"Okay, kitto! Stay safe please..." he sighed. This was his fault. But maybe he could fix it?

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Out of the corner of his eye, Kestrelstar caught sight of Fawnspring and Lionheart... hugging, or something similar. Part of him wanted to roll his eyes in annoyance, knowing full well that the tom was just trying to save face. If the large tomcat thought it would evade him from punishment or at least a stern talking to he was certainly wrong. Threatening to leave scars on an apprentice? Absolutely not. The only reason Kestrelstar was not addressing it now was because he wanted to keep the meeting moving, but it would not be forgotten.

Another flick of his ear acknowledged the conversation going on between Horsepaw and Spottedpaw. Did these cats not know when to be quiet and respectfully watch the meeting?? Irritation simmered underneath Kestrelstar's fur but again he said nothing, instead keeping his focus on Petuniafire. She had worked hard for this moment, and Lizardfrost had done an excellent job with her assessment from what he'd heard.

"I, Kestrelstar, leader of RiverClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. She has trained hard to under stand the ways of our code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Petuniapaw [ @Angelique ], do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?" As he spoke the words, another ceremony flashed before him; Petuniaflame. One of the first kind souls who approached him and spoke to him, despite his cold exterior.

A brief flash of grief shot through his gaze, and misty wetness overcame his sight. But Kestrelstar smiled encouragingly towards Petuniapaw, nodding once for encouragement.

Feeling a lot more confident with the proud looks she was getting from the cats she knew. It did feel weird though. Did they respect her or something. Well she wasn't anything like her father. She was very reserved just like her mother. She looked around before spotting her mother watching from behind. Prode showed in her face.

Well these cats were waiting too long she looked back at Kestrelstar. This sure was exciting. "I promise from the bottom of my heart to protect my home until the day I join starclans rank.", she purred. It sohnded far better than the normal words most apprentices said. She wanted to do something just a tiny bit more.

Pebblepaw looked at her fellow apprentice, excitedly waiting for her to become a warrior, like they all wanted.

brindlefeather was horrified to find out that they had been late to the meeting, walking into camp after a short walk in the territory. they felt even more horrified to hear that - aaa! they were getting another apprentice! and they had .. ferocity?? according to kestrelstar, it was something he was hoping(?) would be passed down to russetpaw. i mean..i guess ferocity is a good thing if kestrelstar thinks it needs to be passed down? it thought. it hoped so.

searching the crowd for russetpaw, the large torbie strolled towards her, teetering the last few steps. luckily, it had gone through this process before, so it wasn’t that bad..yet. ”hello, ru-ussetpaw!! i’ll be your mentor, just like kestrelstar said..i actually have another apprentice, spicepaw - so you might train with her..in the future, uhm..” it hadn’t started so bad, unlike last time, in their mind at least. it was going pretty good!! y’know, until it’s brain started malfunctioning and it momentarily lost the ability to properly think.

mentally groaning at that, the warrior leaned down to touch noses with the newly made apprentice. ”sorry, just had to do that, i think..- anyways! it’s too cold for swimming..if that wasn’t obvious.” they said, gesturing at the thick layers of snow that still covered the ground. ”so we can start with land hunting or battle training, since i…don’t think? you will want your paws to freeze from water hunting? either’s fine with me. but uhh. we’ll have to start after the meeting.” it murmured, letting its eyes finally fall to the ground as it sat down. hopefully that wasn’t as mentally painful for russetpaw as it was for brindlefeather.

Russetpaw was proud of herself. She had made it this far which meant that she could make it farther. But she didn’t smile. With every good thought she had a bad one would come. Nobody else was proud of her. She didn’t have any friends. Any family. She was alone. For a second she felt like she was the only one left in the world. She only heard faint noise not any clear sound. Until she noticed somebody was talking to her. They made her jump and the. Explained that they were her mentor. They seemed nervous, great she had a nervous mentor. Though it wasn’t like she wasn’t sad or anxious all the time she was just better at hiding it. And she didn’t have a mentor that could hid it. But maybe they would be better at teaching then social interactions? They better be! Huntings fine. Though your the mentor arnt you supposed to chose? she asked in a slightly snarky tone. This would be a long day or… a long few moons.

