Creamflower notices someone coming from the corner of her eye and looks up to see her former mentor Cedarwhisker, smiling. "Hello Cedarwhisker!" she greeted warmly before taking another bite of her fish.

The brown tabby let out a yawn as he exited the warrior's den, his tail brushing against the tree roots. He was needing to sleep more and more he noticed, he knew it wouldn't be too long before he finally decided to become an elder, but he wanted to do more for his clan for now. It was only the crack of down, but surely Dolphinpaw would out and about already, Falconscar had instilled waking up early in all of his apprentices.

She had noticed her son sneaking into her den, once his father's, and didn't have the heart to shake him out. She hadn't touched the nest in the den, despite its age, simply because it still held her mate's scent, much like the rest of the den. "Good morning, Turtlepaw." She greeted, giving him a soft smile, though the lack of sleep and simple grief was taking a toll on her and anyone could easily tell.

He woke up very slowly upon being bumped into, despite him normally sleeping in, he had never been a heavy sleeper. His head turned to the entrance of the den, catching sight of his clanmate's dappled pelt, a smirk beginning to grow as he started to follow her out. "Did you miss me that much?" He joked once he caught up with her, unaware that he had a few tufts of fur around his face out of place.

He flicked his ear to acknowledge her as she trotted over, giving her a friendly smile albeit a bit crooked, her hip bumping into his as he didn't budge an inch. "Just a small hunting trip so far," he answered, giving a brief glance over the deputy before his attention went back to her. "Maybe Ghostgaze has a patrol for us to join, if you're wanting to go hunting already."

The tortie point flexed her claws into the ground, only digging up sand and relaxed her claws shortly after. She had been quite bored after waking up just before dawn, she hadn't noticed her mentor just yet but she stayed alert. Surely Thistleclaw would take her on one of the morning patrols, she preferred hunting patrols, but at this point Sharkpaw would take a border patrol.

ghostgaze noticed one of shellstar's kits leaving the leaders den and heading for the fresh kill pile, likely to grab something for his mother, and decided that morning patrols would be up to him again. it wasn't that he minded making all the patrols and speaking in front of the clan, he had just been thrust into the role and forced to start doing it rather quickly without the leader's help, due to her grief. not that he blamed her of course, he couldn't imagine the loss she was feeling. standing up slowly, he shook out his fur, before heading over to the fallen stone and climbing his way to the top. "if everyone could gather together, i'll be listing off the morning patrols in a moment." he called out to the clan, sitting down and making himself comfortable as he waited.

the calico molly didn't even have a chance to respond to her friend's words before she spotted the deputy making his way to the fallen stone and asking all of the clan to gather for patrol announcements. she grinned playfully at her friend, her tail brushing over his rump briefly as she nodded her head towards the deputy. "looks like you're telling the future now. come on, lets go get a good spot." she started making her way towards where the clan was gathering, although her eyes didn't leave her friend. she spotted her apprentice rising for the morning, making sure to catch her eye and patting a spot next to her, inviting the younger molly to join her. "oh, you know i don't mind whether i'm assigned to a hunting or a border patrol. just anything to get my paws moving and blood flowing."

the pale molly found herself arriving back in camp just as her brother made his call for the clan to gather so he could announce morning patrols. with a sigh, she knew that the rest of the cats would soon lump up together, and she was never the biggest fan of getting stuck in the middle of such a large group. eyes scanning the area to find somewhere to sit, her eyes landed on sunnydaze sitting in a patch of sun and grooming his fur, close enough to hear the deputy's words, but far enough that he wouldn't get crowded. her decision made, she approached the warm-colored tom-cat, offering a brief nod of the head as she sat next to him, wrapping her tail around her paws. "mind the company, sunnydaze? you know how i am with the crowding."

the young apprentice may have been quite shy and often kept to himself, but he was easily able to read his mother's sad emotions, especially since he had been feeling the same way in recent days. "l-let me go g-get you something to e-eat, m-mother." he said softly, brushing up against her sweetly before leaving her den and making his way into camp. he saw plenty of other cats awake, including some other apprentices that he was friends with, well sort of he supposed, and he felt immediately nervous that someone would notice him. but he was already on his mission, and so he sort of slunk towards the fresh-kill pile, going through and trying to find something tasty for his mother.

