Cinna | Tom | 8 moons | Loner | Bisexual
Cinna grinned and shook out his pelt, as if to rid himself from any nervous energy or hesitation. He had swum countless times before, but he felt far more anxious now than when he first set paw in the water. What if his technique was wrong? What if he splashed to much? Though he had never thought he splashed before, he had no clue as to what he looked like to others- he had taught himself, after all. He took a deep breath before sliding into the water after Ivystorm, calm seeping through him as he felt the water ripple and tug at his long fur. He let out a free peal of laughter as his limbs propelled him through the water, pushing him forward with ease and grace.
Emberstrike | She-cat | 24 moons | Warrior | Heteroflexible
Emberstrike sighed as she cool shade eased her hot temperature. The long morning of hunting had worn her down quite a bit, leaving her in a more neutral mood than usual. Her peaceful quiet was disturbed though, as a heavy paw collided with her stomach, effectively winding her right before a heavy weight tumbled down on top of her. Her eyes flew open and she let out a furious hiss, rolling out from under her attacker and leaping up to face the cat with claws unsheathed. Surprise flickered across her face though, as she saw Stormgaze pushing himself up from the ground, yelping an apology. She sighed, more out of relief to discover he was not a threat than anything else, though there was an edge of irritation to her gaze. She couldn't really blame him though- perhaps directly in front of the den was not the best place to settle for a nap. "Whatever." she muttered, flicking an ear. "My fault too." Though she said it casually, meeting his gaze with her own emerald green one for a moment before distracting herself with the trees above their heads, any onlooking cat would likely be shocked. It took a very calm mood to get Emberstrike to admit to doing anything wrong- she was clearly satisfied with how her day had been going.
Gingerpaw | She-cat | 9 moons | Apprentice | Bisexual
Gingerpaw raised an eyebrow as she watched with a sapphire gaze from a tree, observing the young, flame-colored tom's interactions with her leader and Ivystorm. Her surprise only grew as the tom entered the water with ease, despite her having seen him leaping gleefully through the trees from outside the territory. "The street kitty can swim!" she murmured in bemusement as she stood from her branch, turning back to leap through the trees towards the territory. Surely, her friends would want to hear about this particular happening. The ex-ThunderClan she-cat smirked to herself as she flew through the trees with ease- far more agile than that red cat. Sure, for RiverClan standards, he was pretty good. But ThunderClan had invented tree-hopping, and no matter who else tried to master it, you needed to be comfortable with the forest and trees to have any measure of success. She finished her journey by padding down a long, low branch and leaping down from it to land behind the apprentice's den, waiting a moment to make sure no one had seen before padding out and around with a causal appearance, glancing around for a familiar pelt.
(Any apprentice(s) are open to be Gingerpaw's friend(s), though they should be the type that either enjoy mischief or don't tattle xD)
