apprentice ‣ 10 moons ‣ tom ‣ mentor: liontuft

with his nose tucked into his side, smokepaw awoke to meet fur in his eyes and yawning maw. pulling his head back quickly, he wasn't too worried if he were to bump into another sleeping apprentice. he blinked in the first moments of the day, still in an exhausted daze. unsure of what had awoke him, smokepaw's eyes made there way to the entrance of the den, recognizing jaguarpaw and briarpaw bounding out of the den.

they're going on a patrol?

smokepaw didn't catch who was leading or joining the patrol, but maybe he could sneak his way in.

"who's going? who's going?" smokepaw chirped as he scrambled to his stiff legs, taking long and stretched steps out of the den. his long-furred tail was held high as he picked his steps over the sleeping apprentice.

smokepaw was met with the early morning glow of the sun, both glinting with and warming his pelt.

he peered around to try and assume the patrol was gathering but couldn't make out any specific cats gathering. he worried that we wasn't able to go, but he'd figure he'd try and whine his was with his mentor.

smokepaw's round eyes scanned the camp trying to find the fluffy ginger pelt, or even the proud stance he held that stood out from others.
── a tall, smoky black and white tom with green eyes

⭒⭒⭒ liontuft awoke to the sounds of his clanmates beginning to stir around him. mouse dung! he cursed himself silently as he sprung to his paws and glanced around the den. the deputy relaxed when he realised only a few of his denmates had actually woken up and he wasn't running as late as he thought. ever since starting his deputy duties, he loved to get up earlier than any other cat and go for a quick run around the territory; it woke him up in the mornings so he wasn't full of sleep when he started arranging patrols, plus, the territory in the early hours of the day were always so peaceful. it also gave him a chance to check what needed to be done around their home. liontuft blinked away his thoughts and shook the sleep out of his fluffy dark red fur. he would groom himself after he'd sent out the patrols; he was lucky enough that a quick shake of his pelt would tame it for a while.
he was about to start picking his way around the sleeping bodies of his fellow warriors when he caught a glimpse of his mate's body curled up, fast asleep, in her den next to his. he sighed, she was a very pretty she-cat and liontuft cared for her a lot but he was almost convinced she was just playing her part in the relationship. though this saddened him, it also pleased him; he was lucky to have been assigned a mate who was as loyal to the code as he was and he just wouldn't of been able to bare it if he was paired with someone like his mother. thoughts of his mother caused his eyes to stray to the empty nest on the other side of his. he had begun to miss the warmth of his sister's body next to him as he slept and the nights had felt lonelier now she had moved to the nursery. i mean, sure, he had pinebreath but the two were always so formal with each other and it's not like they never curled up together. liontuft let out a frustrated sigh, things were so complicated, and touched pinebreath's flank briefly with his fluffy ginger tail before padding out the warriors to start the day.

the deputy stepped out into the main camp's clearing and took a moment to take in the morning buzz of the clan. he caught a glimpse of fur out of the corner of his eye and turned his head to briarpaw and jaguarpaw burst out of the apprentice den, looking frantic. he let out a chuckle to himself as he heard the words "morning patrol" and "are we too late?" liontuft puffed out his chest as pride filled his body; it warmed his heart to see apprentices so eager to do their part for the clan.
he padded over to the two apprentices and sat down in front of them, curling his tail around his paw. "good morning you two. why don't you go and wake up your mentors and do the morning patrol today?" he paused for a moment while he thought of who else should be on the patrol, "tell them to take pigeonpoppy with you too." he added, spotting the tabby warrior sitting near the fresh-kill pile.
liontuft was distracted by his own apprentice, smokepaw, emerging from the apprentice den. "ah smokepaw," the dark red tom dipped his head in greeting to the small tabby, "how do you feel about some battle training today once i finish sending out the patrols?" he knew the apprentice preferred hunting over fighting but he would be way too energetic first thing in the morning to concentrate on the hunt so it would be best to burn off some of that energy, besides, they could always hunt on the way back. liontuft lifted his tail to signal he would be right back as he dashed off towards another pair of waking clanmates. "brilliant, leopardflame, burnshadow, off hunting if i hear correctly? good. take ghostwhisper, mosspaw and blizzardpaw with you as well." he nodded his fluffy ginger head formally to them both before trotting off back towards his apprentice without giving them a chance to reply.

