Brightblaze;; The stocky she-cat bared her teeth in the beginnings of a snarl, annoyed that her attempt to rile the siblings up had backfired. "There's no need." She hissed. She unsheathed her claws and began to work them into the dusty camp floor. She fought to keep her tail from twitching, desperate not to let the siblings know how much they'd riled her up. Bearpelt's jab at her training had nettled her; she'd prided herself on her skill, and hearing someone else say that she'd been neglected during her apprenticeship stung. "I'll be fine, thank you, Bearpelt." Brightblaze bent and began to tear at her meal, hoping to finish it quickly so she could leave.
Darkpaw;; He was in the middle of showing Frogpaw his hunting crouch when the other apprentices arrived. He bolted upright, embarrassed to have been caught off-guard. He was a hunter, for StarClan's sake. He was supposed to be aware of his surroundings at all times. "O-oh. G-good morning, Nightpaw, Pinepaw." The dark apprentice shuffled his paws in a pitiful attempt to hide his unease. It wasn't that he didn't like his denmates - he did his best to enjoy their company, even if he mostly just listened - but being caught off-guard did little for his confidence. Besides, now that there were four of them, they were sure to get rowdy. He was already missing the peace he had experienced only moments ago with Frogpaw.

- Rabbitwhisker & Bearpelt & Brightblaze - morning, in camp β πππ πππππ-πππππRabbitwhisker's ears flicked about in amusement as her glaze leapt from her petty brother to the irritated she-cat. She scoffed and settled down into a laying position, chest tucked neatly atop her paws. "Don't drag your claws through the dirt like that," she warned playfully, "they'll start to become ugly. You don't want that, right?" She tilted her head to the side to look at her brother. "You're a total jerk, you know that?" She mewed honestly, but with that same note of affection in her voice that assured she really didn't have a problem with the way Bearpelt behaved. - Frogpaw & Darkpaw & Nightpaw & Pinepaw - morning, just outside camp DingoleapFrogpaw struggled hard with the crouch. She just didn't have the balance or even the grace to not flail when she almost tilted. She was thankful when there came a set of crashing disturbances in the form of Pinepaw and... Nightpaw. She jolted into an upright position and twisted her neck to casually smooth down the fur on her back before finally facing the newcomers. "Good morning, Nightpaw," she greeted softly, "and--" Pinepaw. Why was Pinepaw with Nightpaw? She narrowed her eyes at the other she-cat. "Pinepaw," she finally finished.

Brightblaze;; The guard snapped her sharp gaze upwards, challenging Rabbitwhisker to meet her stare. Having devoured her meal - and giving herself a terrible case of indigestion - she rose calmly to her paws, scoring her claws through the dust once more, just to annoy her companions. "I suppose you know all about ruined claws, Rabbitwhisker." She said coldly. "I can tell you're just an expert on the subject." She forced herself into an exaggerated bow and bit back a sneer. Usually, she did all she could to avoid the other she-cat. Bearpelt was tolerable, as long as they were both on duty, but Rabbitwhisker had a way of getting under her skin. It's that smug smile of hers, she decided. She was glad their duties kept them from crossing paths too often.

[ I'm going to be trying out different post layouts so please bear with me in this time of stress lol~<3 just so y'all know, I have Grousestar, Scorpionheart, Tigerblossom, Crowfoot, and Honeykit open. also, if anyone would want to claim a mentor or two so we can get the apprentices' training under way, that'd be great. ]
Bearpelt w/ Rabbitwhisker & Brightblaze } -- in camp, morning; Ace , Dingoleap Bearpelt purred lightly in gross satisfaction as he saw how flustered Brightblaze became when his sister railed her. It took all the strength he had to not cackle at the younger she-cat's displeasure. He nodded as she left and then turned his gaze upon his lithe litter-mate. "You really know how to get under a cat's skin, Rabbitwhisker. I'm going to assume that you've picked it up from the best: me." The tall brown tom was only partially joking. As an apprentice, he had annoyed anyone and everyone that he could, including his father, mother, and mentor. He had eventually grown out of that phase but he still held onto some of those same characteristics. "You should probably get going, I bet Crowfoot is looking for you by now," he meowed gently before giving his sister an affectionate lick on the ear. Nightpaw & Pinepaw with Frogpaw & Darkpaw } -- in camp, morning; Ace , Dingoleap Even though Pinepaw and Nightpaw were still apprentices, Nightpaw being quite young, the pair were very mature. It had taken Pinepaw a while to learn that the clan didn't find bratty, arrogant apprentices amusing but once she had it all figured out, she changed her ways. Nightpaw, on the other hand, had always been very quiet, respectful, and well-behaved. Because of this, they were very unlikely to start any rough-housing - but nothing could be said if someone else started the rough-housing. Glancing at Frogpaw and then Darkpaw, Nightpaw nodded his head curtly in greeting and sat down, wrapping his long tail around his paws. He hadn't gotten well-acquainted with either of the other cats yet, seeing as they were both from different groups, so he wasn't very open to talking with them. Pinepaw felt quite the opposite. "What are we doing over here?" the small blue she-cat asked snidely as she sniffed near the water for any signs of mischief.

