cobwebpaw followed fadingsun happily before noticing!! stickpaw!!! she bounced over. ' hi!! i would love to walk with you! ' she was the cat embodiment of the :] emoticon, grinning happily. the warmth in her chest that swirled around when she was with stickpaw felt stronger now.
' it's okay! ' cobwebpaw took the smallest vole she could find from the prey pile, eating it in two quick swallows.

A picnic? Padding over slowly Dusklion took a moment to observe her brother on the Floodstone - stars, she hated that name - before letting her gaze drop down to one of the cats who seemed to be standing alone. She wasn't entirely sure still about her place among the Clan, what they thought of her (she tried to act like it didn't bother her), but maybe Fades' apprentice was still a friendly face?
"Hey, Wings," she quipped as she trotted up to stand beside him - she hadn't grabbed anything from the fresh-kill pile since it was a bit low, and figured she would just hunt there when she could. "You ever been out to the springs before?" Her tail waved back and forth absentmindedly behind her as she attempted a grin towards the younger apprentice.

Eaglepaw glanced up when Dusklion approached, her green gaze flashing warily for the briefest of moments before lightening with familiarity. Surely it wouldn't hurt to chat a bit, right? Maybe ensure Dusklion actually liked her...? A beaming smile lit up the young molly's face. "Oh, Fadingsun briefly took me there for me territory tour, but I 'aven't gone to it since!" Her big paws kneaded the ground, her blackbird resting at her paws. "I'm super super excited though, I think everything's been so stressful recently that I 'aven't had the chance to actually enjoy Newleaf!!" She swayed happily, even as Fadingsun's voice called out for the group to move out.
As they walked, Eaglepaw tried speaking around her blackbird. "I 'ike the 'armth o' the season!" She meowed, sticking close to Dusklion. "'oo knew the 'un could ac'ually 'e 'arm!!"
Once they reached the springs, Eaglepaw wasted no time increasing her pace so she could get a nice spot near one of the warm springs. Dropping her bird, Eaglepaw let out a little shriek of delight, dipping a big white paw into the water and jerking it out, shaking it a few times. She twisted to see if Dusklion was still behind her. "It's so warm!!" She cried, eyes sparkling.
Re: chilling by the water [rc picnic event! open to all!]
Duskleaf had a walk around Haven Springs, listening to the sound of the water which he found very relaxing, he found a spot near one of the hot springs where he could feel the heat coming from it, and sat down there. The sun may not have been especially warm, but the heat rising from the springs was. This was the life, no duties or responsibilities, of course Duskleaf liked those things, but there needs to be some time to just relax as well. The sound of the water rushing was music to his ears, it was peaceful and soothing.
(Any cat can come over to say hi if they want, Duskleaf’s pretty chill, he won’t bite XD)

The apprentice followed along with the crowd as Fadingsun leads them into the haven springs. As they arrived, they looked around the area. Still as nice as the last time they went there. Last time they went there? It was for a patrol, wasn't it? The one with Winterpaw and two other cats? Speaking of Winterpaw, Sunsetpaw didn't really notice him anywhere now that the crowd had moved to the springs. If he did come to the event, maybe they could've talked to him once more. Some things just seem a little bit...concerning. He could use a little break..or...would that not help at all..? There's still a chance for him to get better, and Sunsetpaw wants to make sure of that but with the way he already thinks of them...doubt it'll be easy even getting to him. Maybe they should focus on the event happening at the moment. But it's just that they can't help but wonder about it. Right..they should try to focus on relaxing and trying to socialize. And hunting. Hm...would they be able to catch any birds here?
Their ears perked up at another cat's voice, head turning instinctively. Oh! That was Seabreeze, right? Yea, they remembered him! They waved back at the Lionheart "Hello! Of course, i don't mind hunting with you at all! And...uh..you really don't need to apologize for that! It's alright!" they mewed, in an upbeat and cheerful tone, one they had mostly spoken with when they're talking to others. They've never tried catching any birds, have they? At least that's what they remembered. So trying to catch one'll be quite the new experience! Hm..it seems harder. Since birds have wings, then that must mean they could go anywhere they want quickly. Soaring through the skies with feathered wings seems like a fun experience. Maybe a little scary. Do they have limits to the places they could go..? Like how the clans have borders and cats can't tresspass through them..? It seems like one more question added to the pile of things they could never get the answer to
Seabreeze
He/him | Riverclan Lionheart | Moons: 17 | Purrks: Go with the Flow | The Collector | Ultimate Predator |
“Ocean waters rising above your neck
You feel the glass start to crack.”
Seabreeze smiled as the apprentice didn’t seem to mind the mess that he was. He motioned with a paw for Sunsetpaw to follow as they broke away from the group, prey wasn’t likely to be so close to such a big group of cats after all. Or at least, any that was smart. Birds tend to skitter more than the slower prey, in Seabreeze’s opinion birds weren’t worth the effort. They are a pain to catch and then when you eat them you get more feathers than food. Even so he caught them because they were prey and he wasn’t really that picky when it came down to it, besides he knows that someone in the clan must prefer them. He wasn’t sure how the apprentice felt about catching them though, they weren’t uncommon, but training tends to hit land prey and fishing before anything, if any at all, about catching birds. “I’m not the best at catching birds, but if you need any help, I am more than happy to try giving some advice.” The lionheart offered before turning his attention to the world around the pair in search of some prey.
[ D20: 12 | Shaky pass ] Seabreeze almost missed it, but the sound of nearby fluttering caught his attention and he motioned towards the sound noiselessly, so the apprentice could try for it first. Seabreeze wanted to give them a chance before himself. If they didn’t want to go first then Seabreeze could go ahead.
The apprentice followed him closely behind him. What type of birds could be at the Havensprings? Lionsbeach probably had gulls, if they would guess. It just makes sense. It came to their mind that they haven't really seen too much birds. Maybe because they don't really go to the territory a lot other tha for patrols. The warriors seem to be doing their own things and honestly, Sunsetpaw didn't want to interupt them too much. And also...well...they didn't really know what way they should take the approach. "I'll keep that in mind They replied, nodding to the Lionheart's words. Even if he's not the best at catching birds, he's at least more experience and would most likely know what to do. Alright, time to make the attempt
[Rolled 18 16 | -2 due to it being their first time - Success, against all odds]
The apprentice did hear it too, and the bird became more obvious when Seabreeze motioned towards it. Right, this must be their chance. With a silent nod, they went ahead and dropped low. Paws crept forward on the ground. The bird seemed to be minding it's own business. Wonder what it's doing. Oh wait, now's not the time to be thinking that. 3..2..1..sorry, birdy. They leaped forward, claws landing on it's back. The bird squacked as they had their grip on it. Their jaws closed down at the bird's neck. And...that's...it, essentially. The tabby released the bird as it finally went lifeless. Once again, sorry "...is..that how you do it?" they asked, turning towards Seabreeze

