Frostwhisker
ReefClan Deputy - ♀ - 62 moons - Location: ReefClan Camp - Feeling: Fine - Tagged: Fishwhisker, Runningwater - Mentioned: Cloudpelt, Birchpaw
"Yes, thank you, Fishwhisker. I was actually planning a patrol. I’ll be going as well...” she scanned camp, looking for a third and maybe a fourth cat. “Runningwater,” she called out to the gray warrior. “You can come on patrol with Fishwhisker and I, yes?” Glancing around at the other cats, she could see Cloudpelt and Birchpaw standing together a ways off from her. No need to potentially interrupt Birchpaw’s training... three cats will be enough, she decided, as there wasn’t too much of a need to hunt at the moment- the fresh-kill pile was looking quite full- and she felt that herself, Fishwhisker and Runningwater together were enough to handle any threats they might encounter while checking the territory.

Blackpaw
RockClan Apprentice - ♀ - 6 moons - Location: RockClan Camp - Feeling: Excited - Tagged: Skypaw - Mentioned: None
“Ooh! We can do that?” said Blackpaw, voice falling into an attempt at a whisper. “That sounds really fun. Okay. You’ll see how great I am. I’ll be the best hunter in RockClan once I actually get a chance to use my skills.” Her tail lashed. “And that sounds cool. I want to meet apprentices from the other Clans too. Are they nice or are they mean? I hope they’re nice. There's no need for anyone to be mean. Unless you met in battle. Woah. Have you ever been in a battle with enemy warriors, Skypaw? Did you beat them up? I bet you could!"

With the distinct smell of salt on the morning breeze and inevitably embedded in her fur, the lean tortoiseshell emerged from her den, long legs stretching forward and backward to relieve her limbs from the stiffness of her slumber. Nimblestar ducked out of the den who's entrance was near the piled up old crates that she used to address the clan for meetings. Her keen amber gaze swept across the island camp, dancing over her clan mates and eventually lifting to the blue sky overhead. Clear skies were always a good sign, and her spirits were high whenever the sky was barren. She peered out across the camp, noting that Frostwhisker had gotten a jump on the patrols, leading one herself with Fishwhisker and Runningwater to accompany her. Nimblestar made a mental note to send a couple cats to check the borders once Frostwhisker and her hunting patrol returned. In the meantime the leader wanted to spend this peaceful period Reefclan had found themselves in with her clan mates. Although there hadn't been any issues to worry about from the other two clans, Nimblestar wasn't naive enough to think this tranquility would last for very long, but as long as they had it she wanted her clan to enjoy it. The tortoiseshell lifted her eyes to one of the younger warriors pacing a little ways away from her. By the looks of it, Sunspring had added more than enough to the prey pile after her earlier hunt. Nimblestar padded towards the young warrior, tail flicking out behind her. "Looks like you had quite the success with the morning hunting, Sunspring?" came her meow, a slight rasp to her tone.

The older warrior had woken just moments before the sound of Ashstar's call penetrated the walls of the warriors den. Not bothering to stretch his legs out, the broad shorthair climbed out of his nest and exited the den. It took him a moment to let his eyes adjust to the harshness of the morning light since they had been accustomed to the dimness of the den. Once his blinking ceased, Trufflegust headed towards where several other cats were gathered beneath the pile of rocks on which Ashstar sat atop.

The sunlight glinted off of the ivory fangs as her lips were stretched in a wide yawn, putting a mouthful of sharp teeth on display for a brief moment. Ivorypaw stood at the mouth of the apprentices den, taking a moment to let her eyes travel around the camp before she decided her first course of action. Initially she had been hoping to talk to her best friend, maybe sit down and share a meal, but when she spotted Beetlepaw with his mentor, Hawkfeather, the white feline thought otherwise. The white apprentice slowly flexed her toes against the ground, her claws sheathing and unsheathing themselves in turn. Her dual-colored gaze shifted it's attention to where she noticed her mentor chatting with Mossfur, and Ivorypaw hoped it was for a patrol. She was itching to get going. So with that in mind, the molly jogged over to where Maplehaze and Mossfur were, dipping her head in greeting as she approached the two. "Good morning Mossfur, Maplehaze" she nodded curtly to the deputy and then her mentor before shifting her eyes to Maplehaze. "I didn't miss anything did I?" Ivorypaw meowed, her head taking on a light tilt as she watched her mentor.

