Duck ran a little while, making sure her brother could keep up. Then she stopped, (unknowingly just by the clan's border.) Duck looked back at her brother and sighed, "what are we going to do with you? That looks bad, I don't know how to heal." She nudged him towards a tree and ducked under the shade with him. She cleaned out his wound and shuffled close to her brother. "That was scary." She said with a nervous chuckle. She leaned her head against him, worrying that he would die any moment. Though, probably not, but it could get infected. She knew that, and she knew they had to get help. But from where? Her eyes widened as a little butterfly flew by. She quickly got up and chased after it cheekily, as if she were a kit.

Goose let out soft chuckle when Duck pushed him towards the tree and he sat down. he flinched when she cleaned out his wound "I'll be fine, It doesn't look that bad" he stated and grinned. He was not only trying to reassure her but himself as well. He tried to not show the searing pain he felt from the wound since he didn't want to worry his sister any more. He let out another soft chuckle when his sister got distracted by a butterfly and began following it. He pushed himself up into a standing position, flinching slightly as he put weight on the injured shoulder, and he started following after his sister. He didn't chase after her and instead walked just fast enough to keep her in his sight.

Duck jumped and reached her paws out at the butterfly, not exactly wanting to harm it. She paused as it flew high into the sky, and her mouth gaped open as a bird swooped down and caught it. "The butterfly!" She hissed as the bird flew off, probably satisfied with it's good catch. She sat down and pouted, "It's not fair! I'm hungry and I haven't eaten in so long, then some stupid badger stops us from hunting and injures you! Now we're lost and don't know where we are!" She turned back to look at Goose as she repeated, "It's not fair." She clawed at the earth, obviously upset.

Goose had to keep himself from laughing at the timing of the bird. He then frowned when he noticed his sister was upset and he caught up to her. He sat down next to her "Hey. We'll be fine, not like we had anywhere we were exactly heading anyways. Sure, that badger was a major set back but that doesn't mean we can't hunt now. surely there must be some prey here" he stated and sniffed the air. He got up once again and scented a rabbit and a few birds that they could attempt to catch "Now come on. Let's go catch some prey. Maybe we could make it a game and whoever catches prey first wins" He grinned and kept his one paw slightly off the ground so he didn't have to put pressure on the injured shoulder yet. He was exhausted but he knew they had to keep going in order to survive.

xxxxxdarkkit's hind paws drove right into her gut, stealing her breath away and throwing her off balance. swankit let up, stumbling off of her brother and giving a soft oof! when she hit the ground again. she scrambled to her paws, hoping to get up faster than darkkit would be able to, and crouched, tail lashing as she watched for his next move. her eyes did, however, slip off of darkkit for just a second, and in that moment, she spotted sparrowkit sitting next to dovebelly. swankit's ears perked up. "hey, sparrowkit!" she called, tensing to pounce again. "come help me take down darkkit!"

xxxxxit was heartening to see sparrowkit near her mother. he'd mostly just been brooding since he got here, and swankit was endlessly curious about him. she'd been told he lost his family, which swankit thought would be the worst thing that could happen to somebody. she loved her family more than anything, even if darkkit was a bit cocky sometimes. or playing dirty! she thought, stomach still aching from where his claws had scraped against her belly. she stole a quick glance towards sparrowkit again, hoping he would join in like she requested. swankit worried that he didn't like her very much, as all their interactions so far had seemed a bit oddly stilted to her, but she also thought he was probably lonely, too. so it seemed like the right thing to do to at least try to get him to play with them.

sagepaw gave a little shake, her coat fluffing up in the air. "yeah, hes mad," she thought to herself. but it was he first time she had slept in in a moon! she was getting better! "im okay," sagepaw replied shyly as she swung her tail back and forth in a friendly and open manner. her attitude never seemed to match her actions, but she was sincere in them both. she hadnt been an apprentice for too long, but shed grown to love stormwatcher like one of her own family, so it was okay.

