.
Squirrelpaw shifted through the herbs in front of, she had a small pile of daisy leaves in next to her paws. She had separated out a small portion for Dawnpetal. The elderly she-cat had been complaining of aching joints recently and she planned on bringing them to the kind elder after finishing up. She had taken it upon herself to sort through the herbs, there had been a few that needed to removed. Its why she had a few bundles of herbs on the floor of the den now. Shifting slightly nodded to herself, the herbs looked good. There weren't as many as she thought there were that needed to be removed. Reaching out she hooked a pile of herbs with her claw and began to replace the herbs, careful to keep the bad herbs separated from the good. As she worked she took note of the herbs that they were getting low on. Thankfully it looked like they had enough catmint left over, they would have to worry about having to find that herb for now. They were running a bit low on borage leaves and marigold but she wasn't sure if they would be able to find those plants now they were in leafbare. They would just have to hope that they wouldn't need those herbs any time soon. The other herbs were stocked well enough. Aside from herbs she made a mental note to grab some more moss for their stock, they would need more if a cat got sick or injured. Also it couldn't hurt to have a little extra in case the other dens needed more. It didn't take her long before she was done. Pulling back she let her gaze rake over her work, once she was sure that everything was ready she peered into Heavybelly's den. "I am going to bring some daisy leaves to Dawnpetal, I'll be right back" she chirped and backed away from the entrance. Dipping her head she gingerly picked up the leaves and patted towards the den entrance.

Pausing at the den entrance she glanced back. "I'll bring back some fresh kill for you when I am done helping Dawnpetal" she meowed around the leaves in her jaws. Then she slipped out of the den and into the sunlight. With a shiver of appreciation she noticed that the rest of the clan was awake. As she cast her gaze across the clan she couldn't help but notice that the elder wasn't among them. It would make tracking the molly down easier and it also confirmed what she had known. Dawnpetal's joints were really bothering the elder. Padding through the camp she silently slipped past her clanmates that were gathered around the fresh kill pile. Slipping into the elder's den she heard rustling as the elder raised their head to peer at her. "I brought some daisy leaves for your joints" she meowed as the elder rose to their paws and padded over to join her. A rumbled of thanks rose from the molly chest and the lilac tortoiseshell flicked their tail across Squirrelpaw's shoulders. "Thank you Squirrelpaw" the she-cat purred. "I can take it from here, you should join the others. If I need anything I will find you I promise" Dawnpetal added and pushed her towards the entrance. With a dip of her head she slipped back into camp in time to see Adderstar sitting under his den. The leader was part way through giving out orders for patrol and she slipped across camp to sit just outside the medicine cat den. From the sounds of it her brother was headed out out on a hunting patrol.

.
The sound of his name being spoken drew Ebonypaw's attention, though he looked equally irritated and cautious as he listened. He flinched as though he had been stung and his ears drew back as guilt flickered across his dark yellow eyes. Ducking his head he drew his tail tighter around his paws and hunched slightly. He knew that his mentor was right but that didn't mean that it hurt to hear it. He didn't mean to be such a horrible friend, it was just all to easy to imagine that every other cat thought of him in the same way he thought of himself. That he would never been a good enough to be a warrior. Before he could dwell on those thoughts Briarlily spoke up asking his mentor the most wrong place wrong time question. Though he doubted there would ever be a good time to ask Tallflower if the older tom regretted their past. Ebonypaw was young and he hadn't been born when Tallerflower had been an apprentice but even he knew the story. Snowfeather, Snowpaw at the time had gone on patrol with their parents and had been the only one to survive the fox attack. It was just rude to make Tallflower think about it. For a moment his neck fur bristled before he realized he might be able to help. Forcing himself to think about his own family he let himself lower in a half crouch, his ears staying flicked back, this time in pain rather than anger. Without lifting his head he let out a tiny pitiful whimper. "I miss my parents, Duskkit and Poppykit. I wish they had never gotten greencough" he whispered, grief making his voice crack slightly. It was true, he missed his parents and siblings horrible and sometimes he wished that they could be all together again.

