(Gnight!)
Robinfall frowned at this, tail-tip flicking. "You'd be so quick to give up their old territory to them if they came back?" she asked, more curious than outwardly hostile, though it was clear she wasn't in agreement with this, either. "I can't imagine them living out of the tunnels. Their entire Clan was built around the existence of ancient streams that ran under the ground, and now that their old camp and most of that system is gone, I don't know where they would go after that. But if they did come back, would you really be willing to reestablish our old borders without a fight?"
Morningglow couldn't help but chuckle at Dragonfire's anticipation, shaking her head. "Honestly, I hope Silvershadow's the only one. I don't know if we could handle our old sister Clan coming to take back what they once had. Our last interaction with them wasn't exactly positive." Not long before the landslides had been the fight against Deadstar, and even the youngest kits in the Clan knew the stories of FlashClan's bloodthirsty leader and the battle that had seen Frozenstar rise up to lead NightClan following Nightstar's death. "Although we knew what FlashClan was truly like, many of the younger warriors and apprentices only know the stories passed down about our rivalry. They're not exactly well-liked here." “I am willing to follow the guidance of Starclan. I...have been having dreams. Very short ones, ones that may not hold much importance...but each one shows a burst of bright light, and then darkness. Flickers, like a heart beat. Flashes of light. I cannot say for certain, and Crescentmoon is trying to decipher it, but I feel in my heart that Flashclan has something to do with this.” Frozenstar explained lightly, his eyes troubled. “If desperation is high enough, cats can adapt to anything. I will wait for any guidance from Starclan, above all else.” Dragonfire gave a small flicker of memory. “The greatest battle of our time. I remember the pain of losing Nightstar, and also the burn of inspiration as Frozenstar dove into battle and defeated our greatest threat. I agree...Flashclan can never threaten us like that again.”

Turtlepaw blinked in surprise at the suggestion, blindsided. "Is that something you can just do?" she asked, amazed at the idea that you could simple ask someone to be your sibling. "Huh, well, why not? I've always kinda wanted a sister," she agreed with a grin.
Robinfall frowned at the mentions of Frozenstar's dreams, feeling the fur along her spine prickle involuntarily. "Do you have any ideas about what it could mean?" she pressed, equally as troubled as Frozenstar appeared to be. "Dreams like those... they're likely messages from StarClan. Do you think they're trying to warn us about something?" Is Frozenstar was having dreams but Crescentmoon wasn't, it was an odd occurence indeed.
"You make us sound like elders," Morningglow purred in a lighter tone, nudging her mate affectionately. "It feels like it was forever ago, though, doesn't it? It's only been a few seasons since that fight, but things have changed so much since then. It's almost like we're a different Clan. Still, some things never will change." She glanced around the familiar camp as if to cement her point; though new members had come and old ones passed on, their hillside camp looked the same as it had all those moons ago.

He swallowed, and mewed. “Crescentmoon thinks the flashes that are similar to heartbeats may have to do with a revival of Flashclan, that the heart of warriors still beat from them. Although the darkness troubles me. Will they come from darkness? Create darkness?” He mewed to his deputy. Dragonfire nodded once, his eyes flashing with deep memory. “So much has changed...so many of our old clanmates are gone. Doveflight, Breezefrost, Moonblaze, Fireflight... and of course, others....” He lowered his gaze, remembering their lost kit now. He closed his eyes and nodded. “So much change, yet so much is the same.”

(I love Harepaw, what a sweetheart haha)
Robinfall's frown deepened. "What would we even do if FlashClan came back to the forest? Their territory is hardly fit to live in, and the prey has only recently returned there. I would think that by now, they've either found a new home or disbanded entirely." Still, flashes of light did seem to allude to their old sister Clan, and if they were to return, it likely wouldn't go smoothly. "What would you like me to do, until you know for sure? Should we patrol the borders more often, just in case?"
Morningglow's smile turned bittersweet at the mention of her lost daughter. Both Fireflight and her mate Flickerheart had been lost to Greencough when Dawnpaw and Turtlepaw were young, still small enough that the memories of their parents were fuzzy. "But change isn't all bad. So many things have changed, yes, but I think we've mostly been better for it."
Turtlepaw brightened at the suggestion, nodding eagerly. "That would be great, I bet Lynxstorm would be really proud if I managed to bring something back!" she agreed, onviously eager to please her mentor. "Ah, should we tell someone we're going?"