☪ ── Long-haired silver and dark grey molly with amber eyes

The silver furred molly nodded as Velvetstar left. Now it was time for her to do her own duties. So, the silver furred molly padded down the stone stairs of the watchtower, her tail occasionally brushing them. Once, she had reached the camp she glanced around, noticing that patrols didn't seem to be needing to be assigned. A small group of cats were already leaving camp it seemed. Perhaps, she would go on a solo hunting trip. Everyone seemed to be taking care of themselves. Even though, Wolfshadow was confident in her skills she wanted to have some time to herself for awhile. She needed to think, to process this all. Sitting down in a shaded spot, and wrapping her tail around her paws she turned her gaze to the camp to watch her clanmates and think.

Warblersnow rose to his paws, his tail swaying slowly. "As long as everyone else is, I'm ready as well." he said, before slowly following after the other toms. He was glad to be helping out his clan, along with helping to make Larkwhisper feel better. His blue gaze scanned the camp, noticing that most of his clanmates were busy doing their own things. Perhaps, he would be able to go speak to some of them once he returned along with the patrol. Larkwhisper seemed to be glad that some of his clanmates were there for him though a little overwhelmed as well. The tom smiled as he followed after the others, ready to begin their patrol and hopefully have a good time hunting.

Rosepaw watched as the two tom's got themselves ready to join them. He was glad that Larkwhisper had decided to come along with them and that his mentor wouldn't be disappointed because the offer was turned down. His ears flicked as he glanced between the older toms and padded toward the entrance after his mentor. It was kinda strange to be the only apprentice of the group, but he didn't mind. He was glad he'd be able to go and do something instead of stay in camp. And besides, perhaps he could show off some hunting skills while he was at it. He'd certainly wouldn't mind doing so and impressing his mentor with two fellow warriors would certainly make him one step closer to becoming a warrior.

xxxxxcloudbelly dipped his head to larkwhisper with a small smile as the other tom's tail brushed his shoulder, also choosing not to vocally address the obvious subtext of his invitation. cloudbelly wasn't the type to actively try to conceal his intentions, especially when they were (in his eyes) good, so of course larkwhisper could see straight through him in that regard. he didn't mind; he was just glad that larkwhisper seemed to appreciate it, instead of shutting them all out.

xxxxxhis gaze passed over wolfshadow as they left camp, and he gave her a small nod of acknowledgement as well. cloudbelly couldn't bring himself to feel much resentment towards her; she'd seemed as shocked as the rest of them when velvetstar had made the announcement, and really, she seemed like she'd make a strong deputy. honestly, aside from being worried about larkwhisper, cloudbelly's only concern was that the leading she-cats were actually a little too strong, or at least, too focused on being strong. velvetstar's clear ambition for the clan was a bit intimidating, and he'd by lying if he said he wasn't worried about what her coming adjustments would entail. he didn't think being kind or soft was inherently weak, so hopefully velvetstar wouldn't try to push them too far. they were warriors, but they were also a family. ultimately, he supposed it was far too early to tell. perhaps the revisions would indeed make them stronger—and closer, or more unified, as well. as long as it didn't drive the clan further apart, cloudbelly wanted to be open to change.

xxxxx"it's actually really nice out," he commented as the small patrol started heading away from the castle. "not too hot, a nice breeze... i bet a ton of rabbits will be out enjoying it, too."

xxxxxhe regarded sagepaw carefully as she claimed to be fine, but elected to take her word for it. "alright, good," he replied, giving a satisfied nod. "you should get something to eat if you're hungry. i'd like to head out sometime today and try to find some fresh thyme." stormwatcher didn't know for sure if they'd need it or not, but it wouldn't surprise him if cats felt a bit nervous in the coming days; he'd rather be safe and collect some extra just in case, as opposed to having to rely on poppy seeds to help calm someone down. drowsiness wasn't always an appealing side effect, after all.

