Creamflower smiles at Birchsplash and nuzzles him happily, glad to hear that he is willing to have kits with her. "Yes." she said. "It's a deal. I know you will do great with this litter like you did with the last! I want a second chance and not many cats get that privilege unfortunately."

( ─ bluepaw | tom | ten moons | apprentice | mentor, eveningpoppy | tags, snowfeather )

the young tom heard the commotion from inside the den, then was met with the familiar voice of snowfeather. the apprentice let out a soft murmur of acknowledgement. his tail closer to him and shivering slightly, the cold seeped into his waking body replacing the warmth that slumber had given him. he blinked once, then twice, then three times trying to clear his vision of the sleep. the world was a blur, but he pushed himself to his paws arching his back in a magnificent stretch. lowering himself now he let his front paws outstretch flexing all parts of his body as he slowly clambered out of his nest. fluffing up his short pelt to the best of his abilities, he gave his chest a quick lick before pushing his way out of the den to meet snowfeather, his tail waving gentle behind him as he exited.

the apprentice's eyes adjusted quickly to the sun and he looked to the warrior that had summoned him, bluepaw let out a soft purr, "good morning snowfeather, you said you wanted me to help with gathering moss? is it for driftsplash?" he meowed tilting his head slightly, just curious about this first task of the day. he let his eyes drift around camp, seeing copperpaw with her mentor, ebonypaw ripping at the ground and crowpaw seeming to have set him off or perhaps something else to do with that bluepaw had first heard when waking. the rest of the clan was milling about peacefully, allowing him to relax.

( ─ palemoth | molly | thirty moons | warrior | tags, open )

the molly had took to a sunny spot near the warriors den, watching her clanmates with quiet contentment as she groomed out her fur. finding that every time she slept the moss from her nest decided to nestle deep into her pelt, getting tangled and knotted often enough so now she takes care to clear her fur of any debris. palemoth rasped her tongue over her paws and front legs monotonously, seeming to be in her own little world. her tail waving gently along the ground behind her, pushing rocks and the small amount of grass.

she took a pause in her grooming and gazed towards the freshkill pile, noticing a familiar white pelted tom, she felt her fur flush ever so slightly with heat. the molly had a bit of a crush on swanfern though she knew full well the consiquences if she were to express those feelings, it didn't bother her much to repress these feelings. she let out a soft sigh and went back to grooming, laying on her side and getting at her belly fur. maybe i should ask someone to go hunting.. looks like we could use a few extra paws for it, she thought to herself her whiskers twitching. the tricky thing is who to ask.. figriver or lightingleaf?

Cool water enveloped her paw pads as the lean bodied cat drew her run to a halt, the tips of her sheathed claws bordering the soft, mushy earth that sank into the water. The marsh was one of her favourite places to spend any spare time she came upon and it was a lush hunting ground for the cats of her clan as well. Lightningleaf lifted her head high and inhaled a deep breath that pushed her chest out, eyes closing for a brief moment to savour the primal sensations the wilderness brought to her. After a few moments of enjoying the scenic view, the ash-grey warrior decided it was about time she return to camp for patrols.

A quick turn on her heel and the swift warrior was off yet again, putting the rest of her effort into the last stretch of her run. Feeling the muscles pumping beneath her pelt and the beating of her heart as it fuelled her body, it was like music to her ears. Since she was one of the ample warriors who didn't have an apprentice to train, Lightningleaf used her spare time to condition her body on top of the extra training she did on the side. Before long she was able to slow as she neared the camp and it was then that she took in the state of her. Drenched. Well that was bound to happen when she ran through the marsh. A light chuckle rumbled in her chest as she jogged into camp searching for a sunny spot to bask in for a little bit to dry her pelt before Eveningpoppy organized patrols.

It was any wonder anyone could get any decent shut eye around here with the amount of whining and yowling some of her den mates did. Even when they had vacated the den she could still hear their shrill voices somewhere out in camp. Slapping a paw over an ear to drown out the noise, the small silver apprentice attempted to burrow deeper into her nest. When the raised voices that held a clear hint of discontent continued, Minnowpaw conceded and rose to her paws, stretching before exiting the den. She had noticed she was one of the last apprentices to wake and she hoped Emberflight wasn't too disappointed in her for sleeping in so late. It took Minnowpaw less than a second to figure out whose voice she had heard earlier from within the den. Ebonypaw. Figures she thought to herself with a snort. He's better at throwing fits than a kit her attention was drawn form the small black cat towards the fresh-kill pile that beckoned her forth.

