Thunderbird Cavern

Mallowswarm

Mallowswarm had been grooming herself, but she raised her head as Mudhound's call echoed through camp. They were taking ThunderClan to the new piece of territory, the cave that they and Wolfhive had found back when the latter was alive. Thunderbird Cavern. Bumblebreak had told the clan about it, in the meeting before the first otter patrol had gone out (stars, that felt like so long ago- what had it been, two moons? Less?), but the expedition that had been promised had been delayed by everything that had happened since then. It seemed like Mudhound was fixing that.

She hadn't expected the Hornet to seem so excited about the trip. She had expected it to be more solemn, considering the landmark's connection to Wolfhive, but then, from what she knew of Mudhound they tended to be a cheerful cat. She had witnessed a different side of them when her mentor passed, but it seemed they had moved on, or at least they weren't wallowing in the grief. Although what did she know? Some cats were incredibly good at masking their emotions, a skill Mallowswarm had never managed to learn.

She gave her fur a few last licks to smooth it down and stood up to join the slowly gathering crowd. As she waited, her gaze caught on an apprentice, eyes locked on Alpinemoon as her chest heaved. Mallowswarm was no expert at reading emotions, but she could see the distress on the younger cat's face. For a few moments she hesitated- she didn't know how to help cats, to comfort them, she was useless when it came to this- but then the thought of her mentor came to mind. One of the many things she had admired about Wolfhive was his ability to comfort others, the way he always noticed if an apprentice was struggling and helped them. She wanted to follow in his pawsteps, didn't she? Mallowswarm swallowed, steeling herself, before walking over to the apprentice. "Uh, hi," she started, shifting uncomfortably from paw to paw. What was she supposed to say? "Uh, I couldn't help noticing- um, are you okay?"

The Bengal would slink from the darkness of the Medicine Cat Den. Her fur was rather ruffled, for what reason? No one would really know. Even Treetiger wasn't sure. It was hard to know what was going on in that den these days, allowing cats to come and go as they pleased and apparently letting Mudhound take herbs and break the typical traditions of grounding all the injured.

Instead, Treetiger stood idly near Mudhound, ready to step in and catch them if they stumbled. Them or the duo that they INSISTED on bringing along. They wanted to do that? Fine. But not without her. Not when her status was under the tense gaze of the entire clan and the mercy of Bumblebreak's claws.

While she awaited the instructions, her eyes and head lolled around, avoiding stares, avoiding her clanmates. She wanted to pretend she wasn't here, but unfortunately, her anxiety knew otherwise. Her gaze would flitter towards the shadows of the camp, looking out for a familiar silhouette of her closest friend. Hopefully they'd tag along too.

The large warrior would tag along for this, of course! It'd been a while since the territory had a new location, so of course he'd come along for the excitement aspect if nothing else. His gaze would shift to see which of his children were coming along, now that they were all apprentices. Surely, they'd tag along to this.

If needed, he'd prod Frogpaw and sign to him about the excitement going on. He'd even mouth the statements so hopefully his son would start picking up lip reading, it would make his life so much easier. He'd gone missing for some time, so it'd be rough to get him started on communication. Whether Frogpaw wanted to come along or not, was up to him.

An exploration mission? That sounded fun! Of course she wanted to get out of camp and explore a bit. She looked around, before heading over to another apprentice. It was weird that he was wet, it hadn't been raining recently. There had to be a story behind that, but it could wait. "Hey! What do you think it'll be like there?"