scorpionheart | morning, in camp, w/ doespot -- inky Scorpionheart woke up to the sounds of her clanmates beginning to stir in camp below her, their voices floating up and softly dragging her out of her sleep. Lazily, the compact calico stood - careful not to disturb Tigerblossom, who was one of the cats that slept on Scorpionheart's ledge - and arched her back. As per usual, she felt a burning need to get the day started as soon as possible when she realized the sun had already broken the horizon.
Shaking the slumber from her brain, she looked out over the camp with observant green eyes and saw that no full-fledged scout, besides herself, was awake. Scorpionheart didn't blame Stonesky for not being awake yet - she had spoken with Grousestar and the Leader's Council nearly the entire night before finally retiring to her nest. She decided to not bother the head scout and let her catch up on some much needed sleep. With a sigh, Scorpionheart leaped down to a ledge that was nearer to the heart of camp and inhabited by Doespot.
"Stonesky isn't awake to assign patrols, so I thought we should get started on our own," she meowed quietly as the younger she-cat began to wake up. "I want to let her sleep for a while - she was with the Leader's Council all night." coding by officialrainleafwcf

Doespot ; Camp w/ Scorpionheart The small white she-cat woke shortly before dawn and she was careful to not step on anyone as she exited the den to sit close to the middle of camp. It was still dark outside so her eyes didn't have to adjust much when she exited. Still waking up she began grooming her fur, keeping to herself as slowly her clanmates began waking up. Doespot wasn't really a morning cat, but her body was. The she-cat very rarely slept past dawn. She ran her tongue over her paw a few times before swiping it over her ears.
When she was done with her morning routine she looked around for the familiar face of the Head Scout. Stonesky was no where to be seen and Doespot couldn't remember if she had seen the older she-cat when she left the den or not. The sudden sound from behind her startled Doespot causing her to jump a bit, she still wasn't awake as the sun began to rise over the horizon. "You scared me." She mewed softly with a small laugh as she turned to face Scorpionheart. "That explains why she isn't already up. I agree we should get started without her. Stonesky needs some rest." She nodded, it was always hard to get up in the morning after being up late and Skystone had a lot on her paws so it was a well deserved rest. "I think we should go to the western boarders and check those out first, would that be good?" Doespot trusted the older cats judgement more than her own, even though the two were friends she was still a bit timid.

[Sorry I haven't been able to respond before now! Been super busy today! I've got Jaytail open, too, if we need another cat for anything.]
Darkpaw;; "Oh, nothing m-much," the young tom stammered. Pinepaw was another apprentice whose seemingly boundless energy intimidated him, much like Frogpaw did whenever she was excited. It was hard sometimes, lacking the confidence to form close bonds with his fellow apprentices. Nightpaw, on the other hand, was much calmer. He certainly found Nightpaw easier to be around, but as of late, he was finding Pinepaw more approachable. It was, he decided, the unlikely friendship between the two young cats. They did seem incredibly close... "I-I was showing Frogpaw m-my hunting crouch. She was, um, interested in learning s-some basics." He hoped he wouldn't be asked to demonstrate any further. Instructing Frogpaw was hard enough. He didn't want to make a mistake in front of three of his denotes. He'd never be able to live it down. Just the thought of it began to stress him. Ordering himself to calm down, he hurried back over to the pool and gulped water in an attempt to hide his embarrassment. Hopefully he wouldn't have to answer any more questions if his mouth was full of water.

