Falconstream was exhausted. As soon as she had returned to camp after a very fruitless hunting trip, she had gotten straight to work clearing rubble from camp. It felt like she had been carrying rocks back and forth for moons, judging by the way she could taste nothing else at this point. Her pelt was so covered in dust and filth that she felt she was beyond grooming. Fortunately, she did not mind getting wet, unlike many of her clanmates. A dip in the stream would be a preferable way to clean herself off, but that would have to wait until this seemingly endless job was done.
With a sigh, Falconstream bent and grasped yet another stone between her teeth and headed out of camp to leave it in the growing pile outside. She passed the prey pile as she walked, noting several cats' decisions to have dinner. Falconstream had to admit that a break and some food both sounded lovely. She felt quite tempted to follow suit as soon as she got rid of the rock between her jaws.

Today had been quite the adventure. It was far more of an adventure than Tansyflower had ever wanted. That much was certain, but there was nothing to be done except to carry on. Tragedies happened. That was just part of life. Complaining about it would help no one. So, the elder did the best she could to carry on. At the moment, that involved having settled herself at the edge of the stream that ran through camp. She dangled for forepaws into the stream, letting the cool, refreshing water soak her feet. It came as a welcome comfort, even if her feet were not the part of her that needed relief the most. She was still nursing a sore throat from inhaling all the dust earlier. Fortunately, it felt no worse than newleaf allergies. Tansyflower had Frostpaw's quick thinking to thank for that. She could hardly imagine what might have happened if she had gotten lost in the dust after the explosion and had to breath in all that mess for an extended period. It was a seemingly simple action, but that day, the apprentice had thoroughly won over Tansyflower. On that topic, the elder's little hero was still nowhere to be seen, and she was starting to worry. The last she could remember seeing of him was encouraging him to go and help where he could. After that, she had lost track of Frostpaw in the chaos. If he did not return soon, she would just have to yell at someone to go look for him. StarClan knows she would do it herself, if she could. Sending someone in her place was the next best thing.

xxxthe she-cat was mildly alarmed by the way he ate, with a paw much larger than her own slapping down against the limp rabbit, watching him tear out a piece of the meat and chew. well.. it wasn't that bad. perhaps she was just overreacting a little - her mind tended to get a little jumpy when she hadn't gotten much rest. she could feel his eyes watching her as he meowed deeply in response to her question, edging her curious gaze over to his presence and flicking her ears up in interest. that was true. clan guests usually weren't treated with having to do the duties of a warrior or apprentice - they were more respected in the conditions of elders. they didn't usually get visitors, although there seemed to be a greater increase in the amount of rogues discovered among their borders. but very few of the members of her clan had bothered to venture beyond that area, as tobias had mentioned where he lived. he was some what like a nomad, travelers that would always keep moving in patterns with a single indulge towards food, shelter, and survival. "that's nice - i'm glad you find us interesting. i've never traveled far beyond the borders before, everyone tells us it's extremely dangerous." she mewed in all honesty, nodding as an acknowledgement towards the offered rabbit. she didn't want to reveal the weakness of her clan, but it wasn't like he was going to infiltrate them or something. besides, these were things he could probably tell from the way the clan elders acted towards outgoing and incoming border and hunting patrols, yelling warnings at times from the place they basked. she bent her neck slightly, taking a small bite of the animal, her mouth watering as she bit into the juicy flesh.
xxx"oh starclan.. that's good.." she mumbled aloud, eyes fluttering closed in pleasure. it felt like she hadn't eaten in years, the way the flavor danced across her tongue. not wanting to get ahead of her new friend, she took another bite of her prey before pushing it back in his direction. she didn't share prey often with anyone, but there was something about eating and talking, sharing stories under the stars that was starting to appeal to her. "you must have seen some things out there.. have you seen two-legs?" she knew some cats (mostly rogue and kittypet lingo) referred to them as no-furs, but to be fair, she didn't know much about him. only that he had good intentions, was a friendly cat, and one who had traveled far and seen the things she wanted to. from what her clanmates told her, two-legs were terrible. they rode around in the bellies of big monsters, that had claimed the lives of one of her clanmates a long time ago, when she was a kit. and that they disgraced all nature, with their waste disposal and loud sticks that sometimes rang out through their peaceful forest, shattering the silence with ear-popping bangs.

