Willowstep - female - 28 moons - deputy - apprentice: Vulturepaw - tagged: Mountainstar, Rosedapple(mentioned), open

As Rosedapple hurried past on her way to check on the next cats, Willowstep sent her a friendly glance, amused at the molly's hurry. "Good morning Mountainstar," She mewed as she greeted her friend, studying her carefully for a moment. "Sleep well?" Rosedapple had surely asked about Mountainstar's sleep herself, but as Mountainstar was her closest companion, Willowstep worried, feeling the need the check on her as well. Mountainstar had endured a lot recently and Willowstep, wanted to give her as much support as she could. "Did you have any thoughts about today's patrols?" If Mountainstar wanted to send some of the apprentices for extra training, Willowstep would not assign them or their mentors on a patrol. That was occasionally known to happen, if an apprentice needed a little extra help, instead of patrols, the mentor and apprentice could train without the apprentice getting too tired from patrols. For her plans for the patrols, Willowstep also needed to know whether Mountainstar felt like joining a patrol with Mistpaw.

Cougarsight - male - 36 moons - warrior - tagged: Ivyscorch, open

Cougarsight looked up at the sound of Ivyscorch's greeting, his entire being seeming to brighten at her company. "Good morning," He replied, amusement flashing in his eyes as he added, "How did you sleep Ivyscorch? Did your kits keep you up all night?" The warrior tilted his head, his expression shifting from amusement to curiosity. To him, sharing a nest with several wiggly little kits sounded so odd and strange but maybe to Ivyscorch and the other queens it wasn't so weird? Perhaps it was similar to his memories spending nights with his parents. "Do you like being in the nursery with the queens and kits? It must feel so different compared to warrior duties." Cougarsight thought of the animals who lived in Peakclan's territory, prey and predators who didn't have the luxury of having a clan to protect them and their children.

Mistpaw - female - 7 moons - apprenticed to Mountainstar - tagged: Goosefeather, open

Mistpaw paused outside of the apprentices den, getting an idea of who was currently in the camp's main cave. Much of the clan seemed to be awake by now and the realization made Mistpaw's ears flatten anxiously. What kind of warrior would she be if she couldn't manage to wake up on her own. Mistpaw shook her head, trying to ignore her distress for now, focusing instead on finding her mentor, the tightness of her shoulders relaxing somewhat when she realized that Mountainstar was with Willowstep, the pair discussing the day's patrols. So she wasn't as late as she had thought but Mistpaw couldn't shake the belief that she should've been awake earlier. At least, she'd have the chance to greet the medicine cats. Goosefeather had taught her how to navigate the camp well enough that Mistpaw had little trouble locating the fresh kill pile, going slowly enough that she could hear any cats who may happen to be in her path and avoid bumping into them. Sniffing over the prey, Mistpaw chose a mouse to bring to Goosefeather and headed into the medicine den. As she entered, Mistpaw's mewed a muffled greeting, ears angling slightly towards Goosefeather's voice. She stifled a purr of amusement at the tom's demand of his apprentices and padded towards him, laying the mouse in front of him. "Good morning everyone," Mistpaw tried her greeting again, voice clearer without the prey in her jaws. "I brought you a mouse Goosefeather."

Creamflower lifted her head to see Rosedapple poking her head inside the nursery and smiles, swallowing the piece of fish she was chewing in her mouth. "Hello Rosedapple!" she greeted warmly. "I am doing fine so far thank you! I think I can speak for Tinyleaf when I say she is doing fine, wouldn't you agree Tinyleaf?" She remembers what it was like being pregnant when she was younger, the excitement and joy of becoming a mother as well as curiosity on how things will go as you raise kits. She also remembers the grief and pain she had when she lost all five of her kits to greencough during leaf-bare and how hard it hit her. Thankfully Lightningjaw was there for her while she was grieving and never stopped checking on her every chance he got. Overtime, she fell in love with the tom and wonders if he feels the same way about her. Bringing herself back to reality, she takes another bite of her fish, savoring the delicious taste.