_____________________________________________

⭒⭒⭒ the pale morning light that filtered through the entrance to the warriors den glared through pebblefrost's eyelids, causing her to awake with a silent groan. as the newest warrior, the silver coated molly had the worst nest in the den; it was right near the entrance, the sun woke her every morning and she would often wake up with damp fur if it rained the night before. she missed the apprentice den deeply, it was so much warmer and it reminded her of a simpler time in her life; she wasn't as close to the warriors as she was to the apprentices and she missed training with her mentor, lilyleaf. the kind hearted queen had been like a mother to her during her apprenticeship and the fact that she wasn't there to share the warriors den with her anymore made her feel lonelier than ever. pebblefrost was happy for her former mentor, though, and she sent a silent prayer to starclan that all would go well with this litter of kits. at least she has waspwing. she decided, feeling a small flicker of jealousy that the tom seemed to care so deeply for the spotted queen. the young warrior let out a sigh as she turned her pale, yellow eyes on her own assigned mate. tigergaze was a handsome tom, there was no doubt about that, but the two had been mates for two moons already and had spent zero time together. pebblefrost could understand the distance from her mate; he'd spent sixteen moons without a mate and had grown accustom to being able to flirt with whoever he wish, well, that was until pebblefrost had been made a warrior and messed all that up. she was worried the tom resented her for taking away his freedom but she wasn't about to talk to him about it because she was still too shy around him as she had always had a crush on him herself. warrior life is so complicated compared to an apprentice's. the thought lead her to the decision to visit lilyleaf in the nursery and she gave a swift lick to her silver pelt before rising to her paws and padding out of the den.

once out in the clearing, pebblefrost headed straight for the fresh-kill pile, examining it closely. the young molly spotted a decent looking blackbird and picked it up gently in her jaws. the clan's code called for queens to be one of the first fed so at least she could carry out her clan duties while visiting her former mentor. with a feeling of satisfaction, she trotted happily to the cave dug into the wall of the gorge that formed the nursery and pushed her way through quietly so that she didn't wake any of the sleeping cats inside. pebblefrost was startled to see a plump rabbit and the body of waspwing laid next to lilyleaf's delicate frame. "oh waspwing, my apologises," she mewed softly to her ex mentor's mate, "i was just bringing lilyleaf some breakfast but it seems you beat me to it." she lowed herself onto her belly, tucking her pale stripped paws neatly under her chest. "i'm happy for shadowheart to have this blackbird though, it looks like she's going to need all the energy she can get with that bundle of energy." she chuckled, nodding her head in the direction of fogkit, who was up on her paws yowling in her mother's ear.

_____________________________________________

⭒⭒⭒ smallfern shuffled around uncomfortably in her nest; the night had been fairly chilly but she didn't have the warmth of her mate sleeping next to her for her to rest comfortably. the two had been mates for a few moons now but the fluffy black and white molly knew whiteberry's heart didn't belong to her. of course nothing had been said to her directly, but she saw the way her mate looked at other she-cats, especially peachpaw and lilyleaf. smallfern liked her mate a lot, he seemed like such a sweet, caring tom and while she wasn't sure she had feelings for him, it still hurt her that he showed very little interest in her. the clan's code forbade relationships outside of the ones assigned by their leader, so why couldn't whiteberry at least pretend to make an effort with her? then she decided. if whiteberry wasn't going to make the effort with her, then it was down to her to make the effort with him. i'll show him he has no reason to stray from this relationship! she thought to herself with more courage than she felt, i want a family at some point and if we're stuck together he's going to need to pay attention to me for that to happen.
smallfern rose to her paws and turned to her mate's sleeping white body before giving him a gentle prod in his flank. "u-um, w-whiteberry?" she stammered, always so shy to talk to him, "d-do you maybe w-want to get some b-breakfast with me this morning?" the bicoloured molly leaned away from her mate as she spoke, ready to turn-tail and run away in embarrassment if he rejected her. she jumped suddenly as the sound of a rustling nest sounded behind her. she spun around on her paws to see it was just one of her denmates waking and leaving the den. good, she thought, feeling relieved as she let out a breath of rapture, the walls of the den aren't collapsing. with a disappointed frown at herself for being so jumpy she turned her attention back to her mate as she waited for him to reply to her invitation. smallfern padded the ground with her paws anxiously; whiteberry accepting her invitation would be the first step to making their assigned relationship work, or for them to at least be friends, and she didn't want to think about what she would do if he declined. she knew a lot of her clanmates thought she was a bit weird with her irrational fears and skittishness so she didn't exactly have many friends to confide in about her problems.

