Creamflower drops the rabbit in front of Oxstar before perking her ears as she hears the sound of a bird chirping. She follows the noise and looks up to see its on a tree branch. She stealthily climbs up the tree and immediately snatches the bird from its perch, biting its neck. Upon turning around, she finds a nest full of bird eggs inside. She places the bird in the nest and picks up the nest before climbing back down the tree, careful not to break any of the eggs.

She thought for a moment, preparing to answer to the she-cat when Honeyleaf interrupted her "Oh just in time Honeyleaf, we were just thinking about going to hunt and asking if someone could want to join us...maybe this someone could be you? What do you say?" she meowed giving the older she-cat a smile.

He smiled at the elderly she-cat "rabbit huh? Well I don't di promises, but I try my best to find and catch some rabbit for you" he meowed thinking about her second question "Hm alright I can check if any of the Dawnflower's kits could want to hear some stories for you" he meowed to her gently.

She rolled her eyes and turned to her mentor "what are you talking about? even if I don't tell you what I smell doesn't mean I don't use it...with you, I don't think I will never become a warrior" she meowed lightly hissing 'why I got suck a mouse brain as a mentor...maybe I deserved it and the leader doesn't see me anything else than trashbag' she thought herself.

"Thanks," Mousepelt choked out. She hadn't said that word in moons and it came out more gruff than the old she-cat anticipated. "Now quite lollygagging and catch me some breakfast," she grumbled attempting to sound like her usual cranky self. She gave her paws a few licks and settled down for another nap.

Honeyleaf purred happily. "Sure. I'd love to," she said flicking her tail with energy. "It's been a while since I've been hunting. I keep getting put on patrols and then I'm too tired to hunt afterwards," she chuckled. "Hopefully I'm still as good as I used to be," she joked to the two younger warriors.

Quailpaw had been so absorbed in her catch that she didn't notice her mentor Sedgebird behind her. She flicked her tail gently from the tip, and set the squirrel down for her mentor to sniff at it. She pricked up her ears when her mentor brushed upon the warrior ceremony."Very well caught, Quailpaw. You know, you're due to have your assessment soon. You're about of warrior age now." Quailpaw blushed slightly, before touching Sedgebird's shoulder with her tailtip. "Thank you Sedgebird. You're a great teacher." She then added, "About the assessment, do you know...how it is going to work? Do I have to fight another cat or apprentice? Or will it be different?" She had heard from her father Snowthicket that the usual assessments involved a fight with another apprentice.

the tom stretched in his warm nest, stirring awake as beams of sunlight peaked through the cracks in the warrior's den. he yawned sitting up and lightly shaking the moss and the feathers off of his fur before giving it a lick to help it lie flat. his solo patrol the night before left him tired and made him sleep until noon. bramblewillow gave his fur a few more licks before delicately jumping to his paws and dashing out in the open. it'd be nice to sit out here and sun myself, but there are probably things to be done, he thought to himself as he trotted out in the open.

Sedgebird hesitated.
"Well, I'm not supposed to tell you a lot beforehand. But yes, I will probably have to test your battle skills against another apprentice. Possibly myself if no other apprentices are ready. And a big portion of it will be hunting, where- well, I can't tell you yet." She flicked her tail and shot Quailpaw a sheepish glance. She had almost said too much, and while she wanted to tell her apprentice, she knew it was inappropriate to share everything before the actual assessment.
"But don't worry. I don't think you'll have a problem. I knew cats that had to retake their assessment once or twice, and I think you're ahead of where they were during apprenticeship."

❆ Icepaw

8 moons ; tom ; mentor: eelfreckle ; tags: eelfreckle, sablefawn
location: forest

Icepaw nodded along to his mentor's words, and turned just in time to see the deputy disappearing into the trees. Well, she didn't waste any time. He thought, almost in annoyance. Even though the task was intimidating, Icepaw was up for the challenge. Dipping his head one last time to Eelfreckle, he took off into the forest in the general direction that Sablefawn had gone. Soon he realized that Eelfreckle had been right- it was difficult to track her scent through the snow. And this is only greenleaf snow. How will I fare in leafbare?
Determined not to give up, Icepaw slowed and eventually stopped in a small clearing. Sablefawn's scent was very faint now, and he felt frustrated, taking a second to sit down and give the forest around him a closer look. He didn't see a trace of the deputy's black pelt anywhere. A wave of embarrassment flooded over him as he realized he would have to tell Eelfreckle he'd failed. His ears laid flat against his head as he stood and turned, preparing to walk shamefully back to where he'd started.
And then, after standing, he noticed the indent his rump had made in the snow. The layer of white was so thin, he almost hadn't seen it. Ears twitching, he scanned the rest of the clearing floor, and then realized- there were pawprints in the snow! Icepaw leaped to his feet and bolted into the trees, following the pawprints. He had been so focused on Sablefawn's scent- how had he not thought to look down?
It only took a few heartbeats from there. Icepaw quickly came upon a tree that had a familiar black tail sticking out behind it. Purring, he trotted up to it and found Sablefawn on the other side.
"I did it!"

Redthaw tipped his head to the side, and then nodded.
"I like the idea of a theme. And Foxkit is a good name. Maybe we'll have a big ginger tom like me, and we can name him that!" He purred proudly.
"What about... hmm... Squirrelkit?" He asked Irislight eagerly. He crouched down and looked up at his mate playfully.

She listened to the little older she-cat, nodding "I know what you mean" she meowed taking another look around wondering if three warriors could be enough for a hunting patrol. Technically three could be good enough, but then she saw the young tom Bramblewillow getting out of the warrior's den "hey you? Do you want to join our little hunting patrol?" she called for him.

STARLINGFLAME
{tom- warrior- crush open- no apprentice- tags; Mousepelt}

He gave a small laugh at the older cat's ordering yet kind words "Of course...of course...see you later then" he meowed to her before made his leave toward the camp entrance. His eyes looked over to the group of she-cats there as he walked past them, little overhearing what they spoke, but didn't really get bothered by them.

he sighed inwardly as mintslash called out to him. guess the sunbathing will have to wait, bramblewillow thought to himself. "sure!" he called back to the she cat. he padded over to the group of cats gathered a purr in his throat with the idea of lying in the sun after some hard work. the brown tabby also thought that he'd get a proper chance to groom out his morning fur.

Honeyleaf purred contentedly as she started her way out of the camp. Though she didn't feel like it, she knew she was the oldest of the hunting party and had a feeling that she should take the lead. Braveheart, Mintslash, and Bramblewillow were all warriors of course, and Honeyleaf wasn't all that much older but she still felt like she should take care of the younger warriors. You just want an apprentice, that's all, she thought. Shaking away her thoughts, she asked the other warriors softly, "where would you guys like to hunt? I might know a place that's good but it's pretty close to Two-legs. If you're not scared we can go there," she teased lightheartedly. Her green eyes gleamed with a sense of mischief anybody could see.