the black and orange molly had conflicting feelings about the slightly older warrior; when they were apprentices, he had always gotten under her nerves with his mischievous ways. but as they had gotten older and really grown into themselves, she would be lying to herself if she didn't admit that he had gotten quite handsome, and there were parts of his personality that she didn't actually despise like when they were young. that didn't mean that she really knew how to interact with him or felt ready to admit out loud her confusing feelings, which was why she did little things to annoy him but get his attention. her keen eyes raked over his messy appearance as the dark tom came after her, not fully expecting him to actually chase after her. she hid her pleased grin, replacing it quickly by rolling her eyes. "well someone thinks highly of themselves, don't you duskwatcher?" she teased a bit, giving him a once-over with a raised eye. "your fur is a mess again." her tone may have been indifferent, but she reached forward with a paw and smoothed out the fur sticking out of place.

tumblenose lurked around the edges of the crowd, listening into what his clanmates were doing. finding himself mildly interested in a flicker at the edge of his vision, he turned toward turtlepaw, watching the apprentice search through the freshkill pile. it wasn't like the freshkill was that bad, was it? hopefully turtlepaw didn't notice his staring... he wouldn't want to get in the way of whatever was going on

Bluestream
〖Female〗〖Warrior〗〖30 m〗
〖Mentions: Turtlepaw, Ghostgaze〗
〖Apprentice: Turtlepaw〗
〖Location: Clan Camp〗
〖Tags: Open〗

A blue bundle of fur was tightly nestled in her nest, the sounds of other cats rustling around the den caused the she-cat to open her eyes. She kept her position all curled up comfortably as piercing blue orbs darted around the surrounding area and with a quiet sigh, Bluestream lifted her head to begin yet another day of warrior duties. She could hear the faint mews of her fellow clan mates mingling outside the den. Shaking her pelt, the blue molly made her way out of the den planning on where to take Turtlepaw for the morning or perhaps volunteer herself and her apprentice for either the morning hunting or border patrol.

Bluestream made her way to a little spot in the clearing to groom her pelt before starting her day. As the molly groomed herself, she wondered where her apprentice could be. Bluestream seemed to struggle with training her apprentice due to him being more reserved, insecure and self-critical. The blue molly felt like she was failing her apprentice and her clan but always tried to remain patient with the young tom, he is close to becoming a warrior soon. As she settled down to await further instructions she noticed Turtlepaw leaving Shellstar's den. The blue molly perked her ears once Ghostgaze called for the clan to gather for morning patrols.

Thistleclaw
〖Male〗〖Warrior〗〖46 m〗
〖Mentions: Sharkpaw〗
〖Apprentice: Sharkpaw〗
〖Location: Warrior's Den〗
〖Tags: Open〗

The spiky furred tom flicked his ears as he began hearing his fellow clan mates begin to stir in the warrior's den. His pale green eyes narrowed as he watched a few of the warriors leave the den. Thistleclaw's thoughts urged him to get up and join them but his body said other wise. The older tom had no intention on getting up as early with the others in that moment in time. As the tom closed his eyes for what seemed like only a few moments, he shot his eyes back opened 'Sharkpaw is probably bored waiting for me..' Thistleclaw thought to himself as he slowly raised his head up to somewhat peer outside the den.

A small sigh escaped Thistleclaw's maw as he stood from his nest and slowly began making his way out of the warrior's den. Once the warrior left the den, he first noticed Ghostgaze sitting atop the fallen stone announcing for the clan to gather. The spiky tom was on his way to grab Sharkpaw but in an instant he turned to face the fallen rock with his tail wrapped around his paws, he knew she'd spot him in the crowd and come over in her own time.