There was a certain comfort in the sounds of the sea. From the gentle tumble of the waves against the surrounding shoreline to the call of gulls high above their heads, there was never a moment of true still or silence afforded to them on their island home. Even here, tucked away in shadows and air that smelled of damp moss and herbs, Honeythroat could hear the tropical world around them come to life with the rising sun. It called to him with these wild shrieks and whispers, tugged gently at his fur on the cusp of a breeze, but tucked away he remained.

Hailgaze had slipped out of the den a few moments before the red-orange tom roused, his pale eyes only catching the hints of that strikingly white tail of his disappearing out of the entrance and off to who knows where. Well, actually the younger tom could muster a few guesses. His gaze trailed over to the pile of oyster shells the older medicine cat had almost begun to hoard. Pushing himself up onto his feet and shaking out his coat to dislodge any pesky strands of moss which decided to hitch a ride, the little tom settled for sitting near their herb cache and worked on grooming some of the mats out of his fur.

As he gave his paw a good lick and rubbed it over his ear and the back of his head a few times movement in the bright mouth of the den caught his attention once more. In padded the familiar white tom─ and with another oyster shell no less─ which was promptly tossed onto the aforementioned amassing pile. Honeythroat immediately offered an amused grin.

"Found a prize this morning, did you?" He teased, hints of laughter dancing on the edge of his words. It was hard to have been around the pale medicine cat for so many moons and to not have picked up on the others habits. Then and again, he doubted that any cat with half a brain was oblivious to his overwhelming preference for oyster. Honeythroat paused in his efforts to smooth his fur to regard Hailgaze curiously as he approached their herb stores. "We're getting low on cobwebs again, but I'm sure you already knew that. Didn't feel like mingling around in camp after your meal, hmm? Can't imagine we're the only two awake, anyways!"

The wirey tom-cat felt the end of his tail twitch like a flickering ember, a sign of his curiosity. It made him wonder if Nimblestar or Frostwhisker had sent out the dawn patrol yet.. ah well. Maybe they could tag along with a later patrol to look for some of what they were short on! Ooh, wouldn't that be fun? Honeythroat thinks so, at least.

The atmosphere was incredibly solemn. Heavy. The cats here were not unfamiliar with a blanket of tension hanging over their camp, but this was so vastly different. In all of the clashes, all of the skirmishes, that they've had with the other clans, Thornjaw could not think of an instance in their history where they had lost so much in such a short amount of time. The brushfire had ravaged their dry and rocky territory in record time. There was nothing that they could have done. And that made it worse.

Honestly, it was a miracle that Ashstar had managed to lead as many of them to safety as he had.

Since they'd been able to return to their camp─ which had thankfully escaped mostly unscathed─ you could feel the sense of loss and grief roll off of those who had managed to survive like waves. It had been a few days now, and it was becoming increasingly apparent that it wasn't just the land and their clan who had suffered; prey was scarce. Either having perished in the fire or having been driven off the island because of it, food was beginning to become a problem and that did nothing to help ease the growing restlessness of his clanmates.

As Thornjaw lumbered out of the warriors den in the early morning haze, cool gaze panning the stretch of camp, the recent prophecy rang in his ears and burned in his heart. In addition to everything else, that was beginning to be the tipping point for his increasingly sour mood. It felt like Starclan had turned their back on their clan. What had they done to deserve such punishment? What had they done to deserve to suffer, while the other two clans seemed to be prospering and oblivious to their pain? Before he knew it, his claws had unsheathed and sunk deep into the soil where he stood, fur bristling in building ire. It wasn't until he spotted the distant shapes of Yewfrost and Flintheart that he was able to ground himself; taking a sharp breath of air that still tasted of fire and ash. He afforded them a stiff but respectful dip of his head, if they even took notice of his arrival, and moved to skate along the outskirts of the encampment.