Echolight’s head snaps over when she hears a new voice. She glances down at Goosefeather’s paws - rosemary? she mouths - then grins back up at her mentor. “Good thinking,” she says, smiling. She ignores the itch in her paws to grab the rosemary herself when Goosefeather calls for Kestrelpaw or Bumblepaw, some part of her still used to being Goosefeather’s apprentice. She opens her mouth, about to say that she didn’t know where the apprentices were and she could grab it herself, when she hears Coyoteheart. Her ears prick and she lifts her head slightly, trying to contain her grin when she spots her friend walking to her.

“Coyoteheart!” she says, waving her tail. Echolight had gotten so used to seeing her friend in the medicine cats’ den that for the first few sunrises after Brackenstar’s death, something had felt different - and it had taken her even longer to register that it was because he hadn’t been in. She had only realized it when he had popped in, and she had immediately started checking him over for injuries, asking if he was okay, only to realize that he was perfectly fine. The sudden sharp concern that she would feel whenever Coyoteheart would pop by the den has diminished over the last moon, but some part of her heart still leaps to her throat before registering that he’s okay and in one piece.

She glances down at the vole, suddenly realizing that she was hungry and hadn’t eaten at all since she’d woken up. Her heart swells at his comment - she’d told him that in passing once when he had been in getting some cuts looked at.

“Thank you,” she says, grinning at her friend. Her ears swivel at the sound of a new voice - Mistpaw, who’s currently speaking to Goosefeather - and she feels herself about to laugh. “Good morning, Mistpaw,” she calls out warmly. She focuses her full attention back to Coyoteheart. “Would you like to go outside?” Echolight asks, amused. “It feels a little crowded in here.” It would be nice to chat with him for a bit, before either of them get swept away in their duties for the day.

xxxxxTHUNDERCLASH.
xxxxxxx✦ ⋯ warrior ⋯ tom ⋯ tagged: stormpaw ⋯ mentions: ravenfall, willowstep

Thunderclash has gotten lost in his thoughts.

It’s a bit of a silly thing for a tom his age to be doing, but it happened. At some point in time, he had zoned out, thoughts switching over from concern over Ravenfall and how he trained him to what he’ll be doing that day. He figures it may be safer to plan the day after Willowstep assigns patrols - if he and Stormpaw get placed on a hunting patrol, he can see how well the apprentice does hunting. If it’s a border patrol, he would have enough energy later for training after sunhigh. As he starts debating, taking into consideration that Stormpaw is approaching the time for his warrior assessment, he feels someone crash into his back. Completely unaware, Thunderclash stumbles forward with a shout, barely saving himself from being squished by his assailant by throwing his paws under him as a last ditch effort to steady himself.

His apprentice’s bright voice hits him, and Thunderclash feels more than sees Stormpaw roll off him. Thunderclash stands to his paws, shaking his fur out and licking some of it down, trying to hide his embarrassment and mild frustration at being caught off guard so easily.

“Good morning, Stormpaw,” he greets flatly, eying his amused apprentice. “That was a good stealth attack,” Thunderclash says after a moment, sincere. He’s not sure if he would’ve seen (or even scented) Stormpaw had he not been so lost in his own mind, but the apprentice had the right idea. He licks his paw and draws it over his ear. “If you haven’t eaten yet, I would,” Thunderclash suggests. He’s pretty much got the day figured out now: if they go on a hunting patrol, he’ll watch how Stormpaw does. Afterwards, they’ll go around the territory and, if Stormpaw needed to improve on some of his hunting techniques, they would work on them. For a border patrol, they’ll train after sunhigh. If they don’t do either, he figured he’ll have Stormpaw work on climbing today.

xxxxxLEAFPAW.
xxxxxxx✦ ⋯ warrior apprentice ⋯ she-cat ⋯ tagged: wolfbite ⋯ mentions: stormpaw, thunderclash, ravenfall, honeypaw, mistpaw
xxx──────────────────────────────

Wolfbite’s greeting is stiff and somewhat formal, but Leafpaw has long grown accustomed to their greetings - especially after sleepless nights. She notes, half amused, that Wolfbite looks like they got less sleep than her. Maybe they did sit out at the entrance all night then. Wouldn’t be the first time, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. How he doesn’t want to head straight to his nest will never not amaze her.