You do know that I highly value your words, and your ability to make up for my softer tendencies. I could not lead this clan without you.” Frozenstar mewed to his deputy, voice tired yet rich with meaning. Lonliness had settled into the tom who had lost all but one of his kits and his mate and sister. Dragonfire shook his head, trying not to let a pang of pained bitterness fill him, that his daughter had been taken away when her kits had needed her. He blinked and mewed. “I sure hope so, Morningglow. No cat in the clan can speak for the strength you’ve had for so long.” He moved to press his muzzle to hers.

Robinfall softened some at Frozenstar's words. Though not on the same scale as him, she knew the loneliness that came from losing family. She only had one kit left herself, and their relationship was... less than stable. "Of course. We might disagree sometimes, but I trust you, Frozenstar. I know you'll do what you think is right." With a dip of her head, she turned and left the den, intending to send out an extra border patrol.
Morningglow chuckled modestly at Dragonfire's words. "Oh, I don't know anything about strength, I've just always done what I thought was right," she replied with a smile, returning the affectionate nuzzle.
"Oh, you're right! That would be way cooler," Turtlepaw agreed enthusiastically, trotting to catch up with Harepaw as they slipped out of camp. She walked with a bit of a skip in her step, moving a few paces ahead of Harepaw as she kept her eyes open for signs of prey. With the cold beginning to set in, prey was a bit harder to come by, but it didn't take long for the sounds of birds to reach her ears. Flashing Harepaw a grin over her shoulder, she scaled a nearby tree quickly, chasing a robin. As she neared it, however, the bird spotted her coming and took off with a squawk. Harepaw sighed, disappointed, and leaped lightly back down to solid earth.

Silvershadow padded over to where Nightkit was by the nursery. She nudged the small black kit into the warm den and over to an empty nest towards the back, sitting down and curling her tail over her paws. "Nightkit, I want you to try and get along with the others here, okay?" The fluffy queen groomed her kit's fur as she spoke.
Nightkit nodded, whining a little in protest to being cleaned again so soon. "Momma, I don't need to be groomed again."

Thornpaw nodded sheepishly, flashing his mother a lopsided grin. "Yeah, you're right. We're NightClan! Not even a pack of dogs or wolves or bears could take us down!" He proclaimed proudly, jutting out his chest. He fell back on his haunches with a small grunt and curled his tail around his paws. "I wonder where Blackthorn is, I haven't seen him around," he craned his neck to scan the camp for a moment in search of his mentor. Thornpaw wasn't exactly keen to go out, but he'd been stuck in camp for a while and his legs were beginning to feel restless.

Midnightsnow walked behind sungaze, her ears flattening slightly when the darkness of the tunnels enveloped the two. "Its kind of creepy." The she-cat giggled, pushing away her fears for the excitement of adventure. She widened her bi-color eyes but it didn't help in seeing any better, it was near pitch black, and she could rely only on her hearing and her whiskers. "Dont stop suddenly." She wanted sungaze playfully
~~~
Bluesmoke lunged at the mouse, giving it a clean neck break. He nodded in satisfaction and looked over at cloudstep, "good. A few more and it'll be a successful trip at least." He mewed, he was a pathetic conversationalist though he was fairly certain that a shy cat like cloudstep didn't mind
~~~
Winterkit lunged forwards, though she tripped over her own paws and fell onto the ground. "That's hard." She mewed before jumping back onto her paws. The little white kit wanted to try again.
Iciclekit's attempt wasn't much better, he tumbled over himself and knocked right into Sunflowerpaw who just giggled at the kit.

(Yeah, I'll have Night join Winter, Icicle and Bear.)
Nightkit managed to slip away from her mother and spotted the other two older kits doing something she had never seen before. She padded over, her tiny legs hurrying over to join them. "Hi," she squeaked, tail waving happily.

Nightkit's ears perked up happily. "Ooo! Please show me! I want to learn too!" The small little kit bounced around the much bigger warrior happily.

