--S ᴜ ɴ ᴘ ᴇ ʟ ᴛ ♂

Smooth tongue stroked groomed his golden tabby fur as Sunpelt cleaned himself. He lay curled up in the early morning sun. His eyes opened when a sudden breeze ruffled through his fur. He got up and stretched a bit, watching his apprentice, Shortpaw, giving an attempt at catching a butterfly. He gave a slight chuckle and padded over to him. "I guess we'll be working on your hunters crouch today hmm?" He tipped his head at the smaller apprentice. He sat and curled his tail around his golden paws, watching the butterfly seem to float away.

--M ɪ s ᴛ ʏ ᴘ ᴀ ᴡ ♀

The silver tabby apprentice lay curled up in her nest, back slowly rising and falling with her steady breathing. Only a leaf landing on her nose woke the tired she cat. She stretched her paws out and gave a squeaky yawn before padding out of bed and her den. She looked around for Applesong, hoping that her mentor wouldn't have another hunting patrol for her today.

[Silvene]

Applesong

Applesong settled down near the warriors den to give her pelt a quick grooming. Soothing out the tufts of fur sticking out. Leaving her brown tabby pelt sleek and shiny. With that done, the she-cat turned her attention to another matter. Her light green eyes drifted over to the fresh-kill pile. A plump little mouse seemed to be calling to her. Applesong padded to the pile, dipping her head in greetings to the others surrounding it.

Ashpaw

Ashpaw poked his head outside the apprentice den. It seemed like most of the clan was out, which suggested that he should be too. Bounding out as he kept an eye out for his mentor, wondering is she would take him out for some battle training. There was some moves he saw the older apprentices practicing, and Ashpaw always wanted to advance his skills.

Brokenfeather

The black she-cat laid quietly on top of a rock, watching her leader with well-hidden intrest. Wrenching her gaze away, her eyes laid softly on the apperentice den. She vaguely wondered which apperentice she would be allowed to train, slightly brightening at the chance of being a mentor. She had a apperentice once, but he had died shortly after the ceremony from a foxes bite. She didn't make it in time. She shook away of watching the horror in her mind like the nights that followed, and moving her viciously intense icey gaze on the fresh-kill pile. She carefully noted the prey she had caught before dawn. A rabbit, a pair of water voles, a single fish, and she managed to catch a mouse on the way back. It was one of her best catches. With a sigh, she resumed watching the apperentice den, letting her thoughts select the fact she was able to be the deputy wander.

Fishpaw

The apperentice came strutting into camp, having a small fish in her still kit-like jaws. She scampered enthusiastically and laid it down, bouncing to the side as if all Fishpaw's energy had to go somewhere. The young she-cat leaped about, running and leaping over who was known as Brokenfeather, whom was taking a nap. It earned her a startled hiss.

Runningfury

Runningfury yawned and rolled on his back, letting the dust get out the fleas and other pests while he relaxed in his funny position by the kill-pile. He smiled sheepishly as Applesong drew near, and he pawed the mouse she had been eyeing to her silently, ignoring the irritated grunt from Brokenfeather at Fishpaw. "Fishpaw's at it again. She could work from sunhigh to moonhigh and still not be tired." He said, mostly to start conversation.

River

The small loner she-cat watched the clan below at the tip of a maple tree, watching them with uncertainty. A dash of bravery showed on her face. "I'll do it today. I'll ask them!" She said quietly, as if to reassure herself. Which she didn't.

{{There has been a change in mentors. Ashpaw's mentor will be Brokenfeaher.}}

⚘ Ripplestar

Ripplestar turned away as he saw Heatherstrike approaching. He padded off to meet the she-cat halfway there. "Heatherstrike, just the cat I wanted to see." Ripplestar turned his gaze across the camp to Brokenfeather and Fishpaw. "I want you to take a dawn patrol. Bring Brokenfeather, Blacktalon, and their apprentices. Start by the stream and return when you reach the fallen log." he instructed, still gazing at Brokenfeather.

