Petalflower sees a badger and rushes over to help. She sees Venomfang and stands beside him, guarding Fawnstep. "What is the plan Venomfang?" she asked. "Its your call."

Venomfang

The tom felt his heart pounding in his chest and no matter how instictively he craved to unsheath some deadly claws, he knew that it was useless. Instead he ended up bearing his teeth at the creature in the most threatening way possible at the moment. Fawnstep was by him and he knew she was capable of protecting herself so he wasn't about to start treating her like a kit. But another voice startled him and he flicked his gaze to the side to spot Petalflower. When did she get here? His long tail lashed from side to side and he shook his head from side to side, "Does it look like I'm the type of cat that would waste time thinking up a plan. Fawnstep can handle that department better then I ever could. I only just got here and besides, my fighting style will be a lot different then you two. I won't fit into the equation here so worry about yourselves and I'll do what I can." He had the defeatists look in his eye as his disability kept nagging at him and laughing at what he couldn't do. But even then, this badger would need to watch out with what he could do.

Silvertail flicked her whiskers nervously when Petalflower threw herself in the mix as well. Anybody could see how she absolutely fawned over Venomfang and as to why or how any cat could fawn over the tom was far beyond her. She barely stood hanging out with him and knew that he only barely tolerated her as well. The badger had begun to stalk back and forth as if picking out the weakest looking target to start with. However, all three of them looked formidable and she just hoped that the creature was too stupid to realize that one of them was about twenty claws short of a normal feline.

Mildtail padded out of her den some time ago and had stopped by the fresh kill pile to pick up somethiing to eat. With the rogues in the camp she had been taking the time to stock up on herbs and supplies and a lot of her time was spent hecking up on the Earthclan apprentice. It was beyond her that Foxpaw wasn't a medicine cat apprentice as he fit the bill perfectly down to the quizzical brain of his. But, he was not and that was hardly her place to make assumptions. She just hoped that Emberpaw was being at least a tiny bit hospitable to Foxpaw.

Foxpaw was relieved when Poppypaw had woken up but so far he couldn't find any words to say. It looked like he didn't have to though, as Snowpaw was doing a fine job in that department for him. Instead he moved to where the arrogant orange apprentice was sitting and plopped down next to him. And while they talked, his eyes softened as he watched Poppypaw from where he was sitting. He was really glad that she looked alright for now and he refused to look at her leg. A small noise interupted his observings and he shot his head to the side and at Emberpaw, "What was that all about? What are you laughing at?"

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬✖▬▬▬
Emberpaw
Male :: Apprentice :: 10 Moons Old
▬▬▬✖▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Emberpaw was totally here the entire time but he had his gaze locked on both Snowpaw and Poppypaw as they talked. So it looked like the she-cats were getting along just fine. His gaze turned to Foxpaw who was eyeing Poppypaw like some lovesick puppy and the orange tom couldn't help but snort a bit and roll his eyes. If that little kit thought he had anything going for him, he was dead wrong at the least. Still though, Foxpaw did just save Poppypaw's hide so he had that going for him. Upon, laughing quietly, the other tom beside him shot a look with narrowed eyes. "What was that all about?" Foxpaw whispered from their spot, "What are you laughing at?" Emberpaw raised a brow at him and shrugged, whispering back, "Me? I wasn't laughing at anything. You're mistaken my good fellow." Foxpaw eyed him suspiciously and in the end, decided that he didn't quite believe him, "Yeah, and pigs fly. Spill, Emberpaw." Emberpaw made a show of looking absolutely shocked at this news, "Pigs fly? My, how the times have changed. Look, get lost and take your girlfriend home." This had the desired effect and Foxpaw let out a small indignant noise, "She's not my girlfriend and besides, with that leg it looks like we're going to be here a while." The whispering had stopped at this point and Emberpaw watched with satisfaction when Foxpaw lurched and snuck a glance at Poppypaw sheepishly. Classic Foxpaw, what would we do without him? He, in turn took the time to study Poppypaw and memories of their first conversation slowly came back to the tom. It hadn't exactly been a pleasant one but it hadn't been a bad one either. But that hardly mattered because he hardly cared.

[Animals65]

Petalflower nods. "I know what you mean Venomfang." she said respectfully. "And I didnt expect a sudden plan, but I did expect you to fight the badger with your own unique style of fighting."

Poppypaw stretched a bit, and then purred softly with relaxation as her muscles relaxed. She turned to Foxpaw and Emberpaw, eyes wide and innocent," What was that? Oh, never mind... Could one of you get me a mouse please? I'm starving!" Her look to Emberpaw was a bit harsh, but softer than the first time she had seen him.