The distinct voice of Ashstar cut through the still morning air, calling for all those old enough to gather under the stonepile. Something about it made the aloof tom's stomach sink. After all, they'd not only lost clanmates, but among the fallen had been their deputy and Ashstar's own mate. He may not appear to be the most empathetic cat but the striped behemoth sympathized with the loss. He did care for most of his clan even if he failed to show it at times. He started to move toward where some of the other cats had started to gather when movement caught his eye. The unmistakable wrinkled form of their second medicine cat slipped out of his den and picked his way around the camp's edges in search of any semblance of shade, it seemed.

Although he was not the most sociable cat, and by appearances he doubted that Molesprout would be much in the mood for idle chatter himself, the contrastingly long furred tom moved to sit down close to where the hairless medicine cat had chosen to settle. After all, he'd already been moving along the outskirts of camp and the gathering himself; he really couldn't be bothered to place himself elsewhere right now. While his abrasive and intimidating demeanor usually kept most at bay, the last thing he wanted was to potentially have his ear talked off by someone like Blackpaw. His cold, yet wild gaze lingered on the other tom for a brief moment before shifting up to focus on the silhouette of their leader atop his perch.

And he braced himself for what was to come.

If there was one thing that a certain young tortoiseshell dreaded, it was mornings.

Mornings meant that it was another day in which Minnowpaw would have to convince herself to get up and leave the apprentice den. Mornings meant that there was the potential of having to slink through camp under the harsh gaze of some cat who didn't think that she belonged. And above all else, mornings meant that that she had until the sun decided to tuck itself back under the horizon to potentially embarrass herself in front of not only her clanmates, but her mentor. The mere thought made her ears burn and she took the moment to drape her front paws over her head.

She'd only been an apprentice for a few moons now, and she was starting to be able to navigate Rootclan's treebound home and lifestyle a little better, but there were still times where she would lose her footing or have trouble picking her way through the branches. It was hard for her not to take these occasional mistakes to heart, as Minnowpaw wanted nothing else than to fit in with the clan who had raised her. Sometimes she wished she could have just been born to one of their queens instead, because then maybe it wouldn't be so hard. It didn't help that she also carried a physical trait more often found in Reefclan cats than others; their trademark webbed toes. She could hide her fondness of water; it was much harder to hide a fact most of the clan had taken notice of when they'd found her.

However, she couldn't just hide away under her mossbed all day; and hearing movement off to her side Minnowpaw let her paws fall away from her head to spot Ivorypaw having come to a halt at the mouth of the apprentice den. Her ears pinned back briefly, but when she realized that she wasn't being scrutinized and that the other apprentice was just getting a start on her own day, the little tortoiseshell relaxed a bit. Ivorypaw disappeared out into the camp and Minnowpaw clambered up onto her paws, shaking out her coat and forcing herself to slowly follow in the others footsteps.

There was a moment of hesitation as the dark mottled she-cat approached the entrance to the den, lingering there for a moment before thankfully spotting a particular warrior settled nearby. Minnowpaw quickly made the effort to bound over to where Rainfall was sitting and sincerely hoped that in all her worrying that she hadn't 'overslept'.

"Hi, Rainfall!" Came the soft but cheery greeting, which heavily contrasted her demeanor from just moments before. "Are we training this morning? Oh! Has the dawn patrol already left?" In spite of all of her nerves, Minnowpaw did genuinely look forward to learning new stuff and doing exciting things like learning how to track monkeys through the canopy or checking on the borders. The nerves did manage to catch up with her through the bubbling excitement, however, and suddenly her paws were much more interesting. "Um.. I hope you weren't waiting for me too long. I'm sorry. I should have been up sooner."

Hailgaze
54m | Reefclan | Medicine Cat | Apprentice: None
Tags: Honeythroat | Mentions: Birchpaw & Sunspring

He glanced up from his work as Honeythroat padded into the den, blinking the returning to his work as the younger tom spoke. A soft sound of agreement rumbled in his throat. "Yes, found it hidden under a couple of small fish in the prey pile." He responded in a soft drawl. Not glancing up at younger tom for a time, he wondered what the younger tom was thinking about. Unable to help it the odd-eyed tom looked up at the dark pointed male, an ear twitching as he remembered the last bit of what Honeythroat had said, and sighed." Yes, I did notice that." he cleared his throat, eyes returning to the pile herbs at his paws, grimacing as he spotted a few bits of Chervil were starting to rot.

