WindClan Galewood

[Watson.]

Ottercold.

He/him - WindClan - Warrior.

Ottercold sat stiffly, thinking how to respond. As much as it seemed out of character for a cat that was percieved as rude as him, he didn't want to hurt Daffodilpaw's feelings just because he doesn't know how to comfort someone.
"It's... okay. I don't expect this to be easy either." He paused for a moment, looking away, carefully pondering on the next words he'd say. "...I swear by WindClan I'll do my best," and he dipped his head, marking his words.
Yes, a bit dramatic, but that is how Ottercold is, and he was decided to dive into these unknown lands to help this apprentice, one he barely knew at all. He meant his words.

Leopardpaw cheered the new apprentice names, and then waited for the new warrior names to be announced.
That would be her soon, hopefully.

Oh, wait, someone's here, it's Maggot!
There was a warning first before Maggot put their face in her fur.
Hm, she's not sure they're in the best mood right now.

"Heya Maggot, how are you?" She asked.

Ohh.. YES! Gracklekit had been waiting anxiously to hear his new name announced, paws kneading into the peaty dirt. And when Twilightstar finally said his new name — 'paw!! — he couldn't contain the starry look in his eyes. Then, he had to bite back a yowl of triumph as the leader continued, assigning him to Crowtooth. Yesyesyes!! His uncle had worked his magic after all! At once the tom gave his siblings both an affectionate nudge before racing up to the deputy, blue eyes gleaming with excitement.

"UNCLE CROW!! Didya hear that!? I'm your apprentice now! You did it!" He squawked, running in a circle around the battle-scarred tom before sitting up far-too-straight right in front of him. Oh yeah, what was he supposed to do? Touch noses, right? A bit too eagerly he jutted his muzzle forward, practically bumping the deputy's face, but he didn't seem to care at all. The newly-named apprentice didn't think twice about the fact that another apprentice was assigned to his uncle; not yet, anyway. "With you trainin' me, Imma be the best warrior 'n tunneler ever!"

He was, in fact, on top of the world. The kit-energy would take awhile to leave the restless tomcat, and poor Crowtooth would have a pawful and a half on top of having two other apprentices. But, hey — at least his 'nibling' was more than ecstatic to be there. Enthusiasm counts for something, right?

“I’m ready now!” Flickeringpaw chirped, practically bouncing on her paws. Her head and feathery tail were held high, icy hues bright. “I suppose we should wait on Twilightstar to call the meeting to a close, though..”

Head tipping sideways at the thought, the newly-named apprentice sat back on her haunches at her mentor’s side, wrapping her tail around her paws and fixing her eager, ice-blue eyes on the lilac-gray pelt of the WindClan Leader sitting on the Galewood above.

GASP. No. Way! Their names! Ohhh she just couldn’t wait! This was like the best day ever, well maybe not ever, there were lots of very good days, but also this one was very good a AAAAAAA oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my-
Hmm? Had she missed something? Where was her name this time? She was at the meeting! Oh.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. She was meant to move closer.
Coldkit and Cinderkit had clearly moved closer to mum. Oops. Shrikekit, had not. How didn’t she hear her own mum?! Had her excitement really been that overpowering? Oh gosh, she'd messed up there, hadn't she? Big time. Big big big time! She couldn’t help but feel dismayed. Not for long though! Because her siblings were now apprentices! And that had to be second most best coolest thing possible!

She chanted all the kit's names, but chanted her siblings' SUPER loud "Jasminepaw! Skypaw! Crowpaw! Buzzardpaw! Gracklepaw! Egretpaw! Mangoliapaw! Cinderpaw!! Coldpaw!! Frostpaw! Frostpaw! Flickeringpaw!!!" She was bouncing around on her little paws now, barely able to contain her excitement. She hadn't even noticed the moss that still clung all over her pelt.

Buzzardpaw slowly walked away from the Galewood, finally having known who his mentor is. Fernpool, right? Where was she? His gaze flicked through the cats methodically, trying to spot her.