Venomfang

Venomfang dipped his head to Petalflower, pushing both she-cats out of his mind so that he could focus on the enemy. Frontal attacks would be dangerous for him at this point so he knew that he had to somehow get around to the back. That was easier said than done as the creature was pacing back and forth, its eyes watching all three of them like a hawk. Everybody was staying still as if waiting for the other to make the first move and Venomfang had never really been the patient sort. How do I take down a badger with just my teeth? He began studying the creature and the way it moved. He knew he had to find the beast's weak spot if it even had one. And for a cat that used fangs for a weapon, he had a few moves in his corner. His bite was beyond powerful and he would be using that to his advantage. Venomfang may not be able to strike the killing blow but he could definitly slow this badger down. Finally, the tom made the first move which sent the badger locking him with a deadly stare. And one pawstep was all it took. Nevermind, this is going to be a lot trickier than I'd thought. He turned to the side, looking at both Fawnstep and Petalflower, "Change of plans. I think I can slow this mousebrain down for you two to come in and finish it off without a problem, but I can't do it with his attention on me. Think you can help me with that? Just keep in mind that distracting this guy will put you at a bigger threat so don't do anything too risky. If it looks like you'll be caught, back away and let me handle it until you can come back in. Let's try to finish this without any warrior blood being spilled, think you can manage that?" His voice had changed and now it was spoken with an odd sort of commanding confidence. Turns out, he did have a plan. Who knew?

Well, this was surprising to say the least. She never would have thought that Venomfang would be smart enough to actually ask others for help. But it looked like he knew just how far his limits were when he needed too. He was smarter than she'd given credit and the way he spoke sent small chills through her blood. A wistful look in her eyes made her think how great of a warrior that tom could be if only he'd put in just a little more effort. If he cared about something... anything, just a little more, he would surpassed any cat she knew by a long shot. The way he moved and acted right now, proved that. She wondered if Venomfang knew how he looked right now.

The orange tom brought his paw up to give it a quick lick when Poppypaw spoke and he brought it back down slowly and arched a brow. She was looking in his direction and he turned his head to look behind him to see if there was a cat behind him. When he didn't see one, Emberpaw turned back to her and twitched his whiskers in annoyance, "If by one of you, you mean Foxpaw then sure, he'd love to go and get you a mouse. Leave the errands to a pushover like him. But you aren't going to get me to do you any favors. I'm just here to satisfy my curiosity even if it ends up killing me." Foxpaw in the meantime had already stood up before Emberpaw had even started talking. He was obviously ready to run off a cliff for the wounded she-cat. Look at him wallow. Pathetic. But after hearing Emberpaw, the other apprentice shot him a nasty look, "I'm not a pushover. I'm a friend. You know, we do things for eachother. You should try it sometime. Honestly, I don't know why Snowpaw puts up with you." Emberpaw glanced at the white she-cat and purred in amusement and then to Foxpaw, "Bah, don't be a hater Foxpaw. I'm a lovable guy. Now less talking and more fetching. That's a good boy. Go on- nope, no talking. Thereeee ya go. Hurry back now!" Foxpaw was already gone by the time Emberpaw finished taunting and with an amused chuckle, he went back to ignoring everybody and started washing his other paw.

Just who does he think he is anyway? With the way he talks about himself, you'd think he'd come from Lionclan themselves. And the way he treats me like some clueless half breed. Man, I really hate that guy. He shot an angry look at the cave entrance from outside and stopped in front of the fresh kill pile, picking out a large squirrel. "Why good morning Foxpaw. Tell me, has Poppypaw woken up yet?" The sound of Marshclan's medicine cat caught his attention and he dropped the squirrel and looked at her. Slowly, he nodded and sighed, "She is. Listen, is Emberpaw always like this?" The medicine cat narrowed her eyes for a brief moment but when they softeed there was a large amount of amusement in them as well, "What, an arrogant know-it-all who just about has about enough ego to fill a lake? For the most part, yes. But he's a good tom once you get to know him. He has one of the biggest hearts of any cat I know even if he doesn't like to show it. He's also determined to be the best he can. I don't know how many times that apprentice has proclaimed that he's going to be the leader of this clan. You should give him a chance. Maybe, he'll surprise even you." Foxpaw looked uncertain as he made out the figure of the orange tom inside the medicine cat den. He supposed he'd just take Mildtail's word for it in the meantime. Slowly, the Earthclan apprentice nodded and picked up the squirrel again, making his way to the den.

