Bye, FogPaw!

Eveningpaw stepped into the den, flicking her tail. It was weird being in here. She was 19 moons old and a new apprentice. She still smelled faintly of Skyclan, due to living in some old Skyclan territory for moons after she left Skyclan, but here she was a Riverclan apprentice. She was sad to know all her friends were gone, but she didn’t really whine much about it.

Flyfur carefully padded into the apprentice's den, trying to get used to having to track her gaggle of kittens now that they were apprentices and never usually in the same place at the same time. She thought she saw Gingerpaw dart in here just a few moments ago. "Gingerpaw?" She called.

Gingerpaw lay in a nest to the side of the den, his head lifting up from his paws as he heard his name being called in a familiar voice. It didn't take long for him to push himself to his paws and make his way to her, looking lazy as ever. "Flyfur" he mew as a way of greeting when he sat down by her. He wouldn't show it but was secretly somewhat gald she had come to see him, apprentice life was exhausting and it was pleasing to see trusted face.

Lilytail stuck her head inside the den, not wanting to disturb anyone inside it. “Tinypaw, you there?” She called softly. “We have training to do.” She backed out of the den, waiting for him. She took a moment to smooth out her fur. She couldn't let her apprentice see her ungroomed.

A purr rumbled through her and she gave a brief lick to his cheek. "How's life as an apprentice been treating you? Are the nesting arrangements as dreadful as you thought?" She grinned, remembering when they had spoken about how crowded it was.

His ears twitched. Petuniapaw seemed rather jovial about having someone to talk to. Silently he wondered if she got ignored most of the day. Shifting in his nest, he fully turned his attention to her, trying to look as interested and polite as possible. "Yeah? How was the training? I bet those flowers are pretty neat, I'd like to see them." He stretched a little, grunting as he did so. "I finished my warrior assessment today."

She nodded. "They are! I've found blue, yellow, white and purple ones so far. And colorful pebbles!" Petuniapaw explained. The young molly loved to collect them, they were so cute. "Oh, training was fun. Mister Ms. Sassyfire taught me how to fish." The ginger and white tabby patched apprentice explained. "Wow, your gonna be a warrior soon! Congratulations Goosepaw!" Patuniapaw called in amazement. One of her den mates getting promoted to warrior was always amazing.

"worse" he answered with a flick of his tail- it was absolutely awful! Some of the nests were so close to eachother that sometimes another cat's tail tresspased to another nest when they were sleeping, and it was almost impossible to go outside during night time without risking to wake up another cat.. Well maybe that was a little exaggerated, but still "much much worse"

"so.. have you gonne back to warrior duties?" he eventually asked with a low grumble. If she did, it would most likely mean she'd have to partake in that raid- and he didn't like the thought of that. @Rainquail

Flyfur cringed and looked around. Yikes!
"If it becomes too much for you, I wouldn't mind making up a nest for you in the nursery or expanding my own for you. At least there's some space there." Perhaps some of the older apprentices should be moved to the elders den until expansions were made.

"I have returned to my duties," she mewed, sensing his unease, but entirely unsure about how to address it until further mention.

"perhaps" Gingerpaw said as he glanced back to the nests- the den looked crowded even with barely any cats in it.
He nodded as she answered his question. It was... somewhat logical, but that couldn't help the fact that he wasn't so fond of it, couldn't she have waited until after the raid? He narrowed his eyes and with a flick of his tail averted his gaze to the side as he lowered his head "don't go out dying" he muttered under his breath, slight irritation rising. His words were perhaps strange, but to him they meant 'be careful'.