As she headed over she saw the retreating figure of her mentor who looked like he was returning to where Adderstar sat. Slipping around the prey pile, she looked down at her options and scrunched her nose at the first thing she saw. The gleaming silver body of the minnow that sat on the top reeked of the fishy scent and nearly had the she-cat recoiling. "Who the heck would name their kit after...this??" she meowed a loud, utter disgust blossoming in her eyes as she glared down at the very creature that held her namesake. Shaking her head, Minnowpaw reached around the small fish and plucked a small bird that was most likely caught in the woodland part of their territory.

Sunlight glinted off ivory fangs as Figriver's jaws parted into a yawn wide enough to engulf a piece of prey whole. Smacking his lips together in satisfaction, he shook out his pelt in an attempt to shake himself loose of the final grips of sleep that had clung to him still even after leaving the comfort of the warriors den. The tom's plush tail weaved through the air behind him like a dancing serpent as he electric blue eyes danced across the camp. It wasn't long before he spotted someone who he'd be more than happy to keep company with until patrols were arranged. The soft brown pelted molly who was currently grooming at the fur laden on her belly, was someone he was fortunate enough to call a good friend and his arranged mate. Though they had been friends before being paired up as mates, Figriver wasn't naive enough to just automatically assume that from the point of being paired up that would instantly invoke feelings of love between the two. It was more complicated than that.

The broad chocolate brown tom already didn't particularly like the notion of taking away one's freedom to choose who their heart belonged to, but he also wasn't one to break the clan's accord. So because of that, and because of the respect he held for Palemoth, he had treated her as he always had, a friend, and he would continue to do so until she showed him any sign of wanting something more than a friendly relationship. Figriver was the type to devote every bit of himself to his mate but he would only do so when they wanted it, he would never force his affection on anyone. Padding over to the pretty molly a smile slipped across his maw before he spoke. "The belly fur is always the hardest to get at. That might just be my own biased opinion because of me size though" his charming voice held a youthful cheer to it while an undertone of something gravely threatened to contradict it.

She was embarrassingly late to waking up, shamefully and quickly trotting out of the warriors' den. Swiveling her head to glance around the clearing, Eveningpoppy hoped no one had seen her. So far, no one approached her. She let out a soft sigh of relief and watched Adderstar speaking to a group of cats, most likely the morning patrols. It seemed that she wasn't assigned to one of the patrols, which was okay - perhaps she would go hunting later. Or even overlook the apprentices' training to see how they were getting along and if any of them were ready to receive their name in the next moon. It had been a while since Eveningpoppy had done that.

Turning away from the sight of a she-cat he was forbidden to have feelings for, he shook his head at his thoughts. Since he had come to live in Reedclan at a young age, Swanfern had promised himself that he would be loyal to the rules and traditions that they had taught him as an apprentice. Sometimes he wondered if other cats struggled the same way... but for now, he would search for Lightningleaf and remain with her. As if on cue, Swanfern saw her trotting into camp with her pelt in disarray and dripping wet from the long strands of fur. "Did you go swimming in the marsh again?" he teased as he approached her, his tail held high and curling at the tip. Swanfern knew that she enjoyed being in the marsh, but he always wondered how she managed to get so soaked.

He was one of the last apprentices awake, which wasn't unusual for him. The calico tom hoped he could escape the apprentices' den without his mentor, his sisters, or any of the senior warriors seeing him. Those were the cats that usually got on his case about waking up early and being on time for training or patrols. However, as soon as he shot out of the den, Lightpaw almost ran into the cat he was trying to avoid. Hickorynose was right in front of him. Applesweep was sitting beside him, enjoying a fish and sunning herself by the den. "Oh, um... good morning, Hickorynose! And good morning to you too, Applesweep. How are you two doing?" Lightpaw asked as politely as possible.

Cinderwing's eyes widened in amused surprise as the two apprentices hurtled towards her. Once they'd both arrived, she chuckled and rose to her feet. "Good job, Amberpaw! That was much quicker than I expected," she purred, also giving a sideways glance to Littlepaw. It was a hidden compliment of the small molly's lightning pace.
"Alright, we're heading out now." With a flick of her tail, she led the way out of camp. It would be good to reiterate their tasks for Littlepaw to hear too. "Our job today is to patrol the border along the streams. But keep your eyes open for prey to catch along the way - the fresh-kill pile could use whatever help it gets," Cinderwing explained as she walked. She wasn't one for sugarcoating clan issues, especially ones that affected everyone.