rolling out of her nest in the morning always seemed harder than it had to be. truth be told, mothcloud loved sleeping. from her vivid dreams to being able to escape reality, it gave her comfort. but with the dawn of each day, there were responsibilities that came with her role in the clan, and thus, she always woke up early anyways. mothcloud sighed to herself as she woke, looking over to see her sleeping apprentice. she'd had an odd dream, but would never dare tell a soul of her subconscious visions.

she'd dreamed about swiftstar before, but not in the way she had last night. the two were walking alone on the night of a full moon, running through the forest like they were young and careless. reckless. there had been affection, sweet nothings... mothcloud was honestly ashamed of herself for the images her subconscious projected into the back of her eyelids while she slept.

flicking her tail, the fluffy golden tabby woke her apprentice gently. "peachpaw, time to wake. we need to go gather more cobwebs while we can still spot them easily with the morning dew." she meowed, using her paw to softly stir the small cream apprentice awake.

the bengal tabby molly smiled softly as her assigned partner stirred and rose from his slumber. "no worries, you were easier to wake up than my old mentor." she joked, nudging the tom gently. "i'm sorry for disturbing your rest." she said with a light shrug.

as they exited the warrior's den, liontuft approached them and mentioned taking a few more warriors on a hunt. she looked over at her partner with an interesting expression and smirked. "well, looks like it's a group then. i'll go find mosspaw and blizzardpaw if you'll find ghostwhisper, wherever he is." she meowed.

leopardflame trotted over to the apprentice's den and called out into the darkness of the cave. "mosspaw? blizzardpaw? please join me for a morning hunt." she spoke rather loudly, not really caring if she woke up any of the other apprentices. most of the clan was up already, so it was fine if they awoke to the sound of her alerting them that things were happening. after a minute she realized her apprentice definitely wasn't still in the den and cursed herself within her head for not noticing her calico pelt sticking out. blizzardpaw was yet to make an appearance, but she'd find him soon.

leopardflame padded outside of the den to see mosspaw in the clearing and trotted over to her with a smile. "good morning, mosspaw. we're going on a group hunt with burnshadow, ghostwhisper, and blizzardpaw. speaking of blizzardpaw, have you seen him this morning? i'd like us to head out while most of the prey is still waking up." she meowed, greeting her apprentice with a soft nudge. leopardflame could tell that mosspaw felt like a bit of an outsider, but she did her best as a mentor to make her feel like she was always welcome around her. the bengal molly cared deeply for her apprentice, as she was her responsibility and a good cat. she couldn't wait to see the wonderful warrior she'd grow up to be.

the ginger tom's ears perked as he heard someone enter the nursery. his eyes opened to reveal none other than pebblefrost, a kind young warrior who was fresh into her new ranking. he sat up and dipped his head politely, noticing the blackbird she'd brought in. "good morning, pebblefrost. no need to be sorry." waspwing meowed with a reassuring smile. "i'm sure lilyleaf appreciates the notion, although rest may be her main priority right now." he said with a soft chuckle.

