timbertail nodded, portraying a small smile and swishing his tail back and forth. he padded towards the exit of the camp, and, breathing in the fresh air, he checked to see if wildeye was following. timbertail then looked ahead of himself, adjusting to the wind and scenting for prey. catching the odor of a squirrel, he forgot about his hunting partner for a moment and set of to find his prey. after a couple heartbeats of walking, he caught sight of the furry creature. timbertail leveled his crouch, and, slowly slinking forward, found himself pouncing and sinking his claws into the helpless squirrel. he then turned around, remembering wildeye. "wildeye?" he called. "where are you? i caught a squirrel; it's quite plump."

transparent I look from alderstar to rowanflame. a new deputy! rowanflame is a nice cat, and he has worked hard for his position. i should go congratulate him.. I look over toward the new deputy and my shyness takes over. no, I would catch him later, when he would be less busy with the other cats. ever so silently, I pad into the forest. feeling watched, a move a bit further from camp. I hadn't even paid attention to patrols, which was, of course, quite normal for me, as I am not much of a be-social-and-work-with-others kind of molly. a small frog leaps out in front of my, although I ignore it. yeck! too slimy! I continue walking the border of our territory until I am right back where I started. ever so slowly clawing my way up a tree, I sit to think. nobody ever bothers me here, not usually. as I listen to the bird's song, the frog's croak, and the occasional cricket's chirp, I think of how cool it might be to become a deputy - or even a leader - one day. no, I would not be good enough. I will never be good enough for anything even remotely close to that..

warmth seeped through the den entrance of cedarclan's warrior den. the sun's rays gently caressed the pelts belonging to the cats of the clan. each feline separated from one another by individual sleeping nests, lined in the feathers of birds that they had caught only sunrises ago. occasionally a stray tail or paw would cross the invisible line between each cat deep in their slumber, but most slept in peace on good nights. recently, however, the clan had been troubled by the murder of two of their beloved clan-mates. found on the border of their very own clan, with no sign of the culprit.

one of the cats in particular, a pretty brown and white she-cat, was snuggled up in the corner of the den. her silky pelt hid the slightest tints of black and red, like a robin, and her green eyes represented the spring leaves in their prime. one of the molly's green orbs blinked open, closely followed by the other as she woke from her sleep. the attractive she-cat yawned and her jaws parted to reveal fangs capable of killing and tearing the flesh away from a full sized rabbit. the molly rose to her paws and stretched her back and legs before taking one last glance around the brightening den. her fellow warriors surrounded her and blocked the path between herself and the den entrance which made it more difficult to exit into the clearing.

robinfoot carefully picked her way across the stone floor, trying her best to avoid the tails of her clan-mates. she had nearly made it outside when a loud yowl interrupted the silence and startled her, causing her to stumble a bit and accidentally bump into one of her sleeping comrades, "oops! I am so sorry!" her quiet mew echoed amongst the den walls and then she quickly made her way over to the exit. robinfoot slipped through the entrance with ease and padded over to where the clan was gathering around the clan leader. alderstar looked confident as he stood on the top of the cedar stump, his pelt looked very well groomed and sleek, something that not most cats would notice. robinfoot took a spot over by the edge of the group as usual, her shyness showed greatly during social activities such as naming ceremonies. her leaf green gaze rested on her leader as he began the meeting and part of her was curious as to who would be the newly named deputy of cedarclan. hmm... scorchtuft would make a decent deputy. she thought of her friend, knowing that his determination and bravery would be good assets for a leadership position within the clan. when alderstar named rowanflame the deputy, robinfoot mentally clawed herself for not remembering the intelligent tom who was once her clan-mate when she had resides in leafclan. a fine choice by alderstar. she noted silently, though she gave a nod of approval and shouted his name once or twice.

lionpaw had just woken up as alderstar called for a clan meeting. his ginger fur was sticking out in all direction as he blinked his blue eyes and gazed around the apprentice den. the tom's jaws opened in a wide yawn and he stretched his muscles, feeling his energy seep into his body once more. lionpaw then started to groom his pelt so that he could look decent when he made an appearance before his clan. it only took a couple heartbeats before his golden pelt was smooth and well kept and the older apprentice rose to his paws to exit the den.