xxxxx"we also need to check in with riverpaw and sparrowkit at some point," he added, casting another glance towards the nursery. "i think any injuries they sustained in the fire are probably okay by now; i'm more focused on seeing how their mental states are doing." it sounded like they'd lost everything but each other—he was certain they were dealing with immense amounts of pain and grief. stormwatcher just hoped they'd be willing to open up to him, or to sagepaw; they were both there to help, but it was hard to do that if someone refused to accept it.

larkwhisper allowed his mind to wander as the patrol advanced to the clan's moorland territory. "hm. i could go for a rabbit." the tom murmured softly in reply to cloudbelly, realizing how long it had been since he consumed a meal. whatever prey he caught, though, he'd end up giving to one of the elders most likely. probably his mother, twilighthaze, despite her apathy towards his current situation. larkwhisper breathed in the sweet scent of the long grass, trying to not think about his family.

as velvetstar scanned the clearing for her apprentice, she noticed one of the warriors approaching. the pastel calico molly dipped her head politely to featherthroat, her ears swiveling towards the molly as she asked velvetstar a simple question. though she probably would've said 'no' anyways due to the newness of the apprentice and the desire to get to know her better with minimal pressure, the leader couldn't find riverpaw. her scent was faint in the camp. she had already checked the apprentice den, and riverpaw's brother was visible, so she knew the new apprentice wasn't with him.

"she doesn't appear to be in camp. i'm going to go find her - it would be better off if her first training session didn't involve another apprentice. enjoy your training." the she-cat said promptly before turning and heading out of the camp, scenting the air for any trace of riverpaw.

[waiting on riverpaw for new reply]

upon hearing a questioning young voice, the she-cat scented the air. she recognized the scent of dovebelly and assumed this was one of her kits coming to disturb her peace. twilighthaze pondered whether or not to simply tell the kit to go away. of course that she-cat can't keep track of her kits. the elder thought, listening to the nearby conversation between dovebelly and kestreltail. i guess i might as well give this kit some good advice, since his mother is clearly too preoccupied.

"good warriors do what's best for their clan no matter the consequences." twilighthaze spoke sternly, crossing her front paws. "they stand up for what they believe in. they are strong, they put their clan first."

though distracted by kestreltail, dovebelly wanted to ensure sparrowkit knew he was welcome around her. she couldn't imagine what he was going through. "i'm here if you need anything." dovebelly said as the kit approached, hoping her kits would offer to include him in their play. she kept an eye on darkkit, hoping he wouldn't take their game any further. turning towards kestreltail, dovebelly began to think about the clan again and her worry returned. she let out a soft purr of gratitude for the rabbit.

"thank you so much." the white she-cat purred, taking a bite before replying to kestreltail. "i'm probably contributing to that tenseness.." dovebelly admitted with a bit of embarassment. "i just want what's best for the future of the clan, and my kits, so i'm not so sure about what velvetstar has planned..." dovebelly was very worried. but she didn't want to say this in front of kestreltail, or her kits.

Duck sniffled softly and stood up. She smiled and gave her brother an affectionate lick on the face. She then rushed off into the undergrowth whilst chanting, "I'm gonna win! I'm gonna win!" She stood still and pricked her ears, when hearing nothing, she moved again. Just as she did, she just stepped over a mouse. It let out a terrified shriek and rushed off before she could go after it. "Woops!" She giggled and glanced back to see if her brother was keeping up. She then continued. Looking up a tree, she spotted a sleeping thrush. She let out a small purr and climbed the tree slowly.

Lightpaw store at his mentor for a few seconds. Unsure what to do, he wasn't used to this. Me lead? I would never lead... He glanced around, then flicked his ears. By now the animals sureley would be coming out of their burrows. They would have to get them before the other animals hidden in the forest could. He looked back into Dawnpounce's eyes, then signed his reply. 'We should hunt before big animals come, and get good prey for the clan. If we do come across predators, we shouldn't interact with them, stay out of harm's way.' He smiled shyly, maybe this could be fun. 'Now let's go, the other day during a hunt, we crossed a clearing. I swear I smelt rabbit or something, but nobody would look at me, so I couldn't tell them!'