as pebblefrost spoke, waspwing turned his gaze to shadowheart's sleeping form and fogkit, desperately trying to wake her mother up. "indeed she will. i can't even imagine what it'll be like when lilyleaf and i have kits of our own." he said with a lighthearted sigh. "lilyleaf is lucky to have you, you know. you care so much for her, it almost makes me feel like i have to work harder just to show her i care as well." the ginger tom meowed with a friendly grin, nudging pebblefrost softly in a joking manner.

waspwing's ears perked as he heard his name called from outside of the nursery. he turned to pebblefrost and dipped his head once more. "excuse me, i heard my name outside. if you stick around, please tell lilyleaf i said good morning." he meowed with a smile before padding out of the den to see briarpaw, jaguarpaw, and liontuft discussing a patrol. while the two apprentices ran off to find those they were looking for, he sat down and waited for them to approach him to leave.

the pale brown tabby giggled softly as her friend rose with a quite a start. "no, we're not, at least i don't think so. look, liontuft's awake, maybe we can go!" she meowed excitedly as the two energetically bounded out of the apprentice's den. seeing the deputy approach them first made briarpaw's ego burst a bit with pride, knowing they were the first apprentices awake did even better. "we'd love to!" briarpaw mewed with a smile, looking over at jaguarpaw. "i'll go find owlwing, when you see waspwing, let me know, and we can go find pigeonpoppy as well." she said, strategizing in her mind already. she'd been on a couple morning patrols before, but typically, other apprentices were chosen to make things more fair. patrols were something briarpaw loved, being able to walk through the territory and see the sights of the beautiful canvas of forest surrounding their clan.

she padded into the warrior's den, her ear flicking as her bicolor eyes adjusted to the dark lighting. sunlight made its way into the beginning of the den, but the back was still dark. she quickly caught the scent of her mentor and followed it outside, realizing he was already awake. she spotted him in the gorge clearing and trotted up to him with a smile on her face. "good morning, owlwing. liontuft asked us to go on a patrol with waspwing, pigeonpoppy, and jaguarpaw." she meowed triumphantly.

Chestnutbelly stretched, finding himself waking up a bit later into the morning. Ah, oh well. The day's still young, he thought, getting up and picking his way around the cats still sleeping, doing his best not to disturb them, but likely brushing a few cat's faces with his long fur. Stepping out into the sun, he purred to see the cats around him so lively and happy. Briefly he considered visiting his mother, Plumpetal, but Chestnutbelly knew the elderly calico would be far from pleased to be woken up this early. He stretched a bit more and glanced around, looking for something to do or someone to talk to.

𝓛𝓲𝓵𝔂𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓯 ★ 35 Moons | ♀ | Queen | Apprentice: | Assigned Mate: Waspwing | Tags: Pebblefrost | Mentions: Waspwing, Liontuft


Before everyone began coming into the nursery, Lilyleaf was contently curled up into herself in her nest as she tried her best to rest through the night though she had found it hard as she was having trouble sleeping by herself rather than with her mate. Though she had done it once before it was quite some time ago and it was before they grew closer as mates, having the loss of their first litter seemed to had brought them closer together. She loved him then and even more as time for them continued to go on, it seemed the longer they were together the easier things were between them. It helped that during that time between their first litter and the current one that she had an apprentice, one that she personally had spent quite some time with in the nursery. And that was Pebblefrost who was like the daughter she wanted and had though time wasn't right according to starclan. Though she was no longer her former apprentice's mentor, she still cared for her deeply and would always consider her family.

Lilyleaf barely had shifted when she smelt the freshkill being placed close to her before feeling another body beside her. She purred softly for a moment when she breathed in Waspwing's scent before the queen quickly resumed her sleep. For what didn't seem to long she stayed asleep, half-waking up as she was fighting with herself to wake up though her body was quite adamant about it needed more sleep but it was hearing two of her favorite cats in the clan talking to one another, her nose taking in the other scent of some more freshkill. She was a moon away from delivering her and her mate's kits and every dawn she swore her belly was growing larger which made her wonder how many they were getting lucky to have.