Tallflower chuckled at the humorous question. She had a point, though, summers were certainly not his element. "That's a good question... I've only survived two summers and I'm not looking forward to the next." His expression was one of mock horror, too exaggerated to be serious. "Maybe I can fly north like the ducks."
Briarlily let out a sigh and appeared to be deep in thought. Tallflower had an inkling of what this was about, but it would be rude of him to pry, so instead he gently touched his tailtip to her shoulder in a silent gesture of support.
More commotion from the apprentices drew Tallflower's attention. It was yet another enraged episode from Ebonypaw, who snapped at his concerned denmate and stormed over to attack mud beside Tallflower. At this point, it became obvious to the silver-furred tom why his apprentice had his claws in a tangle, why he kept taking it out on his friends. It was almost certainly the result of a deep-seated insecurity about his self-image, one he appeared to be projecting onto others' benign behavior.
"Ebonypaw, no reasonable cat sees you as a kit," Tallflower told him in a stern but not unkind tone. Being too soft would likely trigger Ebonypaw's sensitivities for obvious reasons, but he wasn't about to be cruel either. There was a balance he had to strike.
"These apprentices are your friends, are they not? A friend sees you as an equal," he continued. "If you don't trust them on that front, then I ask you have a conversation with them about it, after you give yourself time to calm down. Communication is important and you're mature enough to discuss these things in a way that isn't accusatory or passive-aggressive. I trust you."

"Really?" Copperpaw's amber eyes glittered with excitement as Pinefeather allowed her the privilege of choosing their fresh-kill. She rolled to her paws and sprang up, a bounce in her step. This was a great way to forget all about whatever upset her earlier. "Well, I love marsh rabbits! It's the perfect food of a growing warrior. In fact, I bet rabbits are why I'm so big and tough."
She kept rambling on about rabbits even as she scanned the fresh-kill pile. Thankfully there was a rabbit, though it looked scrawnier and bonier than usual, with ragged fur and a sharp outline to its ribs. Copperpaw ignored that little issue and happily brought it back to Pinefeather. As she placed the emaciated rabbit at her mentor's feet, she noticed Pinefeather's mate Eaglefoot had joined them... and he sounded pretty hungry. Copperpaw grinned, glad to have more things to do to keep herself distracted.
"Of course!" she purred, lumbering back to the fresh-kill pile. "Now, what would Eaglefoot like? He's named after an eagle, and eagles like to hunt... water birds! That's right."
Copperpaw gripped a limp, ragged duck by the neck and trotted back to the warriors. She dropped it in front of Eaglefoot - "Here you go, dad! Hope you like it!" The apprentice didn't even notice she'd called Pinefeather's mate 'dad', but it definitely implied something about how she felt towards her mentor - and by extension her family.

The young apprentice let out a cry as he tried to reason with his friend ' Ebonypaw I wasn't tryin- ' he started but alas, his methods was futile as the feline let out one last menacing growl and settled next to his Mentor. Crowpaw took a step back in disbelief, how did it turn out like that? He only wanted to help but it seemed like his thoughts didn't convey as he had hoped... 'He shook his head and looked at the ground muttering a weak 'sorry'. He stared at the back of his friend ' I-I'm sorry E-Ebonypaw... I-...It won't.. ' The apprentice stumbled on his words, the earlier fight taking quite the toll on him as he reverted back to his meek self. He turned around and walked towards his mentor plopping himself down right behind him eyes filled with worry and sadness. He wished he could do something but it seemed like 'helping' will only make things worse..

