Creamflower hears a voice and turns her head to see it was Sagespot, one of the warriors. "Hello Sagespot!" she greeted warmly. "So far so good! How about yourself? Looks like you slept in today."

Emberglow nodded to Willowpaw in greeting as said apprentice approached them.
Her gaze switched to Mallowtail as the elder also padded up to her, a question quick on his tongue. She regarded the elderly cat thoughtfully for several moments before nodding, a warm smile on her face.
Before she could say anything, Willowpaw piped up, making Emberglow instinctively cast the apprentice a slightly annoyed glance. Sighing, she returned her attention to Mallowtail, her previous smile quickly restored.
"Of course you can Mallowtail. If you'd like, you can join my patrol." Emberglow paused to imagine the easiest route to the border before adding, "We might be out a while though so if you'd like, I can arrange for you to go with the next border patrol."

Drizzlepaw inclined his head in agreement at Splashpaw's statement.
In all honesty, they really wouldn't get too far if they went out to collect herbs. It wasn't particularly that he didn't want to be accompanied by a warrior but...aw, whatever. He definitely hated having to be glued to his mentor's side all the time.
At his brother's agreement with his earlier offer, Drizzlepaw perked up, a bright smile spreading across his face.
Before he could respond though, Splashpaw had already taken off in the direction of Brackenstar and Kesraldawn. Shaking his head, but not without affection, Drizzlepaw loped after Splashpaw and joined his side.

Cricketkit hummed in agreement with his sister.
As much as he hated to admit it to himself; the fluff-ball did actually have a point. "Yeah, sure. I guess that makes sense." Cricketpaw was, after all, going to become an apprentice within the next two months. So he supposed it wouldn't do him any harm to start waking up earlier. That didn't mean he'd have to like it though!
Getting up to his paws, Cricketkit looked to his mother, a much softer look on his face now. "I'm pretty hungry actually"
He offered Sedgethroar a slight smile before trotting up to her and rubbing his cheek against her shoulder.
Distantly, he wondered what game Laburnumkit had picked out today. Hopefully not mouse and warrior.

Peppermint waded in the creek, the lukewarm waters cleaning the dirt and blood easily from her fur.
She shivered in delight at the feeling of being clean once more and swiftly padded back out of the water. Sure, she didn't hate getting wet, but in no way was Pepper ever excited about swimming or even dipping her paws in water.
She simply tolerated dunking herself solely because of the cleaning benefits.

Willowpaw sheepishly dipped her head at Emberglow's annoyed glare. I should have stayed quiet, she regretfully thought. Whenever she spoke out of turn, it seemed something bad happened. Would that stop her? StarClan knows not. She bit her tongue and listened to the warriors around her. She hoped that Mothfern didn't think any less of her because of her outbursts. Willowpaw's mouth filled with the enticing scent of a vole traveling near the camp. Her haunches tightened, imagining herself catching the prey. Her stomach growled as she realized that she never ate when she woke up. She sneaked a quick glance at the fresh-kill pile. Nah, I'll be fine. Nothing like a nice border patrol to invigorate her.

Stormheart nodded in response to what Cherrypaw had said. Scenting the air himself he could pick up several different scents including mouse and squirrel, as well as their medicine cat. Probably out collecting herbs. As they continued their walk to the western border, "Well done," he purred with approval, "it's pretty easy to get those two mixed up, but mouse is there, squirrel too." As soon as he said that he spotted a mouse creeping out from underneath some of the brush. He flicked his tail at Cherrypaw; nodding to where the mouse sat nibbling seeds by the roots.

Nightfrost pushed herself to her feet; stretching each muscle before shaking out her pelt "I'm a bit restless myself. I may go ahead and go hunt just for something to do since there's time to spare. she meowed "you're welcome to join me if you like"

{Apprentice} {Mentor: Feathercloud} {Tags: Feathercloud}
Wolfpaw bounded up behind Feathercloud looking around the outcropping with bright and eager eyes. "We're gonna do some hunting here right? he questioned towards his mentor, all the while keeping his ears pricked for the sounds of any kind of prey that might be nearby.

