Brackenstar's grin widened. "Oh, nothing." The tom said in response to the she-cat. The leader looked down at the excited apprentice's. While it has been a while since Brackenstar was an apprentice, he could still remember the excitement of being one and admired the spunk and energy the two apprentices before him exerted. "I was thinking we could do some defense training. Maybe some tree climbing as well," the tom told Splashpaw and Drizzlepaw before looking over at Kestreldawn. "If you're okay with that, that is."

Pearfluff's ears stood up, alert, as she heard what appeared to be a trace of pain in the fellow queen's voice. "Ashcloud? Are you okay? Should I go get Ravenfeather?" the she cat mewed, believing the queen was starting to kit. If she was, Pearfluff was going to go out and get Ravenfeather and Splashpaw. While she herself has gone through kitting, she wasn't experienced enough to help another queen go through it by herself.

Feeling the tap of her mentor's tail, Ivypaw looked over to where she was motioning towards. Seeing the squirrel, the apprentice dropped in a crouch. Paw steps light, she stalked towards the unassuming prey. Once close enough, Ivypaw stopped. Caught up in her excitement, the apprentice's tail began to slowly and unconsciously wriggle back and forth before the apprentice pounced, claws unsheathed. Digging her nails into the squirrels hide, Ivypaw delivered the killing blow. Picking up her catch, the she-cat carried it back to the others, pride shining in her eyes.

The tom stood up alongside her, shaking out his pelt. "Sure. I have nothing better to do. Might as well do something productive for the clan," Mossflight replied.

At Creamflower's response, the warrior yawned. "I may have slept in but it certainly doesn't feel like it. I've been plagued with nightmares ever since we found this place." Sagespot replied with a tired meow.

Robinshine took a moment to think before shrugging. "Not really. I'll probably just wait for the patrols to get back." The tom said in response. "What about you?" he asked in return.

"You wish!" the kit mewled in response to her brother. "If anything, I'm going to teach them how to handle annoying brothers!" Whitekit exclaimed, falling under Owlkit's weight, oblivious to whatever was happening with the other queen.

Emberglow dipped her head a bit, silently agreeing with Mapleheart's comment.
It was true. Mallowtail was much older than any of them and he might have some insight for them. Aside from that, she had a feeling it would do him some good to get out of the camp to stretch his legs. After a moment, she returned her attention to Mallowtail a gentle expression on her face, "Alright. We're happy to have you with us." Emberglow envisioned the path to the far border and nodded to herself. Yes, this would do nicely...well...so long as they didn't run into any trouble that is.

Drizzlepaw smiled softly as he heard Kestraldawn's announcement.
Woah, what were the odds of the four of them all having the same idea before even talking to each other? Pretty low he imagined. He glanced at Splashpaw, the same excitement shining in his eyes as his brother's. He wasn't quite as excitable as Splashpaw, but his tail twitched in enthusiasm and he shuffled his paws restlessly on the ground. "Wow! That's a great idea Brackenstar" He exclaimed in response to the leader's suggestion about climbing and defense training. Drizzlepaw grinned at Splashpaw, paw pads tingling in delight. "I wonder how many apprentices get to train with their leader." He whispered in a conspiratorial tone.

Cricketkit looked at his sister somewhat reproachfully but gave in with a sigh.
"Okay...we'll eat and do whatever." He paused, a glint of excitement entering his gaze as he added, "Maybe we can explore the edge of the camp?" He meowed as he trotted alongside his mother and Laburnumkit, taking in the bustle of the clan as he went. Sedgethroat, upon reaching the fresh-kill pile, selected a squirrel, much to Cricketkit's delight. Thus far, his favorite prey was squirrel. It had a much more unique, flavorful taste than mice or voles that he simply found more appealing. "Yeah, it looks really good." He was practically drooling over the squirrel; waiting for someone else to take the first bite.

