"Awesome!" Snowcloud beamed. "And sure, that would be amazing! I just have to go
deliver the sunhigh invitation to Maplestrike as well before that." the she-cat smiled and said
goodbye, even if she would be back soon. She scanned the area, then spotted Maplestrike
somewhere near the warrior den and the fresh kill pile. She felt heat rising to her face,
then scolded herself. She had an invitation to deliver, and that was no reason to be shy.

She walked over as confidently as she could (which made her look like she was sleepwalking)
and stopped in front of Maplestrike. "Hi, Maplestrike!" she exclaimed. "How are you?
I hope all is well. I, uh, came to ask you if.. you would go on today's sunhigh border patrol?
Hawkeclaw asked me to tell you." she asked, nodding to herself.

Snowcloud looked at Maplestrike expectantly, awaiting an answer.

Moonkit's eyes twinkle at the idea of sharing prey with Morningfeather, her whole tiny body lights up with enthusiasm, "Really?!" She chirps, before looking down at her paws and back up at the medicine cat sheepishly, embarrassed at her own outburst. Her belly growls despite her, but she stifles it to finish sorting the berries at paw.

When Morningfeather proposes leading her out of camp, she hesitates for a moment, before nodding with only a hint of less eagerness than usual. Moonkit had of course peered out of the Clan entrance to the world beyond, towering trees and dark shaded undergrowth whispering in the winds, it had always given her a twinge of fear. Nothing she couldn't get past, she reassured herself with new vigor as she scooped up a leaf with the bad berries folded in it, careful to only hold the edges of the leaf in her maw and keep the berries from her mouth. "Hey uh... Morningfeather..." Moonkit mumbled past the leaf, "do... do you go out there a lot?"

SILVERKIT

Silverkit's ears flatten and her eyes narrow displeased for a while as she studies Rushkit, it almost looks as though she's been offended... or like she might sneeze. Then, as quickly as the displeasure crossed her face she seemed to find what she was looking for and her maw split in a grin, eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "You are scared!" She practically barks, giving him a last playful swat before climbing off him and letting Rushkit have space to get to his paws again. "I should have guessed, sleepy Rushkit- lazy Rushkit- boring Rushkit. You'd probably be better off in the nursery, anyway. Wouldn't want you to get attacked by a squirrel!" Silverkit chirps with laughter, silver striped tail swishing behind her as she pads away a little ways.

"Well I'm practically an apprentice already, anyway. It's not like I'm going to miss the ceremony or anything, I'm going to go catch a mouse for Almondstar-" Silverkit brags, head held high and looking down on Rushkit. "bet she'll be so impressed with me that she'll want to mentor me herself!"

Almondstar |( 6/9 lives) | female | leader | tags: Morningfeather Dappleleaf

She nodded to Morningfeather, giving the young medicine cat tom greetings "yeah pretty much yes" she responded to him simply. Her eyes looked at Moonkit for a moment again, she has noticed the kit hanging a lot around the medicine cat's den recently and was her time to discuss things with the Dappleleaf. She could talk with Morningfeather as well, but as Dappleleaf was an older medicine cat discussing with her goes first the medicine cat herself can speak with Morningfeather later if not spoken already.

She nodded to the older medicine cat "Yes we could, thank you" she meowed stapping a few steps backward as she was kind of halfway at the entrance so she could need to give some space to the Dappleleaf to move out of the den. She flicked her tail as she walked a little bit away from the medicine cats entrance and sat down, her eyes looking at Dappleleaf "Don't worry I don't need any assistance or anything, just a settle things with you, that's all" she meowed "As you know those Brableheart's kits and Weaselkit does have a very special day tomorrow...so I wanted to ask you my dear friend that is there any kit there which does catch your eyes as a possible medicine cats apprentice?" she asked her flicking her tail tip patiently.

She didn't mention anything that she had already thought of possible mentors for all of them, but if Dappleleaf did name a kit she could start to teach together with Morningfeather then she could have the kit to train with.



Spiderpaw | female | apprentice | (mentor?) | tags: Hawkeclaw, Mistyleaf

The young long haired black and white she-cat followed after the patrol as they were living in the camp. She turned to look at Weaselkit when the young soon-to-be apprentice run after them to speak with his mother Mistyleaf. She gave the kit a gentle smile as they spoke there before she turned to the deputy.

Flicking her ears she listened and thought a lot about the question the Hawkeclaw asked her, feeling a little embarrassed to actually answer "well..Actually, I was hoping to have you as my new mentor..." she responded too embarrassed to actually look at the toms way "my, mentor...uh Brownfur was like your biggest fan, I mean she always told so proudly about you and stuff like that...maybe she did have a crush on you..." she meowed lowering her voice into a whisper when she mentioned about the crushing part.

