"Come on, then." Sorrelpatch meowed, slightly excited to actually have some authority over the apprentices. Just another great part about being a warrior. She herded the two apprentices in the direction towards Nightclan camp, her tail held high. "You're lucky we found you before anyone else could!"
"Anyone?" Icepaw asked, glancing back toward Sorrelpatch with curious eyes, but he didn't stop her from herding him onward.

"Any other warrior might have been enraged, but we are clearly much calmer for now." or something shorttail just let her mouth run for a while. Maskedpaw sighed, she didn't say much, still upset with herself and Icepaw. How could she have been so stupid?

Icepaw rolled his eyes, just hoping he wouldn't end up in too much trouble when he was brought home. "Listen, we only wanted to get some extra hunting in." He growled quietly, as a last-ditch effort. As soon as the four made it back to camp, he looked around for any sign of Stormsong. Thankfully, though, it looked as though the deputy was out on patrol. "Say, why don't you just give us elder duty and be done with it?" He suggested.
Sorrelpatch narrowed her eyes and exchanged a glance with Shorttail. "Well, your mentors may not be here right now, but Longstar is." She meowed, barely suppressing her glee as her gaze turned toward the large golden-brown tom dozing off by the leader's and elders' den.

Maskedpaw huffed. Great. She knew it! She knew it! She's gotten into trouble now and her apprentice training is going to be longer now all because Icepaw couldn't just sit around in camp. Okay, sure she had some part ot blame for going along but what else was she to do.

Sorrelpatch trotted confidently over to Longstar, but her confidence died off the closer she came to the leader. She slowed to a stop a tail-length from him before clearing her throat. "Longstar?" She asked.
Longstar lifted his head, and sat up to look upon the two apprentices with Shorttail. His eyes narrowed, already sensing that the apprentices must have been getting into trouble. "Yes?"
"We caught these two sneaking out on their own." Sorrelpatch explained, flicking her tail towards Icepaw and Maskedpaw.
Longstar nodded, and he flicked his tail to beckon the apprentices over to him, not bothering to stand up. "Come over here, then." He called.

Maskedpaw quietly walked over to the leader. She was upset still and that much was clearly evident on her face. She wouldn't go anywhere with Icepaw now. She should probably just start ignoring him!
((I kinda wanna drop cedarpaw in after this lol))

(Do ittt, I was thinking of getting him involved somehow too xD)
Icepaw padded over as well, not regretting his escapade, but eager to get his punishment over with. He solemnly watched the leader with hopes of reading the large tom, but Longstar kept a blank expression as he looked upon the two apprentices.
Longstar let out a long sigh before meowing, "Icepaw, I know you were out running around so you didn't have to do your job getting the fleas off of Beaverheart's pelt. He's been complaining about the fleas all day when I told Stormsong to get an apprentice to take care of it. Now, I want you to remove those ticks, and clean out his bedding. You'll take care of all his needs for the next moon, by the way." He growled
"What?" Icepaw protested, suddenly alive with remorse, "All on my own? Come on, that's work for new apprentices!" He complained, but with a fierce glare and a warning growl from the leader, he was on his paws. "Fine..."
After Icepaw stalked off to get mouse bile from the medicine den, Longstar settled back down with his paws tucked underneath himself, the tom's hardened expression softening a little as he looked at Maskedpaw. "Why were you out there with him?" He asked.

She shifted "I don't know. He was bored and he told me we wouldn't get caught. I guess I kinda also wanted to make sure he didn't go alone and get himself injured or something." the she-cat shrugs, daring to make eye contact with her leader for a moment.
Speaking of the medicine cat's den, Cedarpaw was currently organizing the herbs, his tail low to the floor. He was acting just as 'angst' driven as typical so nothing really new was happening for him at the moment it seemed.

A low purr rumbled in Longstar's throat, which emerged as a small laugh. "Well, if he got injured it would have been on his own pelt," He pointed out. He could tell Maskedpaw had not wanted to get dragged in with Icepaw's troublemaking, so he wasn't going to be nearly as hard on her. "You're a good clanmate, wanting to keep an eye on a troublemaker like that. Nightclan needs warriors who will watch over their clanmates just as much as it needs strong fighters."
Icepaw peered into one end of the medicine den, and he saw the medicine cat apprentice sorting his herbs. "Hey, Cedarpaw!" He called, his tail flicking back and forth with anger that he had to tend to the clan elder for a whole moon, like he was barely an apprentice.