Cloverpaw was wondering where Flintstrike, her mentor was, so trying to get Flintstrike's attention, she called, "FLINTSTRIKE, GATHER HERE WITH THE GREAT CLOVERPAW" She just wanted to find her mentor, that was all

The oriental's glare faded away as Fawnspring stormed in, biting insults at Lionheart rightfully so. His attention was immediately diverted, ears perking up with keen interest as the warrior went off. Wormbite did his best to pinpoint where the tom stood, his eyes gleaming with warmth as he spoke. He was glad to see Fawnspring had healed and his spirit hadn't died down a bit. He shifted with his paws, nodding agreement to ignore the heat rising from his fur. Mhm, mhm, whatever he was saying he was agreeing. He listened to him comfort the kit and resisted to smile at the soft moment.

His attention diverged at the sudden gush of wind when Shimmerbird turned around to face him. Wormbite slowly turned his head to face her, cloudy eyes staring at her blankly. Uh. Huh. He wasn't suspected to be found out. He thought he was doing well at this. Slowly, hesitantly, he reached a paw up to aim to rest it on her shoulder. "..Good job, " Wormbite mewed, wow. He quickly retracted his paw if it succeeded, scooting back awkwardly.

Hearing the threat loud and clear the apprentice stood there. she didn't cower down and she showed no signs of being scared. This cat was just a bully and she hated bullies. Wanting to argue with the tom she opened her mouth to speak when a warrior spoke up for her. What? She could speak up for herself. Not that she didn't appreciate it. She really did, but she was brave enough. It seemed there was enough drama for what her new mentor said, so she just let it go.

Pondpaw settled down beside Shimmerbird, keeping her head up and her emotions hidden. Flickering her ear she heard Kestrelstar speak up and reassign her to the cat that had helped her. She just gave a triumph glare to Lionheart before looking up at Shimmerbird. Looked like they were going to be training together. Pondpaw dipped her head to her new mentor., seeing she was a bit upset. "Hey its going to be alright. He dealt with that nasty warrior. Plus I'm alright!", she muttered quietly, so only she could hear. She then cast a look to Icekit with a dip of her head to show her respect. Such a young kit had earned it from her.

// @NinjaBloss; [ @Hopeless; @Quackers; you two don't have to respond your characters were just mentioned]

Shimmerbird stood frozen as Wormbite slowly raised a paw towards her, unsure of his intentions, but not expecting what he said next. He thought she had done... a good job? A shy smile spread across her face and a warm feeling wormed its way into her stomach. She looked up to Wormbite and the fact that he had thought she'd done a good job made her happy. "T-thank you," she murmured softly, before turning her attention to her new apprentice.

"Thank you, Pondpaw. I'm glad you're alright, a warrior should never threaten physical harm against another Clanmate," the molly said softly as she watched the meeting proceed with attentive eyes. It seemed that the whole ordeal with Lionheart was over, which was good. She didn't want any more chaos at this meeting, or any meeting for that matter. Couldn't they just have a peaceful one for once?!

[stardust.]

Cloverpaw was furious, her mentor didn't appear, "FLINTSTRIKE IF YOU DON'T APPEAR RIGHT THIS SECOND THEN"She paused, letting her anger calm down"I am very.. very sorry for interrupting the meeting Kestrelstar"

[ @SourCream ]

Flintstrike heard his name called, more of screamed, by Cloverpaw. He got out of the warrior's den, narrowing his eyes. "What is wrong Cloverpaw? I'm sure the clan is able to continue on with me not attending one meeting," he meowed gruffly. "Don't do that again. I'm an old cat, y'know, Ive got to relax a little."

[stardust.]

(Cloverpaw)

Now she felt depressed, "I.. i know.." She mewed sadly