.
Bluepaw's murmur of acknowledgment brought a purr rumbling deep in Snowfeather and he had to back out of the den before he disturbed the young cat. Giving his chest fur a quick lick he settled down just outside the apprentice den while he waited for Bluepaw to wake up and get ready for the day. The rest of the camp was humming with activities, the border patrol was headed out while the hunting patrol was still milling around the camp. They seemed to be waiting for Liongaze to lead them out of the camp. Adderstar and Emberflight were sharing a minnow off to the side and Squirrelpaw the medicine cat apprentice was sitting outside the medicine cat den. The rest of the clan that hadn't been assigned to a patrol were milling around the camp in pairs or groups. Soon the mentors left behind would be gathering their apprentices for training. As he was observing the clan Bluepaw nosed their way out of the apprentice's den and joined him just outside the entrance. "Good morning Bluepaw" he purred in reply. Pushing himself to his paws he arched his back in a luxurious stretch. "Yes, Driftsplash was telling me the nursery's moss is getting a bit old and she and Creamflower would appreciate some fresh moss" he meowed. He took a step towards the camp entrance and then glanced back at Bluepaw his gaze warm. "I promise I won't keep you long, once we have gathered enough moss I can take care of the rest. I am sure you mentor will want do training with you today and I don't mind cleaning out the nursery today" he meowed. It was no secret that he was particularly interested in making sure the nursery was warm and cozy for the queens and their kits, with his own mate there he had a vested interest. That being said he had always tried to make sure that someone was looking after the queens and elders.

flicking his tail the grey and white tom looked down at his apprentice "oh, hello Lightpaw" the warrior greeted softly, pushing himself into a sitting position "have you just woken up? you should get a bite to eat before we do anything today, I dont jeed you passing out on me" Hickorynose grymbled softly, his ear flucking as he eyed the young tom.

a soft chuckled left the orange tabby as she watched her usually quiet brother fuss over his apprentice "relaxe Hickorynose, Lightpaw is a smart tom, im sure he knows to eat before working" the fluffy she-cat snorted. looking up Applesweep caught Speckledheart's eye, she sent him a soft smile but it quickly fell as he tyrned his attention to something else; feeling displeased the tabby huffed, turning back to Hickorynose and Lightpaw.

Her thoughts were distracted when she noticed her assigned mate not sitting far away in the camp clearing. Perhaps I'll check in on the apprentices once they've left the camp with their mentors to train, Eveningpoppy promised herself and trotted over to the tom. He also seemed lost in his thoughts, but she settled down into a sitting position beside him and cast her gaze over the clearing. "Good morning, Thistlehawk," Eveningpoppy murmured politely. Despite her kindness, she wasn't sure how to talk to him.

Turning away from the sight of a she-cat he was forbidden to have feelings for, he shook his head at his thoughts. Since he had come to live in Reedclan at a young age, Swanfern had promised himself that he would be loyal to the rules and traditions that they had taught him as an apprentice. Sometimes he wondered if other cats struggled the same way... but for now, he would search for Lightningleaf and remain with her. As if on cue, Swanfern saw her trotting into camp with her pelt in disarray and dripping wet from the long strands of fur. "Did you go swimming in the marsh again?" he teased as he approached her, his tail held high and curling at the tip. Swanfern knew that she enjoyed being in the marsh, but he always wondered how she managed to get so soaked.

"Right! I'll go eat something," he promised, grateful for the temporary excuse to get away from his mentor, as brief as it may be. Lightpaw glanced over at his mentor's sister and offered her a bright smile, mainly for sticking up for him. Not that he needed it. Hickorynose seemed grumpy this morning, and Applesweep was huffing about something across the clearing, but he didn't want to know what was going on. Lightpaw bounded over to the fresh-kill pile and mulled over his choices, humming to himself quietly. "A fish or a frog?" he murmured and poked a claw at the two pieces of prey. Finally, Lightpaw scooped up the frog and plopped it in front of him. Settling down, he took a bite out of the green creature and chewed thoughtfully. Would he get the chance to have some more free time today?

a soft breeze rolled through the territory, ruffling the soft fur of a orange and grey patched feline, blinking her dull orbs she rose to her paws she started towards the deputy but stopped as she watched the older she-cat approach her assigned mate- Thistlehawk; not wanting to disturb the two she remained in her place, thoughts drifting back to when Willowtail was alive. sighing Mistleap turned her attention to something else, as she scanned the camp her gaze fell on the large orange tabby form of Owlpaw as he emerged from the Apprentices den, purring at tge sight of her son Mistleap quickly approached the young tom "you're late getting up again, figriver is going to be upset" she said while licking down a patch of fur on his head.

startled by the sudden pressure on his head the orange tabby pulled back "mother please!" he hissed, embarrassed by Mistleap's acction; rollong his eyes he flicked his tail "yeah, like figriver hasnt slept in before, he was probably worse than me" Owlpaw snapped, earning a cuff around the ears from his mother "you will not sit here and disrespect your mentor nor will you speak to me in such a tone" Mistleap growled softly before licking his head again "sorry Mistleap" Owlpaw said softly, turning his green gaze to the ground.

the young tom perked his ear as he listen to snowfeather nodding in agreement, "i know if i had to lay in a nest all day watching bouncing kits i would want the best moss possible." he meowed with a small chuckle as his tail waved up right behind him. "well i can at least help you until eveningpoppy comes to fetch me right? two heads are better then one and it'll at least save you a little bit of time." bluepaw then looked towards the entrance, taking a step towards it and looking at the warrior over his shoulder, "shall we?" he meowed, he felt the need to get his blood pumping and legs stretched out less he fall asleep on his paws. i can't think of any good places to find moss.. i guess i haven't had to fetch moss in a little while.. the apprentice fluffed out his short pelt hoping that snowfeather would have a few spots in mind to check, if anything they could probably ask heavybelly or squirrelpaw for good places to check.

