Needlepaw held back a snarky comment about his lack of praise. She was proud of that catch, and he just said, another. Her head tilted when he pointed his chin in the direction of the bordering clan. "Wha? You want me to hunt over the border?" She asked.

Nighthawk didn't reply right away. He knew his sister would kill him where he stood if she knew about it, but he personally felt that those Breezeclan cats wouldn't ache too bad if they took one of their hares... "Hare," he finally said. "Its much faster than a squirrel. I want to see you catch one."

Rivermoth hung to the side of Droppaw before moving up to a slightly higher branch. She crouched on the branch, ready to grab the apprentice if he were to fall. "Just slowly move, there's no need to rush." She meowed to the apprentice knowing how scared he was about falling. Her eyes darted to Thornfang as he sent a bird up for Droppaw to try and catch.

Droppaw nodded, pulling his weight up the tree. He saw a finch perch itself on a low branch. Eyes wide with determination, he slid himself up the tree a bit faster. He felt his claws almost move on their own; all he could think about was catching that bird, making his mentor proud... Droppaw didn't notice that his next foothold was a completely shaven down piece of the bark. Instead of his claws digging into the tree, they just slid off and he was jolted out of his concentration by the sudden sensation that he was about to fall.

Needlepaw blinked incredulously, silently begging the question, what would Poppystar say? Not that she cared for borders much herself. She would just rather not get into trouble unless she decided to get in trouble herself. She didn't like the idea of being punished for something her mentor told her to do. "We don't get hares that much in Mapleclan territory, why do I need to know how to catch one?" She challenged, sitting down to further emphasize her refusal.

Seeing that his apprentice was slipping from the branch, Thornfang's eyes widened, and he darted under the branch to catch Droppaw's fall, instinctively protective of the young tom. Having lost the sight in one of his eyes by a tree, he wasn't ready to see another cat injured by one as well.

Nighthawk grimaced, not taking kindly to having his motives questioned. He remained steadfast with his chin high. "Because if you can catch a hare, then you can catch anything in Mapleclan territory," he replied. A hare was much more advanced than a squirrel or a mouse, just by the speed alone. If she could catch one, then it proved to the smoky tom that she could catch anything. "I'm training you to be the best warrior you can be. Even better than your peers. Do you not want that?"

Droppaw yowled fearfully as he slipped down the branch, his claws instinctively locking themselves into the branch again. He managed to grab himself again just whiskers away from Thornfang. Shaking, he looked over his shoulder at his mentor. "I'm, sorry..." he mewed, a whimper beginning to form itself in his voice. His fur burned with embarrassment and shame. The finch had flew away by now, obviously spooked by the apprentice's kittish cry.

Needlepaw paused. It was hard to argue with the idea of being the best she could be. She mulled it over in her mind for a moment before nodding. "...Okay." She meowed, and she rose back onto her paws. Lifting her narrow muzzle toward the air to scent for Breezeclan cats as she padded on light paws toward the border, she was relieved to note that any scent of the bordering clan cats was stale. She crept over the border and slid into the tall, wispy grass that was distinct to the neighboring clan, her senses alert for any signs of the fast prey. She wondered if Nighthawk was following and watching her while she searched out any hare scent.
Thornfang sighed in relief to see Droppaw catch himself, meeting his apprentice's eye. He felt a pang of sympathy for the frightened apprentice, his expression softening. "Don't worry, it was just one finch." He rumbled gently. "Why don't we take a break on this, and you can show me how your mouse hunting is going before we try again?" He suggested.

Jasminepaw ;; { 🌴𝒎𝒊𝒂𝒎𝒊 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔🌴 - mapleclan camp }
Dismay washed over the apprentice at Poppystar's furrowed brow. Great, now she had the leader concerned about her. Jasminepaw whimpered inwardly; she should've stayed in the den and waited for Sagegaze to awake. The cream-furred feline forced a smile in return to Poppystar's before glancing down at her food.
"Well, firstly, eat this mouse," she purred with half-hearted amusement. "Then wait for Sagegaze to wake up. I might busy myself while I do, but I'm not quite sure how yet."

𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓵𝔂 𝓬𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓭𝔂Poppystar nodded. She didn't suspect Jasminepaw was hiding anything malicious from her, so there was no reason to be overly aggressive with her questioning. After all, she was an honorable medicine cat in-training, and she actually held some respect for the young one. "How about you take a walk? Maybe gather some herbs while you're out? I'm sure Sagegaze wouldn't oppose to you doing your job, would she?" the calico she-cat allowed some humor to spill out, hoping it'd calm the somewhat tense mood she'd built. "I'll have one of the warriors accompany you." Medicine cat apprentice or not, Jasminepaw was still an apprentice, and thus would not be allowed to venture out of camp by herself. "Perhaps...Mintleaves." She spotted the she-cat from afar, looking particularly unoccupied.
(( I'm changing Mintgaze's name to Mintleaves, sine I own her now.))

The smoky warrior hung back at the edge of Mapleclan's territory, perching himself up on a secluded treebranch to watch. He didn't doubt Needlepaw's capabilities, but he still wanted to observe her in case she was unaware enough to get herself caught by a Breezeclan patrol--that was the real test. Nighthawk squinted his beady orange eyes and scanned the moor. Slight concern struck him when he spotted a Breezeclan warrior and apprentice travelling across the plains. He glanced from them, to Needlepaw; they were some ways away from her, but if she didn't pay attention to her surroundings and brought too much attention to herself, they'd undoubtedly spot her.
(( this is the debut of my new breezeclan warrior Swiftwater, I was thinking he could be Cricketpaw's mentor? ))

(Sure! ) Needlepaw slowed her pace in the tall grass to listen as she thought she heard the sifting of something in the grass. As she waited and scented for either prey or rival clan, she opened her mouth to drink in the air. She tried to keep the vague anxiety she felt about being in rival territory down to hide her own fear scent. It was mouse. She shook her head. It wasn't any good chasing after more prey than needed. She kept padding onward until a gust of wind carried the scent of Breezeclan cats, instantly making her fur stand up. She lifted her head to turn her nose in the direction the scent was coming from, panic striking her. What if she was caught? She tried to calm herself down by reminding herself that they were upwind. Feeling secure in her hidden scent, she made to dart back toward Mapleclan territory, so determined to escape that she didn't try to move in a way that masked her movement in the grass.

"Now Cricketpaw, we want to keep our pawsteps soft when we're walking on the moor. That way the prey will less likely hear us coming," a silver dappled tabby whispered to his apprentice. "Not that it'd be a big deal if they did. We're Breezeclan cats, which means we can outrun anything and everything." The tom grinned. Swiftwater always enjoyed bringing the small tom out for hunting practice; it made him feel really proud to be a mentor. "You also want to always be on alert. That means your ears," Swiftwater swiveled and flicked his ears, listening intently across the territory. "..and your nose." He raised his snout to the air and took a deep breath. Then suddenly, his eyes lit up in alarm. A scent that should not be there. "Cricketpaw. Tell me what you smell."

Cricketpaw listened to what his mentor was telling him with wide eyes, trying to remember everything he was being told. The slightly round apprentice echoed what Swiftwater had said, copying his actions as well. "Ears," He mewed as he swiveled his ears around, "And nose." He added as he took a deep breath. His nose wrinkled at the scent of another cat, a completely unfamiliar type of scent on them. "That smells like a cat. Is that Mapleclan?" He asked.

"Correct," Swiftwater replied, lowering his body to only peak above the grass. He spotted the grass sifting several foxlengths away, and figured that the intruder was nearby. "Those squirrel-bellies are always preaching about the warrior code, and yet we constantly catch them stealing our rabbits!" The silver tabby hissed, ears pinned. He glanced at Cricketpaw. "Just stay quiet at my tail, Cricketpaw, and don't do anything stupid, OK? I'm gonna give this thief a piece of my mind." After instructing his apprentice, Swiftwater slunk away quickly through the grass. Like nearly all Breezeclan cats, the tom had lots of experience stalking prey through the grass, so his pawsteps were rather silent.

