Starflight

"Thanks, I'll make sure your mentors know that you were helpful today in camp." Starflight said, leading the way to the warriors den. Since it was the biggest, it would be the first one they would clean. Starflight began scooping all the old moss into one big pile in the middle of the den. She didn't mind helping out, and she knew that her sister would be keeping her careful eye on both of their kits.

Lynxpaw dragged his hind paws after Starflight, groaning and muttering complaints under his breath. He should get to do something exciting, not cleaning after the warriors. He let out a huff, then began scraping away the old moss. His whiskers twitched in annoyance as he watched Squirrelpaw, all perfect, scrape away the moss. He growled and flung some moss at her, grinning.

Squirrelpaw scraped the moss into a neat pile with her claws, keeping a sharp eye on Lynxpaw in case he got any ideas. Sure enough, Lynxpaw flicked some moss straight at her face. She ducked, and the moss fell on the ground beside her. She growled. "You little furball," she muttered, tackling her brother from behind. He yelped, and within seconds she had him pinned. "Gotcha again." she laughed. but Lynxpaw wouldn't give up. Typical. He lunged for her, and she fell to the ground. They wrestled some more, shouting insults at one another and rolling through the piles of moss they had made.

Sharpclaw sighed and padded back to camp. He didn't like keeping what he saw all to his mind, since it formed to stress in his sleep. He found himself in the warriors den. Squirrelpaw and Lynxpaw were fighting each other. What were they doing? Confused, he let out a low growl. He didn't like growling to any one, especially apprentices or kits, but they should be doing what they should do. Moss was piled in a heap at the middle. They were changing the moss?

Twigsnap watched Sharpclaw curiously as he pelted off. He was as jumpy as a rabbit around a fox. He shook his head. Maybe he just had a bellyache and didn't want to admit it. He went and finished marking the borders, then padded back to the rest of the patrol. "Sharpclaw went back to camp," he reported to Eveningstar. "I think he had a bellyache."

Dawnfire watched as Sharpclaw padded into camp. She pricked her ears, wondering if there was something wrong. She hurried over to him, her tail twitching anxiously. "Is everything alright?" she asked, looking around. "Why did you come back without the rest of the patrol? Did something happen?" She looked at him. He definitely seemed worked up about something.

Starflight

"Lynxpaw! Squirrelpaw!" Starflight said loudly, her voice a little bit angry sounding. "You can play later, right now we are cleaning the warriors den. I can get rid of the rest of this, but I want you two to go fetch the clean moss." Starflight instructed strictly. This wasn't her typical way of doing things, but she felt that these apprentices needed a stronger voice to shove them in the right direction.

Lynxpaw pulled off of his sister, groaning. He muttered something about unfairness, and shuffled out of the den, quickly followed by Squirrelpaw. "You had to cause a scene, didn't you?" he growled, shaking moss free from his golden-brown pelt. It shimmered in the sunlight, making him uncomfortably hot. He shook his head free of the moss that clung to his ears.

Squirrelpaw hissed, resisting the urge to lunge at him. She bit back a retort, which wasn't easy, and dragged herself into the forest. She found a nice patch of moss, right in the sunlight, and scraped it free with care. taking it in her jaws, she gave it a light shake, letting all the dirt fall out. She glanced at Lynxpaw, rolling her eyes as he tore apart the moss. "What are you trying to do, shred it?" she mewed sarcastically.

[hotaru.]

A voice snapped him up to reality. He spun around, his heels snapping a branch that was near him. His fur was fluffed up in surprise, but the moment he realized it was just Dawnfire, he put his head down low. Did she notice him thinking about the thing he just saw? "I-I..." He suddenly realized that Eveningstar had told him to come back after he marked the borders. His ears perked up, then stifled a sigh. "Nothing," he quickly stammered. He didn't want to admit that he had forgotten. "I-I... My wound on my hind leg hurt," he lied. He felt like a traitor for lying, but he was on of the senior warriors. The sky he saw returned to his mind. What should he say about this?

[Steamturtle]

Dawnfire gave him a suspicious look. "Well, if you're leg's bothering you that badly, you should go see Flowertail," she meowed. Her voice was firm, but not harsh or mocking. She relaxed and sat down in front of him, giving his shoulder a comforting lick. "Are you sure nothing's wrong?" she mewed. "You are a little jumpy. Is anything else bothering you?" Her eyes were comforting, but they also reflected concern and a bit of curiosity.

Starflight

As Starflight got rid of the last of the old moss, carefully placing it downstream from the drinking pool in camp, she hoped that the apprentices weren't getting into more trouble, and that they would return from the surrounding marsh-lands soon. In the meantime, she started to clear the moss out of the apprentice's den.

((Do remember that Sunclan lives in the marshy land with lots of pools of water around, not in the forest. ))

(Sorry, I forgot. Thank you for telling me.)

Sharpclaw closed his eyes when he felt the soothing lick on his shoulder. DId his mother always lick him like this? He shook his head and opened his eyes. He was glad that Dawnfire was worrying, but how should he explain that he forgot? But he felt like he trusted her. For no reason, even though she was probably going to report it to the leader. "Dawnfire, I'm sorry. My wound did hurt, but I lied. I actually forgot that Eveningstar told me that I should be back with his patrol." He hung his head down low, ashamed of himself.
