Lionpaw - The Perfect
RiverClan | Apprentice | He/Him | 5 moons | 72/100

Lionpaw stared up at Minkkit with a bored and tired expression, his head cocked awkwardly and strained as she waved a butterfly in his face. She had leaned in uncomfortably close, declaring that the butterfly she held was actually the dead fly from the nursery. Lionpaw leaned back, at the same time rolling over onto his stomach so he didn't have to strain to look up at her. He brought his stare to the butterfly, furrowing his brows and tilting his golden head in quiet contemplation. Then he pulled his face into an incredulous frown. It was his mistake for expecting her to take this seriously. This sounded like another one of her superstitious mutterings. The dead don't just come back and, if they did, it surely wouldn't be as something else.

He had half a mind to question her on the matter but resolved to say nothing. He truly wanted to know what happened to her that day, even if it meant humoring her silly fantasies for a second time. So, the golden apprentice kept his mouth shut, frown giving way to confusion as he listened to Minkkit's choppy recollection of events. Her words, of course, were just as confusing as she was. What did she mean by a furry brown thing? And what was this about the sun burning her eyes? Of course the sun burns, it's a burning ball of... well, yellow! That's why you're not meant to look at it! Lionpaw followed her gaze to the clouds. They still looked heavy and dark despite the deluge they had hurled down just a moment ago. Her expression seemed fearful as if she expected the sun to reveal itself and glare at her with angry eyes.

He hesitated before answering, unsure of what to make of her... story. It was hard to decipher what she was saying, and if she was even telling the truth or just recalling a dream or hallucination. Actually, that's probably what this all was. After slipping into the river she must have gone unconscious and had some sort of fever dream about a furry brown thing-- most likely a squirrel-- attacking her eyes and then when she woke up believed that the sun hated her. It was still crazy to think about, but in Minkkit's case, it definitely made sense... at least to him.

He would never admit this out loud, but he did feel a little sorry for the ghostly kit. Sorry in a sense that there was nothing he could do to fix that strange little head of hers. He had no intent to quell her fears though, too stubborn and proud to confess that he cared about any cat other than himself. Still, it must have been terrifying for her to slip into that raging river, only to be met with nightmares and delusions of a hateful sun and... squirrels.

He tutted at her before finally opening his yellow maw to speak, "That sounds... weird, but whatever. Of course, I shouldn't have expected you to answer like a normal cat. You really need to get that head of yours checked out," he rolled his eyes, and then himself as he turned his back on her once more. He curled in on himself, tucking his head and closing his eyes. "Now leave me alone. In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm tired and don't have the patience to pretend like I care about you anymore..."

His words felt harsher than he'd intended, but he made no effort to rephrase them. Instead, he scrunched himself tighter and smaller, hoping to become invisible to Minkkit, or at the very least hope she'd take the hint and leave. He hated feeling guilty for things he had no responsibility for... or he'd like to believe he had none in this case. Again, it was her fault-- not his!-- that she took his words literally. So he definitely didn't feel guilty about this at all!

Moonkit

The young kit began to slowly trot, sniffing and looking around. “Maybe we can find something to do with the big kits….or maybe do you know something we can do?” She asked in a soft tone.

Dapplewing
Riverclan
He/Him

Dapplewing had offered himself up to be one of the clan’s guards for the time being, so he was sat off towards the outskirts of the area that the clan currently resided in. He watched as the his clanmates headed off to battle Thunderclan, and he couldn’t help but sigh. Under any usual circumstances, he would have followed–but these weren’t usual circumstances by any means. The entire clan was so vulnerable right now, and he couldn’t leave everyone who was sitting out in open, unknown territory. He just.. Couldn’t. There were kits, apprentices without battle training, queens… He couldn’t leave them.

So, he stayed. With a sigh, he shook his head to himself–of course, Thunderclan would decide now was the time to try and grab some of their territory. Not that they could’ve known about their current predicament, though.. Right?

The tom shook his head yet again, trying to force those thoughts out of his head. Instead, he shifted his attention to something else–oh, there was his apprentice! “Silverpaw!”

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Skies, he was tired. Too tired to deal with all this, too tired to think clearly. But he had to. He'd made a wrong call, it was his job to take responsibility. He'd made another mistake, taking that battle patrol to Cattail Pond, letting Beanstar come along when he knew he was injured -- even if the leader would have come regardless, had his words been true, he should have said something. Anything. But it was too late now. Dragging Beanstar's limp body into the small clearing the clan had been residing in, Gingerfrost carefully lay the body on the ground, taking a few steps back. He was silent for a few moments allowing the clan time to recognise the body, to take notice of what had happened. Was he supposed to feel sad? Remorseful? His expression of stone, Gingerfrost didn't know how he felt. All he knew is that he had to announce this to the clan. It was time.

"RiverClan!"
He called over the crowd of cats; some resting, some guarding, some wide awake. This was something for all to hear, for all to see. Everyone needed to know.

"Beanstar is Dead. We lost Cattail Pond to ThunderClan."

He let the information sink, pausing a brief moment before remembering that, as far as the clan was aware, the leader had nine lives. But he didn't. He took a breath, going further into detail.
"ThunderClan was at Cattail Pond, we went to intercept them. But before anything, Bumblestar killed Beanstar.
...He won't be coming back. He never received his lives from StarClan.
I take full responsibility for what happened. I'm sorry."

Somewhere he wondered how the clan would react. Would he receive backlash for trying to save Cattail Pond from ThunderClan? Would they be understanding? Would they mourn the leader's loss? Would the clan come to realise Beanstar lied about losing a life to Twilightstar? The questions swirled in his mind as he watched his clanmates for their reaction, a small lump forming in his throat.

But no, he swallowed it down, raising his head. Whatever happened, he would face it. Liar or not, every cat had a right to mourn the leader's loss in their own way. All he could do is wait and see how they react, and act accordingly. He wasn't going to step away from his duties again. Not this time.

Frecklepaw felt his ears press flat against his head. His tail flicked anxiously.

"Oh..oh no.." he muttered.

She may be injured, but she heard the call… She immediately made her way over. She limped over and stood beside GingerFrost. “First of all… Mentally, are you going to be okay? As a Lionheart I am expected to help. Is there anything I can do to assist with this…? I wasn’t particularly close to bean… sprout… but I’m sure you must’ve been. Take all the time you need, please. I’m sure I or one of the other lion hearts can take care of things while you process…” Honestly, PebbleSplash wasn’t even surprised, which honestly wasn’t even the worst part… Honestly, she didn’t feel… Sad. I mean, she wasn’t happy to hear he was dead, but she didn’t feel grief like others would… This lack of emotion within her made her quite capable to take charge…

Bluefang came over with two mice. "Hello, Gingerfrost. Rainypaw never really came with me. I have these two mice and that's it." He said.