Her ears twitching as she heard someone from outside calling out names, the only one she heard clear enough was her mates which woke her up enough to see him getting up. The queen let out a soft whine as the tom had moved from beside her and out of the nursery before she got a good look at him, sighing once to herself as she knew who to blame for him leaving, her brother ━ Liontuft ━ the deputy. "Good morning Pebblefrost," she purred to her despite her sad whine only a moment before from her realization that her mate had left her side. She noticed the rabbit which she smelt earlier which she knew Waspwing had brought her before she glanced at the bird Pebblefrost had still, she was grateful for these two cats in her life they were two of the three important cats to her.

Blossomstorm had been curled up in her nest that was not far from her brother and his mates, barely being waken from several of the cats starting to leave the nests and start their day. She was typically an early riser though she had been on the moon high patrol and was catching up on the bit of sleep she had missed. Though hearing Burnshadow's name, she had woken up and glanced over towards them, shaking her head some as Leopardflame was lucky her brother didn't bicker about being woken up. Part of her wanted to complain but she had managed to fall back asleep only moments later with her tail covering her eyes as the sun was starting to peak its way through. Part of her knew she should of gone out there though, she wanted to be deputy and deputies had to always up early and assign patrols which didn't stop just because they did go on a moon high patrol. But part of her wasn't also feeling good, she felt worn out and warm and perhaps a little bit exhausted. She needed some rest but she knew if someone did wake her for a patrol she would get up and go without any questions.

Blizzardpaw was no stranger to not following the rules, the tom had left the camp just before dawn as he wanted to see the sun rise. It was something him and his belated father would do sometimes but that didn't get to happen anymore however he would still go out to their spot. It was never a certain time of the moon or anything, his father would just come and wake him up from his nest in the apprentice den before the sun would rise once more. It was a beautiful way to start the morning though as an apprentice by himself outside of the camp though not terribly far as he was perched up in one of the trees, he would still get in trouble if he didn't go back soon. Someone would realize and he could easily get in trouble but thankfully he knew how to be stealthy.

Before he got off the branch and began climbing down it, he had let out a sigh to himself ━ he missed his father. It was somewhere he shared with him for the past several moons since he became an apprentice and now he wasn't here to share it. All the time he is reminded about the pack of wolves himself, he has a scar from when he fought one off along with a patrol from a moon ago. He didn't mind when he was told he would be most likely scared as he thought it was something to remember his first battle by, now it's a daily reminder that things can go wrong quickly as it was another wolf that had been the source of his fathers death. While he had managed to get into camp he heard Liontuft calling out names for patrols though he lingered along the sides of the camp as he didn't want to look like he had just re-entered camp. He was nearly back to the apprentice den when Leopardflame had called into it just after, he stalked low and relaxed as the warrior went over to her apprentice Mosspaw. Now he just had to worry about his own mentor on where he was, but he didn't know where he was at all. While he looked around he snuck back into the apprentice den, hoping Mosspaw nor the others would say he hadn't been in his nest when any of them woke.

She sat there still just watching around, but her ears were listening to the conversations, or what she heard from them, she was not that interested in other things, but hearing her name being mentioned by the deputy got her interest. She didn't hear why her name was being mentioned, but the movements from other cats told her that it was either of the morning patrols, now she could only figure out which were going out with her. She watched the cats around the deputy seeing Jaguarpaw and Briarpaw walking away from him, which made her think that she was likely ordered to join the two apprentices and their mentors, Maybe she could walk closer to the camp entrance to see if she was right or not.

Wait what did you ask? a breakfast? Are the rest of the clan eaten then?" he meowed to her, starting to get up.

Sighing she gave a quick wash off her face and cleaned her messy fur before walked out of the den. Her gaze stopped to the few large groups, which seemed to be a patrol, heading out, her mentor was not seen either of them so she thought she was either with her mate or still sleeping ' I hope she is sleeping, then she can't tell it's me who slept too long' she thought herself with a smirk.

