โญโญโญ on his way back to his apprentice, liontuft was distracted by the pathetic looking remnants of the fresh-kill pile. a measly shrew and squirrel lay where the pile should of been, though he could scent that cats had taken some prey to the nursery. even though the pile was running low it was good his clanmates were still following the rules and doing their duties. we're going to need another hunting patrol. the deputy decided, heading once again to the warriors den. the fluffy ginger tom caught a glimpse of his good friend, wolfcall, settling down to groom himself, and changed his direction to pad over to him. perfect. there was no one liontuft could trust more than the loyal warrior to lead a hunting patrol. "ah, wolfcall, greetings," he dipped his head in polite greeting to the dark-furred warrior, " i was wondering if you could lead a hunting patrol for me?" he paused for a moment while he thought about who wolfcall should take. "take locustsight and her apprentice, hornetsting and.... chestnutbelly." he added, spotting the long furred tabby struggle with the decision of whether to visit his mother or not. it looked like he needed a distraction and, well, chestnutbelly was starting to look like one of the queens; the young tom clearly had a big appetite but the deputy didn't mind as long as the clan was fed first.
thoughts of the clan's code phased into thoughts of his mate once more. maybe it would be best for the two of them to bond a bit, after all, they were mated for life and they were both loyal to the code, so why not try to be at least friends? liontuft gave a mental nod to himself; today he would invite pinebreath to join his training session with smokepaw. she was a great warrior in her own right and he was sure she would be able to offer him some good insight.
as if summoned by his thoughts, pinebreath appeared at liontuft's side with a forceful headbutt, making the fluffy ginger tom jump on his paws. liontuft regained his formal posture quickly, puffing his chest out once more and standing tall, trying to hide his embarrassment at being startled by his mate. "oh pinebreath, greetings." he mewed formally, clearing his throat with a quick cough. "i was just about to come and find you to ask if you wanted to, actually." liontuft's ears went hot, saying it out loud made him doubt whether it was a good idea for her to join; he didn't want to risk getting too close to her in case she left him like his mother left his father. but then again, the code said they were mated for life so he guessed there would be no harm in her joining his training session, it wasn't like they were going to be having kits, it was only a training session... right?

โญโญโญ a purr rumbled from deep inside her body as she listened to waspwing speak; it filled her heart with pride to hear her ex mentor's mate praise her in such a way. granted, pebblefrost didn't know him as well as she knew lilyleaf and she hadn't spent as much time around him, but, in a lot of little ways, waspwing had been like a parent to her too. "oh, well, thank you waspwing, hearing that means a lot coming from you." the silver furred molly shuffled her paws in modest embarrassment as she spoke and let out a chuckle, "don't worry, though, i wouldn't dare to try and make you look bad!" she couldn't help but disagree with a part of the tom's statement, though. pebblefrost was definitely the lucky to have lilyleaf; the queen had basically all-but raised her and made her the cat she was today and that was something was something to be proud of. one day pebblefrost hoped to be half the cat her adoptive mother was. the young warrior was snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of someone mentioning waspwing from just outside the den. she dipped her head in return to the tom, "of course i will, have fun!" she mewed in reply, realising she was still stood in the nursery entrance and taking a step aside to let waspwing pass.
pebblefrost spun around on her paws when she heard a faint whimper behind her to see lilyleaf pushing herself up in her nest. "oh good morning, lilyleaf!" she mewed as she padded over to her ex mentor and touched noses with her briefly, "waspwing was just here but he got called away on a patrol, he told me to tell you good morning from him too!" the silver furred tabby sat back on her haunches to get a good look at the calico queen. "how are you feeling? are you comfortable? have you had any pains? should i get mothcloud? are you eating enough? - here eat this - is there anything i can do for you?" pebblefrost rambled out a sequence of questions at a rapid mew, leaning forward to sniff at lilyleaf's belly vigorously. she knew how sad her adoptive mother had been after losing her first litter and she just couldn't bare to see her go through it again; she would do whatever she could to make sure lilyleaf would never go through that pain again.

โญโญโญsmallfern let out a loud squeak of embarrassment as her mate replied. she hadn't thought about whether the elders or queens had eaten yet. "i-i-i..." she shuffled her paws awkwardly as she stammered an attempt to reply. all of a sudden she flattened her ears against her fluffy black and white head, spun around on her paws and sprinted out of the den. how can i face him now after embarrassing myself in such a way? she thought in despair, i'm such a bad warrior, i should of checked first! she shook her head in disappointment as she entered the clearing of the camp. she skidded to a halt in the centre and spun her head around frantically in search of her sister. she would know what to do. smallfern spotted applenose talking to chestnutbelly near the edge of the clearing, and, after a moment's pause to regain her posture, she padded over to join them.
once near, smallfern lingered a few tail-lengths away from them and waited for them both to finish talking; she wasn't one to interrupt anyone, especially her sister. "good morning, applenose, chestnutbelly." she dipped her head shyly in turn to each of them; she felt awful to intrude in this way. i'll talk to applenose later about whiteberry. she decided, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of chestnutbelly as well as her mate. "well, if neither of you have been called on patrol, maybe we could all go do some hunting?" she mewed in response to chestnutbelly's last statement, "i know for definite i could do with getting out of camp and clearing my head a bit." smallfern shot a sidewards glance at her sister as if to say, "i'll talk to you about it later." admittedly, smallfern didn't relish the idea of hunting in the woods that surrounded camp... what if one of the trees collapsed and crushed her or worse, her sister? but unfortunately they lived in a forest and the clan needed to be fed plus, it would be a good way to make up for her mistake of suggesting she and whiteberry ate before the rest of the clan.