Peppermint stiffened as she tasted the air, smelling a foreign cat's scent.
Shaking stray water droplets from her fur as she abandoned the creek, she gazed out at the surrounding forest, ears pricked for any sounds. Oddly enough, the loud ruckus of two cat's voices and paw steps reached her eats quite easily. Pupils dilated, Peppermint watched uncertainly as two cats, both seemingly a bit younger than her, crested the small hill by the creek. Fur bristling, Pepper glared at the unfamiliar cats but didn't move to attack. "Can I help you?" She asked apprehensively. In her experience, cats didn't just happen upon her. They usually had a motive for approaching her...and not a good one at that.

━━The bi-color tabby warrior awoke as sunlight began to stream in from the entrance of the den, his amber gaze blinking slowly. He let out a yawn and stretched, his tail swaying from side to side as he awaited for the last sleepiness to leave him. He wondered what he should do at this point, a thought that he had every morning. He never once thought about warrior duties, as he was always trying to avoid them in the first place. Sometimes he woke up ready to travel again, before he came to his senses and realized he was no longer a loner, but a clan cat.

━━The feeling after that thought was a particularly complicated one. He missed the ability to do what he wanted dearly, but he also loved his sister dearly. He remembered how he used to be lonely at times and he wasn't such anymore with the amount of cats in the clan. But still, sometimes he felt like he just didn't fit in...he had never truly settled into the clan, but he would never admit to such at thing. Swiping his tongue over his muzzle, he rose to his paws and noticed one of the warriors still asleep. The tom's name was Streamstone, if he remembered correctly. Smiling slightly, feeling a bit mischievous this morning he nudged the tom with a paw, in a rather rough manner. "Wake up, you lazy ball of fur!" He meowed, not very quietly to the fellow warrior, before springing back and posing in a rather playful manner.

━━Aspenpaw had been up rather early that morning, playing with a mossball in her nest as she waited for the sun to rise. Last time she had left before the sun rose, she'd been rather loud and had been scolded for it. She didn't understand why. She didn't like staying in her nest once she woke up, she found that a majority of the cats in the clan slept so long. Too long, for her liking anyway. She let out a breath, before her amber gaze flickered to the entrance to the apprentice den. There was a soft glow of light there, which only meant one thing.

━━It was dawn, finally dawn! She wasted no time in heading outside, abandoning the mossball and bounding out of the den. Now. She could finally do something, besides sit around in her nest all morning. Her ears twitched as she began her usual morning rounds, first exploring the camp and listening in on a few conversations she found particularly interesting. Finally, after awhile she began to search for her mentor. Soon enough, she found the molly, but she seemed to be busy chatting with Robinshine another warrior. Hm. The molly padded over to the fresh-kill pile, guessing it wouldn't hurt to begin the morning with a bit of prey - just until her mentor was finished with whatever she was doing with Robinshine. Selecting a mouse, she bounded away happily, before settling down and beginning to eat her morning meal.

━━The massive tabby tom slowly padded along, going in no direction in particular. It was simply a morning stroll, a time when he got to enjoy the simpler times. The tom had once been in a clan, but had since left that life behind, though not exactly willingly. He let out a heavy breath at the thought, somewhat missing those days. No, he did miss those days. He had never really mentioned it before - mostly due to the fact he never had anyone to talk to anymore - but while sure, times were easier with just himself, but he missed the clan sometimes. There was a feeling he had while he was there, that he didn't feel anymore. He wasn't sure exactly what it was, but he sure did miss it. He missed it a lot.

━━Nonetheless, the tom had adjusted to his now normal life. Occasionally, he'd come across a cat or two, but they never stayed for long. He didn't understand why cats had to be in such a rush, there was plenty of time to stop and chat for awhile. He shook his head slightly, before turning his gaze skyward, seeing that the sun was wasting no time in moving across the sky. If he kept going at this pace, it'd be sunhigh soon enough. Blinking, the tom guessed it was time for a hunt - he would need to find some prey soon anyway. With a few moments of thought, the tom then turned and began searching for any signs of prey, hoping it wouldn't take entirely too long to find any.