(Heyo, sorry I wasn't on yesterday, I had a game night with some friends and decided to host at my apartment which meant cleaning and shopping lol. It was so much fun though!)
Roselight purred at Thornpaw's enthusiasm, though she was distracted by the mention of Blackthorn. Come to think of it, she hadn't seen him for the announcement. "Maybe he's out hunting or patrolling?" she suggested.
"Hah, I'll try not to," Sungaze chuckled in response, though he was starting to feel uneasy down here, too. It really was dark, wasn't it? With just the faintest light from the hole they'd created in the ceiling, the darkness quickly grew to the point where Sungaze could hardly see his paws in front of him. "It is kinda creepy, isn't it? Do you think they're empty, now that FlashClan is gone?" He knew the old Clan used to hunt rodents, lizards, and even bats down here, but he hadn't heard a peep since stepping foot inside. As he was talking, however, a mouse squeaked loudly and ran over Sungaze's path, spooking the tom, who froze in the darkness mid-step.

Bluesmoke continued to pad behind the she-cat, holding in a sigh when she asked her question. "Fine." He answered curtly, "and yourself?" He returned the question, he knew there was no reason to be rude towards his clanmate
~~~
"I'll show you, watch watch!" Winterkit giggled in excitement as she crouched down into her hunters crouch. It was actually pretty decent considering her age. A little off balance in the center, she obviously wouldn't be able to hunt but she was delighted none the less

(I'm glad you had fun!)
Thornpaw furrowed his brow doubtfully, "I don't know, I haven't seen him around at all lately. Weird," he shrugged, flicking the tip of his tail, "I guess I'll just wait around until he shows up, but there's not much to do around here." He didn't really feel like playing with the kits, even though they were kind of cute, and he definitely didn't want to bother the elders - there was no way in StarClan he was getting roped into applying mouse bile on their ticks again any time soon, that stuff absolutely reeked.

Nightkit stopped bouncing around and watched the older kit crouch down. "WOW! I want to try!" She wiggled into the position to mimic Winterkit. Her hunters crouch was far from good as her tail stuck up and she was practically laying on the ground with her front paws sprawled out in front of her. "See, I can do it too!"

(ooooh that sounds like a great time!)
Blackear let out an amused mrrow and lightly nudged Nightkit's side. "An excellent crouch, if you want to take a nap with your prey!" He crouched once more, circling the kits slowly. As he circled them a third time, he lashed out a paw, lightly knocking over the kits. Blackear purred, sitting up and waving his tail. "It seems I've caught my prey."
"G-Good, thanks..." Cloudstep slowed when she caught the scent of vole ahead. She stopped and dropped into a crouch, following the scent towards a bush a few tail lengths ahead of them. As she got closer, she saw the small creature with it's back turned to her. She wiggled her haunches before pouncing, her jaws opening as she landed. Cloudstep snapped the creature's neck and carried it out of the bushes. She flicked her tail and motioned in the direction of camp, silently asking if they should return to camp or keep hunting.

A tiny squeak escapes the now upside-down kit. Nightkit laughed as she waved her paws in the air. "That was fun! I will get better at the crouch and be the bestest warrior ever!"

(smokey I just realized I never replied to Harepaw, my bad!)
Roselight simply shrugged, pushing herself to her feet with a stretch. "Well, if Blackthorn isn't around, maybe Robinfall will let me take you on a hunting patrol?" she suggested with a smile. "Looks like my own apprentice is nowhere to be found, anyway." She shook her head almost helplessly, though she didn't look too worried. "Perhaps she snuck out of camp to explore? She's an apprentice now, and she knows the territory, so it's not as though she really needs to, but she could at least tell me where she was going. Maybe some of the other warriors will come along with us." She glanced around to see who was free after the ceremony.
Turtlepaw squeaked in surprise as her name was called out, hastily turning to face Harepaw as the mouse limped her way. It was slower than usual, but Turtlepaw hadn't really been prepared to catch something out of the blue like this. Still, she dropped into a well-practiced hunter's crouch and swiftly leaped after the injured animal, snapping it up by the neck to kill it. "Whew, you surprised me!" she laughed, setting the prey down on the ground for a moment.
