Paleflight ๐น๐ช๐ป๐ฝ๐ต๐ ๐ฌ๐ต๐ธ๐พ๐ญ๐Paleflight tilted his head at her odd reaction of him touching her and he sighed. He had to remember that the she-cat wasn't born in the clan and that she had ran away from a bad experience. He didn't know much about her past, but he knew that it wasn't a pleasant story. Perhaps he could ask her, though he figured he should wait a bit before that. โLetโs head towards the top of the territory; we may be able to find some rabbits up there if you're up for a little chase.โ He felt like he could be himself with Cinderrose and he wondered how she would take to him teasing her as he did with his sisters. He smiled fondly at the memories as he started to head towards the camp entrance. He supposed that the only way he would find out how she would react was to just try it out on her. However, he did hope that he wouldn't scare her off. He wanted this to work; no one wished for a bad pairing and if he was stuck with her for life, he at least wanted to like her. Applecloud DawnmossApplecloud dipped her head in acknowledgement to Violetleaf's words. โThatโs true, I suppose. A clan's work is never done, so why shouldn't we get an early start?โ Applecloud silently scolded herself for sleeping late as she irritability flicked her tail to the side. It was the only sign that she was annoyed with herself; for she knew that she must act calm and collected as would be expected of her. โI don't suppose you'd mind going on a border patrol with me? We can check the scent marks and then do a bit more hunting if that sounds alright,โ She suggested. She felt like she needed to make up for her obvious laziness and the best way she knew how was to make sure she worked extra hard. Skypaw
VenomSkypaw let out a groan as he felt the rough hand of a twoleg scratch his head, waking him from his sleep. He picked up his head and meowed at the creature, unhappy that it woke up up. โStupid twolegsโ He thought to himself. ' They're no better than kits.โ Rising from his soft bed, he moved over to the bowl where they poured out the hard pellets of food for him. It wasn't anything like fresh-kill, but it did keep him full. Upon reaching the bowl he sniffed at the food and recoiled. It didn't smell like the usual food they used. He wondered if the pellets had been sick before they died, but whatever the reason; he was not eating them. He turned and gazed up at the twoleg who was watching him and meowed, rubbing up against his leg. It would seem that he would have to catch his own breakfast this morning, so he would need to be let out of the nest. After a few coaching mews, the twoleg finally understood what he wanted and let him out. Racing out the door, Skypaw jumped up the fence and turned to look back at the twoleg home before jumping down onto the other side. The farm around him was nice, and he could catch a few mice there. But what he really wanted was to taste the wildness of the forest in his food and he wouldn't get that from the farm mice. So Skypaw made his way back towards the place he was born, to the territory he knew like it was his own name, to the home that he was forced to leave because of the rules he didn't want to obey. He just hoped that he wouldn't run into anyone as he padded towards Darkpines.

Crossing over Stonebridge, Skypaw crouched low as he reached the other side, his ears pricked for any noise. He heard the sound of a laughing cat and he frowned as he sniffed the air. If it were his brother or his sisters, he would have had no fear of padding out to say hello. But none of his siblings sounded like that, so he knew he had to tread carefully. 'Azurepawโ, he thought as he recognized the scent of a she-cat who had been an apprentice for a short period of time with him. Though he figured that she was probably a warrior now since she was only a few moons younger than him. He slowly crept out from the bridge, wondering how close she was and thinking that he might be able to slip past her.

Thistlefur respectability and morality
โพ male || 39 moons..
โพ a large, dark tabby tom with a wild pelt and sharp yellow, thistlefur is quite the intimating tom. his bulky appearance suits him well, since his personality is also quite daunting. he isn't the kindest cat around, with a ready tongue and quick hostility. obviously, thistlefur isn't very friendly with other cats and prefers to be alone. even with his unnerving disposition, this tom isn't arrogant or boastful. actually, he has a deep respect for those higher in power and is one of the most respectable cats you will ever meet, despite his antagonistic ways. thistlefur is quite wise and intelligent and easily reads other cats. secretly, he does not agree with the way GraceClan is run and would like to someday see a change. he finds it unfair that she-cats don't get enough respect in the clan and don't exactly have a chance to find their place in clan life. โพ thistlefur grew up without knowing his father and without siblings. he was an only child and was incredibly close with his mother. he did everything to make her proud and she was his biggest role model. he was always grateful for what she did for him. nightbird, his mother, suddenly became distant a few moons after thistlefur was apprenticed. she didn't speak or do much, just laid around with a faraway look him her eyes. she also would start disappearing for a couple of days and return only during the nighttime. her son was growing very concerned by her behavior and would try speaking with her, but she still wouldn't say a word. the medicine cat didn't know what to do with her. one fateful day, nightbird left to never return. thistlefur was grief stricken and his entire personality switched. he didn't search for her much since he assumed she had passed away. thistlefur doesn't really believe in StarClan but hopes for the possibility to see his mother one more time. โพ nightbird was his mother.