Orchidpaw carried her prey in her mouth and made her way back to her mentor. She nearly dropped her prey when a bird randomly flew onto a branch beside her. She narrowed her eyes. She better catch it.
She buried the prey quickly and dropped into a hunting pose. The gray-blue apprentice bunched up her muscules and leaped. Her long legs quickly reached the branch. The bird squaked and tried to fly away, but she reached out her paw and hooked her claws on it's brown wings. She pulled it closer and killed it.
The she-cat's pale green eyes flitted around as she sat, perched at the top of a tree. She looked down at the thrush, suddenly feeling a longing to eat it, where she could observe the world. She shook her head. No, that woul definitely delay her warrior ceremony. She climbed down from the tree and unburied her other prey. "I'm back!" She called as she reached her mentor.

Vixennight thought about it for a second. Her golden gaze searched the camp for a perfectly healthy cat, but there were none. "I suppose...It's terribly sad. They may never hunt or fight again." She guessed that Snowfeather may not react well to Vixennight's belief of the warrior duty, so she left that part out. She let her ears twitch, as if counting along with an unheard melody. It was a habit she'd had since she was a kit. They were counting to a bird song she had replayd inside her mind. How funny, a trapped bird inside her mind. That's definitely what it felt like.

Dawncloud
Dawncloud looked up from grooming her paws as Orchidpaw approached her. Her whiskers twitched in amusement, noticing that her apprentice's hunting had been quite successful. "Well done!" Dawncloud mewed happily. "Let's go back and eat! You deserve to fill that belly of yours." With a happy flick of her tail, Dawncloud, grabbed up her prey in her mouth and began padding back to the camp. She was glad that Orchidpaw had improved and that training her paws to be softer when she walked actually worked. Orchidpaw was her first apprentice, and although Dawncloud worked very well with younger cats, the beginning of her mentorship was still a learning experience. At first she didn't know what to start with or the best way to teach. She was happy she had found something that worked for Orchidpaw, though, and was proud of her apprentice's success.

She pushed through the entrance of the camp and trotted over to the freshkill pile. She deposited her sparrow, mouse, and scrawny squirrel and dipped her head to her apprentice before padding off with a mouse to go eat with her fellow warriors. She knew Orchidpaw didn't like being fussed over, so she didn't want to praise her to the point of being annoying.

Cricketpaw - tags: Ratscar
Cricketpaw looked up from the prey was eating and glanced around. Her gaze landed on Ratscar who appeared to be grooming his paws. However, as she lingered on his body language she noticed he was slightly tensed. She waited until she caught his gaze, and after he was don talking to the other cats, and flicked her tail in an offer for him to come join her and Raingaze.

Ratscar noticed the tail flick, and a wave of relief washed over him. He needed the opportunity to distract himself. He haunched his shoulders and slowly approached the apprentice. He settled down next to her, looking at her with a questioning expression. “What is it this time? Did you get in trouble? I’m not bailing you out if you did. You apprentices are always going off the walls.” He hissed coldly. Even though he sounded annoyed and fed up, his body language portrayed the joy he felt, brought on by the fact he could now interact with another cat.

[RobinWing.]

Cricketpaw
Her ears went back slightly at his harsh approach, but she quickly regained her optimistic confidence. "Don't get your whiskers so twisted," she purred, blinking at him. The tabby she-cat nosed part of her mouse towards him and nodded to it. "Want some? I don't think any of us has had the chance to really eat all day. A few bites might hold you over until cats finally go to their dens and get out of your fur." She stretched out her goofy-looking long legs in front of her a let out a small yawn. She licked a tuft of her chest fur back into place and looked back up at Raingaze who was still crunching on a bird. She dabbed at one of the feathers that had fallen off, pushing it around and patting at it with sheathed paws.

Coalpaw's eyes lingered on the fresh-kill pile, tempted to swipe a piece as his stomach rumbled. He hadn't even thought of his stomach since the events of the morning. He'd been too focused on hunting and trying to dig the apprentice's den out of the rubble. He was sure he should go out on his own, and that he should look for some prey to bring back before he tried to take anything off the pile. He let out a sigh, remaining curled up just outside the apprentice's den. He was nervous about going back in after almost being smothered and destroyed by the rubble. These things would just take some time, he supposed.