Yes! Elated, Willowpaw leaped up. "Yay! Welcome, Mallowtail!" she exclaimed, purring. She began to head towards the entrance of the camp. She turned around and looked at the activity inside the camp before going out. She saw Splashpaw and Drizzlepaw chatting with Kestreldawn and Brackenstar, presumably asking whether or not Splashpaw could get some training. She saw various cats engaging in conversation, scattered across the camp like stars in the sky. Near the nursery, she saw Ashcloud, looking distressed along with Pearlfluff. Wow... Could we be about to have the first kits since the move? Willowpaw imagined that. Even though Whitekit, Laburnumkit, Cricketkit and Owlkit, didn't exactly remember the move, they still lived through it, if only just barely. Now there would be two different times-- before and after.

Creamflower listens to what Sagespot had to say cocks her head in confusion, curiosity filling her mind. "Oh?" she asked. "I havent had anything bad in my dreams so far since we made this our home. Maybe youre just stressed out or nervous even." She takes another bite of her fish, savoring the delicious taste.

spacer"Dang, really?" the apprentice meowed, genuinely shocked. Despite his behaviour, he actually did respect his elders, and had thought really highly of Stormheart's abilities. He couldn't imagine a time when his mentor would have been bad at hunting. Cherrypaw opened his mouth to say more, but stopped himself as Gorsebriar motioned for Ivypaw to hunt. He watched carefully as the younger apprentice hunted, and nodded in approval as the squirrel was succesfully caught. "Nice catch!" he congratulated Ivypaw. Cherrypaw was well pleased with the amount of food that they would be bringing back to camp-- although he hadn't caught all of it, you would think he had with how wide he was grinning.

spacer"Yeah, that sounds good to me!" Kestreldawn replied cheerily, feeding off of the excited atmosphere of the group. She was quite relieved to have Brackenstar along, since she had never been much of a fighter, and tree climbing was something new to all of them. Alone, she reckoned she would have been a lot less sure of herself as a mentor. After all, she had spent the majority of her life in a completely different environment, one without all the obstacles that the forest provided. "Well, if everyone's good to go, we can head out," Kestreldawn suggested, flicking her tail towards the camp exit. "Do any of you have any places you think would be good for training?"

Feathercloud nodded her head with approval with the apprentice's catch. "We'll hunt for a little and then we'll practice battle moves. Oh, do I have a surprise for you." The white she-cat said. He'll be completely caught off guard by what I'll do. she thought, smiling to herself.

"Oh it definitely would be worth it but I have a sister to look after. Besides, she'll be having kits in a few days and I need to get her ready for them." She murmured, though she quickly changed the subject. "And yes, you could strip the seeds but I prefer to give the cat the whole berry. Give them something that seems sweet before the fatal blow of the poison takes over." Ravenfeather mewed before bouncing back to grab the borage. "I quite enjoyed our talk today but I must tend to my duties and get these herbs, and poison, back to our camp. Hopefully we'll meet again, dear friend." The medicine cat stated as she took the herbs and poison, wrapped in a leaf or two so she didn't get the branch into her mouth itself, into her jaws. She smiled before diving into the undergrowth, disappearing from the rouge's view.

Ashcloud let out a strained sigh, her tail curled around her belly. "They shouldn't be coming today but it would be wise to find Ravenfeather or even have Splashpaw come in just in case they were to come." The tabby mewed, another pang of pain shooting through her body. "I do know Splashpaw is still in the camp but I'm not sure if my sister walked him through any of this."

Streamstone huffed, his leaf-green eyes tracing Finchwing's frame. He let out a groan before getting up out of his nest to stretch. "Sunrise already? I hope I'm not the only one who isn't out of the den yet." The smoke tabby murmured.

"Kits?" He muttered, tail flicking as he nodded at her next phrase. "Understandable, I suppose." He watched as she wrapped the leaves around the branch, and whisked away into the undergrowth. His tail waved a farewell and he turned to look at the Deathberries. "Poison, huh?" His tail flicked with curiosity. 'Ill get some later' he added in his mind, turning back to the rotted squirrel. Snatching it in his jaws, he didnt even taste the horrible crow-foodness as he walked away.

