"Thrush, then- try to get out of the nursery today." Mistyleaf hums, giving Weaselkit a last affectionate lick between the ears and turning to rejoin the patrol. Her silver ears swivel to catch the bits of conversation between Spiderpaw and Hawkeclaw, she gives the black and white she-cat a sympathetic look. "Just worry about training, it doesn't matter how old you are- you should try to be realistic."

In a comforting gesture, Mistyleaf touches Spiderpaw's shoulder with the tip of her tail as she passes, "Becoming a warrior is about being capable, being strong in body and spirit, and proving yourself to Almondstar. Did Brownfur ever get the chance to tell you about her ceremony?" Earlier at the mention of Brownfur's name, especially with the implications of her feelings, Mistyleaf tensed slightly.

Of course she had her own suspicions, with the way that Brownfur revered him, but she'd always hoped he'd never come to see it. Shouldn't her feelings follow her to StarClan...? She felt cruel for even thinking it, a bitterness writhed in her chest.

Mistyleaf's deep viridian gaze followed Hawkeclaw as the three of them climbed over the smooth boulders of the camp's entrance tunnel, looking for reassurance, and asking silently "where will we go to hunt today?"

MOONKIT

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━

━━━━━

The Greenleaf golden rays filtered through light-breeze ruffled leaves certainly caught Moonkit's eye, the warm dapples of sunlight created spots of warmth on her coat that danced across her fur as she stumbled after Morningfeather. She certainly wouldn't forget it, it was dazzling and beautiful, for a moment it distracted her from her fears. The older tom got away from her fast as she fell behind, wide eyes flicking wildly about, taking in every possible sight. She drank in all the scents, though they were mostly drown out by the scent of sour juniper berries.

Moonkit wondered how Dappleleaf and Morningfeather stay aware, carrying herbs with their overpowering scents- more so, when they're fresh. Realizing she'd fallen behind, she scrambled forward to catch up and nearly tripped on Morningfeather's tail in the process, Moonkit mumbled an apology past the leaves.

"Will I have to come out here a lot...?" She chirps nervously past the leaves, whiskers jumping at even the lightest brush of undergrowth on her pelt, she can't quell her nerves.

SILVERKIT

"No, I'm not scared- and they're gonna want to mentor me!" Silverkit deadpanned, narrowing her eyes at her littermate. The she-kit's face contorted at the thought of being trained by an apprentice, she shook her head violently to shake away the idea and swatted at Rushkit again. "Apprentices can't train warriors, Rushkit you mousebrain! Besides, if I fox finds me I'll just fight it off- no way I get punished after that!"

Further invigorated by passing retorts with Rushkit, Silverkit puffed up a bit, tail held high. "Anyway everyone knows that I'm the most promising apprentice- they wouldn't hold me back even if I did get in trouble. You'll see- and there'll be no glory for you!" Silverkit cackled, she circled the dark brown and white tabby tom before starting off towards the back of the leader's den, where she knew she could sneak into the entrance tunnel.

"You and Grousekit will probably sleep aaaaall day, you won't be warriors until you're old! Like 100 moons, old!" She teased with another loud, obnoxious laugh, picturing her littermates as elders getting their warrior names from Almondstar.

OLEANDER
Loner | Tom | Location: Outside Dawnclan territory | Mentioned: | Tags: Crowfur

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Oleander sat, kneading the ground anxiously, working his claws into the dirt. Maybe I should go... Just for a bit. What harm could it do? Surely Brambleheart's sister would be understanding and let him see his kits...? They were kin, after all. Even though he was not a Clan cat - just an outsider that, understandably, would be looked down upon by the Clan if he came - she wouldn't deny him that, would she?

Oleander shook his head in an attempt to clear his thoughts. "Okay. I'll come," he replied. "Just for a while. As long as you're sure it will be fine." The last thing he wanted to do was cause any trouble, especially since the kits' big day was coming up. He stood up and stood beside Crowfur. "Lead the way."

[Queen of flames]

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

She smiled at Dappleleaf answering her question, which didn't really come up as a surprise. She herself has seen the young kit circling around the medicine cat's den pretty much immediately she got enough strength to walk. She nodded to her "that's good, now I know to tell that tho the clan tomorrow meeting.." she meowed her eyes looking toward the Moonkit and Morningfeather there together "She sure is the energetic kit...she will be a great medicine cat someday..." she meowed silently.

She flicked her ears as the medicine cat spoke more "hmm, I don't think this means anything bad, it's good to have medicine cats older and younger in the clan, we can never be too sure if something bad doesn't happen to you or Morningfeather...or the clan...I don't think that's for think while thought but, better alert than sorry right?" she murmured with a smile.

She was silent for a moment "So, do you know more about that... prophecy?" she meowed almost whispering "anything about what it means, or where we could be alert about..." she kept meowing to her, keeping her voice down so nobody else could overhear their conversations.



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.


Rushkit | male | kit | (soon to be apprentice) | tags: Silverkit

He bites his fangs tight together, giving a small annoyed snarl "What's your problem anyway Silverkit?" he called out for his sister "we're siblings, what have you against me or Grousekit, we didn't ask to be born to a same litter with you" he hissed to her "and you can't fight a fox, which mouth is as big as your whole body" he shook his head annoyed "you're the one who is being moused brain there and selfish too" he growled.

