Hollykit
Hollykit froze as her mother's voice murmured sleepily behind her. Turning around, she made the quick decision not to mention Larchkit's disappearance. Larchkit is probably fine...no need to get her in trouble if there's a chance Ferncloud won't notice! "The camp was noisy," she answered honestly, padding back over and settling against her mother's pale fur once more. "But I'm feeling like I could go back to sleep now!" Privately, Hollykit knew that part wasn't true. There was no way she could sleep not knowing where Larchkit went. Was she doing the right thing? Her ear twitched uncertainly. Ferncloud would be unhappy with her for not telling, but Larchkit might be mad if she squealed. Suppressing a sigh, she lay her head on her paws, keeping an eye on the den's opening.

Ferncloud | Nursery "Okay," Ferncloud murmured, her eyes drooping as she watched her kit curl up beside her again. She herself felt like she could sleep for a little while longer. Just until Dustpelt got back from the patrol he was probably on, and their kits wanted to wake and play. She smiled at the thought of it, letting her eyes drift shut. Just for a few more heartbeats, she thought, letting the warm air of morning coax her back into sleep. Leafpaw | Medicine den "Would you like me to walk you back to the nursery?" Leafpaw asked, giving Larchkit an inquiring look. She just wanted to help; but us if Larchkit didn't want her to, that was okay as well. Larchkit probably didn't want Ferncloud to think she was in trouble. But Leafpaw only intended to take her there as a friend, not as a chastiser. After all, Larchkit hadn't meant any harm. She had only wandered too far from the nursery.

(At work so short reply)
Larchkit shuffled her paws, uncertain. "I think I can go back myself," she meowed after a heartbeat. If Leafpaw brought her back, it would draw more attention and make it seem like she was in trouble. She decided it would be better to try to sneak back on her own. Hopefully, Ferncloud and her littermates would still be asleep.

Hollykit
Hollykit was relieved when Ferncloud's breathing once again slowed with sleep. Keeping her ears pricked, she felt a flash of frustration that she couldn't properly see out the entrance from where she lay. And Larchkit still wasn't back... Should she have told Ferncloud? Doubt began to weasel into her mind, and she flexed her claws in uncertainty. What if something bad had happened to Larchkit?

Leafpaw | Medicine den "Okay," Leafpaw meowed, giving Larchkit a small, understanding nod. She'd assumed that Larchkit wouldn't want her to come; she'd probably think she would get in trouble. Leafpaw knew she could probably have explained the situation to Ferncloud, but Larchkit seemed to be fine on her own. "Goodbye, then," she mewed, turning to head back into the medicine den after a moment. As she padded back in-between the boulders, she watched Larchkit out of the corners of her amber eyes to see where she would go. Just to be sure.

Larchkit nodded, turning to leave. "Bye, Leafpaw!" she meowed as she bounded back down the fern tunnel to the main of camp. She was relieved that it didn't seem like any of her siblings, or Ferncloud, were awake yet. She skunk quietly back into the nursery and rejoined them in their nest, careful not to wake their mother as she curled up next to Hollykit.
(Lmao short post sorry)

Hollykit
It took all of Hollykit's self-discipline, and more, not to immediately react when Larchkit suddenly appeared, returning to the nest. Hollykit's eyes had been narrowed with dreariness, and it seemed as though Larchkit hadn't noticed she was awake. Feeling a flicker of mischief, she considered springing up and scaring the fur off her sister. She couldn't, though; that would definitely wake Ferncloud up. Instead, she cracked an eye open and peered at her littermate. "Where'd you go?" she breathed, quickly adding in a soft whisper, "Mother drifted awake, but I kept her from noticing."
Curiosity made her want to ask more questions, but she forced herself to wait. Ferncloud was so close, she didn't dare speak for too long. Larchkit didn't look like she'd been in too much trouble. Although she did smell a little...herby.

Larchkit started slightly as Hollykit spoke, not realizing her littermate was awake, but she quickly recovered and bent her head to lick her chest in embarrassment at her surprise. At her question, she let out a soft purr, casting her sister a mischievous look.
"I went to medicine den!" she boasted, forgetting the fact that Hollykit had said Ferncloud had woken up. "It's in a rock just like Highrock but smaller, and everything smells like flowers and leaf sap," she whispered excitedly.

Leafpaw | Medicine den β ThunderClan camp Leafpaw went back to her sorting duties when she was sure that Larchkit had left the clearing. Her breathing, quickened by the slight confusion and concern of having a young kit wander into the medicine clearing, slowed back to normal. She placed the rest of the wilted borage she'd been sorting earlier onto the pile of discarded plants, letting Larchkit drift from her mind. I wonder when Cinderpelt will get back, she thought, absentmindedly adding a small, dull sprig of chervil to the pile as well. There. That'll do it, she decided, tucked the fresher herbs back into their slots, then wrapped the old ones into a bundle and padded out of the den, on her way to leave them outside the camp. (Meanwhile, Ferncloud is still asleep. XD Didn't know how I could write a whole reply to say that.) (Also, Leafpaw's in the main part of camp now if anyone wants to have their character bump into her.)

(how about literally? >:) )
Shrewpaw had been carrying a bundle of moss to the elders' den at Speckletail's request, the soft bundles puffing out from under his chin in green clouds and obscuring both his vision and coordination. He maneuvered across the camp as best he could- a fairly easy feat, considering it was still early and mostly empty- but as he neared the elders' den, he felt his shoulder collide with something solid, sending him staggering and scattering his moss across the ground.
"Mouse-dung!" he cursed, lashing his tail at the sight of all his hard work strewn about. Then he looked up, noticing the tang of herbs. "Oh... oh no! I'm sorry, Leafpaw!" he stuttered in horror, realizing he had walked almost face first into the medicine cat apprentice. Her brown pelt had blended with the background, making her even harder for him to see with his sight obscured as it was. Now, the herbs she had been carrying were scattered across the ground as well, hopelessly mixed with the tufts of moss.