“I’m sure it will,” she agrees, dipping her head. Until she does feel energized, she’ll have to be consciously aware of making sure she doesn’t trip over her own paws. She fluffs her fur out a bit at the morning chill and tilts her head slightly as she listens to Wolfbite continue, watching as he looks around camp. A small border patrol sounds fine - she wonders if they’ll invite Stormpaw and Thunderclash as well, but guesses that it may just be the two of them. Of course, Willowstep could always end up assigning them to a patrol anyway, in which case Wolfbite’s plan could end up moot. (of course, some small part of her wonders where for the border patrol they may go. she has to shake the thought immediately.)

“That sounds great,” she says, nodding. When they respond to her question, it takes her a moment to realize what it was in response to. When it finally clicks, she smiles. “I’m glad.”

Leafpaw holds Wolfbite’s gaze for a moment before blinking and peering around camp herself. Honeypaw and Ravenfall are still nearby the den, Mistpaw seems to be heading toward the medicine cats’ den, and she sees the aftermath of Stormpaw pouncing on Thunderclash. Holding back an amused huff, she looks back at Wolfbite. “Did you want anyone else to join us or do you want to head out now?” she asks, head tilting slightly as she asks.

xxxxxMOTHKIT.

xxx──────────────────────────────

Mothkit blinks blearily at her mother as she speaks. “Kay,” she mumbles, biting back a whine when her mother’s warmth disappears. She curls closer to her siblings. Her maw splits open in the biggest kit-yawn ever, just as Tinyleaf begins to speak. She blinks at Tinyleaf, feeling the sleepiness fading from her brain. “Gooood mornin’,” she says, sounding slightly more awake - considering her speech isn’t slurred anymore, at least. Mothkit blinks several more times before finally making out the other queen. “I’ve been very good!” she proclaims loudly, suddenly very awake. “I quieted down when mama asked me to.”

Mothkit watches as Tinyleaf shuffles closer to her and her siblings. She glances at Cinderkit and Lilykit - both still asleep - and back at Tinyleaf. Slowly, she stands on wobbly paws. Okay, maybe she’s still a little tired. She stretches, yawning again, and then pads over to Tinyleaf. Mothkit looks up at the queen and then plops down next to her, back pressed against her front leg. She peers up at the queen and then over at the entrance as Rosedapple pads in. Mothkit listens with half an ear as the medicine cat speaks to Mothkit’s denmates, and she feels herself yawning again.

She squints at Creamflower as the she-cat speaks for Tinyleaf. Why’s she get to speak for her?

With others? Ravenfall flicked his tail with discomfort. He glanced around the camp, some cats could potentially be free to join.

Then again, Ravenfall was bad at initiating interactions with others. If he believes a larger group is necessary for the young cat then he will seek it out. But perhaps Ravenfall accidentally projecting his own sense of isolation wasn't the best idea, "Just me and you." He responded and slowly stepped back before heading towards the entrance-exit of the cave and staring out unto the mountains. But then a brief realization hit him as memories began to circle, he was currently too aware of the responsibilities he held over Honeypaw. He remembered the ambush with his mother, then backtracked what he said, "But, uh... if you, y'know, have anyone in mind who is free and would like to accompany us, we can check in with them first?" He looked over at the young apprentice, hiding his inner worries. Plus who knows, maybe Honeypaw had a friend he wanted to bring along.

