rainpaw scambered to catch up with rabbitsplash and scartalon, when she reached the pair, she happily trotted beside her mentor as they left camp. rainpaw was careful to force scartalon to walk behind her. rainpaw kicked up dust into the older she-cat's face as she walked. purring as she nourished rabbitsplash's lick on her forehead. so where are we going to go? rainpaw asked, blinking angelically at her mentor. in truth, rainpaw was jealous of scartalon. she wished she could be a warrior, or older than she was.

With a great sigh, Silverfeather shook her head. At first, I felt that perhaps we should. But with a leaf-bare such as this, we can't afford to be stirring up trouble when tensions are already so high. But we'll stay alert, and watch the clan carefully." The fluffy she-cat rose to her paws and shook out her pelt. The sun was climbing, and days were short this time of year. "But enough of this, I need you to collect some catnip, to be prepared for whitecough if it comes. This leaf-bare has been especially unforgiving and it can't hurt being prepared. Do you remember the gully I showed you a few sunrises ago where it grows?"

The large she-cat bit back a few sharp words to the apprentice while she trotted along behind her and her mentor. She had no patience for self important young cats. Already, half the clan regarded her with cold demeanors and hostile glares. For what? The way she looked? Losing an eye made her no less of a warrior. Despite Rainpaw's attempts to get under her fur, Scartalon held her head high and pretended she hadn't even noticed the dust. She wouldn't give Rainpaw the satisfaction. She had a clan to feed.
While they walked, the gentle patter of paws on soil made Scartalon freeze mid-step and drop low to the ground. Her jaws parted, letting the scent of her prey bathe her tongue and guide her to it's source. She nearly spat in frustration, for the scent came from her left side. The great she-cat swung her head subtly while twitching her ears to and fro, using sound alone to find the small body amongst the ferns. It's skittering was unmistakeable. A few heartbeats passed before she leaped, pinning the vole neatly beneath her paws and finishing it with a swift bite.

The tiny tom resumed his position in the mouth of the nursery, shivering against the bitterly cold wind.

Stifling a yawn, Troutstar nodded at both of them.
"That's a good idea, why don't the both of you go ahead and get started on a hunting patrol? Let me know if you can't find anyone else to join you and I think I shall consider," he mewed as he extended his nose out to touch Dapplemask's in a sweet and delicate greeting. He turned his head over to Tigertalon, analyzing the tom for a moment before speaking up again. "I hope that you're right, Tigertalon. I hope we can get through this because it for sure isn't going to be easy." With a sigh, Troutstar turned his head over toward the fresh-kill pile, eyeing it painfully as a rumble of hunger gripped his belly. Clenching his teeth, he turned around to the two cats.

"Maybe...I will join you, if that's okay?" He asked awkwardly, realizing if he didn't eat that he wouldn't be able to function or help his clan, and especially unable to feed his clan.

Mossypaw had to think for a second. She remembered being told where it was. After a heartbeat, she remembered where the gully was. "I do," she meowed. "Wait, am I going to be getting the catnip alone?" Mossypaw's eyes glimmered. She didn't exactly mind going out for herbs herself, as she was confident in her abilities. However, she usually went with Silverfeather to find them. She was almost kind of excited to know that she may get trusted to go find herbs herself.

RABBITSPLASH | tom | warrior | tags - scartalon & rainpaw
Rabbitsplash purred towards his apprentice. "You go wherever you feel you will find the most prey--just close enough I can keep an eye on you in case you run into anything." He smiled at her sweetly as a glimmer entered his soft eyes. "I have complete confidence in your hunting skills. You have proven yourself to be a talented little huntress." He playfully bumped her shoulder with his nose before turning his attention towards Scartalon. "Well look at that! Scartalon got the first catch!" He grinned playfully now, "Now we gotta see who gets the fattest catch!" He quietly crept forward, sometimes pausing to reinforce the clans scent against a tree or two before continuing the hunt.

