Ashpaw
Ashpaw smiled. "It's my job too." She replied with a shrug. "Why was Rabbitstar freaking out about eagles? Has someone seen one?" Her voice was offhand, but she was nervous because she was always worried that someone might get hurt. She often reprimanded herself for shying away from that part of her job, but she despised seeing cats in pain.

Hawkbreeze paused for a second, obviously not wanting to say to much. "Uh, yes. Someone saw one earlier. I just warned Rabbitstar." She shifted her wright from paw to paw. "Anyhow, would you mind looking at something with me?"

[Duskshine]

Ashpaw
Ashpaw shrugged. If her mentor wanted to keep a secret, she figured there was probably a good reason. "You could just tell me to. I am your apprentice." She pointed out, slightly puzzled. "What is it?"

[Silxe]

"Alright, great! The ceremony will begin after a quick hunt in the forest. Thanks for helping out, Tigerfang!" Rabbitstar then did a double take and walked back to him. "Um, by the way, maybe you and Owlwhisker can take the next badger hunting patrol? I, er, heard a bird of prey was flying about, and... Well I, erm... You guys can handle it right?" She gave an embarrassed smile before stumbling off into the forest.

Tigerfang
Tigerfang nodded slowly, always surprised by what Rabbitstar did. She always seemed kind of... unpredictable, was probably the word he was looking for. He shrugged and padded over as Owlwhisker entered camp. "Hey, Owlwhisker!" he meowed as he approached. "Rabbitstar wants us to go on a badger hunt today, even though someone spotted some kind of bird of prey around. Or something like that. Anyway, if you're ready?" he was never certain how to treat the deputy. Sometimes he seemed like just another warrior, and sometimes he was almost as domineering as the leader, so he always treated the deputy respectfully, but sometimes danced on the edge of being friendly to the deputy, but soon enough needing to back off and be all respectful again. it frustrated him- he ought to have that power! But he would just have to bide his time. He couldn't let Owlwhisker die until he definitely had an apprentice- which would not be until later that day. The lovely political dance, he thought with an inward sigh. Still, the only thing apparent on his face was his usual outward friendliness.

As Rabbitstar was leaving camp to catch some forest prey, thoughts caught up to her. Why would she give up her favourite activity to the threat of some big ol' bird? Would anyone be hurt by it? Could she even stop one? What was a leader that couldn't stand up to a feathered foe? Before she knew it, she found herself lying on a mossy rock. She could hear the birds above her, tweeting, chirping, being right silly badger-brains. "By starclan, I hate birds." She thought out loud. She could never understand why other cats ate them, the feathered covered bad tasting winged rats. No, rats where better. Worse than forest birds where birds of prey. She remembered the terror of being stuck down by one. At the end of her ceremony, after receiving her nine lives, she recalled the cats speeding up at the end. Then, red claws ripped through starclan. A fearsome call filled the air. Pushed out of starclan, only to snap awake to a eagle attacking her. She recalled the pain well, but couldn't bear to think about it. Losing her life, only after just receiving it. She shook her head and stretched. What was she thinking? Sending cats with one life out by themselves. And besides, didn't Hawkbreeze say it was only on the far side of the hill? She had to protect her clan mates!
And besides, what if they caught a giant badger without her?
She ran her best to go and join them, padding along with a goofy grin on her face.

Hammerpaw(kit?) sat outside the apprentice den. "Pfft," he chuffed. "I can handle a bird of prey," he meowed. He had his typical blank face on, though the look was often considered one of boredom it could be very intimidating. He wondered who he would get for a mentor. He didn't want some weak cat. He felt a twinge of disgust as he remembered what Bladepaw had told him several sunrises ago; Don't get your hopes up brother. Half of them pity us, the other half of them are wary of us. Afterall, our parents died under... suspicious circumstances.

Bladepaw(kit?) sat beside her brother, their pelts almost blending and making them appear as a single cat. "Don't get ahead of yourself Hammer," she meowed in her husky and somewhat quiet voice. Sometimes she couldn't stand how full of himself her brother was. But after the curious death of their parents, Hammerpaw was the only family she had left. Bladepaw had hated her parents. Her father was a half kittypet named Mothswipe, and her mother was a rather nasty she-cat called Dunewhisker. She was glad they were dead.

Owlwhisker looked at Tgerfang and dropped his kill in the pile. "I thought I smelt something unusual today. It's rare for eagles here." He flicked his tail. "I'm up for it. We can get a badger, then deal with that eagle. Lets go." He turned and left camp again.

Tigerfang
Tigerfang dipped his head respectfully to the deputy and followed him out of camp, glad to be able to get some of the itch out of his paws. He wasn't at all nervous at the prospect of fighting both a badger and an eagle with only one other cat with him, but he would have been less nervous if he had been the only cat around that he felt he needed to protect. Once Hammerpaw was really his apprentice, though, he wouldn't care less if Owlwhisker died. More room for himself at the top. But for now, he needed Owlwhisker to live, and he was a bit on edge because most cats outside of the clan considered them to be stupid for deliberately hunting badgers. He could see their point of view, at least right then, but he had no reason to think that anything would go seriously wrong, as nothing had before then.

"Rabbitstar informed me of a large, odd flower growing next to her den. May you please check it out with me?" Hawkbreeze invited, flicking her tali to the five petaled flower, spreading like unsheathed claws.
