(Mongrel do you keep like deleting your posts or something? bc I can't see anything that you type....nvm it all loaded in for me lol)
Quietsmoke heard Leopardstar's call for a hunting patrol and padded over. "I'll go!" She meowed and flicked her tail in greeting to the leader and then to Yewdapple.
(Flash Timberspirit and Fightpaw can rp together since they are mentor and apprentice!)
Timberspirit nodded to Leopardstar when he saw that the tom was leading a hunting patrol. He himself wanted to lead a border patrol. He padded towards the apprentice den and poked his head inside, looking for his apprentice. "Fightpaw?" He called out in his serious sounding tone.
Stagpaw finished his robin and looked to Fernpoppy with wide eyes. "We then I'm gonna MASTER the basics! And that's gonna make me the best hunter ever!" He told her with confidence, and then went to race out of camp and to the training clearing, eager to get started.

Yewdapple couldn't help leering at the keen little apprentice, but in a good-intentioned way. She watched the goings-on fondly, relishing the spectacle of the mere everyday life of the honorable Clan she loved so.
Leanstep approached the mentor and apprentice duo with trepidation. "May I come?" squeaked the tagalong little warrior in his tenuous voice.

((ok))
Fightheart awoke from his sleep in fright, he was having a really relaxing dream and was not prepared for the 'scary' voice of his mentor. "W-what's up Timberspirit?" he said, stumbling over his words.

(Mongrel... Which mentor and apprentices? Theres like 2 in camp still lol)
Timberspirit blinked in surprise. "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you Fightpaw," His tone was more friendly this time. "I was just wondering if you wanted to join me for a border patrol." He offered his apprentice a friendly look.

Mothpaw: Mothpaw is an 8 moon old, tan tabby tom with amber eyes and a white chest and muzzle. He's a kindhearted, hardworking, and at times proud cat, always willing to give advice and a listening ear. He's particularly tender to cats younger than him. He likes to keep busy, as dwelling in his thoughts tends to lead him to being overly critical of those around him. He gets great satisfaction from seeing his friends succeed, but can be prone to jealousy if he feels he isn't being appreciated. Armed with a sharp tongue and claws in a fight, Mothpaw isn't one to hold back against an enemy. Clanborn, his sister and father died of greencough. His mother abandoned clanlife for that of a kittypet. This is a detail he's particularly ashamed of and tries to avoid discussing family because of it.
Astergaze: Astergaze is a 55 moon old, large muscular white tom with blue eyes and black patches on his head, shoulders and tail. He has a notch in his left ear and patchy fur covering smaller scars on his belly. Astergaze is a very lighthearted, but experienced cat. He is quick to tease and joke with his clanmates, but will be firm and serious when he senses danger. Not a fan of public speaking or leading, but will always add his two cents to an important matter. Can sometimes come off as double-sided due to his inability to find the happy medium between jovial and dead serious. Clanborn, he's outlived his family and has yet to take a mate.
Dewfang didn't pad over to the hunting patrol about to depart. She would've liked to join, but the patrol was a decent size as is, and someone awake should keep an eye on the camp. She took a mouse from the fresh kill pile and sat down to eat.
Daisykit woke in the empty nursery and fluffed out her fur. The nest was warm, but sometimes it still felt empty. She couldn't wait to be an apprentice. That den always seemed full.
[Thank you, Pumpkin! The darker red is more bearable. Also, @mongrel I noticed your defense for why Leanstep is such young warrior and while I agree there isn't a set amount of training time, its usually around 6 or so moons of training. SO it feels like its only possible if Leanstep had a lax mentor who approved him prematurely, an extremely intense mentor that trained him like mad so he was ready absurdly early, or if he was a really talented learner who picked up everything fast. I have to disagree with the assertion that 8 moons is a good warrior age because a cat reaches maturity around 6 moons. Being an apprentice has nothing to do with age, but how trained the cat is. The reason clans wait until a cat is 6 moons is because they don't want to train children. A cat isn't made warrior because they are an adult, they're already adults as apprentices. Being a warrior is about skill. Just had to get that off my chest. I don't mind Leanstep being a warrior, but I will rolepay as though he is a very young warrior because that's what he is in comparison to the average new warrior's age.]