( ─ palemoth | molly | thirty moons | warrior | apprentice, crowpaw | tags, figriver )

the dusty brown molly's nose had just caught a familiar scent of salt before her ears perked at the voice it belonged to, figriver had trotted over to her, the warrior instantly purred at his words. she turned her head to meet his ice blue gaze, her light green eyes shining with a soft and friendly glimmer, she looked over the tom briefly before speaking feeling a bit playful this morning. "sounds like you could use to help," she meowed her tail flicking up and curling over her flank as she absorbed the last bits of sunlight before getting to her paws to properly greet him, she continued. "you can ask me so don't be shy." she let out a gentle murrow of laughter and her eyes shown with tease, a small smile on her maw.

the molly stretched up her neck to touch figriver's nose gently, her tail waving out behind her as she looked up at the tom from her tucked position on the ground. she let her gaze wander slightly towards lightingleaf who seemed to have been swooped up by her mate just as she got into camp, the molly was soaked and palemoth couldn't help but let her whiskers twitch with amusement. she then turned back to her mate and spoke her previous thoughts, "well it seems it's your lucky day figriver, how does a two cat patrol sound to you? i was thinking of going hunting so we had a bit extra for the clan today." she meowed hoping the tom would say yes, she felt like having a bit of fun mixed in with actual work.

( ─ chirpwillow | molly | thirty-one moons | warrior | tags, emberflight - adderstar )

the molly sat with her tail covering her paws, her head tilted toward the sunlight and her eyes closed. her chest rose and sunk gentle as she breathed in the morning air. the warrior's eyes lazed open, her soft green gaze trailing towards the leaders den where she saw the ever familiar reddish brown pelt of her father, adderstar, her tail tip twitched as her eyes were met with another recognizable frame, emberlfight, her former mentor her two favorite toms aside from her brother who she hadn't seen yet this morning.

chirpwillow made the decision to spend some time with the two older cats, her tail waved out behind her as she padded across camp towards them. her demeanor was calm and friendly though as she got closer to them a glint shown in her eyes and she changed her direction a little to come up behind emberflight before he noticed her path, a favorite pass time to keep the senior warrior on his toes, she hunkered down lower to the ground hoping her father wouldn't see her and spoil the surprise attack. the molly crept up slowly making sure not to disturb anything that would alert the two before pouncing up with a small yowl and cuffed emberflight over the ears with sheathed paws, landing next to him with a hearty thump. her eyes gleamed with playfulness that resembled a kit who had just pounced on their sibling.

Hawkmoon laid plopped on his side close to the entrance of the warriors den, tail flicking idly, wondering if he'd be going on any patrols today. For now, he simply took in the crisp cold air of outside as meaningless thoughts sluggishly ran through his mind.
Perhaps today'll be a slow day? He wondered silently in his head, his grey-blue eyes looking at nothing in particular, gaze mostly flickering between noticing small details of the camp and his other clanmates, only briefly wondering to himself what they were up to or talking about. He didn't mind not socializing like the others were, he honestly preferred it, however it was nice to chat from time to time and with not much to do he somewhat longed for the very thing that seemed so foreign and out of reach to him. Though, despite that longing feeling, he didn't bother to do much to quell it, at least for now.

She was convinced there wasn't a patch of fur left untouched by the marsh water, she truly looked and felt like a drowned rat. She'd snagged a sunny spot where the grass was already warmed underfoot by the rays of the sun and shook out her fur, being mindful that there weren't others too close to her that would end up wearing the water as well. After a quick, vigorous shake that left her fur sticking up in some spots she froze at the voice that called out to her. Lightningleaf hadn't seen the white tomcat approach and almost gasped at the thought that she might have soaked him. "Oh gosh, you didn't wear all that did you?" she asked as her eyes quickly surveyed Swanfern's pelt to assess it herself. "Swimming, no. Running though, I did that. Although I can see where you might get that idea" the ash-grey molly humoured, gesturing with a quick flick of her chin towards her damp fur. She always enjoyed talking to Swanfern, though she preferred to not look like a heap of wet fur while doing it, and would never complain about time well spent with him. Lightningleaf wasn't completely oblivious to the happenings of her clan mates and had a inkling that her arranged mate's heart lie elsewhere. Call it a she-cat's intuition. The grey tabby wasn't like most cats in the sense that even while knowing her mate's sights were set on someone else, if she wanted him she would do everything in her power to win his affection rather than waiting to see how things played out. Lightningleaf never was truly good at sitting on the sidelines anyways.