Seabreeze
He/him | Riverclan Lionheart | Moons: 17 | Purrks: Go with the Flow | The Collector | Ultimate Predator |
“Ocean waters rising above your neck
You feel the glass start to crack.”
Seabreeze watched as the apprentice was able to catch the bird in just one try, and made it look incredibly easy as well. Hmm, that was not what happened on Seabreeze’s first time and even now he struggled with the feathery feinds. Though after blinking a couple of times out of his stupor the lionheart was quick to offer an answer, “Yeah, exactly like that! You’re a natural, much better than me one hundred percent. The tricky part usually comes when they try to lift off but you landed right on it! Nicely done.” The lionheart hoped that sufficed he was still a bit shocked by the display but now it was time for him to catch his own meal which he really hoped wouldn’t be a bird simply because he could hardly tolerate the feathers, fish was much better on every front, and Seabreeze would die on that hill.
[ D20: 19 | Pass ] Seabreeze was swift to find another creature scrambling through Haven Springs and he was quick to drop low. Please don’t be a bird, please don’t be a bird, please don’t be a bird… poking through some reeds his blue eyes zeroed in on a sizable lizard, skittering across a log before coming to an abrupt stop. Hmmm, he would prefer a lizard over a bird. Seabreeze wouldn’ve caught it anyways but he was silently cheering that it wasn’t, in fact, a bird. [ D20: 19 | pass ] Seabreeze crept forward on even paws, his ears pinned as the reeds slowly shifted as his body pressed by but never enough to startle off the creature. Then with a spring, Seabreeze pounced forward, slamming his paws, claws digging into the scales. The creature attempted to scramble but Seabreeze swiftly killed it with a bite. That was simple enough. He padded back to Sunsetpaw. He set the lizard down on his paws to speak, “I think that’s good, unless you want to go for more?”

Silkwisp
Riverclan warrior
Silkwisp kept up a fast pace as she followed her clanmates through the territory and towards Haven Springs. This was gonna be so fun! They would just chill and eat and she could hunt- oh? What was this? Someone wanted to hunt with her? A large grin formed on the tall she-cat's maw at Roseshard's request. "Sure, dude!" she was always open to being accompanied in her hunting!
Swishing her silky tail breezily, the warrior give a little jerk of her head. "C'mon, man, let's find some food!" Padding off, she rounded the hot springs in a much more stealthier manner. She was on the look out for lizards and she figured that they would be warming on the outskirts of the pools yet also basking in the shade as to not overheat. Though, she didn't have the most expertise in hunting reptiles.
Turquoise orbs soon landing on a scaly shape, laying unmoving in the shadows, a sneaky smile tugged at Silk's lips. Immediately lowering into a hunting crouch a few fox-lengths away, she gave a sharp flick of her tail tip as a signal to Roseshard. She planned on her clanmate circling to the other side of the lizard so he could scare it right into her paws! This plan couldn't fail, could it?

Dude?
Roseshard hid a frown at such an informal term. Herringclaw would never...
But Herringclaw wasn't here now. A small smile turned his lip as he padded beside Silkwhisp. Dude.
Sure, he could use that word.
Scenting the air, the russet-and-black tabby could pick out a pawful of different prey scents. He was just singling one out to catch, when Silkwhisp dropped into a crouch.
Odd... He hadn't smelt anything from that bush. Concentrating harder, he tasted the sour stink of lizard. He stared at her, aghast. She didn't want to catch that, did she? He hadn't sensed the lizard before, because it wasn't a usual prey for him. He thought only ShadowClan liked lizards.
Narrowing his eyes scrutinously, he dropped into a crouch and circled the bush. If she wanted lizard, so be it. He just hoped its tail didn't come off.
He rattled the bush, doing his best to chase it her way.

(If she can go then this is happening) Rainingkit bounded over to join the other cats. (She is 10 moons old too so this could be realistic if allowed!)
