"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.
Drizzlepaw- He/Him, 6 moons old, Riverclan Apprentice, No Purrks. Personality: Gentle, kind, and loyal. Disability: Deaf.
Drizzlepaw would feel a cold nose rouse him from his slumber much to his agitation he would open his eyes and look over about to push the cat away from him until his nose caught the scent of Rosemarypaw and he immediately would just purr. Happy to have his brother back he would instead just lay back down and curl up closer to his brother to keep him warm as he felt cold. Obviously Drizzlepaw didn't say anything on the account of not being able to he still made his appreciation to see Rosemarypaw again known with his insistent purring. (I'm so so sorry this took so long!)

As huge as he was, Nightweb could manage to fit in the app's den. His eyes darted around for a moment."Ahem, if you're in need of extra training, wish to go over some or just plain out bored and in need of something to do, follow me out to the clearing. I am currently helping train you guys, so this clan can stay productive," Nightweb says with a slight smile before turning to exist the den.

"Well, you look crazy. And when you start laughing like that, you sound pretty crazy, too." But it's fascinating, or perhaps just slightly more novel than most other things have been lately, so Salamanderpaw rises up from her freshly made nest so that she can waddle over and plonk down at the edge of Stonepaw's.
"Least it's not crying." She's a brightly-patterned loaf there for a long moment after saying so and not much else. Salamanderpaw is peering skeptically at Stonepaw before finally: "What's even so funny? Is this how we all find out you're silly, 'cause I didn't see that one coming." She's got a paw moving out slowly, guided by the intent to nudge Stonepaw's head to a position that's not as odd. De-sillyfication. "Or is this some crazy new way for a cat to die? Come quick, she's got the giggles and the droops, it's got to be greycough. You might get lucky though. Looks like the kind of thing you can sleep off." She only says that because goodness knows, Stonepaw looks like she's got plenty of things she could stand to sleep off. Maybe it'd just been to loud or busy before?
Seabreeze poked his head into the apprentice den with a single target in mind. Aspenpaw. Who has noticeably not been constantly biting at Seabreeze’s heels and with how much the former lionheart has been in and out of the apprentice den, he’s noticed that Aspenpaw has been in his nest more often than not. Something that worried him. No snark at the gathering and nearly getting himself and Floodsight in trouble with it recently either.
Spotting the grey apprentice, the tom had no qualms padding over and pressing his cold nose against Aspenpaw’s forehead. Not rough but firmly enough to shake awake the younger feline. “Hey anklebiter, time to get up. We’re going out.” He attempted to speak nonchalantly but perhaps to a cat that knew Seabreeze better you could tell that there was a nervous sort of undertone to the words.

Rosemarypaw was pleased with his last remaining sibling's reaction and he curled right back into a cuddle with Drizzlepaw. He understood that his brother was deaf... but there had to be a way for them to communicate like Rosemarypaw did with other cats. Maybe... they could make a language without voice, he remembered overhearing Spiritbunny talking about sign language. A different tongue of silent visual signs rather than spoken word. Maybe they could make their own version of that.
Rosemarypaw bumped his nose against his brother's forehead to get the other to look at him before pointing at himself with a paw and then freezing. What should the sign language for Rosemarypaw be? Something simple should work. Rosemarypaw bumped his own paw against his muzzle before lowering it to point pad up in front of his chest. Rosemarypaw waited for her brother's reaction before continuing.

Nights seemed to drag and daytime went too quickly, aspenpaw found himself in his nest more and more recently. He wasn't quite sure what the reason behind it was he just found it hard to find his usual energy and his laughter felt even harder to find. Worse yet his anger had been building up again but it wasn't against some outside enemy but at his own clanmates and himself! Yeah he didn't like this that much. He felt like he did back then beneath the Aspen tree before shorecrest had found him and brought him here. He had been young then and all other memories were a blur at most but one would always stay clear and real in his mind. It was always the traumatic ones that never left he supposed. The acrid scent, hardened dark ground beneath his paws. Those creatures taking them- no they left him. Trust really was a fickle thing.
Something cold touched his his forehead and it reminded him of something shorecrest and someone else used to do. Aspenpaw's eye shot open, his ambers eyes adjusting to the den dim lighting as he looked up at the tom before him. He frowned, one of his most "favourite" clanmates had come to bother him. Usually aspenpaw would have biting comeback or something to say to the tom but today he didn't have the energy too and no coherent words were really forming. With nothing better to do he rose to his paws without any complaint.

Marigoldpaw pressed multiple flowers and trinkets into Aspenpaw's nest with a few giddy laughs. She attempted to dart away afterwards, but slipped on her way out of the apprentice den, straight on her face... Then she darted away. With a throbbing head, yes, but mission complete!

Every cat needs to eat and well aspenpaw was determined to get back into the swing of things, it was hard with how lazy he had become. How lazy he had trained himself to be! Eat, sleep, eat, sleep. All day everyday. After talking with Seabreeze he'd remembered something. He was riverclan! He was going to be a riverclan warrior, and sure times were tough. Not the greatest things were happening a lot but that wasn't going to change if everyone decided to wallow in their misery. No, he was determined to make sure less bad things happened and tho he couldn't do anything very significant right now, that did mean he couldn't be useful to his clan. So after taking a lap around the clearing and only stopping to eat prey, Aspenpaw felt a bit awake. Actually he felt great! Except he was slightly longing to return to his nest- nope! Thoughts like that are what make you a waste of space. What he could do was perhaps check if any new apprentices needed training that he could provide, help out his denmates? He supposed that was a good idea. With amount of denmates his age with a lack of any training at all was alarming and he would have to do something about it.
Burying the remains of the prey he'd been eating, aspenpaw headed straight towards the apprentice den with the intention of doing some good. That's when the flash of gold and with fur caught his eye. A smile immediately worked it's way onto his face as he recognized his friend. "Mari-" the words hadn't even fully left his mouth before the older she cat fell and just as quickly got back up and continued running straight past him. Aspen stood for a moment, the grey striped tom processed what he'd seen before eventually accepting it and moving on.
As he entered the den however his task was immediately forgotten for his nest, that he placed near the entrance of the den, was decorated with flowers and an assortment of trinkets. He didn't put those there, this was his nest right. One sniff told him that it was. So what were these, gift? Gifts. Gasp GIFTS!!!! FOR HIM?? Gawwwww that was so nice!!! Abandoning his original quest, aspenpaw sat down and inspected each little trinket. He knew by the scent that still clung to them that these were from Mari. Hmmmm seems she upped him on the gift giving competition, yes it was a competition now because he declared it so, that was fine because he would just have to find something worthy of besting this and giving it to her. Mhm yes, then they shall be even.
Now if only his fur was long enough to hold some of this stuff-
(Extremely, extremely late Happy valentine's day! You best be sure that Mari will be receiving a boat load of gifts soon ywy be warned )