nearly the entire clan was out of their dens when lionpaw emerged but he wasn't worried being late because he could tell that the meeting hadn't been started just yet. right outside the den were at least half of his denmates, all of them waiting for the clan meeting to start. lionpaw listened carefully once alderstar began to speak and nodded approvingly at the choice of deputy. that will be me one day. he vowed before turning to his denmates, "morning everyone. how has your morning been? do you agree with the choice of deputy?"

mapleheart had been listening quietly to the announcement in the shaded corner of the camp. she sat still, observing the clan from a distance. it was easier for her to see all the cats without being swamped in the masses. the calico was contented with alderstar's choice. if a clan would need anything, it would be an intelligent deputy correct? her ear twitched with approval. she looked up at the morning sky, a breeze ruffling her groomed pelt. mapleheart opened her mouth to taste the air and she let out a quiet meow of happiness. the weather seemed perfect for a hunting patrol and as she looked to the fresh-kill pile, she thought it looked diminished. the she-cat itched to be out servicing the clan as she worked her claws in the dirt. she left her shady corner of the camp and stepped up closer to the clan, hoping the new deputy would see her apparent boredom and assign her a patrol.

ᴀʟᴅᴇʀsᴛᴀʀ
leader // @robinfoot

the proud leader fluttered his eyelids in an attempt to not fall asleep, as the sun's rays massaged his weary muscles and the hearty meal that sat in his stomach rocked his core, his chest rose and fell heavily, soaking in the pure blissfulness of the day. ears flat and tail flicking against the ground, alderstar laid in a half-propped up position, quietly and collectively observing the clan. through hooded eyes, his golden irises turned over to robinfoot, a warrior he knew to be demure, intelligent, and quiet, if not too quiet, as compared to the grandiose personality of alderstar himself. upon noticing her to be alone, the leader thought how he didn't mind socializing with his fellow clan members; in fact, he reveled in it, especially those whom he didn't get to hear from very often. perhaps, they'd have something interesting to say, something alderstar neglected too often.

sighing from his all-too comfortable position, the tom began to ready himself to raise to his paws, squeezing his eyes shut one last time before departing his resting spot. alas, with a heave, he rolled over onto his feet, claws sinking into the ground for a second to steady himself. with a hearty shake, the little debris that had collected itself on his pelt had been sent scattered, and he flicked his tail in satisfaction. turning a head gently towards robinfoot, he made his presence known, before lumbering, however gracefully, towards the she-cat, strips of sun streaking through his fur as he passed.

now looming over her, head down turned, alderstar gave a courtly smile, dipping his head in salutations towards the warrior. maintaining polite eye contact between their similarly yellow-stricken eyes, the tom began; "good morning robinfoot. how has your morning been?" allowing pleasantries to be exchanged, he continued, his liquid, baritone voice vibrating his chest, unbroken by the early hours nor his slight tiredness, and acting mindful to change his tone from formal to casual. "and, how has your mentoring been, with oddpaw? a spritely, wiry young cat that one is - i quite like him." he laughed; polar opposites, were robinfoot and oddpaw to alderstar. the leader had paired the two together in hopes they might build off of eachothers' meekness, and alderstar made a note to inquire if he may observe them on their next outings once robinfoot responded.

ᴍᴀʀᴛᴇɴғᴏᴏᴛ
warrior // @mapleheart
[sorry for the improv relations - let me know in the discussion thread if you have any ideas for martenfoot/mapleheart's relationship or interactions]

as alderstar relinquished the clan meeting, martenfoot drifted off towards the sidelines, a slight hunger beginning to take its stake against her. underneath the shadows here, her eyes fluttered from the position in which she stood, faced lowly, protecting itself from the light that so sought her out. before giving in to her temptations of prey, martenfoot stretched for a moment, reaching her claws paw-steps away from her chest, arching her back in finesse, and carefully danging her tail-tip over her head, her muscles relishing the relief they been given, exhausted from the previous nights and days of rigorous hunting. allowing a rapturous sign to escape, without any sense of inhibition, martenfoot immediately recoiled from her outstretched lengths, now condensed into her familiar version. shaking out her left paw, then her right, the devious soul finally allowed herself to seek out nourishment.