spacerCherrypaw hadn't even noticed the squirrel, and was geniunely impressed with the other apprentice. He didn't voice it of course, and at Stormheart's signal, he plastered on a cocky grin and dropped down into his hunter's crouch. One, two... three! he thought. His light steps brought him closer to the mouse, and on three, he aggressively sprang forward-- nearly too far, as he barely caught the mouse. Nevertheless, he quickly delivered the killing bite and presented his catch to his mentor. His eyes glowed with pride, but they also searched for feedback from the other cats.

spacer"Awesome! That's what I was thinking too," Kestreldawn responded, pushing herself to her feet. She made a move towards the two apprentices, but was caught off guard by Brackenstar's smile. "What's so funny?" she asked innocently, slightly confused. When she turned her head away, she was greeted with the sight of Splashpaw and Drizzlepaw bounding towards them. "Hey you two," she began. "Brackenstar and I were thinking it would be nice to do some battle training today! And Splashpaw can tag along, since it's important for him to learn as well. How do you feel about that?"

"Mallowtail is more than welcome to join us." Mapleheart mewed, his face bright. "Besides, maybe we could learn a thing or two from him while we're out there."

Feathercloud /// Warrior /// 67 Moons /// Pretty long-haired white cat with blue eyes and a flash of black on the chest /// She-cat + Lesbian /// Crush: Open /// Mate: N/A /// Mentor/Apprentice: Wolfpaw /// Tags: Wolfpaw

"Yep!" Feathercloud mewed. "As of this quarter-moon, this little cropping has been overflowing with prey." Her voice faltered a little. "Though there is an abundance of prey here, I'm not sure if there are any foxes or the like in there. I advise moving around slowly when you hunt in the rocks. I can't have an snake bite you."

Ravenfeather /// Medicine Cat /// 32 Moons /// Huge black cat with deep blue eyes and a flash of white on the chest /// She-cat + Bisexual /// Crush/Forbidden: To be Emberglow /// Mate: N/A /// Mentor/Apprentice: Splashpaw /// Tags: Skarr

The medicine cat smirked almost coldly. What happened to the old Ravenfeather? Where had she gone? Was she trapped and pleading to be released or was she gone just like Velvetwing? "See, the flesh of these berries here is not poisonous at all. Surprisingly it is very sweet, but the seed itself, the needles on the branch and the branch itself can be lethal if ingested." Ravenfeather stated, pointing her paw to each part of the branch. "Oh there has to be so many more poisonous plants in these woods. It would take moons to scavenge them though." She murmured almost sadly.

Ashcloud /// Queen /// 32 Moons /// Huge white tabby with black stripes and amber eyes /// She-cat + Bisexual /// Crush: To be Mossflight /// Mate: N/A /// Mentor/Apprentice: None /// Tags: Pearlfluff, Whitekit, Owlkit

The tabby smiled softly at Whitekit. I can't wait to have you little ones. Soon, my darlings, soon. Opening her maw to say something, she felt a sharp pain . The pain was a bit too much to handle but Ashcloud only showed discomfort on her face. Ravenfeather said they were due very soon, but did she misjudge the timing a little? Are they coming now? The queen sucked in a sharp breath. "Oh, I didn't expect that." She murmured, her voice low and laced with a bit of pain.

"I presume you could strip the seeds from the flesh and sneak those into herbs?" He suggested, still eyeing the fruit curiously. "It would be worth it, don't you think?" He addressed her last question. 'So, a deadly berry has a sweet flesh but a deathly seed. Nice to know..' he thought to himself. His tail flicked once, and he pushed his muzzle closer to the berry, not yet touching it, but getting a good look

"Well done!" Stormheart meowed with approval,"only thing you thing that needs work is judging your distance and figuring out how much force to put into your leap, but that all comes with practice." He smiled warmly at his apprentice, pleased with how well he seemed to be coming along in his training. "I'm sure Gorsebriar could tell you, but I was absolutely atrocious at hunting when I was an apprentice." He said a bit sheepishly, glancing over towards his former mentor.

Wolfpaw nodded at what Feathercloud told him, he certainly didn't want to get attacked by a fox or bitten by a snake, "I'll be careful. We never did much hunting in rocks at the old camp, so this'll be fun!" He bounded forward scrabbling up onto the rocks, opening his jaws slightly to taste any prey that might be hidden among the tumble of rocks and stones. As he crouched down onto a flat part of one of the stones a vole scurried its way out of a small hole. He waited a moment before leaping towards it; catching it between his claws before biting the back of its neck. He set it down carefully on the rock before grinning down at Feathercloud.