Also him being made a warrior so early would make all the rest of the apprentices upset and feel as if it was unfair that they don't get to be warriors as soon as Leanstep did. It would probably feel like a similar situation to when Cloudpaw got to be a warrior and the rest of the apprentices didn't in the first series.)

Coal padded back to the front where his patient was with some marigold. He was already chewing it into a pulp as he arrived, then placed it on a small spiderweb. He gently placed it over his paw, then looked up at him. "There you go. If you notice it becomes infected, please see me immediately, but it should be fine."

If anything, it makes the RP more interesting. Don't forget, they're all fictional characters. Playthings, essentially. Really, Leanstep may not seem special, but he's got a stronger will than even Yewdapple. He pushed hard to train willingly, because his bigger, stronger sister was made a warrior even before him and he felt left out and estranged. His arrogant, prideful, prissy sister, who went away in shame after she contracted the mange from a loner, always bullied and harried him, more so after his mother died, and he felt the need to prove himself to her. He's got a tough inner core and isn't afraid to push himself to do things others might believe absurd or abnormal. Anywho, I knew he was a younger warrior. That was kind of the point. ]

[ I will add your cats soon Sparrow! Thanks:D Sadly, I do not at the moment Fire, but you can join in patrol with us! ]
The camp seemed rather quiet but Leopardstar had called for the hunting patrol anyway. He knew that some cats had gone out later last night and would be ready now to go on patrol while the others were just returning. He was thankful when Quietstorm spoke up. He dipped his head to the warrior and waited for any others. It seemed like a decent crew, Yewdapple, himself and Quietstorm but the pile was quite empty, so a few more warriors wouldn't hurt.
----
"Hang on there buster," Fernpoppy laughed as she watched her apprentice bound around so quickly with excitement. "You just finished eating. You don't want to get a stomach ache," she gave a small purr of laughter and followed more slowly after her apprentice.

He gently placed it over his paw, then looked up at him. "There you go. If you notice it becomes infected, please see me immediately, but it should be fine." He nodded a quick thanks and wiggled his paw around. "Thanks Coal, it'll be good as new soon enough." He dipped his head and was about to leave but then stopped himself and eyed the tom over a question that had long since been bugging him. "Why did you leave your old home?" He asked. "Why did you come here?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to join me for a border patrol." He offered his apprentice a friendly look. Fightpaw shook his head to wake himself up slightly more, he was still used to taking long naps in the nursery, being an apprentice was far more work than he expected, but also more exciting. "Yeah Timberspirit, I would love to go on a patrol with you!" Fightpaw has only been on a few border patrols since he became apprentice, "Who else will be coming?". ((sorry about the delayed post))

Bravepaw nodded, smiling. "That works," she said. "I thought fishing would be fun... or maybe hunting... but battle moves sound awesome, too! I'll be the best warrior in all the Clans!" She bounced up and down on her paws with excitement.

"If you'd prefer, we could practice hunting skills as well. You will need to learn those before going out in the forest to start hunting right away. You don't want to be so clumsy on your paws that you'll scare all the prey away." She gave a small laugh. "We might even catch Stagpaw and Fernpoppy out training." She said. "I think Fernpoppy mentioned something about practicing there today."

"Hunting?" Bravepaw asked, excitement churning in her stomach even more. "I want to help contribute to the Clan," she said, thinking of the prey pile this morning. "I want to hunt like the Warriors! Can we do that? Can we?"