"You know I'm not a very social cat, Honeythroat, you know that." He shrugged," besides, there wasn't much of a need." Flicking two leaves of damaged borage away from the rest of the pile, he huffed, Hailgaze knew that neither of them would damage a herb and put it back. So it was the work of a younger cat as most knew not to screw around with anything in the den. Which leaves us with two suspects, he thought Birchpaw and Sunspring. Personally, Hailgaze would bet three oyster shells on the mischievous apprentice.

Maplehaze
35m | Rootclan | Warrior | Apprentice: Ivorypaw
Tags: Mossfur & Ivorypaw | Mentions: none

A younger voice brought her back to the situation at paw, seeing at Ivorypaw had joined the two cats. A small smile found it's way to her maw, her tail curling in delight as she purred a soft greeting. "Good morning Ivorypaw," She shook her head softly, "No, you didn't miss much. But we'll be going on a border patrol after I've finished eating. " gesturing to the small bat at her paws. She glanced at Mossfur before returning her gaze to Ivorypaw. "If you want you can get something small to eat, but be quick about it. Or when we get back you can get something bigger before any more training." With that said, the curly-furred warrior returned her gaze to Mossfur, silently hoping that she'd be able to take the few cats she trusted to have her back.

Yewfrost
50m | Rockclan | Warrior | Apprentice: Spottedpaw
Tags: Flintheart | Mentions: Ashstar

Huffing out a half-hearted chuckle, the tom shook his head thankful for the gesture as it meant a lot to him. "Maybe, or maybe he called a meeting at the most opportune time." He teased softly, flashing the she-cat a half-smile. Fully relaxing the red-brown tom glanced at Flintheart out of the corner of his eye, reminiscing about their kits days. Being only a moon apart, the two had been den-mates for about five moons before the she-cat became an apprentice. Things were a lot easier then. He thought ruefully, no worry about catching prey, or much of anything really. Just having fun and making friends. Shaking his head the tom, came to a stop about a fox length or so away from the rock pile.

Skypaw
9m | Rockclan | Apprentice | Mentor: Snakevenom
Tags: Blackpaw | Mentions: Snakevenom & Snowflower

Skypaw chuckled, her fur prickling with excitement. It seemed that Blackpaw's excitement was infectious. Maybe I should warn Flintheart, so we all don't become over-excited kits. She thought absently. " We can definitely do that after the meeting if Snowflower or Snakevenom doesn't steal one or both of us away," Skypaw whispered in reply. "I'm sure you'll do great after a little practice." An ear twitched at the apprentice's last questions and exclamations. " They're... " She trailed off, unsure how to say it. "different." It wasn't the best word to settle on, but it was the only one she could think of that wasn't a glowing review or a piece of mouse-dung. " A few I know are kind of shy, and not very confident, a few cats I've met are pretty full of themselves and there are even one or two that are just plain annoying." She gave her lips a lick, wetting then as she spoke once more. "As for battles, well I've never been in anything big. But I've been in a few skirmishes, gotten a few small scar's and probably left a few too." She shrugged, "It's not really a big deal though."

❝ ── ASHSTAR OF ROCKCLAN. leader. 60 moons. male. mentors n/a. tagged clan.
The tom's pelt was the color of a raging storm and that was exactly what was going on in his mind. Many thoughts collided with each other, different ones mixing in and twisting together with others. Ashstar let out a weary sigh as he thought over the plans for today, his paws absently working at the stones as if he could tear them apart with his claws. His tail flicked back and forth, his eyes narrowed as if staring at an enemy. The fire...he quickly shook his head to dislodge the thoughts, he needed to get his troubled mind together. Narrowing his eyes, he began to push away distracting thoughts and began to focus his mind on the tasks at hand. Below, cats were already beginning to gather. He would need to make his announcement and soon.