His ears flicked over to the apprentice there giving hin her approve to this patrol, but the deputy was the first to do the decision "thank you Emberglow, It's fine I've missed so long walk anyway, and if the journal is too much for me I can always get back to camp by myself" he meowed to her with a smile.

She smiled to her kits and walked toward the fresh-kill pile, her eyes looking the few preys in there, wondering which could be good for her family, the squirrel did see tasty thought "let's share this squirrel, right kits?" she meowed picking the squirrel closer to her. Her eyes looked over to the patrol for a moment, little surprised to see her father in there 'please just don't stress yourself too much, you're not that young anymore' she thought herself.

She flicked her ears at his words 'hm? It's not like you're the only cat to asking help at' she thought herself stopping when she was out of the den "Any idea what you wanted to do now? It seems that Emberglow is done her whatever patrol, maybe we could do or join the other one? If there is some" she meowed to him.

He didn't like an early awakening, but for some reason he wakes up now without getting any more of sleep, it annoyed him as part of him still wanted to sleep. As he got tired to curling around his nest, he stood up and walked out of the den making her way past the clearing toward the fresh-kill pile to check it, there was not much only a few birds and squirrel.

He sat near the apprentice's den entrance his eyes scanning around the other cats, not seeing his mentor anywhere. He didn't really mind that either as he liked to be still without doing nothing in the mornings or when he was still sleepy.

She nodded to her brother "yes, then let's eat and then do something fun" she meowed a little loudlier than she was wanted to, smiling excitedly she runs after her mother to the fresh-kill pile. She looked the preys, turning to the squirrel her mother picked up to them to share "that seems tasty one" she meowed sniffing the somewhat fresh prey.

She scented the stranger smell of a cat in front of them, narrowing her eyes as likely her brother didn't notice it "Hibiscus, stop" she yowled speeding up so she could be next to next with her brother "I said stop running" she meowed again, but they were already at the stream. She stopped as well when her brother stopped noticing the cat at the water "that's not prey or water monster, it's cat-like we are" she meowed sighing.

He runs toward the stream after hearing the splash he didn't care what brought the sound, he only thought it was a large-sized prey to be caught. He slowed his runs for a little bit when his sister got next to him "sis, what's your problem is?" he asked stopping when the stream showed up near some bushes "here...it..what kind of prey is that? water monster?" he called out seeing the pile of fur there in the water.

Splashpaw trotted toward the two cats tilting his head at Brankenstars smile to the female cat. He wondered for a moment if his parents ever smiled at each other like that. As Kresteldawn called out to them Splashpaw came to a stop near them bouncing even though his paws stayed on the ground. His voice was bright and excited like the glint in his eyes “Ah yes! We were about to ask if Brakenstar would train with us.” Splashpaw looked over to Brackenstar still bouncing like a frog eyes full of excitement and wonderment at the leader. He turned to look his shoulder at Drizzlepaw “This is gonna be so cool!”

Gorsebriar sat down as she watched Cherrypaw go after the mouse. She pulled a face shaking her head slightly So close to his assessment and still unable to check his strength. Gorsebriar began to scan the area her fur standing on end and tail flicking as she spotted a squirrel coming down from one of the trees. She gently tapped Ivypaw on the shoulder with her tail before flicking it toward the squirrel surprised the brave little creature would be brave enough to come down after the mouse squeak. She thought for a moment I will tell the leader the prey seems to still be unaffected by our presence and not as afraid as it should be. As Stormheart talked to his apprentice she gave a small sound that was short and maybe a laugh “Ah every cat has their strengths Stormheart you know that. It is about learning to even use your weakness to your advantage.” Her voice was very hushed wanting her apprentice to have every chance to get the squirrel even if it was a bit away from them to hear their voices.

Owlkit pouted softly as his mother flicked him with her tail giving a soft sneeze before he batted at the offender with his sheathed claws. At the mention of more playmates, Owlkit brightened back up bouncing about before dropping into a crouch “Oh I am goon teach them all about hunting moms’ tails…. And bothersome little sisters!” Owlkit leaped toward his sister with a playful growl heading toward with his head down as if to headbutt her over.