She then shook her head and smiled "the choice is completely Almondstar's so, I will take anyone who she chooses to be my new mentor" she said little more excitement "I want to become a warrior at the age of twelve so I need to train hard so I don't really have time to argue who could be my new mentor or not right?" she meowed flicking her tail tip as she looked over to the deputy once again.

He looked at her with a loud snarl "I am not scared..." He hissed "If you really are so brave then why would you go out alone then? Or do you need a bodyguard, too scared to go alone?" he said annoyed. He personally could go out there, but he felt that right now only a day before their most important day that was a foolish thing to do.

He flicked his ears as he listened to what else the silver she-cat was telling him "I don't think either Almoststar or Hawkeclaw wants to mentor you, maybe your new mentor will who else than Spiderpaw, which is not even a warrior herself yet..," he said with a smirk "that could be so hilarious" he laughed.

He shook his head "catch a mouse? cool, go for it, but don't then cry to me if fox comes to eat you there" he kept saying, licking his front paws proudly "Or the worst, Almoststar, Hawkeclaw and our mother goes very angry at you, and you will stay at nursery for a moon or two as a punishment" he meowed.

Snuggled deep into the embrace of her mother's curled body and the presence of her littermates, the fluffy tortoisheshell kit was more than happy to remain where she was. Nose tucked into Brambleheart's belly fur while Softkit's body heat warmed her and made her decision to stay in the nest that much easier. Her flanks followed her steady breaths as she dozed, though her slumber was short lived when the voices around her finally cut through her consciousness and needled at her like a pesky mosquito. The kit slowly opened one eyelid, revealing a dark pupil ringed by a thick band of deep amber that blinked once before the other followed suit.

Grousekit lifted her head groggily, first noting her sister still slumbering beside her and then her attention drifted to the chatter that filled the den. Most of it came from Silverkit who was practically bursting with excitement at the idea of the litter becoming apprentices tomorrow. The fluffy tortie could admit to sharing in her sibling's fervor though she wasn't as vocal about it as Silverkit. Grousekit was still a little apprehensive about becoming an apprentice and leaving the comfort her mother provided, change was a little scary to her even though she knew it was an inevitable part of life.

Turning her head towards Brambleheart once more she extended a small paw to touch her mother's shoulder in an attempt to garner her attention. The young molly was very intuitive when it came to her peers, her kin especially, so when she felt the wave of sadness come off of Brambleheart as she spoke with Dappleleaf made her stomach sink. "Mother? Why are you sad?" came Grousekit's soft mew from her mother's flank.

The large tomcat was stopped in his tracks during his course towards the fresh-kill pile by a warm and familiar voice that had his ears perking up and head turning over his shoulder. His sage-green eyes floated over the pretty she-cat's form as she neared him, eventually drawing to a halt in front of him. "Snowcloud, good morning" came his low rumble in greeting, his green eyes hovering over her face as he observed her. If he'd known any better he would think she was a little...nervous? Did he make others nervous? Sure, maybe because of his hulking size that most of the cats he grew up with still balked at, but oftentimes he found it hard to tell. "Border patrol at sunhigh? I'd be happy too" he beamed as the corner of his mouth drew up.

A deep growl emitted from his belly, his body's way of telling him he wouldn't be doing anything without eating something first. With that thought he turned his attention back to Snowcloud. "Do you want something to eat before you head off?" Maplestrike offered with a gesture towards the pile of prey with his broad head.

꧁✦ORIOLECRY ✦ MALE ✦ WARRIOR ✦ TAGS ; Open ✦ MENTIONS ; Hawkclaw✦꧂

Despite his clean fur and bright eyes, Oriolecry had just arose from his warm, cozy nest only a few moments before. When the orange tom had finally hustled out of the warriors den, embarrassment quickly settled in, seeing how most patrols were already set in place and dispersing. As heat rushed to the tips of his ears, he decided to play it safe and retreat to a farther side of camp to try and stay out of the way a bit. Oriolecry got to work attempting to look busy, grooming his perfectly-fine orange pelt and keeping amber eyes glued to the ground. ”Hopefully I can join a later patrol of some sort… boy, do I feel dumb for waking up so late!” Mind racing and face hot, he continued to ponder about what he could do to make up his late awakening ”Maybe I should let Hawkclaw know, and I can help around camp”, but when his eyes finally landed on the dark tabby, it was pretty clear that the deputy had his paws full. ”No use in worrying now, I suppose”, he decided, concluding his search and flopping down to try and rest his frayed nerves.