//////Wolfcall was never much one for mornings, though he didn’t particularly resent having to wake up early either. That said, he was never one to waste an opportunity for extra sleep. Today, unfortunately, was not turning out to be one such day. Ever the light sleeper, his black ears twitched as he stirred from his rest at the hushed mutterings of mates to one another. Sigh. It was too early in the morning for this, but some cats just felt they had to wake up their mate as soon as they, too, woke up — without any consideration for their sleeping denmates! If there was one flaw in the system of assigned mates that EmberClan employed, Wolfcall would argue that it was the fact that many of his clanmates seemed to take the arrival of the dawn as an opportune time for a social call with their designated partner. One such couple, Smallfern & Whiteberry, was still in the warrior’s den and he shot them a withering look as he stood up and hastily made his retreat out of the den, careful not to bother anyone else - unlike some cats - now that he was awake.

//////Now that Wolfcall stood within the gorge that made up the EmberClan camp, he blinked his amber gaze against the light of the sun, still feeling a tad drowsy. He stretched his legs behind himself absentmindedly; there was no particular meaning behind the gesture, it was simply an automatic morning ritual he’d picked up from back when he was still an apprentice. Feeling more awake after the little exercise, the black-furred tom could see that some cats were congregating into small groups — presumably the patrols that were going out this morning. Seeing as no one seemed to be particularly rushed to talk to him, he took a gander that he hadn’t been called for either of the gathered patrols, so perhaps he could take a moment to relax before going out later! Now was as good a time as any to get some r&r, after all, with many clanmates still snoozing away in their comfortable nests.

//////Deciding to go with that for the time being, Wolfcall relaxed into a seated position and began the lengthy process of grooming his thick, dark fur. His pelt offered excellent protection against chilly weather, especially come leaf-bare, but came with the tradeoff of a looong grooming time to make himself look presentable. Sure, he could do something more productive - like deliver food to the queens (really, the nursery was starting to get overcrowded with all the expecting she-cats) or the elders - but that was a job better suited for the apprentices. His own stomach rumbled to remind him that he hadn’t eaten since last night, but the clan had to come first, as always.

”Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Burnshadow let loose a long yawn, a shake of his head at the end of it with some lax blinks. He ran his tongue over his chest fur a few times when she started to speak once more. Towards the last lick, he stop mid of it just to side eye her then glance away shyly, his ears lowering slightly. “Honesty, don’t apologize. I needed to be up anyway. You’re doing me a favor.” He murmured and resumed back to licking his fur to groom his coat.

Liontuft’s appearance caused Burnshadow’s previous demeanor to shift and he found himself regaining his composure, his cool. He wasted no time scooting closer Leopardflame and stand closely by his mate’s side, listening to the words of the clan deputy. It wasn’t unusual for the warrior to be this way with others near Leopardflame, he was just maybe a bit weary if he didn’t stick close while others were around. It wasn’t like others hadn’t thought they weren’t a good match so this was probably the results of the voices of others getting into his head.

“I hope the warrior is easy to find,” a low grumble came from the tom, dismissing himself with a flick of his tail to Leopardflame. Burnshadow went back into the warriors den to see if Ghostwhisper was still inside. He hoped the other warrior wouldn’t be too hard to find. “Ghostwhisper. Are you in here?” He called out in a medium like tone, not to be too loud but not too low either.

It had been a long night for Riverclaw, tossing and turning in his nest nonstop. It went on for what seemed like forever to him. Eventually, the feline grew tired of being able to not sleep properly, finally rising in his nest. Unaware of the reason to cause this the tom merely brushed off his problem by deciding he’d just go out for some fresh air. Silently as possible he tip toed around his den mates as he headed towards the entrance of the den, quickly emerging to the outside once he was close enough.

The sky was still dark when Riverclaw glanced up, yet slight breaks in the color was noticeable. Dawn was making its approach. The temperature was cool, but that seemed to be normal around this time. He padded just a bit away from the warriors den and sat down, taking the chance to look back up towards the sky. Left alone with his thoughts, Riverclaw remained in this spot until cats began to awake and fill the the space around him.