Leafpaw | ThunderClan camp Leafpaw had been making her way straight to the entrance of the camp, but she had also been simultaneously watching the apprentices' den for clues on her sister's whereabouts, which had left her distracted and unable to stop another apprentice from running right into her. Her heart jumped with surprise, then fell in disappointment as she saw all of her herbs becoming scattered across the ground. Noticing the moss that was unmistakably mixed in as well, she looked up to see Shrewpaw, his face mirroring the same disappointment and shock as her own, although he also seemed to be a bit alarmed. "It's okay," she mewed, crouching and beginning to swipe the mess into a pile. "We all make mistakes sometimes." Besides, it was partly her fault as well, as she hadn't been paying attention. She let her fur flatten. Shrewpaw was the one who had been the most unfortunate: the herbs she had been carrying had been meant to be discard anyway, but he was surely going to use his moss for something. Now, it was as good as wasted.

Shrewpaw stared at her for a moment, his momentary panic fading as he realized she wasn't made. He dipped his head. "Sorry again, Leafpaw," he meowed as he crouched down to help her, trying to separate as many as the herbs he could from the moss and separating them into two piles. He hoped he could salvage some of the moss, but he knew he would probably have to go get some more either way. Even if it didn't have bits of herb mixed with it, now it was covered in sand. "I hope they weren't anything important?" the dark brown apprentice asked.

Leafpaw | ThunderClan camp "No, they weren't," Leafpaw replied, picking a large, flattened borage leaf out from the pile of mixed plants. "I was just on my way to take them out of camp. They're too wilted and stale to use." She heard a faint huff from within the elders' den, and she realized that, even though neither she nor Shrewpaw were angry about the collision, whoever wasn't getting their fresh bedding right then might be. She wondered which elder Shrewpaw had been fetching moss for, and how they would react when he got there late. Looking over her shoulder, she thought of another cat who might not be too pleased with them either. What would Cinderpelt think about this? Would she be angry?

Hollykit
"So that's why you smell like that!" Hollykit exclaimed, then quickly checked behind her to make sure Ferncloud was still asleep. "You know, you'd better give yourself a wash- if I can smell the herbs on you, then mother definitely will!" She stretched forward to give her sister a few helpful licks. "I wish I could've seen it! How did you manage to not get caught?"
(sorry for the short post!)

(Also if anyone would be interested in joining a unique roleplay of a group of Clans based on the original five, click the link in my description. The roleplay will, hopefully, start for real soon but I need more members for the Clans. Deputy and medicine cat ranks are currently open for both Clans and any of you would be welcome to claim those roles.)

Shrewpaw let out a relieved sigh. "That's good. I would hate to have ruined anything important." He continued to to scrape together the usable moss, wincing as he heard Speckletail huffing from inside the elders' den. He would have to go out and try to find more moss.... most of this patch was now to sandy, and fragrant, to be of any use. He quickly made a small bundle of anything that was clean, rolling it up tightly to pick it up- it was now small enough that it could all easily fit in his jaws. He dipped his head to Leafpaw.
"Sorry again! I'll be back in a moment to finish clearing up," he promised, picking up the ball of moss and bounding towards the elders' den. He dipped his head to Longtail, who was lounging outside, as he passed, before slipping through the long grass and into the interior.
"Sorry, Speckletail," he apologized, dropping the ball of moss next to the old she-cat's nest. "There was an accident... I'll have to go get more moss in a moment. But I'll do what I can with this first."
The elder huffed as she moved out of the way, letting Shrewpaw clear away some of the old moss and replace it with the new. She grumbled a bit under her breath, but Shrewpaw didn't catch what she said. Either way, he wasn't offended; he knew she was grumpy because her joints were stiff and painful. After he finished, he carried the old moss back outside, greeting Leafpaw again.
"Told you I'd be back," he meowed, dropping the nest moss with the rest of what was to be discarded. He began rolling it up as tightly as he could; even so, it would still probably take at least two trips to bring it all out of camp.
"All I did was walk over there!" Larchkit explained excitedly, almost not hearing Hollykit's suggestion that she wash herself. "It was covered by ferns. I didn't know where the tunnel led to, but I knew it wasn't the exit of camp. It didn't smell like enough cats," she explained. "So I went through it, and there was a big rock! And then Leafpaw came out and asked what I was doing there. And I said that I was exploring, and she said she wouldn't tell Ferncloud. And then I came back," the kit finished proudly.

Leafpaw | ThunderClan camp Leafpaw dipped her head as Shrewpaw promised to finish helping her clean up the mess. She finished placing the last of the herbs in her pile in silence as Shrewpaw delivered the functional bedding to the elders, waiting for him to return. When he did, taking half of the bundle of old plants in his jaws, she bent down and picked up the rest. She then stood and began making her way out of the camp, again, but looked back to see if Shrewpaw was following.

(yo so it seems like this is pretty much dead at this point.... it didn't pick up as much speed as I had hoped, especially in the other Clans, and then whatever momentum it had promptly died off.... so if anyone besides Maple is still around and wants to continue feel free to prove me wrong; otherwise, any of you are welcome on this new planning page of mine if you're interested. I could use all the help I could get, and more people from the start who intend to stick around, the better chance it has at not fizzling out immediately like this did T-T )

(No it's not just you. Everyone kind of vanished. And all three of the other Clans are dead af. I mean if people do come back, or new people see this and join, then I'll be glad to continue this but like... idk. I mean we can try to rp a bit and see where it goes but also it seems pointless to have just ThunderClan when the other three have been mostly stagnant from the get-go. Idk.)
