rookfire gave his leader a glance, not picking up much besides her calling for the clan to gather. he'd never been good at reading expressions, not reliably so anyway, and dawnstar just sort of looked angry constantly so it was a lost cause for the most part. he was slightly late, not that the meeting had started yet, but a lot of cats had apperantly made their way over faster than he had climbed out of his spot in the large pine.
given the fact that he had no one else to really go sit with and scorpionpaw was sort of a blaring chaos alarm, the enforcer made his way over to her and bleedingpaw. scorpionpaw being dragged around by bleedingpaw wasnt really what he had expected to see this morning but he chuckled at the bengal toms words. being an older brother...ish .. seemed to be both offering unlimited company and a massive headache for him.
"is there a troublemaker among us" he grinned, taking the liberty to sit down next to the two before tilting his head in thought briefly. "'been thinking about some swimming lessons once its warmer, what do you two say?"
Nightshiver
[ 65 moons | She / Her | Shc Forever Queen | Kitty Softpaws T1 ]
Nightshiver roused from within the nursery and stepped outside. Where usually she would watch the meeting from inside or the edges of the kits' den, this was a very special meeting. Her eldest daughter would most certainly be receiving her name at this time, with her assessment completed, and Nightshiver couldn't withhold the excitement bubbling within her. She felt so proud of her children, reaching the age of warriors, and was happy to spot Lionpaw socialising some ways away by the front of the meeting. And with Hollowpaw, too! Nightshiver smiled, keeping to the meeting's edges, but like the mother she was she tried to catch her children's eye and gave them a little wave (Hollowpaw included). She hoped seeing them all together meant that Lionpaw and Fishpaw set aside their differences.
Positioning her paw back on the ground, mismatched eyes glanced over the gathering cats; she often sat with the young, keeping an eye on them from near the nursery, but this time she sought out a specific father. He must be so proud, too, she was certain of it; his children, his apprentices, they were all growing up so fast. Older paws lifted from the ground to move towards the enforcer commander should she spot him, and greet the tom with a little lick just beneath the side of his ear.
Mushroomkit stepped out of the nursery as Dawnstar's voice rang through the camp. With a skip in her step, she bounded from the threshold and took a moment to just watch the cats around her gathering up for a meeting. It has been lonely the past days and nights in the nursery den. Her mama being gone and no visits from Tinywolf, Mushroomkit was so happy to finally be able to share a den with Adderpaw again! Speaking of.
The russet feline made her way to the apprentice den, ducking her head into the space and looking around for her best friend, "Adderpaw! Adderpaw! There's a meeting! I think it'll be my apprentice ceremony this moon!" Waiting for her friend's appearance, the kitten hopped back to give the other kitten space to leave the den before looking back towards the meeting.
"Come on! Me and Dovekit are so excited, Dove is already up there with the rest of the group!"
Ah, he mustn't be of age yet. Morningpaw shifted, flicking the smaller tom with his tail, grinning slightly. "Well, you'll get there eventually." After a few moments of silence, the tabby apprentice looked up at Dawnstar, flicking his ear, and then back down at Wildkit.
Well, he was better company than most cats. But Shiverpaw and Pinepaw aren't too bad. "Anything interesting happen to you, lately?" Morningpaw asked, sharp amber eyes rather cold, but containing a hint of warmth reserved for friends.
WILDKIT
Shadowclan kit | 4 Moons | Long-furred calico tom with yellow eyes
~~~
Wildkit sure hoped so. He was starting to get antsy in the nursery. Sure, he had some friends, but...
The little calico shook his head out of it and looked up at Morningpaw, grinning. "Uhm... I caught a really cool worm in the mud, yesterday. It was really long! Like, as long as I am!" And with that, he flattened on the ground, stretching his front paws out as far as he could in front of him and straightening his tail behind him. This quickly coated his already bedding-tangled belly fur with the mud and dirt on the ground.

Blackjaw's jaw dropped, an exaggeration of what he actually felt. "Oh you furball," he scoffed, his eyes glittering warmly with mischief. Blackjaw shook his pelt out, the burr falling out at his paws. The tom leaned closer to Mosstangle, enjoying the feeling of her fur against his. He could play it under the guise of the cold, but he just really felt fuzzy and warm next to her.

