Meg wasnβt really sure, she never taught anyone to fit. She wondered how the warriors train their own apprentices, maybe she should spy on their training sessions. βWe can start with a simple duck and swipe. I think striking first is more dangerous in battle. I prefer studying my opponent or just not fighting in general.β She sighed, βAnyways, letβs say I swiped at you like now-!β She swiped her paw at Sweetie, gently hitting her face. βYou can jump back, leaving me to probably fall to the ground. Or at least leave an opening for you to strike.β Sweetie blinked as the paw hit her nose, and she nodded. It looked easy enough. βOkay, do it again,β she said. This time she missed the swipe and tried to bat her paw at Meg, but didnβt quite reach. She looked up at Meg to see if at least the duck was good.

At Twigpaw's suggestion Bramblepaw brightened immediately, turning herself so she didn't have to look at Tumblepaw. "That sounds great! I've got a pretty good spot, but sometimes it gets a little chilly!" She purred, blinking warmly at Twigpaw. She stifled a mrrow of laughter at Twigpaw's statement about her brothers, glancing quickly over her shoulder in case they saw. She kind of wished she had brothers or sisters to joke around with, but she could still make lots of friends! βItβs alright, everyoneβs a little chilly now anyway,β she said with a purr, letting out a little shiver to prove her point. Seeing the air purr up around them was still weird. The calico bounced on her paws. βCβmon, show me the apprentice den!β She knew it wouldnβt be like the one back in camp, but she was still excited to see the one here.

Amberpaw followed his mentor's gaze around. The clearing was beyond crowded at this point. So many cats had just been apprenticed... "Have you ever been a mentor before?" he asked Cinderlight, feeling slightly unsure about the situation. He wasn't sure what to expect from her, but he never knew her as a harsh cat. Cinderlight shook her head. βNot yet,β she said, then noticed his unsure look and quickly added on, βBut Iβve been in GroveClan long enough to teach you everything you need.β She looked over at Rowanheart. βShould we show them as far as we can without hitting the deep mud?β The camp was hardly flooded anymore, but the ground around it was still soft and could be dangerous to walk on. The leaf-bare chill certainly wasnβt helping it dry.

Marigoldpaw's eyes dropped slightly, even though she did her best to try and hide her disappointment. "Oh...that's fine, don't worry about it!" she replied, trying to smile at her mentor as if it was nothing. "I'm just glad...to be able to learn..." She didn't think she knew Daisybug well enough as a mentor to be able to complete her sentence; 'I want to make up for what my mother did.' Daisybug sensed Marigoldpawβs disappointment and touched her tail to the apprenticeβs shoulder. βHow about you come make your nest in my den, and after we get something to eat Iβll take you to gather some herbs? Thereβs a few that grow just fine into leaf-bare.β She didnβt want to be out of camp yet, just in case the rogues arrived.

Tumblepaw pulled his slanted eyes away from Marigoldpaw, Skystar and Daisybug when his mentor addressed him. "Nothing...really new?" he replied. "Though the freedom and learning will be nice. My mother has been occupied with other things. Deerleg, Dreamwave, Bluepool...and my two littermates, to say the least..." Rowanheart blinked at his apprentice, a little taken aback at his nonchalance to his new status. Gah, when I became an apprentice I was itching out of my fur to get things going! I guess this group of kits has been through enough to be older than their actual moons.Feeling a bit awkward, Rowanheart perked up his head to think of where to go from here. βWell, Iβm sorry things have been a bit... busy.β He meowed, still looking around for a chance to change the subject. The tom really hadnβt expected to get into the nitty gritty of personal life with his apprentice just yet. Then, Cinderlight addressed him, giving him a perfect excuse to talk about something else. βWe canβt tour the whole territory, but itβs worth a shot.β He answered, nodding to the she-cat.

Bramblepaw bounded to her paws, trotting towards the makeshift den. She beckoned Twigpaw with a flick of her tail before entering. "It's nowhere near as nice as the one back at camp, but it's not so bad. It's a little cold near the edges though - there's a few gaps in it, I think," she informed the other apprentice, beaming. "My nest is here!" She pointed at a small nest about a tail-length away from where she stood, not really in the middle but not exactly on the edges either, "You can make yours in this space right next to it, if you want! There's definitely enough room!"

Marigoldpaw's smile raised a bit, as she nodded in reply to Daisybug. "Okay," she replied, getting to her paws. "Uhm, where would the moss be around here?" she asked, looking around camp as if she'd be able to find any. She wanted to go to the Moon Pool for sure, but the rest of the territory seemed like a scary challenge to her.

Quailwish got to her paws and gave her pelt a shake after she had listened to the remainder of the ceremony for the apprentices. She padded past her clanmates as she headed for the medicine den. I wonder if Cinderlight will feel a little less stressed about Russetpaw if she's got her own apprentice now? she thought, though she doubted it. Cinderlight would surely find time for him at any moment of the day. Once she saw the pelt of her apprentice on the den's floor, she sat in front of him. "How're you feeling today?" she asked.

Tumblepaw looked over to Amberpaw with uninterested eyes. Of course his mentor has to be the one to want to group up with MINE, he thought. Out of all of Whisperwing's kits, it was Amberpaw who annoyed Tumblepaw the most. Even Briarpaw was more tolerable! It irritated him how much Amberpaw thought he ran the show.