DAPPPLEMASK | she-cat | warrior | tags - troutstar & tigertalon
Dapplemask released a purr as her leader gently nuzzled her. She definitely attempted to stop the warming of her cheeks as she nodded her head at the toms. "Perfect idea, perhaps we should hunt near that stream that rarely dries up. Prey needs to drink, and we will be there to catch them when they do." She grinned playfully before looking to her deputy. He had a calculating expression on his face, and Dapplemask found it uncomfortable when it was trained on her. Luckily he was looking at Troutstar now with an expression she simply couldn't identify. Either he was in love with the other tom... Or he wanted to sink his claws in him. She shivered in hopes that it was the latter. She stretched out her limbs and began to head towards the entrance of the camp.

TIGERTALON | tom | deputy | tags - troutstar & dapplemask
Tigertalon watched the events unfold between the two cats before him with a glimmer of interest in his eyes. "Fantastic idea Dapplemask, as I believe the other hunting group headed towards the tall trees." He nodded his head towards Troutstar and seemed to notice the look of hunger on his face. "The more the better." He then grinned playfully, "though you should probably eat the first thing we catch." He turned to follow Dapplemask towards the entrance.

Troutstar nodded to both of the cats, flicking his tail in embarrassment that Tigertalon was able to pick up on him being hungry. Pushing past the two cats, he glanced around the camp, debating if he should tell any other cat that he was going to head out with the deputy and a fine warrior. His eyes glazed across the nursery and his mind instantly thought of Whisperkit. Poor fuzzball...he thought sorrowfully, thinking about how lonely it must be to live life without any real cat to call family. He made a mental promise to himself to check up on him at some point today. Turning his head back to his clan-mates, he flicked his ears over towards the medicine-cats' den.

"I think it would probably be a wise decision to let someone know where we are all headed off to, just in case something happens when we are gone," he started, now padding in the direction to the den. "I'm going to go let the medicine cats know and I'll be right back!"

Now dashing forward, Troutstar reached the entrance of the den and the bitter-sweet smell of dried herbs hit his nose instantly. He carefully crept in with his head low, looking around cautiously. Something about the air seemed... off. He tried to not let it get to him, figuring it was nothing more than his hunger messing around with his mind. Shaking his head, he blinked to try and refocused himself.

"Hello? Is anyone in here?" He mewed, awaiting a response.

Silverfeather gave a gentle purr of amusement and gave her apprentice a reassuring lick on her head. "I believe you've learned enough to keep yourself safe while collecting herbs. You can do this." Silverfearther could easily see the excited glow in Mossypaw's eyes, and it reminded her of a time when she herself was sent out alone to collect herbs for the first time. It was different for her however, as she had been a warrior before she was a medicine cat. She had been out of camp by herself, but leaving camp alone with the mission to collect herbs to heal her clan... that was a specific kind of thrill, and it had filled her with pride. Troutstar's call made the she-cat's ears twitch in surprise. We are in here Troutstar, what can we do for you?"

Scartalon's eyes flashed with the heat of a challenge. She hadn't thought she would be one to stoop so low as to feel the need to outcompete an apprentice, but here she was. She wouldn't tolerate the disrespect of someone practically half her age. She only wished that she knew what she'd done to incur Rainpaw's contempt. Despite her inward frustration however, she remained calm and she nodded to the other warrior. Without another word, she turned into the trees to leave the apprentice with her mentor, and find a few more pieces of freshkill.

Troutstar
Tags: Tigertalon, Dapplemask, Silverfeather, (Mention of Mossypaw)

Poking his head through the canopy of the medicine-cats' den, Troutstar padded in and dipped his head to the medicine cat and her apprentice. Feeling his heart beat a little in his chest upon seeing Silverfeather, he dipped his head respectfully toward her before speaking. "I've decided to go hunting with Dapplemask with Tigertalon. I could use the exercise and it would probably be a good idea for me to get away from the camp a little bit. I just wanted to let someone know that we would be gone in case anything happens," he began, awkwardly explaining the situation. He would look at her in the eyes for a little bit and then glance away as he spoke, feeling a little nervous about talking to the pretty she-cat. "So, uh, I guess that means I'm kind of putting you in charge for a little bit. We shouldn't be out too long though, just erm..." he paused. Troutstar hesitated and then proceeded to stare at his paws, gently pushing a tiny pebble around in the dirt. "Yeah, I should probably get going. I don't wanna keep them waiting..."