She grinned and nodded once again as her apprentice immediately ran towards the small tower of meat and watched as she carefully picked a prey from the fast depleting pile,. The warrior reminded herself to go on a hunt even if she isn't assigned to a patrol or party today, possibly take copperpaw for a lesson or two plus it would be a great way for them to bond. The female she-cat still wondered where the long-haired tom was- he usually is never late regardless if there was a patrol or not, she was a little concerned however the feeling of someone brushing themselves behind her made her whiplash her head towards them. ' Well you certainly have a way of making yourself known don't you Eaglefoot? ' she pointed a questioning look towards him after the tom made himself known but then grumbled after hearing what the tom said ' I- wasn't looking for you...not-frantically that is..' The feline licked the tom's left ear retorting the earlier affection, though she isn't a used to it-or any affection for the most part of her life, she would definitely try her best to at least form a bond with the tom. Pinefeather grinned settling on a bit more comfortable pose 'I guess you're quite the sneaky cat now aren't you?' she finished before averting her attention to Copperpaw who brought back the hare ' My my, rabbits still in the pile? We're lucky Copperpaw, I usually see them get gulped first. ' She bit off a leg and pushed the rest to her apprentice. She wasn't too hungry and from all the running Copperpaw has done... she definitely needs the energy. Pinefeather's ears peeked up after hearing the smaller felines' words and she glanced at the tom next to her, wondering if he had heard it and waiting for his reaction.




Cypresspaw
>> tom>> rogue >> area: the borders of the clan >> tags; ??

He groggily yawned before falling down on the ground, the branch he was sleeping on broke from his weight but it was nothing new to him- This is his regular routine as a loner which he prefers, regardless of it being painful. He stood up and stretched himself and trotted towards a small pond a bit distance from his tree. He gulped a mouthful of the water, eyes staring directly at the water in case of any dangers while his ears are perked up high twitching every once in a while in case anything tries to attack him from behind. The tom stood up, and scanned his surroundings for anything to eat- Nothing seemed to be moving about- not even any birds flying about which was quite strange. It was quiet, too quiet and he didn't like it, one of the cons of being a loner is the lack of protection you get from your clan mates but in his mind, clans will eventually fight from the inside out so being in them is useless to the tom if it meant him losing another family.. another group of friends. He let out a bittersweet chuckle ' Hey brother, Swanfern? wherever you are, mind sending me a bird or a bunny or even a fish ... you know a little help wouldn't hur- ' Cypresspaw stopped in his tracks at the sound of movements in the grass... he readied himself with padded paws she slowly stalked his prey before pouncing on it, with one chomp the toad had no chance. He grinned and skitted happily like a little kit at his catch, it was his first meal in a day so he eagerly munched it all up, not letting any of the meat go to waste. Cypresspaw nodded towards the clouds, unsure if spirits really does exists or it was by pure luck, nonetheless he did it as a thanks.

"sounds like you could use to help," she meowed her tail flicking up and curling over her flank as she absorbed the last bits of sunlight before getting to her paws to properly greet him, she continued. "you can ask me so don't be shy." she let out a gentle murrow of laughter and her eyes shown with tease, a small smile on her maw.

the molly stretched up her neck to touch figriver's nose gently, her tail waving out behind her as she looked up at the tom from her tucked position on the ground. she let her gaze wander slightly towards lightingleaf who seemed to have been swooped up by her mate just as she got into camp, the molly was soaked and palemoth couldn't help but let her whiskers twitch with amusement. she then turned back to her mate and spoke her previous thoughts, "well it seems it's your lucky day figriver, how does a two cat patrol sound to you? i was thinking of going hunting so we had a bit extra for the clan today." she meowed hoping the tom would say yes, she felt like having a bit of fun mixed in with actual work.

Briarlilly laughed, "Good luck with that! Tell me when you figure out how to fly". Briarlilly twiched her tail, " So, do you like your past? Or do you regret it?" She asks quietly. Briarlilly personally disliked her past, and wanted to forget about it. The problem was, that it kept creeping back into her brain when she tried to push it away. She knew she should tell someone about this, but she just didn't feel like it.

Birdtalon
Birdtalon walked out of the Warrior’s den. Birdtalon heard her leader call for a gathering. She walked over to where the other cats sat and took a spot near the back. She sighed in relief as Adderstar didn’t call her name. She began padding back towards the warrior’s den.

The noises, the smells of the fresh preys which the wind blew inside the warrior's den. He loved to eat but didn't exactly like to be waked because of it. As a little kitten, he had a little problem with morning waking and breakfast, he starts vomiting if he eats too soon after awakening, nobody knows what cause it, but it's not a life dangering thing, just very awkward and disgusting. Yawning he got up to his messy nest, giving it a tired look 'the moss looks horrible I could change it' he thought with a heavy sight. He took some of his bad moss out with him, to bring to the used moss pile near the dirt place, shaking his fur he looked around the gathering patrols and other cats here and there. She saw her mate Applesweep there with her brother and his apprentice Lightpaw. He didn't know much about his mate, but he did know that she didn't interest him in any way, which was kind of sad when they were assigned as a mate.

