She rolled her eyes and shifted the herb piles away from the entrance, hoping to protect them for a few minutes more.

Coyote call looked on at the bickering siblings in amusement. It reminded him of him and his brother, even though when his brother annoyed him he usually just ignored him.
Stormwish looked over to the fresh kill pile, watching the goings on. He was tired, but he had only hunted for half the night. Plus, Shimmerwind was going. Being around her made him feel like he could keep going forever, though he would never admit it.
"I could go hunting with you guys" He said nonchalantly, licking his paw. "Ghekoeyes looks so hungry he might eat the whole fresh kill pile, I better help stock it up." He teased, smiling at Ghekoeyes.

Orchidblossom looked at the apprentice, who was still there

Poppypaw quietly took the hint and backed away from the irritated Healer. Sometimes the cats in the clan would treat her like an outsider, which she was, but it was hard on her kittypet brain to accept that there were always going to be cats who didn't like her. She turned and padded towards her mentor, Stormwish. "Hi stormwish," she mewed, sadly. "Are we doing an training today?"

She rolled her eyes again and wrinkled her nose at the trashed herbs. she called to Stormwish, "Can you please tell your apprentice to watch it around my herbs? She trashed the sage, and I won't have another fresh supply for another week at least." She threw the trashed herbs to show him.

Wildspirit had taken a quiet evening stroll that had quickly turned into an all night event of wandering around the oasis. She was just returning to camp as the sun began to peek over the horizon, and the short-haired cats began to wake. She carried a small lizard and a mouse, both dangling from her jaws. Wildspirit padded up to the freshkill pile and nudged her way past Coyotecall and Geckoeyes, dropping her catch unceremoniously on the pile. Her thick tail held a few twigs that had been caught late in the night, she had a plan to remove those later on in the day, but she wasn't quite worried about them at the moment. Her yellow eyes flicked at Coyotecall as she turned from the pile, it wasn't necessarily a friendly look, but it wasn't quite unhappy either. She "accidently" bumped him as she walked away. Who knows what Wildspirit was thinking most of the time. She padded towards the edge of camp, to groom and bask in the sunlight that was slowly spreading across the dried lakebed that the clan called home.(^ this is my new, mildly angry character. I love her. )

"What are you upset about" Stormwish mewed, hearing the sadness in his apprentices mew. "Of course were doing training today! Were going on a hunting trip, to refill the fresh kill pile! Its going to be fun" Stormwish flicked Poppypaw with his tail, grinning at her. "We are going to bring back so much prey that were going to completly fill up the camp!"

Stormwish looked at Orchidblossom "I'm so sorry about that" He glared at his apprentice for show, but his blue eyes were friendly. "I'll make sure she goes out with you to collect more sage after we hunt."
(Wildspirit seems so sassy. I love her too!)

She grumpily sighed and turned away. "When will that cat learn?"

Poppypaw purred as her mentor perked her spirits up. "Cool, I can't wait to hunt! Maybe i'll catch a rabbit, wouldn't that be cool," Her eyes sparked with excitement and she shifted her feet, ready to run. She flattened her ears and looked away with sad eyes as he 'scolded' her in front of Orchidblossom. She couldn't help but let out a little squeak of laughter though.

Stormwish turned back towards Poppypaw when Orchidblossum turned away. "Its ok, its not your fault, just be more careful next time. Orchidblossum doesn't hate you or anything, its probably just stressful being the only cat to take care of us all."

Orchidblossom's ears perked up. She looked at the 'paw. "When will she learn you can't go you're whole life being protected by your mentor, or acting like a kit..."

"And I'm sure you could catch a rabbit, He looked at Shimmerwind and Ghekoeyes, who were still around the fresh kill pile.
"We better get going, they can meet up with us later" Stormwish decided, leading his apprentice out of the camp. He gave an apolagetic glance at Orchidblossum as they headed out of camp. His apprentice would learn. It reflected badly on both of them if she never became a warrior.

Geckoeyes flicked his ear at Stormwish as he scarfed down the last of his meal. "Hey, wait up!" He leapt after the tom and his apprentice and quickly fell in line behind them. The big tom's paws hit the dirt with a thud as he padded with them.
Poppypaw nodded at her mentors request and made her way out of camp with him. "I will, I just wanted to help her." Her eyes hardened as she looked up at Stormwish. She tried her best to be the best warrior she could be, but it was going to take time to get her to where she needs to be.

Mountainveil had recently crawled out of her den and into the slowly brightening day. She flicked her one good ear and stretched her old bones, joints popping as she did. She padded over to the freshkill pile and poked through it with her paw, unhappy with the lack of prey that sat upon it. She gave a look to her son, Coyotecall, "Where's all the food? And to follow up that question; why aren't you out there hunting?" Her gaze seemed to burn towards her son, but there was a slight crack of amusement beneath her icy stare.

Geckoeyes threw a glance at his sister as she approached him with a smile. "Possibly," he said casually. His sister enjoyed bugging him, and he enjoyed making her feel mildly unwanted. Ya, sure, he knew it was cruel, but she usually seemed to take it all in good spirits. Usually. He took a few steps away from the fresh-kill pile and dropped his meal on the ground. He quickly started scarfing it down. ShimmerWind ------- ShimmerWind looked at her brother with an annoyed glare "I think StormWish might be right you actually might eat all the fresh kill! well you better let me come then because it seems you will need my help" she mewed flicking her ear in irritation.