Mosstangle purred at Blackjaw's scoff, his look of overly dramatic disgust making her chuckle. "Furball? How could you use such insults...!" Mosstangle frowned and turned her face away from him, pouting as she tried not to laugh. She leaned against him back as she felt him move ever so slightly closer, her tail wrapping lightly around her paws.

Nightkit goes to sit with her brother and sister. I hope I don't get a mean mentor. She thought. How awful would that be!

Ashkit purred loudly at his siblings. "Yeah!" He squeaked, leaping to his paws to bounce around with Specklekit. He pranced around Nightkit, tail flicking her side gently as he noticed her stoic calmness. How could anyone be so calm at a time like this! "Oh, this is gonna be great! We're gonna train together, and explore together, and hunt together, and..." Suffice to say, Ashkit was able to list many different things he and his siblings would be doing together as apprentices, the volume of his voice only growing louder and louder.

Meeting time - here goes. If all went well, Stempaw should be becoming a warrior. Though, he could understand if Dawnstar wanted to till next time, with it being late notice and all. Ah, they'd see how it goes. Either way, he was proud of the kid. Who, infact, was sitting right there in the clearing - seemingly worrying over his pelt? "Look who it is." The tom slunk over, tapping him on the shoulder with his tail. He wondered if Stempaw had requested a warrior name, pf if he was leaving that to Dawnstar? Newtbelly hadn't given any input on the topic. He'd expect something like Stemtooth, for the chirpy yet determined cat. Maybe Stemclaw? He did do well in his spar, and there was just something quite spikey about his personality.
Stempaw spun when he heard the familiar voice. Gah! He was so absorbed with his pelt he hadn't heard Newtbelly coming! Still, flustered as he was, he couldn't help a wide and stupidly happy grin. "Heya, teach!" He mewed, a bit of a purr in his voice, rare though it was. "Tryna make sure I look the part for today, just in case...ya know." He mewed timidly, giving his chest a few licks to calm himself down. Although, if I can't get my pelt under control I'll be named something that fits my messy fur! He kinda thought something like...Stemtuft sounded cool. His fur was rough around the edges...and so was he. But honestly, he'd be happy with whatever name he was bestowed by Dawnstar. Just...not claw. So damned common.

Midnight's eyes widen with surprised. She let out a purr of joy. "I honestly see you as a mother figure," the molly admits with a soft smile. "You have been there for me through a lot," she says.
Embercloud purred loudly in response, giving Midnightclaw an affectionate lick on her ear. "That makes me so happy!" She purred, her gaze growing a little sad. "After losing Hickoryeyes...I realize that we never know when our time to join the ancestors will come. A warrior must be prepared for anything." She blinked as she turned her gaze skywards, sending a silent prayer to the stars. Knowing they were there, even if she couldn't see them. "So I just...wanted to make sure you knew." She looked back to them with a warm smile. "Please, never hesitate to come to me with anything." Embercloud purred, touching her nose to Midnightclaw's forehead.
Ah, what a relief! She felt such a weight lift from her shoulders! Ah...oh dear. Embercloud moved to carefully rest in a crouch, sighing with effort. "Ah, please excuse me...I need to lay down a moment." Pretty soon, she'll have to move into the nursery. She probably should've moved into the nest sooner honestly, right after learning of her pregnancy from Sleepysunrise. But she hadn't had the chance to tell her brother and father yet...and moving suddenly felt odd. She hadn't told Midnightclaw yet either, but she wanted to. She wanted...her daughter to know about the upcoming kits. Before they came preferably. "Ah well...it'll probably become clear soon enough anyway even if I don't say anything." She mused aloud, speaking mostly to herself. She looked up at Midnightclaw with a soft smile. "I also wanted to tell you...that I'm expecting kits!" She purred.
"Hickoryeyes and mine." The thought...there was comfort in that. A piece of him will live on, through their kits.
The enby purred at the affection from Embercloud. As the queen laid down, Midnightclaw loafed beside her, a worried expression plastered on her face. Then the news was said. Kits? Her..mother..yes mother..was having kits? They were gonna be a big sibling? The warrior's eyes lit up with excitement, no joy. She felt joy at this news. "Oh mother, I am so happy for you," Midnightclaw meows, fully purring now. Little ones to help watch! Little ones to help with anything, to protect. The warrior was happy and very thrill. Oh she knew her mother would be a great queen. She already was.
(Ahh!!! This is so cute This is making me squeal out loud irl )