scorpionheart | morning, in camp, w/ doespot -- inky The calico she-cat purred in amusement as she saw surprise ripple over Doespot's face. It was obvious she still had some of her apprentice nerves left in her although she had been made a warrior twelve moons ago. "You'll get over your fear of senior warriors, such as myself," Scorpionheart joked. "It just takes a bit to get used to the new warrior life - but you're doing just fine, otherwise Stonesky wouldn't put you on as many patrols as she does." Scorpionheart quickly groomed herself as she listened to the younger scout's input. It was always so interesting to see how arrogant apprentices became self-doubting warriors.
"Is it good? You tell me." Scorpionheart definitely wasn't the type of cat to give inexperienced warriors opportunities to take the lead but she had soft spot for the brown-spotted she-cat. Doespot had been Scorpionheart's own apprentice and seeing her struggle during her apprenticeship had made Scorpionheart more receptive to her thoughts and feelings. "If we patrol the western border, can go the Dead Forest and head down to the Great Arch, or we could go the opposite way. We could also stop in the Grasslands no matter which way we go and relax for a while - even Gammu couldn't run the western border without a break."

[Aw yes. Maximum awkwardness coming up!]
Jaytail;; Mornings were Jaytail's favourite time of day. He loved watching the camp wake, watching his classmates slowly stretch and wake, their movements quickening as they shed their exhaustion. The young tom was, as always, eager to begin the days' tasks. He'd had enough of sitting around and waiting. True, he loved observing, but his love of doing eclipsed any desire to sit around and wait, so when he overheard the words patrol and Western Border spoken in the same sentence, the hurried forward. "Good morning, Scorpionheart, Doestop." He purred, stopping in between the two she-cats, oblivious to the fact that he'd interrupted their conversation. While the blue tom had good intentions, the easygoing side of him whispered that it whatever he was interrupting probably hadn't been that important. "I heard you mention the morning patrols, and I thought I'd join you, offer up my services and the like. If we run into any trouble, you'll find I can be very heroic. I might even offer myself up as a sacrifice so the two of you can skedaddle back to camp and raise the alarm." He offered the she-cats a crooked grin and waited for a response to what he thought was a very clever statement. Jaytail, in fact, often thought that the things Jaytail said were very funny and immensely clever. His clanmates, however, very rarely seemed to be of the same mind. Unfortunately, the scout didn't seem to be ready to give up.

scorpionheart | morning, in camp w/ doespot (inky ) & jaytail (Dingoleap ) As soon as Scorpionheart spotted a blur of blue in her peripheral vision, she rolled her eyes and groaned. Jaytail. The young warrior was, by all means, a phenomenal scout - when he put his mind to working instead of playing and joking. However, most of the time he decided to shirk his duties and mess around with his fellow warriors, none of whom were appreciative of the comedic relief. Scorpionheart was the least appreciative by far and as she heard what the young tom had to say, her anger began to rise and rise until, finally, she let out a hiss. Being around Doespot made the small calico she-cat seem soft and caring but around any other cat, she was a ball of furious, spitting flames. With no warning except pinning her ears and hissing again, Scorpionheart reared up and cuffed Jaytail on the ear, claws unsheathed. "Even if we did get into trouble, we wouldn't need you to save us! Unless you forget that I am older and more experienced than you and have fought actual enemies, not just other apprentices with sheathed claws!" Scorpionheart spat as the fur along her spine rippled.

Jaytail;; The blue tom jerked backwards, one ear stinging from the force of Scorpionheartβs blow. He had, it seemed, severely underestimated the situation. Heβd mistaken Scorpionheartβs mood - not for the first time - but hadnβt expected the She-Cat to physically react. Evidently, he needed to practice reading the situation. βWoah. Ok, Scorpionheart. Iβm sorry.β He attempted to appease the older scout. Even with sheathed claws, she was a fierce opponent, and Jaytail had no desire to see his other war clawed. βI just thought it might be nice to patrol with you both, but I guess youβre in the middle of something...β He trailed off, a little worried that he might escalate the situation. Even someone as easygoing as Jaytail could sense Scorpionheartβs building annoyance, and she was right. The older scout could best Jaytail in combat nine times out of ten.