Wolfbite examined the camp after Leafpaw's question, his eyes settling on Thunderclash and Stormpaw, those two appeared open for a patrol. "Let's ask Thunderclash and Stormpaw." A bigger group for a patrol is never a bad idea, and two mentors with their apprentices can always be a good time for them all. It was a good mix of socializing for them and also to learn from each others failures and successes. Of course, solo trips were alright with them as well. And Stormpaw already seemed to be in a rambunctious mood with how he tackled Thunderclash. Even a hint of amusement showed on Wolfbite through the twitch of their whisker.

And so the larger fluffy cat motioned for the smaller apprentice to follow, as he headed towards the two other toms. "I am taking Leafpaw out for a patrol around the territory. Would you like to join me with Stormpaw?" Wolfbite questioned, taking note of Thunderclash mentioning Stormpaw should eat. Speaking of which, he hadn't ate either and nor has Leafpaw. That can sometimes be a good patrol test, to see how a hungry apprentices faces on a hunt against the warrior code of not eating before others. But he did not feel like that was necessary at the moment, "We can do it after everyone has eaten, if needed." Wolfbite added in, additional back up for a patrol is always welcomed and adds to the safety.

She left the warrior's den, giving the nod to the few cats being here and there as she walked to check the fresh-kill pile, there was not that much so she just walked past it to sit near the camp center just watching and waiting for what was going to happen. She didn't see Hawkpaw at the moment, but she let the younger apprentice to sleep little bit more, especially now when she was not sure if she was needed into a patrol or not. If not then she could need to make some plans with her apprentice today.

He sat near the warrior's den entrance out of the way so anyone who wanted to get out or walk in could do it, without him being their way. He looked around the camp, enjoying the morning, but also feeling a little bored, but for now, he just enjoyed his boredom as who knows how busy the day will be.

He woke up at his nest, taking his time to get out of it and just looked as some of the apprentices headed out of the apprentice den. He knew that he could need to leave it as well soon before his mentor came to tear his eyes out for not being up early. He stood up to his paws and shook his ginger pelt, before looking at Hawkpaw "Morning sister...are you not ready to get out of the den either?" he questioned her watching as she played with a moss ball there.

Cinderkit | male | kit | mother - Ivyscorch | crush - open | tags - open

The young, but already very large kitten was still at his nest, trying to sleep, but the noises outside made it almost impossible. He flicked his ears in annoyance as he narrowed his eyes at the den entrance or where the other cats were 'why do they always need to yell when speaking, canät they just talk with whispers in mornings...' he thought to himself with a yawn.

Lilykit | female |kit | mother - Ivyscorch | crush - open | tags - open

She woke up very soon after her mother and Mothkit left the den or their nest. Her ears perked as she listened to the conversations between her family and a few other cats, she didn't focus on the conversations that much though as they didn't really interest her at all.

She gave the medicine cat a brief nod as she was already on her way, Mountainstar’s attention moving to her deputy and close friend. "Good morning, Willowstep." She let out a small laugh, relaxing at the sight of her, before continuing to speak after being prompted. “Hardly, I miss being in the warrior’s den, it’s much warmer and less empty.” She joked, curling her thick tail over her paws, grateful for her dense pelt during the cold. “I think I’d like to take Mistpaw on a patrol and see how she does. As for any patrols, I’m not sure. How are you doing as deputy?” The large brown tabby asked, though she meant more along the lines of checking that it wasn’t too much for Willowstep all at once.

She gave a quick glance back the nursery, halfway expecting her kits to come tumbling after her, although she couldn’t hide the small smile on her face at mention of them. "It seems they wake me with every twitch, but all three of them looked so peaceful." Ivyscorch cared for her three kits dearly, though she wouldn’t mind occasionally having a good night’s sleep, she thought letting out a short laugh. "It’s very different for sure, but I also wouldn’t recommend playing mossball with some of the other warriors. But maybe one of these days, we could go exploring again. " If her eyes glistened with excitement at the thought of it, she didn’t notice, getting a little excited at the thought. Sometimes the nursery could be a bit smothering.

Lightningjaw had gone into the main cave, what with the many cave dens around and simply settled down away from the cave exit. With his short pelt, it was still quite cold out and he hadn’t been out for long but long enough to feel the bitter cold.