"We nearly lost him" Stormwish joked, pretending Ghekoeyes wasn't there, before laughing and thanking the large Tom for coming.
"Now in the hot season, you'd never be able to catch a rabbit in the day, but in cool sands they will be out and about during the day." Stormtail looked at Poppypaw, remembering her kitlike behaviour. He didn't want her to be kicked and wounded by a rabbit. "We should start hunting lizards first, though. They'll be just coming up onto the rocks to sun themselves, and they'll still be slow since the sun is barely up. What do you think Ghekoeyes?"
He noted Shimmerwind coming with them. "Hi" he mewed shyly "umm, we were thinking of going hunting for lizards if you thought that was a good idea."

Geckoeyes called over his shoulder as he made his way towards the entrance, "well, then let's go already!" Shimmerwind got on his nerves pretty often, but he wasn't about to miss out on an extra set of claws for hunting.

Poppypaw sighed, she new she wouldn't be catching any rabbits for a while, but that doesn't mean she wasn't upset about it. "Okay, lizards it is."
Geckoeyes nodded. "Lizards would be out and about at this time. Let's not hunt on the sunning rocks though, it is too dangerous for an inexperienced cadet. Let's just head down to the oasis. We can also go after any small rodents that are waking up with the morning sun."

"Thats a good idea." Stormwish said, tail twitching. He tended to have more faith in Poppypaw than everyone else, but keeping her safe was more important that going to the sunning rock. He fell back to walk beside Shimmerwind.
(if you want your carrie to go hunting they can be together!)

Coyotecall laughed as his mother teased him. She was one of the only cats that could make him laugh. "I was just heading out, Mountainveil. I'll bring you back a plump lizard soon." he said, his deep voice rumbling. He bumped noses with his mother, then padded out of the camp, joining Poppypaw, Shimmerwing, Gheyoeyes, and his brother, following them as they headed to the oasis.

Wildspirit watched the group of hunters take off. She was beginning to feel the heat of the day as she sat on the outskirts of camp, but had no want to sleep. She was always awake and looking for something to do.
Mountainveil called after the tom who had just fled out of camp, after the group of hunters. "Bring something decent back, and make it snappy!" Her voiced echoed after her kit and a slight purr escaped her as she watched the hunting patrol left.
Geckoeyes nodded, happy for the agreeing opinion. The group of cats padded down and around the plateau, making their way through the barren landscape. It didn't take long, but by the time they neared the beautiful piece of land, the sun was just rising from the top edge of the horizon, and floating up into the sky. As they neared the Oasis, the sound of running water and the scent of wet earth filled Geckoeyes' lungs. His eyes lit up as the view of lush green plant-life filled his vision.

ShimmerWind --------------- ShimmerWind took a deep breath breathing in the cool earthy scent "I just love the oasis don't you guys do too?"

"I sure do, sis." Geckoeyes was more than ready to start hunting, his claws itched to dig into the loose dirt after a fleeing animal. The large toms eyes were darting around as the group reached the oasis.
Berrybranch had retreated into the Soldiers den for a bit of rest. His night of hunting had left him tired, but yielded little food for the clan. He was aggravated and figured and good bought of rest would perk his spirits.

Stormwish resisted the urge to run down into the oasis, as he answered Shimmerwinds question with an entusiastic "Yes!" He loved water for a desert cat, and likes swimming and the way the tree's surrounded him in the oasis. He kept a steady pace, however, and scented the air.
"I can smell a mouse down there, can you" Stormwish whispered to Poppypaw, flicking his tail at a nearby tree. "You should go get it."
Coyotecall stade at the back of the group. The oasis was a pretty place, but the hunting here wasn't his favorite, he preferred ambushing lizards and waiting outside rabbit burrows than being fenced in by the trees and hunting mice. Coyotecall had never liked the taste of mice, preferring lizards. Still, it was the apprentice, that much was clear. She was soldier age, and still following Stormwish around. He couldn't entirely blame her for being so daft, such a childlike kittypet should have been given to a tougher soldier. Stormwish was half a kit himself.

Poppypaw raised her head and scented the air, letting the warm breeze waft over her tongue. The scent of rodent pulled at her and she quickly stalked towards the prey, tail twitching lightly. The cadet was more than capable of hunting, but it was little mistakes that would hold her back. As she neared the mouse, and her eyes fell upon the little creature, its back turned to her, her pupils widened and her legs vibrated, ready to leap. And then, she did. She pounced on the mouse and tried to dispatch it quickly, but misplaced her aim. The little creature leapt away from the she-cat and she took chase, leaping at it again and finally, with an accidental blow, ended the little beast. She picked up her prey and looked at Stormwish, eyes sparkling, happily.
As the group made their way into the Oasis and Poppypaw stalked after her mouse, Geckoeyes called out to the group quietly, "Everyone, stay close, but spread out. Try to get as much as possible. Meet back here when the sun hits peak."