Scorchkit, Thistlefur
You just said "dark tabby" so I wasn't sure what shade he was? I assumed gray but if that's wrong I can change it easily.
Besides that, Thistlefur is approved. Though I will note, there is already a cat with the prefix "Thistle" in a similar age range. They're far enough apart that you don't have to change, but they're still fairly close (8 moons) so I figured I would mention it.))

VenomSkypaw Skypaw felt a shiver of satisfaction course through him as he successfully snuck past the she-cat. He may have given up his clan life to live with the twolegs, but it seemed like he still had some skills from his apprenticeship. Padding gleefully into the pines, he stopped a ways in and scented the air once more, searching for prey. He could hear the rustling of birds, but he didn't much care for them. He preferred the earthiness of mice or the tanginess of a vole, to the oily meat of a bird. Plus, he hated eating around all of the feathers and they were a nightmare to pluck out. There was no way his presence would go unknown with a mess of feathers scattered around. Frowning, Skypaw ventured a bit closer to the water, wondering if he could find a water vole. He would have to make sure he stayed downwind of the warrior, so that she wasn't alert to his presence. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a woodpecker hopping along the roots of the trees that surrounded them but he didn't stop, he couldn't get distracted from his task. He needed to get his prey and leave.

Skypaw felt alarm course through him when he heard Azurepaw come up to him. He would blame shock for his lack of reaction when the she-cat greeted him warmly. He thought that he would be chased off, deemed a traitor in the eyes of every Graceclan cat. Yet here she was, welcoming him like a long lost friend. โ...Er fine, I guess,โ He replied, uncertain of how he should act as he stepped away from her, pulling his tail free. โHow are you, Azurepaw? Though I suppose you are no longer an apprentice.โ He assumed, getting more comfortable with talking with her as he put a few tail-lengths of space between them.

It should have been quite peaceful among her clanmates in the camp, looking at the streaks of weak light making patterns of the forest floor. However, Cottonwing was really just idling, and that made her mind wander to unpleasant places. The young warrior had seemingly gone to one of those unpleasant places, eyes focused on some distant point as she paced mindlessly. that is, until the sounds of cats moving back and forth and loud birdcall took her back to reality. Trying to look as productive as possible, she headed out the camp entrance to go and do... something, anything that could keep her occupied. Gathering herbs, hunting, whatever was necessary. She could vaguely scent Azureriver and Dapplefern, weak against the assorted mixture of cats who headed through here every day but the freshest ones there- maybe they'd gone out earlier? She wouldn't mind running into either of them, provided it wouldn't be an annoyance. She wouldn't be bothersome, would she?

VenomSkypaw Skypaw narrowed his eyes at her and shook his head 'Azureriverโ he whispered to himself. 'Just as bright and cheerful as ever. Are these are your true feelings, or are you just well rehearsed in your responses?โ He wondered to himself. He knew very well how strict Graceclan cats were but never showing disgruntled attitudes. You always had to be full of poise. You would think that with Skypaw's characteristics that he would have enjoyed that life. But he wasn't like those cats. He couldn't hide what he was feeling and he definitely couldn't handle all of the other rules that we're forced upon them. So that was why he left. โCongratulations on your warriorship,โ He replied, coolly. โAs far as me getting into trouble, don't you worry about that. I'm just going to find myself a vole and be on my way. It's Greenleaf, right? There's plenty to go around.โ

VenomSkypaw Skypaw's whiskers twitched in amusement as he watched the scattered brained she-cat. She hadn't changed much from their apprenticeship, that was for sure. Though it did surprise him that she was so open to letting him hunt in the clan territory. If she had been any other cat, he was sure that he would have been chased off by now. He wasn't even sure that his own siblings would have let him stay. But Azureriver was too nice to run him off, which was a very fortunate thing for Skypaw. 'Thank Starclan it was you I ran into,โ he quietly exclaimed to himself. He didn't know if his ancestors watched out for him anymore, but it was hard to shake a faith that he grew up with. He had never been like his brother who didn't believe in Starclan. โSure, I don't mind the company. But I have to find that vole first,โ He mewed as he crouched down, looking around in a alert way as he waved his tail back and forth. He was feeling playful at the moment, happy that he was able to be in his old home and hunt with an old friend.

