Hickory lets out an indignant huff at the comparison Clay draws, perfecting her face fur's placement, at the very least that has to be tidy. As she swats at him he rolls his eyes, dodging her attack.
"Am not, ma's more fussy than I am, count yourself lucky," He tells her, smoothing her pale pelt, "I've been pickin' at my fur all day, don't ya know how ta clean up?"
He sighs playfully, bopping her nose and laying his tail over Claykit's.
"It's fine though, jus' come ta me before big events, a'ight? I'll getcha all presentable or whatever," He says with a softer expression than he likes to make, that is before he clears his throat and looks away.
That was kinda mushy. Hick is not mushy. The blue tom nods to himself subconsciously as he convinces himself of how not mushy he is, even though his curled tail still rests over his sister's. Sure buddy, whatever helps you sleep at night.
Claykit
|| She/her || 5 Moons ||
"Suuure." Claykit rolled her eyes. Really, he was giving more time of day to her than her mother was recently. Not that she really minded too much. There were plenty of cats who she could give her attention to, and in turn, they can give her some. She grinned as Hickorykit rested his tail on hers. He was so silly with how he displayed his affection. "Just as long as you don't go tryin' it in the middle of trainin'."
Softsky looked up at the sound of her name. An apprentice? Awesome! She thought. She turned to Tigersplash, and smiled, before searching for her apprentice. Sky spotted the young cat, and made a mental note to train after the meeting.
SPIDERPAW
Riverclan Apprentice | 7 moons | Lanky, amber eyed, blue-grey tabby she-cat with white paws, chin, and tail tip.
Heightened perception: Smell
~~~
The young tabby looked and... was that Softsky? Spiderpaw padded over to her new mentor, still stinging from being reassigned. Why did Hollylynx just leave her like that? She wanted to curl up in a ball in her nest, but instead sat beside Softsky and... Tigersplash? She was pretty sure that was the other cat's name. "Hello..." She said as she sat and curled her tail around her tail.
Hopefully Softsky could help her... but, the apprentice was almost done with the basics. That was good.

Softsky smiled at the apprentice. Hello. She mewed gently. Do you want to train after the meeting?

Spiderpaw nodded, not sure if she really was going to get training or not. Maybe they would be able to finish her territory tour or something. That would certainly be nice. She couldn't imagine that they had much remaining on that.
It seemed like Softsky was friendly enough. Hopefully she wouldn't need another mentor.

Ah, that was nice. Duskleaf smiled as Irisdream mentioned getting to spend some time with Kitepaw. She seemed a delightful young cat, she would go far in life. The feeling of Irisdream’s fur against his own gave him a sense of peace and comfort. For most of his life he hadn’t really been interesting in finding a mate, now he couldn’t imagine life without Irisdream. It would just feel so…meaningless, in a way, he felt complete. His purr grew noticeably louder though his eyes opened when she thanked him for being kind to Kitepaw. "Ah sure she’s your daughter, I don’t want her feelin’ excluded just because you have a mate now. An’ ye must be proud of her, she’s turned out well for ye havin’ to raise her on yer own for a good part of her life." He knew Wavebreaker had been Irisdream’s mate before but it must’ve been a good few moons now since he went missing, that must’ve been a good portion of Kitepaw’s life since then. It made him wonder how Irisdream would be as a mother if they did have kits. He was still too nervous to ask that though, not yet.
Taking a look back up at Owlstar, Duskleaf heard Irisdream ask about kits. "Ah yeah kits…" He nodded, still looking up at the leader. Then the realisation hit him. "Kits?!" … "I…I was thinking about that five seconds ago…" He admitted. He did want kits though, that would be really nice. If there was anything he could learn from Reedclaw, it was his fathering skills. But something about the whole thing didn’t feel real. The idea of becoming a father one day, it always seemed so distant to him, now not only was it possible, but it would be in the not-so-distant future. He wasn’t sure if you could ever be ready for such a thing, but after thinking it through for a few moments, he finally answered. "I…I’d love for us to have kits." A soft purr rose in his throat as he gently nuzzled into Irisdream’s neck. "A-and I promise you this…if we do, I’ll make sure Kitepaw feels included as well, she may not be my daughter but I’ll never make her feel excluded."
No Streamkit? Alright, at least the bulk of them had shown up. The leader squared her shoulders and observed the cats, watching as Larkwing cautiously ushered over the last of her kin. Owlstar's tail tip twitched, briefly catching the end of Duskleaf and Irisdream's conversation. Ah, kits, like this clan needed anymore of those. She was kidding! Clearly! Anyways, Owlstar didn't comment on it, it wasn't exactly her's to comment on. All these cats could enjoy their little romances while she tried to pick apart Larkwing's urgent, almost pleading expression.
Her brows furrowed. Not in anger nor frustration, but merely confusion. Puzzling herself over Larkwing's oddly plastered smile. She wouldn't press the warrior on it however. She just hoped she was doing alright.