Nodding to her mentor, Bunnypaw looked around the dark cave. Her eyes glittered with unease and her paws itched with the want to get out of here. Brightnoise had said she could go if she wanted, plus had everycat come back to camp? She wasn't certain, so maybe she could look for them out there. Ratscar looked busy though, he was talking to one of her fellow apprentices. Bunnypaw wasn't actually sure who, she had to admit she didn't make a habit of talking to other cats her age. Some sort of bug floated into her mind, though, maybe their name had something to do with that?

Dismissing it, she narrowed her eyes, trying to decide who to get to go with her. Dawncloud seemed not to be busy - she was eating, but she'd be done soon. And Coalpaw also seemed to be awake, for some reason. Had he been injured? She guessed he had, and was probably full of anxiety now. He could come too. It would be good for him.

She padded slowly towards Dawncloud, tail swishing in the dust that still covered the earth. "Excuse me," she mumbled, before shaking her head. "Um, wait, no." She paused, feeling her ears grow hot. "Ah - sorry, I meant, can you come with me? Brightnoise said no going out alone, and I can't sleep, and there's borage? Um, I don't know, Coalpaw could come maybe?" It all came out in a rush, with a tail twitch towards the curled up tom.]

Ears flicking anxiously, they sat watching Brightnoise. It didn't seem to be a good time to talk to the medicine cat after all- she was talking with one of the new cats, Jackdawpounce had absolutely no idea what their name was. They looked like they were carrying kits, though, so Brightnoise was sure to be preoccupied for a while. I'll talk to her later, they promised themself, glancing past the medicine cat to see Ratscar talking to an apprentice. The lanky Cricketpaw seemed to be holding his attention for the moment as well.

A frown flickered across their face - they couldn't think of anyone else to converse with. Not that they could really have a conversation anyway. And Ratscar wouldn't want to talk to them. He was the deputy for StarClan's sake! Their fur prickled in annoyance, tail lashing around one hind leg. Turning away, they made their way to the edge of the cave, curling up tightly against the cold stone. They blinked slowly, watching Ratscar for a moment before tucking their muzzle underneath a front paw.

Nope. There was no way they could sleep tonight. That explosion kept running through their mind: the roaring noise, the constant ringing in their ears, and then silence. And blood. They realized with a jolt there was still blood staining the fur around their ears, dried and hidden in their black fur. Their leaf-green eyes flickered, and they began to lap at the reddish patches on their head and shoulders.

Timber watched as the medicine cat praised a young apprentice, explaining that she’s done well and that if the apprentice felt like it, she could go out herb hunting with a clanmate. The molly huffed as she watched the apprentice anxiously pad away to speak to another cat. Though her soft blue gaze was drawn back to Brightnoise as she awaited an answer.
Timber offered the brown and white tabby molly an understanding nod. Despite the understanding nod, Timber doesn’t know what it’s like to be so worried about her own clanmates, while her rogue clan was close-knit, everyone kinda did their own thing. If a cat was injured, they healed themselves, and if they were unable to do so– they either fell ill or shamefully asked for help. Though, despite the hardships of Timber’s past clan, she missed it with all her heart. And she holds a heavy guilt in her heart from leaving and not returning. Though she didn’t have much of a choice due to Shadowstep, her ex-mate didn’t allow her to do things on her own, let alone travel to visit other cats. With a soft sigh, the molly looked up as Brightnoise‘s voice broke through her thoughts.
The medicine cat had padded away for a brief moment and returned with a silvery pigeon in her maw, dropping it before her. The tabby molly’s kind expression could easily ease any anxious cat’s nerves. And with her question, Timber gave a small nod, “Of course,” She mewed, a soft smile on her muzzle. Though when the cat that stood before her paused to look past her, Timber flicked her attention in the direction as well, her gaze landing on Faircrown settle near an elderly feline.

Coalpaw ;; Male ;; 6.5 Moons ;; Apprentice ;; Heterosexual ;; Crush: Open ;; Location: Camp ;; Tag: Softblaze

Coalpaw's eyes swept around camp, looking for a way to distract himself from his worries. He briefly considered paying a visit to the elder's den to make sure both that Tansyflower was okay but also to hear a story or two. Still, his heart stayed his paws. Instead his eyes wandered and found themselves setting on Softblaze who was lounging on one of the rocks and soaking in the sun. He pushed himself onto his paws and gave a quick shake to his pelt before he started to move towards her. "Hey Softblaze!" He greeted as he got close. "I was wondering if you'd be willing to go on a hunting patrol with me." He needed practice, and a warrior would be able to help him more than one of the other apprentices might be able to. Besides, it was a good way to help the clan, right?