The first task at hand was deciding upon a deputy. His green gaze scanned the cats below, even though he'd already had told himself a million times that he'd made his decision. However, there was always this lingering doubt at the back of his mind, as if he had to second guess (or hundred guess) himself over and over again. Even if it was the same thing. Once more he felt exhaustion overwhelm him, but he didn't have time to rest. He raised his head slowly, forcing himself to feel a bit more confident though it didn't really help. But there was no need to keep wasting time like this, he knew who his deputy would be. Now about the hunting patrol... And by hunting patrol, today's hunting patrol wouldn't be an ordinary patrol. No, this would be another small raid into Rootclan's territory. They had plenty of prey to spare, those stuck up felines probably had more than they could handle. Of course, asking them for such a thing would probably be ideal to some of his fellow clanmates, but that was more than likely a lost cause not to mention ruin their image as a whole. No, he couldn't allow such a thing. So, now it was time to make his announcement.

Ashstar raised his head and gazed down at the cats below, noticing for the first time quite a few had gathered below him if not the entire clan. Taking a breath, he raised himself to his paws and stood in what he hoped was a proud manner, despite the fact he felt anything but. Only hesitating a moment, the large tom spoke. "Cats of Rockclan! I have called you all together to annouce a few things. You are all probably wondering who the new deputy will be. Well, the time has come to announce who it will be...", he said, taking a short moment to let his words sink in and then continue. "I have considered many members, but one stood out to me among the others. Yewfrost is the new deputy of Rockclan. I have no doubts that he'll serve the clan well", he finished, his gaze flickering to the tom in question before turning to the clan once more.

Once the clan had quieted, Ashstar slowly spoke once more. "Now it is time for today's patrols. Yewfrost, as the new deputy I would like you to lead today's hunting patrol, into Rootclan territory. Take whoever you please with you, I trust that you will know what to do if you run into trouble. I will assign the border patrol myself", he said with a flick of his tail. "Clan dismissed!", he then called, leaping down from the pile of stones with a heavy sigh. Stealing was wrong he knew, but what else could they possibly do? It for a good cause... But somehow, it didn't feel so good.

❝ ── HAWKFEATHER OF ROOTCLAN. warrior. 36 moons. male. mentors beetlepaw. tagged beetlepaw.
The tabby warrior noticed a few glances in his direction as he demanded his apprentice, but it didn't bother him. He was used to such a thing, which actually amused him. The clan masking their love for him with disgusted or annoyed looks, who amusing indeed. The tom couldn't imagine what it would be like without him, surely the clan would perish without him. Letting out a breath, he opened his mouth to call another time before noticing the tom approaching. Finally. He snorted at Beetlepaw's words and sat down to look his apprentice over for a few moments. Upon finishing, he gave the tom a hard look. "What in Starclan's name have you been doing? Half the day will be gone soon enough and you'll have wasted the day dozing like an elder", he said as he wrinkled his snout in disgust. He shook his head, before turning to the tom again. "Now if you're well ready I think its time we ought to do some training. Warriors are not fat and lazy, so I hope you're ready to go", he said with a flick of his tail and rose to his paws. He quickly whipped around and began walking away, as if daring his apprentice to defy him.

indentationBeetlepaw frowned but hurried after his mentor saying nothing. He was so close to being a warrior! Just a little more training and he would be free. Not completely of course, hawkfeather would still be there. But he would not have a mentor anymore. He could do what he pleased when he wanted to. As long as it was within clan code of course. Beetlepaw thought he would almost be able to like Hawkfeather in a way, as long as he could do it from a distance. He was a strong warrior afterall, and an asset to the clan. Beetlepaw figured their personalities just didn't mix well, but he hoped that would help shape him and help him become better. And honestly, if he could be half the warrior Hawkfeather is he would be happy.

He wasn't interested in exactly what the apprentice had to do but if it wasn't what he thought she should do, he would take her out to train. He felt apprentices should spend all their time doing something for the good of the clan. When you became a warrior, then maybe you could get time to leisure. Being a member of a clan was a privilege and he thought every cat should pull their weight, and then some. On the other hand if he got the chance to go out on patrol, he might let Skypaw do her own thing. Unless of course she could be brought along, he thought that would be a great learning experience.