He had already settled outside of the warrior’s den, though avoided the cave entrance due to the bitter winds. Leafbare was only just ending, but most cats didn’t want to leave the cave. “Good morning Fairystep, I haven’t missed the morning patrols yet, have I?” Fangfrost joked, knowing she had a tendency to wake before him at all times.

Her gaze moved to follow her brother rustling out of his nest, letting the mossball drop to the stone floor. “Hm, no, I don’t think I will yet, and Willowstep won’t mind waiting for a bit longer. You know she’s probably talking with Mountainstar anyhow.” After being an apprentice for four moons already, she didn’t really see the appeal in it but it was probably going to get on Whitedaisy’s nerves later.

the leggy molly was glad that her friend didn't seem bothered by her calling out to him, gesturing to the space next to herself with her tail for him to have a seat at her side. the two had grown quite close over the moons, having completed their apprenticeships together, despite her being a moon older; she had joined the clan at the perfect age to begin training, despite the stress that brackenstar's leadership caused. once the white tom was close enough to her, she bumped her head against his in warm greeting. she couldn't help the grin that found its way onto her face at his teasing, reaching over to playfully nip at his ear. "oh hush you. nothing wrong with being an early bird. how'd you sleep, nice and cozy? i know that i've had a bit of a difficult time getting used to how crowded the warriors den is compared to our last one."

the pure white cat was not the best huntress, not that she had to hunt to feed herself, what with her two-leg always leaving food out for her. most of the time it was something fresh that he had caught for himself, but with him being gone for a few days, he had left out the dry kibble that wasn't her favorite by any means. she had been trying to practice her hunting skills outside of the clan's territory, not wanting to take away from her friends prey supplies. she truly wasn't very good at it though, and it you asked her, she would comment that she thought it was because of her folded ears; she could still hear normally just fine, but she still felt like she struggled to hear smaller or farther sounds that other cats could hear. she sighed softly, wondering if perhaps one of her friends would be near the border and could maybe try to help her hunting skills.

when he was first apprenticed to ravenfall, he had noticed that the older tom was a bit unsure about having an apprentice, but he figured that was just a normal feeling, being as that he was going to be ravenfall's first ever apprentice to train. he wondered sometimes if that was why his mentor always gave him options about things, when most of his friends simply did whatever their mentors suggested to them without having much of a choice in the matter. at first, it had been a struggle for the young tom, who was not prepared with having those sorts of choices for himself, but as the moons went by he was growing to enjoy his mentor's more unique methods. standing up as his mentor began to move off, he barely stopped his paws in time from running into the older tom as he stopped and gave honeypaw one of those options. "well, i know that mistpaw and i get along well, and we both take our warrior training really seriously, so we could invite her and mountainstar to come with us. if they don't already have plans. "

❅. ── ❝ longhair classic tabby maine coon w/ green-yellow eyes. ❞


the large tom realized after speaking that his comment could be a bit weird; who remembered someone's favorite food after just a passing comment from ages ago? but then again, echolight had become the closest friend that he had in the clan over the moons, so if there was anyone he would know so well, perhaps it did make sense that he would know hers. after all, she had been the one, even as a medicine cat apprentice, to always go out of her way to make him feel welcomed when he would frequent the medicine den for various injuries and things, so it was totally normal for the tom to have developed a closeness with the first cat to show him consistent kindness. at least, that was what he told himself anyways. he couldn't help the small smile that found its way onto his maw at his friend's excitement at his presence; smiles were a rare thing for the tom, but echolight was one of the few cats who could consistently get them out of him.