Morningfrost
〖Female〗〖Healer〗〖32 m〗
〖Mentions: Wrenpaw, Ghostgaze〗
〖Apprentice: Wrenpaw〗
〖Location: Clan Camp〗
〖Tags: Open〗

Bright yellow orbs slowly open in the darkest part of the Healer's den staring out towards the entrance of the den. Morningfrost peered over to see if Wrenpaw was awake but to only see an empty nest. The molly slightly frowned as she stood from her nest and shook her pelt, 'She may be mingling with the other apprentices'. As the marbled molly made her way out of the den she seen a few of her clan mates mingling about the camp clearing. Looking around the clearing she still didn't see Wrenpaw in sight, 'Maybe she's in the nursery or the elder's den?' the molly thought as she slowly made her way towards the two dens. As she peered into the elder's den there was no Wrenpaw in sight, thus leading the older she-cat to make her way towards the nursery.

During this time it was possible the apprentice did make it pass the Healer undetected. Once again no Wrenpaw was seen in the nursery but it was getting close to time for Shellstar to move into the nursery before she begins kitting. At this time Morningfrost heard Ghostgaze call to gather the clan for morning patrol. Although this never applies for clan healers, from time to time the marbled she-cat liked to sit and listen herself and then after patrols are sent she'd ask a remaining warrior to accompany her while she gathered herbs. As the she-cat began making her way over to join the others, she noticed the tip of a tail entering the healer's den 'Wrenpaw?' Morningfrost thought as she sat down in the back of the crowd. She decided to wait until the little meeting was over before facing the cat that entered her den.

She flicked her ear to acknowledge his offer, giving her son a lick on his forehead before he walked away. Perhaps they could share the prey then, surely Bluestream could spare her apprentice for a moment or two. Shellstar's gaze moved to the new deputy, feeling a sense of guilt for his own predicament. He had hardly any warning with his new role, but she had never really wanted to be leader like this either.

He couldn't hide the smirk on his face at her taunt, remembering a few times that other cats had confessed to him, him letting them down gently at the time, Duskwatcher let out a chuckle. He always liked pranking and messing with her ever since they were apprentices together. "Of course, and you don't?" He asked, only moments before she smoothed out his messy fur, falling quiet as the tips of his ears grew warm, not that he'd admit it. "See, you just can't keep your paws off me." Duskwatcher teased in return, quickly regaining his cool head, his tail tip flicking.

He let out a quiet laugh, it had been good timing but that was it, keeping his pace with the smaller calico towards the fallen stone. "I could go for either, but hopefully nobody stumbles into any predators today." His voice grew a little quieter from instinct, not wanting to bring up rough topics since it has only been a moon since then. He didn't buy that Otterstar lost every life from an alligator, Falconscar was his mentor- that was a known fact, and every cat knew he knew how to avoid alligators after he lost half his tail of course.

The apprentice finally noticed her mentor's spiky pelt among the cats around the fallen stone, her tail tip flicking in annoyance as she quickly made her way towards him. The older cat, Tumblenose, had caught her attention when she realized he was staring at her brother, her ears flattening as Sharkpaw turned. She shoved her shoulder into Tumblenose, and couldn't help but mutter as she walked away, most likely loud enough for him to hear her. "Staring is rude, don't most cats learn that as kits?" She huffed, forcing her pelt to stay flat despite her anger. Her brother didn't like to be watched, and especially not now. Did Tumblenose have no common courtesy? She thought, reaching Thistleclaw with ease, though he probably saw the whole interaction with the other warrior and herself.

sheepishly turning away from the view, tumblenose avoided staring directly at anyone, least of all sharkpaw and her mentor. okay, admittingly, it was embarrasing to get called out for being nosey by an apprentice, but he wasn't going to try to defend himself. it was just so interesting; he didn't really pay attention to what was going on in the clan- he just liked the show... and yeah maybe he should pay attention to the announcements! yeah! that's surely interesting and will not get him in trouble- okay admittingly he wasn't really interested. he was getting distracted again- but at least this time by a interesting bug and not anything that would get him in major trouble, right?