Her tail sort of wagged behind her, as if she was trying to lash her tail excitedly, but she could only move what was left of it. She bounced from one foot to the other for a few moments. She called it 'warming up.' She hoped she could find a nice spot to swim in while they were out, but her heart wasn't set on it as she wasn't sure if there would be time. But if their was, she would always take a swim.

"Good, then," said Frostwhisker. "Fishwhisker, Runningwater, let's go. We'll check around the edges of the island today." She walked out of ReefClan camp, assuming the others would follow behind her. It's nice out today, she thought, looking up at the sky. I hope we don't get into some kind of skirmish. It would ruin my mood. She had no reason to think they would, though. ...do we need anything while we're out? She wondered. The camp wall's fine, it doesn't need shoring up right now, so we're probably good. She stopped and turned to look behind her, making sure she didn't outpace the other members of the patrol.

Blackpaw
RockClan Apprentice - ♀ - 6 moons - Location: RockClan Camp - Feeling: Fine - Tagged: Snowflower - Mentioned: Skypaw, Ashstar, Snakevenom
“Cool,” said Blackpaw, but before she could say more Ashstar began his announcements, and the apprentice fell silent, listening to her leader. Yewfrost as deputy, she thought, but before she could think too much on that Ashstar continued speaking.
A hunting patrol in RootClan territory? Wow, that sounds exciting. Hunting... sneaking around... I wish I could go. But she knew as she’d only become an apprentice less than half a moon ago she likely wouldn’t be trusted on a task like that. As soon as the meeting was over Snakevenom came to talk to Skypaw, and internally Blackpaw sighed. I guess Skypaw will have to show me hunting later. Instead she looked around and located her mentor. “Hey, Snowflower,” she said, padding up to the older she-cat.

Molesprout narrowed his light green eyes as two apprentices chatted excitedly in front of him while Ashstar started the clan meeting. He rose to his paws his long skinny forelimb flashed out with a sheathed paw and swatted Blackpaw's ears. "Silence!" The medicine cat spat in a whisper. Then he turned his attention back to Ashstar just as he announced the new deputy. Molesprout glanced over at Yewfrost but made no effort to look pleased. He couldn't care who was deputy just so long as they made sure that the fresh-kill pile was full. When the meeting ended Molesprout stalked forwards to stand in front of the two apprentices he had scolded. "Since you have so much energy, you two can go find some more cobwebs for me. We are almost out and we're going to need more." His eyes narrowed and flicked in between them almost daring them to object. If Yewfrost's patrol ran into any trouble they certainly would need cobwebs, and not to mention sending out the apprentices to hunt for them meant Molesprout could stay in his shady den.

Spottedpaw jumped to her feet as her mentor was announced deputy. "Yewfrost! Yewfrost!" she cheered excitedly. She was thrilled that her mentor had been chosen to be the new deputy. That means I'm the deputy's apprentice! As Ashstar announced a hunting party would go onto RootClan Territory felt a shiver of excitement course through her. I've got to get on that patrol! She weaved through the cats until she reached her mentors side. "Congratulations!" she meowed happily. "I'm coming with you right?" she asked her green eyes wide and hopeful.

Fishwhisker purred at Runningwaters obvious excitement. His whiskers twitched and he let the younger warrior go ahead of him when Frostwhisker led them out of camp.

He breathed in the salty air happy to be out and moving though he had to focus on keeping up.

She swallowed quickly then respectfully dipped her head. "Morning Nimblestar." Raising her head again she answered the leaders question. "I did! I wanted to get out early because that seems to be the time I have the best luck with catching the shrimp."

Rainfall waved her tail at her apprentice as she padded over. She adored her own apprentice almost as much as she would her own kit. She always tried hard to listen and take her advice while she trained. She shook her head as Minnowpaw asked her question. "No, I dont believe they have left yet. Her blue gaze flickes to where Mossfur, Maplehaze and Ivorypaw were gathered and talking about she assumed would be a patrol. Pushing herself to her paws she flicked her tail for her apprentice to follow. "Let's go see if we can join them. Then would you like to try some more tree climbing excercises this afternoon?" She asked her apprentice. She knew she was self conscious about her climbing skills, made a little more unnatural to her by her webbed toes.