slanted eyes flicking towards the fresh-kill pile, martenfoot's ears perked, yet her vision was soon obscured by a calico she-cat - mapleheart. blinking to recognize the being, the lithe warrior grinned, mapleheart? ahh mapleheart. i don't think that cat can stand me! eyes scrutinizing the pretty cat, martenfoot aligned herself into a slight stalking position, staring at the older warrior for a time. rump high and head low, martenfoot remained in thought for brevity. admittedly, martenfoot hadn't spoken with the mottled cat often, but she knew her to be intelligent and collected - as martenfoot thought herself to be intelligent too, she recognized the inherent danger in conversing with a cat that 'knew what was up,' and understood mapleheart to be a least likely candidate for any outings or foolishness martenfoot wished to partake in. thus, she rather avoided mapleheart, yet,in the present, a certain, strange stir compelled martenfoot to make some sort of noise.

raising herself, martenfoot tentatively approached the warrior, paw-pads dainty and light, prancing about the dirt, while her tail wavered high overhead. once stopped, she cleared her throat and ran her paw over her muzzle, giving it a quick lick. "heya mapleheart." the young cat started, attempting to mask any semblance of ill intentions; surely, she had no clue where this interaction was going, but she needn't allow herself to become embittered so soon. "mmm... aah... so... what, are you, up to?" her voice peaked at the end of the sentence, genuine curiosity revealing itself, before being obscured by martenfoot's obviously distracted eyes, which found themselves switching from the calico to the fresh-kill pile. drat, martenfoot - you forgot to eat before starting this thing up! hopefully mapleheart has something interesting to say or this somehow ends in me getting to eat something.

jolted by the sudden speech, mapleheart jumped and turned. her pale green eyes were widened and her pupils were enlarged, the shock of martenfoot approaching her causing the calico to jump out of her fur. after glancing at martenfoot's tortoiseshell pelt, mapleheart's fur flattened. "you scared me out of my fur!" the she-cat began and quickly corrected her tone to not come off as rude and uninviting. "how are you this morning?" mapleheart had no intentions of seeming off-putting to the younger cat and actually craved socialization at this early in the morning. the two cats had never talked much and mapleheart had attributed this to the age difference between the two. the more she thought, mapleheart couldn't think of a reason why she and martenfoot hadn't even become acquaintances. after all, mapleheart wasn't the most social of all cats and definitely could use some friends to hang out around. she was sure the pretty tortoiseshell would be a great clanmate and friend once they got to know each other.

After speaking, Rowanflame was about to turn and start to gather the morning patrols, when Wildeye and Timbertail sauntered over to him and Wildeye asked if he'd like to join them for a celebratory hunt.

"Thank you, Wildeye, but I have duties that I have to attend to right now." Rowanflame said, turning down the offer graciously. He was just about to ask the tom if he would lead a hunting patrol, when Timbertail seemed to drag him off to their hunt. The orange tom chuckled lightly, and was about to scan the camp for someone else to lead a patrol when Alderstar spoke behind him Rowanflame turned to CedarClan's leader and dipped his head in greeting, before parting his maw to respond to his old friend.

"Thank you, Alderstar, you won't be disappointed." He vowed, though a smile was plastered on his ginger muzzle. Once Alderstar took his leave, Rowanflame turned to the task at hand and let his bright orange eyes scan the felines that were gathered within the camp. His gaze quickly found Martenfoot and Maplefheart conversing not too far off, and he padded over to the two mollies.

"Sorry to intrude, but Mapleheart, would you be willing to lead a hunting patrol for me? I'd like for you to take 2 other warriors as well." Rowanflame informed the older calico molly quickly. He planned to send out one other hunting patrol, as well as to lead a border patrol himself. He was leaning towards having Swiftclaw lead the second hunting patrol, but then he was left with the decision of who to bring with him on the border patrol.

Dapplepaw listened as Echopaw filled her in. Rowanflame was the new deputy? She thought to herself before voicing her opinion.