"Yeah, sure!" the little she-cat replied to Daisybug, stepping beside her and trotting towards the entrance of the make-shift camp. She stiffened a bit at the sight outside of camp; a path led down between trees with leaf buds poking from their limbs. It wasn't a threatening sight, but it was just so new. She looked back to Daisybug, waiting for her.

ALSO If you guys have any cats you don't rp much/want to kill off, I'm seeing a battle in the near future so that's your chance lol @fortunata : I know you wanted Rainsong to be killed off right? We can have her and Thunderfoot die together as siblings RIPP] (I already killed her at the flood. Oof I could bring her back to life to die again)

Daisybug followed Marigoldpaw to the entrance, then took the lead. βItβs a lot of territory to take in, hm?β she said as she gazed into the forest, then let out a sigh. Theyβd be home soon. βYouβll see some more of it when we gather herbs.β She flicked her tail for her apprentice to follow and lead her toward a tree bigger than the surrounding ones. βThis one makes the most moss, so I get it from here. You get it with your teeth, since your claws would shred it.β She leaned forward and slowly pulled a chunk off the tree, then put it on the ground. βLike that.β

Lol nah its fine I just didn't know RIP ;_;]
Marigoldpaw watched her mentor in admiration as she smoothly took the moss from the base of the tree. She had always relished the feeling of it in her own nest, but had never really put thought into how to gather it. "Is...there a special technique or something?" she asked sheepishly. She was unsure how to be as efficient as Daisybug.

[Lmao Hawkjawwwwww]
Skystar's cheerful expression collapsed when Hawkjaw mentioned Whisperwing. He turned his eyes to his deputy, eyes almost questioning. "That's a little insulting..." he replied. His tone was even, however, as he continued. "Whisperwing has nothing to do with Daisybug or medicine anymore. Marigoldpaw had approached me about it before... I thought I shouldn't say no if Daisybug was approving of it. I've gotten no warning from StarClan about it. As long as StarClan and Daisybug see no problems, then neither do I."
For a few moments, he considered telling the Clan about the rogues. "Though, what should I say to them? Be prepared to die... like Frostpaw? I don't want any of these mothers have to see the same fate befall their kits as well. If I can spare the bloodshed, then I will. Against my own pride, I'd prefer my family's safety." vocebuleryAlso since today is a Gathering, if we decide to have Skystar announce it, it seems fitting lol. At sunhigh right?]

Sheβd have to think back to when Whisperwing taught her. βHm... just make sure to pull gently and toward yourself,β she said, nodding to Marigoldpaw. ((Moss gathering is so vague in the books lol)) ((also yes itβs at sunhigh!))

Marigoldpaw nodded, gingerly tugging at the sheet of moss that lay along the base of the tree. It seemed like it took a whole moon to free it from the roots, but her ears dropped and she stomped a paw when she noticed several splinters littering the underside of the bundle. She mumbled under her breath and glanced at Daisybug, her ears heating up.

Cavernkit swatted at his father's tail as his sister slept beside him. He looked up at Softlight; his eyes seemed distant. After a moment of silence and a time of leaving the tail be, Cavernkit sat up, disturbing Fawnkit and making her groan lightly in protest. "Have you been feeling...okay?" Cavernkit asked, looking at him shyly.
At the voice of his kit, Softlight blinked and looked down at the tiny tom, a small smile spreading along his muzzle. "Yes, don't worry. I see Daisybug whenever I don't feel good, remember?" he replied softly, gently touching his son's nose with the end of his paw.
Cavernkit playfully batted back at his father's gesture, but he didn't fully believe his words. He considered talking to Daisybug once she returned with Marigoldpaw from the forest.

She mumbled under her breath and glanced at Daisybug, her ears heating up.
[Lol ikr xD Oki cool! Hi everyoneeeeeee] Daisybug held back a purr as she looked at the strip her apprentice pulled. βThatβs alright, Marigoldpaw,β she said. βJust a little practice is all. When I gathered moss the first time, I brought a spider with me by accident. Loudstep was not too happy with me.β She twitched her whiskers at the memory; perhaps the name Daisybug all made sense now. Then she nudged Marigoldpawβs paw with her own. βTry again.β ((I love that both of their names are flower names,,, itβs perfect)) ((also I went oof at the falcon thing too lol thatβs just the kinda guy cinderlight and palepaw attract))

Marigoldpaw stifled her laughter at the thought of the elderly tom being surprised by a spider in his nest, and in turn expressing his experience dramatically. "O-Okay," she replied, looking back to the roots and trying again. She grabbed a good section with her teeth, and walked backwards with it. She tried to guide it along with her, being careful around the splintered looking areas of the bark. Once she finished peeling it off, she studied her work. Only a few splinters were present this time, and she was able to pluck them out with ease. She pridefully looked to her mentor. "I did better!" she exclaimed.

Blackscale and Cinderlight are the overprotective parents, judging all the toms who have a crush on Palepaw. Blackscale: Thank Starclan Im blind so I donβt have to see you look like an idiot in front of Palepaw.)
