RiverClan Leader's Den

[Cloverspring]

Songwave padded behind Sunheart until they reached the entrance of the den, where he slipped under the lichen and moved to his side, waiting quietly. The tom started his reentry to Riverclan with confidence, through determination for his mate and kits, but his head lowered slightly as he gazed around the rocky den, letting the heft of the situation set in.

He had never been near the leader's den, let alone in it. He always tried his best to just do his duties and get by without notice, but getting captured by those twolegs had finally brought attention to himself in the loudest way possible. He had been brought back into camp after countless sunrises with a ghastly thin frame and unkempt fur for all the clan to see, as well as carrying that wretched twoleg smell on his grey, unkempt pelt. The rest of the clan probably assumed what Sunheart did as well, and he couldn't blame them for that.

The tom's eyes fixed on the claw marks stretching across the wall and let out a small sigh of dread. He wondered if he could even call himself a warrior anymore, if he would even be a warrior anymore. He closed his eyes, but didn't try to force the worries out of his mind. Instead he let them flow freely, tracing them back to their source. 'Almondchatter and our kits will be okay. Riverclan will keep them safe,' he assured, opening his eyes again. Even he wasn't going to be welcomed back, he knew what mattered most.

Seabreeze + Rosemarypaw

|| Decided to do this in character because I wasn't sure if Seab has two or one apprentices already. I know he has Hookpaw, but I think Dragon was asking if Seab could mentor Winterpaw as well and I haven't gotten a response back for that yet. ||

Seabreeze, after having a very almost entirely one-sided check in with Rosemarypaw, decided to nudge the two of them into the leader's den. The apprentice seemed terrified out of his mind, as though Owlstar was a creature of the night rather than his own leader and it made the former lionheart a little concerned about the apprentice's very clear anxiety. Perhaps this conversation would help ease the younger cat's mind about things. Regardless, even though Rosemarypaw was shy around Seabreeze, he wasn't right terrified and seemed to agree to letting Seabreeze take over his training for now.

After not seeing the little guy head out for quite some time and rather was almost always hiding away in some corner of the clearing, the warriors grew concerned enough to ask and learned that Rosemarypaw despite being named a couple moons ago has never actually gotten training of any kind besides kit lessons. Which at least wasn't nothing but after also learning that he's had.... multiple failure mentors, Seabreeze decided he may as well request to take the kid on himself, to make sure the job gets done.

"Owlstar, me and Rosemarypaw are here, wanted to ask you something." After letting the leader know who and the general why, Seabreeze waited for the alright to come in and started to enter the den. Only to look over his shoulder and see that Rosemarypaw seemed frozen right outside rather than following the older tom. Seabreeze gave a sigh and gently moved to nudge the apprentice into the den where the little thing moreso huddled behind the former lionheart rather than readied for a conversation.

"Well uhh, Rosemarypaw was telling me about his lack of training and I learned that his past couple mentors have disappeared on him. I was wondering if I could take him on as my apprentice to finish up his training." Rosemarypaw, without moving from his half buried into Seabreeze's fur position, spoke up just barely over the ambient sound of the clan going about right outside of the leader's den. "I'm sorry.. I uhm.. I would like this, please... sorry.."

Seabreeze frowned, but made sure his face was pointing at the leader and not at the apprentice, he didn't want to cause the white-red feline anymore worry. Though the whole being scared of Owlstar thing was something that would be better to be addressed sooner rather than later. Seabreeze would bring it up while on a territory tour with Rosemarypaw.