Nighthawk was already on his way down the great elm he'd scaled. He gritted his teeth with annoyance at his apprentice's incompetence. Leaping down upon the grass, he made quick strides towards Needlepaw, determined to reach her before the opposing clancats did first. "Needlepaw!" he hissed lowly, trying to find her scent among the grass. It was rather difficult, as the strong wheat and barley scent overpowered his nostrils.

Don't do anything stupid. Stay serious. Cricketpaw echoed in his mind as he bounced after his mentor, mostly feeling curious to see a cat from another clan. He hadn't been to a gathering yet, so he wondered what the other clans must be like. He stifled an excited mew that wanted to escape from his throat.
Smelling the Breezeclan scent growing stronger, Needlepaw could no longer hide her fear scent. She darted make it in the final stretch of the territory before being able to cross into the safety of her own clan's territory, running at her full speed.

Fawndance was laying near the warrior's den. Being that she hadn't been sent on a patrol, she decided that she was going to relax. She felt strange just laying and doing nothing. Despite the fact that she had been trying to relax, she was beginning to feel a tad bit anxious. She felt useless just sitting around like this. She quickly got up to her feet and scanned around the camp to see if there were any viable cats walking around. Perhaps she could go hunting, or patrolling.

Stagleap was nearby, mirroring his sister's anxious feeling. He woke up early -too early to go out hunting without being attacked by a fox -but then, when cats started leaving camp to go hunting and patrolling, he hadn't asked to join any of them, but obviously didn't want to go alone; what if he got bitten by a snake and died? Instead, he staked out his sister Fawndance, and quickly ran towards her as soon as he spotted her. "Fawndance! I'm glad you're here. You have to go hunting with me!" Stagleap meowed urgently. "I've been awake since sunrise, but I didn't want to hunt, just in case a snake bit me."

👻videocassette👻Swiftwater spotted a furry grey she-cat just pawsteps away, looking frantic and lost among the unfamiliar territory. He smirked, pouncing forward and bowling the she-cat over with much ferocity. He pinned her down on the ground by her back, claws unsheathed into her shoulderblades. "And what do we have here, Cricketpaw? A little Mapleclan squirrel trying to steal our prey," he hissed, tail lashing. His ears twitched as he could hear another cat shuffling in the grass some ways away, but they also appeared lost.

Nighthawk perked his ears as he heard an unfamiliar voice hiss. He growled lowly, following the sound with large footfalls. Spotting a dappled tom pinning his apprentice, he yowled furiously and leaped forward, crashing into Swiftwater. He bit into the tomcat's ear, thrashing his head furiously so he could tear off a bit of the cartilage, all the while cradled around his back and raking his back claws down his flanks.

Needlepaw caterwauled in fear when Swiftwater pinned her down, and she struggled underneath his claws as she tried to kick his legs out from underneath him. "It- it's not my fault! Nighthawk made me do it! I didn't want to!" She squealed like a kit. She scrambled to her paws the moment her mentor crashed the Breezeclan tom off of her, her back arched. The round, dark brown tabby apprentice of the opposing clan cat threw himself at her, an exaggerated snarl on his face, but he was smaller than her and she was able to avoid his leap and she bowled him over with the strike of her paw, keeping her claws sheathed as she didn't have the heart to hurt such a young apprentice.

( sorry for the sudden absence; school has been hectic :') )
Jasminepaw ;; { 🌴𝒎𝒊𝒂𝒎𝒊 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔🌴 - mapleclan camp } The she-cat fell into a thoughtful silence at the older feline's suggestion. A walk sounded nice... and she could distract herself from boredom while she awaited her mentor. Jasminepaw was a little surprised when Poppystar allowed herself some humor, unused to the serious she-cat making jokes. "No, I suppose she wouldn't," she laughed along, seeming more genuine now. She was a little disappointed when the leader ordered Mintleaves to accompany her, but didn't complain. Medicine cat apprentice or not, Jasminepaw was not old enough to go into the territory alone. Though she understood why, it was a little frustrating since the small feline wanted some alone time.
"Sounds fine to me," the apprentice agreed, following Poppystar's gaze to Mintleaves. Jasminepaw didn't quite know the she-cat, so she had no real opinion of her. The feline's eyes drifted back to her prey, longing to eat but not wanting to appear rude.