"sure echolight, i would like that." he gestured with his fluffy head back towards the entrance of the medicine den before he turned around himself and slipped out, greeting the young mistpaw with a simple nod of his head as he passed by her. settling in a seated position a few hares leaps away from the entrance of the den, he wrapped his fluffy tail around his paws, willing the thing to stop flicking around in nerves as his yellow-green eyes nervously took in the spacious cave before him. it had been a moon since his brother had been killed, but he still expected the cruel tom to pop up out of nowhere sometimes and continue his unkind behaviors towards him; especially when he was in big open spaces like this. hence why he sat with his back firmly pressed against the wall, so no one would be able to sneak up behind him.

as goosefeather was in the middle of drawing his tongue across his front paw, two more cats appeared in the den. the soft voice of coyoteheart came first, mentioning that he had brought echolight some food. the air around the entrance of the den shifted to something like awkwardness - it was radiating off of coyoteheart so intensely, goosefeather couldn't help but allow a purr to rise from his throat. then, another cat came in, one that was greeting him. he swiveled his head just as mistpaw placed some food at his paws, and he couldn't help but smile. "good morning young one," he purred, reaching forwards until his nose pressed between the apprentices ears. "thank you for bringing me some food," he mentioned, angling his ears towards his other medicine cat and coyoteheart as they left the den. "how are you doing this morning?" he asked towards mistpaw, reaching forward with his paw to pull the mouse towards him.

"d'you want to share the bird with me leafpaw?" he asked, pushing it more towards her direction.

spacerSageblossom slipped through the entrance of camp, a plump vole hanging from her mouth. She wasn't the only one up bright and early, and hardly the only one who had left for some early morning hunting. In one way or another, she was sure the clan was still reeling from the events of the past moon, and for her, it culminated in horrendous sleep quality. Shaking off a wave of fatigue, she began to scan the clearing for someone to share her catch with.

spacerHer eyes brushed past most cats, but lingered slightly on Mountainstar's dark pelt. Just the sight of their leader brought a smile to her face, but she quickly noted that the she-cat was accompanied by Willowstep. She felt a strange sense of disappointment, however, it was promptly masked by a sense of contentment. Despite all that had happened, Peakclan had survived, and the leader and deputy were working together in harmony for the good of them all. It was comforting to know that two of her trusted clanmates and friends were at the forefront of directing of their clan's future.

spacerShe spotted Whitedaisy, who was sitting just to the side of the clearing. Sageblossom sidled up beside her adoptive littermate, gently dropping the piece of prey at her feet. "Morning, Whitedaisy! Care to share this with me?" She pushed the vole closer to the other warrior with a warm purr. "How have you been lately? Any plans for today?"

spacerBumblepaw's body rose and fell with each breath, still in a state of slumber. His ears twitched first, then his nose. Scent after scent and noise after noise filled his senses, leading him to finally stir awake. Shaking off the drowsiness of a late night spent organizing herbs, he slowly rose to his feet, jaws opening wide in a yawn. As usual, he blinked a couple times, assessing his sight for the day. With a slight frown, he found he could only see the hazy outlines of the numerous cats that had gathered nearby, muddled with spots of black. What was all the commotion so early in the morning?

spacerHe poked his head out the corner, mentally naming his clanmates as he recognized them. There was Kestrelpaw, with a distinctive black tip to his fluffy tail, Goosefeather and his raspy purr, Echolight's cheerful chirps in response to Coyoteheart's nervous shuffling, and finally, the telltale lavender scent of his friend Mistpaw. The only cat missing from the scene was Rosedapple, who he guessed was out doing her daily rounds of socializing. He darted out into full sight, dipping his head in greeting to everyone as he cautiously made his way to Mistpaw's side, greeting her with a light tap of his tail to her shoulder. "Why's everyone bunched up in this tiny den?" he grumbled to her in a whisper.

spacerThe scent of rosemary pierced through the air, catching his attention. He squinted in the direction it came from, tilting his head to place a fuzzy object in his vision, which he deemed to be a bundle of rosemary. He presumed Goosefeather had picked them up, and brightened slightly, seeing his chance to escape the crowd. "I'll store these in the back," Bumblepaw mewed. "Talk to you later, Mistpaw?" He promptly left, gently brushing past the female apprentice to let her know he was leaving.