Cinderrose ;; { lavishly - graceclan camp }
Cinderrose felt another stab of guilt at Paleflight's tilt of his head at her reaction. She didn't want to come off as.. rude to the tom, like she often did with others. The she-cat hoped he knew that she didn't have bad intentions and couldn't help but be wary. This was all new and strange to her, the whole arranged partnership thing. Cinderrose wondered if Paleflight was curious about her reasons behind her response, but didn't say anything. The calico's whiskers twitched at her mate's slight challenge and a rare confidence lit her blue eyes. Today, she was feeling less insecure than most, which was a great sensation. She was starting to feel more at peace around Paleflight, slowly but surely. "You're on," she meowed, returning his challenge. Being a lithe feline, Cinderrose was quite agile when it came to running. Rabbit hunting was one of her favorites. ( Aphelyon then let's change the prefix to bramble. i forgot we already had a thistle, oops! thank you for letting me know, i wouldn't want this to get too confusing, lol. his sprite looks fine, btw! )

Azureriver ~ Darkpines ~ ~ lavishly ~ Azureriver crept up next to Skypaw, keeping a fair distance between them. She sniffed the air softly to find any scents of prey nearby. There was a few water voles nearby which was a good sign.
She padded away slowly to track the scent of her prey and stopped when she found a vole eating a few blades of grass. She crouched as close to the floor as she can and slowly padded forward with her paws making no sound.
When she was close to the creature, she pounced on it with a yowl and bit itโs neck. The poor thing was dead in seconds and itโs lifeless body now in the jaw of a cat. Azureriver padded back to Skypaw and dropped the vole by his side, โHereโs one, I can catch another if you like..โ

๐น๐ช๐ป๐ฝ๐ต๐ ๐ฌ๐ต๐ธ๐พ๐ญ๐ Paleflight Paleflight let out a soft purr at her reaction and nodded. โLet's go then,โ He mewed to her, leading the way out the camp. He could smell the mixed scents of the cats who had already left this morning and he felt a twinge of excitement run through him. It wasn't often that he got excited about something but he was looking forward to hunting with Cinderrose. Unlike most of the clan, Paleflight didn't really care if he and Cinderrose had kits right off. He would much rather get to know her first and he didn't think that would be accomplished by just wandering around the camp, talking. He wanted to see her in action, he wanted to see what drove her. They had been apprentices around the same time, but he had never trained with her, so he didn't know what to expect. But she was a warrior, just like him. Which meant that he didn't really want to deprive her of her duties before they had even begun. They could worry about a family later; that is if she wanted one with him.

Venom((It wasn't an insult, just an observation. c: Also, sorry this post is short. I'm getting tired and I think I am going to head for bed. )) Skypaw:
Skypaw straightened up from his crouch then leaned down and sniffed the vole before looking up at the she-cat before him. โNo, this is fine,โ he told her as he took a bite. โIt works out that you caught it, because then I can say I didn't hunt in your territory,โ He mewed. He nudged the prey closer to her and licked his lips, lapping up the remains of the meal from his face. โYou can have the last bite if you'd like,โ He said as he gestured to it with his tail.

(Ohhhhhh cool and don't worry, get your sleep my child ) Azureriver ~ Darkpines ~ ~ lavishly ~ Azureriver watched Skypaw eat the vole. She smiled at his little joke. She stood quiet as the tom continued to eat. There was something inside her hoping that he was satisfied with his meal yet there was another voice telling her it was fine and she should act normal around him.
She leaned down and took the last bite of the vole. She quickly licked her lips and buried the bones with practiced ease. Azureriver looked up at Skypaw and smiled, โNo evidence left behind! And maybe we can use pine needles to cover your scent!โ She thought it was a rather good idea considering how pungent pine needles were.

