Darksky || she-cat, warrior, 27 moons | tagged: Tigerpaw, Darkpaw, in camp
"Easy there, Tigerpaw." Darksky chuckled, playing along and ducking out of the way of the flailing paws. "Why don't you get something to eat, and when you're done we can head out battle training?" She suggested, sweeping her tail in the direction of the fresh kill pile. Darksky was planning on an endurance session today and wanted Tigerpaw to start on a full belly to make it easier to focus. After all, a hungry belly hears no words. She herself had already eaten that morning while she waited on her brothers to wake up.
Darkpaw came over and captured Tigerpaw's attention so Darksky moved back to give them some room. She kept a curious eye on them, not having seen the two interact much before, and was vastly amused by the mock battle they started enacting. A flash of pride warmed her when she noticed Tigerpaw using evasive maneuvers, followed by an eye roll as her apprentice's monologue got her in trouble. It was nice to see the two interacting so positively. After the stress of the past few moons it was a welcoming sight to see the apprentices playing.
Russetheart || tom, warrior, 27 moons | tagged: Runningshadow + new warriors (mentioned), Softwing, center of camp
Russetheart bumped Softwing gently with his muzzle, smiling fondly at her. "Wanna go say congratulations to him?" He offered, knowing that she would know he meant her brother. Runningshadow. It really was a perfect name for the kid, he thought. All the names had been, and he was thrilled to see them all chatting excitedly together and with their former mentors. He remembered his own ceremony had been one of the most exciting events in his young life, standing there with both his siblings had meant the world to him.
Dawnlight || she-cat, medicine cat apprentice, 35 moons| tagged: Toadpelt + Wolfrunner + Raggedwood (mentioned), Sandtail, Rainjaw, camp
"Oh, good." Dawnlight breezed right over the awkwardness, trying to avoid tripping the both of the up further. She hadn't meant to startle her clanmate but at least she could get Sandtail supervision now. "I was hoping you could take Sandtail along with you today? Maybe run through some of his new moves with him. I've got to go out myself, otherwise I would do it, and Wolfrunner is occupied with Raggedwood right now." She sent a distasteful frown over in the direction of the medicine cat den. She certainly didn't envy Wolfrunner right now, more than happy to slip out of camp unnoticed by the unpleasant elder. It's not like Raggedwood would have even wanted to be treated by her anyways, and she found he wore her patience incredibly thin.
"He doesn't need much help really but I don't want him practicing alone until I'm positive his fits have died down." The golden she-cat explained, returning her attention with a much friendlier look to Rainjaw. "If you don't mind having him tag along, that'd be great, otherwise I'll see if I can find Toadpelt." She wasn't sure where her sister was at the moment, having not spotted her yet this morning. Dawnlight might go seek her out anyways, it had been a while since they'd hung out together and Toadpelt certainly had a good eye for spotting herbs.
Sandtail || tom, warrior, 27 moons | tagged: Darkpaw + Tigerpaw (mentioned), Rainjaw, Dawnlight, camp
Sandtail flicked an ear, hearing his name. He looked over his shoulder to see Dawnlight conversing with Rainjaw and almost immediately the warrior guessed what was going on. He got up slowly, taking his time and stretching as he walked over to join the two. "Will I be joining you today?" He asked, tipping his head to the side curiously. The pale ginger tom didn't really know Rainjaw all that well, they hadn't really hung out much before. Part of it was the age gap - by the time Sand and his siblings had been apprenticed Rainjaw had been preparing for his warrior assessment. But the other tom was friendly enough, and they had Amira as a mutual friend, so Sandtail figured they had that in common at least.
Part of him was nervous about having someone other than the medicine cats supervise him. Sandtail knew that the clan knew he was struggling with his health, but he didn't actually know what anyone thought about it. He was particularly aware of his depressive episode and felt his tail tip twitch anxiously at the reminder. He was embarrassed looking back at that, no warrior should have sulked that long when the clan needed everyone at their finest. Dawnlight was kind about it, reminding him that he couldn't even have participated in his daily chores anyways, but that wasn't all that encouraging either.
Now that the plants were all in bloom, not flowering as much anymore, Sandtail found he was having an easier time. Russetheart had theorized about the pollen being a trigger and Sandtail had felt his heart drop at the thought. Was this going to happen every NewLeaf? He wasn't looking forwards to that.
What he could look forwards to, however, was getting back into his role and proving himself worthy of the title of warrior. Sandtail noticed Darkpaw playing nearby and nodded over to her. "Is this a joint training session or are we going out just the two of us?" He asked, unsure if Darkpaw was joining her playmate, Tigerpaw, today or if Rainjaw already had plans for her.