He thought about her words for a moment then laughed "promising, who told you that and sure they could get angry at you if you did get in trouble" he meowed flicking his tail a little bit "I am wondering those they even care if you die on your hunt there, who knows maybe they could be...even blad for that to happen" he meowed to her with a smirk.

He laughed "yeah when WE will wait for 100 moons to become a warrior...you will be dead in a day...before your apprenticeship" he meowed with a harsh laugh.

After sitting for a while, she was fully awake. She looked over and knew she could hunt, so she stood to leave. “Maybe I’ll go for a little walk first, then I’ll hunt,” She decided with a nod of her head. It would be nice to relax out in the trees. She promised to stay near the camp though, if she were far away and couldn’t rush back to help if needed she would feel horrible.

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

She wasn’t sure how long she had been away from home. Part of her felt like it had been moons, but she knew that wasn’t true. As she continued on wearily, she was barely paying attention to where she was going. She had never used this much energy before. “I just need to rest a little, then I’ll be fine,” She drug herself to a particularly large tree and slumped against it, exhaustion seeping through her. The fact that she was completely alone in this strange place didn’t bother her. Although she knew it might be impossible to find her way home, she was too tired to think about it. “Maybe just a small nap…” She murmured, before closing her eyes and slowly drifting off to sleep.

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

She came back from her short hunting trip. The embarrassment from waking up so late had subsided and she padded into the camp, carrying a mouthful of prey. She dropped it in the freshkill pile and turned to see Oriolecry near the edge of the camp. She went over and sat down quietly next to him. “Morning! What are you doing all by yourself over here? Did Hawkeclaw give you a break from going out on patrol?” She asked quietly, not able to get a read on how he was feeling. She didn’t want to overstep and make him upset.

DAPPLELEAF

medicine cat / she/her or they/them / tags: Almondstar
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dappleleaf nodded in agreement toward the comment about moonkit being an energetic kit. "Oh I am sure she will be. Her eagerness to learn has always been strong. I only hope it stays that way when we have to treat any ailments. The first few can be rough." She recalled her own first cats she treated at that age. They had a large bout of greencough and even lost a few kits to it. The first death she had seen in her short life, it took its toll. However, it also inspired her to do her very best with every cat that needed assistance. Even those who didn't belong to their clan.

After her leaders response, she sighed and nodded once again. "I suppose you are right. I just get in my head sometimes and over think. You know this..but thank you for easing my thoughts." She flashed a small smile before scanning the camp beside her during Almondstars silence. She often liked to just watch the clan go about their days.

"Well..I'm sorry to say, but I do not know much more than what I've told you.." Her smile quickly faded as her own voice dropped to a whisper. "It has been on my mind for quite some time, but I can't seem to pin point what the danger could be that Starclan needs to warn us about..." She shook her head in defeat. "I take it that means you haven't been able to figure it out either?"

HAWKECLAW

deputy / he/him / tags: Mistyleaf, Spiderpaw
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hawkeclaw smiled at the longhaired molly. "Well, you learn something new every day. I thought maybe she was just chatty..." His eyes flashed to Mistyleaf during the mention of Brownfurs crush, almost as if to reassure her but he quickly brough his focus back to Spiderpaw. He flicked a long furried tail over her shoulder. "I would be honored to have you as my apprentice young one, I will say I have yet to speak with Almondstar about it yet, but I am sure whom ever she decides will be a good match for you." The young cat was smart, and Brownfur had nothing but praise when she spoke. "Even if I am not your mentor, I'd be more than happy to assist you if you feel like you need more training with anything."

As Mistyleaf commented, he dipped his head in agreement to her words. "You will get there. Just as we all did." He paused for a moment thinking, "Spiderpaw, why don't you choose where we hunt today. Is there anywhere you have not been in awhile?" He fell back, allowing Spiderpaw to lead, but also giving him a chance to bump his shoulder into Mistyleafs'. He met her eyes again for a moment before returning his focus on the apprentice.

CROWFUR

warrior / she/her / tags: patrol - Oleander
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Crowfur grinned excitedly. "Hurray!" She exclaimed before popping up on all fours. "Maybe we could catch a mouse or two to bring back and show that you want to help?" Her eyes looked up in thought, as she pondered for a moment. "If you want to of course. Just a thought is all." The molly bounded forward and trotted back in the direction of camp. She was sure Oleander had likely been close before, and probably knew where it was. But it might look better for her to lead incase anyone got any funny ideas. She hoped no one would have any issues...and she especially hoped this wouldn't bring trouble onto her. But she was sure it was the right thing for him to see his kits. She often heard the little things boasting about their father with the stories of what Brambleheart had shared with them.