A throaty chuckle bubbled up from his chest in a rumble, amusement glimmering in his vivid blue eyes. Being around Palemoth truly was a breath of fresh air and quite entertaining to say the least, it wasn't hard to see why he enjoyed her company so much. Figriver quirked a brow at her initial comment about lending him a paw in tending to his belly fur and the tomcat couldn't stop the little smirk that tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Believe me sweetheart, that is not something I would hesitate to ask" he teased in return with a flirtatious wink her way. "However, I would need to maintain some of my masculinity that may be lost if others started finding out I couldn't groom my own belly fur" Figriver meowed, his tone lowering to a hush near the end as if preserving a secret.

He notice that for a moment Palemoth's eyes drew towards the distance and his curiosity concerning who had captured her attention won him over and had him turning his head in the same direction. What he was met with was the sight of his mate's elder sister, Lightningleaf, drenched down to the bone and most likely being teased by her own mate, Swanfern. Another quiet laugh shook his shoulders gently and a second later his attention was called back to the dusty brown molly. "Sounds like an offer i couldn't decline. I'm sure our apprentices can manage to keep themselves out of trouble long enough for us to hunt" the warrior meowed, hoping that his words would ring true.

Cinderwing walked with determination at the head of the patrol, enjoying the warm breeze through her fur. She glanced back on occasion at the four cats accompanying her. Featherdust with Littlepaw, Zinniadusk with Amberpaw... both excellent mentor-apprentice pairings bound to produce a proud teacher and a talented warrior.
To her, the connection between mentor and apprentice was something special, akin to a kind of guardianship or even parenthood. Maybe it wasn't that way for everyone, but Cinderwing at least viewed it in a warm light. Her own mentor had helped her tremendously in overcoming the anger that used to blind her.
As the patrol neared the stream, a dark shadow passed overhead. Cinderwing assumed a protective stance and turned her eyes to the sky above. It was a hunting pair of hawks, though both passed over without any interest in the cats.
"I've been seeing more of those raptors since last leaf-bare," Cinderwing told the patrol as she continued on. "It's just my personal observation, so take it with a lick of salt. No warrior is right every time." Never a bad time to remind the apprentices of critical thinking skills! Though, to be honest, Cinderwing hoped she was wrong about this observation.


➵ Tallflower • tom • warrior
➵ Tagged: Briarlily, Ebonypaw
"Will I even have to tell you?" Tallflower purred with laughter, "If I could fly, I think my actions would speak louder than my words!"
He thought about her next question for a long, drawn-out moment. In his mind, there had to be a reason Briarlily would suddenly change topics to mention the past. Maybe there was something troubling her and she didn't know how else to initiate that conversation. It could be turmoil with her past, or concern about what dark secrets lay in his own. If it was the former, Tallflower wouldn't want to pry... but if it was the latter, well he was pretty comfortable sharing even the worst moments of his life. While he missed his family, talking about their loss only helped him to move forward. The sting of those memories lessened each time he shared them.
Before he could speak, however, his apprentice entered the conversation, behavior shifting from guilt over the scolding to pain over his lost family members. Now that Ebonypaw had spoken, this would be a rather inappropriate and rude time for Tallflower to talk about himself. It would sound incredibly dismissive when his apprentice was upset from his own loss.
"We can speak about this later," he murmured to Briarlily before pressing his warm pelt against the apprentice's. Words couldn't fix what happened, so instead Tallflower would offer his silent companionship until it was time for the patrol to start.

He nodded "well yes, it's hard to actually say anything bad on you..." he meowed silently. His eyes wandered to the patrols there leaving the camp, seeing some of the apprentices with them and around the clearing, he didn't see Lilypaw thought. He was not sure about his training methods with the young cat, he felt often that she could be better matched with someone else as her mentor, the good part was that she was over the moon before getting her warrior name. He looked at Creamflower again "so do you have any plans for now or for today? maybe you could be stuck with me and Lilypaw? maybe show her some of your moves? you still have those skills left?" he meowed to her.

She looked at the good relationship with Littlepaw and Featherdusk, she could not say the same about her and Zinnadusk thogith. Her mentor mostly just took care of her training there was nothing else between them, like friendship or anything else, she didn't really even barely know her, except for the basic things. She looked at Cinderwing who was ready to lead the patrol out to do whatever they were supposed to do there.