Can we do that? Can we?" Tawneywhisker nodded. "Of course we can!" She began to lead the way back to camp towards the training clearing. "That's the attitude!" She meowed, flicking her tail behind her. "We will start with just basic crouches so you will be ready in no time and move on to pouncing, being able to pick out the sounds and senses. Hunting is not easy and requires a lot of practice and focus but you'll learn quickly I am sure"

Bravepaw followed her mentor, head held high. She was glad that Tawneywhisker thought she'd be a natural in no time, and she couldn't wait to prove to her mentor that she was right. Please don't mess this up! she told herself as they neared the clearing. Make Tawneywhisker proud! She wanted her mentor to tell the other apprentices and mentors that Bravepaw was doing good in her training!

She wanted her mentor to tell the other apprentices and mentors that Bravepaw was doing good in her training! The clearing was soon in view and Tawneywhisker could feel herself picking up speed. She was excited herself to see how well her apprentice could learn the skills she needed to become a warrior. As they neared, she noticed the Fernpoppy and Stagpaw were not there yet. "Hmm, it looks like we will be alone for now. I'll teach you the basics first and by the time Stagpaw gets here you can show off your moves," she gave a smile. "Let me know when you are ready to being."

Tawneywhisker nodded and looked around the clearing for a leaf. Luckily it was fall so there were plenty. She picked one up in her mouth and and dropped it in the center. She backed up beside Bravepaw. "We are going to practice on this leaf to start. I know it sounds kit-ish, but it will help." She started. "I want you to get in a crouch. You want to try and keep your body low, try not to wiggle around too much." She knelt down in a crouch to demonstrate.

[ @mongrel All righty then! In your previous comment it sounded as though you didn't think 8 moons was young for an apprentice. Glad to know you do. Its awkward to rp drama when the other person doesn't think its something that validates drama. Also, thank you for clarifying what drove Leanstep to train harder. It's useful info for when rping my older characters who would know a little about that kind of context. eg. Dewfang knowing Leanstep had a sister. On your reminder of these being fictional characters: Don't make the assumption that because I care about world-building lore and natural character development that I, for even a moment, think that these characters are anything more than characters. Its insulting to my intelligence. I don't think you necessarily meant to be rude, but I have a big pet peeve about people giving me 'reminders' about things that are obvious facts. Please know I'm not taking it personally, I just want to be clear and honest about how those kinds of comments make me feel.]
Mothpaw ran after Tawnywhisker and Bravepaw. He caught up to them at the training grounds. He skidded to a halt and looked up at Tawneywhisker hopefully, "H-hey! Could I train with guys?" He glanced at Bravepaw from the corner of his eyes, hoping she wouldn't be too upset about him intruding on her training.
Daisykit emerged from the nursery and looked around the camp excitedly, wondering what she'd learn today. She bounced over to the Medicine den, next door and poked her head in. She wasn't a fan of the smell, but Coal was always doing some kind of gross thing with plants she could watch. It seemed she'd missed the show though; the medicine cat looked like he'd just finished treating a warrior. The piles of herbs were tempting her to knock a few over, but she'd learned that that wasn't a game medicine cats appreciated. Pouting, she pulled away from the den and wandered over to the elders den, which was empty. Warriors had mentioned elders before, but there weren't any she knew of. She felt a chill go down her spine as she wondered if they'd all died in their sleep. She stared at the entrance as if hoping a ghost would rise from it. When nothing happened, Daisykit crept away to the center of camp where there were more live cats to entertain her imagination.

[ Hey Sparrow! I am adding your other two charries now! Do you have any preference for a mentor for Mothpaw? ]
Tawneywhisker was just getting into a crouch, readying herself to model for Bravepaw what she was supposed to do, when a voice broke her concentration. She looked over from the corner of her eyes to see Mothpaw. She sat up and shook her pelt. "I wouldn't mind it," She meowed with a small smile. "In fact, it could do Bravepaw some good to have a partner, isn't that right?" She glanced over at Bravepaw. "Have you already learned basic crouches for hunting?" She asked. "That is what we are working on now." She wasn't sure how far along the apprentice was in his training, whereas today was Bravepaw's first day.