"Oh..great." he mumbles turning to look at Icepaw "Hello Icepaw, what do you need?" he grumbles a bit, sitting down in his place and grooming his paw as to have something to do. Cedarpaw hadn't ever particularly liked Icepaw and it was pretty clear as to why. It actually kind of puzzled him as to why anyone would like Icepaw.
Maskedpaw smiles "Thank you, Longstar." the apprentice says in appreciation of her leader understanding her. Part of her wondered if this meant she had no punishment, however she knew better than that.

"I need mouse bile..." Icepaw replied, his nose wrinkling in disgust at just the thought of the bitter-tasting substance. "Longstar is giving me elder duty." He huffed. As much as he didn't like to interact with Cedarpaw, he was ready to vent on just about anyone... And maybe he could get a little bit of help if he played it right...
Longstar smiled back at her, and then tilted his head after a moment. "Now... As for you." He prefaced. He felt as though an apprentice like Maskedpaw would take getting in trouble with the leader as punishment enough, but he always liked to give a little more than necessary for good measure. "Didn't see either of you exit through the clan entrance, and knowing how I was in my own apprentice years... If there is a hole in our briar wall that a cat can get through, I would like you to fix it. Ask a warrior for help if you need it."

Maskedpaw took up no problem with that. It could also ensure that the other apprentices or maybe even some future kits didn't get themselves into trouble. a little happier now, Maskedpaw picks herself up, thanking the leader one more time and made her way to the spot behind the medicine cat's den.
Cedarpaw almost laughed, it wound up as a scoff if anything "Wow, what'd you do this time?" he asked as he picked up a bit of mouse bile, dropping it at Icepaw's feet. He'd become accustomed to the taste, mostly his tongue had become dulled by it, just barely to taste much else of anything.

Icepaw glared at Cedarpaw at the sound of him scoffing. His fur stood up a little on his shoulders. "Assuming I did do something, maybe he just gave it to me as a regular duty, ever think of that, bee-brain?" He retorted, trying to ignore the way the smell of the bile made a lump rise in his throat.

"Sure, because it's an everyday occurrence for the leader to have to tell you to go do something I think a younger apprentice would be doing." his voice is dipped in sarcasm. Cedarpaw knew from other apprentices that cleaning off an elder wasn't something an older apprentice did let alone had to be told to do by the clan leader.
((Pfft.))

"Yeah, well I think dipping out of warrior training to collect herbs is something a mouseheart would be doing!" Icepaw impulsively spat, his ears flushed deep red at Cedarpaw's quick and correct conclusion about why Icepaw was cleaning ticks off the elder.

"At least I'm being beneficial to my clan." he quips to the other, going back to his herb organization. He was just a bit proud of himself and his quick remarks on Icepaw.
Meanwhile, after she'd patched up the hole, Maskedpaw could hear Cedarpaw and Icepaw in the den. Mainly Icepaw, he could tend to be pretty loud in her opinion. Slowly she peeked around the entrance.

"A warrior is beneficial to the clan! I'm going to fight for our clan and our honor, as good as Longstar and Stormsong!" Icepaw puffed, leaving his mouse bile abandoned now that he was determined to get the upper paw with Cedarpaw.

"Well you sure aren't doing anything getting yourself into trouble and arguing with a 'mouseheart' like me." he smiles smugly looking back to Icepaw, spotting Maskedpaw from the corner of his eye but not addressing her. She can eavesdrop all she wants.

(Hi guys, I am so sorry that I haven’t been on recently. Things have been very hectic since we moved, and I’ve been very busy with school and my school’s show, and then with Thanksgiving, and now finals coming up. Honestly, I just haven’t really had as much time or energy to devote to my Clans as I would like. I will try to get on, but I can’t really make any promises for the next couple of weeks, until the semester ends. I’m really sorry. I do promise I haven’t forgotten about you guys and I will come back when I can.)

Yea, hopefully the over time calms down soon. It's pretty hectic at work, and even though we shut down for a week between the weekend before christmas and new year's day, I might have to work during that time, depending on numbers. So who knows.))