꧁✦HEMLOCKHAZE ✦ MALE ✦ WARRIOR ✦ TAGS ; OPEN ✦꧂

Hemlockhaze was no stranger to early mornings, and today was no different, in that aspect. Unlike his usual “sitting like a statue at dawn” though, he had made a slightly rash decision to go on a walk. Something seemingly mundane and possibly even routine to most had been a very odd experience for the large tom. It wasn’t that he didn’t like these ventures; they were simply out of the ordinary. Even a little irresponsible. What kind of nearly-senior warrior goes on strolls? Hemlockhaze didn’t let these thoughts bother him today. It felt important to him, and he would be lying if he said he didn’t absolutely love the silence and peace. The sky had been pale and the mist light, the dew soaked his big paws as he pushed through thick grass and shrubs. By the time he had come back to camp, the previously damp fur was dry, but messy, and his eyes were a softer green than ever. Quickly his relaxed frame stiffened and he made his way to a more private side of camp to clean himself up before anyone dare make a glance. The last thing he needed was to be gawked at for lookin like a wreck. The thought caused a grumble to erupt from his maw as he diligently got to work tackling his mess.

꧁✦WISTERIABLOOM ✦ FEMALE ✦ WARRIOR ✦ TAGS ; Snakeberry ✦꧂

Eyes scrunching tight, Wisteriabloom felt like begging the sun for “just ten more minutes” as she was forced to awaken. It was no surprise that she had slept in; the molly has never been much of a morning lark. Muttering curses under her breath and dragging her paws every step of the way, she practically hissed when she trudged through the entrance to the warriors den. It took her more than a few moments to warm up to the bright sun, and by the time she had her mood had only slightly improved. Automatically she began to meander towards the fresh-kill pile that had only a few measly pieces left. Quickly vowing to go hunting shortly after finishing her meal, she grabbed a cold but surprisingly hearty ermine from the pile. While her original intentions were to devour this in a dim corner alone before slinking out of camp to pay for her greediness, a quick scan showed a promising cat just waiting to be bothered. Confidently attempting to haul the long rodent over, she sat next to a lounging Snakeberry, dropping her find infront of the two of them. ”G’morning Snakeberry! Would you care to share a morning bite with me before I head out? This thing turned out to have much more meat on it’s bones than I expected!,” a small chuckle escaped her as she beamed at her fellow warrior.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When Maplestrike spoke, Snowcloud's heart did a little leap. When he smiled, Snowcloud
couldn't help but grin back. She blushed as she realized she hadn't eaten anything all morning.
"Yes, please!" she exclaimed, eager. "I.. totally forgot I hadn't eaten breakfast today." she
laughed. "Thank you for asking. I.. wouldn't have eaten until much later if you didn't."

Snowcloud didn't understand why she was so nervous. It was just good old Maplestrike, not
one of her ancestors from Starclan. A thought about why came to her. Feelings. Such a
strange thing. her mind voice teased. Not true! Snowcloud replied in her head.

OLEANDER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Oleander's chest filled with pride at the mention of his kits. He knew they were going to make great warriors - or whatever they end up doing. While he was happy, his mood was dampened slightly by the quick expression this cat had on her face at the mention of his mate. The Clans did not approve of one taking a mate outside the Clan, yes, but he felt he had done no wrong. It couldn't be that hard for the Clan to accept, right?

Go and visit the Clan... would that be a good idea? Oleander kneaded the ground anxiously. It would be great to see Brambleheart again - and the kits - but he wasn't so sure. "I don't know if that is such a good idea," he muttered. "It will only cause trouble for Brambleheart. They all have it bad enough that the kits are half Clan - they don't need to see me. I feel it would just raise tensions for everyone." He sighed, lowering his head. "I sure would love to see this ceremony, though... Maybe I could watch from a distance."

She sat quietly at the edge of camp, watching. She swayed slightly, lost in thought. Whenever she was nervous she liked to sit and soak in the daily clan activities. She knew she needed to do be productive, and had decided to hunt, but she wanted to sit for a little while longer before she left.

• Mouse •
kittypet | she-cat | 18 moons | tags: open

Her owners hadn’t been happy with her behavior. So upset, in fact, that they refused to let her go outside. She spent all day sulking in a corner, hissing and swatting at anything that came near her, and all night gazing out of the window until she fell asleep. She wanted nothing more than to slip out while no one was watching, but they kept a close eye on her. Finally it happened. They were so distracted that when they opened the door to let the dog out, they didn’t even remember she was there. “Now’s my chance!” She jumped up and sprinted through the door, running as fast as she could. Behind her, she could hear her owners shouting angrily, but she didn’t dare turn back. The sun warmed her pelt and energized her. She drug herself through the hole in the fence and continued running. She didn’t stop until her house was barely visible through the trees. “I did it!” She jumped around through the trees, feeling triumphant. Once out of breathe she sat down. She realized then that she was alone. Or at least she was pretty sure she was. “Golly this is pretty boring, there’s got to be something to do out here… or maybe someone to talk to?” She nodded to herself, setting out farther into the forest to see what she might find.