Finally reaching his dispose-of place, he dropped the sparrow. He dropped these under a tree, in which he knew a fox checked every so often, in which seemed to come from outside of Thistleclans territory every two-three moons. The clan seemed to know it didnt pose a threat, he supposed, or maybe they didnt even know. The fox would come in about three weeks, and eat the rotted food, and leave within the next hour. He was completely aware of the schedule and when it was around, or a week before it would, he made sure to wait before throwing the food. He turned around and headed back towards the bush, tail twitching again.

Stormheart chuckled slightly "Yep, paws were too big and I was way too clumsy. Couldn't catch a mouse if it ran right between my paws." He nodded at Gorsebrair "Of course," he could remember using his loud steps to scare out prey during hunting patrols so that they would run directly into the paws of his clanmates, "everyone is better at some things than others." He kept his voice quiet in order to allow Ivypaw the chance to catch the squirrel that had climbed down the tree; purring in approval as she made her way back towards them with the squirrel in her jaws. "Lets see what else we can find."

{Warrior} {Tags: Mossflight}
"Great!" she meowed warmly before making her towards the camp entrance,"I was thinking of heading towards the stream, should be some prey looking for water." Nodding towards their deputy and the border patrol as she walked out of camp. She let her ears swivel around, picking up all of the small sounds of the forest. It was so different from their old home in the open meadows, but she felt like she had adapted well enough in the time they had been here. She froze as a blackbird fluttered onto the ground a few tail lengths away, she flicked her tail towards Mossflight before crouching down and creeping her way forward. Using the early morning shadows and her dark pelt to her advantage, she leapt forward, batting the bird onto the ground as it tried to fly away and biting its neck.

{Apprentice} {Mentor: Feathercloud} {Tags: Feathercloud}
Wolfpaw perked up at both at Feathercloud's mention of battle training and the prospect of a surprise. "Really!" he mewed excitedly, picking up the vole and scrabbling back down the rocks to bury it in the dirt to pick up later. "What is it?" he could feel excitement thrumming in his veins and had to work to keep himself from bouncing slightly, "Is it something new that none of the other's have?" He grinned slightly, his mind already racing with what the surprise might be.

Brackenstar nodded. "I found a pretty good space while I was out yesterday. We can go there." He told the she-cat and apprentices. Standing up, he used his tail to signal them to follow him. "Now, Emberglow's out on a patrol, so I can't be out for long, but we should have enough time to do a little training. Or at least, to get you guys started."

The queen nodded. "Alright. I'll go get Splashpaw and someone to find Ravenfeather." Pearfluff mewed. Pearfluff looked down at her kits, her face stern and serious. "Owlkit, Whitekit, you two are to stay here, in your nest while I'm out. Got it? Do not, under any circumstance, leave the nursery and do not bother Ashcloud," she told them, pushing them into the nest with her nose. Once the kits were in the nest, Pearfluff raced out of the nursery. Looking around, she saw Brackenstar start to lead Splashpaw, Drizzlepaw, and Kestreldawn out of camp. "Splashpaw!" The queen yowled, racing over to them. "Ashcloud's having some pains. She's not supposed to be kitting for another couple of days, but we need you. Could someone find Ravenfeather?" She asked.

Ｉｖｙｐａｗ 「Molly」「7 m」「Apprentice」「Mentor: Gorsebriar」「Tags: Gorsebriar, Stormheart, Cherrypaw」

Despite how annoying she found the older apprentice, she was happy to hear Cherrypaw's praise. She certainly liked it a lot more than his taunting. "Thank you." The apprentice meowed in response as they continued to look for some more prey to hunt.

"Good idea," Mossflight mewed, following the she-cat out of camp. Seeing the blackbird at the same time as Nightfrost, the tom froze, keeping quiet and allowing the she-cat to snatch up the prey. Once caught, the tom cat padded up to her. "Nice catch!" He praised her. "That's gonna look nice in the fresh-kill pile."

Whitekit's eyes widened as her mother interrupted their playtime, pushing her into the den. Seeing her mother's face, the she-kit laid in the nest and nodded at her mother's words, too shocked to say anything in response.
