. He could be dead- why oh why?…

The brown tripod left his den, standing in the clearing for a brief moment before heading over to bumblestar's den. "Hey bumble," he called out making his way in the den without asking before leaning on the den wall. "sorry if i'm intrudin, but i don't wanna stand in the cold while waitin for ya to say come in. Anyway, came here ta talk to you bout some stuff. if not i'll just head back to my den then," he said, flicking his ear.

Something about waking up today had confirmed it. She had tried to keep her symptoms in check, spending more time than usual in the territory, away from the rest of the Clan. She didn't want to get them sick. She didn't want them to catch this. With each passing day, Redhawk could feel herself deteriorating more, and she knew she should've moved to the quarantine camp a long time ago.
But she was scared.
Their paws never seemed to want to move in that direction each time they went to the territory. Fear kept them trapped, heart racing and ears flat against their head. It felt like all the progress they had made since returning to ThunderClan had gone down the drain. They were thin - too thin - and their paws shook and their stutter it was... well, it was worse than it had ever been.
She knew she needed to go, but... call her a coward, she didn't want to do it alone. So here she stood, just outside Bumblestar's den, nothing more than a shadow of her former self. The disappointment the leader must feel in her was almost enough to make her turn around, not bother her with this. But she needed to see Mudhound. And Wolfhive.
Thrushkit glanced around at her siblings and heaved a quiet sigh in her little chest. She’d have to be the one to speak up won’t she? She looked Bumblestar in the eyes, a spark of a fire in her gaze, and nodded determinedly. “Yes. We’ve all agreed to take on new names. Fresh start and all that.” Plus, every time they heard their names called it just reminded them of the terrible events at the last meeting…
“I want to be named Sunrise. Like a new day.” She declared, puffing her little chest out proudly. Thrushkit looked around at her siblings, beckoning them to speak up on what they wanted their names to be.
The young tom-kit nodded his head, yes they were here to change names he - he didnt want the name that was given to him by his... what should he call her? mother, a monster? He didn't know and he didn't want to think of it. Focusing his gaze on his sisters ords saying she wanted to be called 'sunrise like a new day' , it sounded nice hawk didn't have a proper reason to change his name to what he picked he just liked the name, turning his gaze back to bumblestar he spoke "I would like my new name to be hailkit" he meowed slightly.

Starlingkit shot a look at her littermates as they spoke, eyes narrowing. She hadn't quite given much thought in her own name change, having found no reason to spend time on something like such. Thrushkit had chosen a decent name. Sunrise. Like a new day... Hm. Corny.
"Horizon for me." she muttered, tail curling around her paws as she sat. She'd overheard some apprentices and warriors talk about the beautiful horizon ahead, always there whether it was sunrise or sunset. Also, it sounded cool.
Owlkit glanced from one sibling to the other as they spoke. They'd gone over this before. Remove the connection, be... be better.
"Floodkit." A strong, powerful force. She could protect her siblings. No one would hurt them again, especially not Hailkit.

BUMBLESTAR
She sighed through her nose. Clearly they'd all given this a lot of thought, and she couldn't exactly blame them. "Alright. We can do that. You're all nearin' your ceremonies, right? Next meeting I'll get you lot apprenticed 'n make an official announcement. For now, feel free to tell everybody else if you feel like it."
She paused to click her canines together. She should probably ask... "How're you holdin' up? Anything else I can do?"
Seeing Nightgaze's calm demeanor helped Strawberrypaw to breath easier. She took a breath before facing Bumblestar again. "I was able to offer assistance to the queens and kits in the nursery." She meowed with a dip of her head. "I...I know that it cannot make up for my mistake entirely. But I hope you'll accept my work as a sign of my devotion to the clan." She glanced at Nightgaze briefly, hoping she had done this correctly.
So it was done now. She was Sunrisekit. She felt that she could lift her head and hold herself with pride. She was also proud of her littermates, they all chose good names. And stuck with their decision. She glanced around at them at Bumblestar's other question, then looked to her leader. "If I may," she meowed, meeting Bumblestar's gaze steadily. "I would like to request Mothflame be my mentor." She stated, waving her tail. She wasn't sure if her littermates had put much thought into who they wanted their mentors to be, but Sunrisekit knew.
Mothflame was a strong cat, and she wanted to get stronger. Strong enough to ensure nothing ever harms her littermates ever again.