━━Featherdust awoke rather late that morning, something he’d been doing quite often as of late. Perhaps his age was finally starting to get to him, he’d been awfully tired after performing duties he had no trouble with moons ago. Of course, the brown-and-white tabby wasn’t about to admit this, perish the thought. It didn’t matter to be honest, he had a clan to care for and so long he was able to, he was going to do it. He wasn’t about to blame it upon his age, what a silly excuse that would be. He didn’t want to seem like he was simply trying to get out of it, though he was sure his clan would be understanding, today wasn’t his day for retirement. Besides, he still had an apprentice to train and care for, so it would be long after her warrior ceremony if anything. With a heavy sigh, the tom slowly rose to his paws, stretching his limbs to his best ability as not to disturb the few slumbering felines left in the den. Speaking of which, he noticed that he was among the few left behind. That could only mean one thing.. He had overslept.

━━Great Starclan, I’m going to be late for patrols. With a flick of his tail, the tom quickly trotted out of the warriors den, casting his gaze about as he searched the camp. He made it out just in time to spot a gathering group of cats, before he was approached by his son, Eaglefoot. “I’ll do my best as usual. You know I’ll always try to bring you something special.” He replied, before watching the tom turn away, seeming to have caught an interest in something that was happening in the corner of Reedclan’s camp. The tom smiled slightly, before letting his thoughts wander, wondering what his son would be up to in the meantime. He’d take care of himself as usual, though he realized what he must’ve meant by his words. He must’ve been sent on a patrol. He hadn’t heard which, but after some time he saw Littlepaw racing toward one of the groups of gathered felines, seeing as Zinniadusk was also paired with her apprentice Amberpaw, he figured that must be the patrol he was after. Making his way over, he made it just in time, as they were about to leave. As the cats began to leave the camp, Featherdust swiftly made it to Littlepaw’s side. “My apologies for not speaking to you this morning, Littlepaw. I hope you slept well. I’m hoping we can get a good bit of training done after this patrol, if you’re up for it. You’ll be receiving your warrior ceremony soon enough and I want you to be ready for it.” He said to her with a warm smile.

━━The calico warrior wasn’t awoken by the rising sun, nor the stirring of her fellow warriors. No, instead she had merely sensed that the time had come to rise, a habit she had developed during her apprenticeship. The calico’s amber gaze rested upon the den’s entrance, as morning light danced just outside of it. Whiskers quivering slightly, the molly’s tail flicked in anticipation. She already had her morning planned out, as she did most days, to avoid wasting valuable time. She’d fetch Amberpaw and show her a few battle moves today, perhaps tag along with another mentor and apprentice duo if she was able to. Of course, she wasn’t going to count on such, it didn’t bother her whether she’d be training her apprentice alongside a partner or not, to be honest, she preferred the latter for obvious reasons.

━━Seeing as she had spent enough time thinking the day over one last time, the female rose to her paws, swiftly making her way out of the den. She let out a heavy breath as if it pained her to stay in there too long, despite knowing her fellow warriors all of her life. Blinking, the molly glanced about the camp, searching for the ginger-and-white apprentice that was her own. Before she could settle her gaze on the apprentice, a familiar voice spoke, ringing out among the camp. Her ears twitched, a scowl quick to take place among her features. Leave it to the leader or deputy to spoil her plans with a patrol. Ah well, it was a duty she must uphold nonetheless, regardless of how she felt about it currently. She was thankful that Amberpaw would be going with her at least, perhaps they could have a bit of a training session while they were away. Though, she would’ve preferred it without the many eyes of her peers on her.

━━Upon spotting Amberpaw among the gathering cats for the patrol, Zinniadusk approached slowly. Her gaze rested upon the apprentice for a moment, before turning her attention elsewhere. She briefly heard her mention the missing Littlepaw, soon enough leaving to fetch her. Surely, that’s her mentor's job? Not something an apprentice should be doing. She mused, before returning her attention on the patrol. As the two apprentices approached, Cinderwing announced that they would be leaving now. With a single glance at the two, she merely turned away and began to follow the rest of the patrol, forcing herself into a proper mindset she’d need.