Vinesmoke
11 Moons
He/Him
Vinesmoke watched as all the new apprentices came forward he grinned as he watched their bustling. Whenever the mentors were being assigned he listened aimlessly he wouldn’t be receiving one no way right..?Oh woah hold on Coldpaw was his..he knew he would receive an apprentice quicker than others being one of the few tunnlers but this soon woah he quickly got to his paws looking up at twilightstar he knew his leader knew what she was doing but all he could do was swallow his fear..would he be good enough for his apprentice..? Yes he would he would have to be Coldpaw deserved the best if he had to go to crowtooth or Dustbunny for help so be it he waited for the rest. He would introduce himself afterwards

Crowtooth
Windclan Deputy | He/him | 55 Moons
Power Card: Cold Gust

Once again Twilightstar was doing that thing where she did something that made him very happy them immediately smacking him with the wet fish of bad stuff. Like last meeting it was good news about something then he got saddled with the raptor-child and now he got Gracklepaw as he wanted, but also one of Twilightstars kids and not even the nice one! He got the annoying one gunning for his seat! Why not Coldpaw, it'd be hard to train a blind cat but sight mattered little in the tunnels and she seemed sweet. But nooOOOOO.



Ok names first then he could internally whine about having three two brats for apprentices now (because he totally wasnt biased Gracklepaw was an angel and totally NOT just as bad as the other kids).
"Jasminepaw, Skypaw, Buzzardpaw, CROWPAW! EGRETPAW! GRACKLEPAW! Magnoliapaw, Cinderpaw, Coldpaw, Frostpaw Flickeringpaw!"
And then, before he could adress Cinderpaw the closer one Gracklepaw was ramming into his shins full speed and full excitement.


"I did hear kiddo! An' o' course yer my apprentice I said ya would be! Congrats on yer rank up!"
Gracklepaw was still young so between Crowtooths elevated perch and size he still had to lean down to touch noses, but nowhere near as much as he once needed to. And, at least, the uncle could still carry the tom with some effort, and so Gracklepaw was lifted onto the roots that made the deputies perch.




.......After a long sigh Cinderpaw was too for all Crowtooth had been mildly irritated by the kids attempts not long ago. "So yer wit' me too ey? Well I suppose ya wanna be a tunneler is why. Tell ya what, after the meetin' Ill gather up Egretpaw an' Crowpaw an' we can all do a territory tour together fer today in a group, let yall see yer home." Hopefully the offered bribe of freedom would sooth the spiky little thing a bit for now.

EGRETPAW
she/her | 5 moons | dark brown and lilac tabby with dappling, cream markings and blue eyes
[ sticky pads ]

egretkit doesn't even realize she's holding in her breath out of anticipation, until she lets out a heavy exhale when she's finally renamed. egretpaw. paw!! paw! speaking of paws, hers are full of energy and unable to stay still - making tippy tap motions against the ground as she casts a glance at gracks and crowy. they're paws, too, now. she's excited, but she feels the exact same! maybe she thought she'd feel a lot bigger.
more grown up - she still feels like the same ol' egret.

crowy gets a mentor named hollysap, which is a very pretty name in egretpaw's opinion. though, she has no idea who they are, but still glances around. gracks gets uncle crows, and she flashes a grin at him as he nudges her before sprinting off. frostpaw (one of her cousins, she thinks,) gets her papa. blinking, the newly made apprentice grows a bit restless until she finally hears who her mentor is. batglare?? what the heck is a glare? an' what's a bat look like?!, she wonders, turning and glancing around.

finally, at the back, she spots a massive brown and white tom who looks very ..well, the opposite of her papa. so, not goofy. anywho, it's very chilly! so, she hurries towards the warrior, flashing him a toothy smile. "hiya! you're batglare, aint'cha? I'm egretpaw!!" she chirps, immediately trying to touch noses with the tom, standing on her tippy toes. though, in her excitement, she might've bumped batglare's maw instead. then, she's sitting down and trying to smush herself against him so they can share warmth. "question!! what's a - a..glare? 's that a plant?" she inquires, voice dropping to a whisper as twillystar speaks up.

Hollysap
She/Her - 16 moons

...an apprentice? her? whuh? a look of shock swept across the young warriors face, but nevertheless, she had a kid to train now. the black she slinked through the crowd until she reached crowpaw, giving him a small smile. "Hollysap. pleasure," she stated, bending down to touch noses. "We'll start training as soon as possible," she stated before returning to the crowd and sitting down, allowing crowpaw to follow if they wished.