OLEANDER
Loner | Tom | Location: Outside Dawnclan territory | Mentioned: | Tags: Crowfur

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Oleander cringed slightly. She seemed far too excited. He blinked as he watched her, then finally decided to follow. "Yes, we should catch a mouse or two... They'll feel better about me, I'm sure," he agreed. Oleander's thoughts once again shifted to his kits. They'd love a gift from him, right? "Or maybe something bigger, to bring to the kits and Brambleheart. They'll be happy for that, right?" He made sure not to follow too close behind. He had to appear more clueless than he was - Oleander knew very well where the camp was and where Dawnclan territory fell, but he didn't want to give that away and make anyone feel unsafe.

MISTYLEAF

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━

Under Hawkeclaw's gaze Mistyleaf dips her head, a silent acknowledgement and respect as she regards him. When he falls back to let Spiderpaw skip ahead, his striped brown shoulder brushing against her own glittering silver pelt made her squirm, a flutter in her chest alighting. "That's a brilliant idea," She chirped, jerking her chin up in response to the suggestion of Spiderpaw picking where they hunt. With Greenleaf only just cropping up, there was plenty of prey to go around almost anywhere you went.

Mistyleaf watched the deputy turn away from her gaze after catching it and lingered on him for a moment longer, he was always so confident and so sure in her eyes. Mistyleaf struggled to find the right way to respond, always, in Brownfur's passing there weren't any exceptions. How do you comfort an apprentice who's lost their mentor? There's no good way, other than regarding her life with respect and care, reminding her apprentice every day that her life continues after their mentor's has passed.

It wouldn't be the first time Mistyleaf has encountered loss, however she's always felt distanced from death. There was always this feeling like if she blinked, they could just be back. Like they've stepped out of camp before she woke up. Brownfur was no different, with a lingering sense like an echo hovering behind in camp. Like for a moment when she steps out of the warrior's den, when the morning light blinds her and paints the camp white, the she-cat warrior was still standing out there. She always had a bright personality and despite Mistyleaf's misplaced jealousy they'd always been friendly, it felt weird not to see Brownfur sharing tongues with her apprentice and peers, sharing prey and embracing the early dawn.

Surely, it was a loss for the Clan, Mistyleaf could only imagine what the whole ordeal was like for Spiderpaw, especially wondering how it would effect her own training.

Silverkit scoffed, "I don't have a problem, you're all just too uptight." She shrugged dismissively, casting a passive glance to her littermate, "I don't see how I'm selfish, I offered to share my glory with you anyhow and you still chose to be a coward about it, that's really your own fault, not mine~" Her face twisted with indignance with her brother's response, she narrowed her eyes at him with a pause in her otherwise bouncing step.

"It's not like they'd let a fox stay that close to camp anyway," She snarked with a lash of her tail, before shaking her head. She's determined to prove herself before the others, to make a point. "You'll see." She snaps, in the last moment before she races off.

Storm
tom-cat he/him | loner | tags: none

Storm stalked through the tall grass, the acrid scent of clan cat floating upwind towards him, signaling he was near Dawnclan territory. Debating whether he should risk a altercation with a clan member over territory and hunting grounds, Storm padded off, trying to think of other places to hunt instead of once again eating some carrion that'd kill him. His stomach growled, trying to recall the last actual meal he had while plucking berries off a low-hanging branch.
"Stars, maybe I wouldn't mind a tustle with a clan cat, could try to guilt them into giving me at least something to eat" he grumbled to himself. Stretching out his aching joints, Storm wandered off to find a safe place to bed down.
"Nothing bad can happen if I sleep my days away" he sighed.

꧁✦ORIOLECRY ✦ MALE ✦ WARRIOR ✦ TAGS ; Rainstep ✦ MENTIONS ; n/a✦꧂

Oriolecry quickly snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of Rainstep’s greeting, and a comically large grin plastered his face as he attempted to hide how sheepish he looked only a moment before. The last thing he wanted was a fellow warrior, especially Rainstep, to pick up on the fact that he had slacked this morning,”Oh! Goodmorning Rainstep!” Before he could ramble on about some honestly worthless small talk about the weather, the pretty molly offered to go on a hunt. He was slightly taken aback by the offer, his large smile turning into a more thoughtful expression. When was the last time someone had offered to be alone with him? Come to think of it… never. Should he say yes? Oh dear, how do cats do this! The thoughts were going a mile a minute in his brain, but a small smile managed to worm its way onto his face. Who was he to turn this down? Besides, he had to make himself useful somehow, since he was assigned to no patrol as of yet. And so, despite the pause, he warmly responded ”I would love to! Thank you for offering Rainstep, I have been itching to get out myself as well! And thank Starclan the sky is so clear today, the hunting should be good.” The bicolor rose slowly, stretching his cold muscles and cracking his back a little while at it. ”You can lead the way so to speak, if you’d like, I have no preference on where we hunt. A mouse is a mouse no matter where I hunt!” A small purr escaped him as he slowly made his way to the camp exit, allowing her enough time to catch up with him without any extra strain.

Sunlight drifted into the mouth of the apprentice den touching Maplepaw's eyes and waking them from their slumber.

Paws stumbled and righted themselves through a hazy gaze of sleep-touched as claws dug into the ground peircing the earth with a mighty stretch.

He looked out of the den giving a small grin as he saw leaves cascading to the ground and ran out to try to catch them. After all what did he have to do?