Jaguarpaw’s head turned around to acknowledge Smokepaw’s presence; the fact that he showed up behind both Briarpaw and himself just meant that Jaguarpaw had been loud. He silently sent an apology towards Briarpaw with a quick glance before letting out a short sigh. “Morning patrol should be leaving soon!” He exclaimed, no longer caring if he was too loud or not anymore. He was thrilled about the thought of joining the morning patrol and he’d share it with the world now. At this point it didn’t matter anyway, someone had already awoken, because of his actions most likely, despite Briarpaw wanting to be able to sneak away.

Standing besides Briarpaw, he looked behind to see if Smokepaw was following them, not wanting to leave his den mate out of the loop. Her words caught his attention though and he looked away from the den to see the ginger deputy coming their way. It was as if Starclan had been watching and was on their side, granting them some luck. As if, but Jaguarpaw knew that they were fortunate enough to have Liontuft approaching.

For a second, and only a second, he had forgotten about Smokepaw, the thrill from actually being picked on the morning patrol almost too overwhelming. However, he tried to remain composed, a uncontainable smile plastering his face. Even while Briarpaw was explaining the strategy he just wanted to rush off on his own already to get his mentor, but he knew better. “Right, I’ll be back in a flash!” He responded when she finished, stepping in place to get a move on.

“Sorry, I have to make like a mouse running, Smokepaw! I’ll catch you later, yeah?” The bengal tom had called from over his shoulder as he already started to pad away after Briarpaw towards the warrior den to find his mentor, so there wasn’t much time given to the smokey furred apprentice to answer. He wasn’t intentionally trying to follow Briarpaw, but he had to check if Waspwing was inside the warriors den. If the warrior wasn’t there the apprentice could only think of one other place his mentor could be.

Jaguarpaw stopped in from of the warriors den, poking his head in and began to sniff around. With every inhale the bengal feline took the more he began to realize his mentor might not be inside, which meant it was pointless to call out. He didn’t want to chance waking any sleeping warrior and possibly chance facing their wrath. Shaking his head at the scary thought he backed out and turned around to face the nursery. Low and behold, Waspwing just so happen to be sitting outside of it. What were the chances, what a coincidence. There you are!

“Waspwing, Waspwing, Waspwing!” Jaguarpaw excitedly called out, rushing over to the older tom, skidding to a halt when he neared. “We’re going on a patrol with Briarpaw, Owlwing, and Pigeonpoppy.” Once more the young bengal apprentice began to step in place unable to control his paws from moving so much. He watched the tom with bright ice-blue eyes, the excitement clearly reflecting off of them too. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Hornetsting peeked a single amber eye open into the light shining into the den. A quiet groan escaped him as rolled himself onto his stomach, looking around the den with an exasperated look. If the sun could just go a little slower... it'd make his life a whole lot easier. After becoming a warrior, he used his new privileges to their full extent and then some. After all, he'd worked hard to make sleeping in a habit. However that didn't prevent the icky feeling he got from wasting away. Plus, he'd have to make use out of himself before he had everyone down his back.

The pale tabby lifted himself from his nest with a yawn, making sure to stretch each of his limbs before heading outside. He blinked a few times as he adjusted to the sunlight, peering around with uninterested eyes. After a moment of surveying the camp, he made his way over to a decently empty spot where he groomed himself, paw flicking over his ear as he studied that morning's patrol. Turns out he didn't sleep that late in. A shame. He avoided the patrol's eyes as if they'd force him to come along on a whim, he wouldn't risk that.

Instead he made himself comfy as he continued to busy himself.

Merlotvine laid close to the entrance of the elders den, looking towards the morning patrol with a pitying gaze. One thing she didn't miss about being a warrior, waking up early and having to do border patrol. Her nose wrinkled at the memories, green eyes shifting back into the den to a sleeping Plumpetal. Her eyes rolled gently as she lifted herself off of the ground, stretching her paw over to push the she-cat with the intent of waking her. What boring denmates she had.

"Are you going to sleep the day away, Plumpetal?" She shook her head with a scolding tone. "Lazy." Her words however were in good nature as she looked expectantly to the she-cat with amused eyes.