Violetleaf & Applecloud | Camp | lavishly
"Indeed, there is always work to do," Violetleaf agreed. Privately, she thought that Applecloud could really take her example and do a little more for the Clan. It wasn't that she looked down on her fellow Clanmate, she would never do that. The she-cat had a good heart. She was known for always lending a helpful paw, always an admirable trait. However, there was always room for improvement.
So when Applecloud proposed they both go on a border-hunting patrol, of course she would say yes. Not just for herself and her constant need to busy herself, but for Applecloud's good too, so she could work harder and better. A Clan is the sum of its parts, after all. If one part lagged, then the entire thing could fall into ruin. "Of course!" she said. "Always good to go out and renew the borders, and its good to stretch your legs and see something other than the camp. Is there any place you had in mind?"

Aphelyon ((Making another tom was merely a suggestion, not a plan. But I can if she doesn't end up mates with some other cat. I can also make another she-cat so that Snowfang has a mate and Berrykit and Scorchkit have a mother; if you're open to him being their father.))

Owlstrike โYea, the prey has been running ever since green leaf started!โ Owlstrike mewed, her whiskers twitching. โItโs also so pretty out today!What have you been up to?โ She asked, eying the water. Owlstrike wasnโt that good of a swimmer herself, and preferred hunting on land in preference to fish. A bit odd, she supposed, but no one had really talked to her about her distaste. She supposed no one really cared, as she wasnโt ever going to be fighting anyways.

Venom Skypaw:
Skypaw flicked his tail and nodded in agreement at her words. It was a good idea for him to roll in the pine needles to mask his scent, though he didnโt much look forward to doing that. It would take him awhile to get rid of the scent of pine from his coat; not that he minded that smell, it was just that his twolegs might not appreciate him coming home smelling of dirt and trees. They preferred him well groomed and he never found it hard to live up to their standards because of his own personal hygiene. He would just have to be sure that he licked off all of the scent before he stepped foot in the nest again.
The tom started to gather a pile of fallen needles that lay at the foot of the trees around them. Once he was sure that he had enough, Skypaw rolled around in the pungent foliage. Satisfied that his scent was well covered, he stood and shook off the needles that clung to his fur. โThere,โ He exclaimed, โNow we should be ready to go!โ
Dawnmoss Applecloud:
Applecloud thought for a moment before responding. They didnโt really have to worry too much about cats crossing the border other than towards the farm, and they hadnโt had any evidence of fox or badger in their territory. So, she supposed that it would be best to patrol where there was more likely a cat to cross.
โLetโs head to the Thunderpath. We can follow it until we hit the end of our border and make fresh scents there.โ She suggested to her fellow warrior.
Even though Applecloud was older than Violetleaf, she never felt that she was her senior. Violetleaf always seemed to do the right thing in every situation and Applecloud admired her for it. It was because of cats like her that Applecloud strove to better herself for her clan. She had a lot to live up to, but she never felt like she could be the cat that she was expected to be.
Raven Dapplefern:
Dapplefern twitched her tail and sniffed as she finished grooming herself, turning her nose up slightly at her clanmate.
โI would say that prey has been running ever since Newleaf started, but thatโs just me.โ She replied, her tone pleasant, but her words slightly mocking the younger she-cat. โI was about to go fishing before you kindly interrupted,โ she told her, as she stood and started to pad along the bank. โBut I suppose I could switch to hunting if you want to join me,โ She mewed over her shoulder.
She was well aware of how Owlstrike avoided the water, though she had never heard the she-cat out right complain about it. But she figured that she never would, since complaining wasnโt the Graceclan way. The cats of her clan did well to follow their duties, and any misgivings they did have were buried deep within themselves.

VenomSkypaw:Skypaw led the way out of the pines as he followed the river back towards Stonebridge. He flicked his ears back towards Azureriver as he listened to her ask him multiple questions, amused at her energy. She reminded him so much of his sister Dapplefern, except for much nicer.
"I live at the farm with the twolegs," he informed her while they walked. "It's not as bad as you might think. They let me roam around freely and I get a warm nest to sleep in each night. You get used to their smell and their pellet food. But I much prefer the taste of fresh-kill. Which is why I am here hunting, I couldn't stand the thought of eating the bland pellets this morning."