Troutstar smiled and winked at Mossypaw before looking at Silverfeather once more ad backing out of the den, running straight into the side of it. Startled from not realizing how close he was to hitting it in the first place, he jumped up and turned out, losing his balance and landing clumsily on his side. Realizing how much of a fool he now looked, he glanced over at the two medicine cats in shock, let out an embarrassed chuckle, and quickly scrambled up to his paws.

"Whoopsites," he mewed before dashing out as fast as his paws could carry him, almost tripping on his tail in the act of it all. He headed back toward his tiny hunting patrol, hoping they didn't see everything that just occurred or notice how humiliated he was feeling. Once Troutstar reached the two cats he stopped to give himself a couple of quick licks on the thigh and shake himself out of all any dust or dirt that might have clung to his silvery fur after his fumble.

"Are we all ready to head out?"

RABBITSPLASH // tom / warrior / tags - scartalon , rainpaw
Rabbitsplash made sure to be as quiet as he could as he headed further into the forest with the intent to kill prey. To his delight, it seemed he wouldn't have to search very long, for soon he noticed a frail looking chipmunk rustling about nearby. The only issue? It was close to a bush that was covered in needle-like twigs. He grimaced inwardly, but decided that feeding his clan was that important to him. He soon leapt, but a small miscalculation had him brushing against the bush while managing to clasp the chipmunk between his teeth. He gave a short hiss and stepped away from the bush. His right shoulder now ached a bit where the leaves had got him, but he was otherwise fine and he had caught a small meal. He began to glance around to see if he could catch sight of Rainpaw.

DAPPLEMASK \\ she-cat / warrior / tags - tigertalon , troutstar
Dapplemask grinned playfully when she noticed the swooned appearance the tom had when he exited the medicine cats den. She didn't dare comment on it, but it sure made her internally giggle. She waved her tail and excitedly exclaimed. "We sure are!" With that, she headed out, brushing her flanks against the nearby vegetation to increase the clan scent.

TIGERTALON // tom \ deputy \ tags - dapplemask , troutstar
Tigertalon, unlike Dapplemask, was a bit more obvious and felt no interest in hiding what we witnessed. "You appear a little... Disoriented." He purred the words with an almost cat-like wink before the tabby turned on his paws and followed Dapplemask. He simply enjoyed teasing Troutstar, he almost considered him a friend at times. It was both entertaining and worrisome to see him get wooed by other felines.

rainpaw padded away from her mentor. i'll show that she-cat who can catch more prey and impress rabbitsplash. she stuck her muzzle in the ear, the sharp smell of something she didn't recognize stung the inside of her nose. it must be some sort of prey! rainpaw thought as she tracked the smell. rainpaw kept her nose down while she was following the smell. she wasn't looking where she was going and collided head first with a twoleg fence. i guess i smelt twoleg... why was there twoleg in our camp? i should investigate! then, rabbitsplash will be so proud of me! rainpaw stuck her tail and up and bunched up her muscles. she jumped onto the fence and back down the other side. rainpaw landed on soft spongy grass. it was damp from dew and well cut. rainpaw padded into the middle of the grass patch. a bark rang through the garden, rainpaw froze, her fur bristled. she slowly lifted her head. a shadow loomed over her. it was tied to a tree, but rainpaw could feel it's hot breath on her face, she could hear it's snapping teeth as it tried to catch cat fur. she felt drops of the dog's saliva on her head, it dripped down her face, covering her eyes.