(Sorry about taking so long! I went to my boyfriends birthday dinner) Doespot ; Camp w/ Scorpionheart & Jaytail
The young scout laughed a bit at Scorpionheart's joke, she had always know the older warrior this way since she was six moons old. Well, at first she was just as cold as she was to any other cat but halfway into her apprenticeship the other she-cat had changed and was much nicer and more gentle with Doespot. The compliment caught her off guard though and embarrassment spread throughout the young scout. Somehow Scorpionheart had a way of doing that making her more nervous than any other cat. It was weird because when she was close to someone it was usually harder to make her jittery. "I-I mean I guess that makes sense.." She mewed shifting her paws a bit.
Was it good? Now she was doubting her choice. As the she-cat contiued talking going on about the places they could go if they hit the western boarder she felt herself relax a bit. "The Dead Forest to the Arch would be the best use of our time I think." She nodded a bit feeling a bit more confident after the compliment and that Scorpionheart hadn't shot down the idea of that boarder all together. Her eyes focused on something behind Scorpionheart. It was Jaytail. The only reason that worried her was because she knew how the older warrior felt about the tom. It wasn't like she hated him but she knew the tom bugged her. His comment shocked her even, like they couldn't handle themselves. "Or your jokes could scare them away." She mewed, it was more to herself than anything, almost not loud enough for him to hear but her whiskers twitched gently as she meant it as a light-hearted jab.
Scorpionheart's sudden outburst hadn't surprised her, with a comment like that he had it coming. Had he never spoken to the multi-colored cat before? What a mouse-brain. "Well I mean as long as you stay out of Scorpionheart's swiping distance maybe a third set of eyes would be good?" Her attention turned Scorpionheart, she was trying to be nice to the tom since he almost got his ears clawed off. Plus, the older cat took her opinion in consideration more than anyone else their age.

[No worries!]
Jaytail;; Jaytail was incredibly relieved when Doespot cut in, even if she was quietly suggesting that his jokes were terrible. She wasn't as fierce as Scorpionheart, and certainly less likely to cuff him about the ears. He was glad to spot hr whiskers twitching - he'd managed to provide her with some comic relief, at least, even if it wasn't the kind he was intending. He subtly slid away from Scorpionheart, stepping closer to Doespot. He pressed one paw to his stinging ear; a single drop of bright blood had beaded at the tip, but the bleeding had already stopped. Nothing to worry about, provided he could keep on Scorpionheart's good side. "I promise to keep my mouth shut." He murmured, keeping a careful eye on Scorpionheart. He knew he'd been foolish - it wasn't the first time an ill-timed jest had put him on Scorpionheart's bad side - and he quietly hoped it hadn't cost him the patrol. He did want to stretch his legs in the early morning air. Contrary to certain cats opinions, he did take pride in his duties as a scout, despite the occasional - ok, maybe more than occasional - mishap with his sense of humour. "Well, only if Scorpionheart agrees." He'd say he didn't want to interrupt their morning, but evidently is was far too late for that. All he could do was try to appease the multicoloured she-cat.
[Jaytail is having a very bad morning XD ]

scorpionheart | morning, in camp w/ doespot (inky ) & jaytail (Dingoleap ) Scorpionheart's whiskers twitched along with Doespot's as she heard her make a snide comment under her breath. She had definitely been Scorpioneart's apprentice.
Hearing Doespot agree to allow Jaytail on the patrol as long as she also agreed to it, Scorpionheart let out a small huff of breath and lashed her tail. As an older warrior she knew that it was generally frowned upon to go out on a scouting patrol with only two warriors but, as an older warrior, she also felt that she and Doespot would've been able to fend for themselves just fine. That being said, she still didn't want word getting back to Stonesky that she had gone out with only one other scout and no guard.
"Fine," she hissed impatiently. "But if we're bringing you, go get Cedarpaw or Pinepaw. Might as well make the numbers even."
