тagged; GingerstepFlexing his claws with a wide yawn, the tom blinked his eyes and gave his head a quick shake to rid his fur of scraps of nesting materials. Rising to his paws, he took a moment to rid his mind of the cloudiness of sleep before slipping quietly through the warriors’ den. Within moments, his white pelt was fluffed up against a cold breeze, and he drew back his head to scent the air.
Leaf-fall is nearly upon us, he thought, looking forward to the season where the forest would be plunged beneath a canopy of scarlet. Spotting Gingerstep near the exit tunnel, the tom put on a burst of speed, hoping to catch her before she left. Luckily, she’d sat down and appeared to be waiting for a patrol.
“Morning,” he mewed.
“I’d like you to lead a hunting patrol.” His ears swiveled back as he heard his sister padding up behind him.
“Moonjay can join you, as well as any other cats of your choosing.” Hastily, he rose to his paws before his littermate could start chittering in his ear like an angry squirrel, pestering him with her opinions of what the clan needed. It was always “the clan this” and “the clan that”, and it always manage to get under his fur and make him snappy with anxiety.

тagged; GingerstepThe she-cat’s eyes flickered open, just barely catching her brother’s tail whisking out of the den. Scrambling to her paws, she trotted after him, hoping to tell him about a fighting technique she’d thought of; however, she bit her tongue when she noticed he’d addressed her.
”A patrol? Sure, Whitepine!” Her tail waved contently as she watched her brother pad away before she turned to Gingerstep.
”It’s a great morning for hunting. Who shall we take with us?” Her bright blue eyes scanned the clearing, looking for cats who could accompany them. With a jolt she realized that, in her haste to meet Whitepine, she hadn’t even groomed herself. Ears twitching with embarrassment, she dipped her head and began to lap at her fur.

тagged; CrowhopSprawled out in her nest, Onyxpaw’s head lifted as her mentor’s face disappeared from sight. Her slitted eyes narrowed for a heartbeat before she sighed and rolled to her feet. Being one of only two apprentices had its perks, a nice big nest and plenty of stretching room. The small she-cat padded outside, her claws flexing into the chilled earth beneath her paws. Approaching her mentor, she blinked up at him.
”What’s on the agenda today?” she asked, her voice harboring a touch of sarcasm. Did she even need to ask? He did the same things every day...and that included waking her up with just a whisker of light in the sky. Her head swiveled around to observe the rest of the waking clan, only half-listening for her mentor’s reply.