ghostgaze waited until the majority of the clan had gathered before him, noticing also shellstar peaking ever so slightly out of her den and giving her a soft smile before he spoke again. "as always, if you are not assigned to a patrol, feel free to help out the medicine cats, the queens, or work on cleaning some of the dens. falconscar will lead the border patrol consisting of thistleclaw, slategaze, cherrybloom, and wavechaser, along with their apprentices. i'd like the border patrol to stick to the north and west sides of the island today, to not disturb the hunting patrols. i will lead a hunting patrol to the south consisting of thistleclaw, sunnydaze, whisperhop, palethroat, and tumblenose, along with their apprentices. sardinepelt will lead a hunting patrol to the east consisting of bluestream, duskwatcher, littlefoot, and dovespeckle, along with their apprentices. dismissed." leaping down from the rock, he decided to wait right there for his patrol to gather around him before leaving. his eyes landed on his apprentice and he used a paw to gesture her over to him; "over here tawnypaw."

"well, even if we do, at least we're with falconscar. he's a tough tom-cat, he could keep the apprentices safe. i'm going to grab my apprentice, i'll meet you over by falonscar." she gave him a tight smile before padding over to where she saw her apprentice, greeting the young molly with a lick over the ear.

at the announcement of the patrols, the little tom rushed to find a fat squirrel for his mother, quickly grabbing it in his maw and slinking past the rest of the clan, back into his mother's den. he placed the squirrel right at her front paws, bumping his head to hers affectionately. "here you go. did-did you need me to ask b-bluestream to stay be-behind with you, mother?" he said softly, having no idea of the interaction between one of his littermates and tumblenose while he had been so focused on getting prey for her.

"if only you were so lucky. i just can't bear to be seen with someone so scruffy." turning her attention to the deputy as he announced patrols, she couldn't help the thrill that ran through her at being assigned to a patrol with the tom currently at her side, not that she would ever tell him. with another roll of her eyes and a dramatic sigh, she spoke again. "of course, i would get stuck with you. come on then." she stood up quickly, making her way over towards where sardinepelt was, likely waiting for her patrolmates to gather around her since she was the lead.

Tawnypaw's eyes fluttered open, the morning sun casting a gentle glow through the den entrance. Panic set in as she realized how late it was. Her heart raced as she scrambled to her paws, her mind a whirlwind of worry. "Oh no, I overslept!" she whispered to herself, her voice trembling with guilt.

She hastily groomed her short, grey and ginger tabby fur, trying to smooth down the tufts that had become disheveled in her sleep. Her pure white paws moved with urgent grace as she darted outside, her body feeling unusually heavy with the weight of her anxiety. The camp was already bustling with activity, and every cat she passed seemed to be a reminder of her tardiness. Her pale amber eyes scanned the clearing nervously until they landed on Ghostgaze. His sharp eyes, seemed to lock onto her immediately, calling him over to her with a swift flick of his paw. Tawnypaw's ears flattened in shame, her tail drooping low as she forced herself to move forward. She could feel the gazes of her clanmates, each glance intensifying her discomfort. She felt small, insignificant, like a mouse caught in a hawk's shadow.

Taking a deep breath, Tawnypaw hurried over, her steps light but hesitant. She stopped in front of him, her head bowed and her eyes fixed on her paws. "Good morning, Ghostgaze," she mewed softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm so sorry for being late. I didn't mean to oversleep."
Her soft pink nose quivered with the effort to hold back her distress, and her sweet, innocent expression was marred by the deep lines of worry etched into her features. Her shyness made every second feel like an eternity, and her mind raced with thoughts of how she had let him down.
"I know how important our training is," she continued, her voice tinged with desperation. "I promise it won't happen again."
She stood before him, her slender frame trembling slightly. The fear of disappointing Ghostgaze gnawed at her, making her feel even more vulnerable. Her delicate disposition required a gentle approach, but she knew her mentor had high expectations. Her pale amber eyes, usually so warm and gentle, now reflected a deep-seated anxiety. She hoped he would understand, that he wouldn't be too disappointed in her. All she wanted was to prove herself, to show that she was dedicated and capable, despite her shy nature. As she waited for his response, her mind was a whirlwind of worry and self-recrimination. She longed for the comforting presence of her friends, for the quiet moments where she could offer soft nudges and quiet purrs. But now, standing in front of Ghostgaze, all she could do was wait, her heart pounding and her soul laid bare, hoping for a chance to make things right.