Tigerpaw had only fallen asleep just before dawn. He was barely able to drift off to sleep most nights because he was so occupied in his anger. Deep down he knew it stemmed from his grief for his lost mother but the anger permeated every thought, interaction and thing that he did. Last night he had snuck out of camp after hours of tossing and turning in his nest. He had found himself staring with fur ridged upwards along his spine across the dark water glaring towards the RockClan territory. Finally he had crawled back to his nest and now in his dreams he was standing in the same spot, his anger ever present and ever inescapable.

Sandpaw | Female | 12 moons | ReefClan Apprentice | Feeling: eager to train

Sandpaw took a bird from the prey pile, eager to have something in her belly should she be called on to help or work on training. She looked around. In the meantime the young apprentice did not mind talking with anyone. A patrol would be nice. Or even hunting. I’m sure I’ll be called on eventually. I don’t mind waiting while I finish eating. She thought.

He glanced up from his work as Honeythroat padded into the den, blinking the returning to his work as the younger tom spoke. A soft sound of agreement rumbled in his throat. "Yes, found it hidden under a couple of small fish in the prey pile." He responded in a soft drawl. Not glancing up at younger tom for a time, he wondered what the younger tom was thinking about. Unable to help it the odd-eyed tom looked up at the dark pointed male, an ear twitching as he remembered the last bit of what Honeythroat had said, and sighed." Yes, I did notice that." he cleared his throat, eyes returning to the pile herbs at his paws, grimacing as he spotted a few bits of Chervil were starting to rot.

"You know I'm not a very social cat, Honeythroat, you know that." He shrugged," besides, there wasn't much of a need." Flicking two leaves of damaged borage away from the rest of the pile, he huffed, Hailgaze knew that neither of them would damage a herb and put it back. So it was the work of a younger cat as most knew not to screw around with anything in the den. Which leaves us with two suspects, he thought Birchpaw and Sunspring. Personally, Hailgaze would bet three oyster shells on the mischievous apprentice.

A younger voice brought her back to the situation at paw, seeing at Ivorypaw had joined the two cats. A small smile found it's way to her maw, her tail curling in delight as she purred a soft greeting. "Good morning Ivorypaw," She shook her head softly, "No, you didn't miss much. But we'll be going on a border patrol after I've finished eating. " gesturing to the small bat at her paws. She glanced at Mossfur before returning her gaze to Ivorypaw. "If you want you can get something small to eat, but be quick about it. Or when we get back you can get something bigger before any more training." With that said, the curly-furred warrior returned her gaze to Mossfur, silently hoping that she'd be able to take the few cats she trusted to have her back.

Pride filled his belly and his blood rushed as it was announced as the new deputy. He gave his leader a slight nod and half-smile in acceptance and thanks for the opportunity. At the mention of leading the patrol into Rootclan territory, the tom's face fell into an emotionless mask. He didn't really like hunting in another clans territory, but you did what you had to survive. When Ashstar dismissed the clan from the meeting the tom stood, glancing around for acceptable cats. His eyes cut to Thornjaw, an intimidating young warrior, someone who would be a great help if they can into problems. His thoughts were cut off by the arrival of Spottedpaw; His apprentice. "Thank you, Spottedpaw." He replied softly, his face going from a slight smile and relaxed to a stoic in a matter of heartbeats after hearing her question. "No, we can't risk it. You don't have sufficient hunting practice, muchless battle-training if we run into trouble."

Snapping around the pale-furred apprentice hissed at the bitter medicine cat, before returning to her seated position. A small smile flickering across her face when Ashstar announced her father as deputy. Once the meeting was over, and Molespout once again spoke a mixture of spite and anger surged up and she spat with a sneer. "Not happening Scorpion-skin! Do your own job, don't loft off on us." Sneering at the older tom, she gave him a look of contempt, the fur along her spine bristling in agitation. Her eyes flickered over to her mentor as the tom padded over, and blinked at his question. "Unless you have anything planned, I might see if I can help Blackpaw with her hunting. She hasn't gotten much of a chance to hunt with what's happened as of late." Skypaw replied, with a half shrug.