"Oh goody! Rowanflame will make a good deputy." Dapplepaw mewed excitedly. She turned, her powder blue eyes raking over the clan before picking out Rowanflame's orange tabby pelt already assigning patrols for the day. The fluffy white and grey molly turned back to the other apprentices and listened as they spoke about battle training. Dapplepaw wasn't a fan of battle training. Or hunting, for that matter, but it was the lesser of two evils. Now that she was thinking about her training, Dapplepaw's head swiveled towards the center of camp once again, until she managed to find her mentor near Robinfoot. The little apprentice, her long fur still sticking out in ever which way, flicked her tail in farewell to her fellow apprentices before bounding off towards Aspenwhisker.

"Aspenwhisker!" Dapplepaw called as she was halfway to her mentor and Robinfoot. Once she had reached the pair, Dapplepaw skidded to a stop and grinned. "What are we going to do today?"
The little gray and white molly asked excitedly. Her fur was still completely disheveled from sleep, but Dapplepaw didn't seem to care, or even notice all of the cowlicks that stuck out in different directions.

the warrior was stalking a plump looking mouse when he heard the call of his fellow warrior, timbertail. he ignored the call as he tensed his muscles for a leap, he pounced forward, his long limbs seemed to cause him trouble in his catch. he had placed too much force in his back legs and missed the mouse by an inch, giving it time to become aware of the danger and scurry off. the long legged warrior scoffed at himself and stood up to his full height, he trotted quietly over to timbertail who looks to have caught something, his long tail flicked. "i'm here, i'm here." he grumbled a little perking his large ears. he wished rowanflame had come but him being a deputy now, he wouldn't have time for that in the mornings.

the blonde ash tabby looked down at her bouncing apprentice, she chuckled softly at her excitement, "I was thinking of doing a bit of hunting training with oddpaw and robinfoot." she meowed, then turned to see that robinfoot had wandered off with out giving her an answer. She turned her head, "robbinfoot?!" she called out seeing the warrior had strayed a little ways off from her. she flicked her tail for dapplepaw to follow her. the molly bounded over to the older molly. "robinfoot," she meowed huffing a little. "I don't believe you heard my question?" she perked her ears at the warrior.

timbertail grinned sheepishly. "erm... sorry. thought i lost you there." he then bounded into the overgrowth, following the scent of an odd bird. he then smelled something rather suspicious - cat. timbertail had thought he and wildeye had been the only ones out of camp, but he supposed he was wrong. he finally found an end to the large patch of bushes to find a horrifying scene. in front of him, along with various scattered prey, were the corpses of 2 cats. taken aback, the sickened cat howled. looking around, he saw in the distance large birds - vultures, probably.
"wildeye! wildeye - get over here!" he cried, shaking on his paws. timbertail recognized the corpses - icenose and pineface, two reedclan cats. "who would do this..?" he asked under his breath.

alderstar's genteel focus was undisturbed by the sudden arrival of dapplepaw and aspenwhisker, the pair bounding towards, looking to robinfoot. from left to right, he craned his neck downwards to look at dapplepaw, the friendly little apprentice who followed her mentor's pawsteps. he smiled warmly at the young she-cat, before raising again to now face aspenwhisker, the amicable and talented tabby; meeting her hazel eyes, he too greeted her solely through body language, allowing his facial expressions to reveal his pleasant salutations. afterwards, he turned back to robinfoot, ears pricked, and chose not to speak another word; it seemed robinfoot to be swept up in other matters.

warrior // @mapleheart, rowanflame

martenfoot openly sniggered at mapleheart's greeting, relinquishing her stalked pose to meet her fellow warrior, grinning as she did, with head tilted. the warm welcome was rather unexpected, but thoroughly welcomed by martenfoot. perhaps, mapleheart wasn't such a stiff cat. however, before she could usher another reply, martenfoot's head swiveled to face rowanwhisker as he approached. ahh, the new, fiery deputy. she kept her mouth such as she observed the reddened tom, slightly hoping he wasn't here to berate her for... something.

once the deputy made his intentions known, martenfoot's face relaxed, and she turned towards mapleheart for her response, whiskers twitching in anticipation. a patrol? a hunting patrol, nonetheless? perhaps i will end this interaction with some food in my gut... paws beginning to itch, martenfoot hoped to accompany the calico warrior, whom she now felt considerably more comfortable with. perhaps, her hunting prowess would raise martenfoot's image in the eyes of the she-cat, for her current and established one was that of, well, foolery.