⚘ Heatherstrike

Heatherstrike nodded and dipped her head. "Of course, Ripplestar." She said respectfully and padded over to Brokenfeather first. The she-cat was dealing with Fishpaw, who had trampled her in excitement. "Brokenfeather, Fishpaw!" She called. "Ripplestar wants me to take out the dawn patrol. We're taking Blacktalon as well." The ginger she-cat informed the two, not stopping for a conversation or greetings.

⚘ Reedpaw

Reedpaw sat in the medicine den, laying in his old mentor's nest. He couldn't help but feel an extreme loneliness in his chest. Even though Ripplestar was to find a new medicine cat soon, Reedpaw still felt like he was on his own. He had a few moons of training, but he couldn't heal the clan by himself. Sighing, the young tom padded out of the medicine den and toward the fresh-kill pile, keeping to himself. The cold wind bit at him through his short pelt and he shivered.

[Silvene]

Applesong

Applesong smiled as Runningfury pawed the mouse towards her. "Thank you" She told the tom before settling herself beside him. Listening to him as he spoke of Fishpaw. "Yes" She agreed. "A good quality if learned to be contained. Something almost impossible for an apprentice." She spoke with a smile.

(Sorry it took so long, my kitten is trying to eat my icecream.)

[Flutterlicious]

Brokenfeather

Brokenfeather's gaze locked with Ripplestar's. Heat flushed to her softly pointed face and she moved her gaze to the apperentice den, a nervous lump in her throat. No one makes me feel like that. Why him? Why the most impossible tom? She shook her head. "Ashpaw! Patrol!" She called, padding to the kill-pile for a quick snack. She took one of her previously caught water-voles and settled down, eating quickly.

Fishpaw

Fishpaw let out a cheeky grin. She dashed to her mentor. "Come on, Brokentalon! Let's go, let's go!" She nipped her mentor's shoulder and dashed away to the entrance, pacing with nervous excitement.

Runningfury

Runningfury stared at the beautiful she-cat's face for a moment, taking a dreamy look. He soon realised what he was doing and awkwardly looking away, accidentally bumping the pile. It earned him a bump on the head from a giant rabbit. "Yowch." He complained, rubbing a paw on his head.

River

The small loner she-cat watched the clan below at the tip of a maple tree, watching them with uncertainty. A dash of bravery showed on her face. "I'll do it today. I'll ask them!" She said quietly, as if to reassure herself. Which she didn't.

[aamity]

⚘ Ripplestar

Ripplestar's gaze locked with Brokenfeather's. When she turned away, Ripplestar's heart was in a hurry. He shook his head, clearing his thoughts. Did the she-cat look... Embarrassed? Shrugging, Ripplestar padded over to an empty spot in the camp when he scented something. It was a cat! But it wasn't a Clan cat.... Ripplestar's fur stood on end as he looked around for the intruder.

⚘ Heatherstrike

Heatherstrike waited at the entrance of the camp, unaware of Ripplestar's find. She watched Brokenfeather gather Ashpaw, and Fishpaw call Blacktalon.

⚘ Reedpaw

Reedpaw's ears pricked when he heard "border patrol." He could use a walk, and his herb pile needed to be restored. Perhaps he'd join and pick herbs along the way. Bounding up to Fishpaw, he asked quietly. "Can I come with you? I need to collect a few things in the forest."

[Silvene]

Ashpaw

Ashpaw glanced up at Brokenfeather and nodded. Please not another hunting patrol! He begged silently as he watched his mentor eat. Impatiently waiting for the patrol to begin.

Applesong

Applesong stared at her paws as she saw the dreamy look he was giving her. Hoping the tom didn't see the smile on her face as she did. She had never had a tom look at her that way before, but she could guess what it meant. Putting that thought away she turned her head to him as he got bumped on the head. "Are you alright?" Applesong asked in her usual kind tone.

--M ɪ s ᴛ ʏ ᴘ ᴀ ᴡ ♀

Misty paw watched as the patrol left and walked over to Applesong, though not speaking, her mentor was already talking to Running fury. She glanced over at Ashpaw, giving a slight smile as if to say hello. They both hated hunting, she knew, and she wondered what Applesong had for her today. Her silver tail curled around her white paws as she sat, patiently waiting.