• Rustfur •
warrior | she-cat | 23 moons | tags: open

Her eyes flew open, quickly adjusting to the light. “Gah! I should have been awake forever ago!” She jumped up quickly and made her way out of the warriors den. She glanced around nervously, hoping no cats had noticed how late she slept. It was truly embarrassing. She quickened her pace and went to leave the camp, deciding to hunt.

DAPPLELEAF

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dappleleaf knew Almondstar would likely have brought this up within the day, she just wasn't sure when. A smile appeared at her maw as her leader began asking and she nodded. "Oh yes. Moonkit has shown an interest, and I believe she would make a fine apprentice." Her mind wandered to when Morningfeather was at that age. He also had shown such an eagerness towards herbs and healing. "It has been many moons since we had this many medicine cats. I wonder what Starclan has in store for us. I hope only good." A fleeting thought of worry skittered across her mind. With the prophecy, would this mean there was a reasoning for there to be so many healers? She grounded herself by digging her claws into the dirt. 'Oh stop it, you are only going to freak yourself out.' She silently grumbled to herself.

CROWFUR

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Crowfur could sense the anxiety suddenly coming off the tom. "Well...but Hawkeclaw our deputy is Bramblehearts sister. He wouldn't let anything happen to them.." The black molly spoke softly, trying to be comforting. "It is up to you though. You can follow me back if you'd like. I do really need to get headed back." She shook herself off as she stood up to turn around. Her eyes were hopeful he'd join, but also understanding if he didn't. She couldn't imaging what was going on in his head right now. All of this love stuff never made much sense to her anyways. Crowfur was always the odd one out and never experienced what it was like to have even a crush or to be crushed on.

Morningfeather
━━━( medicine cat / tom / location: just outside of camp / tags: moonkit )
the tom purred softly at the molly’s enthusiastic response to his mention of a good morning meal, ear perking lightly at the sound of the kit’s stomach. his paws felt a bit lighter as he pushed himself out of the den, his pace brisk and almost refreshing as his tail waved out behind him as he strutted across camp.

his ears rotated back as he heard a question mumbled through a mouthful of berry filled leaf — having spent many dew filled mornings of speaking with dappleleaf through mouthfuls of comfrey, yarrow, razzberry leaves, and much more; his ears had been trained to understand mews no other cat would begin to be able to decode. the tom-cat moved his jaw around the long dried chamomile bundle, his meow was muffled and cut short. “most often during new-leaf and green-leaf due to the abundance of herbs in the territory.” he dipped his head as he pushed himself through the entrance of camp making sure to stand just outside of the leafy hidden tunnel. waiting patiently for moonkit to poke her head out before continuing on. he turned to look out at the forest before him. he had seen the same sunlight gleaming through the same tree all his life now but he knew it would be a completely new experience for the kit, if only a brief one, creating a lasting memory.

Softkit
━━━( kit > apprentice / molly / location: nursery / tags: open )

Rainstep
━━━( warrior / molly / location: camp / tags: oriolecry )
the molly nodded and shot snowcloud a smile as the molly agreed to her offer before bounding off towards maplestrike with a bit of extra pep in her stride, the moly tilted her head before she heaved a sigh and rolled over onto her back. her eyes opening wide as her gaze swept across camp, seeing the world from a different angle though a familiar fiery pelt caught her eye. she rolled over once more so her world turned right side up though it still made her head spin. the black barred tabby cat shook her head, whiskers twitching as she pushed herself to her paws, long legs stretching out before her as she moved. tall elegant figure prancing towards oriolecry, her tail held high behind her in a friendly gesture. the warrior stopped just before the tom-cat, her paws kneading the ground below them in excitement. “good morning oriolecry!” rainstep purred a greeting, “i was going to go for a quick hunt, hawkeclaw assigned me to sun high patrol but i’m itching to get out before then. snowcloud is a bit busy with maplestrike so i was wondering if you’d like to come along with me?” she meowed, her eyes focused on the warrior before her though she felt heat run to the tips her large ears, her blue-yellow eyes wavering as they trailed down to her rather dainty paws.

rainstep had interacted with the orange tom on occasion due to training and other duties. today, though, was the day that she would set her feelings aside and try to create a relationship with the warrior. the fur on her neck prickled as the molly waited patiently for an answer, giving her shoulder a casual swipe of her tongue.