She purred in amusement when Foxpaw took off again and she her eyes trailed back to the den. The cats of this clan never ceased to amaze her and Emberpaw was only one of the cats that caught her attention from an early age. Every cat was showing excellent progress and they were all growing in their own way. These days, she was barely needed and that was blessing enough. It allowed her to focus on other things. She would check on Poppypaw later, but until then, Mildtail resumed her meal.

[Animals65]

Petalflower listens carefully to the plan and nods. "Yes Venomfang." she said. "I will do as the plan says to do."

Poppypaw blushed," Oh, Foxpaw, you don't have-" but he was already gone," Emberpaw, I'm sure you're a nice tom, but... Did you really have to say that to a tom you hardly know? Unless..." she was starting to put the peices together in her head," Oh..."

He nodded to Petalflower and lashed his tail, waiting for the she-cats to begin their distraction. He watched the badger and began to plan out his strategy. Like a book he could read the situation and predict certain outcomes before they even happened. And he didn't just watch the badger, but his eyes scanned the area around him and he took careful note of anything he could use to his advantage. His eyes were focused and determined and finally, he nodded. "Alright, both of you, this is what you'll do. I need you to get this bad boy's attention and do anything you can to get his attention off of me. Both of you need to move this badger in between that tree and bush." A little ways away stood a large bush about three feet away from a decent sized tree. He wanted or needed that badger to be in between both of them for his plan to be set into action.

Emberpaw let out a small chuckle at her words but paid them little attention. he wasn't about to start cuddling up to these Earthclan cats any time soon. But he did like to have a little fun every now and again. He arched a brow and flicked his bushy tail in amusment, "What are you talking about? Me and Foxpaw are best buddies, don't you worry about that. But if you were smart, you wouldn't take anything I say seriously. Might get the wrong idea about some things or another." He stood up and stretched out with a loud yawn. What was taking that apprentice so long anyways. But sure enough, Foxpaw hopped back into the apprentices den with a squirrel in his mouth.

With a small grunt, Foxpaw dropped the squirrel in front of Poppypaw and sat back, pulling some fur out of his maw with his paws. The den had gotten quiet and he looked between Emberpaw and Poppypaw and his eyes narrowed. He looked at the orange tom and flicked an ear in annoyance and uncertainty. He really couldn't see anything great about the Marshclan apprentice like Mildtail had said. "Did I miss something here?" he asked, folding his tail around his paws. Emberpaw looked at him and was resonating with a ridiculously cheerful smile that only made him seem even more annoying. "Not a thing buddy. Say, where's my squirrel? Pretty thoughtless that you only brought Poppypw a squirrel. And I thought you were an expert on friendship. So disappointing." Foxpaw's fur bristled and he narrowed his eyes, "Well, you should have asked for something. This is your camp, so get it yourself." He tilted his head when Emberpaw looked hurt but then felt a growl escape his throat when he realized that the other was only mocking his reaction. Soon Emberpaw was looking at him with a sickeningly smug expression, "I guess I just thought that friends do things for each other. Whoever taught me that must have his head in the clouds. Honestly Poppypaw, how do you put up with this guy?" Foxpaw was ready to explode and his tail was lashing back and forth, "Oh, would you just shut up. Listen, you arrogant mousebrain, from what I've seen anyone of us could climb up your ego and jump down to your IQ. Unfortunately, the distance between the two would kill us all. So if you ever want the slightest chance of becoming leader some day you might want to think about closing that gap a little before anybody who chooses to take a risk on you pays for it or decides that you're not even worth it!" His little speech was so controlled and quiet it didn't seem as if he was really ranting. It came off as more of a lecture but it had the desired effect and Emberpaw looked like he'd been shot down. His ears were laid back and there was a twitch in the Marshclan apprentice's tail. His reply was short and their was no playfulness in it this time, "Pretty big coming from a tom who couldn't truly protect the she-cat he cares about," his tail flicked over to Poppypaw, "Almost... laughable."

[Animals65]

Petalflower sees the tree and bush. "I understand." she said nodding. "I will do it right away." She suddenly darts towards the bush to get the badger's attention.

Poppypaw flushed with anger," Both of you, sit down!" She struggled to attempt to stand and sit them down, but gasped with strain, and sat down," Please! By starclan! You two are acting like kits! Foxpaw... Did you have to say that? Emberpaw wasn't doing anything wrong!" her eyes pleaded with them. She probably would have already gotten out to go cool down, embarrassed, but at the moment, she couldn't do anything... A pain shot down her leg when she tried to stand up, but she bit it back and the leg buckled, collapsing. She blushed when Emberpaw made the last comment," Foxpaw doesn't like me that way, and if it wasn't for him, I'd be dead..."