Slategaze padded silently into the camp, the early morning mist still clinging to his sleek, stormy grey fur. His paws, stark white against the dark ground, moved with deliberate grace, leaving barely a trace of his passage. The moon had begun to wane, its soft light casting a gentle glow on his path, a serene contrast to the usual intensity of his dark green eyes. He had enjoyed the solitude of his hunt, a rare moment of peace under the moonlight, away from the bustling life of the clan.
As he entered the camp, the fresh prey—a plump rabbit and a couple of mice—dangled from his jaws. His ears twitched at the sound of Ghostgaze’s voice calling the clan together. With a small sigh, Slategaze dropped his catch on the fresh-kill pile and turned towards the gathering. His perpetual furrowed brow deepened slightly as he approached, his expression as grumpy as ever.
Slategaze found a spot on the edge of the crowd, his intense gaze fixed on Ghostgaze. Despite his aloof demeanour, he always made sure to pay close attention to clan meetings. His sharp senses picked up every word, every subtle shift in the deputy's tone.
He heard his name mentioned alongside thistleclaw, cherrybloom, wavechaser, along with their apprentices and falconscar leading the patrol. Slategaze gave a curt nod, acknowledging the deputy’s words. His mind quickly assessed the patrol group. Thistleclaw and Falconscar were reliable warriors, Cherrybloom brought a cheerful energy, and Wavechaser had a polite quietness to him. The apprentices would be enthusiastic, if a bit unruly. He noted the names of the younger cats, already planning how to best keep an eye on them while maintaining the patrol’s efficiency. He remembered being that age, no responsibilities, and envied them a little. Glancing around the tom silently made his way to Falconscar, dipping his head in greeting to the older warrior.

As the morning sun warmed the camp, Dawnglow stirred from her peaceful slumber, stretching each limb luxuriously before smoothing down her fluffy, sun-kissed fur with meticulous care. Her pale icy-blue eyes sparkled with an ethereal light as she groomed herself, taking pride in her appearance as she always did. With a satisfied purr, she padded gracefully out of the warriors' den, settling herself just outside, where the sunlight kissed her fur and made it glow even more vibrantly.

She greeted each passing cat with a cheerful chirp or a playful wink, her demeanor effortlessly drawing attention. When she spotted Palethroat emerging from the den, a mischievous glint lit up her eyes. "Well, good morning, Palethroat," she purred in a teasing tone, her fluffy tail swishing lightly behind her. "You're up early today. Planning something adventurous, perhaps?"

Dawnglow's flirty manner was part of her charm, always leaving a hint of intrigue in her wake. She admired Palethroat's strength and admired his rugged appearance, finding his quiet confidence appealing. As the camp bustled with morning activity, she remained perched, soaking in the warmth and offering her playful greetings to anyone who caught her eye.

She glanced over at Palethroat, waiting for his response, a playful smile dancing on her lips as she anticipated their banter.

Each stroke of his tongue was deliberate, ensuring his luxurious coat shimmered in the sunlight. His pale amber eyes reflected a keen intelligence, perfectly complementing his ethereal appearance.

The sound of his name being called reached his ears, and Webpaw immediately rose to his paws, his heart quickening with anticipation. He moved with graceful confidence as he made his way over to his mentor, Sunnydaze. The golden tom’s presence was a reassuring beacon of guidance and wisdom.

"Good morning, Sunnydaze," Webpaw greeted warmly, dipping his head respectfully. His voice was imbued with a genuine enthusiasm, his eyes bright with eagerness. "I am eager for the hunting patrol. Perhaps, afterward, we could dedicate some time to further training? I am keen to improve and learn all I can."

His tail flicked with excitement as he awaited Sunnydaze’s response, the prospect of honing his skills and contributing to the clan filling him with a sense of purpose. Webpaw's dedication to his duties and his mentor’s teachings was evident, his optimistic spirit undimmed by the challenges of the day.