The leader smiled softly, adjusting her gaze to the small furry bodies below her. "Ah yes. Look at the lot'a ya." she teased lightly, slowly lifting her head to address the crowd. "From this moment on, ya'll be known as Cherrypaw, Fernpaw, Faithpaw, Claypaw, Hickorypaw, n' Sprucepaw. Cherrypaw ta Moonpelt, Fernpaw Whisperingdusk, Faithpaw ta Floodsight, Claypaw ta Sunnyspots, Hickorypaw ta Woodpelt, n' Sprucepaw find Skullbrook." she stood from her seated position, lifting her head in a high yowl. "Cherrypaw! Fernpaw! Faithpaw! Claypaw! Hickorypaw! Sprucepaw!"
She waited for the clan to chime in unison, her grin toothy and wide. It was always nice, seeing her clan grow and prosper like it was supposed to. Speaking of, she had warriors to establish as well. As the cheering faded, Owlstar piped back up. "Rav--- Rainpaw? Oh for stars... Rainpaw, Ravenpaw," she didn't bother looking at them directly, she knew she'd confuse them. "n' Talonpaw."
"While we wait fer the apprentices, Primroseadder has given birth recently ta five kits. Stormkit, Owlkit, Cypresskit, Brightkit, n' Fallowkit." it still choked her up, the fact that Stormstar had a kit named after her. She was sure her friend had to have been proud, stars knew that she was proud of her. In addition, one of those kits also shared her namesake. It was a tearjerker, that's for sure. The leader blinked slowly, trying to hide the shift in her expression. "Welcome 'em kindly, n' thank Starclan fer their successful birth."
Ceremony time! Your apprentice has 24 HOURS to respond or they won't be promoted! If you'd like, you may mention me in your reply post.
Star looked up at Owlstar in wonder, tail tip twitching. The small she-kit blinked pale, washed out blue eyes as the ceremonies went on. Wow, so many kits becoming apprentices... But why warriors? Didn't anybody want to be Medicine Cats..? Well, it was Berryshine's choice, when she picked an apprentice.. Maybe she'd be chosen, one day. Nightkit smiled softly. One day.
When the rest of the clan started cheering, the inky black she looked around in slight confusion for a second. Soon, understanding dawned on her features, eyes widening and white eye patch crinkling, little star-like speckles on her other side shifting as she moved. "Cherrypaw! F-fernp-paw! Hickorypaw! Sp-sprucepaw! Claypaw! Faithpaw!" Wow... Faithpaw was such a cool name. The kit really liked that.. Maybe she'd go talk to her one day. When she had the courage.
Stormwish watched with a proud smile. None of them were their kits, but it was only a matter of time. Still, the white queen flicked her fluffy tail, deep blue eyes taking in the kits. Their kits were sitting inside of their curled tail, watching with wide eyes. "It's cool isn't it, my darlings?" They whispered, black teardrop patterns shifting as they moved to bend down slightly. "One day, that'll be you." And they would cheer for them until their voice went hoarse and their throat stung. Storm was already so, so proud of their kits.
When it time for ceremonies, they grinned light-heartedly and cheered as loud as the others in the clan. "Cherrypaw! Fernpaw! Faithpaw! Claypaw! Hickorypaw! Sprucepaw!" The white and black queen yowled, clapping their fluffy paws together.
Cypresskit watched in awe as the newly named apprentices were called up, icy blue eyes wide. "Wow.. I can't wait un'il that's me up there! Ay Ma, tha'll be me and ma sibs soon?" The rosetted kit asked her mother, looking up at Primroseadder. She turned back almost right after, facing Owlstar, and happily yowled out the names with the rest of the clan, her voice surprisingly loud for a kit. "Cherrypaw! Fer'paw! Claypaw! 'ickorypaw! Sprucepaw!" Cypresskit called, jumping up and down. Only after that did she realise that she had just called out Clay..paw. OMG, Aunty Claykit was now Aunty Claypaw! "Yeahhhh!!! Go Aun'y Claypaww!!" She screeched enthusiastically.
When Owlstar mentioned her and her siblings, Cypresskit's eyes went even wider, if that was possible. She immediately stopped jumping around and sat down, pale brown and white coat receiving a quick lick before she looked up again. The rosetted tabby sat there primly, chest puffed out slightly, looking around importantly. Inside, she was absolutely screaming. Like, HOORAYYY! I HAVE BEEN NOTICED! She whispered quietly to Primroseadder, "They're still lookin' a' us, ma.."

"Cherrypaw! Fernpaw! Faithpaw! Claypaw! Hickorypaw! Sprucepaw!" Spiderpaw chanted with the clan. New apprentices! A lot of new apprentices... Oh, goodness, the apprentice den was going to be even more packed! Well, as long as no one approached her the same way as Foxpaw had, she guessed it would be fine. Maybe one of them would be her future friend.
It seemed like Owlstar was having some difficulty saying Ravenpaw and Rainpaw... She looked around. She hadn't met those two... Or Talonpaw, for that matter. She wondered what their warrior names would be.
Oh, so that was where Primroseadder had been. She had kits! Spiderpaw tilted her head. So many... For the first time, she started to wonder if she even wanted kits of her own... What an odd thought.

~~~ she managed to wiggle her way out of the nursery to listen to the announcements, she heard new apprentice and she squealed out happily "Cherrypaw! fernPaw! FaithPaw! ClayPaw! HickoryPaw! and SprucePaw!" she bounced with each name she called, her cloudy eyes wide as she was very excited. ~~~
