SALAMANDERPAW . 10 MOONS . SHE/HER . RIVERCLAN

Oh hey, Stonepaw's Stonepaw-ing in here! Salamanderpaw responds, first, with a smile that's nig enough to count every little tooth—entirely too big. She's actually grateful to be able to speak with the grey she-cat under maybe-less-awful circumstances than last time. And that's a hard maybe, since—

"You look nasty." It's commented with an exaggerated grimance, wrinkled nose and tongue shot out in disgust. It's not meant as maliciously as it might sound. Stonepaw had sounded a little giggle-y just then so she probably isn't dying, but there's a definitely a look to her. Salamanderpaw swears she's seen that sort of look on Seapaw before, like she's sick but it's not a trip to Berryshine and Cobwebstorm that she needs. Salamanderpaw adjusts herself, turning bodily toward the younger apprentice and tipping her head. "Has your mentor been taking you out and beating you with rocks or something? I'll yell at them if you want." Lately, Salamanderpaw is at odds with many of the cats who've been assigned to mentor Riverclan's apprentices. They're not her enemies, since they're Riverclan first and disappointments second, but they're on real thin ice.

"Or is that just your face now?"

Starrypaw
Riverclan | 8 moons
Mind Reader, Lucky Duck

Starrypaw was organizing her pebbles near her nest, but she couldn't let them in because they were too cold for her body.
A rivulet of tears streamed down her cheek, but she rubbed them away with her paw. It was a stupid thing. It wasn't a problem if she had just lost her favorite shell, wasn't it?

She had found it with Elderkit when they were younger, just arrived in Riverclan after the rogues incident. A pearl-white flat shell with two small ears and a few spots underneath. It was perfect, and it was her little treasure.

She hadn't told anyone, but sometimes, when she found herself alone in the apprentices' den, she talked to the shell as if Elderkit's spirit was inside. It was stupid, of course, cause Elderkit's soul was up in Starclan, right? Right..?

But it was as if she could still care for her deceased sister, and she would often carry it to the small creek to watch the water stream across the clearing together. It was her little sister's memory she carried with her.

And now... it was gone. She cried, thinking about how she had lost everything from the day she was born.

PuffinPaw
•Male
•Black Tabby
•Playful and Enthusiastic

PuffinPaw was exhausted from a day of training and slumped onto his cushiony moss bed, he tossed around a sappy pinecone he'd found on the ground while training when he suddenly lost control and sent it rolling towards StarryPaw. Things got tense for him as it slowly tumbled it's way too StarryPaw, she looked sad which made him feel even worse, what if it messes up her rocks, what if it gets stuck to her fur, what if!-... The rolling sound stopped, it was just them in silence, was she mad, was she going to cry, he felt so much guilt for no reason. He waited anxiously to see her reaction.

Starrypaw suddenly got scared when another apprentice appeared in front of her. With a pinecone rolling just at her paws.
She looked at it while the last tears accumulated on her cheeks, then gazed briefly at Puffinpaw. Did he want to play with her? Starrypaw wasn't good at figuring these things out.

"Uhm..." She murmured, embarrassed that someone had seen her crying like a kit. "I'm sorry.." She continued, rubbing her paw against her eyes as she tried to make herself look more composed. She didn't want to stay here and ruin other cats' resting time, so she walked over the pinecone and walked toward the exit, her head lowered and ears flattened against her skull.

Maybe she needed just some fresh air.

"It's okay, it was my fault.. Are you alright?" He felt bad about the pinecone thing but was curious to know why she was crying, he just wanted to know so he can cheer her up. PuffinPaw thought to himself, is he worrying too much over small things? Is he.. Annoying? He just sat there, wanting to do something else but doesn't want too bother her or seem weird, did she even hear him? He tried walking outside to follow her but stopped every few seconds and went back. He did it repeatedly, he felt like a dog on a leash.

The young hearted tom tossed in his moss bed, waiting for his mentors okay for training.

"Drizz... Drizz?" The tom whispered as he entered the apprentice den, wanting to see his brother. He didn't remember much from his time being away, he honestly only realized that he had disappeared at all because of Drizzlepaw's reactions and also that stuff around the camp was very different. Like Stormstar being gone. He wondered about his mother in that moment. She has always said that Fadingstar and Stormstar were bad leaders and high ranks, but then Adderkind said they just needed guidance. Did they never get guided? Did Owlstar need that as well? Maybe he should just ask the new leader himself.

Well whatever, he just wanted to curl up with Drizzlepaw right now. Rosemary's grey-blue eyes scanned the apprentices' den as the tripod limped his way into the space, with the darkened hour it was harder for him to make out his brother's dark pelt. But eventually did so and made his way over, collapsing in the nest next, and then pressing his cold nose into Drizzlepaw's fur.

Heronpaw
{ Female[she/her] * Riverclan Apprentice
* Purrks: none }

She had just been laying in her nest when a cat moved over to her in the apprentices den. She heard them yapping about a cat she didn't really know. Though she had heard about the incident with him at the last meeting. She was still pretty new to Riverclan after joining from the outskirts. Thinking about that her heart ached to see her mother again. It had been difficult, but she felt she just had to join Riverclan.

Heronpaw didn't want to be rude. Not when she hadn't made any friends yet. She didn't want to upset someone not when she's only been here for about a moon. She allowed him to finish what he was saying before she said anything. Maybe he just needed to get whatever he was talking about off his chest.

"That must of been scary. Knowing someone who was with you just the other day before they were executed for killing someone. If that were me I'd be hiding in my nest for the rest of my time.", she responded. She probably would have when she was an outsider with her mother, but weren't clan cats supposed to be brave? She wanted to be brave.

___________________________________________

CrowPaw gazed at her paws, sitting up with her head down. Her blue duel colored eyes were lost. She was unsure if everything, of what it believe. Larky…Shadows…that poor kit. It couldn’t be true. CrowPaw refused to think about it. Instead, she would remain in her racing mind. The worry of if her own sister was at fault…if that rogue had it cut out for her own family…CobwebStorm. She was so endearing to CrowPaw when the apprentice was at her lowest. She and BerryShine…she couldn’t help but a pang if sympathy for the she.

riverclan apprentice
a pale gray she-cat with dull blue eyes.
52/100

Salamanderpaw wasn't the only one who was acting exaggerated. At the comment of her looking "nasty," Stonepaw made an unusually... displeased face. Like she was being petulant. On a cat who usually kept her bad feelings private, such as Stonepaw, the whole look was quite out of place on her.

"No, she doesn't throw rocks at me," Stonepaw answered plainly. She was acting a bit exasperated, like Salamanderpaw was being the weird one. Why would Adderstrike beat her with rocks? Hit Stonepaw with stones? It was nice of Salamanderpaw to offer to yell at imaginary, mean Adderstrike, but the sentiment was very unnecessary.

"I don't know..." yawn, "what you're talking about. M' face is fine. Fine," she insisted, before weirdly laughing again for some reason. And tilting her head at a different, but still strange looking angle.
